@wakeupnj We have voted this way forever. Please cite the NJ voting fraud incidents where someone voted illegally as “John Doe” and then the real “John Doe” attempted to vote and couldn’t?
messaging my wife a link containing proof of her husband cheating on her from an anonymous instagram account and then when she clicks on it texting her to let her know she failed the family phishing test and she has to retake my cybersecurity course
🚨 BREAKING: A Black couple showed up to tour an apartment in Queens... and the broker accidentally texted THEM instead of the owner: "Ugh. They are Black."
They'd just moved from Delaware for her new job. Now they're SUING Douglas Elliman, the agent AND the owners.
"It doesn't change the pain. It doesn't take away the pain you caused us that day."
Think about it. They were judged before they even had a chance.
They only found out because she texted the wrong person. Most people never do.
Five months ago, I published a piece on all the self-enrichment, self-dealing, and corruption of the first 15 months of the Trump administration.
The final product astounded me.
What’s happened in the five months is hard to fathom. https://t.co/IhyJPRnKhn
KC Concepcion stands in front of the cameras after every single Cleveland Browns game.
He does it on purpose, and he has a stutter.
Here is what he says about why.
"I want to be a role model for those who are not able to speak in front of large crowds."
Understand what that costs him.
It started when he was small and playing quarterback. He could not get the play out of his mouth in the huddle, and the other kids would stand there and go hurry up, hurry, just say it.
At school it got worse. Here is what he wrote about the way classmates talked to him.
"Why can't you talk normal? Are you dumb or something?"
And here is how he describes the difference.
"Not with me, or even about me. At me."
The school put him in speech classes. Breathing exercises, pronunciation drills.
"Nothing seemed to be working."
Then one year ended and the thing just left. Over a summer it was gone, completely.
School started again and it came back.
"It's been with me ever since."
No teacher stepped in. Nobody at that school helped him with any of it, and he did not know one single person like him to look at and copy.
He had his mother. She told him to keep his chin up and that there was nothing wrong with him.
And he had football, where nobody cared how he talked.
He was born in Rochester, New York, and the family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina when he was three. He went to Julius L. Chambers High School there.
Two years at NC State. Then a year at Texas A&M, where he caught 61 passes for 919 yards and nine touchdowns and ran two punts back for scores.
Cleveland took him in the first round of the draft in April, 24th overall.
And at the scouting combine before that, grown adults on the internet made fun of the way he talked.
Here is what he said back.
"I cannot control this."
He laid all of that out himself, in a letter he wrote to NFL general managers before the draft, published in The Players' Tribune. Here is the line he ended it on.
"Whatever makes you different, that is not the thing holding you back."
Now the part that complicates it. He is a first round pick with a guaranteed contract and a platform most people never get near, and plenty of kids who stutter will never have either. Standing at a podium is not the same as being eleven years old in a classroom.
But he is the one who was eleven in that classroom.
And the kid who could not find a single person like himself to look up to decided the fix for that was to go stand in the light every week, on purpose, and let everybody hear him.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”
Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway.
To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back.
Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.
