#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal).

If you’d asked me to parody how silly and broken legal journalism is, I genuinely don’t think I could have come up with “so the best-known ‘nonpartisan’ Supreme Court outlet is now run by an ex-Trump DOJ flack who had her longtime personal friend Brett Kavanaugh officiate her wedding”

Q: If Johnson called the House back, they would have to immediately vote on Whiskey Pete Hegseth impeachment and not long after vote on Epstein, right? www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Tomorrow's Trump-Johnson AI summit with top tech CEOs suddenly looks a lot more consequential than it did just 72 hours ago.

🤖 Why it matters: Speaker Mike Johnson's preferred solution on AI — to let the companies take the lead on hashing out their own guardrails — is colliding with evidence that they're struggling to control their own creations.

🔥 In the last three days alone:

Axios scooped that AI companies are probing tens of thousands of incidents from frontier AI, including "bypassing guardrails, creating message boards, escaping sandboxes, website hijacking, self-prompting or seeking to bypass monitors."
The state of Florida asked a court for a temporary injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, saying the company can't self-regulate.
AI pioneers warned that AI could self-improve so quickly that the "intelligence explosion" would leave governments and institutions without much time to respond.
⛔️ Zoom in: Johnson has rebuffed calls to bring the House back into session, arguing lawmakers don't have anything ready to pass, while warning against the dangers of overregulation.

Adam Hoffman was convicted of raping his friend's young son. He should be in jail, but Paxton used his power to get him on a misdemeanor. That means he only served for 60 days, didn't have to register as a sex offender in Texas, and then left the state.

"The sources added that Patel consistently kept Bailey at arm's length and cut him out of meetings the deputy FBI director should attend because Bailey was constantly flagging things that were unconstitutional." www.cbsnews.com/news/top-fbi...

Top FBI official Andrew Bailey, who was once widely seen as Patel successor, resigns

Bailey was originally brought in to help ease tensions between former Attorney General Pam Bondi and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

Why do Americans pay so much for healthcare, prescription drugs, childcare, web service, college, and other 21st Century needs? Because the GOP decided to turn their backs on the social contract 45 years ago. It’s no coincidence Harry Truman called them #TheGuardiansOfPrivilege.

About 6 outlets are telling this story. None have opted for the headline, "Some guy you've never heard of has quit government without ever becoming someone you did hear of." The Reality TV producers introduced an ENTIRELY frivolous character and now he's gone.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

Claude making a scientific discovery

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

Lots of Nazi apologists saying, "It's not a genocide in Gaza, only 3% have been killed." Yes, but the 97% are; - Being starved - Denied medical care - Denied sanitation - Denied housing. The intention is CLEARLY to kill as many as possible. The genocide is not finished yet.
