The Urban-Brookings #TaxPolicy Center estimates that, on average, #Americans’ #taxes would rise about 7.5% if the 2017 tax cuts are allowed to fully expire at the end of the year.
But #PresidentDonaldTrump has repeatedly claimed that if the #Republican #budgetbill, called the One #BigBeautifulBill Act, doesn’t pass, Americans “will get a 68% #tax increase.”

#Trump frequently employs use of the term “#invasion”, especially when discussing #immigrants who illegally cross at the border. He used it to justify the use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to rapidly deport Venezuelan immigrants by saying there was an “invasion”by the gang Tren de Aragua. But there has been no “invasion” & #LosAngeles is place embraces rich & various immigrant cultures.

@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.
