THAT’S BECAUSE IRAN ISN’T A THREAT TO HIS POLITICAL POSITION OR SELF-ESTEEM THE WAY TRUMP IS:

NEW WAYS TO BOOST DHS DEPORTATIONS: Official claims of 600,000 deportations to date by Department of Homeland Security under the Trump administration lack credible backup, but new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has multiple new tactics at hand for speeding things up, according to experts interviewed by The Washington Stand’s S.A. McCarthy.

TO BE FAIR, PERFORMATIVE OUTRAGE IS TAPPER’S ENTIRE SCHTICK:

Maybe Tapper’s schtick would be less tiresome if it weren’t entirely one-sided.

HEY, BIG SPENDER: OpenAI doesn’t expect to be profitable until at least 2030 as AI costs surge.

Spending on AI training will be staggering. In 2028, OpenAI projects spending $121 billion on computing power for its AI research. The estimate for 2029 is slightly higher, before AI model training costs dip back below $100 million in 2030. (This year, for perspective, the company expects to spend just over $25 billion on AI model training.)

Anthropic’s totals are smaller but still climb steadily, surpassing $30 billion in 2029.

These losses come despite an expected surge in revenue at both companies. OpenAI’s revenue is projected to nearly double annually, reaching roughly $275 billion in 2030. Anthropic expects to approach $150 billion in 2029.

YOY revenue doubling is in line with OpenAI’s growth since the company debuted OpenAI, so we’ll see.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Marco Rubio Is the Reason I Gave Up on Political Purity Tests. “There was a time when I was pretty exacting about purity tests for other conservative activists and, to a lesser extent, Republican politicians. Marco Rubio long ago made me abandon them completely for politicians. President Trump reinforced that.”

UGH.

It’s very important to defeat Trump, you see, because he’s an “authoritarian.”

HMM: Trump confirms U.S. sent guns to Iranian people, but says intermediary kept them.

“We sent some guns,” he said. “They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that we sent them to kept them.”

“So, I am very upset with a certain group of people and they’re gonna pay a big price for that,” he added.

Trump previously told Fox News’s Trey Yingst that he believed Kurdish groups had kept the guns intended for the Iranian people. Kurdish militia forces had been the subject of speculation over a possible role in a ground operation against Iran.

Plan A failed. What’s Plan B?

BOB GRABOYES: Eating Jeff Bezos: Senator Elizabeth Warren proposes a wealth tax on “ultra-millionaires.” Note that in 1913, the federal income tax was sold as a tax on the richest of the rich in America.

It seems clear that the money collected by government on the pretense of helping people mostly goes to line the pockets of the connected. Get rid of the fraud and there will be plenty of money to do good. But the do-gooders are more about doing well than doing good.
