Thank you for all the good wishes as we settle into life as a family of six. 🩵

Meet Alec — and enjoy these attempts at taking a decent family photo with four kids!

@POTUS @DonaldTrump NO community, and I mean NONE of them are begging for data centers. We don't want them near our farms, water, supply, children, or livestock.

With my full chest I am telling you this. Stop it.

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

Which schedule would you rather have?

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

Absolutely not!

[Julian Mille☈ @ATLAreaWx]

This will be such a nightmare.

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

Yep. Needs to be changed to Permanent Standard Time NOT Daylight Savings.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

America already made daylight saving time permanent once. In December 1973, 79% of Americans supported it and Nixon signed it into law. By February 1974, eight weeks into the experiment, support had collapsed to 42%. The policy never changed. Winter arrived.

Sunrise in Washington DC came at 8:27am. Kids left for school in total darkness, carrying flashlights and wearing reflective tape. When Congress moved to repeal, members cited the deaths of eight Florida schoolchildren in the first weeks of the change.

The energy case collapsed too. The whole point was the oil embargo, and the Department of Transportation concluded the fuel savings were too small to matter. Ten months after signing it, Congress repealed it and Ford put the country back on standard time.

There's a mechanism that makes this cycle repeat: permanent DST is only ever voted on when the sun is up. Polls run in the abstract, votes happen in warm months, and the benefit, a free hour of evening light, is easy to imagine year-round. The cost is concentrated in about 10 weeks of dark winter mornings and only becomes real after implementation. So the policy polls beautifully right up until January.

Today's vote happened in July. The 1974 law passed in December, right before the exact winter that killed it. If this clears the Senate, the first real test arrives in January 2027, when sunrise in Indianapolis comes after 9am.

Sleep researchers have watched this loop for 50 years, which is why the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the AMA, and the National Sleep Foundation all back the opposite reform, permanent standard time. Congress just picked the one version of clock reform America has already tried, hated, and repealed.

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

@JDVance But currently interest rates and inflated home values are still there. Its hurting my real estate friends too. Its not enough to ban the investors. Help the American People!!

@Suzierizzo1 The X account of Amanda Uguaro has ZERO tweets as of 8:02am EST.

@Playerinthgame Sam Altman gaslighting us after his AI product did seems to be on-brand.

[Silicon Valley Fodder @Playerinthgame]

The guy on the bottom is Husk and he’s funny af. But also smarter than Altman gives anyone credit for. Altman pretends it’s the functionality Husk is questioning. It’s not. It’s GPT’s own inability to determine that it’s effectively lying.

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

And this one. Absolutely brilliant in its simple demonstration. Humans >AI

[Humanbydesign @Humanbydesign3]

Pretty interesting stuff when it comes to #AI. He can be caught in a lie.
Credit TT huskistaken👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

His account is suspended on X...and I can see why. He's exposing the many limitations and all out gaslighting of open AI. He's on Instagram thought. @husk.irl. AI can't even count to 65 and my mortgage company ROCKET MORTGAGE is using this for customer service. Stop.

[Meidas_Charise Lee @charise_lee]

@huskistaken single-handedly exposing AI on the daily‼️

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

@todddonatello And you're right, no problem with Mr. Cooper. If interest rates weren't absolutely ridiculous, I'd refinance with my credit union.

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

Using AI for customer service is the absolute wrong application. When I am frustrated & need answers,I don't want to talk to a robot. I WANT TO TALK TO AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING. You can't be that busy. #rocketmortgage

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

@todddonatello Nope. Never did. Every time I call, they are extremely busy so I should talk to the AI robot. Still can't add a bank account to my account either. Its the crappy AI customer no-service and a website that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Americans are suffering. It is way too expensive just to live for most families. Our cities aren’t safe. Our country is being transformed every day by foreign migration. Our elections aren’t secure. The SAVE act was not passed and won’t be passed. It’s time to end this war in Iran and focus on our country, our people, our future. Far too much of Trump’s second term has been spent on foreign adventures. It has to end. Turn the attention back home.

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

My mother got this protocol and the blood clots. But she survived. She's never fully recovered though.

[Dr. Dawn Michael @DawnsMission]

My husband was given Remdesivir and died on day 9 — exactly as Dr. Bryan Ardis warned. Every COVID patient in that hospital died from Remdesivir or blood clots. I was the only survivor. It has a 53% kill rate. Fauci & the NIH caused millions of deaths.

[Robert Davi @RobertJohnDavi]

Can someone explain to me what happened to drill Baby Drill !!!! Arent the oil spickets open !!!

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

@Gangbusta187 @bennyjohnson Also, the lighting. He has a glow of warm light coming from his left. And the over head lighting seems to have no effect.

[Kalshi @Kalshi]

JUST IN: Average US gas prices back above $3.20

[Connie Jo The Red @ConnieJoTheRed1]

Someone please explain it to me like I'm 5 why gas went from $3.09 yesterday to $3.19 today. Can't be Epic Fury. We don't get our oil from Iran. Aren't we oil independent again with Trump?
