Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Forget morality or representation or political advantage… DC Statehood is now a necessity, because without it, the Federal Government can deploy troops to the streets.
And that’s not a “this could happen” slippery slope thing, it’s happening now!

It's a unanimous decision but the two Trump appointees write separately to say DC might not have standing to sue the federal government because it does not have independent sovereignty like a state does.
A unanimous D.C. Circuit panel clears the way for Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., staying a lower court's order that foudn the deployment illegal. The panel

Sat in a Mexican restaurant on Lake Street. The door was locked to keep ICE out; someone was posted by the door looking outside and letting customers in. Whistles went off outside. Everyone went on high alert. People scattered.
Went to another Latino business up the road. Their door was locked too.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
