Two recent polls measured the favorable/unfavorable numbers for both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris:

This scene from Jack Ryan Ghost War is laughably, embarrassingly bad and a horrible rip off of the climatic finale of A Few Good Men.

AI can / could:
• Expand government surveillance
• Create its own surveillance
• Hack into, control, and operate weapons systems
• Develop autonomous weapons systems

Creating global instability, loss of human life and world wide panic. 4/

[2016 Primary 🏇🏾💙 @2016Primary]

AI is a threat to our national security and our way of life. It should be the most pressing issue of our times and of the next election(s). 🧵

• Automate scams
• Commit financial fraud
• Mine crypto currency
• Create fake financial accounts
• Hack into individual accounts
• Manipulate financial markets
• Hack into financial markets, conceivably even the NYSE

These would create utter chaos. There’s more.

If Democrats win all districts up to Trump +9 under the new maps:

Dems 222
GOP 213

Under the old maps

Dems 239
GOP 196

A 17 seat gap. That's the story of redistricting in a nutshell.

The big winner in tonight’s GOP election results:
1) Money
2) Trump

Breaking NYT:

The Trump Justice Department is dropping Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.

The reversal came after Adani hired a new legal team led by one of Trump's personal lawyers.

That lawyer went to DOJ and made a proposal: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the American economy and create 15,000 jobs.

Trump brought his All Star Team - Secretaries of State, Defense, & Treasury, along with half a dozen of the most powerful CEOs in America, including the richest person in the world, and Xi dispatched an assistant coach to greet them. Humiliating

Dystopian - Like a scene from a movie where the president has sold out his country while a ragtag group of patriots in middle America plot to restore American Sovereignty.

It’s not the polling. It’s the choices. Los Angeles has 3.8 million residents and one of these idiots will be its next mayor. LA is not a serious place.

If Jerome Powell was trying to orchestrate a vote on interest rates to make clear that the federal reserve will remain independent in his absence, it would look a lot like this

The honest truth is that if Ohio State had Vanderbilt’s exact resume they’d be a lock for the College Football Playoff.

And if Julian Sayin had Diego Pavia’s exact stats head be the runaway lock for Heisman.

[SEC Numbers Guy @secnumbersguy]

Comparing College Football Playoff Contenders:

Strength of Schedule:
-Vanderbilt 22
-Notre Dame 42
-Miami 44

Strength of Record:
-Vanderbilt 11
-Notre Dame 13
-Miami 14

How could anyone justify not putting Vanderbilt in the playoff over the other two?

As Trump tries to Putinize the United States, Putin is attempting to turn Russia into North Korea. Foreign adventures are a necessary distraction for a dictatorship, but when they go wrong, further crackdowns are needed to avoid talking about them openly.

Bret Stephens: “The idea that modern politics amounts to a malicious scheme organized by an insidious cabal of deep-state insiders and globalists at the expense of ordinary people is now received wisdom on the right, paralleling far-left convictions about the purported evils of Zionists and their billionaire backers”
