Debunking the AI food delivery hoax that fooled Reddit A β€œwhistleblower” tried to corroborate his viral post with AI-generated evidence. This is how I caught him. PLUS: Grok's image-generation crisis, and the rapture over Claude Opus 4.5

β€œFabulists can now bog down reporters with evidence credible enough that it warrants review at a scale not possible before. The time you spent engaging with this made up story is time you did not spend on real leads.”

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s a meaningless scoop. Trump posted the story himself on social media. A real scoop is getting information Trump doesn’t want you to have.

I met Barack Obama in 2007 at a small event when his run for president was just starting. He asked me what I was working on. I said, a book about the 5 1967 Best Picture nominees. He said, quickly, "So...Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, In the Heat of the Night..." >

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

The theoretical resignation of both the President and the VP will result in Senate Pres (Tito Sotto) as Acting President, but only temporarily.

A special presidential election must be called within 2 months. The current VP is not barred then from running for President.; she will likely win.

In the months after Harris’ loss, much was made over the demographic shifts in the party. Young voters, Hispanic voters and Black voters β€” all central to the Democratic coalition β€” had moved substantially to the right. But Priorities’ post-election polling revealed an equally staggering swing: Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump β€” a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines.

β€œThe driver of behavior in β€˜24 was so much more about your media consumption,” Butterfield said.

I’m no longer in the faith & all that stuff. But I cannot imagine assembling these words in this order to the **Pope** Even pondering that action brings back every withering glare I have ever received from every nun who ever taught me.

Once the narrative is established that pink/progressives are electable within these barangays, the next step is for these barangay leaders to set forth more proof of concept to wider voters that the movement can be entrusted with government.

Maps like these and the underlying granular barangay vote data, now establish there are dozens of pink/progressive barangays across nation. If the Leni coalition concentrates on running their candidates and seizing councils in next barangay polls, that's a narrative that carries into 2028.

Through the popularity (matchless in the 1980s) of his wrestling persona built on exaggeration, as well as his later-in-life role as a plaintiff, Hulk Hogan was an indispensable contributor to the American way as it exists today. That is his legacy.

Infographic titled β€œOne Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show:
	β€’	Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.
	β€’	Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.

Key takeaway box below reads:
β€œUsing its β€˜shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.”

Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

The Supreme Court’s β€œshadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

The most rotten thing about JD Vance is that he has three half-Indian children including a son name "Vivek," yet he still prattles on about how you must descend from the Europeans who'd settled America prior to 1861 in order for your citizenship to be valid.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.
