Reuters (Dec. 9): “Lithuania on Tuesday declared a state of emergency and asked parliament to authorise military support for police and border guards after a wave of smuggler balloons repeatedly disrupted air traffic in recent months.”

"US manufacturing contracted for the ninth straight month in November, with factories facing slumping orders and higher prices for inputs as the drag from import tariffs persisted." (Reuters) Unpredictable, sweeping taxes on US factories are a poor policy for renewing our defense industrial base.

"I finally got around to watching 1984 — ya know, the one with John Hurt? Anyway, it was bleak, like really grim. You could feel the totalitarian system grinding this poor guy into a powder. So, I turned to my friend and I said to him, 'This movie is outrageous, man. I mean, it's really Orwellian!'"

To drive out bad political theology, you need to articulate good political theology. Matthew Hamilton (@Sir_Matthew_D) — Managing Director of Georgetown's Initiative for AI & Democratic Citizenship — does exactly this in his launch essay. Recommended. thepeaceofthecity.substack.com/p/friends-e...

A moratorium on state laws and comprehensive federal legislation on AI are dead in the water without sustained, focused leadership from the White House. More is needed if this has any hope of getting through.

In the wake of the continuing fallout from the congressional vote on "the Epstein files," you can expect the admin to be eager to push through new policy victories with legislation like this, but the effort will need more continuous "oomph" than the occasional Truth Social Post.

Tying AI laws to the NDAA is a high-risk, high-reward strategy for preemption advocates, especially as state-level GOP lawmakers feel energized by their efforts to regulate AI and halt federal legislation this summer.

State GOP lawmakers are skittish on AI and energized by their pushback this summer. Trump needs the full power of the bully pulpit and a strong legislative strategy if preemptive legislation has any hope of materializing.

Polymarket odds for an AI safety bill by EOY 2025 moved up slightly from 8% to 9% after POTUS's statement. Kalshi remains at 5% on whether "AI regulation becomes federal law this year." Not a lot of movement...
