This is the entire game and explains everything we’ve seen since 2016. It wasn’t that Russia had blackmail on him—it’s that he admires their system.
Chris Murphy: "It appears as if America is trying to align itself with dictators, that Donald Trump wants us to have our closest relationships with despots all around the world, because that makes it easier for him to transition American into a kleptocratic oligarchy."

The Elon Musk playbook:

1) kill govt agencies investigating him

2) remove govt officials who could stop him

3) kill govt contracts belonging to rival companies

4) give all the govt contracts to his own companies

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

CBC News is reporting that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is having dinner with President-elect Trump this evening in Florida.

This comes after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.

There's risk promoting Thomas Brown as interim head coach to replace Matt Eberflus. He's been hands on the last 3 games with Caleb Williams, who is ascending.

The #Bears obviously want his direct approach in front of the entire team. It's worth a shot.

Column: In promoting Thomas Brown to interim head coach, are the Chicago Bears putting Caleb Williams’ development at risk?
There’s a risk in promoting Thomas Brown after the work he has done with QB Caleb Williams the last three weeks. It’s one the Chicago Bears deem worth taking.

Being Governor of Illinois is one of the great honors of my life — and one of my favorite parts is getting to talk with Illinoisans about the work we're doing to get big things done.

I'm excited to officially launch my account here and share updates with you all.

The #Bears fired Matt Eberflus after allowing him to conduct a standard day-after media availability this morning.

Thomas Brown will serve as the interim head coach.

The club will be in search of its 6th head coach under chairman George McCaskey after this season ends.
