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

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.

New story:
In 2024, sitting inside the U.S. attorney's office in Honolulu, the former CEO of a defense contractor made a stunning confession to two FBI agents.
He alleged that was the ringleader of a massive pay-to-play operation, bribing senators with campaign contributions in exchange for government contracts.
He said his most important patron was Maine Senator Susan Collins.

NEW: The US military was prepared to board a Chinese vessel in the Middle East earlier this spring -- during war with Iran -- after an intel report concluded it was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
But just before the planned operation, officials discovered the report had been generated w/ help of AI & chatbot used by the analyst inaccurately identified what the ship was carrying, sources tell @KatieBoLillis & me.

This photo of John Fetterman on Martha's Vineyard is going around; a source sent it my way. Seems he's there for a moderated discussion about "the future of U.S. support for Israel" (great find by @Ethan_Genter)

Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:

I don't know what El-Sayed previously charged for speeches, but having reported on these unaffiliated celebrity booking sites, I can tell you the fees are almost always inaccurate, the bio details are scraped from elsewhere, and talent/their agents don't know they're even listed
Reminder: Abdul had a "celebrity booking agent" called "Celebrity Talent International" to hire him for paid speeches of at least $15,000/speech! #MISen

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna allegedly bragged about tipping off DC Draino to make a polymarket bet on Trump picking Vance for VP. Tough.
SCOOP: Some White House aides scrambled when it became clear a bunch of Polymarket accounts were making bets on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire earlier this year. Officials started asking- could there be people inside the government making such bets?
The CFTC is investigating an instance of a GOP congresswoman tipping off a friend about Trump planning to pick JD Vance as his running mate prior to the president's announcement in 2024.
And a then think tank rep, now a White House official, tipped off an ally about Vance set to become Trump's running mate.
In each case- the people taking the tips believed it to be such concrete intel they placed the bets and made off with big winnings

My understanding: John believes McCormick’s his friend. (No one I’ve spoken feels this is reciprocated.) John dislikes most Dem senators or assumes they hate him. That dynamic + he lost competent staffers + Schumer isn’t stamping out these antics à la Harry Reid= whatever this is
U.S. Sens. John Fetterman and Dave McCormick may be on opposite sides of the aisle, but their campaigns have teamed up to create a joint fundraising committee. Here's the story: thecentersquare.com/pennsylv…
