We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Trumpโs huge dumb ballroom.
It looks like a gilded warehouse.
An American anti-drone system proven to work against Russian drones in Ukraine will soon be sent to the Middle East to bolster U.S. defenses against Iranian drones, two U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Friday.
The โUS military leveraged its AI targeting toolsโwhich still employ Claudeโto strike over 1K targets in Iran during the first 24 hours of the now rapidly expanding war. The US is using Claude through Anthropicโs partnership withโฆPalantir [co-founded by Peter Thiel & Joe Lonsdale].โ 3/5/26โฆ1/
Anthropic didnโt want the Pentagon to use its AI in autonomous weapons. Did the Pentagon go ahead & do it anyway in Iran? That is the question. (I least I think thatโs the question.) 1/

"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself!" -- Trump is now working himself up into a frothing rage
It could be proven beyond doubt that Putin is paying Trump for intel that Putin is in turn providing Iran and the response from the White House would be just like this one.
The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying โwe know where youโre at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

With the staffing issues in US attorney offices, I was wondering when this would happen. Wondering if this was a career person or a Trump hire though.
And, as noted in the thread, there is almost certainly some guidance/policy/memo on AUSA/US Attorneyโs Office use of AI.

Argument II. The Court Should Stay This Case Pending FDA's Mifepristone REMS Review. Alternatively, the Court Should Dismiss the Case.. A. The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.... FDA's actions do not cause "sovereign harm"โฆ.. The States' alleged pocketbook injuries do not establish standing.. ะ. The States cannot sue the Federal Government as parens patriae. Intervenor Plaintiffs failed to administratively exhaust their claims... Challenges to the 2016 Action are time-barred Conclusion 8 8 9 9 10 12 .13 .14 15 .15
OK, I will admit that I have not done any historical review here, but it is wild to me that DOJ is filing a motion to stay and โ alternatively โ to dismiss the case altogether for three independent reasons. And yet, in the unending mifepristone challenge (now in Missouri), that's what DOJ did today.
