Iran Made An Epstein Video? Yes, They Did.

Iranian state media on Tuesday aired an AI-generated video accusing President Donald Trump of starting the war to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The animated video, published in full by The Daily Beast, began with Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the devil as LEGO characters looking at some kind of booklet. Trump’s character was shown with tears streaming down his face before it’s revealed that the booklet contains files on Epstein.

A Bigly Win For Democracy
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told GOP colleagues Tuesday that they don’t have the votes to pass a House-approved voting reform bill through the Senate by forcing Democrats to use a talking filibuster to oppose it, rejecting President Trump’s full-court press.

He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off. - Captain Mark Kelly

This AI Company Has Ethics

Anthropic is suing the Department of Defense and other federal agencies on Monday over the Trump administration’s decision to label the AI company a “supply chain risk.”

The lawsuit is the latest development in an ongoing standoff between the Pentagon and one of world’s most prominent AI companies as the White House attempts to boost AI adoption in the government.

The supply chain risk designation is usually given to firms associated with foreign adversaries, and it impacts how Anthropic can do business with companies working with the Defense Department.
