New FBI docs reveal the agency destroyed its master copy of the Epstein jail surveillance video—then scrambled to reconstruct it, releasing footage with a missing minute. DOJ later blamed a “nightly reset,” but experts called that implausible.

WHY was key evidence destroyed in the first place?

As AI moves into operating rooms, FDA staffing has declined, oversight has thinned, and AI-enabled devices can reach patients without real-world testing.

Lawsuits allege that an AI-assisted surgical navigation system “misdirected” surgeons during procedures, contributing to a carotid artery injury and reported strokes in separate cases.

We’re speed-running medical innovation with human lives as the beta test. 👇

A sitting president suing the government he runs for $10 billion is audacity on steroids.
The demand equals over 80% of the IRS’s annual budget — paid by taxpayers.
Critics ask what “true harm” justifies that price tag.
Even Republicans call it “weird.”
As Adam Schiff put it: “You have to give him a perverse kind of credit for the sheer audacity of the scam.”

The Trump admin is buying warehouses & turning them into mass immigration jails — the biggest detention expansion in U.S. history.

$172M already spent.
23 sites planned. One facility: 8,500 people.
Built near homes and schools to sustain 3,000 arrests a day.
Warehouses turned into cages.

ICE stopped in the road, tried to ram our car, smashed my window, yanked me out by my neck, threw me to the ground, stomped on me, pushed my face into pavement, called me slurs, tried to twist & break my ankle.

HOLY COW! They lied — the numbers are wrong.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell just admitted U.S. job creation may be overstated by 60,000 jobs per month.
What was reported as growth may actually be losses.
This changes everything.

Powell: The U.S. likely lost ~20,000 jobs per month from April–September, not gained 43,000 as reported.
A coming downward revision would be another major red flag — as the labor market slows amid tariff uncertainty and Trump’s immigration crackdown.
