Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.
Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K
Trump Goes After the Messenger
The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.

Let’s not forget that anyone who voted for Trump the second tune was ok enough with child separation to vote the same inhumane people in AGAIN. Of course they’re worse! It appears that everyone still in the Republican Party is happy with everything Trump is doing and all must be held accountable.
