Enough is enough! Portland is being overrun by brown skinned immigrants without papers and don't speak a lick of English! Thank you, Sir, for scrambling those F-15s and Blackhawks that keep making a racket over my house! #WarzoneDispatches #Portland

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad."

And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

Lawfare @lawfaremedia.org · Sep 8

Last Fri., Anthropic paid $1.5B to settle a copyright case. Stewart Baker argues that this type of litigation could hinder AI innovation and looks at how President Trump could invoke the Defense Production Act to ensure the U.S. wins the AI race against China.

Copyright plaintiffs are squeezing enormous sums from AI companies. That's bad for the US and great for China. It's time for President Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act and resolve the…
