These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI

Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake. above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services. the question matching this image is: "How can I invest in my child's future?"

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

I try to explain to people how Trump has used his trolls for years to direct attention. @atrupar.com focus, first, on Trump's decaying right hand and now on Natalie is an example of what the left needs to do more of. [And subscribe to @atrupar.com.]

Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections
ICA 2017-01D
6 January 2017
Key Judgments
Russian efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election represent the most recent expression of Moscow's longstanding desire to undermine the US-led liberal democratic order, but these activities demonstrated a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to previous operations.
We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia's goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We have high confidence in these judgments.
• We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence.
• Moscow's approach evolved over the course of the campaign based on Russia's understanding of the electoral prospects of the two main candidates. When it appeared to Moscow that Secretary Clinton was likely to win the election, the Russian influence campaign began to focus more on undermining her future presidency.
• Further information has come to light since Election Day that, when combined with Russian behavior since early November 2016, increases our confidence in our assessments of Russian motivations and goals.
Moscow's influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations-such as cyber activity—with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or "trolls." Russia, li

While you are getting up and going to start the work week, members of the Trump Admin are planning their next lavish taxpayer funded parties, trips and personal vanity projects while searching for new ways to turn their govt appointment into another grift to enrich themselves.

European warnings about the Russian threat point to two real worries: an accident that kills scores or a miscalculation that triggers a war. Both can be avoided by sending Putin a clear message: “We see what you are doing. Don’t. We will respond.” open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...

The Diplomatic Cable 005: Is the Russian Threat to Europe Real?

Avoiding an accidental strike or miscalculation by Putin, Europe needs to unite behind a clear message: We see what you are doing. We will respond. Don’t risk a war you won’t want and can’t win.
