For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

“There’s something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories.”
That’s an actual quote from the current President of the United States. He actually said it. Well done America. We put in power an ill-tempered child who has zero understanding of what America is.

So we can now assume there will be Benghazi type hearings about this or will we pretend this never happened?
Photos leaked of bombed out US Middle East bases, with aircraft in pieces and buildings turned to rubble from Iranian fire. As @gregsargent.bsky.social notes, it's striking imagery, a symbol of US decline.
Utter failure of Trump/Hegseth's fascist worldview, with its shallow conception of strength.

Everyone should look at the haunting photos of bombed out US bases hit by Iran that were leaked by service-members. They are Trump's "American carnage."
On the pod @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social is so good on the war, US decline, and Trump/Hegseth's imploding fascism:

Bc Joe Biden was old.
So, legitimate question: even if we assume a constitutional officer in one of three branches of government is medically or cognitively incapacitated, who has the authority to remove them? Do we put Senators in charge of policing their own? Do we do the same for federal judges? What about POTUS?
New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
