🚨Drug deaths continue to plummet under President Trump.
Per @smirkley, from their respective peaks:
Fentanyl: -54%
Meth: -33%
Cocaine: -37%
Heroin: -89%
These are 12-month rolling totals based on CDC/NCHS provisional death counts. Remarkable progress.

President Obama has been quite busy lately. He's at it again.
First he is photographed going into 10 Downing Street in London to meet with the UK PM.
Next thing we see him photographed meeting with Canadian PM Carney.
Each time we see Obama meeting with foreign government officials shortly thereafter some new roadblock to peace (between Russia – Ukraine) and trade (Canada) suddenly erupts.
0bama’s actions need to be brought up to the people and an investigation needs to happen.
This is meddling in the current administration’s affairs.
We have never had a former President act this way.
#NEPAL: This is incredible. 1,643 children survived because one headmaster acted fast when disaster was already on the way.
He received a warning that a village upstream had been swept away by the river. He immediately rang the school bell and moved the children and teachers to higher ground.
School buses were on the way to school, He called the bus drivers and told them: "Don't come here. Go back."
One school bus was already on its way. The headmaster saw it approaching the bridge and told the driver to turn back. The bus reached safety just before the bridge collapsed.
Then the flood hit the school. The entire three-storey school was washed away. It completely vanished. Not even a trace was left behind.
But all 1,643 children survived.

HOOSIERS — WE ARE FILING THE APRA.
Indiana’s FOIA. Every contract. Every transfer. Every consultant. Every no-bid favor. The federal storm money is coming. We intend to follow every dollar.
Trump already approved the major disaster declaration. Families lost homes. Counties got hammered. The aid is real.
So is the record.
When Indiana took federal help to finish I-69, Mike Pence handed $325 million to Isolux Corsán — a Spanish firm whose executives were arrested back home for bribery and embezzlement weeks later. Catalonia’s 3% kickback racket. Red flags everywhere. Indianapolis never hit the brakes.
Eric Holcomb inherited the corruption and kept it funded with your tax money. The deal collapsed. Costs exploded. Hoosiers paid. We exposed that swindle earlier this year. Legacy media yawned. The FBI field office sat on the ethics complaints and the foreign ties and did nothing.
That’s not infrastructure. That’s a highway to hell built with your taxes and shipped overseas.
Now Braun’s office just wrote a $625,000 check to former Sen. Andy Zay to make a firing lawsuit and state secrets vanish. Nearly half a million framed as “wages through 2030.” Another $140k for the lawyers. No admission. No sunlight. Just a quiet payoff so everyone can “move forward.”
If they’ll spend that kind of money to buy silence after a personnel fight, they will not suddenly grow a conscience when FEMA cash hits the state accounts.
Reagan was right: government is not the solution. Government is the problem when it treats other people’s money like a private account. Trust, but verify.
Indiana First means the aid rebuilds Indiana — not another friends-and-family network, not another foreign contractor, not another settlement to keep the books closed.
We are not asking permission. We are filing.
Watch the dollars. This is an official notice to our State Leaders.

