Trump responds to „traitor“ Marjorie Taylor Greene after „60 Minutes“ interview

Her relationship with Mr. Trump began to sour over records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was facing federal sex trafficking charges when he died by suicide in 2019.

Greene told „60 Minutes“ that after the president called her a traitor, she received a bomb threat on her house — and then, „several direct death threats on my son.“

Asked about her claim that the president was to blame for the threats to her and her son, Greene replied, „The subject line for the direct death threats on my son was his words: „Marjorie Traitor Greene.“

Former MAGA loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump policies are not America First

The affordability of health insurance caused Greene to side with the Democrats during the government shutdown in support of extending health care subsidies.

The Georgia representative said she never imagined she would be standing with Democrats on the Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Greene is also the only Republican member of Congress to publicly characterize the war in Gaza as a „genocide“ and she has also voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act. She said she‘s voted to denounce antisemitism before.

„It becomes an exercise that they force on Congress, and I simply got tired of it,“ she said, later adding, „We don‘t have to get on our knees and say it over and over again.“

Greene is one of the few Republicans willing to take on Mr. Trump.

DE Sign in Erika Kirk on Why She Forgave Her Husband‘s Killer | 2025 Dealbook Summit

Erika Kirk’s passionate advocacy for conservative values, alongside her husband Charlie, has long placed her in the public eye. In the wake of tragedy, how does she think about responsibility, resilience — and the work still to come? Watch this conversation about leading through uncertainty and how to turn hardship into purpose.

Guest: Erika Kirk, C.E.O. and Chair of the Board of Turning Point USA

Erika Kirk Speaks to the Liberal Elite—and Almost Sticks the Landing

Though Kirk has become a national figure since the death of her husband, her selection as the closing speaker at the annual summit for the Times’ business vertical was unexpected. But Sorkin explained the reason for the decision after the two got onstage. About a year ago, he said, he met and befriended Charlie. The two texted and emailed frequently about their political disagreements.

“Charlie Kirk was supposed to be here today. He was supposed to be part of a task force that we had been talking about for quite some time,” Sorkin said. He decided to instead extend the invitation to Erika Kirk after she spoke ahead of President Donald Trump at her husband’s televised memorial service. “I sat and watched the funeral by video, and I watched you, and I sat in awe…when you forgave the assassin…. It was at that moment I said to myself, I need to talk to Erika,” Sorkin explained.

New York City’s mayoral race and its message to Trump — and the world

Yes, New York is an overwhelmingly Democratic city. But its politics are still complicated and shifting. Its nearly 8.5 million people are spread across five distinct boroughs.

We visited all five to get a firsthand look as part of our All Over the Map project, which is aimed at tracking major stories through the eyes and experiences of everyday Americans.

US seizes survivors of strike on suspected drug sub in Caribbean

For the survivors of Thursday’s strike, the saga is hardly over. They now face an unclear future and legal landscape, including questions about whether they are now considered to be prisoners of war or defendants in a criminal case. The White House did not comment on the strike.

Petro also reiterated his demand that the United States reveal the identities of the 27 people killed so far in missile strikes on alleged drug-running boats in the Caribbean, amid concerns that Colombian nationals may be among the victims.

Although Washington urged Petro to retract his statements, CNN reported — citing Pentagon sources — that at least one of the attacks had targeted Colombian citizens.

Earlier, Petro had said his government believed Colombians were among those killed in the bombings.

A long ‘journey’ for Nobel chemistry winner born to Palestinian refugees

(October 8, 2025)

U.S. chemist Omar Yaghi, who on Wednesday became the first Palestinian scientist to win a Nobel Prize, reached the pinnacle of his profession after “quite a journey,” he said in remarks posted to X from the official Nobel account, recorded just after he learned the news.

He was born into a family of refugees, he told the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded him the Nobel Prize in chemistry for groundbreaking work in molecular architecture, along with collaborators Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson. “My parents could barely read or write,” he said.

Chatkontrolle: Der größte Angriff auf unsere Privatsphäre seit der Vorratsdatenspeicherung

(September 25, 2025)

Künftig sollen sämtliche privaten Nachrichten – ob bei WhatsApp, Signal, Threema oder in der E-Mail – vor der Verschlüsselung auf den Geräten selbst durchsucht werden. Algorithmen würden Fotos, Texte und Videos scannen, angeblich nur nach verdächtigen Inhalten. Doch einmal etabliert, könnte dieses System beliebig erweitert werden. Im Klartext: Die EU arbeitet an einem Mechanismus, der jede Nachricht eines jeden Bürgers präventiv kontrolliert. Das ist nichts anderes als eine digitale Hausdurchsuchung, flächendeckend, anlasslos und dauerhaft.
(…)
Parallel zur Chatkontrolle treibt Brüssel die Einführung einer digitalen Identität voran. Offiziell soll sie „Bequemlichkeit und Sicherheit“ bieten. In Wahrheit bedeutet sie, dass künftig jede digitale Handlung eindeutig einer Person zugeordnet werden kann. In Kombination mit der Chatkontrolle entstünde eine Infrastruktur, die es erlaubt, jede Nachricht einer identifizierten Person zuzuordnen, sie auszuwerten und zu speichern. Ein System, das jeder Diktatur die Arbeit erleichtern würde und das jetzt ausgerechnet in der Europäischen Union gebaut werden soll.

