Reuters (Dec. 9): “Lithuania on Tuesday declared a state of emergency and asked parliament to authorise military support for police and border guards after a wave of smuggler balloons repeatedly disrupted air traffic in recent months.”

In the fog of war, it was reasonable to conclude that the enemy sought to destroy America's greatest national asset... Ohio.

"US manufacturing contracted for the ninth straight month in November, with factories facing slumping orders and higher prices for inputs as the drag from import tariffs persisted." (Reuters)
Unpredictable, sweeping taxes on US factories are a poor policy for renewing our defense industrial base.

"I finally got around to watching 1984 — ya know, the one with John Hurt? Anyway, it was bleak, like really grim. You could feel the totalitarian system grinding this poor guy into a powder. So, I turned to my friend and I said to him, 'This movie is outrageous, man. I mean, it's really Orwellian!'"

Matthew Hamilton (@Sir_Matthew_D) — Managing Director of Georgetown's Initiative for AI & Democratic Citizenship — does exactly this in his launch essay. Recommended.

Shrinkflation has gotten out of control. A "bailout" used to get you billions in direct subsidies, now all you get is an EO.

A moratorium on state laws and comprehensive federal legislation on AI are dead in the water without sustained, focused leadership from the White House. More is needed if this has any hope of getting through.

I talked with Lauren Wagner and Matt Mittelsteadt about this a few months back — worth revisiting as Congress flirts with the AI moratorium 2.0.

State GOP lawmakers are skittish on AI and energized by their pushback this summer. Trump needs the full power of the bully pulpit and a strong legislative strategy if preemptive legislation has any hope of materializing.
