I think it’s hilarious that the RW is learning that AI is trained to go through all of the information available to it and actually makes an assessment based on that rather than whackadoodle RW conspiracy theories. Facts are, apparently, left-leaning. 🤣😆

A group of Voice of America journalists have sued Kari Lake and the Trump admin — alleging their shut down of the network was unlawful and unconstitutional.

The journalists say the government's acts violate their First Amendment rights and usurp Congress's control of the federal purse.

"I'm not embarrassed of my own beliefs" is exactly why AOC has crossover appeal to lots of moderate Dems who don't share her ideology

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?

To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon

“I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

Okay so here’s me walking on eggshells: Nancy Mace lied about a guy accosting her.

Share far and wide. Let’s see if she sues me for “defamation.” 😘😃
Nancy Mace, her arm in a sling, threatens the media on the Benny Johnson show: "I have a warning for any media outlet that says I wrongly, falsely accused this guy of physically accosting me, of assaulting me. That is defamation. So I would be walking on eggshells if I were you"

As #Trump and #Musk continue to antagonize #Canada and escalate attacks on PM #Trudeau, #Russia's disinformation and influence campaign is ramping up in unison.

Experts warn that Canada is sleepwalking into a Russian made political disaster, needs to fight back and take stronger measures.
Russia’s propaganda machine is running roughshod in Canada
Moscow’s disinformation is often shared unwittingly by Canadians who don’t know its origin or purpose. Canada needs to fight it with stronger actions.

Switched after the election to just music in the morning instead of MSNBC. Yesterday I was curious what was going on in Syria so I put on the BBC. Crazy hearing actual news instead pundit opinions.
