Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story 🤔

It is dangerous and terrible but also just so deeply embarrassing that this is how our country is being run

Opinion | The Trump Administration Floats a New Way to Humiliate the Legal Profession

“So damaged is the department’s reputation for truth telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that ‘the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers ‘can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.”’

Exclusive | White House Puts RFK Jr.’s HHS on Tighter Leash After MAHA Setbacks Aides close to the president grew worried that perceived disorganization and an antivaccine focus could prove damaging in the midterms.

I love these journalistic fictions that normalize the administration and act like there are reasonable people there working to intelligently rein in dangerous impulses

Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.”

Now he’s begging them for help.

It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

Troubling development--Core PCE inflation was hot in Jan at 0.36% m/m & 3.1% y/y BUT it would have been even hotter had BEA not shifted its source data in an ad hoc fashion to avoid showing an 11.9% m/m rise in legal fees shown in the CPI. The BEA acknowledged they made this choice...not a good look

The Colorado River will deliver less than a third of normal water flow this summer. And, Rocky Mountain ski season has been disastrously bad this year.

On Lebanon:
- Israeli threats are partially pressure tactics on LAF vs Hezbollah
- Lebanon is not Gaza. Hezbollah is not PLO & Beirut 2026 is not 1982
- Re-occupying South Lebanon won’t produce peace for either side
- Keep an eye on direct talks proposed in France to de-escalate

A White House official told the Journal that
people who criticize the videos for being insensitive or for gamifying war are rooting against America's mission, adding that "no idea is too stupid" for the TikTok team, which comprises about 15 people in their 20s and 30s. The White House TikTok account launched in August.
