The short version: Anthropic said it didn't want its AI making autonomous kill decisions without human oversight. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded by declaring the company a supply chain risk—a designation designed for foreign adversaries, not San Francisco companies with ethics policies—and ordering every federal agency to purge Anthropic's technology.

“As much as the old guard might like to pretend, voters simply do not make decisions purely on policy positions. They vote based on a mix of who they like, who they feel likes them, and most importantly, who they trust.”

Pull rather than push tactics?

Isn’t this a war crime? Shouldn’t there be more international outrage? Has the media just become numb to the plethora of corruption in the US? I think I am going to end up having a stroke. SMH

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)

In a crowded field that includes Miller, Kash, Hegseth, Marco, RFKJr, Bondi, Vance, Bessent, and until recently Kristi/Corey, etc .... KL deserves a place in the pantheon all her own.

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger.

But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

Republicans don’t look into mirrors
for fear they won’t see anything.
Much safer to deflect than reflect.

Trump’s tariffs increase prices.
MAGA: What about Biden.

Trump is forced to release the Epstein files. Hides the ones about him.
MAGA: What about Clinton

Trump starts an illegal war with Iran.
MAGA: What about Obama.

They can’t defend him.
So they deflect.
Every damn time.

"[The] goal is not actually to kill Alex's race. Their goal...is to scare other legislators into submission."
