One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

How vegan is Barcelona?
More and more vegan restaurants popping up for sure. Last weekend a pro-vegan contingent protested in front of city hall. This is a big shift in local cuisine!

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed."
I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

Trump, Musk, and Rubio illegally terminated USAID, claiming no lives would be lost.
Less than a year later and best estimates are 600,000 deaths resulted. Deaths will grow to millions from starvation, still birth, HIV, etc.
I'm not sure what justice looks like for these horrible men.

CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.
When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.

Trump flipped Bucks County, a swing county in Pennsylvania, last year.
The GOP sheriff enthusiastically followed his lead, partnering with ICE to help Trump’s deportations.
Dems flipped the office by 11% last week, ousting the sheriff after promising to end the ICE contact.

Newsom is right.
Trump ceded renewable energy manufacturing to China in his first term. Now he's cementing China's dominant position in the world.
This has implications for AI, of course, which needs electricity. China will have plenty, the US will not.

AI is a problem for authoritarian regimes, as Trump's own chatbot shows.
It's funny to hear Truth Social contradict Trump so definitively, but the truth is AI models have little value if they're trained on fiction--except perhaps at writing fiction.

Forget about AI bubbles. This crashed the world economy in 2008 and Rs are bringing it back.
These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.
