An ex-DOGE staffer Edward Coristine (19) AKA "Big Balls" could receive the highest civilian honor in the US, placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa, and the late Pope Francis.

Two major chipmakers in the U.S., Nvidia and AMD, have struck an unusual agreement to provide the federal government some of their revenue from chip sales to China " a deal that experts say raises constitutional questions and may set a concerning new precedent. The two firms have agreed to share 15 percent of the revenue generated from selling advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China in order to secure export licenses after a months-long pause, a U.S. official confirmed to The Hill on Monday.

Texas House Speaker Duston Burrows revealed that Republicans had tasked the state Department of Public Safety to create a tip line " (866) 786-5972 -- incidentally the same number as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Fusion Center -- hoping that average citizens would help them hunt down Democratic legislators. "Many have submitted tips about the whereabouts of absent members," Burrows droned. "For example, over the weekend, we received word of a rally in Fort Worth where a couple of absent members were allegedly making an appearance. We took this as actionable intelligence, and DPS was dispatched immediately. "Although in this instance, members did not end up being physically present at the event, we will keep following every credible lead until these members return," Burrows whined. Read more


The official X account for Grok, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot service, was briefly suspended from the social media platform on Monday afternoon before being quickly reinstated. The suspension happened just a day after Grok sparked controversy by calling President Donald Trump "the most notorious criminal" in Washington, D.C., in a since-deleted post. Screenshots shared by X users showed that the account initially lost its verification status upon return, transitioning from the gold checkmark indicating xAI affiliation to a blue checkmark, before eventually being restored to its original verified status. Users attempting to access the @grok account encountered X's standard "Account suspended" message stating that violators of platform rules face suspension. Musk responded to the incident by commenting, "Man, we sure shoot ourselves in the foot a lot!"


Dear President Trump, You're doing the Lord's work in Washington, D.C., after a gruesome carjacking that likely scared everyone in our nation's capital. You are ordering 800 National Guard troops into the city, federalizing its police department, and threatening to send in the military. You love the people in D.C. that much, that you will not relent in your pursuit of establishing law and order throughout a nation you've made great again. You did the same in Los Angeles just weeks ago. Mr. President, sir, it's great you're going to such lengths to "protect" largely Latino people in Los Angeles and largely Black people in D.C. What about largely white people here? South Carolina residents " among your most loyal supporters " are experiencing violent and property crime rates worse than the national averages, and an aggravated assault rate worse than what D.C. citizens have had to contend with. South Carolinians feel less safe on average than Americans elsewhere.


As many as three persons were killed during shooting at a Target store in Austin, TX. Fleeing, the lunatic stole a car, crashed it, then hijacked another vehicle before being caught. The suspect is a man in his 30s with a documented history of mental health issues. Two victims were declared dead at the scene, while a third victim died in the hospital. Emergency responders treated one person at the scene for injuries. This incident came after two persons were killed, six others left wounded in a shooting during a music festival after-party in downtown Los Angeles last week. The other day, the mother of Natalie Rupnow, the fifteen-year-old girl who shot and killed two people and wounded six more at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) in Madison, WI last December, died by an apparent suicide.

A lengthy investigation from The New Yorker magazine estimates the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) will have enriched themselves by more than $3.4 billion by the end of his second term, much of it from deals, transactions, and investments that almost certainly wouldn't have happened if the Dotard had never been POTUS. The pelf comes from lucrative commercial projects in the Persian Gulf overseen by the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF), such as hotels and golf courses in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE; a luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted by the Qatari royal family; and a flood of Trumpf-branded merchandise and other kitsch marketed by the junta. Trumpf's foray into the world of cryptocurrency and NFTs has also been extremely lucrative for the TCF. Jared Kushner's private equity firm, who scored a two billion dollar investment from a fund led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is also said to have contributing at least $320 million to the TCF's presidential profits.

A federal judge has rejected the Trump administration's request to unseal grand jury materials from the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking case.

The Justice Department has sought to release grand jury testimony and exhibits from cases involving Jeffrey Epstein in New York.

Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a scathing opinion, saying unsealing the materials in Maxwell's case is not a matter of historical or public interest and calling the premise of the DOJ's argument false.


This very Greek tragedy " conservatives killing the Constitution they love because they hate the left more " is made more poignant by Trump's utter cluelessness: he doesn't even intend to end the American experiment in self-government and individual freedom. He isn't that sophisticated. He is ending it simply because he knows no other way of being a human being. He cannot tolerate any system where he does not have total control. Character counts, as conservatives once insisted, and a man with Trump's psyche, when combined with his demagogic genius, is quite simply incompatible with liberal democratic society. Unfit.


They blackmail people, replicate, and escape. In tests, generative AI systems showed signs of self-preservation that experts say could spiral out of control.


KYIV (The Borowitz Report)"Giving helpful advice ahead of peace talks in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested on Monday that Donald J. Trump offer Vladimir Putin "full sovereignty" over the state of Florida. "If you are considering some kind of land swap' for peace, Florida should be on the table," Zelenskyy said. "With Florida, you have cards." Explaining his rationale for a Russian annexation of the Sunshine State, Zelenskyy said, "There are already so many Russian-speaking people there, especially the oligarchs and criminals around Mar-a-Lago." Speaking from the Kremlin, Putin said he would "consider" an offer of Florida, but only if it did not include ownership of Ron DeSantis.
