TOMORROW: SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in a GOP attempt to strike down Mississippi’s five-day post-election grace period for late mail-in ballots. If the Court sides with Republicans, tens of millions of voters nationwide could be disenfranchised. Democracy Docket’s Ashley Cleaves explains👇

BREAKING: US Treasury eases oil sanctions on Iran, including permiting the sale of Iranian crude and refined products into the United States. Scott Bessent calls it a "narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea."

FBI Director Kash Patel@FBIDirectorKash

The @FBI has identified cyber actors associated with Russian Intelligence Services targeting users of commercial messaging applications, including Signal. The campaign targets individuals of high intelligence value, including current and former U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists.   Globally, this effort has resulted in unauthorized access to thousands of individual accounts. After gaining access, the actors can view messages and contact lists, send messages as the victim, and conduct additional phishing from a trusted identity. It's important for you to be aware and take action - this vulnerability is not with the application - but you as the end user.   The FBI and CISA have released a joint PSA to help you identify this activity and protect your accounts: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA26…

I don’t think there’s ever been en a technology whose builders constantly promise that, if they succeed, tens of millions of jobs will be destroyed and the world might end.

AI is deeply unpopular. According to Pew, sadly only 17% of Americans think AI will have a positive impact. In China, 83% believe AI will be positive. A token tax & political backlash is coming unless the narrative changes. 🇺🇸👀🧐

At high stakes Pentagon meeting today Sec Hegseth gave Anthropic head Dario Amodei ultimatum to allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic’s AI model for mass domestic surveillance and kinetic autonomous operations without human oversight or face censure and be labeled “supply chain threat.” According to a source familiar: The meeting was cordial, not a dressing down, not a screaming match, all business. Hegseth praised the Anthropic product but then said if by Friday Anthropic does not agree to the Pentagon’s use of the model without restrictions, then Hegseth would terminate the contract and use the Defense Production Act to force Anthropic to comply AND/OR designate Anthropic a supply chain threat and national security risk. (EDIT: Both are mutually exclusive. You can’t be a supply chain risk but also invoke the DPA to say that the country needs this product so much for national security that it will override any restrictions put in place by the company that limits govt access to the product. Both cannot be true.) At issue is Anthropic’s two stipulations that its advanced AI model currently used in the Pentagon’s classified systems is NOT used for autonomous kinetic operations (Anthropic currently requires human oversight of autonomous operations when used to kill things for safety reasons because they don’t know how the autonomous system will react and could even endanger soldiers using the model; soldiers and others could lose control of the model and automatically start killing large groups without humans in the “kill chain.”) Second Anthropic bars its models from being used for mass domestic surveillance. Hegseth wants these restrictions lifted. According to a source familiar with the talks, Anthropic has never objected to the use of its models for “legitimate military operations.” It also told the Hegseth it never complained to the Pentagon or Palantir about the use of its models in the Maduro raid.

i'm just trying to get an understanding of how the government's position is AI should be used to mass surveil Americans and fire weapons without any human involvement and it's the bottom-line minded private sector saying: eh... i think that's too much.
Sam Stein@samstein

Just so I understand this. Anthropic's leadership is saying, hey, we have this amazing product we are comfortable with you using provided you don't use it for mass surveillance of Americans or to have weapons fire without humans involved. And the Pentagon is saying, no?

Take a look at this video. And tell me that ICE as it now exists and operates is consistent with living in a free country.
Jesus Freakin Congress@TheJFreakinC

🚨 BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents once again threaten to illegally arrest a U.S. citizen… for standing on a public sidewalk and filming them. Yes. Really. In the video, in Beaverton, Oregon, multiple agents swarm a man who is doing nothing more than observing and recording from a public sidewalk, something that is 100% legal and protected by the First Amendment. An agent claims they “know who he is” and accuses him of driving erratically and being “a danger to the public.” Which is rich, coming from an agency with a long history of hitting people with vehicles, assaulting women and children, and “accidentally” firing or dropping loaded firearms. But, even so, they are not police and cannot arrest someone for a traffic violation. Then the threats start. “You are interfering with our operations.” “You could be arrested.” “We will arrest you.” Again, the man is standing on a sidewalk. Not blocking anyone. Not touching anyone. Not saying anything beyond asserting his rights. Another agent jumps in with, “You were following us yesterday.” Cool story. Still not illegal. They repeatedly claim he has “interfered with operations,” yet, the only behavior they can actually point to is… observing them. Existing near them. Filming them. When the man calmly says, “I’m not interfering,” the response is: “If you continue, you will be in handcuffs.” Let’s be crystal clear about what that means: ICE agents are threatening to arrest a U.S. citizen for continuing to legally observe and film them in his own neighborhood. When the man states the obvious, “I’m not breaking the law and you know it,” the agent completely loses it. He steps inches from the man’s face, points at him, shoves into his shoulder or chest, and screams, “One more time and I will put you in handcuffs.” This isn’t law enforcement. This is intimidation. The man tells him to get off him. The agent responds, “No, I’ll stand right here, pal. Right here all day,” while continuing to press into him. The citizen points out the setup perfectly: “If I touch you, you’re going to arrest me, right?” Exactly. That’s the game. That’s when the agent snaps completely, screaming that the man is “worthless” and has “no honor.” Which… feels like projection. This video shows exactly what ICE and Border Patrol are doing across the country: They are trying to scare people into not filming. They are trying to bully citizens out of exercising their rights. And when intimidation doesn’t work, they escalate. Because they know that cameras expose them. So here’s the takeaway: Always film. State your rights calmly. Keep your hands visible and on your phone. Narrate everything that’s happening. They want silence. They want fear. They want no witnesses. Don’t give it to them.

Rick Scott describing the Trump administration's efforts in Venezuela -- described by Rubio as a law enforcement operation -- as a widespread regime change in the Western Hemisphere, aimed at spreading democracy.

Rick Scott: "This is the start of changing Venezuela, then we're gonna fix Cuba, Nicaragua will get fixed, next year we'll get a new president in Colombia. Democracy is coming back to this hemisphere."

Wild thing about the Epstein files is they're literally just sitting there all in one place and could be released at any time. FBI and DOJ conducted an exhaustive review of their Epstein holdings and found 300GB worth of data earlier this year.
