President Donald Trump said Monday that the “right people” in Iran have reached out seeking to “make a deal — very badly” after talks collapsed over the weekend, insisting Tehran will “never” be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon as the United States simultaneously moved forward with a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports to increase pressure. Speaking outside the White House following the collapse of roughly 21 hours of Pakistan-mediated negotiations in Islamabad over the weekend — and as the U.S. blockade targeting Iranian ports took effect — Trump said Tehran had reengaged despite failing to reach an agreement. “We’ve…

A federal judge declined to block the Biden administration’s mail-order abortion scheme last week — but he put the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on notice as the agency continues its safety review of the abortion drug mifepristone.

Joseph issued a 37-page memorandum ruling granting the Trump administration’s request to pause the case as the FDA continues its “good-faith, evidence-based and expeditious review” of the abortion…

Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who was preparing to lead an expulsion…

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is negotiating a potential settlement with major advertising companies to resolve a dispute that alleged that the advertisers violated federal antitrust laws by coordinating boycotts against platforms as Elon Musk’s X, according to a report. The FTC started an investigation last year, seeking information into whether the world’s largest advertising firms such as Publicis Groupe, WPP, Dentsu, Havas, and Horizon Media, along with many advocacy groups, engaged in anticompetitive behavior by withholding advertising dollars from certain destinations. A potential agreement would bar the advertisers from directing advertising dollars away from media platforms based on the…

The United States needs a policy of “high-value migration,” not a continuation of the post-1990 easy-migration policies that create endless fights over migrant crimes, economic damage, and business-backed amnesties, according to White House aide Stephen Miller. “President Trump has said we want to have high-value migration into this country, not low-value migration,” Miller told Fox News, adding: We have to deal with the fact that we have millions and millions of people here who are on welfare, who are not contributing, who commit a lot of crime, who consume a lot of public resources, and it’s in the best interest…

A system that comes to depend on synthetic signaling for its “information” is doomed to Model Collapse, as its signaling has completely detached from the real world. That we inhabit a post-truth world seems to accepted wisdom. But that’s only half of it. We also live in a post-trust world. In a post-truth world, everything is shaped by the implicit goals of the entity claiming to state the “truth,” as the entire point of claiming to state the “truth” is to persuade the target populace to agree to something favorable to the issuer of the claimed “truth.” In other words, the “truth” as something that…
