NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Ahead of Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, in which investors will likely approve a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk, some rascal was projecting this on the side of its vehicle distribution center in West Los Angeles

He's "confident" this time, folks!
Huge applause at the Tesla shareholder meeting when Musk says Tesla Full Self-Driving users will be permitted to text and drive soon: "I'm confident that in the next month or two, we're going to look closely at the safety statistics, but we will allow you to text and drive, essentially."

One thing that's important to keep top of mind is that they did this on purpose. The economy was humming, unemployment was at a near-all-time low, and the people running this country went NOPE, CAN'T HAVE THAT.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …

"It has really become a prison."
DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."

She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.
