Trump is actively trying to interfere in our elections.

@theallinpod @SenatorWarner @SenatorRounds #EconomyoftheFutureCommissionAct We should have a podcast on this legislation.
English
@MarkWarner I don’t understand the problem. Are you concerned that the Act would disenfranchise illegal immigrants?
English
The SAVE Act isn’t saving anyone.
It’s a regressive, backwards bill that threatens to disenfranchise millions.
I’m voting NO.
English
@RoKhanna Thanks for reminding me of Bill Clinton, a rich D who was president & who had sex with an intern.
English
These are wealthy & powerful individuals who use their networks & wealth to flaunt the law.
There are successful & rich people who have a patriotic duty to abide by the law & give back. They are economic patriots. But those who abuse the law must be held accountable.

Dems should be for the working class, not the Epstein class.
I plead guilty to coining the phrase.
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
In this op-ed, @ThirdWayTweet actually argues that "Epstein class" is an "age-old trope" pushed by "Jew-haters on the left."

@Acyn Unfortunately, these statements do not reflect well on the Administration.
English
Doocy: You said: they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait nobody expected that. We were shocked. Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation?
Trump: Nobody. Nobody. No no no no. The greatest experts—nobody thought they were going hit…
English
Trump’s economic policy is clear: tax everything you buy with illegal tariffs… then charge you more at the pump with a Middle East war that spikes gas prices, too.

@FetzInvests @amitisinvesting Yes. I think the software investment theme is not technolocgy; it is trust. Many can create “agents”. The crititcal question is: Can I trust this agent and sell my product, knowing I will get paid?
English
@Don8273 @amitisinvesting Agreed
Seems the US DOW has total trust in Palantir

Woah.
The Department of War is saying that after the Maduro Raid, Anthropic called Palantir and asked if their models had been used to help with the operation. Anthropic was not happy about their tech being involved.
Palantir then lets the DoW know about this because of the concerns Anthropic was bringing up which leads to the entire fall out as the DoW gets pissed off that Anthropic is trying to investigate highly classified information and essentially boss them around on how to use the tech.
This is pretty incredible but it once again reinforces something that most of the shorts don't really understand: Palantir is the most important software in the world and involved in almost every major geopolitical event.
Does that mean it will trade at a premium? Yes, but if valuation was the only concern, then it would have been very easy to always find an issue with Palantir. There is a much, much deeper story.
Anthropic's models orchestrated through Palantir's software is what allowed the government to successfully execute Midnight Hammer, if Claude leaves the picture...guess what doesn't? Palantir. Their environment will still be the structure by which any new model gets deployed and that is where ALL the value comes from, along with their ability to actually work highly classified and regulated environments with mission critical situations.
The market seems to be recognizing that again as Palantir gets above $150.

.@USWREMichael says the Maduro raid was the trigger point for the DoW’s conflict with Anthropic: “Palantir’s the prime contractor. [Anthropic] is the sub.” “One of [Anthropic’s] execs called Palantir and asked, ‘Was our software used in that raid?’” “So— they’re trying to get classified information. And implying— if they were used in that raid, that it might violate their terms of service.” “It raised enough alarm with Palantir, who has a trusted relationship with the Department, to tell me, and I’m like, ‘Holy shit— what if this software went down? Some guardrail kicked up? Some refusal happened for the next fight like this one and we left our people at risk?” “I went to @SecWar @PeteHegseth and told him what happened.” “That was like a ‘Woah’ moment for the whole leadership at the Pentagon that we’re potentially so dependent on a software provider without another alternative that has the right or ability to not only shut it off— maybe it’s a rogue developer who could poison the model to make it not do what you want, or trick you, or hallucinate purposefully.” “That culminated in the Tuesday dramatic meeting with Secretary Hegseth and me and Dario with the Friday deadline that got blown.” “I never really thought they wanted to make it.” @DoWCTO @emilmichael on @theallinpod

@FetzInvests @amitisinvesting The most important factor in AI software is trust. Trust will determine price.

@BillKristol Would you put limitations on George W? No. Stop being a political hypocrit and get back to your roots of professional journalism.
English
Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.
English
@LizMacDonaldFOX I have been unequivocal that the Ayatollah committed terrorism and was brutally violent. But this resolution said that the Iranian threat was imminent to the US. That is not true and a predicate for getting into a regime change, endless war. That is why I voted no.
English
Here are the House Democrats who among the 53 who voted no to reaffirming Iran is the world’s biggest state sponsor of terror, but voted yes to that in 2021:
•Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
•Ilhan Omar
•Rashida Tlaib
•Ayanna Pressley
•Pramila Jayapal
•Ro Khanna
English
@MarkWarner You’re on the intelligence committee. Don’t you perceive the brilliance of the Iran strategy? If Trump was a Democrat you would be supporting the Iran activity.
English
Gas prices have jumped twenty cents a gallon since Trump’s attacks on Iran.

@R_Thaler You are a respected professor of accomplishment. Why are you spending your brain on clickbait?

There has never been an administration as ignorant about economics as Trump's. Economists rightly love congestion pricing but Trump tried to kill it. nytimes.com/2026/03/03/nyr…

#Anthropic is getting punished for *refusing* to help the Pentagon build AI‑powered mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons — labeled a “supply chain risk” for insisting on a human in the loop.
Meanwhile, a lone engineer uses an Anthropic tool and accidentally discovers he can access camera feeds of thousands of appliances in more than 24 countries because of a security flaw. See The Week 3.6.26
The irony: we fight pitched political battles over headline‑grabbing, state AI programs while quietly sleepwalking into appliance‑level mass surveillance in our living rooms.
If we regulate the Pentagon and ignore the vacuum, doorbell, and TV, we lose.
We need a framework that protects the public from *both* transparent, state‑sponsored AI use *and* opaque, privately deployed AI in consumer devices. Treat the quiet threats with the same seriousness as the loud ones.

...So what does the resolution mean in the context of full-fledged combat operations with Iran firing hundreds of missiles and attacking various countries? "Imminent" is undefined. The resolution appears entirely feckless and futile given the current conditions.
English
Here is the Kaine War Powers Resolution demanding the complete cessation of combat operations against Iran. kaine.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… However, at the very end, there is this line: "Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack."

@RepDonBeyer You forget the embassy kidnapping during Carter and all the other deaths and injuries. If Trump was a D you would be cheering him on. Hypocracy reigns current D party.
English
The Trump administration is blatantly lying to the American people about the war.

HEGSETH: “We didn’t start this war. But under President Trump, we are finishing it.”
English
Do you want Barak Obama back again?
A. YES
B. NO
Everyone better answer this one correctly!!

@VraserX This should have been discussed before contract award to #Anthropic. This company seeks a change in its contract after its customer became dependent on it.
English
Just watched Dario Amodei on CBS News. He’s right.
Calling this designation unprecedented, punitive, and retaliatory takes guts when the Pentagon is involved. Anthropic drawing clear lines on mass surveillance and autonomous weapons is leadership, not ideology.
Backing that with my wallet.
Subscribing to Claude Max right now.
