Comment on New Tests Reveal AI’s Capacity for Deception

Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) disputed Fox News host Jacqui Heinrich after she suggested drone sightings were a "Pearl Harbor moment" for Americans. During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Himes agreed that the federal government was responsible for ensuring drones were not flying over sensitive government facilities. The lawmaker pointed to the increased availability of consumer drones as one possibility for recent sightings. "And all I'm saying is we should be sober about it and not start worrying about Iranian motherships or the Martians landing, you know, as New Jersey so famously had happened with the old Orson Welles thing of many, many decades ago," Himes explained. "So is there no concern in your mind that this could be potentially a Pearl Harbor moment, like with the Japanese submarines surveilling in the waters off Hawaii in the months leading up to the attack?" the Fox News host wondered. "No, it's not," Himes insisted.

In 2012, most of us thought that Mitt Romney winning the presidential election along with Paul fucking Ryan would be the worst thing that could happen. Romney was a rich guy who wanted tax breaks for himself and other elitists while we, the taxpayers, foot the bill. Again. But then 2016 happened, and said, 'Hold my beer.' And now it's 2024, just after America decided to marry its abusive ex.

Kenneth Chesebro, a former lawyer for The Orange Felon, thought that he could go back to Georgia and just tell the courts that he changed his mind about his plea deal and get off scot-free. The judge quickly corrected the error in his thinking. After Trump won the 2024 election, Ken Chesebro sought to "invalidate" his plea agreement with the court.

Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis, former Trump lawyers, and Mike Roman, former Trump aide, had an unbelievably bad week and it was glorious. These three have been indicted in the Wisconsin fake elector scheme from the 2020 elections. Their first appearance on those charges was scheduled for Thursday. But they had a helluva time making it that far first. On Tuesday, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul lowered the boom and added ten more charges to each of the defendants: The additional charges allege forgery to defraud the Republican electors who cast their ballots for Trump in 2020, even though Joe Biden won the state. The new charges join the original single charge of felony forgery filed earlier this year.

As Ron Brownstein discussed in the clip above, and in his recent article at The Atlantic, 'Trump Is About To Betray His Rural Voters', Trump's agenda from tariffs, to mass deportations, to cuts to Medicaid, to school vouchers will disproportionately harm Americans in rural communities. And, as Brownstein noted, his article was written before the news broke that Trump and DOGE are eyeing privatizing the US Postal Service: President-elect Donald Trump has expressed a keen interest in privatizing the U.

Fox News pundit Lucy Caldwell called out OutKick founder Clay Travis after he called Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary nominee, an alleged "womanizer" instead of acknowledging sexual assault allegations. During a Sunday panel discussion on Fox News, Travis condemned media coverage of Hegseth's nomination. "Look, they've come after Pete Hegseth with everything they got," Travis complained.
