This family doesn't even bother to hide its self-dealing and corruption. It just straight up profits off the policies of an administration daddy controls. One day, historians will look back and shake their heads, like how did America let this happen?

How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence The administration’s war with Iran is setting a mountain of taxpayer dollars on fire every day—mostly because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/2MyFy7f

Five Unresolved Issues in OpenAI’s Deal With the Department of Defense Jake Laperruque discusses key questions about OpenAI’s agreement with the DOD, including how its safeguards on domestic surveillance will work in practice.

OpenAI says its Defense Department contract includes “red lines” on mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. But the newly released terms still leave key questions about surveillance, privacy, and how these safeguards would work in practice, argues Tech Policy Press Fellow Jake Laperruque.

The War on Anthropic: Pretextual Designation and Unlawful Punishment The Trump admin’s action against Anthropic is barred by statutory limits, the First Amendment, and the Constitution’s bills of attainder.

Headline: DHS Ordered to Stop Gassing Portland Residents Subheader: Ruling asserts the government cannot knowingly poison families in their own home

🚨 VICTORY 🚨 A federal judge ordered DHS to stop flooding Portland homes with toxic chemical munitions.

For months, federal agents have knowingly gassed the families, veterans, and seniors living at Gray’s Landing.

The court said: No more.

Tweet from TN Rep. Andy Ogles saying that "Muslims don't belong in American society"

The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure

Wow. Republican Rep Kevin Kiley tells reporters in a virtual press conference that not only will he run as an independent in CA-6, but he will officially be an independent for the remainder of his current term in Congress, @melodykloepfer.bsky.social reports.

Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor

Procurement, Capacity and Soverignity When your contractors are also your enemy

New, from me: Trump's retribution against Anthropic is over the top. But it should cause Democrats to think about how they will deal with contractors like Musk or Ellison when they return to power.

Seizing the Data Center Buildout for Grid Modernization An American Grid Infrastructure Fund to Leverage AI Growth for Public Benefit

Always read the great @janeaflegal.bsky.social. Rapid data center growth presents a chance to modernize the aging US power grid. We can leverage these projects to fund infrastructure upgrades to create a resilient, clean, and efficient grid for both tech and public benefit. 🔌💡

This analysis seems *modestly* more pessimistic than current reports suggest (e.g., Iran hasn't disabled all five THAADs) but the asymmetry is real. Iran can likely keep SoH closed with cheap drones for months, no matter what we do, and nothing could re-open it other than a collapse of the IRGC.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books, pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lot of fun
And it's 1, 2, 3
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
