One FBI agent told me he contemplates Election Day and thinks: “I’m either gonna be sick that day or they are going to have to fire me.”
The Atlantic staff writer @S_Fitzpatrick tells @HannaRosin that dozens of sources from within the FBI and across Washington described a bureau “that has fundamentally changed its core mission, into essentially acting in many cases on behalf of the president and pursuing things that are in the White House’s interests, not in their traditional role around elections.”

Recent attacks on Russian data centers and airports prove that Ukraine still has plenty of ways to make life miserable in Russia—but it will likely take more than that to force Putin to accept a truce, @shustry writes.

Seventeen current and former FBI and Department of Justice officials, intelligence officials, and others familiar with the situation told The Atlantic they were deeply worried by a variety of decisions that suggest ever-closer ties between the Trump administration and the Putin regime. The FBI did not respond to our request for comment. theatlantic.com/national-sec…

@dgrobinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.
He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”
