Defund ICE. Take its entire budget and devote it to a Manhattan Project that can devise and implement sound guardrails for AI, and figure out how to stop what can and should be stopped in the way of superintelligence and recursive self-improvement. AI is far, far more dangerous than immigrants.

this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie
Donald Trump posts an image on his Truth Social account. It shows a new uniform for US Space Force members, comprising of an all-black outfit with knee-high black leather boots, black cap, and minimalist looking suit.

The national message should be super simple: "Trump's made billions since he went back to Washington. How are you doing?" This was Péter Magyar's approach to ousting Viktor Orbán: focusing not on his insults to democracy, but rather on the corruption & economic exclusion that have been the result.

Five months ago, on Feb. 26, 2026, the Strait of Hormuz was and open international waterway, as it had been for decades. Five months later, thanks to Trump's war, the Strait is closed, we've lost 18 service members and spent ~$100b, and the U.S. is neither as liked nor as trusted nor as feared.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.
