  1. Sen. Elissa Slotkin pointed out that Republican candidate Mike Rogers said: "Trump is right to put America First, and #tariffs are necessary" in August, and two months later Rogers said: "Prices are too high and Canada is not our enemy. We need to end the tariff war now."
    To try to win this election, Mike Rogers reversed his position on tariffs.

  2. Donald Trump: "Prices are way down from what Biden and the Democrats left us."

    Daniel Dale: "I think these are Trump's most self-damaging lies. Basically everyone knows that prices are up, not way down, since January 2025. The president is telling people not to believe their own eyes."

  3. "The bystanders who did not believe you were not simply reading the situation incorrectly. They were responding to a tactic specifically designed to produce that result. Their failure to support you was the intended outcome of a deliberate sequence — not a verdict on your credibility or your worth."

  4. Paul Krugman illustrates how aligning with President Trump can severely damage professional credibility, as seen with Scott Bessent whose market boasts and failed predictions unraveled during his service. This pattern highlights the reputational risks for economists and analysts who tie their reputations to the administration's often unrealistic economic claims, offering a cautionary tale about prioritizing loyalty over evidence-based forecasting. Readers should explore the full analysis to understand these dynamics better. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the #Politics #Economics #Credibility #Trump

  5. "Trump banned MSNOW, CNN and Politico from the White House on Friday without notice, stripping journalists of access to the grounds after he accused them of writing 'fiction and lies'.”:

    Trump is right, in the sense that anyone who accurately broadcasts or prints what habitual liar Donald Trump says is publishing fiction and lies.

  6. The #legal system is a high‑stakes environment where narrative, #credibility, and procedural framing determine outcomes. Distortion mechanisms thrive wherever interpretation, memory, and authority are contested.

  9. Paul Krugman warns that bold claims from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about taming US interest rates are falling flat as global bond markets push yields higher. Talk proves cheap against market realities, with rising rates possibly fueled by the surging AI boom demanding more capital. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/bes This episode shows how credibility hinges on results not rhetoric, urging policymakers to align expectations with economic forces.

    „During a … press conference in Ukraine, Kushner, who is married to the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, was asked by NBC[‘s] R. Engel why people should have “any confidence” in his or Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff’s diplomatic abilities.
    As Engel noted, the pair was involved in negotiations to rebuild Gaza following the war between Israel & Hamas, but Gaza remains a “wasteland.”

  13. So a "totally real" think tank, funded by #Israel, decided to play puppet master with AI for propaganda. 🎭🤖 Nothing screams #credibility like "fake" and "propaganda" in the same sentence. 🙄 Good job, humanity, you've truly outdone yourself this time! 👏

    ネット上の付き合い、それはとても危うく、不安定な物。
    何処の誰かも解らない、名前も顔も解らない。解ってるつもりでも、信憑性に欠ける。

  17. David Pakman said on Gavin Newsom's #podcast:
    "Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made this same mistake,
    they said: 'But don't people see the economic numbers? Things are very good'."
    But people experienced economic hardship, making them realize that Joe Biden
    and Kamala Harris were out of touch and maybe lying to them.

  18. [Edited, twice, for typos]
    [No AI was used in writing this toot — I’d rather not write at all otherwise]

    The use of #GenAISlop machines to determine whether text was provided by #LLM #TextRegurgitatingMachines is a monster of a cyclical process. Like the integrity of police officers overseen by other police officers in another branch of law enforcement. Lawyer oversighted by a professional lawyer body… and so on. #Credibility and #Transparency are unlikely to prevail in such nepotistic circumstances, corruption is everywhere but a step away.

    What are #Authors to do? Build a #TrailOfEvidence and unimpeachable record of #Provenance for every work they wish to publish? How are they to do this? Are there non-AI tools to help? This is a really f*^%#d up world the #TechBros are imposing upon us all with their inane #MarketingHype hitting the mark with many incompetant and gullible executives in charge of the #publishingIndustry. (This is all conjecture on my part based on very little but general observations of what LLM GenAI is doing — or not doing — in every field of endeavour).

