One problem is that Trump is always so anxious to declare victory and seek credit/adoration/prizes for it that he gets out in front of reality to create his fan fiction. It’s all about short-term “wins” for Trump and Fox news cycles, not anything lasting, durable, or sustainable.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

After 9th Circuit win, Trump says he’ll deploy military “should State and Local Police be unable, for whatever reason, to get the job done.” And masked federal agents seize people off streets, and Congress is set to appropriate tens of billions for detention and deportation. The road to despotism.

Navigating Iran crisis, Trump relies on experience over star power- “Caine has also provided feedback to the president regarding the different scenarios of U.S. intervention, a defense official said … He is ‘focused on today and really interested in tomorrow,’ the official said.” Yeah, that’s clear.
