AI leaders: “We need to slow down, we may have created something hurtling us towards the extinction of humanity.” Mike Johnson: “Now hold on there, let’s not be too hasty. What if China extinguishes humanity first?”

Mike Johnson on AI leaders calling for regulation: "We have to resist Congress jumping in & imposing some sort of emergency moratorium...the leaders of these platforms need to come together in a meeting w/us & figure out the right balance. We cannot put a moratorium on this bc China will overlap us"

A Far-Right International Is Assaulting Democracy MAGA and the AfD are united in a struggle against democratic pluralism that transcends national borders. It is an alliance of extremists defined by aggrieved revanchism. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

Trump has a rich crony who doesn’t like Bombardier, so he wants to put them out of business resulting in 3,000+ Americans losing their jobs in red states. Because he cares more about his billionaire friends than American workers. If only workers in those states realized it.

“The Pentagon is careening offtrack under a secretary of defense who is firing or forcing the resignations of officers and civilian officials, not because they are unqualified but because he believes they are insufficiently loyal to him, personally.”

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · last mo.

Pete Hegseth has failed in every mission except one: keeping his job. But firing or forcing out everyone else in the Pentagon will not make Pete Hegseth into the secretary of defense America and its men and women in uniform need. Me on Driscoll's resignation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Speaker Mike Johnson is literally #2 in the line of succession to the presidency. And he says he's "literally not qualified" to discuss major issues at the Pentagon?

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · last mo.

Q: "One of your members just said Hegseth has gone overboard on the firings there in the aftermath of Dan Driscoll's resignation. How do you explain what's happening at the Pentagon?" Mike Johnson: "…I'm literally not qualified to address that."
