The Director of the FBI is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl.
In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 lbs of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

Kash Patel: "You know who has to get to stepping? Canada. Because they're making it up there and shipping it down here. And I don't care about getting into this debate about making someone the 51st state or not ... say what you want about Mexico, but they helped up seal the southern border."

We could have just had a normal president and a functioning country.
I hope that going forward, the “both parties are the same” motto gets laughed out of polite discourse as the cheap cynicism it always was.

Did you know “open-source AI” often isn’t open at all?
Models like Llama 3, Grok & Mixtral restrict access to training data & code — that’s openwashing, not openness.
Want real transparency? Look at OLMo or CrystalCoder. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

‘Open source’ AI isn’t truly open — here’s how researchers can reclaim the term
Many firms are misusing the ‘open source’ label. The scientific community, which relies on transparency and replicability, must resist this trend.

The Department of Homeland Security sent a letter to Dr. Lisa Anderson, who was born in Connecticut, which stated:
“It is time for you to leave the United States."
Anderson has been carrying her U.S. passport on her at all times since receiving the email and is seeking an immigration attorney.
