🇺🇸👨‍⚖️ — Jury deliberations have begun in disgraced rapper and music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial.

🇺🇸 — The Department of Justice has sued the City of Los Angeles over its "sanctuary city" policies, arguing they violate the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution that gives federal law priority over state and local laws if they contradict.

➡️ The lawsuit argues that LA's sanctuary city policies, designed to limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities to protect illegal immigrants, should not be enforced due to the laws treating federal immigration agents differently, prohibiting contractors and sub-contractors of Los Angeles from providing information to federal immigration authorites, and Los Angeles not enforcing certain immigration laws.

➡️ Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement to FOX News that "sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles. Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens are undermining law enforcement at every level – it ends under President Trump.”

➡️ Users can report ICE activity happening within 5 miles of their location, and all app users will receive a notification as soon as ICE activity is reported within 5 miles of their location.

🇺🇸 — Donald Trump has unveiled the perfect thing to pair the Daddy shirt with: Trump Fragrances, all about Winning, Strength, and Success! The website is very vague on the actual scents of most of these perfumes and colognes, so you'll just have to trust the President knows how to make the scents to help you have fun and keep winning.

🇺🇸 — Elon Musk's current pinned post on his X profile criticising the failures of both main American political parties to reduce America's national debt.

🤖🗳 — Mark Zuckerberg has announced the creation of "Meta Superintelligence Labs", and has affirmed his committment towards developing AI more intelligent than humans in an internal memo.

As the pace of AI progress accelerates, developing superintelligence is coming into sight. I believe this will be the beginning of a new era for humanity, and I am fully committed to doing what it takes for Meta to lead the way...

...In parallel, we're going to start research on our next generation of models to get to the frontier in the next year or so. I've spent the past few months meeting top folks across Meta, other AI labs, and promising startups to put together the founding group for this small talent-dense effort. We're still forming this group and we'll ask several people across the AI org to join this lab as well.
Meta is uniquely positioned to deliver superintelligence to the world. We have a strong business that supports building out significantly more compute than smaller labs. We have deeper experience building and growing products that reach billions of people. We are pioneering and leading the AI glasses and wearables category that is growing very quickly. And our company structure allows us to move with vastly greater conviction and boldness. I'm optimistic that this new influx of talent and parallel approach to model development will set us up to deliver on the promise of personal superintelligence for everyone.

➡️ Meta has hired several former tech top executives for Meta's AI venture, and was reportedly offering signing bonuses as high as $100 million dollars.