    “Pangram is not infallible. I’ve used it to run some of my newsletters through it, and they came back as 80% AI when I wrote every word myself. This is one of many reasons why I disagree with Substack’s decision to partner with Pangram. Another reason is that once a tool like Pangram is available to the masses, false accusations start flying around, and careers can be ruined. Whether you admit it or not, there is A LOT of jealousy in the publishing world, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone who disliked author X decided to use Pangram on their work and made the results public. This is not the publishing world I want to live in.” (Read more: AI Accusations and Book Publishing - Kathleen Schmidt, Aug 01, 2026). A blog post on Substack, sry. kathleenschmidt.substack.com )

    PS. I wonder how many *airport* books by some of the most successful authors in the *genre* would pass muster if subjected to #Pangram or similar GenAI tool generated analysis? Not many I’d wager. Further, what’s the bet Pangram is itself code produced by a GenAISlop machine. This AI ponzie scheme is just getting wilder and wilder by the day… BOOOMMM !

  19. Minced horses?
    Secret files show horse meat, mouse fur and metal shavings detected in Australian food

    "The files show horse meat has been sold as beef and lamb mince, and that metal shavings have been found inside bread products. Privilege documents detail 'rampant animal cruelty."

    "Food fraud units operate throughout Europe, Canada and America but not in Australia." >>

  20. Scott Jennings has a long history of telling lies when speaking on CNN.

    CNN wrote: "As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network. His account of a personal conversation with Sen. McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting."

    Bill Carter wrote: "Isn't this is kind of CNN saying: 'We don't really trust that this guy is telling the truth?' And how can CNN not fire the guy?"

  22. Josh Rogin: "Trump’s favorability in Italy is 7% and his unfavorability is 86%, so his claim that Meloni wanted a photo with him to 'get her numbers up' is 180 degrees wrong. Her fight with Trump helps her at home."

  23. Italian Prime Minister Meloni said, contradicting Trump: "Italy and I never beg."

    Jesse Lee: "The only international begging I’ve seen recently was Trump begging all of our traditional allies for help in Iran, and being met with stone cold silence. You’d think he’d have learned that insulting our friends for cheap power rushes has much bigger consequences, but I guess not."

  24. David Cay Johnston said: “The regime in Tehran has proven to be more honest and reliable in their public statements than Donald Trump and his minions.”

    Dean Obeidallah: "That is accurate. Donald Trump is a serial liar. I’ve long said we should assume everything he said is a lie and just have 'truth checkers' tell us if anything Trump uttered was actually true. In general, that would be no. Trump’s approach to his failed #IranWar is no different. It’s been lie after lie." #credibility #politics

  25. @26pglt
    Yes! Two really good question areas:

    1. “Imagine if our focus all along had been policy. And how policies affect the lives of people.”

    and

    2. “How do media & political parties shift the narrative once credibility has been so profoundly lost?”

    You got me thinking. I wanna see and hear some discussion on these.

  26. #EpsteinFiles revelations include: "Bongino hated the Justice Department’s nothing-to-see-here memo being drawn up for public release. He told Patel this would in no way align with their promises of transparency after taking over the F.B.I., and he objected to putting the F.B.I. seal on the letterhead. But he was overruled":

    There is also other descriptions of how the Trump Administration clumsily mishandled the #EpsteinFiles issue.

  27. Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

    * Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

    "The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

    * The role of loss within society
    Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

    "Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

    "Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

  28. Sadly this is our state of affairs on the world:
    "Yeah, not even sure credibility is a thing anymore because people simply believe the stories that they want to believe, and disbelieve the stories that they're disinclined to believe. There's no such thing as, 'Well, I might disagree with you, but at least you're credible, so maybe I should take it seriously.'" - Scott Adams

    In psychological terms Scott is saying that
    confirmation bias is very prevalent, leading to not being able to cope with cognitive dissonance.

    Tribalism inevitably leads to confirmation bias.
