One problem with @WhiteHouse EO on AI: it assumes without evidence that generative AI is important tech. There is so much wrong with AI: it costs too much; it wastes huge amounts of water and energy; it invades privacy; it violates copyright; it hallucinates answers; many more.
Today's AI executive order has impressive scope. It also reads like the smashing-together of papers written by contrasting groups, one that adopts wholesale the talking points of AI firms, another that centers civil liberties. @matteo_wong & my analysis. theatlantic.com/technology/a…

"Make no mistake about it. Iran and Hamas are not just enemies of Israel, they are enemies of peace. Iran doesn't want peace in the Middle East they want domination and they have no respect for democracy or human rights..." @clairecmc w/ @NicolleDWallace

.@POTUS: There’s no justification for terrorism. Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and self determination.
Leslie Frank retweeted
Hamas is a terrorist organization solely focused on eradicating Israel.
Hamas executed one of the worst terror attacks in history.
Like Al Qaeda and ISIS, Hamas must be eliminated.
Israel deserves to be secure and Palestinians deserve leadership that wants peace, not genocide.

Hamas’s surprise terrorist attack by air, land, and sea is Israel’s 9/11. Losing 600 Israelis is the equivalent of losing about 20,000 Americans.
If you murder, wound, rape, and abduct civilians and children, as Hamas has done, you are not a militant. You are a terrorist. The media should stop sanitizing terrorists as “militants.”
Hamas is a terrorist organization, just like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are terrorist organizations. Back in 2001, no one in the mainstream media described the attackers on 9/11 as militants.
Leslie Frank retweeted
Operation “Al Aqsa Storm” isn’t the typical Hamas attack.
Israel is facing attacks on multiple domains & fronts, from an opponent with allies & supporters (Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Iran, even Russia), during a symbolic time (50th anniversary of Yom Kippur).
Much more complex.

Horrible news from Israel. My condolences go out to everyone who lost relatives or close ones in the terrorist attack. We have faith that order will be restored and terrorists will be defeated.
Terror should have no place in the world, because it is always a crime, not just against a specific country or this terror’s victims, but against humanity in general and our entire world.
Anyone who resorts to terror commits a crime against the world. Whoever finances terror is committing a crime against the world. The world must stand united and in solidarity so that terror does not attempt to break or subjugate life anywhere and at any moment.
Israel's right to self-defense is unquestionable.
All details surrounding this terrorist assault must be revealed so that the world knows and holds accountable everyone who supported and helped carry out the attack.
All Ukrainian citizens who remain in the risk zone must carefully obey all orders issued by local security services and remain vigilant. Please be cautious. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our embassy in Israel are ready to assist in any situation.
To support Ukrainians in Israel, we established an operational headquarters. If you require assistance, please contact any of our diplomatic or consular offices in any convenient and accessible manner.
Every life is valuable! We condemn all forms of terrorism.

This position by @VivekGRamaswamy on Russia/Ukraine is either profoundly stupid or seriously evil. There’s no other plausible explanation
This by @VivekGRamaswamy is criminally stupid: “I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.”
Like a freshman foreign policy paper. Utterly disqualifying.

Chief Justice Roberts should immediately amend the rules to permit cameras in federal courts. The American public is entitled to watch the proceedings against Trump in their entirety. Anything less would be an injustice.

Here’s a little parable for your Sunday morning.
There once was a man who loved rock and roll music. Because he loved rock and roll music, he loved the guitar, one of rock's most prominent instruments.
ALT Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. His guitar bears a blue Twitter verification badge.

By refusing to seat Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar on their committees while seating compulsive liar and conman George Santos and bowing and scraping to compulsive liar and conman Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy has shown America exactly what he believes in: nothing.

As we explained in our definitive paper on the subject, the standard for prosecution is INTENTIONAL removal or retention of classified docs
Based on what we know now, Biden & Pence fall on one side of that line & Trump falls on the other

All this talk in the argument about fed cts cd intervene only if state court "stratospherically" departs from state law etc: remember the fountainhead of this whole idea was Rehnquist opin in Bush v Gore, where Fla Sup Ct was nowhere near that. Shows terrible potential for manip.
