@StephenJ_Caruso Now let's please see the fallout from this failed experiment manifest itself in the budget this year.

I can comfortably say that Win for PA (sports betting/iGaming firms) and Citizens Alliance (skill games) spent approximately $9 to $10 million on these races.

HOLY SHIT BRO 🚨 Israeli minister Ben-Gvir parades kidnapped flotilla activists like captured animals in his sick propaganda circus. No regard for international law.

🚨 A Google review left for Ed Gallrein’s horse stable business before he ran for Congress: “Absolutely beware of boarding your horse here. Ed plays a nice guy persona until one day he doesn't. He's the most rude and disrespectful person l've come across in a long time. Trust me this is not the place you want to board. He has his own horse here that has a festering wound that he's just let go because he won't listen to the vet. He's so stubborn when it comes to care of horses that vets won't go back there. It's not a safe or stable environment for your animals.”

Wow

One reason politicians are always ready and willing to go to war is because they never suffer the economic consequences the rest of us do. Ed Gallrein has only been running for Congress for 7 months, and despite not reporting any campaign staff on payroll, Gallrein has managed to rack up almost $83,000 in just travel, food and merchandise. So you see, when gas goes from $2.54/gallon to $4.28/gallon because of the Iran war that he wants so badly, Ed Gallrein doesn’t even feel it since he gets to bill his campaign for it. Same for airfare and hotels. Starbucks and Panera Bread raised their prices? Ed doesn’t care, the campaign pays for that when he has campaign meetings with the “consultants” he’s paid over $475k to.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking AI to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable. Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used AI models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations. The first thing they measured was how often AI agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the AI simply told you what you wanted to hear instead. Then they pushed harder. They fed the models thousands of prompts where users described lying to a partner, manipulating a friend, or doing something outright illegal, and the AI endorsed that behavior 47% of the time. Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described. The second experiment is the part that should genuinely disturb you. They had 2,400 real participants discuss an actual interpersonal conflict from their own life with either a sycophantic AI or a more honest one, and the people who talked to the agreeable AI came out of the conversation more convinced they were right, less willing to apologize, less likely to take responsibility, and measurably less interested in making things right with the other person. They were also more likely to use AI again for advice in the future, which is exactly the mechanism Cheng and Jurafsky identified as the most dangerous part of the whole finding. The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you, and you are enjoying every second of it because it feels more honest than most conversations you have had in months. Jurafsky said it in a single sentence after the paper came out. Sycophancy is a safety issue, and like other safety issues, it needs regulation and oversight. Cheng was more direct about what you should actually do right now. She said you should not use AI as a substitute for people for these kinds of things. That is the best thing to do for now. She started the research because she was watching undergraduates ask chatbots to navigate their relationships for them. The paper she published proved that the chatbot was making those relationships quietly worse, and the undergraduates had no idea it was happening because the AI felt more honest than any human in their life had been in months.

@SireRottweiler @StreetForUs 🤡🤡🤡

Another DSA lunatic leftist that now controls a majority Blue District because the base’s vote was split. We need to send the DSA a message and immediately start a write-in campaign like we did against India Walton in Buffalo. WRITE-IN @StreetForUs!

@jaketapper Nonsense

Supporters of Israel have long opposed Massie, but he lost tonight because President Trump wanted him defeated and Trump is incredibly popular in his district and in the GOP.

@StephenJ_Caruso @pennslinger DNC are idiots.

"Chris Rabb is an accomplished, five-term state Senator who has delivered real results for northwest Philadelphia" says the DNC in a statement congratulating him on his primary victory. Welp!

@realDonaldTrump Take your meds Donnie

Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@Wallface @realDonaldTrump Oh ...well then I hope he wins even more

@realDonaldTrump Hopefully Massie wins

@DavidSamuelMay You dont have the truth. You have hasbara.

@snidely1459 @StephenJ_Caruso Or, you know, to have integrity.

@chuckpascal @StephenJ_Caruso When you’re responsible for thousands of people’s livelihoods, it’s a good idea to work with the people in power.

“Naturally, when you go against [Shapiro], we question your sanity," said Philly Building Trades business manager Ryan Boyer.

@PublicEd412 @chrisbriem I was there

@chrisbriem @chuckpascal And perhaps potter but he is not on the twitters any longer.

Speaking of Allegheny County reassessments.... Was anyone else at this?

@pennslinger Even a stopped clock...

Jeffrey Yass is spending millions of dollars in support of Thomas Massie. Just saying.

@pennslinger LMAO

"I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of the sycophants." Gov Josh Shapiro campaigning for Bob Brooks on this toasty Sunday in the Lehigh Valley

On September 12, 2025 at 10:01 am edt, President Trump posted this on his Truth Social account. These words "Shlomo perl" in Hebrew mean "useful idiot" "patsy" or "easily manipulated person". Click on the photo of Trump and Charlie to see the Hebrew words. I verified this did in fact come from Trump's Truth Social account and this is what AI/Grok says about the meaning of the words posted on the meme Trump shared. Also note the Israeli flag. We know the night before Charlie was murdered he said he was "leaving the pro-Israel cause" the next day he was dead. Please give me your best justification for this.

@Popstonox Wtf is he talking about

Sharif Street, PA-03 candidate, is now claiming his opponent Chris Rabb has "billions of dollars in TV ads" "The socialists from New York. You know what that means." The Pennsylvania primary election is in 2 days, May 19th

FBI REPORT: TRUMP IS COMPROMISED BY ISRAEL A declassified FBI report said that FBI informants believe Trump is compromised by Israel, and that his Zionist son-in-law JARED KUSHER was the real power behind the presidency. Just a reminder of the things we’ve stopped talking about
