HHS is hardly the only part of the administration that’s misused AI, but RFK Jr’s department has suffered more than its share of humiliations. After the first incident, it’s tempting to think these guys would’ve learned a lesson. After four incidents, they have no excuses www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

I’ve lost count of the number of times the GOP has been faced with some transparent political disaster, started to enter the usual distance-and-repudiate cycle, and then Trump has seized the party firmly by the shoulders and said “No, you will stand by this obvious moral and political disaster”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTrump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse.

Pete Hegseth’s mother: “On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say ... get some help and take an honest look at yourself.”  She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego.”
I've been screaming for months for Democrats to do this. I can't tell you how happy this ad made me.
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · yesterdayNEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.
At least he isn’t known for his previous association with any notorious child molesters, because it really seems like “fanatically supports the guy who always defends child molesters” would be a bad reputation for a party to get
Yes, brilliant move sir! Take the single most repulsive Republican campaign ad of my entire life and make it national issue for the whole party! Genius!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayQ: Ashley Hinson, who you're campaigning for tonight, says the Ramaswamy ad is 'absolutely terrible' and should be taken down. Why are you defending it? TRUMP: I'm defending it because I know that if that ad was about my mother, you would love every inch of it
Trump’s incoherence spreads a gossamer veil over the public declaration that the investigation will only proceed so long as he wishes it to.

Hegseth’s team broke Eisenhower’s globe. The White House tried to give away one of Eisenhower’s swords. Trump wants to turn the Eisenhower Exec Office Bldg into a giant white blob. Moral of the story: Maybe these guys should stop messing with stuff related to Eisenhower? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
