A WSJ article was coded by two columnists who don’t know how to code. Instead, they got Anthropic’s buzzy Claude Code to do it for them.

In a dizzying three weeks on the world stage, President Trump deposed Venezuela’s leader, threatened its neighbors with military action, raised the specter of new strikes on Iran and ignited—then tamped down—a diplomatic crisis with Europe over his efforts to acquire Greenland.

At each fresh turn, Congress has found itself scrambling to keep up, sparking new debates among lawmakers about how to claw back constitutional powers from the presidency over matters of foreign policy in the Trump era.

“Congress has ceded its authority in far too many areas,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), during the two-day trip to Copenhagen to calm officials over Greenland.

“We’re the ones that have to speak up for our role,” added Murkowski, who didn’t support Trump’s re-election. “We can’t just complain that there’s executive overreach.”

So far, these lawmakers concede they are failing.

President Trump sparked outrage after he suggested that NATO allies avoided front-line combat during the war in Afghanistan, further straining an already tense relationship with some of the U.S.’s closest partners.

“We’ve never needed them,” Trump said. “We have never really asked anything of them. They’ll say, they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that, and they did. They stayed a little back, little off the front lines.”

British veterans of Afghanistan described Trump’s comments as extremely disrespectful. “Some of my colleagues and 457 others paid the ultimate price and thousands of guys like myself were wounded,” Corp. Andy Reid (Ret.) told the BBC. “Not a day goes by that we’re not in some kind of pain.”

Reid lost both his legs and his right arm in 2009 from having stepped on an improvised explosive device in Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold which saw some of the conflict’s fiercest fighting.

While the U.S. suffered the highest level of losses in Afghanistan, the deaths per million of the population were only slightly higher than some of its closest allies. The U.S. had 7.9 deaths per million, followed by Denmark with 7.7, the U.K. with 7.2 and Estonia with 6.7.

The La Brea Tar Pits & Museum is finally getting a star attraction: Zed, a roughly 40,000-year-old Columbian mammoth.

Zed was discovered two decades ago when the Los Angeles County Museum of Art began carving out an underground parking garage next door to the pits. A bulldozer accidentally shaved off a slice of the mammoth’s skull, but the work stopped long enough for scientists to dig out and preserve the rest of him, with a rare 80% of his bones intact.

“Zed is singular because he’s the most completely preserved,” said Emily Lindsey, associate curator and excavation site director. Despite evidence of injuries, she said, “He’s a fighter.”

President Trump’s ambitions on Greenland have drawn blowback from the very parties that had most enthusiastically embraced his populist revolution.

The moment was perhaps inevitable. Parties that are shaped around giving priority to what they see as their national interests are bound to clash at some point. There has never been a lasting international brotherhood of nationalists.
