this can't be true cause trump said xi promised not to do it
ShipwreckIran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment out of up to 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired air-defense missile launchers, as it rebuilds its defences amid war with the United States. www.reuters.com/world/china/...
You can see why Ross Douthat would want to leave the New York Times to go work for a network that bases stories on lies printed in the New York Post that they then have to retract.
Raw StoryCBS News ran a claim that "thousands of 9/11 victims' families" want Mamdani banned. The petition organizer told a journalist she has no actual list and the 300 figure was just an estimate. CBS News has since corrected its coverage

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.
Los Angeles TimesImmigration agents used racial slurs referring to Latinos in text messages, video obtained by ACLU
Hmm — and just like that, everything old would be new again.
Biden effectively banned Chinese EVs and now Trump is banning Chinese humanoid robots. Teslas secret weapon has turned out to be the U.S. government banning their competitors. A ban on Chinese open weight AI models feels inevitable in this climate.
I think people are very credulous to take OpenAI's claim that a major hack by their software was "accidental" at face value
Simon WillisonHugging Face just published a highly detailed technical account of OpenAI's accidental cyberattack on their systems - it's wild how sophisticated this was: huggingface.co/blog/agent-i... Wrote up some of my own notes here: simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/28/...
In the safety engineering literature, we don't really believe in "accidents". You build a system, it does a thing, if you don't like what it does, that's on you for having built it, and you get to restructure the system to avoid such unacceptable losses in the future.

Here's another example of the noxious trend we identify below: Stephen Miller claiming "all asylum claims" are "fake." What he really means is no asylum seeker is *worth caring about.* It's the same trick Musk uses with "zero" died from USAID cuts. (h/t @lastpositivist.bsky.social @mattortega.com)
Greg SargentThe pattern is unmistakable: *Nobody died from USAID cuts. *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent. *No Muslim in the UK can escape the charge of being a rapist or a murderer. *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition. And so on: newrepublic.com/article/2135...
NEW: The Trump administration has begun arresting foreign citizens with expired visas as they travel through airports, according to documents obtained by The Times and interviews with lawyers — a tactic that opens up a vast new pool of people for deportation. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...
if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...
Heba Gowayed هبة جويدMy Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
he would leave the seat open and let the dems flounder as their razor thin majority was blown apart by a member refusing to resign
Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)There are a lot of controversial takes on what action Governor Beshear should take: leave the seat open, call for a Special Election, even appoint a replacement to force the GOP’s hand In reality, Beshear should ask himself one question What would Mitch McConnell do if the situation was reversed
Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

True of all conservatism, per Lakoff's "Moral Politics," but there's wide variation in intensity of belief, obsession with policing it, disparagement of other concerns, etc. Muskism takes it to a distinctively articulated extreme, but normie conservatism supports what he's up to.

Israel is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.
