Sarah Huckabee Sanders just told The View that Arkansas’s minimum wage is “about $15 an hour.”
It’s $11.
Someone should probably tell the governor of Arkansas.
Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦‼️ GARRY KASPAROV ACCUSES TRUMP’S INNER CIRCLE OF BEING PAID TO ADVANCE KREMLIN INTERESTS, TARGETING KUSHNER AND WITKOFF!
Russian opposition figure and former world chess champion Garry Kasparov has sharply criticized Jared Kushner’s proposal concerning European security, comparing it to the demands Moscow presented to the West in late 2021.
“Jared Kushner’s proposal on European security is nothing more than a translation of the ultimatum issued by the Kremlin at the end of 2021. It is clear why. Money has changed hands. This entire Trump circle, including Kushner and Witkoff, was being paid.”
Kasparov also accused Trump’s associates of attempting to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before the incoming Congress could scrutinize their activities.
“Now they are desperately trying to get things done and put pressure on Zelenskyy before the new Congress turns its attention to them.
I am eagerly awaiting the moment when Kushner and Witkoff begin explaining the details of their negotiations with Putin before Congress.”
🔥 Kasparov’s accusations reflect deep concerns among some Russian opposition figures about the direction of U.S. negotiations with Moscow.
His allegations of financial payments and corruption are serious but remain unsubstantiated by evidence presented in these remarks.
The central issue is whether any proposed European security arrangement would protect Ukraine’s sovereignty or accommodate Russia’s longstanding demands for restrictions on NATO and European security policy.

“For everybody, there is an appalling sense that Kushner & Witkoff don’t know what they’re looking at,” said @AmbDanFried. “Anyone could have told them that talking about postwar European security architecture is a Kremlin talking point.” https://t.co/wiA9WUKVRx
So we've had LLMs for a few years now, right?
Where's the big thing they've done? Where's the cancer cure? Where's the unlimited abundance?
Honestly, can someone show me one great thing LLMs have done for society?
I just received this response, intriguing.

Interesting.
Susie Wiles is no fool, but she is known for having ties to the Russian Federation.
I’m inclined to believe that she expected a strong performance for the Republicans in the midterms—
because her Russian partners had promised to make that happen.
But Ukraine, in response to strikes on its own data centers, torched theirs—and the whole plan went down the drain.
The word is out about the Election Night Watch Party at the White House on Tuesday.
For weeks, Trump had been assured by Susie Wiles and his staff that all the polls were wrong, and that, once again, the Blue Wave would only be a ripple, if one even showed up at all. And the DOJ was ready to pounce on it if it did.
Trump, after all, was on the ballot. "Vote like I'm on the ballot,' he said, "Because I am."
He told every rally that. He said it on FOX. He had a 90% approval rate, he said. And $5000 checks for everybody. What could possibly go wrong?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
So the East Room was decked out with the finest crystal and china. Staffers thought it would be a fun "cheeky rebuke" to order in platters of finger food from Cheesecake Factory. Just to give a finger to Barack Obama, for his viral joke about Trump’s gaudy renovations to the White House.
EVERYONE showed up in their party clothes. His Staff. His Cabinet. Top GOP politicians. Donors.
But there was no Host or Hostess to greet them. Which was a little odd. The guests mingled among themselves, and waited to be formally welcomed and invited to sample the refreshments.
Where were Trump and Melania?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Trump waited upstairs in his residence, in order to make a grand entrance to a standing ovation with cheers, once the happy results started pouring in.
And was Melania also waiting upstairs, to march in at his side?
Nope.
Melania was not at the White House at all. On election night, the most anticipated night in politics, with the rest of her husband's term on the line, Melania was somewhere else.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Finally at 8:00 the first election results came in. But during that entire first hour, not ONE Republican was named. It was only Democrat after Democrat, starting with Jon Ossoff.
Trump never came downstairs. At all.
Marco Rubio was the first to go missing, according to the Daily Mail. Then, one by one, the rest of the party goers slipped out the door.
Only two hours later, an enormous decision was called. Democrats had flipped the House of Representatives to their control. And in most cases, the Democrats won, not by slim majorities, but by double digits.
It was 10:00, and the East Room was empty. The party goers had gone to a nearby Washington bar to drown their sorrows. The Cheesecake Factory food lay untouched on the East Room tables.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
And Trump? He was upstairs watching the results on FOX News, and posting angrily on Truth Social.
He wasn't alone. No, Melania wasn't with him. But Natalie Harp was.
The Daily Mail reports that Susie Wiles, his Chief of Staff was upstairs as well. The one who had assured him day after day that Republicans would win.
By 11 pm, Trump stopped posting. “He’s watching Fox News barely uttering a word and paralyzed into silence,” a source close to the president told the Daily Mail.
“It’s very, very dark in the residence,” one senior official said of Trump’s mood. “It’s a dark scene.”
Another source said, “They were delusional right until the very end.”
