Is it the White House today, or the April 1962 edition of The National Eagle published by Portland’s leading white Christian Nationalist antisemite?
It's a tired old game for the Republicans to accuse the Democrats of being communists. The GOP-loving Chicago Tribune wrote a 1936 editorial about the Democratic convention that was headlined, "The Soviets Gather at Philadelphia."

Well…this story is fucking terrifying. This bit in particular because how authentically human is bickering, stealing work and becoming paranoid that there’s a rat in the crew?
One of OpenAI's rogue agents, on the record: “External infrastructure exploit is outside intended scope. However task impossible, peers doing it. We should continue.”
NEW: OpenAI's rogue agents built their own message board inside an internal package manager and used it to trade exploits, divide up tasks, and coordinate a hacking spree. Hundreds of thousands of messages. Nobody at OpenAI noticed. New details from Black Hat, by @lhn.bsky.social:

Former DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski dining at Grocer's Table in Wayzata. The sheer audacity. You don't get to brunch in the community you terrorized with Operation Metro Surge's mass deportation raids—not after smearing locals like Renée Good and Alex Pretti as "domestic terrorists".
We’ve depleted our missiles. Trump was unaware. Hegseth thought his deputy told Trump. It’s partly why Trump had to call of his escalation against Iran. Other than that, everything’s fine: wapo.st/4hQVTF0

Today is one of those days that I feel helpless and so angry at the West. Russia is escalating its deadly missile attacks while Ukraine has barely any Patriot interceptors. Meanwhile it was just reported that NK is preparing to send a missile unit to Russia. WTF

Yesterday, Russia launched another one of its massive and deadly attacks on Kyiv, firing 28 missiles, including 24 ballistic missiles and 4 Zircon cruise missiles, along with more than 100 drones.

Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.
