“When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occassions, he’s like the 12-year old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy.”

BASH: Trump suggested that you happened to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.

HARRIS: Same old tired playbook. Next question, please.

BASH: That's it?

HARRIS: That's it.

X’s Grok AI training has been stopped (for now) in Europe by the Irish data regulator in a court action.

Elon Musk’s platform had forcibly opted EU citizens in to training Grok’s AI without asking.

In court, X called the Irish action “draconian”.

If you aren’t on TikTok, you are missing just how amped The Youths are about Harris. It’s a pretty monumental energy shift.

@MGQ50 Comhgháirdeachas libh beirt. A big celebration.

[Marion McKeone @marionmckeone]

Improved performance from #Biden during almost one hour press conference. Makes determination to keep running clear but seems to open door to possible alternatives - noted he doesn’t think he’s the only candidate who could beat #Trump.

What’s going on with lithium-ion battery prices?

@AngelaRayner 'nuclear' level commitment& grit needed to convince stakeholders that time needed will be repaid. That is conveyed in the early actions.History of governance shows its imp to stay focused on the small decisions and actions as well as big policy matters to have money in the bank
