The reason they use Anthropic is pretty simple: It’s the only engine installed in AWS’s Classified could used by the NSA under the β€œWild and Stormy” program.

In a phone interview with Israel’s Channel 12, Trump demanded President Herzog to give Netanyahu a pardon β€œtoday,” saying he doesn’t want Netanyahu distracted by anything other than the war with Iran.

He called Herzog β€œa disgrace”, who β€œpromised me 5 times”, adding: β€œTell him I’m exposing him.”

Anti-abortion video labeled β€˜misinformation’ by doctors would be part of Utah sex ed in GOP bill A year after she pushed Planned Parenthood’s sex education programs out of Utah schools, a GOP lawmaker wants to require teachers to show a video by anti-abortion activists.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists decried the video in 2024.
β€œMany of the claims made in this video are not aligned with scientific fact, but rather reflect the biased and ideologic perspectives of the extremists who created the video.”

China is going to completely dominate automotive manufacturing within 3-5 years. This could have been us, except then came Trump.

This video is so disturbing.
Is this how we treat our veterans for using the First Amendment right they fought for to speak out? And the fact that we have a bunch of politicians who don't even react to it is frightening.

It’s not even difficult: Congress should subpoena the contracting officer that gave a sole-source contract to Kristi Noems bestie.

I don’t get it: If Trump would just offer to build a ballroom and put n extension of the Trump Kennedy center in Tehran I’m sure everyone would rise up and support American regime change. As a bonus he could ensure he would jail anyone who interrupted a Christian church service!

A senator with reasonable experience could work through the rules to figure out ways to slow this administration down. Amazing how McConnell spent his time on that instead of tweeting.

Subaru isn’t leaving the US, they’re shifting manufacturing points for certain parts mostly for Canada back to Japan. They’re actually expanding production in Indiana. The US accounts for 70% of Subaru sales.

Admittedly it’s going to be entertaining to watch these two sling feces at each other for months and demotivate Texans from voting for either of them. This is the heart of the GOP on full display with no guardrails to stop them from showing exactly who they are.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post β€” including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East β€” based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Yeah. Fuck him. He’s a coward who made tens of millions , played along as a good Trump Republicans and suddenly found honesty after he resigned.

Ronald Reagan was a colossal pile of garbage but he’s in many ways responsible for in-home care for disabled children and that these clowns would torch an actually good part of their hero’s legacy is where these sadists are now.

It’s just been 12 degrees below normal since November coupled with constant dreary rain, sleet, joyless snow. Even the dogs hate it. I’m done. I get why people move to Florida or Arizona or Portugal.
