With his flip-flop on the Epstein Files, Trump is reframing himself. The hero frame is collapsing into what we might call a Betrayer frame.

“…Trump is very likely to use his remaining three and a half years in office to lift his cryptocurrency profits to new heights. He is already well on his way — if he is not already there — to setting the record for making money while serving as president.”

A group of VC-backed Christian nationalists seeks a theocratic haven in Tennessee. Political control, religious purity tests, talk of civil collapse — and they’re buying up land.

What goes unsaid, far as I've seen.... Perhaps it sounds too blunt, too alarmist: The more dependent we become on AI, the more vulnerable we become to social control systems set up by those who do the initial programming and administrative monitoring of AI. AI will be giving *us* prompts.

But some on the far right denied it was real.
The world acted anyway. We banned the chemicals. It worked.
