Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Hold the phone, are you telling me that the guy on the right created a chatbot that is producing child pornography? And are you also telling me that the President whose campaign he funded and who was Jeffrey Epstein's "best friend" for a while wants to prevent any form of AI regulation? Weird.

This is my second Watergate-a-day post today, so we might have to change the name.
DHS reportedly fast-tracked a contract worth almost $1 billion to a company led by a donor to a pro-Trump nonprofit group where one of the officials overseeing the deal previously worked.
That raises serious ethics concerns.

Im „religionspolitischen Rückblick“ des DLF geht es beim Katholizismus um den Papst, bei den Protestanten um ihre Friedensschrift - und bei den Muslimen geht es um Islamismus und wie toll es sei, dass das Innenministerium Ahmad Mansour für die Islamismus-Taskforce berufen habe. Geht’s noch offener.
