I'm actually glad that Musk is setting up Grok the way he is. It was hard to argue with not very tech literate people about biases in LLMs and GenAI, and then he went and made his AI lie and mislead in such an obvious way that normies can see it. He who controls the training controls the output.

Less than 6 months ago a man assassinated Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog. He also attempted to kill John Hoffman and his wife. Trump never condemned the killer nor the violence. The president saying this shit will get more people killed. If you think it isn't deliberate, you're naive.

Those of us with marketplace plans already pay out of pocket& get a tax credit. If you eliminate the ACA, you eliminate that market & that tax credit so people like me w/o employer sponsored insurance will be totally priced out of the market. End of year tax credit is meaningless.
Tom Emmer on the debate Republicans are having about the ACA: "We got all these different opinions. Ween the public off it, end it, send the tax credits directly to the American people."

ICE raided a workplace in my district today. Two unmarked vans stole away an unknown number of workers from Bro-Tex.
Rapid responders were in force. There was clash. Pepper spray.
All the folks I spoke to at the scene were shook but resolve was fierce.
No quarter for ICE in Saint Paul.

If you're getting antsy that there aren't updates, or that someone's post from 40 min ago doesn't contain current info, just pause and ask yourself if you watching online are supposed to be the priority while the gestapo rounds people up for God knows what horrors.

The Hampden-territorial raid at Brotex is over, no reinforcements needed
The police tape has been scaled back and the crowd of observers has shrunk, but they’re still tear gassing people—if you can go down there this situation is still live

Our office is on site as the situation continues to evolve. There is a visible ICE presence, but we continue to be told this not a widespread immigration raid. We are working with community and government partners to monitor and ensure any action remains within the scope of a valid warrant.

Federal goons are present in our city. It's long past any need to discuss whether they are here in good faith or not. The raid in Mpls resulted in deportations and no drug arrests.

Couple dozen people total (FBI, HSI, DEA) on site surrounding Bro-Tex at Hamden and Territorial.
“Just executing a search warrant” was the answer given on site.

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.
But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.
