Folks ask what keeps me up at night? Lately, it’s been the thought of what happens when machines are tasked with making life and death decisions. I continue to explore the impact of AI on national security, from autonomous weapons to deepfakes. Free. patreon.com/posts/13428614…
The GOP is hoping this will just go away. Spoiler alert: it’s not going away
NEW: House GOP leaders will give WH time over August to release Jeffrey Epstein-related info - despite growing pressure from rank + file Speaker Johnson is not planning to put GOP's Epstein resolution on floor this week before recess — or possibly ever politico.com/live-updates/2…
It's almost like there's a secret cabal of pedophiles that's controlling the country
Thousands of Ukrainian citizens are protesting this new law, and demanding that Zelenskyy vetoes it. You have to admire the Ukrainian people. In the middle of a brutal war, they’re still finding time to stand up for what’s right. Photo credit: @ChristopherJM
Oof. This is such a dumb, unforced error by Ukraine. Late provisions were added to draft law #12414 that shifts control of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies to the Prosecutor General - a political appointee. This will likely slow (or stop) Ukraine’s EU acceptance.
Why do people keep trying to make this a left vs right issue? Let me reiterate: I don’t care WHO was involved with Epstein - I want them held accountable. If Trump was? Lock him up. If Clinton was? Lock him up. Political. Party. Does. Not. Matter. Here.
We'll soon hear from Ghislaine Maxwell. Be careful what you wish for. x.com/Huberton/statu…
Did you know that 89% of people polled want the Epstein files released? That’s about as close to universal support as you will ever get on any issue. What is Trump hiding?
Yeah, that’s because everyone sees her claims for what they are: complete bullshit designed to distract from the Epstein scandal and Trump fracturing his base
Legacy media outlets largely silent on Tulsi Gabbard's bombshell Obama administration claims foxnews.com/media/legacy-m…
Fox is in full deflection mode over the Epstein files. At this rate, I’m expecting a migrant caravan any day now
Donald Trump's strategy of unifying his base by floating lies which provide them with a familiar common enemy is having success on Fox. Monday mentions on Fox News live programming: "Obama": 117 "Epstein": 2
Oof. This is such a dumb, unforced error by Ukraine. Late provisions were added to draft law #12414 that shifts control of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies to the Prosecutor General - a political appointee. This will likely slow (or stop) Ukraine’s EU acceptance.
"Shame!" shouted many Ukrainian lawmakers as a majority formed from Zelensky's ruling party, pro-Russian oppo bloc & Yulia Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna voted to, in effect, dismantle Ukraine's independent anticorruption institutions. My story on a grim day: ft.com/content/21cf3d…
Lmao… The House is taking their ball and going home because they’re terrified to vote on Epstein. Sure, sure - go ahead and start vacation early. Not like we’re paying you to actually work, or anything.
Two GOP members of the House Rules Committee told us no rule will be produced for bills this week, all because the GOP can't figure out a path forward on Epstein
Trump cheated Murkowski after securing her vote? Color me shocked. Shocked, I tell you. She could always caucus with the Democrats to teach him a lesson, but she won’t
Remember all of those hefty handouts Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski won in exchange for sealing the deal on Donald Trump’s behemoth budget bill? It looks like the president has found a way to get out of delivering. “I feel cheated." trib.al/kKjOO4F
Tulsi referred Russiagate to DOJ? Oh, that’s a shame. Even if there was a crime (there wasn’t) SCOTUS ruled that POTUS can’t be prosecuted for official acts. Whoops.
How long until MAGA figures out Vance is team Murdoch in this fight? 🙃
Let’s talk about this memo. Right-wing influencers want you to think this is some smoking gun that proves a vast conspiracy surrounding the 2016 election. In reality, it’s business as usual for a counterintelligence investigation. As a reminder, Flynn wasn’t the target of…

🤣🤣🤣🤣 That’s more than double his net worth. Discovery is gonna be fun.
BREAKING: DONALD TRUMP SEEKS AT LEAST $10 BILLION IN DAMAGES IN LAWSUIT AGAINST NEWS CORP, RUPERT MURDOCH, OTHERS OVER WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE
The most important thing about the cheating fucks on the jumbotron kiss cam is that Trump’s administration is still gaslighting the public on the Epstein files - this time by requesting grand jury transcripts that nobody asked for
As usual, Trump is making the Epstein report entirely about him. Makes you wonder. But anyway, I repeat: we don’t care WHO trafficked children with Epstein. We want every single one of them charged to the fullest extent possible, regardless of party.

Jesus. No wonder he’s been freaking out. This is some weird (and fucking creepy) shit.
