There’s a “pro-data center party” taking place in D.C. right now, with a generative AI photo booth, AI themed cocktails
"Obama tried to freeze Fox out" is a complete lie and it's incredible that Jake Tapper feels the need to both-sides this
TAPPER: I would ask if you could convey to Trump to let CNN back in the pool. It was not okay when Obama tried to freeze Fox out. I don't think we want a world where presidents get to decide who covers them WALTZ: We need fair, objective, & well-sourced reporting. I've been victim of this nonsense

Xi and his wife hold hands. Trump and Melania do not
Q: Did you discuss the war with Iran with President Xi? TRUMP: We did. I think we're gonna do great. (China has reportedly helped Iran kill US troops)
Long covid is a real thing that sucks for people who have it, and I get that people are desperate, but covid conscious twitter has spiraled into a really dark and dangerous place of medical misinformation because people are Doing My Own Research'ing their way to complete quackery and misinformation.
One of the problems we have is that every Republican voter will have heard via right-wing media that DHS "found" 185 people who voted illegally but no Republican voter will ever hear this news that it was all a lie.
