Donald Trump announced he is pulling the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland,
although the troops already had a limited presence because those states had sued to block their deployment.

Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social that troops would return if “crime begins to soar again.”

The Trump administration has been battling lawsuits aimed at removing the National Guard from cities in blue states.

“We will come back, perhaps in a much differ…

Trump ends effort to bring National Guard to Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland
President Trump has announced the withdrawal of National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, citing reduced crime rates.

Partial Bloch--Kato Selmer groups of $B$-pairs as delta functors
In this article we revisit the partial Selmer groups introduced by Ding in cohomological degree one. On the subcategory of partially de Rham positive $B$-pairs we extend them to higher cohomological degree and show that the resulting groups form a cohomological delta functor satisfying a variant of the Euler--Poincaré characteristic formula and Tate duality.

Two things are worth noticing right now:
1. The military brass *did not* respond well to Trump and Hegseth.
2. The deployment to #Portland keeps getting delayed.
The military will never say "no" to the president (unless he's literally ordering them to open fire on unarmed civilians or something equally obviously illegal). But there are ways to not comply that don't necessarily involve refusal. Brass showing that they aren't aligned with Trump may weaken his billionaire backers, who might be realizing now that weak dictators who can't lead their militaries tend to get toppled... and their oligarch-backers tend to end up against walls.
If folks being ordered to send troops to #PDX don't want to comply, delaying until the there's an initial response from the lawsuit would be basically impossible to detect. The deployment to LA went far too fast, running into logistical challenges like troops sleeping on the floor. The delays we've already seen could indicate either a more careful approach or quiet resistance.
Trump will continue to escalate at every chance he gets. I would be surprised if PDX didn't give him a fight. I doubt the troops will become more interested in serving a guy who's stabbed them in the back and wasted their time at every opportunity.
It is still possible troops just won't deploy. Trump will make something up about how just the threat of an intervention was enough to make things safe or something like that. If we see that, it's 100% the military telling him to kick rocks because he's not competent enough to know when to back down.
Honestly, I think Trump wants revenge for the resistance PDX put up at the end of his last term. Any backing down from that is absolutely a big loss for him.

Digital Twins: McKean-Pontryagin Control for Partially Observed Physical Twins
Optimal control for fully observed diffusion processes is well established and has led to numerous numerical implementations based on, for example, Bellman's principle, model free reinforcement learning, Pontryagin's maximum principle, and model predictive control. On the contrary, much fewer algorithms are available for optimal control of partially observed processes. However, this scenario is central to the digital twin paradigm where a physical twin is partially observed and control laws are…

Dynamical system reconstruction from partial observations using stochastic dynamics
Learning stochastic models of dynamical systems underlying observed data is of interest in many scientific fields. Here we propose a novel method for this task, based on the framework of variational autoencoders for dynamical systems. The method estimates from the data both the system state trajectories and noise time series. This approach allows to perform multi-step system evolution and supports a teacher forcing strategy, alleviating limitations of autoencoder-based approaches for stochastic…

Empirical partially Bayes two sample testing
A common task in high-throughput biology is to test for differences in means between two samples across thousands of features (e.g., genes or proteins), often with only a handful of replicates per sample. Moderated t-tests handle this problem by assuming normality and equal variances, and by applying the empirical partially Bayes principle: a prior is posited and estimated for the nuisance parameters (variances) but not for the primary parameters (means). This approach has been highly successfu…

On Friday, federal judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island issued rulings
that could soon bring relief to millions of Americans whose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are set to expire on Nov. 1,
requiring the Trump administration to fund the program, at least partially while the legal proceedings continue.
The SNAP program, commonly referred to as food stamps, is among many government programs affectedby the ongoing shutdown,
