Paxton is blatantly lying. He wanted to let the man plead guilty to two misdemeanors and serve just one day in jail. It was the judge who said, “One day. Seriously? Somebody has to sell me on the wisdom of it” then later insisted on a 60-day jail sentence.👇 www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Today, Pranshu Verma of the Washington Post reported that earlier this month, the U.S. and Russia worked together to weaken a United Nations plan to regulate AI weapons. They stripped out a provision to make sure humans review the targets AI has selected for a military strike—a provision that would likely have avoided the U.S. strike on the Iranian school at the start of the Iran War—and took out requirements that AI systems must act in a “predictable” and “reliable” manner. They also removed a requirement that those using the systems take “ethical considerations” into account.
