Doocy: The judge wants to know why the proclamation was signed in the dark

Trump: I don’t know when it was signed. I didn’t sign it. Other people handled it.

Reminder: in 2011 Judge Boasberg was confirmed by 96 Senators (4 didn’t vote) inc. Graham, Grassley, Coryn, Paul, Collins, Mike Lee, Rubio, McConnell and Majority Leader John Thune. Apparently they forgot how they voted.

Lutnick ran Cantor Fitzgerald in TT on 9/11. 658 employees died. Lutnick personally pocketed huge chunk of American Airlines settlement. Dude has so much empathy
Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

“The decision to remove the enormous mural near the White House comes after a U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., introduced legislation earlier this week that gave D.C. an ultimatum: either paint over the slogan or risk losing federal funding.”

This is Andrew Clyde, without his white hood.

"Evidence suggests that the Russians are using American satellite imagery to target Ukraine in long-range strikes. At the same time that Ukrainians are cutoff from even commercial US satellite imagery such as Maxar (by the way, f*ck you Maxar)."

Me being a broken record on this: Don't trust consumer-facing "AI" for anything.
A federal judge in Wyoming received a motion citing nine cases. Of the nine, eight don't exist.

When she demanded an explanation, the lawyers said their "artificial intelligence platform ‘hallucinated’ the cases in question."

Lawyers Caught Citing AI-Hallucinated Cases Say It’s a ‘Cautionary Tale’ For All Law Firms
The attorneys filed court documents referencing eight non-existent cases, then admitted it was a "hallucination" by an AI tool.

NEW -- Elon Musk claimed to know the net worths of federal employees during an Oval Office visit yesterday.

Not salaries. Net worths.

Now how exactly did he get his hands on that information?

The White House won't say.

RFK Jr.: Medicaid is not working.

Fact check: 83% of Medicaid enrollees rate the overall performance of Medicaid positively, and Medicaid enrollees report fewer cost-related problems relative to those with Marketplace coverage and ESI.

Rfk has no understanding about the funding and delivery of government health care services. He’s pathetically ignorant and unfit.
