There were two Super Bowl LX ads for fake companies:
- Mike Tyson's "pudgy" ad for MAHA Center dot org. The company was organized 2 days before the big game.
- AI dot com offers personal agentic AI, but is just a vibe-coded web page pitching a different product that doesn't work.

Trump to UAE president (5/15/25): "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

The Republicans control the House, the Senate, the SCOTUS, and the Presidency. They can change the House rules so the Continuing Resolution can be approved by a simple majority. The Republicans can avert the government shutdown if they want, and so the shutdown is definitely the Democrats' fault.

To be clear: no one is accusing Trump of being an Epstein perpetrator, so why is he blocking release of the files? Why does he threaten Congress saying a vote to release the files would be a “very hostile act to the administration”?
