I can't say enough to express my thanks to Jen for her partnership. Starting with my personal Day 1 in 2020, her vision, creativity and industry relationships were (and are) so apparent that I had no doubt our work together could be transformative not only to Amazon, but also to the industry as a whole. The Rings of Power, Fallout, Reacher, Red One, Maxton Hall, The Idea of You, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saltburn, Road House, Beast Games, Culpa Mia/Tuya and others speak to the hits under her leadership that have stirred cultural conversation and delivered incredible storytelling to worldwide audiences…and that list covers only the past 18 months. In addition, her leadership is evidenced by the senior team she's hired and developed…a team that I know will step up in a big way going forward.
In his 43-page opinion, the judge also noted that Musk had posted a tweet on March 26, 2022 indicating he was thinking about buying a different social network, not Twitter, although he had already amassed millions of shares in Twitter as of March 25, 2022.
He wrote, it was "reasonable" to read Musk's tweet "as a statement meant to misdirect the public to think that buying Twitter was just a fantasy." The judge also wrote that, "it is more likely than not that Musk issued a material misleading representation," with those tweets.
Musk ultimately bid on and led a leveraged buyout of Twitter in 2022 in a deal worth about $44 billion. He made sweeping changes to the business, the social platform and later renamed it X.
As previously reported, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a similar lawsuit against Musk over alleged failure to properly disclose purchases of Twitter stock in 2022 before he took over the company.
On Friday, Musk said another one of his ventures, xAI, was merging with the social network in an all-stock transaction, valuing the artificial intelligence business at $80 billion and the social media business at $33 billion.
“And many others, for example, including the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” he said, using North Korea’s official name. BRICS is an economic collective that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Putin’s words come as Russia and Ukraine have stopped targeting each other’s energy infrastructure, but other attacks have continued leaving the peace negotiations shaky. Last week a partial ceasefire was agreed to last week by Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
China and North Korea have played considerably different roles with Russia when it comes to Putin's war efforts. China has tried to walk a diplomatic tightrope since the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Putin also suggested that Zelenskyy could be replaced with someone approved by the collective nations. Putin has called the Ukrainian president illegitimate due to his canceling of elections and ruling under martial law.
"In principle, of course, a temporary administration could be introduced in Ukraine under the auspices of the U.N., the United States, European countries ,and our partners. This would be in order to hold democratic elections and bring to power a capable government enjoying the trust of the people and then to start talks with them about a peace treaty,” Putin said.
The list of grants that could be cut includes a $1.9 billion program to help high-risk urban areas prevent and prepare for terrorist attacks, a $760 million program that helps states and tribes prevent terrorism, and a $480 million program that helps states and tribes with emergency preparedness.
The document Noem signed flagged those grants as "red," according to The Hill.
FEMA has frozen nearly $10 billion in disaster aid for nonprofits including hospitals as it seeks to identify funding that could be used to help illegal immigrants, according to agency documents obtained by E&E News. The blocked money had been approved for nongovernmental organizations to rebuild their own facilities after a disaster and to provide services such as short-term housing to survivors.
The document signed by Noem also contains a list of "yellow" programs that could later receive the same treatment. These programs include services for major disaster survivors, funds to repair buildings damaged by a major disaster, and security programs for nonprofit organizations — including houses of worship. Approval of their payments will be subject to a weekly review by DHS. Among programs set for termination include those that provide emergency food and shelter to migrants.
The document came in response to two executive orders by President Donald Trump, including one that seeks to prevent federal funds being used to benefit illegal immigrants, according to The Hill. It also came after the Trump administration suggested putting conditions on disaster aid to California following January's wildfires.
Cox said while he agrees with the intent of the law, he is concerned that it may go too far. But he opted not to veto it, as it would have been overruled by the GOP-controlled Legislature. Cox signed 78 bills into law, issued four vetoes and two line-item vetoes, and allowed three bills to go into effect without his signature, including the Flag Display Amendments bill.
