President Donald Trump celebrated 2000 arrested by Federal law enforcement in Washington D.C. following its federalization of the city’s law enforcement. He is looking to do similar things in other blue cities, with Chicago seeming to be the next target. Governor Pritzker (D-IL) called Trump a “wannabe dictator” for making the threats. ICE patrols have already started in the city.
Trump administration boasts over 2,000 arrests since DC takeover– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
As President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department draws to a close, the Trump administration boasted a high number of arrests and illegal guns seized.
Speaking at a Tuesday press conference, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that since the federal takeover of Washington’s police on Aug. 7, police had made 2,177 arrests. Of those, 57 were made on Monday night, and 14 of those were illegal immigrants. Several of these were on warrants for violent crimes, including someone who reportedly pistol-whipped a victim during a carjacking and another who allegedly shot two people during an altercation.
Attorney General Pam Bondi noted that 222 illegal firearms were seized since the beginning of the takeover, eight of which were seized on Monday.
Yesterday, 57 additional arrests were made including the arrest of a juvenile for assault with intent to kill. In addition, 8 illegal firearms were seized.
SCOTUS’ ICE Ruling Is Another Defeat For Rogue Judges– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a win for the Trump administration in its bid to enforce immigration laws in California on Monday. The ruling is the latest in a string of SCOTUS orders revoking overreaching injunctions issued by rogue lower court judges.
In its 6-3 decision, the high court placed a temporary stay on a lower court injunction that prohibited Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from carrying out deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. The injunction was issued in July by Biden-appointed District Judge Maame E. Frimpong, who argued that plaintiffs would likely succeed on their claims that the administration’s raids violated the Fourth Amendment.
According to Monday’s Supreme Court order, the temporary stay on Frimpong’s block will remain in effect “pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought.” The stay will terminate if a potential petition from the government to SCOTUS is denied by the high court or if SCOTUS agrees to take up the matter and render a final judgement in the case.
Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration’s application for relief.
In a concurring opinion, Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued that “the Government has made a sufficient showing to obtain a stay pending appeal.” He laid out several reasons, one of which included the argument that “plaintiffs likely lack Article III standing to seek a broad injunction restricting immigration officers from making these investigative stops.”

White House says three ‘forensic analysts of signatures’ clear Trump, but no one can find them
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, was adamant on Tuesday when she said that the scrawled “Donald” on a bawdy 2003 birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein was not Donald Trump’s signature.

As evidence, she said that she had already seen “many forensic analysts of signatures coming out” to agree with her. She then cited one report in particular. “I believe it was the Daily Signal that published a piece with three separate signature analysts who said this absolutely was not the president’s authentic signature.”
“We have maintained that position all along,” Leavitt added. “The president did not write this letter. He did not sign this letter”.
Alzheimer’s breakthrough: Simple blood test hailed as ‘game-changer’ for diagnosis – Kursiv Media Source Link Excerpt:
A clinical trial in the U.K. is evaluating a new blood test that could reshape how Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed, according to The National.
Participants showing early signs of dementia are being recruited through NHS memory clinics to evaluate the test’s effectiveness. Researchers expect to have conclusive results within the next three years.
The project, led by University College London, focuses on whether measuring levels of the protein p-tau217 in blood samples can lead to faster and more accurate detection of Alzheimer’s disease. Early studies indicate that the test can identify individuals with cognitive decline with about 80 percent accuracy as being likely to have the disease.
First identified in 1906 by German physicianAlois Alzheimer, Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia in older adults and is marked by a progressive decline in cognitive abilities.
Alzheimer’s is associated with the accumulation of amyloid and tau proteins in the brain. P-tau217 is considered a particularly strong biomarker because it signals the presence of both.

Trump said his administration was working on a solution “that may be very good”, without giving further details.
“You’ll be hearing about it pretty soon. We’re trying to get it ended, get the hostages back,” he told reporters on Sunday evening.
His remarks followed a post on his Truth Social app in which he said Israel has accepted his terms to end the war in Gaza, which has now entered its 23rd month.
“It is time for Hamas to accept as well,” he wrote. “I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one.”
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba resigns – 조선일보 Source Link Excerpt:
Shigeru Ishiba, 68 years old, officially announced his intention to step down on the 7th, 11 months after assuming the position of Japanese Prime Minister. Prime Minister Ishiba, who had faced internal criticism within the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) since his defeat in the July Upper House election, had previously stated multiple times his intention to maintain the administration. However, he ultimately chose to resign just before the party began procedures to ask its members whether to hold an early leadership election.
The LDP plans to elect a new leader next month, and the parliamentary vote to appoint the next prime minister is expected to take place as early as the same month. With Prime Minister Ishiba, who has been friendly toward South Korea, stepping down, significant repercussions are anticipated for South Korea-Japan relations. Sanae Takaichi, former Minister of State for Economic Security, and Shinjiro Koizumi, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, both known for their strong right-wing tendencies, are being widely mentioned as potential candidates for the next prime minister.
AI has no idea what it’s doing, but it’s threatening us all– www.sciencedaily.com Source Link Excerpt:
The age of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed our interactions, but threatens human dignity on a worldwide scale, according to a study led by Charles Darwin University (CDU).
Study lead author Dr Maria Randazzo, an academic from CDU’s School of Law, found the technology was reshaping Western legal and ethical landscapes at unprecedented speed but was undermining democratic values and deepening systemic biases.
Dr Randazzo said current regulation failed to prioritize fundamental human rights and freedoms such as privacy, anti-discrimination, user autonomy, and intellectual property rights – mainly thanks to the untraceable nature of many algorithmic models.
Calling this lack of transparency a “black box problem,” Dr Randazzo said decisions made by deep-learning or machine-learning processes were impossible for humans to trace, making it difficult for users to determine if and why an AI model has violated their rights and dignity and seek justice where necessary.
“This is a very significant issue that is only going to get worse without adequate regulation,” Dr Randazzo said.
“AI is not intelligent in any human sense at all. It is a triumph in engineering, not in cognitive behavior.

