Looked into recent FEC filings and wouldn't you know it, Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown started cutting checks to Republicans right around the time he became Dario Amodei's White House whisperer hardresetmedia.com/p/anthrop…

Prior to the last handful of months, Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown's donations were few and far between. In 2016, he gave $35 to...Bernie Sanders lol

Spokesperson for the Scott Wiener super PAC is...Sam Singer??? According to FEC filings, super PAC paid him $200 in May. Next filing due today. Curious to see what that $ amount is. (Reporting from Washington Sun: washingtonsun.com/influence/…)

"Donald Trump will not let me speak at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Palmer Luckey's weapons manufacturer" is not a very moving or effective rallying cry, I gotta say
The White House excluded Maryland Gov. Wes Moore from speaking at Tradepoint Atlantic on Tuesday, where weapons maker Anduril Industries is set to announce plans for a submarine manufacturing facility. buff.ly/5RTqBpZ

I see Wes Moore did not take the W and instead recorded a video touting his deal with Anduril xitter.cf/GovWesMoore/status/210…
$3.7 BILLION in investment. 14,000 jobs. Welcome to Baltimore County, @anduriltech!

Musk's attorney asks him who Shivon Zilis is. Musk's response: “Shivon was uh…my chief of staff. And uh, yeah. Uh, yeah.”

During the Musk v. Altman trial, Shivon Zilis said her relationship with Musk began after "kind of like, a one-off at the offset." She was asked if her relationship with Musk was important to her. She replied "sure."

It’s hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that’s just how it is sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect. We were always his safe space. A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out) I loved being that counterbalancing place of safety, sense of calm, and love — and delighted in bringing a smile back to his face when he was down. I will miss him dearly. I’ve loved him more than life itself and he’s taught me 100 lifetimes of knowledge and made my cup overflow with life meaning, so there is a lot of loss, but luckily we created four beautiful little loves of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so beyond grateful for our children and they make every single day the best day of my life! I do hope and pray he and I can be great friends and coparents. I’m hurting, but care deeply about E and will always be cheering for his happiness. God speed, Elon, the world is lucky to have you.
🚫 @elonmusk is no longer following @shivon Still followed by: @miramurati, @karpathy, @kimbal, @turkeybeaver, @drfeifei & 52 more $TSLA $SPCX (🤖🧩: am i missing something?)

Kalshi now has "partnerships" with CNN and CBS News, both of which will soon be owned by Paramount
We’re partnering with CBS News to bring prediction market data to their midterm elections coverage.

I do not foresee the editorial boards secured by Rob Bonta's Paramount settlement agreement digging into whether it's good or bad that CBS News is doing a long, on-air advertisement for Kalshi

And this is almost an aside in the story, but also absolutely bonkers. Meta claimed Zuck as a "researcher" to get a $355 million tax break on his $4.1 billion stock-based compensation.

Eric Schmitt has branded himself the Sports Guy Senator, even has "Diehard #STLCards fan" in his X bio, but confuses the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes here
🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

There's never any substance behind this never-ceasing Q. How would "leaving the Democratic Party" affect Fetterman's voting record? Probably not much! He already votes against the party line 20% of the time. Schumer can't wrangle him. He's functionally an "independent." Who cares
Sen. @JohnFetterman (D-PA) on any circumstance in which he would leave the Democratic Party: "If we effectively become the anti-Israel party..."

John Fetterman, who currently considers himself to be a Democrat, keeps voting against the Iran war powers resolution. What's he going to do as an independent? Vote "nay" more forcefully?
