The buzz around AI often feels like a child's toy — lots of noise but little substance.

Sad Losers are Unpopular
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are becoming more and more unpopular as the regime enters its second month. People do not like the idea of paving over Gaza or shutting the Dept of Education, and they really hate inflationary high prices for food, gas, and everything in between.
Trump Sides With Putin
Donald Trump went on social media and ripped Ukraine president Zalenskyy as a washed up fraud, who was also a dictator, who invited Russia to invade the county he's been defending the last three years.

Authorities urge calm and emphasize the importance of accurate reporting and understanding.
Insufferable Mania
Elon Musk, skilled loser and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter remained in the spotlight this week. Donald Trump continues his madness-has-overtaken-me cabinet appointments.

A (Dis)Honest Mistake

Local Man Wants to Murder Rivals
The recent appeals court hearing involving former President Donald Trump has sparked intense legal and political debate, as his legal team argues for "absolute immunity" from criminal prosecution while in office.

Despite legal troubles, Trump remains a prominent figure in the 2024 presidential campaign.
Everyone Should Cry for Argentina
Javier Milei, a libertarian, wins Argentina's election with 55.7% votes, defeating Economy Minister Sergio Massa. Promising to liberate Argentina from its economic crises and politically weary landscape, Milei plans to abandon Argentina's peso for the US dollar and disintegrate the populist Peronist coalition. However, skeptics predict this radical plan may lead to a disastrous outcome, as similar attempts in the past resulted in severe economic crises. His stance on social issues and disregard for the impact of climate change has polarized the nation.
The Emerald Edgelord Has Jumped the Shark
Elon Musk, facing criticism for antisemitic content on his social media platform, has announced a "thermonuclear lawsuit" against Media Matters.

Capitol Crime Wave
The report paints a disturbing picture of ethical and criminal misconduct.

The decision to refer the matter to the DOJ is the right call, but adds yet another layer of complexity to an already anger-filled political US House.
Dan Scavino Drunk Dials His Crimes

Clash of the Clowns

Christie aimed to keep a low profile amidst Trump's absence, while others, such as Haley and Ramaswamy, had heated confrontations. Disagreements on China, Ukraine, and energy policies were prominent. The general consensus suggests none of the candidates sufficiently demonstrated presidential qualifications.
A High-Risk Strategy

Trump is Set to Implode on a Galactic Scale
His legal troubles are vast, and any of them has the potential to derail Trump's political career and his freedom, as it is likely he will find himself imprisoned for at least one of his alleged crimes.

Republicans Tie Israel Support to Defunding IRS
In a new low for the typically already low Republican Party, the U.S. House Republicans have introduced a plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel.

This arguably extortionist proposal has set the stage for a clash with the Democrats, who currently control the Senate.

Meadows Gets Immunity and Trump is Finished

Robinhood Wants AI to Control Your Money
The SEC's proposed "predictive data analytics" rule aims to safeguard investors from risks in the financial sector by controlling the use of AI.
