A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.
For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

DHS claimed they had arrested 11 people at a "shitshow" Greg Bovino staged on September 27. Only 5 were ever publicly charged (another was a journalist who is suing). Of those 3 cases have been dismissed. [2 got no-billed.]

Too bad the opening arguments guys couldn't grill you about your decision to do a text "interview" with the "president".
You almost convinced me that you are a serious person when talking to them, and then you deliver the next absolute low in the history of journalism.
Shame on you!

If you are against rich people buying policy, the Dems have to get their act together, too (of course in a very different way compared to the GOP).
Finally, I really don't understand why you are so angry. None of us knows everything. You act and speak as if your opinion is the only legit PoV. Why?

And regarding your point: for decades, the Democrats were the party of the working class. Now all their messages first need the blessing of the big money donors..
Err, my analysis included a sentence about dems going "bipartisan" ... and by doing so handing the keys to the most influential platform for young folks to billionaires and techno fascists.

Jordan managed to convince large sways of the public that "Biden censuring social media" was a real story.
Democrats are good at some things, but they really suck at others.
There are plenty of blue folks in Congress who are pretty much useless.
Just look how they all cheered with the GOP about "Tiktok so dangerous, we better ban it" ... and by doing so, they handed the platform to right wing billionaires.
Or how they allowed Jordan to run his first weaponisation ...

The Russians really dislike that idea lol
So alone their heart attacks over it are worth it.
Sure, but I really doubt that Fs will be able to carry a significant payload for 3000 kms and accurately hit a target any time soon.
But I admit: I went to xitter this morning, and the very first post on the "trending" tomahawk topic was a post from a German/Russian "influencer" girl, and she ...
