I read the documents they don’t want you to read. Tech, power, politics.

The “Peter Thiel is fleeing America” story is so unserious. Fleeing what? His protégé is vice president, his companies feed on government contracts, and his politics are already sitting in the room. This is not a man running from the state; this is a man shopping for the next state to optimize. Call it what it is: post-democracy expansion.

Reminder that Israel is a foreign country, and that they do in fact interfere with US elections.

I think about doorbell cameras a lot. The doorbell used to be a hopeful piece of hardware, installed by someone who expected something good to arrive at the door. Someone who was still willing to be surprised by whoever showed up, and wanted a pleasant sound to greet them to. The camera, however, is the doorbell’s opposite. The camera is installed by someone who is afraid of what might come to the door. It is the same wall, the same house, the same porch, but a completely different bet about the people walking past.

I swear to God, if I hear the word “shed” one more time. The FBI announced a terror plot today tied to UFC Freedom 250, with 18 suspects still unidentified. Completely unrelated, Oracle has a defense AI summit in 9 days, where it will pitch the exact surveillance tools that would find them.

“Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind – even if your voice shakes." Last night, I asked the West Hollywood City Council to delay approval of its revised agreement with Flock Safety until three revisions were made to ensure the document accurately reflected the staff report. I still do not understand why key protections in the 2023 agreement were weakened or omitted, why the definitions of those protections were hollowed out, or why no one could provide a consistent explanation. I placed three of those discrepancies on the record and asked the Council to withhold approval until they were addressed. It seemed like a no-brainer to me, as the existing cameras would have remained operational from the 2023 contract, so public safety would not have even been interrupted. Even Los Angeles was still reviewing its own ALPR agreements. There was time to get this right. Instead, the agreement passed 3–2. Every generation inherits a technology whose convenience arrives before its consequences are understood. Government’s responsibility is to confront those consequences while prevention is still possible. Last night, prevention would have cost only a few revisions — and the willingness to wait.

Baron thinks Ian Carroll and I would only make it to the earth’s core. Respectfully, I think we could dig all the way to China, come back with the GPUs, a few rare earth minerals, and a Taiwan Strait de-escalation plan so reasonable it gets accidentally leaked and adopted as policy before the livestream ends. And that’s if we play it safe.

The only thing growing faster than the federal deficit is the tunnel network under the White House. The East Wing was demolished after a moisture study came back bad. Now, Shalom Baranes (the same architect through the same GSA branch), just filed a moisture study for the Blair House. Same architect. Same office. Same word. I’ve seen this playbook before.
