At Monte Cielo, a new housing development in this growing region of South Texas, half-built homes are sitting empty. On a recent day, just a few workers hovered behind temporary wrap tacked to wall frames.
President Donald Trump has embarked on a bizarre posting spree touting his friendship with Black celebrities following his racist video of Barack and Michelle Obama. The president took to social media on Wednesday morning to post a series of clips showing him with everyone from ear-biting boxer Mike Tyson, convicted felon Diddy and accused child molester Michael Jackson. How quickly people forget. So Sad! President DJT," Trump wrote in an apparent effort to bolster his credentials with the Black community. One post, sarcastically titled "A Timeline of Trump's bigotry," featured a TikTok video with various images, from the president kissing Black babies and hugging Oprah Winfrey, to shaking Will Smith's hand and hanging out with Snoop Dogg.

The Department of Health and Human Services' new AI nutrition chatbot will gleefully and dangerously give Americans recommendations for the best foods to insert into one's rectum and will answer questions about the most nutrient-dense human body part to eat. "Use AI to get real answers about real food," a new website called realfood.gov proclaims. "From the guidelines to your kitchen. Ask AI to help you plan meals, shop smarter, cook simply, and replace processed food with real food." The website then has an "Ask" chatbox where you can ask any question. Asking anything simply redirects to Grok, an example of how halfassed Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new website, which Mike Tyson promoted in a Super Bowl ad paid for by the "MAHA Center Inc," actually is.

Compared with CBO projections from January 2025, before Mr. Trump took office, the federal government is now expected to run a $23.1 trillion shortfall over the next nine years, rather than a $21.8 trillion one, a $1.4 trillion wider gap.
In a Facebook post stretching three times the length of the Gettysburg Address, a North Carolina senator praised Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance as "the most American halftime show I have even seen," an experience that drove him to tears and kept him writing nearly to midnight.
The airport said in an Instagram post that all flights to and from the airport would be grounded from late Tuesday through late on Feb. 20, including commercial, cargo and general aviation flights. It suggested travelers contact their airlines to get up-to-date flight information. The shutdown is likely to create significant disruptions given the duration and the size of the metropolitan area. El Paso, a border city with a population of nearly 700,000 and larger when you include the surrounding metro area, is hub of cross-border commerce alongside neighboring Ciudad Juarez in Mexico.

Donald Trump: "The Peace President"
New analysis from trans journalist and researcher Jessica Kant has found that Fox News publishes more articles about trans people than any other media outlet in the country. And that includes LGBTQ+ publications. The findings bolster what Democrats have long argued, that it's actually Republicans who are obsessed with trans people and not the other way around. Kant also noted that right-leaning publications produce far more articles on trans people than the mainstream media. "Our annihilation has become a central organizing principle of the Republican Party," Kant wrote in her analysis, which used her research to unpack how the right "manufactured the illusion of a dangerous all-powerful enemy out of a tiny demographic with no political influence, financial resources, nor social capital."
Vice President JD Vance has deleted a post about the Armenian Genocide from his social media accounts in an embarrassing climbdown. After attending the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on Friday, he flew to Armenia as part of a much-touted trip to support a U.S.-brokered deal to end the country's long-running conflict with Azerbaijan. But he accidentally broke ranks with his own boss after he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, laid a wreath on a memorial honoring those who died during Armenia's 1915 genocide. In the initial now-deleted social media post, Vance said they were "at the Armenian Genocide memorial to honor the victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide." Trump has long refused to call the systematic killing of Armenians a "genocide," a term disputed by U.S. ally Turkey. The initial post was supposedly made in error by a staffer who was not part of the delegation, an official said.
