🚨 ANALYSIS: Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel weeks before the midterms, despite analysts doubting the deal will meaningfully lower prices. Zelenskyy accuses Trump of using Ukraine’s peace talks as a “smokescreen” for his Putin deal. The full story is worse than you think.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

I'm not a lawyer. My first guess would be either that it is, or that it's not because the order was specifically about White House access, and not airplane or out-of-town access. Like a two year old (or a sociopath of any age), he's going to test every boundary, both re: scope & re: consequences.

Are We Losing Control of AI? What’s Driving New Fears
For years, as artificial intelligence has evolved from the stuff of sci-fi movies to an app ordinary people have installed on their phones, tech leaders and some AI insiders have talked about the potential for it to escape human control and wreak havoc on society. Those fears have become impossible to ignore in recent days, driven by advances in the technology, a series of cybersecurity breaches involving AI agents, and new warnings from rank-and-file AI staffers.
