U.K. surveillance laws drew scrutiny from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio June 5 amid warnings they could expose communications of officials and American citizens, according to reports.

The concern centered on the U.K.’s use of secret Technical Capability Notices under the Investigatory Powers Act, which critics say could make U.S. companies weaken encryption or create “backdoors” weaken encryption or create “backdoors” while preventing firms from disclosing requests without U.K. government approval.

Critics have argued this could undermine privacy, create vulnerabilities and limit congressional oversight with one former intelligence official warning of a “standing invitation to Beijing.”

Every now and again, someone in Congress takes advantage of having this or that weasel to question under oath. Sen. John Kennedy is a master at making them squirm, and all he does is calmly ask the kinds of questions Normal Americans would ask, and particularly, the kinds of follow-up questions the media and congressional Democrats never ask of Democrats. He’s never rude or angry. He doesn’t insult anyone, but when a witness is concealing something or lying, or says something absolutely stupid, he calls them on it to great comic effect.

Jasmine Crockett Claims Her Heart Breaks For Karmelo Anthony verdict: “Evidence of a broken system”– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Trump was right. Jasmine Crockett is truly one of the most low-IQ members of society — and it might not even be close.

Crockett said her heart breaks for the Karmelo Anthony verdict. This is because she believes a young man will be sent to prison for 35 years when he has his whole life ahead of him. And no, she did not mention that another young man’s life was forever taken far too early. She was not concerned about the victim or the family.

Per TMZ:

Rep. Crockett doesn’t hold back as she explains why the case hits close to home … and why race and venue played a huge role.

One thing she makes abundantly clear … she doesn’t think Anthony got a fair shake … especially in front of a jury that did not have a single Black juror.

Rep. Crockett feels Anthony’s claim that he was afraid during the fatal confrontation at a high school track meet was largely dismissed … and she questions whether jurors would’ve viewed the situation differently if the races were reversed.

EXCERPT:

Here is one of the key extracts from the letter.

This new era for defence required further investment through the defence investment plan. The excellent and extensive cross-government work that completed in January – overseen by you, me and the chancellor – confirmed the scale of the challenge and the rising demands on defence.

Since then, you have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.

This is a double hatchet job. John Healey is criticising Rachel Reeves for being too stubborn to increase defence spending by the amount he wants, and Keir Starmer for being too weak to over-rule her.

President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran is draining America’s emergency supply of crude oil — which is just days away from hitting its lowest level in more than 40 years, according to a report Wednesday.

Since March, Trump has tapped 66 million gallons of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to keep exports flowing and prevent Americans from seeing their price at the pumps reach new heights, Fortune said.

The reserve dipped to a 3-year low of 349.2 million barrels on June 5 and is being depleted at a rate of nearly 9 million barrels a week.

Sometimes you just have to choose the lesser of two evils, and President Trump’s recent decision reflects that.

On Wednesday, President Trump announced he has endorsed Republican Senator Susan Collins in Maine’s upcoming Senate election.

Collins has been labeled by many conservatives as a RINO after she voted to Impeach Trump in 2021 for “inciting an insurrection.”

While taking questions from the press inside the Oval Office, Trump was asked if he would be endorsing Collins, who is running against Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, to which Trump responded that he would be supporting her despite the two having different ideologies.

ICE, DACA, and a red card, oh my!– www.washingtonexaminer.com

EXCERPT:

A nation cannot simultaneously tolerate mass unlawful entry for years and then pretend it has the infrastructure to reverse it overnight. As angry protests target Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and political inaction continues in Washington, millions of people inside our borders face a compounding crisis of legal uncertainty. ICE personnel are caught in the crossfire, tasked with executing massive congressional mandates that are running into a wall of legal and logistical realities.

What advocates and politicians on both sides fail to consider is that a significant percentage of recent arrivals may have grounds to challenge the status of “illegal” because many feel that they arrived at the explicit invitation of the federal government. That invitation was implied by the Biden administration through state-sponsored mobile applications, financial assistance, free housing, interstate transit, and various other agency support services upon arrival, shifting the narrative from “illegal” to “undocumented.”

Attempting to retroactively deport millions who were essentially waved through an open door creates an unprecedented constitutional quagmire that will drag out in federal courts for a generation. The reality is that physically, logistically, and financially, we simply cannot remove millions of immigrants, nor can we realistically process them all through our heavily backlogged immigration court system.

Anthropic is backtracking on a policy that would have covertly limited competitors from using its new AI model, Claude Fable 5, to develop other AI models. The company changed course after the move received significant backlash from the AI research community.

“We’re changing Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development to make them visible,” Anthropic said in a statement to WIRED. “We made the wrong trade-off and we apologize for not getting the balance right.”

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a version of its latest AI model with additional safety guardrails designed to prevent misuse, earlier this week. Some of the safeguards Anthropic decided on were unsurprising: The company said it would reroute users who asked questions about cybersecurity, biology, or chemistry to a less capable AI model to reduce the chances of someone using the advanced AI to carry out a cyberattack or build a bioweapon.

Federal authorities on Wednesday shut down 13 internet domains said to be used by China for operations to obtain classified and sensitive U.S. government information, the Justice Department said.

The internet sites were used by Chinese actors to recruit Americans and others with access to secret information while posing as fraudulent professional consulting services, according to a department statement.

“The fake consulting company domains seized by the FBI illustrate the lengths the Chinese government’s intelligence services will go to as they try to use AI-generated content to trick, recruit, or coerce current and former U.S. security clearance holders into sharing sensitive information,” said Roman Rozhavsky, assistant FBI director for counterintelligence and espionage.

“The FBI and our partners have observed China’s intelligence services resort to using AI, professional networking sites, and online payment platforms to target Americans, and we have taken actions to defend the homeland and our national security.”
