This is a good account of the ham-fisted use of AI in the MAHA report. AI has no understanding of science, and if it does get something right, it's because of the (human) choice of training materials. It's undisclosed use is dangerous and dishonest -like RFK Jr

White House MAHA Report may have garbled science by using AI, experts say
The report, led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was intended to address the reasons for the decline in Americans’ life expectancy.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced sweeping leadership changes Thursday
as part of an effort to dramatically ramp up arrests of illegal migrants. 
The “leadership realignment” comes as Trump administration officials push for ICE to make
a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests per day
– up from the 1,800 per day quota the White House initially demanded in January. 
As part of the shake-up, Kenneth Genalo is out as the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Ope…

A Sibling of AR Scorpii: SDSS J230641.47$+$244055.8 and the Observational Blueprint of White Dwarf Pulsars
Radio pulsating white dwarf (WD) systems, known as WD pulsars, are non-accreting binary systems where the rapidly spinning WD interacts with a low-mass companion producing pulsed non-thermal emission that can be observed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Only two such systems are known: AR Sco and eRASSU J191213.9$-$441044. Here we present the discovery of a third WD pulsar, SDSS J230641.47$+$244055.8. The optical spectrum is dominated by molecular bands from an M-dwarf companion, wit…
