Emil Bove told career prosecutors: sign this motion and you'll be promoted. The person who signed now runs the section. Bove told Congress he didn't do that. Barrett has the recording. Barrett talked to people who watched Bove testify. They believed he wasn't telling the truth.

On Wednesday, Anthropic told 50,000 contractors across 56 countries to start using Claude. On Friday, the United States government told Anthropic that no foreign national on earth was allowed to touch its two most powerful models. Same company. Same week. Read the two announcements back to back and you are watching the global AI economy and the national security state collide in real time. Here is what actually happened, stripped of the panic. The models are Fable 5 and Mythos 5, the most capable systems Anthropic has ever shipped, live for three days. At 5:21 on Friday evening, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent an export control directive citing national security. It barred access by any foreign national, inside or outside the United States, including Anthropic’s own foreign-national employees. Because a company cannot reliably sort its users by citizenship in real time, the only way to comply was to switch the models off for everyone, everywhere. The most advanced public AI on earth went dark worldwide because of a clause in a letter. The internet immediately decided this meant green-card holders, including a famous foreign-born researcher, were locked out of their own lab’s models. That part is almost certainly wrong, and the error matters. Under the same export law the directive draws on, a green-card holder is a US person, not a foreign national, and the deemed-export rule explicitly does not apply to permanent residents. The people actually swept up are visa holders. H-1Bs. The engineers on temporary status who hold up a huge share of every American AI lab. Now hold the two announcements together and the absurdity sharpens. The trigger, by Anthropic’s own account, was a single demonstration where the model was asked to read a codebase and fix its flaws, and it surfaced a handful of previously known, minor vulnerabilities. That is the capability. Finding bugs in code, the thing defenders do every day, the same kind of work a researcher used two weeks ago to catch a four-year-old hole in Zcash before it could be drained. Anthropic says the identical task runs on OpenAI’s GPT-5.5, which sits under no control at all. One lab’s model is pulled from the entire planet. A rival’s model, doing the same thing, stays online. This is the contradiction the United States has not resolved and is now living inside. It wants its champion labs to win the world, so it blesses a deal to push Claude to 50,000 workers across 56 countries. It wants those same models treated as munitions, so it bars every foreign national from the strongest ones. You cannot run an export regime built for physical weapons and classified blueprints on a product used by hundreds of millions of people in every country at once. The two goals are now openly at war, and a frontier model is the battlefield. Step back and the pattern is the one that keeps repeating. A zero-knowledge proof hid a four-year flaw. A clean audit hid a redemption gate. And an export rule written for missiles turns out to have no clean answer for who, inside a global company, is even allowed to use the software. The safest lab in AI shipped its most powerful model, signed its biggest global deal, and got that model switched off by its own government in the same week, over a bug-finding trick a competitor runs untouched. Anthropic calls it a misunderstanding and says it is working to restore access. As of now the models are dark, the contradiction is not, and the kill switch turned out to belong to the state.

Agree, but this ain't that. This (Space X) is the apotheosis of a massive 30-year financial bubble fueled by the central bank money-printers, whose relentless fiat credit emissions have turned Wall Street into a wild west gambling hall. There is no rational universe in which a company with $18 billion of revenue and NEGATIVE $17 billion of free cash flow is worth the $2 trillion market cap it reach in yesterday's first day trading frenzy. This kind of barking insanity does not better humanity in any way, shape or form.

🚨 NEW: As Wall Street prepares for SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO, regulators quietly gave brokerages relief from a key rule meant to protect customer cash if firms go bankrupt. Experts warn everyday investors could be exposed to more risk in Musk’s Wall Street moonshot.

SpaceX's valuation has risen ~150x since 2015 — from ~$12B to $1.77T at today's IPO. Increases that steep are rare. This one outruns the fundamentals: ~90–105x revenue on ~$19B of sales, and still lossmaking (–$2.6B operating last year).

