Trump’s “Super Intelligence Force” puts AI, intelligence, trade and defence officials under his control while giving tech companies direct access to policy decisions they could profit from, creating fertile ground for corporate profiteering, regulatory capture and corruption.
Musk, Zuckerberg, Pichai, Amodei, Brockman and Huang signed Trump’s "AI accord" requiring outside oversight. Three helped write the "self-regulation" rules and are building the body that would set standards for and certify the auditors policing them.

Trump redirected $176.9 million from a US human-rights fund towards global right wing groups, including $40 million for an “anti-communism” consortium and $1 million for fascist groups opposing Brazil’s Supreme Court days before the presidential election.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.
Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

Exclusive: The Pentagon is asking commanders to nominate troops to attend Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “State of the Force” address this September, and says the servicemembers must meet waist-to-height requirements and exhibit “impeccable” grooming standards. https://on.wsj.com/3VwFKeF

Replying to @djrothkopf.bsky.social
This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.
