The Washington PostBreaking news: Federal prosecutors moved to drop a criminal charge filed against a former Olympian who had been accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool, suggesting that the damage was instead due to a rushed installation.
Nah. There’s Warren Harding, Andrew Johnson… um… William Henry Harrison maybe?
Security DilemmasYou *don't* think Trump's IQ is dead last among U.S. presidents?
Oh, so the average Fox News viewer will be objectively wrong? Well knock me down with a feather!
Hermione, Texas GrangerI mean, if you ask the average Fox News viewer this, they will not only say that Biden and Obama both did it, but also that it was 10x worse than anything happening now

It’s worth repeating on a regular basis: the Trump administration’s corruption is truly unprecedented. I get why Trump is seeking bribes. What I’m less sure about is how the bribers think this will end. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-corrup...

We studied a lot of AI prose, a lot of our own, and that of other journalistic outfits and books.
