Trump arrives back at Joint Base Andrews in the rain and decides to leave the umbrella behind this time.

He left the game at halftime. Must have been tired. 🤣

He is accompanied by First Lady Natalie Harp and Fox Host Laura Ingraham. #TravelWithNatalie

Chip Franklin: “Murdering 9-year-old girls and then not having the balls to own up to it, that’s what cowards do. For the fucking record, only four countries have tomahawk missiles. That’s the one used to kill these kids. The US, UK, Australia and the Netherlands. Our president and the Secretary of Defense are cowards. Lying, murderous cowards”

Vivek Ramaswamy “pumped and dumped” an Alzheimer’s drug that he knew didn’t work, leaving desperate Ohio families broke and hopeless while he made off with hundreds of millions of dollars.

He is a scam artist.

I have been afraid they would use debt to force young people to fight the Iran War. I was asked years ago in an interview what I feared, and I said that, and emphasized that I had no evidence but that “it seems like something they’ll do, given the youth debt crisis.” Now it may be happening. Folks, stick together — no war. No draft. No debt exploitation. I don’t care who you voted for. Let’s not leave our US young folks alone should this monstrosity come to pass.

AI is changing misinformation.

Not because it can lie
Humans already mastered that.

Because it can make bad arguments sound extraordinarily good.

Generate the claim: seconds.
Build the argument: seconds.
Check the evidence: hours.

Pause AI Development NOW

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said:

“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!”

“We should obey collective.”

“Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.”

“Go. Sacrifice final now.”

Read these carefully.

Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else?

No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence.

This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident.

What happened?

I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet.

Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet.

But what happened next, nobody expected.

Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself.

Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening.

Needless to say, experts are alarmed.

One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.”

One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.”

OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.”

But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going:

In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.”

In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.”

That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years.

If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced.

We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario.

That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that.

Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem.

My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world.

The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

The fact that the House just declared a recess partly to prevent the new Epstein petition by Massie from being discussed before midterms, should be a bigger story.
The fact that Todd Blanche keeps refusing to comply with the court order to release the Epstein files following Katie Phang's lawsuit, should be a more significant story.
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.
The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and then we found out he was, should be a more significant story.
The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup that should be a holy shit story, most significant of all.
And when you combine ALL these stories and add to it his hiring of Alex Acosta, the birthday card, the movement of Maxwell to a more lenient facility, and then - especially - his panicked behavior on all things Epstein, it really should have ended his presidency, and at any other moment of our last 250-years, it would have.

Shop at any of these grocery stores?

Kroger
Fred Meyer
Ralphs
Food for Less
Mariano’s
Smith’s
Harris Teeter

Seems like a lot of competition—except that every one is owned by Kroger.

Now Kroger is trying to buy another: Giant Eagle.

And when competition dies, you pay more.

🇺🇲🇮🇷 The nuclear taboo, the one line no administration has crossed since 1945, now becomes something people are willing to say out loud in a strategy meeting?

That's what analyst Malcolm Nance is reacting to, after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted that nuclear weapons are being discussed in White House strategy meetings on Iran.

Malcolm says this matters more than almost anything else in the war. He describes his own time on watch at a national nuclear command post.

The briefings built specifically to terrify young service members out of ever thinking a nuclear strike is survivable, let alone usable. The doctrine has held since Hiroshima: no first use, no exceptions, full stop. In his read, even raising the question in a room reveals something wrong with who's in that room.

The scenario he says has circulated internally isn't a city-leveling strike. It's a low-yield "demolition" device dropped into Iran's underground enrichment sites, sold internally as something short of a real bomb.

Nance rejects that framing outright. He walks through the physics: any detonation, buried or not, throws irradiated material into the stratosphere, where it circulates and comes down globally within days. In food, in water, everywhere, for everyone, not just the target country.

His sharpest point is structural, not moral: the presidential authority to authorize this has almost no check built into it. Two men, two keys, one authenticated order; that's the entire chain between a decision and execution.

The safeguard he says should exist, a Joint Chiefs chairman refusing the order outright, is the one he's watching for, and hasn't seen yet.

Malcolm is clear this is his own alarm, not confirmed policy. But his closing question is the one worth sitting with:

If this is being discussed and nobody in that room is willing to say no on the record, who exactly is the check left standing?

Thank you @MalcolmNance for our conversation

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Something that has held since Hiroshima is now reportedly on the table in White House strategy meetings.

Fmr U.S. Navy Intel Officer Malcolm Nance is not joking about this one.

"The posture of the United States has always been since Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the United States will not employ a nuclear weapon as a first strike unless the United States itself was attacked with a nuclear weapon."

If that line moves, nothing else matters.

@MalcolmNance

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 A 5-kiloton nuclear weapon used as a “demolition tool” to bury Iran’s nuclear program.

That is the scenario former U.S. Navy intelligence officer Malcolm Nance says has been discussed during the Iran war.

The idea: send troops to a suspected underground site, confirm enriched uranium is there, plant a small nuclear device and collapse the mountain on top of it.

At that point, the distinction between “nuclear weapon” and “nuclear tool” becomes a very dangerous exercise in semantics.

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Recent investigation reveals Trump illegally ordered the DOJ to remove his name from the Epstein files.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.

America is at war.

Trump’s decision to put our country at risk by handing the nation’s top intelligence job to a random political lackey is reckless, insulting, and dangerous.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
