How many can afford a cruise right now, much less those smart glasses, unless you are a beta tester?
I get where this is coming from, but I've also been testing out a pair of display glasses (basically create a giant monitor in the glasses) that *don't record* but do have little cameras on the side in order to pin the monitor to a specific spot. I worry if I used them in public I'd get yelled at

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.
Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal
The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...

In 2025, Venezuelans became a key target of Trump’s mass deportations.

Our documentary “Status: Venezuelan” follows a family trying to hold on to their legal status as they struggle to decide whether to fight for the life they have built or leave everything behind.

Trump is a dying husk shambling through his presidency.

But he makes an ideal puppet for the wealthy because of his susceptibility to flattery and bribery, his instinct to crush innocent people, his laziness, and lack of loyalty to anything or anyone.

One of the prevailing worries for years was that with misinformation or deepfakes or AI videos people wouldn’t be able to tell what was real and what was altered.

But what got missed was the larger problem: that people wanted and needed to believe the lies being fed to them.

Thank you RFK Jr. and all the antivaxer patriots. Measles cases in the United States are the highest they’ve been since the country eliminated the disease in 2000.
For the past 25 years, measles has been considered eliminated in the U.S. because it has not continuously spread over a yearlong period

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

The time for bipartisanship is gone fellow democrats. To fight this fire, we need to fight with facts! The party that defends Trumpf's actions with, "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever we say bounces off us and sticks to you" is over. The GOP are not a political party, they are a cult!

Omaha residents face a hidden danger: the lead in their yards.

The Trump administration’s new guidance on high levels of the toxic metal in soil has put tens of thousands of properties in limbo.

The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.
