Texas ban on selling smokable cannabis takes effect March 31.
Sometimes I feel living in Texas is like living in a Puritan settlement 400 years ago. They believe cannabis is a gateway drug. These are the same elected reps who deny medical care to women.

BREAKING: Sen. Chris Murphy just dropped a BOMBSHELL that blows a hole in Trump’s Iran war narrative after secret briefing. https://t.co/HgTrW45UpF

The Trump administration’s war with Iran just got even more alarming.

After sitting through a two-hour classified briefing, Senator Chris Murphy didn’t mince words about what he heard behind closed doors: the war is “totally incoherent.”

According to the Connecticut Democrat, the administration still cannot clearly explain what it is actually trying to accomplish — even to members of Congress tasked with overseeing the war.

“We are not going to be able to achieve any of our stated objectives,” Murphy said bluntly after the briefing.

And here’s the part that should send chills down every American’s spine: the objectives apparently keep changing.

Murphy revealed that the Department of Defense told senators in the latest briefing that destroying Iran’s nuclear program is not even an objective of the war — directly contradicting what Republican politicians like Senator Ted Cruz are currently telling the public on television.

Let that sink in.

Members of Congress are being told one thing behind closed doors while the American people hear something completely different.

Murphy also blasted the administration for bypassing the Constitution by launching the conflict without congressional authorization — and then refusing to hold public hearings where Americans could hear the real justification for the war.

Why the secrecy? Murphy says the answer is simple: if the public heard the real case, the war wouldn’t survive the political backlash.

“The American people would demand that their senator vote no,” he warned.

Meanwhile, the consequences are already mounting. American servicemembers have been killed. Oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz are under threat. Global markets are rattling. And everyday Americans could soon be paying thousands more every year for gas, groceries, and basic goods as the conflict disrupts the global economy.

And perhaps the most shocking possibility raised during the interview: the United States may have been pulled into the war largely because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed for it.

If true, Murphy warned, it raises a devastating question: How weak does the United States look if an ally can drag us into a war that damages our own national security interests?

Ten days into this conflict, the administration still can’t clearly explain why the war started — or how it ends. That’s not strategy. That’s chaos.

Dario Amodei just gave his first interview since the Pentagon blacklisted his company. The toll is visible on his face.

He was asked one question. What would you say to the President right now?

He didn’t hesitate.

Amodei: “We are patriotic Americans. Everything we have done has been for the sake of this country.”

Anthropic built their models to defend America. They were the first AI lab cleared for classified military systems. They wanted to help the warfighter.

But the Pentagon demanded unrestricted access to fully autonomous weapons and mass surveillance of American citizens.

Amodei drew the line.

The government responded with emergency Cold War powers. A supply chain designation normally reserved for foreign adversaries. A six-month federal phaseout ordered from Truth Social.

Amodei: “When we were threatened with supply chain designation and Defense Production Act, which are unprecedented intrusions into the private economy, we exercised our classic First Amendment rights to speak up and disagree with the government.”

The administration framed Anthropic’s refusal as anti-American.

Amodei’s response dismantled that framing in one sentence.

Amodei: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.”

Here is the deeper paradox nobody in Washington wants to say out loud.

We are in a geopolitical race against autocratic adversaries who use AI for mass surveillance of their own citizens and autonomous weapons with no human oversight.

The Pentagon demanded that Anthropic build those exact capabilities for America.

Amodei: “The red lines we have drawn, we drew because we believe that crossing those red lines is contrary to American values.”

You cannot defeat authoritarianism by adopting its methods.

You cannot defend the open society by forcing private companies to build its antithesis under threat of wartime emergency powers.

Anthropic held the line. Got blacklisted for it. And came out the other side saying the same thing they said going in.

That is what it actually looks like to mean it.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.

It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.

Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.

Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

@jewshido @speechboy71 An action being legal has nothing to do with what is moral and ethical. History is replete with laws that make an action illegal but are reprehensible. You don't even need to look past our shores.

Republicans have the majority in the Senate and the House, and won the presidency. Now it is the democrats' fault if they can't get funding passed. Put on your big boy pants and do your jobs. You are making me sick with your pandering.

@BillKristol I doubt it is the Pentagon's decision. Remember, they are his generals and admirals and his federal police force. We are on a dark road with no headlights.
