I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?
CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

If you find something that looks like my writing in Claude, here's a good reason: it's on the legal record that Anthropic stole every fucking book I've ever written. That's not the AI's writing. It's mine.
The NYT knows this, by the way. This is pro-AI propaganda and they fucking know it.

Digital illustration in ink and color style. A hippopotamus standing on a low hillock. He has the wings and engines of a biplane strapped to his flanks. The propellers are spinning and he's wearing goggles. Sitting on top of the upper wing in front of a control stick is a capybara wearing a white silk scarf that's flapping in th breeze, a leather old-timey aviator helmet and goggles. Just two aquatic mammals who are friends taking to the air. Arcing agains the blue sky and clouds of the background is lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.
