"I don’t think we have a deal with these guys. They break every deal they make," Trump said. Then in the same speech he said, "they’ll be ready very soon." None of it amounts to anything. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social:

Trump Can’t Stop Pretending the Iran War Is Over
Just as he lied about COVID quickly going away, he insists Iran is desperate for peace. The attacks on U.S. service members and the Strait of Hormuz suggest otherwise.

somehow "the president installed an Ultimate Fighting Championship arena on the White House grounds that is larger than the White House itself" doesn't even begin to capture the world-historical degree of trashiness of what Trump has achieved here. it looks so much worse than that sentence sounds

I’m heading into the hospital shortly to round on patients, and if any of them are acting like the president, I’ll be looking for their nurse and asking how long they’ve been this way, whether they received sedating medications, and if the primary team is aware of their mental status changes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

To be clear this is a misread of the situation. Was Friar testing the waters? Sure. Did she think the waters would be fully of angry fish? No archive.ph/2025.11.06-0...
In addition to OpenAI’s deals with chipmakers, the ChatGPT maker is also eying a broad mix of financing vehicles to fund its infrastructure efforts. Friar said OpenAI is “looking for an ecosystem of banks [and] private equity” to support its ambitious plans. She also hinted at a role for the US government to “backstop the guarantee that allows the financing to happen,” but did not elaborate on how this would work.
Asked for clarification, an OpenAI spokesperson said Friar was speaking in the context of the broader AI industry. There are currently no immediate plans about OpenAI pursuing a federal backstop, the spokesperson said.
