Criminal contempt inquiry looms. The en banc D.C. Circuit seemed poised to allow a full inquiry into who was responsible for defying Judge Boasberg’s order to turn around planes with deportees headed for El Salvador. The Trump regime is trembling at prospect higher-ups will be held accountable

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

Sen. Amy Klobuchar just confirmed: Iowa played Maryland in College Park, MD. That's the basketball game Jack Smith seems to have attended. Atlanta was not involved. Republican Eric Schmitt claimed Smith went to a game in Atlanta so he could also meet with Fani Willis' team. It appears Schmitt lied.

Schmitt bragged about being a prosecutor. If this is an example of his work as one, then I can see many appeals coming. If a Senator can't get better on the facts than this, he needs to resign his seat. Unacceptable! He looked like a fool.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
