New York Signs AI Safety Bill Into Law, Ignoring Trump Executive Order is a really interesting development, and it’s got me thinking. It seems New York is making a clear statement here. Executive orders, at least in this case, are essentially just…suggestions. They carry no weight over state laws. It’s like, you can’t tell the states what to do; they have their own power.
It’s pretty satisfying, in a way, to see Trump’s pronouncements not hold sway. He can huff and puff all he wants, but New York’s new AI safety bill is going into effect regardless. It is a clear act of defiance, and it is satisfying.… Continue reading
The statement from the top DOJ official, denying any effort to redact mentions of President Trump from the Epstein files, is generating a huge wave of skepticism. Honestly, it’s hard to find anyone who believes it, and for good reason. The sheer volume of redactions – hundreds of pages – paints a picture far more telling than any direct accusation ever could. It’s like those prehistoric cave paintings where the outline of a hand is visible, even though no hand was physically drawn. The redacted sections, in this case, are the handprints.
The level of anger and distrust is palpable. People are incensed that those implicated in these horrific crimes, and potentially those who enabled them, are receiving what appears to be protection.… Continue reading
During a recent visit to Poland, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed concerns regarding potential Russian interference in future elections. Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine will not allow Vladimir Putin to control its electoral processes, particularly concerning citizens in temporarily occupied territories. He criticized Putin’s statements about election participation as a tactic to gain control, highlighting the hypocrisy of Putin’s actions. Zelenskyy also asserted that Putin is merely seeking an excuse for the war rather than addressing its true causes.

The core of the matter centers on the Epstein files, specifically a 1996 complaint regarding child pornography that the FBI appears to have ignored for years. Maria Farmer, the woman who filed the original complaint, has long maintained that she reported her concerns to federal investigators back in the summer of 1996. However, the FBI never publicly acknowledged her report, nor did they ever publicly acknowledge her, a fact that has led to her being accused of fabricating the story by some. The recent release of the files confirms her claims, bringing a grim validation, but also highlighting a troubling pattern.… Continue reading
Here’s a summary as if it’s part of the original article:
When asked about the relevance of an ad, users reported a variety of issues. Many experienced slow video loading times or complete failure to load content, while others encountered frozen ads or incomplete loading sequences. Some also cited problems with the video not starting after the ad, and excessively loud audio. These problems collectively contributed to a negative user experience.

The Trump administration faced accusations of legal violations and public trust breaches upon releasing partially redacted Epstein files just before the Christmas break. Political figures from both parties threatened legal action against US Attorney-General Pam Bondi, with many believing the redactions were designed to shield powerful individuals implicated in Epstein’s crimes. Congressman Robert Garcia criticized the release as a cover-up, while the Department of Justice issued thousands of documents related to the Epstein investigations on the deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

In the case of Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, his lawyers claim Attorney General Pam Bondi’s decision to seek the death penalty is tainted due to her previous lobbying work for a firm representing the insurer’s parent company, creating a conflict of interest. They argue Bondi’s involvement, coupled with her public statements suggesting Mangione’s deserved execution, violated ethical regulations. Mangione’s lawyers assert Bondi has a financial stake in the case, potentially influencing her decisions, and are seeking to bar prosecutors from pursuing the death penalty and dismiss some charges. The defense team also wants to investigate Bondi’s ties to her former firm and UnitedHealth Group.

Japan’s $6 billion for Ukraine says more than money: Zelenskyy thanks Tokyo for defending global order, and it’s easy to see why this resonates so powerfully. This isn’t just about the financial commitment, though that’s substantial. It’s about a nation with a history of quiet diplomacy stepping up and making a clear statement. The world is watching, and Japan is showing a commitment that extends far beyond the monetary value.
That’s because when a country like Japan, constrained by its constitution, takes such a decisive action, it speaks volumes. It’s a signal to the world that there’s a real commitment to defending the global order.… Continue reading
DOJ Likely Pulled Photos of Trump from Released Epstein Files
So, the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a bunch of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, that much we know. But the story took a sharp turn when it became clear that a photo, potentially containing images of Donald Trump, vanished from the digital release. The timing? Right after the files went public.
The original documents were organized numerically, and the missing photo was labeled “EFTA00000468.” By Saturday, it was gone. What’s more, the file library seemed to jump from “EFTA00000467” to “EFTA00000469,” which is a pretty clear indication of a deliberate deletion.… Continue reading
Following the addition of President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, several members of the Kennedy family have publicly voiced their disapproval. Kerry Kennedy announced plans to physically remove the added lettering, while Maria Shriver criticized the move, suggesting it does not equate to greatness. Concerns have also been raised about the legality of the renaming, citing a law that restricts the addition of memorials or plaques. Furthermore, Representative Joyce Beatty has claimed that the vote to add Trump’s name was not unanimous and that she and others were silenced during the conference call.
