Sirens: A Bombshell Production
Sirens, a new podcast from the ladies of Bombshell, dissects the institutions of American power. With their trademark wit and charm, they sound the alarm on technology, governance, and national security issues. (And maybe lure men to their deaths.)

- In our latest Sirens episode, we asked what American's institutions New Year’s resolutions should be in 2026 (what's yours?)! 1/ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
- First: institutions should care more about trustworthiness — the trust they’ve broken, the trust they can rebuild, and why they’re governing at all. What incentives are they creating? What’s the job, really? 2/

- Throwback: earlier episode "AI Skills, Appropriations, and Armed Conflict Law" goes into depth on why these strikes are decidedly unlike prior administration's signature strikes (though the very question highlights how poorly those were communicated). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
- I found @martylederman.bsky.social's post on @justsecurity.org particularly compelling, not just on questions of law but also "The Military’s Longstanding Commitment to the Fundamental Principle of Distinction Prohibiting the Targeting of Civilians." - LDS www.justsecurity.org/120296/many-...
- What happens when Administration's stop being polite and start acknowledging they don't believe appropriations are real? Throwback to Sirens episode "AI Skills, Appropriations and Armed Conflict Law" for more on Schroedingers Appropriations. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...
