This reduction will result from AI-driven automation of existing tasks, necessitating fewer employees in certain roles while creating new opportunities elsewhere. Jassy emphasized that this impact extends beyond Amazon, predicting widespread changes across industries due to the rapid advancement of AI. However, the exact extent of AI’s impact on employment remains uncertain, with some critics questioning the validity of such predictions.

Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last Shah, has issued a powerful call to action, urging Iranian security forces and state employees to revolt against the current Islamic regime. He frames this as a pivotal moment, declaring the regime’s fall has already begun. This bold statement is coupled with a concrete proposal: a 100-day transition plan designed to establish democratic rule, explicitly stated as being “by the Iranian people and for the Iranian people.”
The plan’s very existence underscores a perceived vacuum of leadership in the opposition movement, suggesting a need for a structured approach to potential regime change. The emphasis on a swift 100-day transition hints at a desire for rapid stabilization following the overthrow of the current government, aiming to avoid a protracted period of chaos and instability.… Continue reading

A new report reveals that Katie Miller, wife of Stephen Miller, pressured the Social Security Administration (SSA) to falsely claim 40% of calls involved fraudulent activity, a figure fabricated by the White House and Elon Musk. This false claim was made to support cuts to the SSA spearheaded by Musk’s initiative, DOGE. The acting SSA administrator, Leland Dudek, initially complied but was later replaced by Frank Bisignano, who contradicted Miller’s statement while simultaneously defending DOGE’s actions. The resulting staffing shortages and claim backlog demonstrate the negative consequences of this politically-motivated manipulation of agency data.
