“They’re behind schedule, and so the President wants to make sure we beat the Chinese,”
acting NASA coordinator Sean Duffy said of SpaceX.
"[Trump] wants to get there in his term. So I’m in the process of opening that contract up.
I think we’ll see companies like Blue [Origin] get involved, and maybe others.
We’re going to have a space race in regard to American companies competing to see who can actually lead us back to the Moon first.”
There are a coupl…

Diagnostics of cognitive failures in multi-agent expert systems using dynamic evaluation protocols and subsequent mutation of the processing context
The rapid evolution of neural architectures - from multilayer perceptrons to large-scale Transformer-based models - has enabled language models (LLMs) to exhibit emergent agentic behaviours when equipped with memory, planning, and external tool use. However, their inherent stochasticity and multi-step decision processes render classical evaluation methods inadequate for diagnosing agentic performance. This work introduces a diagnostic framework for expert systems that not only evaluates but als…

Cuckoo Attack: Stealthy and Persistent Attacks Against AI-IDE
Modern AI-powered Integrated Development Environments (AI-IDEs) are increasingly defined by an Agent-centric architecture, where an LLM-powered Agent is deeply integrated to autonomously execute complex tasks. This tight integration, however, also introduces a new and critical attack surface. Attackers can exploit these components by injecting malicious instructions into untrusted external sources, effectively hijacking the Agent to perform harmful operations beyond the user's intention or awar…

DOJ vowed to punish those who disrupt Trump's immigration crackdown. Dozens of cases have crumbled

Dozens of felony cases have crumbled in DOJ's push to punish protesters
The Justice Department has embarked on a months-long effort to prosecute people accused of assaulting federal officers during protests of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Attorney General Pam Bondi has vowed such offenders will face “severe consequences.” But DOJ has struggled to deliver on that commitment, according to a review by The Associated Press of 166 federal criminal cases brought since May against protesters in four Democratic-led cities at the epicenter of demonst…

12 ordinary LA jurors say “No!” to ICE goons and federal prosecutors.
At least part of the constitution still lives and does its job:
the Sixth Amendment's right to a jury trial to decide criminal charges.
Jury acquits L.A. man who towed immigration agent’s car during TikTok influencer’s arrest
-- Susan E Seager

A month into the new Trump administration,
on the predawn streets of suburban Maryland,
a high-ranking ICE official stood alongside a Mazda sedan that his officers had just stopped.
The official told a local TV reporter at the scene what was about to happen.
“He can either give us a license,”
he said,
“or we’ll smash the fucking window out and drag him out.”
Then, as the driver refused to exit the car, officers broke the glass

“We’ll Smash the Fucking Window Out and Drag Him Out”
We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.
