A humiliation for Netanyahu as he blusters to a nearly empty hall. The zealots will follow him off the cliff, but most of the world now sees Israel as a pariah state. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/w...

🚨 JUST IN: Extending the New START nuclear arms control treaty by a year, even informally, would be a security and diplomatic win for the United States, writes Jon Wolfsthal (@jonatomic.bsky.social) in @thebulletin.org. #nuclearweapons #NewSTART #nukesky #Trump #Putin #China

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals—- Very strange. Never has previously happened in history. The global community will be alarmed. Need security and communications personnel. They are on duty 24/7. The Armed Forces are an apolitical organization.

“All of these powerful people trying to save their own skin have effectively multiplied Trump’s attacks on constitutional government, by enhancing a false sense of inevitability and invincibility,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues. Gift link.

🚨 JUST IN: President Donald Trump has an opportunity to avoid the dangers of an unrestrained nuclear arms competition—something he has repeatedly warned about. Will he seize it? Latest by Matt Bunn (@matthew-bunn.bsky.social) in @thebulletin.org #nuclearweapons #nukesky #Trump #Putin #China

"The US public is catching on to Netanyahu's overreach, but the administration is still locked in a tight embrace with Israel," writes Victor Gilinsky, a former commissioner of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

In the Bulletin, I argue that continuing compliance with the central limits of New START for a year, or two, or three, would offer time for exploring what future accords might help avoid the dangers of a three-way nuclear arms competition.

A technical standard has become the invisible infrastructure connecting AI to the rest of our digital world. But MCP wasn’t built for what it’s doing now and its widespread adoption introduces privacy and security challenges, writes Abi Olvera in a new piece for @thebulletin.org.

President Donald Trump pledged to spearhead an international effort to use AI to verify compliance with the global biological weapons treaty Tuesday. That will require buy-in from the world leaders he insulted at the UN General Assembly meeting.

One must win the primary first, though.

It doesn't matter, except that Nexstar and Sinclair are going to further precipitate the unavoidable fall of the cable network era.

🚨 JUST IN: Washington's unabashed protection of Israel's nuclear goals is unqualified. It also goes against US security interests and public opinion. Time for the US to end its support of Israel's monopoly on nuclear weapons in the Middle East. #Israel #NPT #nuclearweapons #Iran #Gaza #nukesky

The suspension of Kimmel and the anti First Amendment campaign of which it is part is one of the most disgusting and dangerous developments in modern US history. What is happening makes McCarthyism look like a small scale dress rehearsal. Orbanism too. This is full fledged fascism.

He didn't criticize Kirk. He criticized Vance, maga and Trump. That's the real offense.

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

My take on the bad takes on Charlie Kirk's death. @thebulletin.org thebulletin.org/2025/09/terr...

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

If Trump does nothing in response to a Russian attack on Poland, "Europeans will have to stop fooling themselves and face the fact that the Americans really aren’t there for them," Robert Kagan argues:

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

We are horrified to learn of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in democracy. The foundation of democracy rests on the principle that differences can be debated vigorously, but peacefully, without intimidation or acts of violence.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind. No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.