"To our LGBTQ community, I know that recent legislation has been difficult," Cox said. "Politics can be a bit of a blood sport at times, and I know we've had our disagreements. I want you to know that I love and appreciate you and I am grateful that you are part of our state. I know these words may ring hollow to many of you, but please know that I mean them sincerely."
During the pandemic, Cuomo and de Blasio fought over school closures and citywide shutdown plans, and state officials withheld daily data from their city officials, Politico reported.
Cuomo's office threatened to arrest City Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi over an interpretation of which first responders were eligible for early vaccines, Politico reported. A Cuomo spokesperson refuted the account to Politico.
"New Yorkers know it was Gov. Cuomo who led the way on COVID response and this is nothing more than silly, revisionist history from a bunch of de Blasio ex-pats obsessed with distracting from the fact that he was a terrible mayor," Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said to Politico. "This took place at a time when the federal government botched the vaccine supply chain and we were moving heaven and earth to get as many shots in as many arms as possible."
Vaccine sites that de Blasio could not control or take credit for were prioritized by state officials, Politico said.
“For too long, Washington bureaucrats have imposed a uniform approach to education, stifling innovation and limiting parental choice,” Paul said in a news release. “It’s time to empower families and local leaders to make the best decisions for their students, rather than relying on out-of-touch federal regulators.”
Although Trump’s executive order stated that “closing the Department of Education would provide children and their families the opportunity to escape a system that is failing them,” only Congress, which created the agency in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter, can terminate it.
Trump has directed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to dismantle the department and “put yourself out of a job,” with her stated goal of sending “education back to the states and empower all parents to choose an excellent education for their children.”
“There is no constitutional role for the federal government in education, and returning power to the states will empower parents, cut red tape, and give our students the opportunity to receive the best possible education,” Moreno said in the release. “After over four decades of Republicans promising to abolish the Department of Education, President Trump and Senate Republicans are finally delivering. This was a key part of what I campaigned on, and I’m proud to join Senator Paul and my colleagues on this long-overdue legislation.”
Former Republican congressional lawmakers Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney served on the House select Jan. 6 committee, while Jake Sullivan and Blinken were among the most senior officials in Biden's administration.
“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” Trump wrote in the memorandum sent to all executive departments and agency heads before naming all of the individuals affected
Trump has aggressively used his presidential power to commute sentences and issue pardons for people who he believes were treated unfairly by the justice system. The president himself was convicted last year in a case involving hush money payments, part of what he has described as a politically motivated witch hunt against him.
Watson's commutation was among a string of other acts of clemency revealed by the White House on Friday. They included Trevor Milton, the founder of electric vehicle company Nikola, who had been sentenced to four years for fraudulently exaggerating the potential of his technology and was pardoned; and three entrepreneurs who founded and helped run the cryptocurrency exchange BITMEX, which was ordered to pay a $100 million fine earlier this year after prosecutors said it “willfully flouted U.S. anti-money laundering laws to boost revenue.” They had been sentenced to probation and were also pardoned.
After Watson's sentencing, then-Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the jury had determined that “Watson was a con man who told lie upon lie upon lie to deceive investors into buying stock in his company.”
Ozy Media “collapsed under the weight of Watson’s dishonest schemes,” Peace said.
But Watson, who is Black, called the case “a modern lynching" and argued that he was the victim of “selective prosecution."
“I made mistakes. I’m very, very sorry that people are hurt, myself included,” Watson said, but “I don’t think it’s fair.”
U.S. District Judge Eric Komitee said during sentencing that the “quantum of dishonesty in this case is exceptional.”
Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., who served as ambassador to Japan during the first Trump administration, is another name that has been mentioned, though Republicans have only a three-seat majority in the upper chamber.
Richard Grenell, Trump's envoy for special missions, told Newsmax Thursday he is a "hard no" on being the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
"That's not something I want to do," Grenell said on "Greg Kelly Reports." "I've got plenty to do. President Trump has me doing different things. It's not someplace that I want to go to."
