Meta announced on Thursday that it will now notify parents if their teen discusses suicide or self-harm with the company’s Meta AI chatbot. Meta says it’s also working on the ability to contact emergency services if someone’s conversations suggest they may be at imminent risk of suicide.
Washington, D.C., is bracing for an unprecedented show of support as over 100 Navy SEALs prepare to descend on the nation’s capital, standing in solidarity with President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth, a decorated Army combat veteran and prominent conservative voice, has faced relentless media attacks in recent weeks.
The fake news media have leveled accusations ranging from outdated and disproven sexual misconduct claims to allegations of public drunkenness and financial mismanagement during his tenure at Concerned Veterans for America (CVA).
Critics on the right are pushing back hard against what they view as a deliberate effort to derail a nominee poised to shake up the Defense Department.
Randy Lair, a trustee at CVA, categorically denied the whistleblower allegations, describing them as “sensational fabrications designed to undermine a patriot.”
In an exclusive letter to the New York Post, Lair emphasized that Hegseth left CVA on good ...
‘Charlatan’ vaccine promoter Dr. Peter Hotez said multiple viruses will be unleashed on America one day after Trump is inaugurated next month.
“We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st,” Hotez said to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace before rattling off a list of viruses:
Of course, Dr. Hotez failed to mention the measles outbreaks and Polio cases are primarily a problem with the illegal migrants invading the US.
Dr. Peter Hotez previously made headlines for refusing to debate author, activist, then-presidential candidate, attorney and now Trump’s nominee for HHS, Robert Kennedy, Jr., on the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Rather than accept the challenge, Hotez lashed out at both Robert Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan, who invited the two to debate the facts on his show.
Hotez refused and ...
Several weeks of mysterious drone swarms over the skies of one New Jersey county near the military research and manufacturing facility Picatinny Arsenal have sparked concerns among residents and prompted an FBI investigation.
"It's kind of unsettling," Mike Walsh, a Morris County resident who has spotted the drones on numerous occasions, told local media outlet PIX11 News.
He said some drones "are very big, probably the size of a car."
Since Nov. 18, Walsh and many other residents have spotted these drones in the night sky.
"They're kind of go slow," he said, adding, "They come towards you. Then they change direction a little. They're all going different ways."
We first detailed the story on Nov. 19 in a note titled "Spy Drones? "Unusual Activity" Reported Over Morris County, New Jersey, Near Military Research Facility."
The potential national security threat piqued our interest, considering multiple reports that the mysterious drones were observed near Picatinny Arsenal.

In the weeks around the 2026 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, my phone kept buzzing with alerts about GLP-1 drugs and cancer. The headlines were everywhere—from NPR and The Washington Post to Substack and heated exchanges on social media—all circling the same claim: Ozempic might lower the risk of cancer.
In the first two weeks of July 2026, five of the largest defense investment decisions in modern European history arrived within days of one another: a $1.8 billion private fundraise for an AI defense startup, a NATO-wide $40 billion counter-drone commitment, a single German contract to deploy 50,000 AI-guided attack drones in Ukraine, a £5 billion British transformation program explicitly committing to weapons that make targeting decisions without per-strike human authorization, and a fresh $1.2 billion raise for a drone maker that positions itself as Europe's answer to Lockheed Martin. The convergence, reported today in a major CNBC synthesis, is not coincidental. It reflects a structural judgment: autonomous, software-defined warfare is no longer experimental. What drove each of these decisions to the same two-week window is the same thing driving all of them — a piece of palm-sized hardware that has quietly validated the entire premise of the investment surge in Ukrainian skies.
