Trump wants to use Anthropic's AI to spy on American citizens and to direct robotic warfare without human judgments. Anthropic says the use must be consistent with law. Trump then announces that he will destroy Anthropic. More evidence that Trump's America is not a rule-of-law state.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Also, almost everything he says is a lie. The US gave Ukraine far less than he claims, and has not given anything for a year. Biden did restart weapons manufacturing all over the country. There are still shortages of air defense ammunition, everywhere, because it takes a long time to make.

It’s amazing that we’ve all just had to accept that our top military leaders in time of was will only take questions from wildly partisan media outlets. LindellTV, Daily Caller, Daily Wire get called on, but no legitimate general audience or defense press outlets.

NEW: Trump says UK PM Starmer, β€œshould be giving us, without question or hesitation, things like bases”. (New York Post)

Astonishing that the US president thinks he can issue commands to the leaders of foreign nations, including allies.

Countries need to keep telling him β€œno”. Sovereignty matters.

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.

A navy torpedo detonates under the target, lifts it out of the water and cracks the hull. The people who aren’t thrown overboard by the blast are knocked unconscious and buried alive in their compartments when the ship sinks. We did that to 141 people today for no reason.

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.

The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.
