"Thousands of Americans have bigger public platforms than Pratt did at the start of his race. All of them have access to the same AI hype tools his campaign uses.
So, if there’s going to be a challenge to an orderly handover of Republican leadership in 2028, it is far less likely to come from one of the usual suspects — Rubio, Ted Cruz, Glenn Youngkin and so on — than from a Pratt-like fireball aimed at Washington."

Latest on the AI executive order Trump signed today on advanced AI models:
It comes after momentum was jump started by a small, high-level meeting at the White House yesterday about next steps.
The initial AI EO on this issue was abruptly postponed in late May after David Sacks voiced his concerns to the president at the last minute.
Sacks was dialed into yesterday’s Oval Office meeting by phone.
Scoop: President Trump has signed a scaled back AI executive order that has a shorter government review period of 30 days before, down from 90 days in the preview version, two White House officials told me.
“Musk and those guys, they were political amateurs. They let themselves get demonized. They went a little bit too far. They did some dumb stuff, but JD Vance is a bright guy,” said a person close to the White House
👀
JD Vance’s fraud task force wants to preserve the most politically popular elements of DOGE — rooting out waste on behalf of the American taxpayer — but Vance is avoiding fights with cabinet officials and the slipshod practices that defined Musk’s time in DC.
“Because of the way it’s structured, you don’t have a situation where agencies feel like there are staffers layering over them forcing them to do things they don’t want to do.”
