New just now in The Atlantic:
David Robinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.
He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Many of the babies’ autopsy reports were clear: Vitamin K deficiency was the immediate cause of death, or contributed to it.
The reports also included details about parents refusing the vitamin K shot, a long-standard injection, for their newborns.

Oh hey I brought this up months ago. Glad someone is reporting on it! I don't think it's a coincidence that trump is installing private security goons at postal facilities at the same time he's trying to get USPS to tamper with mail in ballots
USPS sends private guards to watch Colorado’s largest postal sorting facility ahead of mail ballots going out
The postal service says the security is there to secure the mail and make sure employees are safe but union representatives say it is unnecessary.

🚨 Obama rejects the argument that the market and lawsuits alone can keep AI companies in check: “That’s not how we treat airlines, or drug companies, or food companies.”
He says there’s “no replacement” for effective government regulation.

Under Trump, the IRS is refusing to release its usual annual estimate of how many taxes go unpaid. Gee I wonder why www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...
Billions in Taxes Go Unpaid. Under Trump, the I.R.S. Won’t Say How Much.
The absence of the annual estimate on the tax gap could make it more difficult to assess whether more taxes are going unpaid since President Trump took office.

NEW: Remember Don Jr’s wedding ceremony?

Well, guess who paid for hundreds of thousands of dollars of it?
A Russian oligarch who is close to Putin.

Trump & his admin were going to frame an innocent Marylander for "vandalizing" the reflecting pool, when Trump's handpicked contractor now admits it was their own shoddy installation.
Yet another shameless attempt to weaponize our justice system against Americans. This must end.

1. Oh man, I had no idea Kenny Rogers sang “The Gambler” with Phish!
This was at Bonnaroo in 2012.
In interviews, Kenny said Phish came to his dressing room and asked if he would join them onstage for a song, and he said yes.
