This year has felt like nonstop #news, with significant events coming on a weekly or even daily basis. But it's not unique in #history.
For example, there was 1940: War, the draft and FDR’s historic reelection.
1968: Assassinations, political turmoil and more war.
1973 had legal abortion, a historic peace deal, Watergate and plenty of political mayhem.

W/just months left until the election & bombshell political news dropping at a steady clip, #AIchatbots are distancing themselves from #politics & breaking news or refusing to answer at all.

GATES CHOOSES HARRIS!
The wealthy former wife of Bill Gates will be throwing her influence behind Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race.
Melinda Gates, 59, took to social media on Tuesday to declare her support for Harris, praising the VP's leadership skills and commitment to change.

Elon Musk called Harris a communist because of her words about equality.
"Kamala is literally a communist. She wants not just equal opportunities, but equal conditions," he wrote on his X social media page.