Morgan Ortatus, a former State Department spokesperson who works on Middle East issues, is said to also not be interested, Politico reported.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that the U.S. should in some form control the territory.
"We need Greenland, very importantly, for international security," Trump told reporters Friday at the White House. "We have to have Greenland. It's not a question of do you think we can do without it. We can't.
"Greenland is very important for the peace of the world, not us, the peace of the entire world, and I think Denmark understands it. I think the European Union understands it. And if they don't, we're going to have to explain it to them."
Vance visited with second lady Usha Vance, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. They reportedly dined with the troops and received briefings from military officials.
Denmark Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen reacted to the vice president’s speech by saying he takes the criticism seriously, according to the Berlingske newspaper in Copenhagen, adding "I also think it's a bit inappropriate, and maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror too."
Rasmussen said if the U.S. wants to do more in the Arctic, Denmark and Greenland would be happy to assist, and that Denmark realizes "we must do more."
The vice president told reporters there are no plans to expand the U.S. military presence on the continent beyond Pituffik Space Base.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration canceled grants and contracts totaling $400 million to Columbia due to "inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students."
Armstrong was named interim president in August after Columbia President Nemat Shafik, who had been widely criticized for her handling of campus protests and accusations of antisemitism, resigned.
The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional eating patterns of people living in the countries, such as Greece, Italy and Spain, that border the Mediterranean Sea. In general, the diet emphasizes plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, healthy fats like olive oil, and moderate amounts of fish and poultry, while limiting red meats and processed foods.
“Foods that you can eat off a tree or grow in the ground,” Crandall tells Newsmax’s “Newsline.”
“It's a diet that is proven to give you long life and it focuses a lot on olive oil, which has beneficial properties for long-term health,” adds Crandall.
Research has linked olive oil to a variety of health benefits. One study of more than 92,000 men and women, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found that those who consumed the most olive oil ─ a little more than half a tablespoon a day ─ had a 19% lower risk of death from any cause over the 28-year study period compared to those who never or rarely used olive oil. In addition, consuming more olive oil was linked to lower risk of death from heart disease, cancer and neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
The beneficial effects of olive oil come from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, according to Crandall. Inflammation in the body is a main cause of cancer and heart disease. In addition, olive oil has been found to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, which contributes to the development of heart disease.
So, people who eat a Mediterranean diet that includes olive oil live longer, have less heart disease, have less mental illness, and have less cancer throughout their life, says Crandall, editor of the popular newsletter Dr. Crandall's Heart Health Report.
"You can't impeach a judge just because you disagree with their opinion," Grassley said in an interview Thursday.
Last week, Rep. Brandon Gill introduced impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg after he ordered flights deporting more than 250 illegal immigrants believed to be members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua halted and returned to the U.S.
Gill said judges ruling against Trump and his agenda are a threat to democracy. Trump has also called for Boasberg's impeachment.
Grassley said legislation that would restrict district-level federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions is in the works. A hearing is set for April 2 to discuss "legislative solutions to the bipartisan problem of universal injunctions."
In early 2024, CSBC began developing a military-grade USV as part of a $24 billion project led by Taiwan’s National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST) to create drone boats, with plans for mass production by 2026. Taiwan’s defense ministry has set specific requirements for the USVs, including a length of 10 meters, a full-load displacement under 4 tonnes, and a remote control range of around 43 miles.
Local media reports suggest that the institute’s USV features autonomous navigation and a stealth-optimized hull for surprise attacks. Once designated, it autonomously targets and strikes enemy warships. NCSIST aims to complete combat evaluations by the end of the year, with mass production set for next year. Reports also indicate that the army plans to acquire more than 200 units.
