The Trump administration’s "crackdown on crime" in Washington has been propelled, in part, by an aggressive clampdown on guns,
with city and federal officials confiscating around 150 weapons since the president declared a crime emergency in the capital nearly three weeks ago.
“I’m pleased to report another 105 arrests have been made and 12 illegal guns taken off the streets of Washington, DC,”
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on social media on Thursday.

Crime Crackdown in D.C. Shows Trump Administration’s Uneasy Relationship With Guns
If President Trump’s actions were intended to drive a law-and-order wedge between Democratic big-city leaders and their constituents, it has also exposed a division in his own coalition.

It’s clear now that Hitler was just ahead of his time. If he were around today and had picked a different target, our Western governments would be calling him an ally and supporting his genocide with money, propaganda, violent repression of dissent within their own citizenry, and weapons. How do I know this? Because that’s exactly what they’re doing with the Hitler of our time: the wanted war criminal Netanyahu.

It is becoming very clear for everybody around the world that we have a US president with severe mental problems. It is all very funny but at the same time he wields enormous (military) power and nuclear weapons....

Weighted First Order Model Counting for Two-variable Logic with Axioms on Two Relations
The Weighted First-Order Model Counting Problem (WFOMC) asks to compute the weighted sum of models of a given first-order logic sentence over a given domain. The boundary between fragments for which WFOMC can be computed in polynomial time relative to the domain size lies between the two-variable fragment ($\text{FO}^2$) and the three-variable fragment ($\text{FO}^3$). It is known that WFOMC for \FOthree{} is $\mathsf{\#P_1}$-hard while polynomial-time algorithms exist for computing WFOMC for $…

Multimodal-enhanced Federated Recommendation: A Group-wise Fusion Approach
Federated Recommendation (FR) is a new learning paradigm to tackle the learn-to-rank problem in a privacy-preservation manner. How to integrate multi-modality features into federated recommendation is still an open challenge in terms of efficiency, distribution heterogeneity, and fine-grained alignment. To address these challenges, we propose a novel multimodal fusion mechanism in federated recommendation settings (GFMFR). Specifically, it offloads multimodal representation learning to the serv…

The Constitution was an attempt to solve the oldest political problem:
how to make liberty durable by making power difficult.
A system of government both sufficient to keep order,
but not so overbearing it snuffs out the rights of the people.
The principles behind its design
—divided authority, overlapping ambitions
—was drawn from centuries of failed experiments.
It was also intended to adapt,
to learn, to be amended as needed.
