In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

After the Trump presidency concludes, stopping Court packing schemes will become the most urgent battle in the defense of the rule of law, the Constitution, and American democracy.
Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.
We could have 13 seats matching the district structure of the federal judiciary, but also a process that makes it less partisan. We cannot have partisan warfare every time there's an opening on the court

Things are going much better for Ukraine now so it's time to get in front of the parade.
Do not ever try to tell me he was all-in for Ukraine. This is positioning. Which I will accept.
NEW!! Trump will attend a working session with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during next week's G7 summit in France, U.S. officials say

Absolutely revolting and also not surprising.
5/ Report also found “cases of sex in exchange for jobs, and the prostitution of female refugees, including underage girls. @MSF staff were seen searching for girls, and community leaders implemented a curfew to prevent young girls from ‘visiting’ MSF staff.”

Två gånger samma dag gick den svenska incidentberedskapen upp med JAS 39 Gripen för att möta ryskt stridsflyg nära svenskt luftrum. Det återkommande ryska agerandet över Östersjön är allvarligt. Flygvapnets snabba insats visar varför beredskap krävs varje dag.
Den här gången skedde ingen kränkning av svenskt luftrum. Men händelsen visar hur snabbt läget kan förändras och hur viktigt det är att Sverige, tillsammans med våra allierade, upptäcker, identifierar och möter ryska stridsflygplan för att säkra vårt eget luftrum.

Fascinating how quickly Commerce can move on unsubstantiated Anthropic jailbreak claims, while taking forever to deal with well-documented NVIDIA chip smuggling

If this is true, it is just baffling. An administration whose posture is that we *should* export advanced AI chips to China, which also wants to ban… Britain (and every other non-American on Earth)… from using our best models? I have no words.
Jun 13
Oh whoa, this Anthropic news is insane. The Commerce Department is placing both Mythos 5 and Fable 5 under the guise of US export controls, blocking access outside the US and foreign persons in the US.

I would like people to remember that just a few weeks ago, Trump said that the Middle East leaders should "be honored" to have Iran join the Abraham Accords. Please do go on about his unyielding strategic genius.
I'm not saying that is happening. I'm saying there is no plan.
Senior Trump admin official: “What Iran gets out of the agreement is that if they comply, they're going to be relieved of a lot of the economic pressures that they've been under for many, many years. So they do get reintegrated into the world economy, they're going to be rewarded for acting like a normal country rather than the largest state sponsor of terrorism. Now that said, those benefits only accrue if they actually deliver.”

JD Vance:
If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

Just to be clear: This is who Donald Trump thinks should have authority over and access to US intelligence.
Feast on this. She couldn't even competently cover up her days with Assad in Syria. This document was left open for anyone to see for YEARS. washingtonpost.com/investiga…

Also, these four slides shared by Gabbard hardly constitute "evidence" of her claims. And if the DNI can't even get the location of Kyiv right on the map and has created a new Ukrainian city – "Cherniv" (perhaps she meant Chernivtsi or Chernihiv, but neither are located where "Cherniv" is on her map) – then what care do you think she took with everything else?

Complete psycho.
Looking forward to the "now it can be told" articles by people who knew but just found it politically inconvenient to say anything until she was gone.
Jun 12
Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin.

Seriously, think about what she was in and not in on. In: so—called election fraud, RKF Sr assassination, "biolabs". Not: anything real.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

This is correct. I want our allies to be stronger. We could have supported them doing more in a way that made the US better off. So much of what we are doing now is self-defeating in the short and long terms. We will regret flushing our influence down the toilet.
And as always, thanks for listening!
This will lessen the influence the US has over their allies and I've really appreciated @profmarlowe and the Net Assessment podcast continually bringing this up. The lack of well considered foreign policy from the administration continues to work against many of their stated economic and industrial goals.