A producer for “Snow White” recently reprimanded the film’s star, Rachel Zegler, for mixing the film’s promotion with leftist activism. Her decision to trash the original “Snow White” film and focus on politics over publicity will likely cost Disney millions of dollars. But doesn’t she have the right to speak freely? Glenn explains why this is yet another example of a narcissistic generation that believes their careers should be handed to them. It’s not about free speech when she’s being paid millions to promote Disney’s movie. Glenn also reads the fiery comments of the producer’s son, who summarized the whole situation perfectly.
New York Giants rumors are getting huge with the latest reports from NFL insiders on Jaxson Dart. Giants Draft rumors suggest they have a strong interest in Dart. NFL insider Ian Rapoport said, “Jaxson Dart has spent extensive time with the Browns, with the Giants and some others.” Mike Florio has also stated the Giants will not be looking for a QB at the third pick. Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston are not the future of the Giants undercenter. Both quarterbacks could be a bridge to 2026. NY Giants Now host Marshall Green gives his opinions on passing on a quarterback at the third pick in today’s New York Giants YouTube video.
How is Pectra going to affect Ethereum?
Pectra is combining two big updates similar to the Dencun upgrade. The first one is Prague (execution layer or EL) and Electra (consensus layer or CL). Hence, it gives many new Ethereum Improvement Proposals or EIP. EIP is the formal process by which changes are proposed, discussed, and implemented on the Ethereum blockchain.
The system can strengthen drone defenses. The company underlined that the small and expendable, Coyote C-UAS kinetic and non-kinetic variants are reportedly able to defeat small to large target unmanned aircraft systems at longer ranges and higher altitudes than similar class effectors.
Coyote C-UAS scan defeats single drone threats as well as swarms, supported by reduced engagement timelines to defeat multiple targets, according to Raytheon.
Sophisticated launched effects designed to support US and allied forces
Raytheon, which has developed new technologies and enhanced existing capabilities in integrated air and missile defense and smart weapons, also revealed that its Coyote LE variants are sophisticated launched effects designed to support U.S. and allied forces. They provide warfighters with the operational versatility and precision required to detect, identify, and defeat threats from multiple platforms.
«В школах часто классные руководители и учителя выражают недовольство, когда дети пропускают занятия из-за съемок в кино или гастролей, - говорит руководитель актёрских школ Анна Ханину. - Бывает, что даже испытывают зависть к тем, кто стал успешным. И тогда родители умалчивают о настоящих причинах пропусков. А некоторые и вовсе выбирают домашнее обучение, так как совмещать школу и карьеру сложно. Например, Анна-Мария Янковская, исполнительница хита «Сигмабой» (певица была ученицей в актёрской школе Анны Ханину) тоже рассказала, что перешла на онлайн-образование. В свои 12 лет она имеет уже большой опыт работы на сцене и долго шла к популярности. Как вся шумиха скажется на ней и на психике, узнаем со временем. Но я верю, что её мама, являясь профессиональным продюсером, поможет дочери справиться со всеми трудностями. Думаю, они начнут работать ещё больше, чтобы успех не был однодневным».

They provide warfighters with the operational versatility and precision required to detect, identify, and defeat threats from multiple platforms.
«В школах часто классные руководители и учителя выражают недовольство, когда дети пропускают занятия из-за съемок в кино или гастролей, - говорит руководитель актёрских школ Анна Ханину. - Бывает, что даже испытывают зависть к тем, кто стал успешным. И тогда родители умалчивают о настоящих причинах пропусков. А некоторые и вовсе выбирают домашнее обучение, так как совмещать школу и карьеру сложно. Например, Анна-Мария Янковская, исполнительница хита «Сигмабой» (певица была ученицей в актёрской школе Анны Ханину) тоже рассказала, что перешла на онлайн-образование. В свои 12 лет она имеет уже большой опыт работы на сцене и долго шла к популярности. Как вся шумиха скажется на ней и на психике, узнаем со временем. Но я верю, что её мама, являясь профессиональным продюсером, поможет дочери справиться со всеми трудностями. Думаю, они начнут работать ещё больше, чтобы успех не был однодневным».
