So Grok lied. So did the other chat bots. AI is only as trustworthy as the one whispering in its ear.
When the story of troops sleeping on the floor in California after Trump sent them with no plan went viral… Musk’s Grok quickly sprang into action and told people the SF Chronicle pics were actually from Afghanistan in 2021.
BBC Verify: Grok lied.

All people residing in the U.S. — documented or undocumented — are supposed to have access to the courts and due process.
The Trump regime arresting Judge Hannah Dugan for defending those rights puts us in very dangerous territory.

Trump’s DOJ has revoked funding for nearly 400 nonprofits, including organizations that:
-Advocate for non-English speaking crime victims
-Support victims of child abuse, hate crimes, and human trafficking
-Work to reduce school shootings

At least two of the 365 grants have since been restored. Nonprofits call it a "devastating blow."

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.
YALL, THE TITLE!!

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
