In keeping with Donald Trump's statement, Sean Duffy is now questioning controllers' patriotism and vaguely threatening action against them.

The goal of an advisory panel is to help you, which sometimes requires criticism or redirection. The goal of the LLMs in this article are to retain users, which usually requires affirmation and flattery.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.
