The U.S. Government and Pentagon under Pete Hegseth has now effectively blacklisted Anthropic, as well as it’s language model Claude AI, which is currently being used as a backbone by several defense systems, while listing the company as a “supply chain risk,” a label not even placed on a majority of defense contractors or companies working for the Armed Forces of China and Russia. All because Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that would allow the Pentagon to develop weapons that fire without human involvement and commit mass domestic surveillance directed at Americans.
Attorney General Pam Bondi loses her cool and insults Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, one of the authors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, as he questions her about the files during today’s hearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
Massie: “Who's responsible? Are you able to track who in your organization made this massive failure and released the victims' names? Are you able to track who it was that obscured Les Wexner's name as a co-conspirator in an FBI document? Do you have that kind of accountability?”
Bondi: “I believe Wexner's name was listed more than 4,000 times about…”
Massie: “Yeah, I already told you that. This is where he's listed as a co-conspirator.”
Bondi: “Can I finish my answer? Come on. Let me finish my answer. We corrected that within forty minutes. He was already - you're acting like everybody's trying to cover up Wexner's name. He was listed…”
Massie: “Reclaiming my time.”
Bondi: “I'm going to answer this question.”
Massie: “Reclaiming my time. Mr. Chairman.”
Bondi: “This isn't how this works.”
Massie: “Can I have my time back? Mr. Chairman… All right, I'm reclaiming my time.”
Bondi: “Can I give my answer?”
Massie: “So I'm going to put the language of the bill up on the screen.”
Bondi: “Chairman, may I give my answer on that? It's a political joke, and I need to give my answer on that.”
Chairman: “We'll let the Attorney General respond, and then the gentleman can move to his next question.”
Bondi: “Within forty minutes, you asked me a question. Within forty minutes, Wexner's name was added back in.”
Massie: “Within 40 minutes of me catching you red-handed.”
Bondi: “There was one redaction out of over 4,700.”
Massie: “Where he was listed as a co-conspirator!”
Bondi: “And we invited you in - this guy has Trump Derangement Syndrome. You're a failed politician. You need to get on with things that matter.”
NEVER FORGET: On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed as hijackers seized control of four jetliners, sending two of the planes into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.
He created Margaritaville is what he did. He coined the phrases “5 o’clock somewhere” and “cheeseburger in paradise” single-handed. He was a brave American singer-songwriter who pioneered the island escapism lifestyle. And in this house, Jimmy Buffett is a hero, end of story.
