[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

I cross referenced the Epstein files with the White House ballroom donors and found at least 1/3 overlapped with the Epstein network.

So here’s the real question:

What happens when someone cross references the Epstein files with CURRENT elected officials and their families?

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.

a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.

the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.

he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.

Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.

GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.

Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.

Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.

then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."

GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.

then he splits the users by income.

Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.

18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.

so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.

it isn't recommending the best option for you.

it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

Julie K. Brown wins a Pulitzer special citation for exposing Epstein’s systematic abuse, the justice system that protected him, and the network around him. Her reporting broke the story open years ago, which is still unfolding today.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Google’s Data Center in New Albany, Ohio uses 387,000 gallons per day. That’s over 141 million gallons per year

“What happens to that water? It gets generated with a lot of forever chemicals in it, and we the EPA does not have the equipment to actually clean that out”

It’s true standard municipal wastewater treatment plants often struggle with PFAS because these chemicals don’t break down easily and require specialized, expensive removal technology

[💕 Brittany Belle 💕 @BrittanyinTexas]

A lot of folks forget… Texas hasn’t always been red. 🤠

When Democrat Ann Richards was governor, Texas ranked 7th in education.

After nearly 30 years of Republican control, Texas now ranks 40th overall in education & 47th in reading.

It’s past time for a change. 🌊

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

ICE is running a for profit industry and locking up people like Texas court interpreter Meenu Batra, DACA recipient Juan Velasco, and Doctor Ezequiel Véliz. We've seen ICE detain, deport, and kill U.S. citizens.

I am voting NO on the shutdown deal. ICE does not deserve another taxpayer dollar.

[James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn]

Doesn’t seem like an administration very focused on the issues facing the American people, if you ask me.

[Henry VIII @SussexHenryVIII]

Trump praised Allah on Easter and threatened the Pope with violence if he did not fall in line.

Legacy media is silent.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Thomas Massie says the DOJ deleted key Epstein Files before it could expose Israel and Mossad.
We told you Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad awhile back. No one believed us. 🤷‍♂️
Anyway :P

[Nicholas Nehamas @NickNehamas]

Exclusive: The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who blocked the deportations of Rumeysa Ozturk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two int'l students who expressed pro-Palestinian views. Four other judges were fired on Friday too.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

Kansas Republicans pass law making it illegal to stand "too close" to ICE—6 months in jail for first offense.

Agents have complete control to decide if they feel "uncomfortable" or "distracted"—then they can arrest anyone within 25 feet.

MAGA want to stop people filming ICE so badly—legislators overrode Democratic Governor Laura Kelly’s veto.

The Kansas "Halo Act" also removes barriers to local sheriffs cooperating with ICE raids.

The law takes effect on July 1, 2026.

She didn’t know them. She wasn’t their friend.

[Dan Osborn @osbornforne]

Before Citizens United, billionaires spent around $16 million on presidential elections. In 2024, they spent $2.6 BILLION.

And what did they get for that money? They got a MASSIVE tax cut for themselves.

[Dittie @DittiePE]

Annie Farmer was 16 when she reported being sexually abused by Epstein at Zorro Ranch in 1996. The U.S. Attorney who should have investigated never opened a case.

Newly unearthed federal documents reveal why: he was Epstein’s own Power of Attorney for the ranch purchase.

I don’t give a FUCK about anyone’s opinion on immigration at this point. THIS IS INHUMANE. THIS IS WRONG. PERIOD. THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY TO JUSTIFY THIS TREATMENT. THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS. THEIR LIVES MATTER. Fuck ANYONE who supports this.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him

Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in https://t.co/YMB9wYDp6r

[Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets]

The Everglades ICE facility needs to be shut down immediately.

1500 people kept in cages, it reeks of urine and food is weeks old. Most people there have no criminal histories, and I was blocked from speaking with detainees.

[Boston Smalls @smalls2672]

Former U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico John J. Kelly was Epstein's personal Power of Attorney on Zorro Ranch matters. This has never been publicly disclosed until now.
