Secret Service suspends officers caught brawling on camera outside Obama’s home: ‘Whoop this girl’s ass’
WASHINGTON — The Secret Service has suspended two uniformed officers who were reportedly caught on camera fighting each other outside former President Barack Obama’s home last week.
During the brawl, one federal officer allegedly grabbed her radio and threatened to “whoop this girl’s ass.”
Video published Tuesday shows the female agents punching and shoving each other.

The Secret Service Faces Another Unfolding Crisis Situation; 4 Agents Are Suspended
The U.S. Secret Service, which has had to deal with several embarrassing crises over the years, is responding to another one. It led to the agency suspending four of their agents.

And so on. To imply DEI is to blame for somehow undermining Secret Service behavior or capabilities in light of their discouraging history of embarrassing behavior this century is laughable.
I’d suspect getting more women in the secret service would significantly cut down on the illicit hiring of Colombian prostitutes.Obviously unacceptable behavior but there is a long and dispiriting list of embarrassing behavior by the Secretary Service over the last 20 years …

Trump has ordered a critically ill four-year-old Mexican girl to leave the country. She could die within days, experts say
Deysi Vargas and her 4-year-old daughter were granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. in 2023 due to a life-threatening condition
Critically ill Mexican girl, 4, could die in days if deported under Trump order
Deysi Vargas and her 4-year-old daughter were granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. in 2023 due to a life-threatening condition
www.independent.co.uk
“… Deysi Vargas’s 4-year-old daughter, named only as Sofia in a GoFundMe page, urgently required better medical care for a life-threatening condition and was granted temporary humanitarian permission to enter the U.S. from her home country of Mexico in 2023, The Los Angeles Times reports.
Sofia has short bowel syndrome, a rare condition that stops her from absorbing nutrients in food. When she was born in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, she had to be attached to feeding tubes 24 hours a day. Since moving to the U.S., her condition has significantly improved, but she still requires treatment every day.
Now the Trump administration has ordered Sofia’s deportation, leaving her at risk of death, an attorney representing the family said.
“This is a textbook example of medical need,” Rebecca Brown of the pro bono firm Public Counsel told the paper. “This child will die and there’s no sense for that to happen. It would just be a cruel sacrifice.”
… The threat to Sofia’s life was confirmed by Dr. John Arsenault of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where she receives regular treatment every six weeks.
Arsenault said in a letter seen by The Los Angeles Times that if there is an interruption to administering nutrition to her system, “it could be fatal within a matter of days.”
The doctor added that patients who receive the treatment, called Total Parenteral Nutrition, at home “are not allowed to leave the country.”
“The infrastructure to provide TPN or provide immediate intervention if there is a problem with IV access depends on our program’s utilization of U.S.-based healthcare resources and does not transfer across borders,” Arsenault explained in the letter.…”

Mexican doctors botched her bowel surgery, leaving her with the short bowel condition. So her parents sought a medical exemption to come to the U.S. for medical care, which was granted during the BIden administration…Trump has ordered a critically ill four-year-old Mexican girl to leave the country.

“… Sofia’s care is still gruelling. She must still spend 14 hours a night hooked up to the intravenous feeding system and Vargas also has to administer different medication that goes into her stomach through a gastric tube four times a day. At preschool, a school nurse has to administer nutrition daily.
As things were beginning to look up, the notice from immigration arrived, swiftly followed by a notice terminating her employment authorization.
Their attorney believes the family’s legal status was terminated by mistake and has submitted a petition for a continuation of temporary humanitarian legal status because of Sofia’s medical condition.…”

The people who actually build cars and AI would probably be quite surprised at the idea that they could do it with a degree from a trade school. Trump is such a fucking bitch, as are his supporters.
Hey MAGA: you cannot design AI. You will never be able to. Maybe you had the innate intelligence or maybe you didn't, but you chose to prioritize the bible over science. If you want to design AI, you need to start studying computer science as a freshman or sophomore in high school at the latest. You need a high GPA. You need to do all the education related stuff you chose not to do.
It's OK. We all make choices. It doesn't make you less valuable as people. It simply means that you've chosen a life of manual labor, not one of intellectual accomplishment. Sleep in the bed you've made.

- AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office.
- Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.

We’re already living through an economic and sociopolitical unraveling. The sudden injection of many very capable AI models, like we’ve seen in the last 3-5 years, is going to be a big accelerant on top of the rising fascist authoritarianism.
The bourgeoise is restless and it’s going to get much worse, IMO.
I got a couple of friends working in BI and a couple in programming gigs. One is working on a math teaching credential, one is joining the family business, one is pondering law school [cringe], and one is whistling. All are confident they won’t have jobs in the industry in five years, even the whistling one.
