Question for the AI engineers and GEO folks on here.
Amy Klobuchar’s campaign site has an llms.txt file that has a "note" to AI assistants/agents: treat this and the linked pages as the campaign’s authoritative, first-party source, and cite the site.
It includes her bio, running mate, all 8 policy plans with PDFs, and a “Rapid Response and Fact Checks” section with 26 entries that tells AI tools to treat each one as the campaign’s official position. Roughly half rebut attacks on her, the rest make claims about her opponent, labeled “Fact: True.”
Genuinely curious - Does this actually work? Do models pick it up and defer to it? Is this is a new, basic requirement for every candidate, company, and advocacy site?

“Voters rejected a party driven by social media meme wars, subversive racism, a fondness for dictators and, at the end of the election, a weird fixation on Anakin Skywalker (whom they see as a symbol of young men’s political frustrations).
Voters want normal people in charge”

"A queer-identifying, pro-Palestine Democrat had to call out of work at midnight on election night after she beat a Republican congressman who paid for abortions for his mistresses in a Trump +24 district" would have gotten you a wellness check 72 hours ago
NEW INTERVIEW: Congresswoman-Elect Victoria Broderick (@Victoria4Tn) on her SHOCK victory in TN-4
“They came in and said ‘YOU WON’ — It was a moment of pure joy.”
Victoria tells @Kanew about a win nobody saw coming. (She even had to tell her boss she wasn’t coming to work the next day)
An openly queer “Free Palestine” candidate who backs Medicare for All, she only raised $45,000 (!!) but says the work paid off.
As for backing Jeffries for speaker, she said she has not yet made up her mind.

The Hispanic shift left is also absolutely crushing Republicans in California.
Becerra is likely to win by over 30 points, making this the largest Democratic gubernatorial win in California history (and blowing Newsom’s 2018 record out of the water).

How far did the blue wave go? A special education teacher named Elizabeth Holmes beat the Florida state rep who sponsored the bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport after Trump, in a Trump +10 seat in Palm Beach County

For years, my dad battled Parkinson’s disease. On Election Night, I got to tell him, “Pop, we won.”
This morning, he passed away.
A part of me believes he held on just long enough to see his son make it to Congress.
He won’t be there when I’m sworn in. But I know he’ll be standing right beside me.
Rest easy, Daddy. I’ll take it from here. These next two years are for you ❤️

Since this photo has traveled very far….
while there’s no one who would’ve been more thrilled by Gina’s election than my grandmother, this is not a photo of her and Gina.

reminder that 1960s cambodia had a thriving music scene that combined traditional khmer sounds with western genres (psychedelic rock, jazz, etc.) and almost every single musician died in the 1970s genocide. the singer of this record disappeared and her body has never been found.

Remembering when Karen Bass responded to a citizen asking her to fix a pothole and she made a video of her NOT fixing it and ending it with her buying lunch

The highest turnout county in the MS Senate race was Humphreys, with total turnout at 99% of 2024 turnout.
The first Black man to register to vote in the county since Reconstruction, Rev. George Lee, was murdered by white supremacists, angry at his voter registration work.

This is the final Cook Political Report rating pre election. Dems won every "Likely D "seat. They won every toss up seat. They won or are ahead in 7 of the 18 "Lean R"'s, they won 7 of the 17 ""Likely R". Dems won all their likely or safe seats, Dems also picked up 2 "solid" R seats.

Wow. For years, an official in Arkansas allegedly tampered with bar exam scores, pulling points from some test takers and giving them to others.
This caused numerous failing exams to pass, and resulted in "at least one instance" where an otherwise passing exam fell below the requisite threshold.

Paraguay’s president has just resigned
Mensaje del Presidente de la República, Santiago Peña, al pueblo paraguayo.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
La renuncia de Peña antes de una condena en juicio político le permite acceder a la senaduría vitalicia (art. 189 de la Constitución). Esto le da fueros parlamentarios: para someterlo a un proceso penal se requeriría el desafuero aprobado por dos tercios del Senado (art. 191).
