KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

NEW: A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men, including minors, to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits.

When we asked them about it in January, they lied about the huge security flaw. Here's why we're naming them now:

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

Both of the options here are human writers. The first option is unprocessed human writing and the second option is human writing run through a language model to reproduce the same outputs with different words

If it couldn't have existed without training data, it isn't creating anything at all.

PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, sits under a tree with a laptop in front of him. SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, stands back in the distance.
ARTHUR: This episode of Star Trek has Picard trying to SOLVE Fermat’s Theorem. But Fermat’s Theorem was solved in 1994, just a few years after this episode was written.
SHELDON: Wait. WAIT.

PANEL 2: Close up on SHELDON, dramatically lit from below.
SHELDON: Are you saying Star Trek’s not an…ACCURATE portrayal of the future?? THAT IT’S ALL JUST LIES??

PANEL 3: Back to the scene with Arthur under the tree.
ARTHUR: Well, itβ€”
SHELDON: DOES PICARD EVEN LIKE TEA?

AI cameras are everywhere β€” and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

β€œIn a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

Since this slipped through cracks ystrday: Trump said Iranians could have hit their own girls school, because they also have Tomahawk missiles

THEY DO NOT. These are not "generic." Used by US UK Japan Aussies Dutch. NOT Iran

Either: 1) Trump doesn't know this. Disqualifying.
2) He does. Liar.

The chaos across multiple airports is a totally unnecessary Republican-created problem. Dems have proposed funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, yet Republicans – who hold a majority in both the House and Senate – continue to hold these agencies hostage in order to get more funding for ICE.

I don't believe they will.
Not because what they're writing isn't shameful. It most certainly is.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
