    More than 7,000 artifacts, including clay seal impressions, clay tokens, figurines, and cylinder seals, have been uncovered at Tapeh Tyalineh, a 5,000-year-old site on the Mereg River in western Iran, according to The Greek Reporter. The objects were found in the remnants of mudbrick structures and in trash pits. Shokouh Khosravi of the University of Kurdistan said that the artifacts would have been used to mark jars, seal doors, and keep track of goods such as grain, oil, and possibly wine. The more than 200 designs on the artifacts are similar to those seen on seal impressions from other Early...

    The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) remains Europe’s largest data enforcer by a wide margin, having issued €4.04 billion in fines since May 2018. The annual Data Breach Survey from law firm DLA Piper found that Ireland’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) fine total is almost four times more than second-placed France. The DPC issued the largest fine of 2025, a €530 million penalty against TikTok over the transfer of the personal data of European users to China. TikTok is currently appealing the ruling. The Data Breach Survey shows that European GDPR fines totaled approximately €1.2 billion in 2025, consistent...

  • Democratic Socialists of America’s link to Chinese Communist Party causes internal strife: ‘Isn’t what I signed up for’

    The Democratic Socialists of America is divided over the group’s connection to some Chinese Communist Party officials and efforts to silence criticism of China – with one member complaining it “isn’t what I signed up for,” a new report claims. The DSA – of which Big Apple Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a member – has cozied up to the CCP and taken Beijing-aligned positions, sparking internal strife over orders to avoid discussing China’s touchy political issues in meetings, according to dozens of internal minutes obtained by Newsweek. “The materials document a sustained pattern of ideological alignment, narrative filtering, and network...

    🔴 Gov. Murphy commutes the sentences of 33 convicted killers. 🔴 Includes one woman who was found guilty of burning her toddlers to death. 🔴 A full list of pardoned and commuted individuals is below. Victims’ families criticize release of convicted killers The governor's pardons have been controversial, especially those decisions to free individuals who were behind bars for taking another life. In December, family members of two slain victims told the Asbury Park Press that they were outraged by Murphy's commutations. Before today, Murphy had freed 31 convicted killers. The governor has now more than doubled that number. In...

    He’s making America safe again. President Trump lauded the work of his “patriot” ICE agents as he flashed mugshots of some of the most heinous illegal immigrant criminals the administration has rounded up in Minnesota for deportation — the “worst of the worst” among the thousands arrested in the last year. “These are all from one state — out of many,” Trump marveled at a White House press briefing marking the first full year of his second term in the White House. “Many of them murderers … do you want to live with these people?” the president asked as he...

    It appears as if the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Google is currently using in its searches has failed to recognize that the 2026 State of the Union address will be delivered by President Donald Trump, and not former President Joe Biden. Yes, Google has a little bit of a problem with its "2026 State of the Union" search result. Earlier today, I was planning my travel schedule for 2026 and decided to Google search "2026 State of the Union Address" to find out when the annual presidential address to a joint session of Congress would take place.

    Democrats are growing increasingly irritated with former Vice President Kamala Harris’ retreat from public life — as she holes up in an $8 million oceanfront Malibu mansion with a taxpayer-funded security detail. Harris — who had vowed that she would not “go quietly into the night” — following her embarrassing 2024 election loss to President Trump has since adopted a withdrawn lifestyle, keeping mostly out of the public eye. “She’s not someone who likes being out and about. She doesn’t really want to engage with people in a way that isn’t already orchestrated,” a Democratic consultant in her circle told...

'Mr. Mayor - and I love saying that...' Hostin, 57, began, before bringing up the fatal ICE shooting of 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Good. Mamdani, in response, stood by prior statements slamming Good's death as 'murder'. The former state assemblyman revealed that he remains in close contact with Donald Trump. The two appeared to hit it off during a photo-op in November, fascinating Joy Behar to no end....

    An environmental group filed suit on Wednesday seeking to prevent the U.S. Interior Department from placing an image of President Donald Trump's face on annual entrance passes for national parks and federal recreational areas that go on sale next year. Federal law requires the $80-a-year "America the Beautiful Pass" to bear the winning image from an annual photo contest depicting scenery or wildlife in a national park or forest, according to the Center for Biological Diversity's 16-page complaint. The winning photo from the latest contest in June, sponsored by the National Parks Foundation, was a picture of Glacier National Park...

The subpoenas sought documents from Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor Kaohly Her of St. Paul related to their policies on immigration enforcement...

    Live protests are underway in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Tens of thousands of demonstrators have rallied, with large crowds gathering and marching to the site where Good was killed, demanding accountability and shouting anti-ICE slogans. Tense confrontations are also occurring near the Federal Building, where law enforcement has deployed pepper balls and chemical irritants against some protesters. The demonstrations reflect widespread anger over the shooting and the broader federal immigration crackdown, with activists and local leaders calling for ICE...

    On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) said that when people find out “someone that’s supposed to be speaking for the community in church” is “a federal agent that is running ICE in their communities, they have the right to go in there.” “Churches have always been an open door,” and the people who barged into a church in St. Paul over the weekend weren’t violent. Host Jim Sciutto asked, “Do you believe it was a step too far for protesters to go into a church?” Grijalva answered, “I don’t. I don’t. I think that when...
