Patel told Reuters, which first reported on the subpoenas, that agents had sought his phone records "using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight."

    Certainly by now there must be one or more summaries published, applicable to Rep. Ilhan Omar, of allegations that could lead to Omar's de-naturalization with regard to citizenship. We are looking for such summaries. We believe the allegation that Ilhan Omar and a blood brother of hers did apply for a marriage license and did follow through with a filing of a certificate of marriage, and that they did so to commit immigration fraud, allowing Ilhan a residence status in the United States. So, marrying her own brother for the purpose of committing immigration fraud would be one item in...

    Winston Marshall ^ | 17/2/26 | Lionel Shriver
    In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with novelist and cultural critic Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation on immigration, national identity, childlessness, and the psychological roots of progressive politics. We begin with the backlash to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s claim that Britain has been “colonised,” and explore why immigration has become the most morally charged issue in Western politics. Shriver argues that debates over borders, demographic change, and the so-called “great replacement” divide societies into irreconcilable camps, and that mass migration touches deep anthropological instincts that elites refuse to acknowledge. The discussion moves beyond economics into...

    People are so concerned with AI and the rise of the machines these days, they don't realize that the real danger lies in … vacuums? It turns out robot vacuums can be easily commandeered (and in huge numbers, at that). Today, they're cleaning your floors. Tomorrow? They're amassing into an army to suck the life out of mankind. A software engineer's earnest effort to steer his new DJI robot vacuum with a video game controller inadvertently granted him a sneak peek into thousands of people's homes. While building his own remote-control app, Sammy Azdoufal reportedly used an AI coding...

    Russia says it has handed over the remains of 1,000 soldiers to Ukraine and has received the bodies of 35 Russian soldiers in return. Vladimir Medinsky, a top aide of Russian President Vladimir Putin, announced the exchange of bodies in a short announcement on Telegram. He gave no details, but included an image showing bodies being unloaded from a truck. Hours later, Ukraine said it had received 1,000 bodies which, "according to prior information from the Russian side, may belong to Ukrainian defenders".
