Seems worth noting that ChatGPT Health failed to identify medical emergencies more than half the time in a recent study. The company that made that product just signed a deal with the "Department of War" and said trust us, it's all very safe and ethical.
Sam Altman says OpenAI has signed a deal with the DoD. Worded to sound different but on my first reading, “reflects them in law and policy” isn’t different to saying “any lawful use”

There's a real chance that the midterms will not be free and fair. If that happens America is truly dead.
🚨BREAKING: During a rambling rehash of false assertions of voter fraud, President Donald Trump claimed that Republicans will never lose an election “for 50 years” if his allies in Congress pass the SAVE America Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
They all keep doing it because not only does no one go to jail but penny-ante is right. Compared to the rest this is nothing.
I've been longing for good old-fashioned penny-ante corruption and Patel is giving it to me. I'll take "made his staffer go get him hand lotion" over "is deporting people with no criminal record to torture gulags" any day
This needs to be happening in every state. Stopping ICE is priority one.
🔥 WATCH: “I feel much safer with undocumented immigrants than I EVER will with ICE agents!!!” Sheriff deputies descend on a WILSON COUNTY man as he spouts some hard truths in opposition to a rumored ICE detention center (which they have now backed off of)

Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses. I could write a novel about this email. prospect.org/2026/02/17/e...

Yeah not only are these terrible, they bear little resemblance to other asks that party caucuses are making. I just got a Hispanic Caucus list of "non-negotiables" that has like 20 other things on it. The Senate Dems are squandering the moment in real time.
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown: 1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants 2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents 3. No more masks & require bodycams There are *already* standards on much of this. The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Their goal is not to actually do anything from a principled position. It's to figure out the best propaganda so they don't have to change a thing.
The Democrats have a problem that’s way bigger than whether or not people agree with their alleged positions at any given moment. The Democrats have a full-of-shit problem. sirota.substack.com/p/dems-credi...

🚨NEWS: Trump just quietly deployed his regulators to try to help GOP donors block states from reducing credit card interest rates, according to documents reviewed by @levernews.com. Trump's intervention comes at the same moment he is telling voters he supports capping credit card interest rates.

🚨NEWS: The Fed has quietly delivered nearly HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS of no-strings-attached bank bailouts in the last few months, according to documents reviewed by The Lever. The new bailouts are already 60% of the amount of the financial crisis TARP bailout. www.levernews.com/the-federal-...
This is the crux of MAGA. He doesn't bother to lie about it, and because he doesn't, and shows absolutely no conscience about it, he implies it's OK.
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.
Yep, it's just one more move in the never ending game of taking all the world's money.
Make no mistake, this is about enriching his oil executive donors who want access to Venezuela’s oil—not about democracy or Maduro or narcotics. Meanwhile, they tell us we can’t afford healthcare at home. No war with Venezuela.

Media is suddenly silent after years of reporting as though sexual assault is only a Muslim phenomenon. Where is the outrage??
100% of Thai women working in Israeli agriculture report being sexually assaulted in Israel 654 of 654 surveyed A report by immigration experts Dr. Yahel Kurlander and Dr. Shahar Shoham said “the State of Israel has abandoned these women” and that filing a complaint can mean losing both job and home

USA: For the first time in 30 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued vaccine guidance that differs from U.S. government advice. "The AAP is “strongly recommending” COVID-19 shots for children 6 months–2 years, while shots for older kids are advised but left to parents."

PFAS are everywhere and stubbornly stick around, but this research points to a practical, low-cost way to nudge them out: take gel-forming soluble fiber like psyllium or beta-glucan with meals to trap PFAS in the gut and send them out of the body www.earth.com/news/common-...

Stopping the mRNA vaccines and "shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate". Really? The Army vaccine for all variants disappeared in 2021. Probably because it would have been free. What others exist? mrdc.health.mil/index.cfm/me...
