Russia collusion hoaxer Marc Elias was dealt a major defeat on Tuesday when a federal judge tossed his group’s lawsuit challenging Wyoming’s proof of citizenship voting law.

In his 17-page decision, U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl, an Obama appointee, ruled that the Equality State Policy Center lacked Article III standing to challenge HB 156. Enacted earlier this year, the statute mandates that prospective Wyoming voters provide documentary proof of citizenship and residency when registering to vote in the state.

“Under Article III of the Constitution the exercise of judicial power is confined to Cases and Controversies, which requires Plaintiff to establish a personal stake in the outcome — standing,” Skavdahl wrote. “Even accepting Plaintiff’s standing-related allegations as true and construing the record in its favor, Plaintiff has not adequately demonstrated its standing to sue on its own behalf or on behalf of others in this action. Absent Plaintiff’s showing of standing, the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this lawsuit, and consequently it must be dismissed without prejudice.”

“The Court has not considered nor makes any comment on the merits of Plaintiff’s claims,” he added.

Trump admin to distribute $14.2M for patriotic education grants to mark America’s 250th anniversary

President Donald Trump’s Education Department recently announced a new pool of federal grant money aimed at helping teach about American history and civics as the nation marks its 250th anniversary next year.

Called the American History and Civics Education National Activities-Seminars for America’s semiquincentennial program, it aims to create evidence-based seminars to coincide with the nation’s anniversary in 2026.

The grants will pay for seminars for educators or students on American history and civics, with a focus on primary documents and topics such as the Declaration of Independence, the principles of the founding fathers, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

The available pool of funding sits at $14.2 million, said department official Orman Feres during a July 1 webinar explaining the grants, adding the department expects to provide between seven and 10 awards.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A raid by U.S.-led forces in northwestern Syria on Friday killed a senior leader in the Islamic State militant group, the U.S. military said Friday.

The U.S. Central Command said in a statement that it had killed IS leader Dhiya Zawba Muslih al-Hardan and his two adult sons, who were also affiliated with the group, early Friday in a raid in the town of al-Bab, in Syria’s Aleppo province.

It said the men “posed a threat to U.S. and Coalition Forces, as well as the new Syrian Government,” adding that three women and three children at the site were not harmed.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based war monitor, said the raid was carried out through an airdrop of forces, the first of its kind to be carried out by the U.S.-led coalition against IS this year, and that ground forces from both the Syrian government’s General Security forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces participated.

The observatory said the operation was “preceded by a tight security cordon around the targeted site, a heavy deployment of forces on the ground, and the presence of coalition helicopters in the airspace of the area.”

“The AI revolution has arrived,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared at congressional hearings in the past few months.

“We are using this technology already at HHS to manage health care data, perfectly securely, and to increase the speed of drug approvals,” he told the House Energy and Commerce Committee in June. The enthusiasm — among some, at least — was palpable.

Weeks earlier, the US Food and Drug Administration, the division of HHS that oversees vast portions of the American pharmaceutical and food system, had unveiled Elsa, an artificial intelligence tool intended to dramatically speed up drug and medical device approvals.

Battling Transgenderism Is A Fight Between Institutions And Individuals– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The “transgender” obsession of recent history can be removed from society entirely, but it will require more people actively standing athwart the left’s attempts to normalize it, forcing institutions to confront reality.

The fight must exist in every facet of the issue, but perhaps nowhere is that more illustrative than in sports, which has seen a growing number of athletes resign from or speak out against competitions in which they face someone of the opposite sex — particularly when a male competes against a female.

Amid these protests, a growing number of major sports organizations have been doing the right thing by blocking male competitors from competing against females.

On Monday, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) effectively banned males from competing in women’s Olympic sports. They did it quietly, fairly ambiguously, and without much detail on how they would ensure that would happen, but the USOPC directly cited President Donald Trump’s executive order called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” in its policy, stating it will “ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201.”

USOPC’s rule change appears to come as pressure from that order, and also comes ahead of the United States hosting the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, preparations for which are already underway.

Quantum Scientists Have Built a New Math of Cryptography– www.quantamagazine.org

Excerpt:

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them will doom most forms of cryptography.

Several years ago, researchers found a radically new approach to encryption that lacks this potential weak spot. The approach exploits the peculiar features of quantum physics. But unlike earlier quantum encryption schemes, which only work for a few special tasks, the new approach can accomplish a much wider range of tasks. And it could work even if all the problems at the heart of ordinary “classical” cryptography turn out to be easily solvable.