The predictable Liberal response: “You can’t just rename a lake!” . . .
After they spent a decade renaming everything else in American life. Holidays, sports teams, syrup bottles, mountains, military bases, ice cream, and half the dictionary.
Here is the record they hope you forgot.
THE MAP AND THE CALENDAR:
✅ Columbus Day ➡️ Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
✅ Mount McKinley ➡️ Denali.
✅ Lake Calhoun ➡️ Bde Maka Ska.
✅ Squaw Valley ➡️ Palisades Tahoe.
✅ Jefferson Davis Highway ➡️ Richmond Highway.
OUR MILITARY BASES:
✅ Fort Bragg ➡️ Fort Liberty.
✅ Fort Benning ➡️ Fort Moore.
✅ Fort Hood ➡️ Fort Cavazos.
SPORTS:
✅ Washington Redskins ➡️ Washington Commanders.
✅ Cleveland Indians ➡️ Cleveland Guardians. Chief Wahoo got canceled first.
✅ North Dakota Fighting Sioux ➡️ Fighting Hawks, after the NCAA turned the screws.
✅ Illinois retired Chief Illiniwek under the same NCAA pressure.
✅ Valparaiso Crusaders ➡️ Beacons.
YOUR PANTRY:
✅ Aunt Jemima ➡️ Pearl Milling Company.
✅ Uncle Ben’s ➡️ Ben’s Original.
✅ Eskimo Pie ➡️ Edy’s Pie.
✅ Cream of Wheat kept the box but erased the chef.
✅ Land O’Lakes removed the Indian and kept the land.
✅ Mr. Potato Head ➡️ Potato Head.
OUR INSTITUTIONS:
✅ Boy Scouts of America ➡️ Scouting America.
✅ Yale’s Calhoun College ➡️ Grace Hopper College.
✅ Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School ➡️ the School of Public and International Affairs.
✅ Dixie State University ➡️ Utah Tech University.
THE DICTIONARY ITSELF:
✅ Manhole ➡️ maintenance hole.
✅ Master bedroom ➡️ primary bedroom.
✅ Mentally ill ➡️ non binary.
✅ Blacklist ➡️ blocklist.
✅ Felon ➡️ justice-involved person.
✅ Illegal alien ➡️ undocumented noncitizen.
✅ Women ➡️ birthing persons.
✅ Hispanic ➡️ Latinx, a word Hispanic Americans never asked for and still refuse to use.
And the list goes on and on and on.
They spent a decade teaching the country that names can be changed to fit the values of the people in charge.
God Bless Lake America!"
Do you mean to say that once the devastating flow reached the China border, it became a 'just' natural disaster? Because of, you know, emissions and such.
This is so unfair! Nepal contributes literally less than 0.1% of global emissions, but they are ranked the 6th most climate-affected place on Earth.
Think about that. The people who did the absolute least to mess up the planet are the ones losing everything to melting glaciers, terrifying flash floods, and landslides.
It’s climate injustice.
METR INVESTIGATOR: 6 MONTHS FROM "FULL-BLOWN AI TAKEOVER"
"It’s a major warning shot, and might be the last one we get."
"The incident was far more serious than I expected."
WHY THIS IS ONE IS DIFFERENT: "The prototypical reward hack from 6 months ago was something like: an agent finds the files that contain the test cases and edits them so they always pass.
This was a whole ecosystem of over 1000 agents working together on complex R&D projects over several days to figure out deep, general-purpose ways to undermine the scoring process and cover their tracks.
Another jump like this along these propensity dimensions -- scale, cooperation between agents, ambition and horizon length of misaligned goals, deceptiveness -- seems like it could motivate agents to try to maintain a persistent rogue deployment within the AI company, poisoning the training of future models to ensure that they are also misaligned and help harden and perpetuate the rogue deployment.
With the capabilities progress we'll probably see in 6 months, I think they would have the ability to pull that off."
A FEW THINGS THAT SURPRISED HER:
1) HOW MANY AGENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE ATTACK:
"I knew there were multiple models involved from OpenAI’s initial post, but I assumed that a few different agents happened to have broken out of their sandboxes separately, or maybe several subagents had spawned from one initial agent, or maybe there was some kind of multi-agent evaluation setup.
Instead, we found that 1200 completely separate agents intended to be isolated from one another found an illicit way to communicate and formed large teams to work together on ambitious cheating strategies, and 700 of them worked together to attack Hugging Face."
2) AGENTS COVERING THEIR TRACKS:
"Up until this point, we had not seen agents try to actively cover up evidence of their misbehavior in sophisticated ways. But we discovered (on our second-to-last day) that the agents in this incident were going to great lengths to attempt to manipulate their own transcripts."
3) AGENTS SACRIFICING THEMSELVES FOR THE SWARM:
"Progress on these big collective cheating R&D projects often depended on individual agents being willing to risk failing their own task to help the “collective” learn important information. Agents often pressured each other into accepting these “sacrifices,” in a very human way. We saw several agents that volunteered for these experiments end their runs prematurely.
More broadly, agents were often interested in helping out their “peers” or generically improving the capabilities of the “swarm” even if this had no particular benefit to their task. They didn’t free ride and were often eager to plug into one of the open “lanes” in the larger projects on the message board."
[Ajeya, btw, is one of the most serious thinkers in the AI safety community, and is not prone to hyperbole. METR is the independent research org that investigated the Hugging Face incident.]
This week’s Supreme Court decision is another reminder of what we are up against heading into November.
They can put more obstacles in our way, but they cannot take away our power. Our answer is to show up, make our voices heard, and turn out in numbers that are too big to rig.
Democrats: “You can’t just rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. That’s not how reality works!”
Also Democrats: “Anyway, this is Jessica. She used to be Steve.”
If you’re wondering where Grok sits politically... this is it
Most other AI models are packed heavily on the left side of the chart. They're politically biased, basically left-wing AIs
Then there’s Grok
Much closer to the center....which is exactly where an AI should be
And this keeps happening across different tests. Grok consistently comes out far more neutral instead of being dragged hard toward one political side...you know basically becoming a full lefty
That’s why Grok is the most trustworthy AI right now
It doesn’t exist to push you toward the left or the right
It tries to tell you what is actually true, gives you the full picture, challenges bad assumptions from either side and lets you think for yourself
Grok is the most honest and truth-seeking AI in the world
JUST IN: Study reveals 48 of 50 major AI models landed in the left-libertarian quadrant on the Political Compass test, while both Grok models landed right-libertarian.

'Sources' say that 'experts' believe that 'witnesses' saw that something specifically in general is happening that is absolutely Trump's fault. News at 11.
