According to an investigation by The Verge, Google has allegedly been censoring searches involving "Donald Trump" and "dementia." The search engine no longer provides an AI summary, as it does for other searches, and instead says that this feature is not available. However, the AI summary shows up immediately when doing the same search for Joe Biden and possible dementia. The owners of Google were present at Trump's inauguration, so this isn't as surprising as you'd think - disgusting, yes, but not surprising.

Multiple sources confirmed to The Washington Post that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are planning to force THOUSANDS of Pentagon employees to take polygraph tests so that they can try to find out who keeps leaking information. The irony, of course, is that all of their schemes to find leakers have been leaked to the press before they can even happen. Polygraph tests are unreliable to the point where they aren't even admissible in court, and the testing so far hasn't stopped any of the leaks or found any leakers. 

The Trump administration has ordered furloughed federal employees to set up "out of office" reply emails on their accounts during the government shutdown, and employees have been ORDERED to blame Democrats for the shutdown in their email messages. Staffers at multiple government agencies were given word-for-word scripts that they are to use, blaming Democrats in the Senate for the shutdown, even as Republicans control every single branch of the government. But polls already show the public is blaming Republicans for the shutdown.

Two weeks ago, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had the highest approval rating of any official in the Trump administration, sitting at a pathetic NEGATIVE four points. That was obviously still really bad, but still better than other officials in the administration. After his recent antics, however, he now has the LOWEST approval rating of any cabinet official. He managed to destroy his entire public image (the little bit that he had) in less than two weeks, and that is nothing short of amazing. 

Donald Trump had another major, unhinged meltdown on Truth Social on Thursday morning as he claimed that it was the Democrats who had gone "stone cold crazy." The man is completely off his rocker at this point, and all of his attacks on other people's sanity and intelligence is the most transparent projection we've ever seen.
