The Shangri La speech by @SecWar, in which he discusses every US ally & partner in the Indo-Pacific except Taiwan, echoes Dean Acheson's ill-fated 1950 address to the National Press Club in which he left South Korea outside the US defense perimeter. We know how that played out.
This year, Trump purchased more than $1 million of Dell stock.

Should coaches' opinions on playoff size matter?
Texas A&M coach Mike Elko: "Probably not particularly. Honestly. None of us are answering for the good of the sport. We’re answering for the good of ourselves."
Pope Leo called for artificial intelligence to be “disarmed” in his first papal encyclical — calling for major regulation to protect against potential risks, including war and economic dislocation.
Leo signed the text on May 15 — 135 years after his namesake, Pope Leo XIII, signed his own transformational document on workers' rights during the Industrial Revolution.
For nearly 400 years, popes have used encyclicals to impart Catholic teachings.
In his more than 42,000-word text, Leo wrote, “It is not enough to invoke ethics in the abstract; robust legal frameworks, independent oversight, informed users and a political system that does not abdicate its responsibility are required… a more moral AI is not enough if that morality is determined by a few.”

In the span of 48 hours, the U.S. government, acting on orders from the Trump Justice Department, did something no administration in American history has ever done before.
The agency created a nearly $1.8 billion fund, drawn from taxpayer money, designed to compensate allies of the president who claim they were mistreated by the Biden Justice Department.
Then, the administration permanently banned the IRS from ever examining President Donald Trump's prior tax returns or those of his sons, his company, or any affiliated trust. That move was quietly announced a day later.
Former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen reacts to these developments. Watch @GeoffRBennett's interview with him.
