#HUD blames ‘radical left’ for #GovernmentShutdown

The Department of Housing & Urban Development website now has a large banner reading: “The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The #Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.”

HUD blames ‘radical left’ for government shutdown

The rhetoric from the Department of Housing and Urban Development is among a growing number of signs that the administration has little appetite to help lawmakers reach a compromise.

The settlement comes after #FoxNews paid $787.5M to settle a similar #defamation lawsuit in 2023 & #Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40M to settle a #libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, #Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump #ConspiracyTheories on the network.

The disclosure came as #Trump vowed in a social media post Monday to eliminate #MailinBallots & #VotingMachines such as those supplied by #Dominion & other companies. It was unclear how Trump could [legally] achieve that.

@markcarrigan.net It's an impressive and creepy example for a problem we could also get in popular non-fiction books as well as in journalism.
Therefore, some authors' associations demand a rule that authors indicate in their book whether and how they have used LLMs. But authors can lie.

Usually, you have to #factCheck every quote/stuff found in the internet: there were fakes long before #AI.
