House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed in a post on X,
“JUST SIX MONTHS into President Trump’s second term, America is safer, stronger, and more prosperous”
—despite ample evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile, the White House posted an absurd cartoon depicting a slimmed-down Trump with $100 bills and bald eagles flying in the air around him,
plus a nearly two-minute-long video that touted his alleged accomplishments.
But millions of Americans would disagree with those …

sells a suite of hardware and products, including autonomous piloting software that has been used to fly fighter jets.

I was walking the dogs along our normal route when a Chihuahua started following me. They followed me the entire way home. I wasn't terribly sure what to do with that.
