Have you ever wore a self-advertising, $50, Chinese made, baseball cap to a dignified transfer of personnel you were directly responsible for?

But Congress didn’t approve did they?
Very plausible and we can expect more of that…

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…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
The toupee probably is stuck to the cap
Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad.
I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.
It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.
We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.
The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.
Cuban forces reportedly killed 4 people and wounded 6 on an American speedboat with a Florida registration.
They claim they were shot at by the US boat.
This is going to be a shitshow.
The draft executive order floating around wants to force people to re-register to vote between now and the midterms.
Clearly beyond Trump’s authority, and completely pointless unless your goal is to limit turnout
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

"In researching Kushner’s connection w/ the Epstein files, I came across an FBI CHS (confidential human source) reporting document from Oct 2020 that quoted both Rex Tillerson & his wife, Renda, as having complained that Kushner was running his own shadow State Department during Trump’s first term."

Lord Peter Mandelson was sent money directly from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein as early as 2003, according to new files released by US government
The files record three payments in 2003/4 from Epstein’s JPMorgan accounts of $25,000 each, all mentioning Mandelson

Yes, Stephen Yaxley Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) is in the Epstein files.
Here’s Steve Bannon, while running around the UK encouraging Johnson, Rees Mogg and Farage to topple Theresa May, bragging to Epstein of his description of the convicted thug as the ‘backbone of Britain’

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
