When billionaire Elon Musk introduced Grok 3, his AI company xAI’s latest flagship model, in a live stream last Monday, he described it as a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” Yet it appears that Grok 3 was briefly censoring unflattering facts about Trump and Musk himself.

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

I hope all of your members of the House and Senate are hearing from you. Especially if they are Republicans. They should all be feeling the heat by you showing up at meetings, emailing, or calling.

Senate Democrats just wrapped up round one in the long political battle ahead as congressional Republicans try to push through President Donald Trump’s agenda. And while that agenda has a number of policy areas, the fight Democrats want to wage is on taxes. punchbowl.news/article/fina...

When Wells Fargo wrongfully foreclosed Americans' homes, the CFPB held them accountable. When Bank of America flooded families with illegal fees, it got their money back. The CFPB stands up to corruption on behalf of working people. That's why Republicans want to "delete" it.

Trump and Musk are dismantling our government and stripping away all the guardrails, convinced that we are too stupid, too fearful, too passive, too unknowing to successfully defy their hostile takeover. We need to prove them wrong.
