If you need a refresher about the issues involved in release of Vol. 2 of Jack Smith’s report, you’re not alone. The case was briefed months ago, but has been sitting on the court’s docket waiting for oral argument. I wrote about it back then: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-pas...

Trump and US tech oligarchs signed an AI agreement that misspelled their own country’s name. Nobody outside the US has to call AI “super intelligence”—the document isn’t legally binding. Trump, whose name appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, called it “morally binding.”
The image shows Donald Trump's signature alongside a humorous typo that spells "Unites States" instead of "United States".
