Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

The bipartisan framework from @RepLoriTrahan and @JayObernolte is an important contribution to frontier AI governance. We may not support every provision, but we commend their leadership. Congress must address AI’s opportunities and risks.

[Lori Trahan @RepLoriTrahan]

The threats AI poses to our national security, safety and workforce are here and growing by the day.

@JayObernolte and I released draft legislation to protect workers, establish real accountability for the most powerful AI systems, and position the U.S. to lead on AI.

[Anthony Adragna @AnthonyAdragna]

NEWS: @SpeakerJohnson says @JayObernolte's comprehensive AI framework will be released tomorrow and it will be 300+ pages.

@PunchbowlNews subscribers had it first.

[Ned Price @nedprice]

The biggest news isn't that Trump is appointing someone without a national security background to a position that, by law, requires "extensive" experience. It's that Pulte earned Trump's trust by using **mortgage** records to pursue perceived political enemies. Now this top henchman will have access to some of our most sensitive intelligence and exquisite capabilities. That's why this is so noteworthy -- and concerning.

NEW: @Axios interviewed two dozen Jewish members of Congress and congressional candidates about their experiences w/ antisemitism and reviewed dozens of blatantly antisemitic voicemails, letters and emails to their offices.

Here’s what we found: https://t.co/QSW5WBgN56

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

71% of Americans have an unfavorable view of China, per Pew just a few weeks ago. Can we be serious please.

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

"DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS" is a red line, says the Chinese Embassy. You can't write better satire.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

Antisemitism is rising on the fringes of both parties, and silence only enables it.

In the @nytimes, I called out the antisemitism inside my own party and our failure to confront it head-on.

[Rep Josh Gottheimer @RepJoshG]

Today, too many Democrats are noticeably and shamefully silent when antisemitism comes from the far left. But there should be one response to those who express hatred toward any American: condemnation.

Hate is hate. It doesn’t get a pass because it comes from your side of the aisle.

If your worldview extends more grace to the Republican woman who voted for Trump (MTG) than it does to the Republican woman who did not and told others not to (Liz Cheney) then your worldview is pretty fucked imo.

[Natalie Wynn @ContraPoints]

It’s become a standard leftist view that Trumpism was a backlash to Obama not being socialist enough and I… don’t think that’s what happened lol

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Skepticism of corporate marketing and AI boosterism is always warranted, but I think the folks who accused Anthropic of overrating Mythos should check out this post by Mozilla developers indicating that the Firefox team fixed more security bugs in April using Mythos than in the past 15 months combined.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Wow.

The AI supply crunch is real. Frontier labs are desperate for compute. Musk has compute capacity but a meh model, and Anthropic has a fantastic model with weak capacity.

Now I wonder if Elon continues to refer to his new business partner as “woke AI,” “Misanthropic,” etc.

[Mike Sexton @MikeESexton]

Got asked at the @EffectvAltruism conference to watch someone's charging phone ... no one's gonna steal your phone! It's an EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM conference!!

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

Given the news today that Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people are losing their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the Garland DoJ stopping the JetBlue merger with Spirit Airlines was the right call. Perhaps it was but any analysis must consider as part of the equation the loss to so many families ro decide.

[Third Way Economic @ThirdWayEcon]

The CREATE AI Act is a no-brainer.
NAIRR would expand access to the tools innovators need to lead on AI--boosting competitiveness and spurring breakthroughs here at home.

Kudos to @SenToddYoung @SenatorHeinrich @SenatorRounds & @CoryBooker for their dedication to this work.

[Matt Shumer @mattshumer_]

People keep sending me this clip of @iamjohnoliver using my tweet as evidence that AI models don’t work well.

Just to clear up any confusion, with respect, the tweet was a) taken way out of context and b) extremely outdated.

The model in question (4o) is multiple generations old, and was shut down for being too sycophantic. Current models would not have behaved this way.

It’s sort of like looking at a Nokia flip phone and saying “this isn’t useful”, when an iPhone exists.

John, I’m a fan, and welcome any discussion here. Just want things to be accurate and not misleading!

[tré easton @treeaston]

I went into this evening's gathering with @kenyanmcduffie a soft supporter.

I left very excited to make him my next mayor. His passion for DC is palpable. His vision, experience, and focus are precisely what our nation's capital demands in this moment.

I hope you'll join me! https://t.co/5gV1aXIGFc
