“We applaud the court‘s decision. America cannot outsource sovereignty to Silicon Valley. AI companies should absolutely warn the Pentagon when their technology is unsafe. But once AI becomes part of the American warfighting architecture, private companies cannot become a parallel chain of command with veto power over lawful military operations. The Pentagon has to know that the systems our warfighters depend on will work when America needs them most.” @mobbs_mentality
The D.C. Circuit has upheld @DeptofWar's decision to exclude Anthropic’s Claude from its supply chain based on risks to national security.

Laura Girdner says she came before this same board in 2024 after being denied access to curriculum used in her 7th grader’s sex-ed class. She says she never received a response. Tonight, she’s back with a simple request: “Give us the information, give us adequate notice, & allow parents to make informed decisions for their own children.” 2/

This October, @IWF is releasing our major report, War on the American Mind. America’s children are in the crosshairs of an information battle driven by domestic actors who profit from division and foreign adversaries who understand the cheapest way to weaken our nation is from within.
When I ran for US Senate, my opponent spent millions of dollars on YouTube and Tiktok telling young people that I hate women.  Politics lacks authenticity. You can say anything you want, from anywhere in the world, to influence our political system.

Thank you, @realDailyWire, for running this op-ed today. “If we keep negotiating and cooperating with a power that is openly at war with our values — and committing the same atrocities we have gone to war to stop — we do not look sophisticated. We look like we have forgotten who we are, and we hand China the moral high ground we used to occupy without apology.” Continued compartmentalization of trade/AI from human rights issues is not realism; it is amnesia. cc: @IWF @bdomenech
