As Trump weighed endorsing Ken Paxton, he was told that damaging revelations were likely to surface, people familiar with the conversations say. Now, the decision to endorse the Texas attorney general looks like Trump’s biggest gamble of the midterms. on.wsj.com/4yh77Hk

Ossoff: This week, we were warned again of existential risk to the human species. And what fills us with dread is the crushing weakness of our politics against the massive stakes of our times. Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the new intelligence they’re creating risks human extinction. Congress debates youth sports, and the president builds a ballroom. An ancient establishment barely capable of email sleepwalks into a technological revolution while the president dismantles precautions and calls us fools for worrying. On day one, Donald Trump rescinded the AI safety order meant to guard against catastrophic risks, including the engineering of bioweapons. Meanwhile, Don Junior’s 1789 Capital bought big-money stakes in data centers and AI labs. The Emiratis’ spy chief committed $500 million to the Trump family crypto business, and four months later, the Trump administration granted the Emirates the rights to buy our most sensitive AI chips. See, a capable president would move swiftly to secure and reassure the American people, rush inspectors into frontier labs, fortify the nation against bioterrorism, demand legislation from Congress, and lead the world toward an AI treaty. But President Trump is compromised.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

Hunter Biden: "When my dad was president, I didn't do any business. I sold paintings. I made and average of $225,000 a year. Maher: Whatever you made its pennies compared to what Don Jr. is making, I mean billions. Hunter: In the last 500 days of this administration, Don Jr's company has taken in over $3.4B in DOD contracts. He got a $640M loan by DOD. Jared gets paid over $100M in fees by the Saudis for a $6.5B fund that he controls which is all Gulf state money. It is absurd."

BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.

Another way to phrase this would be: “Trump launders millions in taxpayer funds to his friends through his DOJ — and is giving himself $10 billion.” This is the most corrupt presidency ever — and it’s not even close.

The bald eagle almost disappeared from the lower 48. Now it’s one of the greatest wildlife comebacks in American history. America's 250th birthday hits different when you remember that.

Ron Paul on the Iran War: "President Trump listened to the Neocons and Netanyahu instead of his MAGA base and other voices of caution. Regime change wars never work. When the smoke clears we may see billions wasted on another war - just what Trump promised he would not do."

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