But this striking discovery relied on unrealistic assumptions. The result was “more of a proof of concept,” said Fermi Ma, a cryptography researcher at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing in Berkeley, California. “It is not a statement about the real world.”

Now, a new paper by two cryptographers has laid out a path to quantum cryptography without those outlandish assumptions. “This paper is saying that if certain other conjectures are true, then quantum cryptography must exist,” Ma said.

There’s a storm brewing at Constitution Avenue, and it’s not just bad economics , it’s a full-on institutional rot. That’s the big takeaway from a fiery Friday WarRoom conversation between Steve Bannon and David Malpass-former president of the World Bank, as they dug into the Federal Reserve’s massive bloat, bad models, and its role in stifling American prosperity. With President Donald Trump back in office and laser-focused on rebuilding the American economy, this conversation hit a nerve , and laid out why the Fed may be standing in his way.

First, the numbers: the Fed’s new office construction project has ballooned from an already bloated $1.8 billion to a staggering $3.1 billion. “Massive cost overrun,” Bannon called it, and Malpass agreed, saying it speaks to a deeper problem inside the Fed’s entire structure. “Central banks are part of government, so they grow just like everything else in government — inefficient and expensive,” Malpass explained.

But this isn’t just about bad budgeting. Bannon and Malpass pointed to a systemic issue , outdated economic models, bloated payrolls, and a refusal to adapt. “They’ve got 8,000 people working on these broken models,” said Bannon, referencing how interest rate policies have been based on flawed assumptions for decades. According to Malpass, these models are “wrong, and they deny it.”

And who pays for all of this?  Taxpayers do through high interest rates, weak wage growth, and a distorted economy that favors foreign production. “People are getting poorer,” Malpass warned, “and Trump’s trying to fix that.”

Without those tax increases, Mamdani’s plans for city-run grocery stores, rent control, free childcare, building thousands of rent-controlled housing units, free bus service, and a $30 minimum wage aren’t going to get very far. The city council in New York City is far left, but they’re also not insane enough to ruin the city’s finances.

Mamdani’s tax plan is an exercise in delusional thinking. Forbes details the major elements of the candidate’s plan.

  1. Raising the Corporate Tax Rate from 9% to 11.5%, which his platform estimates will generate $5 billion annually.
  2. Creating a 2% New York City Income Tax for anyone making more than $1 million annually, which his platform estimates will generate $4 billion annually.

This is a war over legacies: Obama versus Trump. But it’s more than that.

It didn’t get much media attention, but 11 days ago, President Obama delivered a blunt, hard-hitting message to whiny, sniveling Democrats:

 

“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser, according to excerpts of his remarks exclusively obtained by CNN.

Yeah! Toughen up, you leftwing babies! Quit complaining and get back to work!

Of course, Obama delivered this “hard-hitting message” in a closed-door, off-the-record, private dinner party for super-rich DNC donors.

Obama spoke at a private fundraiser hosted by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and his wife, Tammy Murphy, at their home in Red Bank, New Jersey. The intimate dinner drew in $2.5 million through in-person and online donations for the Democratic National Committee, a source familiar with the event said.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the Democratic Party launched its soft coup against the political liability that was Joe Biden.

Thursday marked the day President(?) Joe Biden delivered a mushed-mouth Oval Office speech to further explain “his decision” to end his run for a second presidential term. He claimed, as he struggled to read the teleprompter, that he was putting the country and democracy above “personal ambition.”

What a guy.

“When you elected me to this office, I promised to always level with you, to tell you the truth,” Biden said. It was a bold statement from a man and an administration that had routinely lied to the American people for four long years.

In fact, some very powerful people in his party were not only telling him to get the hell out of the way, they were forcing the issue. You’ll recall Biden’s meltdown in his disastrous late-June debate against then-presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. That was the “Oh, (expletive deleted)” moment for a Democrat Party in mid-implosion. George Clooney lamented in a New York Times’ op-ed that Joe Biden was a shell of his old “Big F-ing deal” self, and Nancy Pelosi performed her best Lady Macbeth behind the scenes as dozens of liberal members of Congress did the dirty work on stage.

Using a declassified document released this week, it has never been easier to see how the propaganda press partners with politicians to hoodwink the public and shape the political landscape.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released a 2020 Oversight Investigation and Referral report about a 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) titled, “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

It showed that under the direction of former President Barack Obama, then-CIA Director John Brennan and a handful of intelligence agents slapped together an ICA in two weeks, soon after Hillary Clinton lost the election. The ICA was used as the foundation of the Russia collusion hoax — the lie that Trump and Russia together cheated to win the 2016 election.

