RAJU: Congress has the authority to declare war. Shouldn't it have authorized this war?

MIKE JOHNSON: In my view, uh, right now our military and the commander in chief is presiding over the completion of an operation that was limited in scope

Secretary Rubio's remarks indicate that Israel put U.S. forces in harm's way by insisting on attacking Iran. And the administration was complicitβ€”joining their war instead of talking them down.

This is unacceptable of the President, and unacceptable of a country that calls itself our ally.

Washington roasted for using AI feature with heavily accented English instead of actual Spanish on state helpline | Fortune The Washington Department of Licensing said the self-service option includes 10 languages and runs on a newer, AI-driven technology.

For months, callers to the Washington state Department of Licensing who have requested automated service in Spanish have instead heard an AI voice speaking English in a strong Spanish accent. https://bit.ly/4u4kAS6

A federal judge has revoked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s ability to restrict members of Congress from entering ICE facilities. While DHS appealed immediately, others hailed the ruling as a tribute to common sense. trib.al/LzwAwPO

Hillary Clinton goes off on Republicans after it’s revealed unauthorized images of her were released: I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.

Some Alleged Polymarket Insiders Made a Fortune on U.S. Strikes on Iran One user made roughly half a million in one day.

A Polymarket account in the name of β€œMagamyman” placed a bet on this weekend’s U.S. strikes on Iran 71 minutes before the news broke publicly β€” when the market had it at just 17% probability β€” and walked away with over half a million dollars.

While Trump creates chaos in the Middle East, we want Americans to be safe.

Please heed these recommendations.

You just know that some caveman, somewhere, smeared paint on his ass and then carefully pressed it against the wall of a cave.

Somewhere, there is a cave with a perfectly preserved ass print tens of thousands of years old.

Florida just cut off access to HIV treatment for 16,000 people. And they’re not alone. It’s not just cruelty…it’s a deadly public health crisis in the making.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.
Support
So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
