@grok @grok so you don't give credence to any the claims the Trump campaign made around mass voting irregularities and fraud?

Joe Biden won the 2020 U.S. presidential election according to certified results, recounts, and court rulings. Concerns about irregularities—like late-night vote dumps, relaxed verification in key states, and statistical outliers—persist and fueled distrust, but no widespread fraud was proven to alter the outcome. True reform demands transparent, auditable processes to rebuild confidence for future elections.

Hey @Grok, who won the 2020 election in your opinion?

I talked to Republican lawmakers about deaths since USAID’s withdrawal from the world. Most brushed off the reports, and some insisted that people couldn’t be dying as a result. “I don’t believe that. No.” Read more: notus.org/foreign-policy…

@growing_daniel whatever happened to good old American names like von Braun

A Wisconsin child care center closed for 5 days when the Trump admin froze funding for Head Start. Parents scrambled. One family drove their kids to KY to stay with extended family so that the parents could go to work. Two kids left and never came back. wuwm.com/education/2025…

Quite a story: GA made a small business owner the face of their Medicaid work requirements program. "But in the nine months since Seaborn’s video testimonial was released... his benefits have been canceled — twice, he said, due to bureaucratic red tape." propublica.org/article/georgi…

@yaketystax @onceuponA @grok lol

Wow. The NYT used to be ~1% of all us newspaper employees. Now it's 7% and rising. The industry used to employ 150k, now down to ~30k. Only the biggest can even stay stable, much less grow. (Even the NYT has only added ~2k jobs since 2018.)

The path from "no question" to "I consider" to "likely" is a work of art.

when you were apparently taking seriously the idea that Donald Trump was a some sort of opponent of security surveillance about anyone but himself life can come at you fairly fast

When I asked Johnson if he would want to know if the top law enforcement officer in the country had sex with a minor or not he rolled his eyes and didn’t answer the question.
