And yet, the Trump administration's ceaseless repetition of some vaguely defined "Biden disaster" will no doubt bore into more brains than this actual fact.
Fun fact I just noticed: The U.S. had about half as much total job growth in 2025 (total) as during an average *month* during the Biden administration.
181k net jobs added over the entire course of 2025, versus average of 329k each month from 2021-2024.

Minor quibble with this dipshit, but the use of the word “kiddos” makes me want to choke someone.
Rollins: "School lunches are next. A lot of schools don't even have an oven anymore. When I was growing up, lunch ladies were back there cooking meals on stoves. So how do we completely and fundamentally change the system to go back to where we're serving healthy whole foods to these kiddos?"

FWIW, I agree that attacking bots with phrases like "kill yourself" could nurture bad habits that might make it easier to attack humans with similar phrasing.
But I also think it's deceptive and a violation of trust to send bots that pretend to be human into public spaces to interact with people.
