Katie Phang: "[Todd Blanche] says the Privacy Act has to be read in conjunction with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and that it's totally proper for him to hide and obfuscate and protect the identities of enablers, rapists, traffickers of children. He thinks that's fine."

Something about this photo really got to me just now. Seeing this man simply smiling and having a nice time at a concert knowing the constant attacks he has faced from our own government just makes my heart smile. Jack Smith is a true hero and American patriot.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis privately tore into Trump in texts obtained by Politico:
Graphic featuring Donald Trump on the left and Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on the right, with two large iMessage-style text bubbles attributed to Tillis overlaid across the bottom. In the first message, Tillis tells Trump that Trump “NEVER” threatened him with a primary challenge, says Trump may have him confused with other Republicans he has threatened, and adds that if Trump had threatened him directly, he would have told him to “fck yourself” and immediately announced his retirement. He ends, “Save those threats and head games for cowards and fools.” In the second message, Tillis writes, “I still want to help but I don’t take this bullsht from anyone, including you Mr. President,” adding, “Save that sh*t for the cowards who don’t care if you fail. I care if you fail and right now we are failing.”

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.

Q: If Johnson called the House back, they would have to immediately vote on Whiskey Pete Hegseth impeachment and not long after vote on Epstein, right? www.axios.com/newsletters/...
Tomorrow's Trump-Johnson AI summit with top tech CEOs suddenly looks a lot more consequential than it did just 72 hours ago.

🤖 Why it matters: Speaker Mike Johnson's preferred solution on AI — to let the companies take the lead on hashing out their own guardrails — is colliding with evidence that they're struggling to control their own creations.

🔥 In the last three days alone:

Axios scooped that AI companies are probing tens of thousands of incidents from frontier AI, including "bypassing guardrails, creating message boards, escaping sandboxes, website hijacking, self-prompting or seeking to bypass monitors."
The state of Florida asked a court for a temporary injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, saying the company can't self-regulate.
AI pioneers warned that AI could self-improve so quickly that the "intelligence explosion" would leave governments and institutions without much time to respond.
⛔️ Zoom in: Johnson has rebuffed calls to bring the House back into session, arguing lawmakers don't have anything ready to pass, while warning against the dangers of overregulation.
