NEW: As AI companies provoke intense scrutiny, former Obama White House official Jay Carney has joined an effort to “rebuild bonds” between Democrats and the AI industry. Dem operatives are joining the AI industry in droves – we’ve tracked over 100 former Biden officials who made similar moves.
Jay Carney’s new job: Rebuild tech’s bridge to Democrats

Jay Carney is heading back to Silicon Valley’s political trenches. Carney, the former Obama press secretary who left Airbnb this summer, has joined SV Angel, Ron Conway’s early-stage venture capital firm, to run a new initiative called Project Blueprint.

Its purpose is to rebuild bonds between leaders in the artificial intelligence sector and Democrats who are demanding new rules to regulate the technology.

The United States remains our most loyal customer for Iranian-made humiliation. Loyal customers receive their consequences in ruins.

Some customers just keep paying.Top tweet from Iran in Ghana:

So we hit Camp Titian first. Marines base.
Then we fired ballistic missiles. Their helicopters didn't even get off the ground. Like, literally they're scrap now.
After that Ali Al Salem base. We lit up the base commander's quarters and the drone hangars. Ceiling became floor. It's an open-air bedroom now. 
And THEN. Al Dhafra and Al Minhad. Their radars saw our drones coming. Then their radars stopped seeing anything.

Newkirk vs. AIPAC pet Stanton is tight and rapidly moving. In a string of progressive victories, we've also seen near-miss disappointments in races that flew under the radar, like #COSen and #NY06. Now is the time to mobilize support to bring home another insurgent win in #AZ04!

We find Newkirk's rise powered by a strong desire for change. By 45-34, #AZ04 voters want Dems to replace Hakeem Jeffries as leader if the party takes back Congress. National progressive stars have huge favorability, including Bernie Sanders (86), AOC (83) and Mamdani (81).

I was on to Gillibrand in 2010. www.salon.com/2010/04/26/s...
New Yorkers expect their senators to be heavyweights, like Bobby Kennedy, Jacob Javits, Pat Moynihan, Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer. Gillibrand clearly isn’t that, at least in the voters’ eyes. A one-term, moderate upstate congresswoman before Gov. David Paterson picked her to replace Clinton, she’s had massive assistance from her mentor Schumer, from many of Clinton’s ex-staffers, and from the Obama White House, which strong-armed several eager top-tier Democratic challengers out of her way.

Despite these advantages, Gillibrand’s brief performance in office has been mocked and criticized, and her ratings are stalled. She is winning only by default. A bizarre near-challenge from former Tennessee congressman (and occasional New Yorker) Harold Ford and an even more far-fetched trial balloon from billionaire Daily News publisher Mort Zuckerman only served to showcase her vulnerability.

🇨🇳 China Invokes Blocking Statute for First Time

China’s Ministry of Commerce has for the first time activated its 2021 Blocking Rules, ordering all Chinese firms and individuals not to comply with U.S. sanctions targeting five independent Chinese oil refineries accused of purchasing Iranian crude.

Beijing called the U.S. measures, imposed under two executive orders, an “unjustified” and “improper” use of extraterritorial law.

The move puts multinational companies operating in both markets in direct legal conflict: compliance with U.S. sanctions now risks violating Chinese law, and vice versa. Global banks and firms with dollar exposure face secondary sanctions risk if they continue dealing with the affected refineries.

Analysts describe the order as a significant step toward competing legal frameworks for global trade, accelerating the path to potential economic “decoupling” between the two powers.Henry Gao
@henrysgao
MOFCOM just invoked the blocking statute for the first time, ordering all firms not to recognise, enforce, or comply with US sanctions imposed under EO 13902 & 13846 targeting 5 Chinese teapot refineries for their involvement in Iranian oil transactions.

The decoupling is coming
