I've been arguing that Trump's fraudulent Fraud Task Force looked like Stephen Miller disinformation. www.cbsnews.com/news/stephen...
Miller is also in touch multiple times a week with the Deputy Attorney General's office to discuss fraud and immigration cases, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

Dream window for the #USMNT. 🇺🇸 Four games. 13 debuts. 8 teenagers. Four debutants with goals. 12 goals scored. Two wins over South American opposition. And clean sheet wins over your two biggest regional rivals, Mexico & Canada. New faces. Young talent. Big results. #USMNT

Cook Political Report just shifted the Kansas Senate race from Lean Republican to Toss Up. Trump won Kansas by 16 points, 57-41. Hard to know what to make of this, but it sure looks as if there are now many paths to a Dem majority.

I agree with this but also it’s really important to distinguish within your own thinking why this is not analogous to “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Which is to say…in the rush to declare AI as unworthy of blame in itself, it’s very easy to actually argue it is not dangerous at all.
