"Under pressure from DOGE, the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning." They "pushed Silicon Valley-style innovation inside the Pentagon, built rapid response tools for the military, databases to transfer Ukrainian military and humanitarian aid, drone detection technologies":

DOGE is "not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything."

"Pres. Donald Trump announced that he had reached an agreement with the prominent law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher — which employs Doug Emhoff, former vice president Kamala Harris’s husband — making it the third firm to strike a deal with him in as many weeks":

Trump eviscerating the legal world in the US. Fucking nightmare.
Skadden joins the New York powerhouse firm Paul Weiss in choosing to surrender to the Trump administration amid threats to their ability to access government contracts and maintain clients with such contracts. Unlike the situation with Paul Weiss, Trump did not even need to issue an executive order to get the firm to bend the knee.
Three other firms targeted by Trump — Perkins Coie, WilmerHale and Jenner & Block — have filed lawsuits challenging the orders targeting them. A federal district court judge already placed a temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s actions against Perkins Coie, saying that it “sent little chills down my spine.”

Unlike chatbots, AI agents operate outside of a chat window, navigating multiple applications to execute complex tasks in response to simple user commands. How much control are we willing to surrender? At what cost?

Ari Cohn: "If I were a lawyer at PaulWeissLLP, I don't know how I would take myself seriously. This is absolutely shameful and spineless behavior. Pledging legal services to broadly support any administration's agenda is gross, but especially in this very protection racket way."

#Americans will never be forgiven for what they're doing to #Ukraine.
Stripping them of air defenses in order for the #Russian #missile barrages to force #surrender.
Dear MSM,
Führer Trump has not ‘pivoted’ on Ukraine.
He has pivoted toward his master like an iron filing to a controlling magnet.
What he's done to Ukraine is a stab in the back.
His aim is the subjugation of Ukraine because he’s a Russian asset to Putin now—the West is dead to him, along with democracy and the US constitution.
Fuck you and your tender, ‘balanced’ nonsense.
Say it properly.

Peter Hegseth has surrendered to Russia by discontinuing all defenses against cyberattacks from Russia. The gates are now open for Russia to enter and do whatever damage it wants.
Michael McFaul: "Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov chooses his words carefully. He is not saying that US-Russia relations are improving based on win-win basis, blah blah. He is saying that Trump is embracing Putin's views. A complete victory for Putin. A complete capitulation for America." #politics #NationalSecurity #PutinsPuppet #surrender
