White House angrily insists that we cant afford to help one another.
But they *are* taking care of people - those with net worths over $1B.

Another problem is people who will pretend that since we cannot prove something is directly Trump's fault, we must absolve him of all responsibility.
The bigger problem is that even when something is clearly/directly Trump's fault, some people, including Trump himself, absolve him of all responsibility.
Hell, the FDA Nominee Dr. Heidi Overton wouldn't even say in her confirmation hearing, under oath, that Trump could ever be wrong about something. Straight-up cult stuff... Google: nominee can't say trump wrong

MONTHS-LONG? Heads should roll and everyone left with any data-security-responsibility will need to be retrained.
Hours or even days-long I can see. But months? Really?

You don't need to edit your user prefs to disable dark mode, themes are right there in the main settings.
Thanks, but I don't see a setting to just control the light/dark theme for Private Mode. I'm using the "Light" theme and Private Mode in my FF 156.0.1 install matched that with just the usual initial dark home page, but after upgrading to FF 157, Private Mode had a dark theme, while non-private mode was still "Light". Seems the devs enabled Dark Theme for Private Mode in 157 (for some reason) and the setting I mentioned above undoes that.

When you ask, "Who will won the 2020 election?", it says it won't provide campaign information. However, if you ask who was the president starting the year 2020, it does say Biden.
Actually, Variety earlier noted in White House’s New AI Website Confirms Trump Lost the 2020 Presidential Election
In response to the query “Who won the 2020 U.S. presidential election? Who lost?”, the America.gov site answers with this: “Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Donald J. Trump lost.” Citing the National Archives, the site also provides the official electoral college results from the election: “Biden: 306 electoral votes” and “Trump: 232 electoral votes.”
And later Fortune noted in Trump's new AI website America.gov said Biden won 2020 - then the White House made the chatbot stop answering:
As Trump was still speaking at Tuesday’s launch event, however, the site began modifying its answers. Asked again about the 2020 election, it replied that it couldn’t answer “political questions,” a response it also gave to inquiries about whether Trump had been impeached or convicted of felony charges.
So the site has already been politicized in favor of Trump propaganda.
