Lol I hope K&S cover this. I love Krystal reading this whole saga and Saagar just cracking up at the idiocy. Even better if Emily is on

After a bizarre weekend of social media-fueled speculation over the circumstances of Rep. James Talarico's recent absence from the campaign trail in Texas, a mental health facility in Ohio has issued a statement refuting viral claims that Talarico had been undergoing treatment there this week. The claims originated from two right-wing influencers on Twitter, Nick Sortor and Rhein Amacher, who posted audio of a likely-staged phone call purportedly with an employee at the facility who confirmed to them that Talarico was there. Amacher apparently made multiple calls to the facility impersonating a member of Talarico's family trying to get information before the viral call in question. The audio was quickly picked up and spread this morning by the entire right-wing social media sphere.

It is unclear at this time if there will be any legal ramifications for the acts, either on behalf of the Talarico campaign or the Ohio hospital.

Trump Truth Social post: "I settled 8 WARS, am close to ending or settling 2 more, got all of the Israeli hostages back, including the final 28, both living and dead, had hundreds of hostages, from countries all over the World, released and sent back home, won a war in Venezuela, and captured the violent dictator who so viciously ran that country, and stopped the number one state sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran, from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon — AND MUCH MORE! Yet, with all of that I, or the United States of America, did not get the Noble Peace Prize. WOW!"

Lol. I swear he is still on this. I dont know what the obsession is.

Billions of internet-connected video cameras—including security systems, baby monitors, and traffic controls—are increasingly being hacked and weaponized by state actors and military groups in conflicts like those in Ukraine and the Middle East. Combatants use artificial intelligence to automate the scanning and analysis of footage from these vulnerable devices at scale, transforming ordinary civilian surveillance into a powerful tool for intelligence gathering, targeting, assessing battle damage, and psychological warfare.

This widespread vulnerability exists largely because web-connected cameras and Internet of Things devices often feature weak security defaults, lack consistent patching, and are frequently installed by non-IT personnel with little cybersecurity awareness. While intelligence agencies and hackers exploit these digital entry points to spy on military movements and infrastructure across borders, the trend has exposed a massive global "soft underbelly" that is prompting renewed efforts by governments and individuals to tighten device security.

I still have a Facebook and my algorithm there must think I'm a right wing boomer because it just feeds me endless guy in truck talking to his phone videos or young girl bashing her generation (right wingers love that). Its probably my fault because I love checking comment sections just to see what everyone's angry uncles and aunts are saying. I've definitely noticed that since the start of the war none of them even want to acknowledge Trump exists and instead have just pivoted to Lindsay Clancy or Cornell 7 videos for clicks. I wonder if after Dems win the midterms they will pivot back as they can then finally yap about Dems who are in power and blame them for whatever. Or is it truly over for these "content creators" and they never dip their toes back into politics again.

My idiot boomer mother will be quick to regurgitate some anti-socialism rant she heard on Fox News (which is her sole source of information) and yet....

1. Her social security is her ONLY source of income.
2. She lives in an apartment building that is HUD Section 202 / 8 subsidized.
3. The constant barrage of medical tests / procedures / surgeries she is having are covered by her Medicare.

Without those social programs she would be completely broke, on the street, and even less healthy BUT socialism will be the death of America. SMH...

Poor conservative relies on social programs more than anyone, yet how come they always demonize immigrant, people of color and other poor people. People drew their sense of self worth somewhere. If you are productive, you drew a sense of self worth through your compassion, humanity, and self love. But if you hate yourself, view yourself as low, you must trash other people so that you can feel better about yourself.

Think in the shoe of your average poor white right wingers or just poor right wingers in general. If they can look down on other poor people or other race, they can feel good about themselves. The thing they dont get is, they are lowering their overall value as a human being.

If you are rich and successful but you lack humanity, at least you still have something to show off for being a piece of shit. But if you are NOT successful but also lacking humanity, you literally have nothing. You are literally just a piece of shit, a completely useless person, no redeeming value. Yet these people dont seem to understand that.
