I love watching people use LLMs in public. Theyโ€™ll reply to a breaking news article and say โ€œ@grok is this true?โ€ Babe where do you think itโ€™s about to pull its answer from

I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.

And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.

I've got laryngitis so I'm not on TV today. but if I was, I'd remind everybody that mass deportation *remains* family separation, whether Noem or Mullin or anyone else is Trump's DHS Secretary. and that policy has not changed.

Let me be clear: Iโ€™m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

As I understand things, now we're allowed to ask about the redacted and suppressed Epstein Files, right?

One was a gas pump attendant, then employee at a cable factory who wanted to raise cattle (and did so for several years in retirement before his death). The other was an engineer.

Senate Republicans just blocked a resolution to force Trump to end his immoral, unconstitutional war on Iran.

John Fetterman voted with Republicans, and Rand Paul voted with Democrats.

2018 Texas primary turnout: Once again, Republicans outvoted Democrats Vote counts Tuesday night once again showed how Texas is a red state. Despite an apparent early rush to the polls for Democrats, Republicans ended up casting more ballots in the 2018 primaries.

Going by the numbers on KXAN's election results page, 2,145,007 Texans voted in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, versus 2,127,326 in the Republican. When was the last time Texas Dems outvoted Republicans in a primary? In *2018*, Rs outvoted D's by 50%!

We had trouble with our polling stations in Texas yesterday. Definitely the GOPs fault, but of course some Dems who lost their primaries are blaming that.

I don't understand why more people on the Dem side won't do early voting. We have shenanigans almost every cycle in Texas on election days.

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

I think the real story in Texas tonight is Republicans have poked a bear. Almost 2 million Democrats voted today in a red, red state. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

It is really hard sometimes to keep the big picture in mind but whereas it was noteworthy that just two people were elected to Congress in 2018 who were openly and hyper critical of Israel, in 2026 it will be more than two dozen.

Voter confusion plagues Texas primary in key county Republicansโ€™ decision to shake up polling locations led to mass confusion in the Texas primary election.

Hundreds of voters showed up at the wrong polling place after the Dallas County GOP forced both parties to abandon countywide vote centers in the March primary.

This is a county-by-county policy; here in Travis county voters can still vote anywhere. But in adjoining GOP-led Williamson County voters are suddenly stuck in just one precinct, and it's causing problems.
