That clause comes later. The first part gives the establishment power to Congress:

        [The Congress shall have Power] To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia

The founding fathers were concerned about a terrifying all powerful government
[citation needed]

It could be that the founding fathers were more worried about slave revolts:

As another poster noted above, from Article One:

      [The Congress shall have Power] To provide for organizing, arming, and
      disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be
      employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States
      respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of
      training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Sure sounds like Congress can decide who is in a militia and can change the membership at any time, e.g. by disbanding the 'unorganized militia'.

No.

On one hand, we have a paper with multiple citations, including the Federalist papers.

On the other hand, we have you waving your hands around saying nuh-uh.

As this link notes, words can have multiple meanings. In the context of the writing of the second amendment, we can be fairly sure they meant regulated in its original meaning ( see note 1), and that they were not simply imploring militias to keep their uniforms neat.

(1) https://www.merriam-webster.co...
Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin regulatus, past participle of regulare, from Latin regula rule
First Known Use: 15th century, in the meaning 'to govern or direct according to rule'

"But history confirms that 'well regulated' has always meant regulated by the government."

Trump will use the money to "settle" his own lawsuit:

DHS is claiming they were released after 90 minutes. That is directly contradicted the accounts of the six people detained, by local police, and by phone records.

On one hand, we have Tricia McLaughlin, who has repeatedly been caught in blatant lies about people DHS has taken action against.

On the other hand, we have multiple French officials standing behind the scientist's story.

Just on that basis alone, the scientist's account sounds more plausible.

But also, how did a border agent even know what information was supposedly confidential?

I guess if you ignore the first amendment and the complete lack of evidence behind the supply chain risk claim, then it is simple.

Anthropic is saying they don't want to sell something for a given purpose - that's very different than being able to pull the plug arbitrarily.

Note also that the 'supply chain risk' claim is that Anthropic is too dangerous to be used by any DoD supplier for any purpose.

And why did this unspecified danger only appear after Anthropic said no to Hegseth?

A 'supply chain risk' is something that should not be used by a DoD contractor or supplier because it might be subverted by an adversary. Think Huawei routers.

That's not the same thing as something the Pentagon thinks they need. That's what the Defense Production Act is supposed to cover.

The DoD is simultaneously saying that they need Anthropic and that it's too dangerous to use. It's absolute bullshit.

There are 161 public schools on military bases in the United States:

It's probably even more common for schools to be on-base outside the US.

I used to live about 600 meters from the headquarters of the United States Air Forces in Europe, and our housing unit wasn't even the closest one.

This was a US/Israeli targeting fuck-up, and completely avoidable. Don't try to deflect from that.

"Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump"

Donald Trump is going to give $10 billion to himself via the board-of-peace slush fund.

DHS is going to spend $40 billion dollars turning warehouses into concentration camps.

The DoD budget has increased so much this year, they don't know where they'll spend it all.

Don't pretend this is about money; USAID has proven to be an actually useful investment for decades. A summary:
