It never ceases to amaze me how "proud" they are of what they are doing. Bragging about it all over the TV.
Right up until someone wants to actually see what they are up to. Then you get a door slammed in your face, redactions that cover entire pages, and you get called a "Domestic Terrorist".

The DOJ arrested Americans for smuggling H200 chips because they “determine military AI superiority”… and then, on the same day, legalized H200 exports to China for a 25% cut.
This is self-inflicted strategic disarmament for cash.

This isn’t a failure of enforcement so much as a reminder that controls shape behavior — they don’t freeze it.
The question was never whether export controls would be obeyed.
It was whether they would decisively deny capability.
The China Military Power Report suggests they haven’t.

If I'm reading this correctly, SCOTUS Kavanaugh walks back his, "[stops are] typically brief,” asserting that 'individuals who are citizens or legally present “promptly go free” after confirming their status' in a new footnote to the IL ruling today.
Makes it clear they can't make racist stops.

This is very good news. Also, apparently Kavanaugh wants to clarify (or retract?) his opinion in Noem v. Perdomo. See footnote 4 of his concurrence.
