Yeah, it’s usually better to consult with allies BEFORE making force posture decisions in a theater of operations. The reaction of the Poles - and others - indicate that wasn’t the approach.
Sean Parnell@SeanParnellASW

STATEMENT: The Department of War has reduced the total number of Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) assigned to Europe from four to three. This returns us to the levels of BCTs in Europe in 2021. This decision was the result of a comprehensive, multilayered process focused on U.S. force posture in Europe. This is resulting in a temporary delay of the deployment of U.S. forces to Poland, which is a model U.S. ally. The Department will determine the final disposition of these and other U.S. forces in Europe based on further analysis of U.S. strategic and operational requirements, as well as our allies’ own ability to contribute forces toward Europe’s defense. This analysis is designed to advance President Trump’s America First agenda in Europe and other theaters, including by incentivizing and enabling our NATO allies to take primary responsibility for Europe’s conventional defense. Secretary Hegseth spoke with Polish Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz earlier today, and the Department will remain in close contact with our Polish counterparts as this analysis proceeds, including to ensure that the United States retains a strong military presence in Poland. Poland has shown both the ability and resolve to defend itself. Other NATO allies should follow suit. The Department will provide more information at the appropriate time, in the appropriate setting.

Just brutal numbers. For the foreign policy blobsters, impossible not to look at the abysmal polling re the war in Iran and wonder how resumption of military operations is even politically feasible. Unless Trump just doesn’t care and is ok with sinking the party in November. So Trump in a box-threats of resuming the war no one believes he wants to carry through on, or a deal with Iran that would require real compromise on the US maximalist demands, which will lead to charges of a JCPOA 2.0 (that he could have had without the war).

It's amusing that Orban's corrupt pro-Kremlin "nationalist" autocratic regime was a model for Trumpism in how to subvert and loot a democracy. Now it may be a model in how to repair one. The US definitely needs it.

LEAKED AUDIO FROM META ALL-HANDS AHEAD OF LAYOFFS TOMORROW Mark Zuckerberg, in his own words, told Meta employees their devices are being tracked to train AI models. His reasoning? Meta employees are smarter than the contract workers the rest of the industry uses for data labeling. So instead of hiring outside help, Meta is turning its own workforce into training data. "The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through these contractors." He wants the AI to learn how "really smart people use computers" by watching employees work. He says the content is "stripped out" and none of it is used for surveillance or performance tracking. Then he admitted the rollout was botched but said Meta intentionally kept employees in the dark because leaking competitive AI strategy would help rivals. "It is not strategically in your interest for us to communicate everything in all the detail that we normally would on this." Translation: We're watching you, we told you as little as possible, and we did it on purpose. AI is replacing the contractor. Then the employee trains the AI. Then the AI replaces the employee. This story and this company keeps getting weirder.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

LEAKED AUDIO: In an all-hands meeting on April 30, Mark Zuckerberg tells employees that he's training AI on them ahead of mass layoffs. "The AI models learn from watching really smart people do things... The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks. So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company."

Trump’s settlement with DOJ is even worse than we knew. A secret add-on to the agreement was revealed today. It is an unconscionable betrayal of the American people by the president and Acting Attorney General. youtube.com/shorts/_nz15A6…

🚨 H-1B TRAFFICKERS just got caught red-handed. DOL finds they trafficked a worker and stole $66,314 in required wages. Consequence? They paid it back immediately… and walked away with ZERO fine, ZERO penalty, ZERO debarment…. As of now… A literal slap on the wrist for human trafficking. This is the “enforcement” we get? Trafficking victims are coming for blood now.
Banias Law@BaniasLaw

#DOL issued a determination letter today for a trafficking victim finding the #H1B #Trafficker failed to pay $$$$$ in wages. And rather than dispute the finding, they immediately paid the assessment in full. It's only the beginning of a trafficking case, but its a good start. #WH4
