Neguse: Where is this company headquartered? Noem: I don’t know. Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out. You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

🔥@grahamformaine: “Watching people who have no idea what any of this looks like or feels like disgusts me… saying we just need to be prepared for more casualties because ‘that’s what happens’ — it’s not what fucking happens to THEM, it’s what happens to US.”

I did not campaign for this. I did not donate money for this. I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is heartbreaking and tragic. And how many more innocent will die? What about our own military? This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be. Shame!

Timeline: 2014: Trump says Obama will invade Iran because he's not a good enough negotiator to get a deal with them 2015: Obama, with the backing of the EU, China, Russia and others, gets a deal with them 2018: Trump cancels deal bc it was Obama's and says he can negotiate a better one. 2018-2020: Trump can't negotiate one. Arms control experts and Trump officials start to grumble that scrapping Obama's deal was probably a bad idea. 2025: Trump still can't negotiate a new deal 2025: Israel launches an attack on Iran. Drags Trump in. Trump claims Iran's nuclear capacity was wiped out 2025-2026: Trump still can't negotiate a deal 2026: Trump launches a regime change war on Iran, at Israel's goading

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇 "As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions. Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation. So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East. Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

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.

Anthropic has rejected demands from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling for full lawful use of its AI technology. CEO Dario Amodei says that AI is important to military defense, but there must be safeguards against use for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. The Pentagon said it will not let “any company dictate the terms.” 60 Minutes spoke with Dario and Anthropic President Daniela Amodei in November, and this is how they described the importance of “bumpers and guardrails” to manage the risk of AI.

10 years ago today: Warriors vs Thunder 2016 RS (The GREATEST Regular Season game in NBA History) Final 20 seconds of the fourth + OT! Including the infamous "DOUBLE BANG" call on a Steph Curry Game Winner 😤

Republicans are lying to you. Democrats didn’t stand because Trump lied about Iryna Zarutska and blamed them for her murder. He claimed the killer “came in through open borders.” — blaming Democrats. The man was literally born in Charlotte, NC. He also claimed democrats released the violent criminal on cashless bail. Yes he was out in cashless bail for making a fake 911 call. Not for a violent crime.

This will have you in tears. Stop letting them divide us. ❤️

There are people in this country who rooted against their own country and own team in this game. The team who wanted to share their victory with the children of their teammate who was killed by a drunk driver. Perspective.

I don’t follow hockey, but this had me tearing up. They brought their teammate’s (who was killed by a drunk driver) kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate the moment. 🥹

No. 3️⃣ for @chriskatz1 #GoodToGreat | #WinnersWin

Wow

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

🚨 BREAKING: CBS reportedly refused to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico after pressure tied to Trump’s FCC. Let that sink in. A network news giant backing down because a president doesn’t like the politics. Trump isn’t afraid of “fake news.” He’s afraid of losing Texas. Here is the full 14 minutes for you to see what they tried to censor.
