Jury selection began on Tuesday for a criminal racketeering trial in New York against Chinese telecom giant Huawei. The company stands accused of stealing technology, committing wire and bank fraud, and evading sanctions against North Korea and Iran. Some of the charges against Huawei date back to 2009, when the company was accused of supplying the Iranian regime with surveillance equipment to assist with its crackdown on protesters after a rigged election.  The charges of bank and wire fraud, allegedly committed during Huawei’s efforts to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran, were filed by American prosecutors about eight years ago.

During an appearance on FNC’s “My View,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) urged Republican voters to engage in the midterm elections. He said that if Democrats prove successful in November, impeachment and radical changes in the U.S. Supreme Court could follow. “How big a deal do you think it is to have him out there campaigning to turn out the vote?” host Lara Trump said. “Because that really is what this is going to come down to.” Scott replied, “Well, Lara, we’re facing the most dangerous, radical, and weird group of Democrats the country has ever seen. So having President Trump…

Ben-Gvir’s party is demanding a new ministry dedicated to “voluntary migration.” Those living amid the rubble say they will not leave.

Gazans RT spoke to call it what international law already names it: forced displacement.Last week, Jewish Power chairman and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir unveiled ‘Disengagement 710’, a policy blueprint for what he calls the voluntary migration of Gaza residents to countries willing to take them.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney “needs to stop campaigning and start governing” at Breitbart’s State of the Economy event on Tuesday in Washington. Bessent said Carney rose to power on an anti-Trump platform that has ultimately harmed his nation’s prospects of completing a trade deal with the United States. Canada pushed ahead with retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion of U.S. goods early Tuesday morning on products such as American milk, perfume, video game consoles, golf clubs, fishing rods, steel, aluminum, jackets, and T-shirts, according to reports. In a video announcement, Carney said he was matching…

Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton told supporters that her state is “ground zero” in the fight for the country ahead of the November election, according to video circulating online.

A three-judge D.C. Circuit panel of Obama appointees on Tuesday affirmed a lower-court order blocking the IRS’s mass “Data-Exchange Procedure” that handed Immigration and Customs Enforcement last-known addresses for tens of thousands of people ICE said were under criminal investigation for remaining in the country after a final removal order. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Kristi Noem and the IRS reached a landmark interagency Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to break down federal bureaucracy silos and aid in national deportation efforts. Under the agreement, ICE sent requests to the IRS to cross-reference…

OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki published an essay on the company’s website Saturday warning that no AI lab has done enough on alignment and monitoring to justify continuing to scale systems at maximum speed. Meanwhile, OpenAI has just launched its most powerful AI model to date. In the essay, Pachocki claims that voluntary slowdowns are likely to become common across the industry until shared safety standards are established. “This is a time that calls for extreme caution,” he wrote. OpenAI would unilaterally hold back further scaling when needed, he said, but he argued that broader action from industry and government…

The United States under the Trump administration is stepping into the Russia-Ukraine war because “Europeans don’t want to engage,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a Breitbart News event. While speaking with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle and Breitbart News Finance and Economics Editor John Carney, Bessent was asked if he thought there was “a deal in the offing to end the war in Ukraine.” The question comes after President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Moscow, Russia and Kyiv, Ukraine. Bessent expressed that the Trump administration “thought it was important” to have the…
