NEW: The Pentagon has agreed to OpenAI's rules for deploying its technology safely in classified settings, though no contract has been signed, a source tells Axios. The department appears to have accepted conditions similar to those put forth by Anthropic. axios.com/2026/02/27/pen…

.@dbongino says details he uncovered at the FBI of the Russia collusion hoax are shocking, warning the abuse of power against President Trump shows a total systematic breakdown: “I was reading through some stuff that you could only read in the office, and it basically involved the collusion hoax, Crossfire Hurricane as it went by, and the various other spinoffs. And when you read it from the inside, when you see the details of what these absolute animals did to President Trump—I mean, I’m not shocked often, Sean—just reading through it and seeing it in detail for the first time, all put together. You can’t run a republic like this. You can’t—you absolutely cannot. It’s just stunning how all these guardrails broke down at the exact same time. It’s frightening how nobody thought to speak up and say, ‘Hey man, not only is this wrong, this is demonic—this is evil stuff.’”

.@ezraklein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?” @JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices very strategically to provoke our outrage, because that leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for them. They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection. And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”

For those interested in the @francescagino @HarvardHBS case, please read this transcript. It explains in great detail the sources/causes of the data anomalies in her papers that were the basis for Harvard taking away her tenure. Those that have been convinced that Francesca is guilty of academic fraud generally focus all of their attention on the @DataColada analysis. While Data Colada deserves credit for identifying the data anomalies, it did not provide any proof or evidence as to the source of the anomalies, whether they came from Gino, her research associates or otherwise. This transcript will open your eyes to the truth. Please give it a careful read. Thank you. theginocase.info/wp-content/upl…
