Shouting erupts amid moment of silence for Kirk - Lemmy.World
>With every lawmaker standing up in quiet observance, Rep. Lauren Boebert
(R-Colo.) demanded a spoken prayer. >“Silent prayers get silent results,” she
said, leading to jeers from Democrats, with some shouting about a school
shooting that also happened Wednesday. Someone hasn’t read their Bible. >Matthew
6:5-6 >“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray
standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly
I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into
your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your
Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Even the Bible says
Boebert should shut her mouth.

Ghislaine Maxwell provided no incriminating information during meetings with deputy AG on high-profile individuals who interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, transcript shows - Lemmy.World
>The woman thought to have the most direct knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s
decades-long sex-trafficking operation claims there was no client list, no
blackmail scheme and – to her knowledge – no high-profile Epstein associates who
committed illicit acts in connection with the notorious sex-offender’s crimes.
>That’s according to an account provided by Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator
Ghislaine Maxwell to a top official of the U.S. Department of Justice during a
highly unusual two-day interview session last month, according to a transcript
and audio of the conversation released Friday by the DOJ. After her interviews
with the DoJ, Maxwell was moved to a Club Fed prison where all inmates are
eligible for work release during their detention. The fact that she gave no
incriminating evidence about Epstein associates, when it is plainly obvious to
everyone that she has such evidence, shows that she was not rewarded for
cooperating with the investigation, but for obstructing it. Archive link:

>“Donald, thanks for the compliment! Let’s not lie to the public, you and I both
know you have no authority to take over Chicago. By the way, where are the
Epstein files?” Pritzker wrote on X shortly after the remarks.

Trump says he's placing Washington police under federal control and deploying the National Guard - Lemmy.World
>WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he’s placing the
Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploying the
National Guard to make the nation’s capital safer. >Trump has promised new steps
to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington, prompting the city’s mayor to
voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the
streets. >Ahead of a news conference, Trump said Monday on social media that the
nation’s capital would be “LIBERATED today!” He said he would end the “days of
ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people.” Violent crime in Washington
D.C. is actually at a 30 year low.

ICE agents allegedly pee in school parking lot near preschool playground - Lemmy.World
>In the video, several marked and unmarked Customs and Border Protection
vehicles can be seen pulling into the parking lot as several apparently armed
agents got out of the vehicles. >School officials in Pico Rivera are calling for
a federal investigation after immigration enforcement officers were seen on
surveillance video appearing to urinate in the campus parking lot. >The incident
happened on the morning of June 17, at Ruben Salazar High School in Pico Rivera.
The El Rancho Unified School District shared surveillance video from the school
parking lot on YouTube on Wednesday. >Over the next few minutes, nearly a dozen
agents are seen walking to a part of the parking lot, near a couple of shipping
containers. The agents seem to reach for their pants while walking to covered
areas, stand still for several moments, then walk away. The district says school
staff saw the agents peeing. ICE agents exposed themselves to staff in a parking
lot next to a preschool playground and an in-session elementary school. These
agents need to be identified and prosecuted just like anyone else would be in
such circumstances.
AI Overviews hallucinates that Airbus, not Boeing, involved in fatal Air India crash

AI Overviews hallucinates that Airbus, not Boeing, involved in fatal Air India crash - Lemmy.World
>Not all searches get AI answers, but Google has been steadily expanding this
feature since it debuted last year. One searcher on Reddit spotted a troubling
confabulation when searching for crashes involving Airbus planes. AI Overviews,
apparently overwhelmed with results reporting on the Air India crash, stated
confidently (and incorrectly) that it was an Airbus A330 that fell out of the
sky shortly after takeoff. We’ve run a few similar searches—some of the AI
results say Boeing, some say Airbus, and some include a strange mashup blaming
both Airbus and Boeing. It’s a mess. Always remember that AI, or more
accurately, LLMs are just glorified predictive text like on your phone. Don’t
trust them. Maybe someday they will be reliable, but that day isn’t today.___

Kilmar Abrego Garcia on way back to US to face criminal charges: Sources - Lemmy.World
>More than two months after the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly
deported Abrego Garcia from Maryland to his native El Salvador, a federal grand
jury has indicted him for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within
the United States, ABC News has learned. >A two-count indictment, which was
filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month, alleges Abrego
Garcia, 29, participated in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented
migrants from Texas to the interior of the country, according to sources briefed
on the indictment. I can only assume this means charges will be forthcoming
against Texas Governor Abbot soon for the same charges.

The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on May 21 and was captured on video,
showing the officers exchanging blows and shoves. One of them, visibly agitated,
used her radio to request the presence of a supervisor, warning that “I need a
supervisor here… immediately before I beat this girl up.” Archive Link
