When a billionaire launches something called “Project Prometheus” in a sci-fi movie, it's usually right before the lights flicker, the robot gets twitchy, the comms go dark, and everybody dies.

So naturally, that’s what Jeff Bezos just named his $6.2B AI start-up.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*.

There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

Will Trump roll out the red carpet tomorrow for the leaders of Germany, the UK, France, and Italy?

Each of these countries has a bigger economy than Russia’s.

The lying has already begun.

TRUMP, SATURDAY NIGHT: "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

PENTAGON, SUNDAY MORNING: “The American strike on the Fordo site did not destroy the heavily fortified facility.”

They can’t both be true.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

This “No Kings” protest at a street corner in sleepy, suburban San Diego was supposed to start at 10 AM. By 9:30, there were already 100 people. By 9:45, there were 200. And by 10:10, there were 1,000.

Every flag is a message.

Every flag is a symbol.

If your goal is unity, think carefully about what yours is saying. The Mexican flag may be doing the opposite of what you want.

UK and India strike a trade deal amid U.S.-led tariff tensions
The deal will see India gradually lower import taxes, with the vast majority of goods traded becoming "fully tariff-free within a decade."
