Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is reportedly cross-checking federal data to prevent illegal aliens from receiving housing and employment benefits, according to a recent report.

DOGE’s effort is backed by President Donald Trump, who signed a Presidential Memorandum on Tuesday that aims to prevent illegal aliens “and other ineligible people” from being able to receive Social Security Act benefits. A White House fact sheet explains that the memorandum “directs the administration to ensure ineligible aliens are not receiving funds from Social Security Act programs.”

Jimmy Kimmel Blames Liberals’ ‘Completely Manufactured Outrage’ for Getting Trump Elected

0

Left-wing, late night ABC comedian Jimmy Kimmel is blaming the liberal cancel culture that squelched comedy for helping to get Donald Trump elected to a second term in the White House.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host insisted that intolerance of liberals is a “big part” of why Trump won his election against Kamala Harris last November.

MA Gov. Healey: Trump Bullying Harvard ‘Smacks of the Authoritarian Regimes of Past’

0

Governor Maura Healey (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Trump administration’s $2.2 billion freeze in grants to Harvard University “smacks of the authoritarian regimes of the past.”

Healey said, “Harvard is saying enough is enough. And let me be clear, I was a civil rights lawyer. I was attorney general, there is no place for anti-semitism in society on our college campuses or anywhere else. And there’s no question that Jewish students have been treated poorly on campuses around this country. It’s also the case that colleges need to do more and in fact, Harvard has done more.”

Walz: Trump Thinks Nuclear War Is Winnable — I’m Terrified He Will Act on That

0

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he was terrified because he believed President Donald Trump thinks nuclear war is winnable.

Walz said, “The Democrats are engaged like you’re talking about. I agree with you, a lot of people are going about their daily lives, and there’s just so much chaos and so many crises it doesn’t feel like the shift that we know is happening is there. I think the thing that was encouraging to me is people are picking up on it fast. This is not performative resistance, if you will. This is people really concerned and they’re telling their stories that are very personal, whether it’s Parkinson’s and depending on Medicaid or what’s happening with them at the VA. They’re telling those stories in front of their neighbors and it’s very raw. It’s a lot of emotion, but they’re very engaged.”

ICE Slams Maryland Sanctuary City for Releasing Illegal Migrant Charged with Murder

0

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has harshly criticized a Maryland sanctuary city for releasing an illegal migrant charged with murder.

“ICE Baltimore says the sanctuary county of Prince George’s County in Maryland ignored their detainer request and released a 2x previously deported Guatemalan illegal alien alleged murderer into the community,” reported Bill Melugin of Fox News on Tuesday. “32-year-old Rene Pop-Chub is facing pending murder charges in Prince George’s County, but ICE says he was released from local custody last Tuesday with no cooperation or notification. ICE Baltimore found him and arrested him in Hyattsville, MD, on Saturday.”

U.S. Trade Deficit Plunges as Tariffs Take Effect

0

The U.S. trade deficit fell dramatically in April, a new report from the Commerce Department shows.

The gap between imports and exports dropped from $138.3 billion in March to $61.6 billion in April, the largest decline on record. The change is due to President Donald Trump’s decision to implement tariffs, with importers rushing to bring goods into the U.S. in March before tariffs took effect and demand dropping significantly in April with the activation of the import taxes. U.S. export growth also played a small role in narrowing the deficit; American exports grew three percent between March and April.

Ending the United States’ persistent trade deficit has been a major goal of the second Trump administration. “We have deficits with almost every country—not every country, but almost—and we’re going to change it,” the president said in February when rolling out a series of tariffs against China, Canada, and Mexico. 

Since then, Trump has also announced a universal 10 percent baseline tariff and additional “reciprocal” tariffs on over a hundred countries, adjusted to the trade deficit of each country with the U.S. Many of those tariffs are currently suspended, pending trade negotiations, but are set to return next month if no deals are reached.

The post U.S. Trade Deficit Plunges as Tariffs Take Effect appeared first on The American Conservative.

Fossil Tracks Found in Australia Push Back Origin of Reptiles by 35 Million Years

0

Paleontologists have discovered fossilized tracks of a reptile-like animal — securely dated to the early Tournaisian age of the Carboniferous period, about 355 million years ago — in the Snowy Plains Formation of Victoria in Australia. This discovery indicates that such animals originated in the southern supercontinent Gondwana, of which Australia was a central part.

Medical Care and Hygiene among Chimpanzees Much More Widespread than Thought

0

Primatologists have documented and analyzed both previously reported and newly observed instances of self-directed and other-directed wound care, snare removal, and putatively medicinal hygiene behaviors in the Sonso and Waibira chimpanzee communities of the Budongo Forest in Uganda. They’ve observed self-directed wound care behaviors such as wound licking, leaf-dabbing, pressing fingers to wounds, and the application of chewed plant material to wounds, as well as a successful self-directed snare removal. They’ve also documented self-directed hygiene behaviors including postcoital genital leaf wiping and post-defecation leaf wiping.

Weather Report from Saturn’s Moon Titan: Partly Cloudy with Occasional Methane Showers

0

Using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope, astronomers found evidence of cloud convection in the northern hemisphere of Titan. Most of Titan’s lakes and seas are located in that hemisphere, and are likely replenished by an occasional rain of methane and ethane. Webb also has detected a key carbon-containing molecule that gives insight into the chemical processes in Titan’s complex atmosphere.

These images of Titan, taken by Webb on July 11, 2023 (top row), and the Keck II telescope on July 14, 2023 (bottom row), show methane clouds (white arrows) appearing at different altitudes in Titan’s northern hemisphere. Image credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI / Keck Observatory.

Study: Flamingos Use Their Beaks and Morphing Feet to Create Water Tornados for Prey Capture

0

New research led by the University of California, Berkeley and the Georgia Institute of Technology reveals that flamingos, far from being passive filter-feeders, are active predators that use flow-induced traps to capture agile invertebrates.

Flamingos feed by dragging their flattened beaks forward along the bottom of shallow lakes. To increase the efficiency of feeding, they stomp dance to churn the bottom, create an upwelling vortex with their heads and clap their beaks constantly to draw food, like brine shrimp, into their mouths. Image credit: Aztli Ortega.

Aztecs Preferred Green Obsidian from Sierra de Pachuca, New Study Reveals

0

Archaeologists have explored the use of obsidian — a volcanic glass used for tools and ceremonial objects and one of the most important raw materials in pre-Columbian times — in the Mexica (Aztec) Empire. They’ve analyzed 788 obsidian artifacts, including multiple types of objects and contexts, excavated from the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan (c. 1375-1520 CE), the main temple and core of the Empire located in what is now Mexico City. They’ve found that Aztecs preferred green obsidian from Sierra de Pachuca, but continuously consumed this material from seven additional places. The findings suggest a sophisticated economy that relied not only on conquest but on active long-distance trade, even with rival polities.
