Hegseth wants to inject more religion into the U.S. military, starting with his favorite Bible verse: no fatties, no beardos, no wimps, no weirdos

In a new experiment, nearly half the people on a video call thought they were speaking to a human. They weren't. It was a new AI model.

That is INSANE.

Does anyone in America think it is a good idea to race forward to build machines that replace us?

PAUSE AI NOW.

Gandhi has profoundly affected my life and I've studied his principles of Satyagraha, adherence to truth and nonviolent resistance.

Today, on Gandhi Jayanti, let us celebrate Gandhiji and continue to fight nonviolently for the freedom of the least amongst us — for ALL of us.

NEW: The U.S. was supposed to spend $40 billion to build internet in rural America, then Elon Musk got a huge chunk of that money redirected to Starlink.

He made hundreds of millions, while countless people still don't have good internet.

We went to Louisiana where kids can't do their homework, schools can't support their students, and businesses struggle without a reliable connection.

Will it actually make any difference if Democrats take control of Congress after the midterms?

Adam Kidan went to federal prison with Jack Abramoff and was ordered to repay $21.7 million. Trump pardoned him in July. His money turned up in eight Republican Senate campaigns. https://t.co/HoKjJutyBz

The Space Shuttle Endeavour mounted on top of a NASA Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft as it flies over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on September 21, 2012...

On September 21, 2012, Space Shuttle Endeavour completed its final journey, soaring across iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge before heading to its permanent home in Los Angeles.

Over the course of its retirement tour, Endeavour flew low over cities across California, giving millions of people one last chance to witness a space shuttle in the skies.

Endeavour had a storied history: it was built in the wake of the Challenger disaster and completed 25 missions between 1992 and 2011, including servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and helping construct the International Space Station. Its retirement marked the end of NASA’s shuttle program, which had run for three decades.

Today, Endeavour is housed at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, where it’s displayed to inspire future generations. A new exhibit is being constructed to show the shuttle in a full “ready-to-launch” vertical stack, complete with external tank and boosters, the only one of its kind in the world.

During its final flyover, traffic stopped on the Golden Gate Bridge as drivers pulled over to watch Endeavour pass overhead.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible.

When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit.

When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power.

When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

What a cowardly thing to say. “Stupid?” It was “stupid” for Don Jr to have a Russian oligarch pay for his big wedding party? That’s what you call it? How about corrupt? How about dangerous? How about the Trump family is working with Putin? How about Jr knew exactly what he was doing and his daddy is a Russian asset? Come on Senator.

The Trump government will not regulate AI. The AI guys won’t regulate themselves. It’s up to us to hire people in November who will do what needs to be done.

Sen. Susan Collins says she was “totally cleared” of pay-to-play allegations by the FBI years ago.

But FBI records show that agents remained interested in her office in early 2025, right up until the anti-corruption unit was gutted by Trump.

“BRING MY ID!” A CITIZEN SCREAMS. ICE HAVE NO INTEREST IN ID. ICE WANT TO PUNISH ANY BROWN-SKINNED PERSON ON AMERICAN SOIL.

All they had to do was look at his ID.

People need to understand their rights before an encounter becomes a nightmare. https://t.co/du9bv2TwAq helps citizens and immigrants prepare for illegal ICE encounters and understand their options afterward. It’s free and funded entirely by donations. Help keep that knowledge accessible to everyone: [https://t.co/PR7n7ez2En](https://t.co/PR7n7ez2En)

What justified this detention? What justified this level of force? The public deserves evidence and an explanation. “Immigration enforcement” should never be a phrase that shuts down scrutiny of government violence.

A badge is not an excuse. A person on the pavement is still a human being.

Record safely. Preserve the evidence. Demand accountability. Know your rights: [https://t.co/1jbDdp5uRP](https://t.co/1jbDdp5uRP)

Billionaires, power and appeasement.

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

Xi Jinping came to Washington to take Donald Trump’s measure.

Trump showed him billionaires, fighter jets and television courtiers.

Xi was looking at something else: American power — and American weakness.

The White House isn’t his.

The military isn’t his.

The government isn’t his.

The country isn’t his.

Donald Trump accepted a public trust and betrayed it.
