Following the Historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence, where the World's most important Technology Companies came together, and confirmed their responsibilities to the American People, I am announcing the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF). The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans. The Super Intelligence ForceAmericans. The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government's engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies, and will be led by Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, and Chief Technology Officer, Emil Michael, and Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor, and will report to the President of the United States (ME!), and the Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

UCLA's 'excessive' response to anti-war encampments chilled student activism, report says
LAist
A new report from the ACLU and Amnesty International USA says universities like the University of California, Los Angeles violated free speech laws and imposed severe punishments on students, faculty and staff who expressed support for Palestinian rights.
The universities' responses "made it easier for the Trump administration to crack down on student activism, causing long-term damage to higher education."

One thing that has been overshadowed about the @UCLA Chancellor's remarks:
Frenk had no basis upon which to associate our event with terrorism or antisemitism.
Indeed, he did not attend, nor has he admitted to speaking with any attendee.
Note this line in his statement:

The Chancellor's most recent statement emphasizes "mutual respect, empathy and recognition of one another's humanity." It is incredibly disrespectful to his own faculty doing the work of the university in convening academic programming to malign us in this way. Empathy clearly

If you are a recipient trying to file a claim
It is recommended that claims be filed by the shipper or the person paying the bill. If you are the recipient trying to file a claim, you will need to obtain a claim filing waiver from the shipper. Otherwise, your claim will be automatically denied.
