I think reporters should carry a mirror so when insulted about their appearance they simply hold the mirror up so that Trump gets a good look at himself...🤷‍♂️

A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration rule that would have required chronically ill Americans to give additional proof they are unable to work in order to receive Medicaid. https://www.washingtonsun.com/legal/judge-blocks-trumps-work-requirement-rule-medically-frail

I am just at a loss, and absolute loss. Sir Patrick Stewart has a special place in my heart because watching Star Trek every Sunday growing up is one of the few really good solid memories of I have from my childhood. It is one of the few positive things I have with my father. We would watch it

NYCLU is suing DHS for records after ICE agents accused a poll worker, at her pollsite, of doxxing ICE agents with a post she never made. NYCLU is seeking to learn if agents are fabricating evidence to pursue criminal complaints against activists.

NEW YORK - Today, the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) filed a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their refusal to release records about their efforts to chill Syracuse activist Paigelynne Gonyea's political speech, and their potential fabrication of evidence to support baseless accusations of criminal activity against her. In January 2026, Gonyea made an Instagram post demanding accountability for Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who killed Minnesota protestor Renee Good. Nearly six months later, two federal officers visited Gonyea at a pollsite, where she was serving as an election worker. The officers presented her with a printed out copy of her social media post and issued her a warning notice which stated that she may have committed a federal crime. But when reporters asked ICE and DHS what crime Ms. Gonyea actually committed, the agencies claimed that she doxxed a federal agent. They then provided to the press what potentially appears to be a fabricated screenshot of an Instagram post that Ms. Gonyea had never seen before and could not be found on her account.

Our website tracks how many AI crawlers have accessed our web content. We still get plenty of interaction with Gen AI search engines like Google, but it doesn’t translate into clicks or business. They’re just stealing our free online content and passing it off to users as their own.

I’m a part of a small consulting group that works with organizations to end sexual violence. Our website gets zero clicks from Google now. We’ve had serious conversations about pulling it offline because no one sees it. We no longer get any clients we don’t know personally.

A summer camp sent an email this morning. They outline how Gen AI search has killed their marketing reach. They’re asking families to host info sessions in our homes. When a business cannot connect with people looking for it, what’s the search business model again?
