I'm so glad that we have LLMs to make computers more expensive for the first time since they were invented while also taking my job and making everyone illiterate

National COVlD levels would be characterized as "High" (WVAL=5.63) if the CDC did not downshift all level categories, past & present, as of Aug 14. We labeled this an "ethics crisis" on Aug 16 & warned it would slow the public health response when levels worsened. We're here.
BREAKING: COVID in the US has returned to moderate levels. The northeast region of the US saw the biggest increase this week.

It’s interesting that Trump is especially interested in rigging the election in Alaska. At exactly the moment when he is trying to give Alaska’s natural resources to Russia. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/us/al…

When Epstein got wind of the raid, he and all of his employees, including his lawyers and accountants, stripped the properties of evidence. #EpsteinFiles @OversightDems

NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell. When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract. @isaacstanbecker @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-sec…

El-Sayed: Trump called me Abdul Ramadan. Ramadan is the month in which Muslims fast. The thing is groceries under his leadership have gotten so expensive, I wouldn't be surprised if he is like, “listen, we could just do Ramadan for all.” “Why are you fasting?” “I can’t afford food”

Well what do you know? Who could have seen it coming?
A Republican women's group is behind a fake Texas transgender student union that sent text messages and brochures to as many as three million voters this month. The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund and someone named John Braun were identified as those responsible for the scheme that riled up voters just as early voting began, according to legal filings made public late Thursday. The identities were ordered to be revealed by a Travis County judge. bit.ly/48q1oVa

🦔Delaware wants to let AI agents run companies on their own. Under the draft law, the agent could sign contracts and file lawsuits, and the person who owns the company would carry no responsibility for its harms unless they committed fraud or left it underfunded. Delaware’s Secretary of State has pitched it as a big boost to state revenue. House Oversight Chairman James Comer now wants to see how the plan came together. My Take Yeah, so companies already blame AI for layoffs they wanted anyway, and now they’d get to blame it in court too. Say the agent drains a customer’s account. You can sue the company, but you only get whatever money the owner left in it, and the owner gets to tell the judge a machine made the call. I don’t see who this helps besides the owners and Delaware (business fees pay for roughly a quarter of that state’s budget, so of course they’re interested). If it passes in January, I expect a rush of AI startups to file there. Hedgie🤗

So let me get this right: if you’re a corrupt right-wing leader who loses an election and is under investigation you get asylum? If you’re a mom and kid fleeing violence you’re not?
Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family have landed in Miami after fleeing his country. This comes a day after they were granted United States visas by the Trump administration.

The parents of Alex Pretti, who was killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, say the Justice Department is refusing to turn over evidence to state and local officials. “Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers,” his father said. wapo.st/4i791FU