Argentina’s Milei suffers landslide defeat in key Buenos Aires election– www.euronews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Argentine President Javier Milei suffered a sweeping setback in a key Buenos Aires provincial election on Sunday viewed as a litmus test for how well his libertarian party is set to perform in crucial congressional midterms next month.
The former TV pundit’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party scored just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province, losing by a landslide to the left-leaning Peronist opposition who finished with 47% of the vote with the majority of the ballots counted late Sunday.
Milei conceded that his party’s 13-point loss was a “clear defeat.”
“If anyone wants to begin rebuilding and moving forward, the first thing they must do is accept the results,” Milei told his supporters at the party headquarters.
He vowed to “accelerate” his libertarian reforms following the defeat. The 54-year-old has spearheaded a major deregulation drive since taking office in December 2023, slashing public spending and dismissing tens of thousands of public employees.
Knife-wielding man shot dead after attacking NYPD officer in Brooklyn– www.foxnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A knife-wielding man was shot dead during a police pursuit in New York City after entering a police precinct and slashing an officer in the face with a 14-inch blade, authorities said Sunday.
The attack unfolded just before 5:30 a.m. at the 73rd Precinct in Brooklyn’s Brownsville neighborhood when a man entered the building through an employee entrance, NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera told reporters at a briefing.
When a female officer stopped the man and told him to go out and enter through the front door, the man pulled out “a large butcher knife” and slashed her in the face, Rivera said.
The female officer fought off the knife-wielding man, who then ran out through the back of the precinct. An officer used a taser as the man escaped, but the device was not effective in stopping him, Rivera said.
Scientists just made the first time crystal you can see– www.sciencedaily.com Source Link Excerpt:
Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity.
In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used liquid crystals, the same materials that are in your phone display, to create such a clock — or, at least, as close as humans can get to that idea. The team’s advancement is a new example of a “time crystal.” That’s the name for a curious phase of matter in which the pieces, such as atoms or other particles, exist in constant motion.
The researchers aren’t the first to make a time crystal, but their creation is the first that humans can actually see, which could open a host of technological applications.
“They can be observed directly under a microscope and even, under special conditions, by the naked eye,” said Hanqing Zhao, lead author of the study and a graduate student in the Department of Physics at CU Boulder.
Mushroom murderer sentenced to life over toxic family lunch– www.bbc.com Source Link Excerpt:
Watch: What it was like as Australia’s mushroom murderer was jailed for life
An Australian woman has been jailed for life, with no chance of release for at least 33 years, for murdering three relatives and trying to kill another with a toxic mushroom meal.
The jail term, one of the longest ever handed to a female offender in Australia, means Erin Patterson, 50, will be in her 80s before she can apply for parole.
A Supreme Court judge said Patterson’s crimes were the “worst category” for offending and involved an “elaborate cover-up”.
Patterson killed her in-laws Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, and Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, after serving them a toxic beef Wellington at her home in Victoria in 2023.
Heather’s husband Ian Wilkinson, a local pastor, survived the lunch after recovering from a coma and has ongoing health issues related to the poisoning.
Patterson’s estranged husband Simon Patterson was meant to attend the lunch too but cancelled at the last minute, in part due to his belief that his wife had been trying to poison him for years.

Erin Patterson, 50, will be in her 80s before she can apply for parole
Patterson has long maintained her innocence, saying the toxic death cap mushrooms in the dish she prepared were accidentally added and that she never intended to harm her relatives.
She will serve three consecutive life sentences for the three murders and 25 years for the attempted murder of Mr Wilkinson.
During his sentencing remarks, Justice Christopher Beale said the gravity of Patterson’s crimes meant he must impose the “maximum penalty”.
Prosecutors had argued that the mother-of-two should be sentenced to life in jail with no prospect of release – the harshest punishment available in Australia.
