“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

I mean, can't some reporters at least ask the president on camera why he canceled vaccines that prevent cancer? (I know that's simplified but that's the point)

For decades the tech industry has insulated itself from criticism by leveraging the rhetoric of progressivism & benignity towards the disenfranchised & disabled, w promises of “access” & “democratization” that their products afford. We can’t stop them using this lang but we can stop falling for it.
In an internal memo in May, Meta laid out its plans to release facial recognition in its smart glasses, to the blind first, & then to the general public.

Donald Trump’s Disingenuous Promise to Champion Free Speech
It is Donald Trump’s systematic campaign to stamp out dissent and punish those who disagree with him that will be remembered as among the most singularly un-American aspects of his disruptive tenure.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Every dollar that is moved from FIT taxation to sales or tariffs is a dollar donald trump and his buddies aren't going to have to pay
Tariffs are regressive. They're like sales taxes. Its no wonder that our economy on the lower half is grounding down, Trump is deliberately fleecing us.

The Florida Senate just removed the provision discussed in the below story – which would make it easier for the sugar industry to sue critics for defamation – from its version of the so-called "Farm Bill" (SB 290).