Everybody should watch this video. These Trump voters are exactly the sort of people that Dems are trying to reach with the polling and research in red House districts that I report on here. What they say syncs neatly with what the research shows: newrepublic.com/article/2116…

I'm blown away by this EXCELLENT piece of @CNN reporting. This journalist @katie_polglase demonstrates how to conduct interviews with Epstein associates. She had this guy sweating, because she did her homework. Bravo. (Worth getting through the ad to watch.)...cnn.com/2026/06/11/world/vid…

The "Trump Kennedy Center" apparently repeatedly ignored the terms of a contract with the Washington National Opera, locked the WNO out from viewing their own financial records, and is now refusing to return$17 million of their own money — and even already spent some of it!

BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…

SOMETHING VERY BAD IS HAPPENING SpaceX went public this morning. The biggest IPO in history. $75B raised. Done. The market keeps pretending nothing changed. But the math is now exposed. OpenAI and Anthropic at $2.1T. SpaceX at $1.77T. Combined, nearly $4T sitting in pre-revenue narratives. $450B burned per year across AI. Against $50B in actual revenue. SpaceX itself just reported a $4.2B net loss in Q1 alone. $41.3B accumulated deficit. The entire AI bull case depends on one assumption. Inference gets cheaper. It's not. Memory is getting expensive. Compute is not scaling fast enough. Inference is not falling the way the models predicted. The loop is obvious. OpenAI funds Microsoft. Microsoft funds OpenAI. Nvidia invests in companies that buy Nvidia chips. SpaceX just raised $75B from retail. Insiders sit on $1.6T in paper wealth. Waiting to dump. The signs were everywhere. Everyone calls it growth. I call it the final stage of mania. In 2000, companies added ".com" to the name. Nasdaq collapsed 80%. The dump is now mechanical. July: QQQ rebalance forces selling of everything else. September: lockup #1 expires. Insiders sell into the inflated bid. December: lockup #2 brings a bigger wave. If you've been following me, you already caught the $16K bottom and the $126K top. The next call is coming. And bubbles don't warn you before they break. Follow me and turn notifications on.

DO NOT FALL FOR IT Today SpaceX goes public at $1.75 trillion In the last 20 years the overwhelming majority of hyped IPO's were a DISASTER in first year SpaceX is 10x hyped and 20x a big IPO's valuation Meta: −30% in the first year Uber: −25% in the first year Rivian: −60% in the first year Coinbase: −55% in the 1st year (since day 1) It is not designed for retail to win You buy at the top, early investors are up 100x to 1000x Bankers will win, investors will win, early employees will win AT YOUR EXPENSE SpaceX is a great company, and you'll easily buy it at a discount in the next 365 days Just be patient

The “winners” of a rigged game: Elon Musk: $750 billion Valor Equity Partners: $75 billion Google: $12 billion Luke Nosek: $5 billion Gwynne Shotwell: $1.9 billion Bret Johnsen: $1.4 billion Ira Ehrenpreis: $205 million Tax the rich.

For those wondering: I am not buying SpaceX. I am not shorting SpaceX. I am staying the F away. Why? Because the “float” is so thin, it’s easy to manipulate the stock. (If you don’t know what that means, you are definitely in for a ride.) I want no part of it.

🚨 THIS IS HOW THE SPACEX IPO WILL ACTUALLY PLAY OUT Day 1 opens with a pump Retail buys the hype Insiders sell into it That's not a prediction - that's every major IPO in history Then comes 6 months of slow bleed while retail holds and hopes Then hype dies Everyone who bought Day 1 is underwater That's when institutions quietly start accumulating at the price they actually wanted No, no! Not at $1.77T valuation At whatever the market decides it's actually worth There are two ways to play this Buy the launch and hand insiders a perfect exit Or wait 6 months until nobody is talking about SpaceX anymore - and buy from the people who bought from the insiders And today, that price is $1.77 trillion You know what to do!