Kameras zur Echtzeit-Gesichtserkennung und -Verhaltenskontrolle werden zur Norm

(August 24, 2025)

Die Kontinentaleuropäer sollten sehr genau in die USA und nach Großbritannien schauen, wenn nicht gleich nach China, um zu sehen, wohin dieser Weg unweigerlich führt: In ein System, in dem der gesamte öffentliche Raum und alles was wir darin tun, fast ebenso umfassend digital überwacht und kontrolliert wird wie der digitale. Das macht die Regierungen und Konzerne übermäßig mächtig und ermöglicht totalitäres Regieren. Es macht uns noch abhängiger und erpressbarer von den USA, bei deren Geheimdiensten und IT-Konzernen die Daten aus aller Welt zusammenlaufen. Wenn wir das nicht wollen, müssen wir uns gegen jeden der – für sich genommen einigermaßen harmlos erscheinenden – Trippelschritte auf diesem Weg wehren.

Über die Welten zwischen Souveränität und Nationalismus

(September 1, 2018)

Anspruch des Nationalismus: Das eigene Land vor allen Anderen zu retten.

Souveränität hingegen bedeutet, zu gleichen Teilen das eigene Land vor allen Anderen, vor der eigenen Regierung, vor sich selbst und wenn nötig auch alle Anderen vor dem eigenen Land retten.

Nationalismus und / oder „Identitäre“ beziehen sich auf das Vaterland, die Nation, die entsprechende Flagge, sowie auf eine vermeintlich homogene und praktisch seit tausenden von Jahren unveränderte Kultur, Sprache und die Identität.

Souveränität begreift, dass das Vaterland immer das Vaterland und die Nation immer die Nation bleiben wird. Wenn man also im besten Falle eine Republik, oder zumindest eine andere Form der Demokratie (wie z.B. eine konstitutionelle Monarchie, siehe Spanien, Großbritannien oder Dänemark) haben will, muss man das sagen. Vaterland und Nation reichen dazu als Begriffe nicht aus. Vaterland und Nation gibt es auch, wenn der Absolutismus in Form eines Monarchen, Fürsten, Kaders, oder sonstigen Diktators regiert. Und dann ist nur dieser Souverän, aber nicht das Volk. Also keine Souveränität ohne Demokratie.

Can Netanyahu say just what he likes?

(October 25, 2015)

A political consultant once related how he lunched with Benjamin Netanyahu, who ordered a hamburger with fries. He was not supposed to be eating such foods – doctor’s orders. As they were finishing up, Bibi’s wife, Sarah, came in, saw the evidence and began to see red. Netanyahu, all righteous indignation, looked her straight in the eye and said he had eaten no such hamburger. The storyteller said he was convinced at that moment that Netanyahu himself believed it.

If apocryphal, it is definitely in character. Netanyahu regularly embraces bad ideas or even lies so totally that he convinces himself of their rightness. Others start to believe them too. His outlandish idea, uttered in a speech, was that Hitler would have been happy with just expelling Jews if a Palestinian, the then grand mufti of Jerusalem, had not suggested annihilation instead.

A.I. Generating Dreams & Turning Wi-Fi Routers Into Cameras to See Through Walls

Jul 3, 2023

0:00
aging the latest paper the one that
0:02
happened even after this which is
0:03
already better uses stable diffusion
0:06
uses the thing that you use to make art
0:09
like what should a thing that you use to
0:10
make art have anything to do with
0:11
reading your brain but of course it goes
0:13
further so in this one they said can
0:16
they understand
0:18
um the inner monologue the things you‘re
0:20
saying to yourself in your own mind my
0:23
dude by the way when you dream your
0:24
dream like your visual cortex runs in
0:26
Reverse so your dreams are no longer
0:28
safe
0:29
um but we‘ll try this so they had people
0:31
watch a video and just narrate what was
0:33
going on in the video in their mind so
0:35
there‘s a woman she gets hit in the back
0:37
she falls over this is what the computer
0:40
reconstructed the person thinking
0:43
see a girl looks just like me get hit in
0:45
the back and then she is knocked off
0:48
so our thoughts like are starting to be
0:51
decoded
0:53
yeah just think about what this means
0:55
for authoritarian States for instance
0:58
or if you want to generate images that
1:00
maximally activate your pleasure sensor
1:03
anything else okay but let‘s keep going
1:04
right to really get the sense of the
1:06
combinatorics of this how about can we
1:08
go from Wi-Fi radio signals you know
1:10
sort of like the Wi-Fi routers in your
1:12
house they‘re bouncing off radio signals
1:14
that work sort of like sonar can you go
1:16
from that to where human beings are to
1:19
images so what they did is they had
1:21
um you know a camera looking at a space
1:24
with people in it
1:25
um that‘s sort of like coming in from
1:26
one eye the other eye is the radio
1:28
signals so sonar from the Wi-Fi router
1:31
and they just learn to predict like this
1:33
is where the human beings are then they
1:35
took away the camera so all the AI had
1:38
was the language of radio signals
1:40
bouncing around a room and this is what
1:43
they‘re able to reconstruct
1:45
Real Time 3D pose estimation right so
1:50
suddenly AI has turned every Wi-Fi
1:53

router into a camera that can work in
1:56
the dark specially tuned for tracking
1:58
living beings
2:01
already

Thousands of Afghans brought to UK under secret programme after data leak

The breach revealed the names of Afghans who had helped British forces in Afghanistan before they withdrew from the country in chaotic circumstances in 2021.

The details emerged after a legal ruling known as a superinjunction was lifted. The injunction had been granted in 2023 after the Ministry of Defence argued that a public disclosure of the breach could put people at risk of extra-judicial killing or serious violence by the Taliban.
