Big Tech’s Moment of Truth on AI Safety AI companies should resist the urge to undercut Anthropic and use their collective leverage to make clear that access to frontier models comes with limits.

DoD’s demands to use Claude AI for purposes its creator deems unsafe is a chance for tech companies to stand together against government extortion.

New GDP data falls far short, shows 2025 ended with weak economic growth In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low. It’s worth asking why.

As Trump rambles on about how “dead” the economy was, remember:

2024, under Biden: 1.45 million jobs
2025, under Trump: 181,000 jobs

2024, under Biden: 2.8% GDP growth
2025, under Trump: 2.2% GDP growth

The question for the White House is simple: Why did things get worse after Trump returned?

'It will not be automatic or immediate': Companies brace for a messy tariff refund process Friday's landmark Supreme Court ruling left open a key question around whether companies that paid the tariffs will be able to get refunds. President Trump signaled that he wouldn't make it easy.

"The notion that American taxpayers have to now litigate to get back money that the government illegally collected is unfortunate," (because…Trump)

Trump brazenly violated the Constitution. An entire political party went along with this. He seized power no president has, and he wielded it arbitrarily to serve his own ego. Finally, a restraint is imposed on the Mad King. Better late than never. But it has taken too long.

It was an honor - and a delight - to meet Rev. Jackson when he lead a community action gathering in which I participated following the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. Even in the grave and trying circumstances of that moment Rev. Jackson was welcoming to all and gracious.
I’ll never forget his bonhomie.

The one and only time NATO has invoked Article 5 and waged collective defense was when they came to *our* aid after 9/11.

That's a fact, no matter how dumb our current president is. Just saying.
