“Our instinct at the firm is, every time we hear about another attack, we need to see the chat logs because there’s [a good chance] that AI was deeply involved…”
In the late 19th and early 20th century Americans rose up and demanded limits on oligarchs like this. It led, in part, to the Progressive movement and “Trust Busting.” American politics is begging for a 21st century Tech Bro Buster.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
Dear Russia,
Iran's fire is making oil prices spike.
Spiking oil prices makes economic problems for us, so we're making it easier for you to sell more oil.
In sum, Iranian military success against us reduces economic pressure on you.
Just, you know, FYI.
Sincerely,
The geniuses leading America

![Donald Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. can't use nuclear weapons, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee.
"Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can't we use them," Scarborough said on his "Morning Joe" program.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/bafkreiber7pzv36je2r6zhrzajzv7qayzukcurjzp3on7t7w5fwcm4kzay)
I will just say it out loud:
I am very concerned Trump will use a tactical nuclear weapon in his quest for a quick victory over Iran.
I am reminded of the story from 2016, when Trump reportedly asked three times in a single briefing why nuclear weapons couldn’t be used:

Xi: Did you hear?
Kim: No...
Xi: The Americans are moving air defense systems out of South Korea!
Kim: What? No way!
Xi: Yes!
Kim: Amazing. How'd you do that?
Xi: I didn't do anything. They started a war with Iran, told themselves it'd be easy, and didn't do the math on interceptors.
Kim: Ha!

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
The name "Mosaddegh" comes up distressingly rarely in US news reports about our war on Iran.
And this is not a bad thing considering the dangerous world we live in.
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
Seismic. In the ‘50’s the European Defense Community (EDC) fell apart because France would not integrate their military with (West) Germany. Now they are going to share a nuclear weapons deterrent strategy. All because Trump has shown that America can’t be trusted.

Every President since FDR has ordered a military operation against another country. Every. Single. One.
The Imperial Presidency captures every occupant.
It is undefeated.
For over a decade I have taught in my college courses that ever since the Formosa Resolution, America goes to war through congressional authorizations to use force…and not formal declarations of war. Now it is simply at the whim of whoever is President. We don’t even have the veneer of democracy.
There's something so distinctly vile about living in a society that allows wagering on bombings and wars.
In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.
