The contested rules require states to rapidly overhaul mail voting with new voter lists and bar-coded envelopes. The Supreme Court is expected to rule relatively quickly, given the emergency nature of the appeal. California and nearly two dozen other states warned the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday that allowing the U.S. Postal Service to move forward with President Trump’s new rules for mail ballots in the November election would cause “chaos” and could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. “In some States ... compliance with USPS’ rule would be impossible ahead of the midterms, meaning that millions of voters would be unable...

One of Anthropic’s top safety researchers says there is a greater than 10% chance that artificial intelligence could kill every human within the next decade. The extraordinary warning came after a former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher resigned, accusing both companies of racing toward superintelligence without a credible plan to control it.A Resignation Exposes the Fear Inside AI LabsJacob Coxon, who spent three years conducting pretraining research at OpenAI and Anthropic, announced his resignation this week in a lengthy post on X. His explanation went far beyond a disagreement over corporate policy, raising questions about what researchers inside the world’s leading...

As a biologist, Dr. Ari Berkowitz is concerned that more people aren’t aware of a fundamental fact about biological sex. We might expect that a biologist would insist on the objective nature of “male” and “female” as innate, fixed, and unchanging biological realities. Evolutionary biologist Colin Wright, for example, argues for sex realism, a position which, he says, derailed his plans to become a biology professor.But no. According to Berkowitz, “Biological sex is as nuanced as gender.” He’s written a whole book about it. The thesis is in the title: The Binary Delusion: How Biology Defies the Myth of Two...

President Trump pledged a $5,000 payout to U.S. adults on Wednesday, but only if Republicans hold onto their majority in Congress come November. “Here is my promise: if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them … because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000,” he said at the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. The legality of this disbursal is unclear. There are about 270 million adults in the U.S. Trump told attendees Wednesday that...

President Donald Trump pledged that he will send a $5,000 dividend to all American adults if Republicans hold their majorities in Congress in November. Trump made the promise in what he called maybe “the best part” of his keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday before a packed crowd at the American Airlines Center. “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our… tremendous economic success—like in history we’ve never had anything like what’s happening—but because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will...

🚨NOW: President Trump says he plans to hold major rallies across key battleground states to boost Republican turnout and campaign for GOP House and Senate candidates ahead of the 2026 midterms. TRUMP: "I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressman and for senators. I'm going to do that. And we're going to have rallies." "We're going to have rallies just like this.

Spanning throughout the U.S. and within the midst of the country's medical education and residency programs, a silent ideological cleansing is occurring. For centuries, the Hippocratic Oath has existed as medicine's north star of morality, an unwavering promise to preserve human life. Today, that honored commitment has become a career-ending liability. Taking on the guise of standardized bioethics, accreditation boards and residency matching programs have begun systematically filtering out doctors who don't fit the mold -- largely those who are Christian due to their pro-life tendencies -- all before they take their first step into an operating room. What once...

The television is off. The screen is dark. The family has stopped watching. But what if the television has not stopped watching them? A major investigation into LG smart televisions has uncovered an extraordinary amount of data collection occurring through a device millions of families still think of as little more than an entertainment system. Researchers working with Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs and independent security specialists found televisions scanning local networks and identifying nearby phones, smartwatches, printers, thermostats, air purifiers and other connected devices. They also examined LG's Automatic Content Recognition technology, which can identify what viewers are watching across apps...

Evil is out there. But so are the signs of good. Am I the only one who thinks that mothers shouldn’t be killing their young children? Yet it’s happening more often and even amoral morons are championing these evil parents as victims. Does the name Andrea Yates mean anything anymore? In 2001, Andrea Yates drowned her five young children in the tub, and a jury acquitted her by reason of insanity. In 2026, Lindsay Clancy strangled her three young children then tried to commit suicide. She is on trial now and her supporters are loud and idiotic. Both of these...

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Argentina's rugged Patagonia is drawing increasing interest from investors searching for sites for mega data centers who are enticed by the region's cool temperatures, renewable energy, shale gas and empty stretches of land. As tech giants known as hyperscalers race worldwide to build server farms and run into roadblocks amid anti-data-center campaigns, projects in initial stages in Argentina are ​developing without much public attention. Since Argentines have yet to be impacted by large data centers, the country lacks a backlash against the server farms as in the U.S., where critics say they strain local...

On July 14, 2025, United States Marshalls entered the home of 49-year-old Tennessee woman Angela Lipps and arrested her in front of four young children that she was babysitting. Authorities believed that Lipps had defrauded a series of North Dakota banks. That’s because the West Fargo Police Department had fed a photo ID used by the suspect into Clearview AI—a database with billions of pictures, many scraped from the internet, intended to aid law enforcement investigation. Lipps had been flagged as a match. But the Tennessee grandmother had never even been to North Dakota. And so for five months, she...

Former secretary of state Antony Blinken denied a report from Haaretz on Wednesday that he had refused an offer to secure the immediate release of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7. The Israeli outlet claimed in an article published on Tuesday that Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani had told Blinken just hours after the attack began that Hamas was willing to release all of the "civilian" hostages immediately and that Blinken rebuffed the offer, preferring to wait until he could travel to Israel days later. "For the record, this is false," Blinken wrote in...

A Michigan Democrat state lawmaker is warning voters not to support U.S. candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and said socialist politicians take black voters for granted. “It doesn’t change, it’s just different slave owners,” Democratic Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett told Fox News Digital, referring to Democrat Party leaders who treat black voters as a monolith who should only support left-wing candidates. She also accused El-Sayed of not supporting the best interests of black people in Michigan and said the far-left rising socialist wing of the Democrat Party is “more racist than the KKK.” She further accused prominent black activists, including...

President Trump’s administration just landed a major blow against the industrial-scale scam networks stealing from Americans. In one coordinated operation, federal authorities restrained more than $52 million in cryptocurrency, sanctioned a Chinese-language criminal marketplace and helped foreign partners dismantle 13 Chinese-run scam compounds in Madagascar. This was not a small cybercrime bust. It was a strike at the infrastructure that allows fraud rings to recruit workers, build fake investment platforms, move stolen money and prey on victims across the world. The target at the center of the operation was Xinbi Guarantee, a Telegram-based marketplace that the Treasury Department says has...
