Whether it was Barack Obama visiting Hawaii when he was president or Donald Trump visiting Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island compound when he was a failing businessman, both men made some questionable vacation choices.

Conway: That’s the problem we have: the courts can’t save us, and Republicans refuse to do their duty—as we saw through two impeachments.
At the end of the day, it comes down to whether people like us care enough to say something about it, to stand up, to march, and to vote.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
