Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Column: Tucson Unified School District borrowed $16.7 million from its insurance accounts and spent down $40 million in savings. Now it is one of Arizona’s school districts in highest financial risk. Decisions like these helped put them in this current position.

Emily followed up our 2024 reporting doggedly. The new charges stem from follow-up reporting she did in 2025 involving an additional young man. Previously the church's pastor was charged with failure to report sexual abuse as a result of our reporting. Series here: tucson.com/life-enterta...
Again, reporting by my colleague @emilyhamer.bsky.social has led to criminal charges being brought against a man accused of sexual abusing boys at a Tucson church. This is the third criminal case resulting from reporting that Emily and I started publishing in Nov. 2024.

Is one of them Markwayne Mullin?
Political Notebook: The pro-RTA Next campaign, fueled by construction-industry dollars, has spent more than $1.3 million more than the puny anti-RTA Next campaign. That and more on Props. 418 and 419 as the window for Pima County voters to cast their ballot closes.

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
Tucson has been experiencing its warmest-ever winter, with zero days below freezing recorded so far.

Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin
I once bought the first 10 front-row seats for an arena concert by Prince with The Time opening, even though I was not first in line. It turned out everyone ahead of me was in line to buy Black Sabbath tickets.
The war powers resolution would have given lawmakers an opportunity to demand congressional approval before further attacks.
There is a Strategic Dunkin Reserve though.
An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
Column: In the Tucson area, only one of our members of the U.S. House is demanding a say over going to war in Iran. It's not my representative, Juan Ciscomani, who has repeatedly handed his power to the president rather than fully represent his consituents.

The Kurds, contemplating whether the USA could possibly stab them in the back for the 457th time.
Okay this may be the funniest effort yet
*TRUMP: I THINK IRAN MAY HAVE ATTACKED FIRST
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
Are the kids still reading Philip Roth these days? Feels like the Plot Against American might really hit for first time readers nowadays.
AI chatbots are Dunning-Kruger machines. They make people who should be uncertain think they are actually really smart.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
Column: A Tucson developer had big plans for a transit-oriented project near the University of Arizona. He promised it wouldn't be student housing and got neighborhood and city approval. Years later, a new developer is teaming with the U of A to make it a huge dormitory.

Truly shocking behavior for a winner of the FIFA Peace Prize.
Almost certainly true, and another opportunity to remember that Netanyahu would willingly trade away the safety of every Jew on earth to save his own political career and avoid going to prison for his crimes.
In a long tweet about Anthropic, Pete Hegseth, through the offical "SecWar" Twitter account says "the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic."
Hegseth is wholeheartedly endorsing the core premise of fascism: industry, as part of the private sphere, must be subordinated to the military objectives of the state.
JUST IN: A federal judge says the Trump administration has been “terrorizing” refugees — violating the promise America made to them when they fled persecution at home — by locking them up illegally. He blocked the policy for those in MN storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
