Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

There's no pot of money to pay your pension. It is paid by the contributions of those in work at the time. The proportion of pensioners to workers is increasing so we need 250000 immigrants per year paying taxes and nat insurance to fund pensions.

Boy this is traveling quickly around the country. Counties are beginning manual recounts of ballots. Hopefully entire states will consider doing the same as more suspicions rise. This illustrates the need for printed, stored ballots in every election district throughout the country.

Trump promised to bring down the cost of housing.
But his "big beautiful bill" slashes billions in rental assistance, extends tax breaks for predatory landlords, and restricts state governments from cracking down on AI-powered rent-gouging.
Another Trump lie.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.
Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”
They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.
And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.

All Members of Congress must immediately disclose all trades in the market over the last week.

The Trump-caused market chaos is ripe for abuse. Who knew Trump would cave on tariffs and when?
The public deserves answers.

The only people who are touting the tariffs are people who are paid to say so
AEI: “.. If the Trump Administration wants to argue that essentially all economists are wrong and that its tariff formula makes sense, then whoever developed it should come forward and defend his work, rather than providing anonymous statements on background.”

Trump–curious optimists believed that he would return to the presidency better prepared than when he left it. But the past couple of weeks have shown that his administration has no idea what it’s doing, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.
