Während Russland den Iran im Krieg unterstützt (www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...), kanzelt Trump Reporter ab, die ihn danach fragen; und seine Regierung kündigt an, russische Sanktionen einzustellen (nicht dass Russland schon genug von den gestiegenen Ölpreisen profitieren würde).
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.
A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

Rubio’s idiotic justification for the “imminent threat”—that Israel was going to act anyway, and we couldn’t do anything about it, and we allegedly were going to be hit by Iran in response—is going over like a lead balloon. The administration could have real problems in Congress later this week.

Inside Trump’s decision to attack Iran - including a last call to the U.S. military commander about possible American casualties
Killing the Supreme Leader was one thing. Ousting the regime will be another:
“The worst-case outcome is complete chaos” www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
Nur mal so gesagt: Trump bombardiert den Iran, während seine Verbündeten im Inland Papiere verbreiten, die auf falschen Behauptungen basieren und erklären, wie man Wahlen zwangsweise föderalisieren kann, sein Petie die US-KI-Industrie zerstört und viele Zeitungen berichten, dass in den Epstein-Akten wichtige Dokumente über Trump fehlen.

Anthropic’s clash with the Pentagon isn't about pacifism versus militarism—it's a fundamental dispute over how to manage the risks of the most transformative technology since the splitting of the atom, Thomas Wright argues:
🧵 There are several possibilities regarding the Trump regime and Open AI. Here are a few possibilities:
1) Open AI has the same restrictions as Anthropic and the regime has actually folded without admitting it.
2) Sam Altman has misrepresented what Open AI agreed to with Pete Hegseth....

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Democracy Docket has obtained a draft of the executive order being circulated with the White House that would allow Trump to take unprecedented control over voting.
Legal experts called the order blatantly unconstitutional. Read the full, 17-page order below👇 https://bit.ly/4l0gmXp
Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines.
Viktor Orban is now 20 points behind in the polls - and so he has ordered the military to guard “key energy facilities” against a possible Ukrainian “attack.” Hungarians fear he plans a fake national security emergency or false-flag incident before the April 12 election

The big picture: Hegseth told Amodei in a tense meeting on Tuesday that the Pentagon will either cut ties and declare Anthropic a "supply chain risk," or invoke the Defense Production Act to force the company to tailor its model to the military's needs. Why it matters: The Pentagon wants to punish Anthropic as the feud over AI safeguards grows increasingly nasty, but officials are also worried about the consequences of losing access to its industry-leading model, Claude. "The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now. The problem for these guys is they are that good," a Defense official told Axios ahead of the meeting. Anthropic has said it is willing to adapt its usage policies for the Pentagon, but not to allow its model to be used for the mass surveillance of Americans or the development of weapons that fire without human involvement. Anthropic's Claude is the only AI model currently used for the military's most sensitive work.
There's a lot going on.
But it deserves FAR MORE ATTENTION that Whiskey Pete is going to seize the means of AI production so he can 1) engage in mass surveillance of Americans and 2) shoot without human intervention.
Dystopias this bad would be deemed unrealistic.

It's a potential election crime but not voter fraud, despite the TNR headline.
I've been working on this for ages in various countries: the story of the intelligence buildup to Putin's 2022 invasion. How did the US and Britain find out so much, and why were Europe and Ukraine sceptical.
It's a long one:

The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles.

War Jeffrey Epstein ein Agent im Auftrag Russlands? Einige Indizien sprechen dafür, aber es gibt auch gute Gründe, an dieser Theorie zu zweifeln.
European countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.
Der Plan, die Midterms zu stehlen.
