REMOVE ALL THE SOROS WRECKERS: Judges Tire Of Soros-Backed DA Krasner Lying To Them. “Judges hate it when people lie to them, and when they do it over and over again, they start to get pissed. And the office of Soros-backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner seems to be lying to them an awful lot.”

SHOULD FEDS HAVE AI EQUITY STAKES? Pose that question to a politically engrossed crowd in the nation’s capitol and the results may surprise you. Exhibit A is today’s Hill Staff Views on the issue of whether the federal government should have equity stakes in AI firms. There is a firm majority response but probably not the one you would expect. And while you’re checking that one out, CONSIDER THIS one on the Cyrus Cylinder.

IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Gallego tapped campaign cash for family travel, Super Bowl tickets, records show.

Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator’s spending.

The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 — including $400 to his wife’s mother for babysitting.

And Federal Election Commission records show that on one such occasion, Gallego used a joint campaign account with disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell to attend the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona with his wife, Sydney.

Federal lawmakers can legally use campaign committee funds for travel, food, events and even child care, as long as those funds are not for “personal use,” meaning they may not cover activities that would exist irrespective of the campaign, according to the FEC.

If he were to get so much as a slap on the wrist, I’d be shocked. If there’s one thing nobody in the Senate wants, it’s a deep look into how anybody spends their campaign cash.

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN: Time for Merit Immigration: Keep Out the Losers, Let in the Winners. And make sure the winners will be loyal citizens. “In the U.S., a staggering 47% of households headed by a noncitizen collect welfare benefits such as food assistance or Medicaid. Ouch. That’s almost double the dependence rate (28%) for households headed by someone born in the U.S., according to a June 16 report from the Center for Immigration Studies. Americans are fed up with taking in newcomers who need to mooch. It’s not sustainable.”

FORTUNATELY THIS WAS ONLY A TEST OF THE COMPANY’S WEAPONS-GRADE LLM: Anthropic’s Mythos AI Cracked ‘Almost All’ US Classified Systems in Hours, NSA Chief Reportedly Said.

Anthropic’s most powerful artificial intelligence model reportedly breached ‘almost all’ US classified systems in a matter of hours, according to Senator Mark Warner, who says the head of the National Security Agency told him directly that the model had penetrated nearly every classified system it was tested against. The claim has not been publicly confirmed by any government agency.

Senator Mark Warner, vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on 11 June that General Joshua Rudd, who leads both the NSA and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, told him directly that Anthropic’s Mythos model ‘broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.’ The extent of the alleged breach and which specific systems were affected have not been publicly disclosed. Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.

The warning emerged alongside an abrupt move by the Trump administration to block foreign access to Anthropic’s two most advanced models, Mythos and Fable.

STACY MCCAIN: Father’s Day: An Extremist Agenda. “One thing about the passage of time is that, as you grow older, you begin to notice the shift of values. What was once widely accepted — the expected social norms of your childhood — come to be viewed as quaint, old-fashioned or perhaps even barbaric.”

One of the things that I’ve noticed is that the shift in values over time isn’t a natural progression. It’s engineered, not organic.

ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: “The minute they think they have an opening, you’ll be demonized in the ugliest ways imaginable, your family and supporters will be harassed, and you’ll face a brutal primary against some unemployable twentysomething snotnose communist hand-picked by DSA casting and backed by millions in NGO money. This is your party now. So, why bother playing along anymore?”
