Can any legal experts tell me who might have standing in court to challenge something so barbaric and abhorrent? Does @aclu.org have standing? Can @stevevladeck.bsky.social, @harrylitman.bsky.social, @asharangappa.bsky.social and others weigh in?

So Trump's new AI chatbot? Creepy. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social saw this on Bluesky and gave the prompt "play minecraft" a test. This is what happened:

You wouldn't know it from reading the headlines, but the president's downward mental health spiral is the biggest story in America right now We won't salvage democracy unless the media and pols start speaking the truth about Trump's damaged mind My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

We need to find the words for Trump’s madness before things blow up | Will Bunch
The media and politicians haven’t pinned down anything resembling a suitable description for a president’s downward spiral or the looming battle for U.S. democracy.

I hope you'll press for release of Grand Jury transcripts. A major outstanding question is how they secured an indictment in the first place.

All the Americans today saying, “ #FIFA and #Trump are corrupt, but that shouldn’t affect the players, I’m glad Balogun can play!” So typically American; only object to corruption when it doesn’t benefit them. 🙄

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.

So was the idea to let Trump have all the glory? Did Johnson specifically punt to set Trump up as the TSA savior? Or does this all go back to ICE funding?

Fascinating to replay this clip several times focusing exclusively on Rubio as Trump talks. Rubio rhetorically tries to paint a narrative of the nobility of US actions. Trump goes in and sabotages it. Rubio: head down; fingers digging at one point into the table.

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.
In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.
This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

Would love it if you would elaborate! Including a giant slab of beef near the top of the pyramid diagram seems a little . . . sketchy. Huge emphasis on protein seems good for some demographics, like post-menopausal women.
