September is coming, I can't wait! RFK Jr had to push back his date for an autism cure until March 2026, but promised lots of new results this September. Medical reporters: sharpen those pencils, it's gonna be wild.

I don't want Democrats who return us to the status quo.
I want Democrats who destroy MAGA, undo the harm, and make it structurally impossible to repeat this disaster.

Universe’s mysteries may never be solved because of Trump’s Nasa cuts, experts say
‘Extinction-level cuts’ to space agency’s spending means labs will close and deep-space missions will be abandoned

LLMs are, at the end of the day, fancy search engines in their core architecture.
There's nothing we can really do to stop this type of corruption other than controlling the training data.
In other words, back to the hard but essential work of knowledge production & curation.

With new technologies come new threats. The latest is "LLM grooming", where malicious actors aim to infiltrate respectable LLMs with disinformation.
This is already happening and needs to be addressed before the problem gets worse.

It's sickening to see that the Manafort/Russian operative plan is "back on the table as official U.S. policy."

Good chart.
I am an economist like Oren Cass is, so I made a detailed analysis of the impact of when NAFTA was signed in 1994.
Pretty illuminating.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.
![I am the immigration attorney for Jerce Reyes Barrios, born in January 16, 1989 in Venezuela. 2. In February and March 2024, Mr. Reyes Barrios marched in two demonstrations in Venezuela protesting the authoritarian rule of Maduro. At the second demonstration, he was detained and taken to a clandestine building where he was tortured (electric shocks and suffocation) along with other demonstrators. 3. Shortly after his release, he fled Venezuela for the United States. He registered with CBP One in Mexico, then presented himself to CBP officials on the day of his appointment. He was taken into custody and detained at Otay Mesa Detention Facility in September 2024. 4. We applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT protection in December 2024. His final individual hearing is set for April 17, 2025 before Judge Robinson at the Otay Mesa Immigration Court. 5. On March 15, 2025, Mr. Reyes Barrios was deported to El Salvador with no notice to counsel or family. It was not until March 18, 2025 that counsel was able to reach an ICE official and learn that he had in fact been deported. 6. Mr. Reyes Barrios was/is a professional soccer player in Venezuela. He has never been arrested or charged with a crime. He has a steady employment record as a soccer player, as well as a soccer coach for children and youth. 7. Initially, Mr. Reyes Barrios was placed in maximum security at Otay Mesa and accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member. The accusation is based on two things. First, he has a tattoo on his arm of a crown sitting atop a soccer ball with a rosary and the word "Dies." OHS alleges that this tattoo is proof of gang membership. In reality, he chose this tattoo, because it is similar to the logo for his favorite soccer team Real Madrid. See logo below. [pictures of the tattoo and the pictures of the logo]. 8. Second, OHS reviewed his social media posts and found a photo of Mr. Reyes Barrios making a hand gesture that they allege is proof of gang membership.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifncv2sfxob3h7ozdkoymku3wfpbknlroa6bric46v5y7asbrzrim@jpeg)

Gee ... I wonder why we don't see a Fox News full of videos of corrupt federal workers being led away in handcuffs for committing all that corruption that Musk and Trump assure us is rampant in the federal workforce.
