California is preparing to share with an outside organization detailed information about driver’s license holders, including immigrants who do not have legal authorization to live in the U.S. That breaks a promise the state made a decade ago when it began issuing licenses to unauthorized immigrants, advocates say, and it means more than 1 million people may face higher risk of deportation.

The early Church of course experienced its own racial and ethnic divide, that between Jew and Gentile. As both were coming into the Body of Christ suspicion and prejudice degenerated into polarization and condescending labeling, which Paul addressed in Ephesians 2. “You who were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility” (2:13-14). Reconciliation to Christ meant that now “the other” was to become a friend, brother or sister. New levels of respect, appreciation...

Anthropic just published a study mapping exactly which jobs its own AI is replacing right now. The workers most at risk are not who anyone expected. They are older. They are more educated. They earn 47% more than average. And they are nearly four times more likely to hold a graduate degree than the workers AI is not touching. The argument is straightforward. Anthropic built a new metric called "observed exposure." Not what AI could theoretically do. What it is actually doing right now in professional settings, measured against millions of real Claude conversations from enterprise users. For computer and...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday accused Israel of accepting Russian shipments filled with stolen Ukrainian grain. Mr. Zelenskyy has for years accused Russia of harvesting grain from agricultural centers it occupies in eastern Ukraine, aiming to make a steady profit during the war. Russia has denied Ukraine’s allegations. “Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload,” Mr. Zelensky posted on X. “The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying.” Mr. Zelenskyy was referring to the vessel Panormitis,...

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is quitting the Opec and Opec+ groups of major oil producing nations next month after nearly 60 years of membership. The UAE said its decision would help it meet growing global energy demand in the long term after recent investments to boost its production capacity. It is seen as a blow to the cartel, with one analyst describing the exit as "the beginning of the end of Opec". The Gulf state's energy minister said being a country with no obligation under the groups would give it more flexibility. Opec was formed in 1960 by five...

The bulk of the US gold reserves held in Fort Knox are made up of impure “non-standard” bars that don’t qualify for use in international settlements. In practice, this means that most of America’s massive gold stockpile is illiquid and wouldn’t be readily accepted on the international market should the need arise: “It’s a decrepit relic just like our monetary policy is. With respect to America’s gold stockpile, we hold ourselves to a lower standard than the rest of the world,” Money Metals CEO Stefan Gleason said. The French central bank recently sold 129 tonnes of similar non-standard gold that...

Critics worry Canada’s assisted dying committee is failing to meet its mandateWarning: This story references suicide.

Well into Scotland this week and looking at Roman occupation, including one of the last physical signs of it, the truly remarkable Eagle Rock near Cramond. Now it normally raises some controversy in the comments whenever we acknowledge Roman control north of the wall, so we try to take a balanced view in this film: yes, parts of Scotland did fall for some periods - it's bonkers to deny that - but this site investigation shows how transitory it was. As well as the fantastic Eagle Rock, we explore the exposed remains of the Roman fort in Cramond - a...

At 5pm on 3 September Air Rhodesia Flight 825 took off from the Kariba Airport runway, and the passengers made themselves comfortable for their flight to Salisbury. The plane was packed full of families, especially families from Bulawayo. There was no direct flight from Kariba and so the most efficient way home was to head for Salisbury first. The flight had begun as normal, the Viscount was climbing well and air hostesses Dulcie and Brenda were already well into action and serving their 52 passengers. Hans Hansen, a Dane, was the last to board the plane. He was heading to...

On Monday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) said that the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is “about how it comes from our leaders. When people talk about destroying civilizations or calling people name[s], normalizing all of these things, we should not be doing that.” Rosen said, “I can tell you that he always turns everything to himself. And this is not about a ballroom or an auditorium or any place at all. It is about how people in the public sphere treat each other, how they talk to each other.” She added that...

Apologist Wesley Huff is pushing back against renewed claims that modern technology has identified the location of Noah’s Ark, calling the latest findings “not legit” and rooted in “sensationalism and non-credible archeology.” The debate follows comments from researcher Andrew Jones, whose team at Noah’s Ark Scans says it has uncovered new evidence at a site near Mount Ararat. The formation, first identified in 1959, has long been the subject of speculation. Jones drew national attention during an April 22 appearance on Fox News, where he said scans revealed what appear to be man-made features beneath the site. “I do believe...

Those who are alleged to have committed fraud in Minnesota by taking government money to run day care centers without ever providing services may soon face justice. Twenty-two search warrants were executed in Minnesota on Tuesday morning.