But the ICA was a terrible foundation for such a claim, because it was hastily written and had sketchy sourcing, including the fabricated and now debunked Steele dossier; and a six-word fragment of a sentence that mentioned Trump out of context. The report shows that intelligence agents argued with Brennen, telling him not to use information that was substandard, unclear, of uncertain origin, biased, or implausible.

 A newly submitted Senate amendment aims to reverse a key victory for gun owners: the elimination of the $200 tax on National Firearms Act (NFA) items. Senate Amendment 2973, introduced by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), would raise the tax on NFA-regulated firearms such as suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns to $4,709 — even though Congress recently reduced the same tax to $0 in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB).

How the NFA Tax Was Lowered to $0

The reduction was part of a carefully structured reconciliation effort that unfolded over months. Lawmakers originally intended to include the full Hearing Protection Act (HPA) and SHORT Act in the OBBB, which would have fully removed suppressors and other NFA items from regulation. However, because reconciliation rules limit what types of provisions can be included, particularly under the Senate’s Byrd Rule, much of the original repeal language was excluded.

Instead, the House and Senate agreed on a strategy to zero out the NFA tax via a tax-focused provision. This change was upheld by the Senate Parliamentarian and supported by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), who declined to override the Parliamentarian’s rulings throughout the process. The bill passed both chambers, and President Donald Trump signed it into law on July 4, 2025.

When models attempt to get their way or become overly accommodating to the user, it can mean trouble for enterprises. That is why it’s essential that, in addition to performance evaluations, organizations conduct alignment testing.

However, alignment audits often present two major challenges: scalability and validation. Alignment testing requires a significant amount of time for human researchers, and it’s challenging to ensure that the audit has caught everything. 

In a paper, Anthropic researchers said they developed auditing agents that achieved “impressive performance at auditing tasks, while also shedding light on their limitations.” The researchers stated that these agents, created during the pre-deployment testing of Claude Opus 4, enhanced alignment validation tests and enabled researchers to conduct multiple parallel audits at scale. Anthropic also released a replication of its audit agents on GitHub. 

“We introduce three agents that autonomously complete alignment auditing tasks. We also introduce three environments that formalize alignment auditing workflows as auditing games, and use them to evaluate our agents,” the researcher said in the paper.

All life is connected in a vast family tree. Every organism exists in relationship to its ancestors, descendants, and cousins, and the path between any two individuals can be traced. The same is true of cells within organisms—each of the trillions of cells in the human body is produced through successive divisions from a fertilized egg, and can all be related to one another through a cellular family tree. In simpler organisms such as the worm C. elegans, this cellular family tree has been fully mapped, but the cellular family tree of a human is many times larger and more complex.

In the past, Whitehead Institute Member Jonathan Weissman and other researchers developed lineage tracing methods to track and reconstruct the family trees of cell divisions in model organisms in order to understand more about the relationships between cells and how they assemble into tissues, organs, and—in some cases—tumors. These methods could help to answer many questions about how organisms develop and diseases like cancer are initiated and progress.

Now, Weissman and colleagues have developed an advanced lineage tracing tool that not only captures an accurate family tree of cell divisions, but also combines that with spatial information: identifying where each cell ends up within a tissue.

(LifeSiteNews) — Yet another front has opened in the cross-border abortion wars. Texas man Jerry Rodriguez has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against California doctor Remy Coeytaux, alleging that the physician sent abortion pills by mail to his girlfriend—and that the pills were used to kill his pre-born child. 

With the fall of Roe v. Wade, vast underground networks of mail-order abortion pills have been established, with pills being sent from blue states where abortion is legal to red states where pre-born children have state protection. This has launched a flurry of litigation between states, with blue states such as New York vowing to protect abortionists who facilitate feticide across state lines, even when the mail-order pills result in harm to girls and women as well as the intended human target of the medication.  

Two Americas are emerging in the post-Roe era. In one, pre-born children are recognized as human beings and entitled to at least some level of protection. In the other, pre-born children are treated as parasites or medical waste, and abortionists are protected by politicians from extradition as they market their wares by mail. 

The latest lawsuit, filed on July 20, seeks civil damages against Remy Coeytaux, with Jerry Rodriguez alleging that the doctor violated both state and federal laws. Rodriguez claims that his girlfriend’s ex-husband paid for the pills, and Coeytaux mailed them from California to Texas. His girlfriend, says Rodriguez, took the pills on at least two occasions under pressure from her estranged ex-husband.
