A Berkeley chemical engineer who suffered years of unexplained illness discovered through a spy camera from Amazon that her coworker, David Xu, was poisoning her food and water with cadmium, a toxic heavy metal for nearly 18 months between 2017 and 2019. The victim experienced significant health problems and at times required emergency care at a hospital. Newly released video shows Xu appearing to put a substance in her water bottle in 2019.
Xu was arrested that year and charged with attempted murder and two counts of poisoning, offenses that could have sent him to prison for life. But under a plea deal, the attempted murder charge and one poisoning count were dropped. Xu pleaded no contest to one felony poisoning charge and received two years of probation, with credit for one day served. He completed probation in March and is now seeking to have his felony conviction dismissed.
🚨BREAKING: Delta Dental calls itself a "nonprofit" for the tax breaks, while its CEOs raked in $48 MILLION over four years.
Her pay jumped from $4.5M to $15M a year.
Meanwhile, they slashed dentist reimbursements and patients paid more.
This is how "nonprofits" game the system.

@BRICSinfo This is biggest lie. How do you take a 2000 ton object through earth atmosphere onto ground without causing a disnasaur extinction level crash.
🚨 BREAKING: The House has PASSED RepThomasMassie’s resolution to FORCE the release of names of Congressmen who used the Congressional slush fund to pay out for sexuaI misconduct settlements, 420-0
These are TAXPAYER DOLLARS being used to PAY OFF accusers.
And it’s all about to be public.
The Committee on Ethics must now preserve and public release all relevant records.
Exactly.
The key lesson is that when China becomes a serious player in an industry, the result is often a dramatic compression of margins across the board. We’ve seen this play out in LEDs, EVs, and lithium-ion batteries. Memory could be next, followed by AI models and, eventually, semiconductor manufacturing itself.
The government said 430 trees were removed from East Potomac over the weekend.
Judge: "On what universe did anyone in your office think this was acceptable?"
Government: "Your honor we did our best."
Judge: "No you did not do your best. You did your absolute worst."

Australia is facing one of the developed world’s highest inflation rates next year while unemployment climbs, according to new IMF projections that add to pressure on the Albanese government.
Inflation is forecast to remain above the RBA’s target band, while the jobless rate is expected to rise to 4.7 per cent in 2027.
With interest rates already at a 15-year high, the IMF warns the Middle East conflict could fuel further price pressures and weigh on economic growth.

Big story developing in Russia today.
Ukraine hit Yandex really hard.
The loss of 4 yandex data centers means Russia drones lose realtime data, businesses lose customer data, cloud storage disappears. It’s a huge disruption across Russia, and Belarus.
Late reports are Yandex is totally down across Russia.
This means dozens of apps used by people everyday are not working.
Ukraine really hit them last night. Also, more oil tanks are burning in several locations.
A lot of people have no email, and no way to do business today and the damage at Yandex is severe. The impact on the Russian military is immediate and it will cut down the drones they are sending into Ukraine.
Not one bot commented on this.
Usually it would be 7 to 10! You wouldn't see it because I can easily filter them, but none!
Ukraine has done great damage to Russian businesses and its military but it seems to have really hit their propaganda machine!

Trump's D.C. Chainsaw Massacre: Over 500 Historic Trees Gutted to Build a Millionaire's Golf Course
Donald Trump has begun actively destroying hundreds of trees in Washington, D.C., and the lack of mainstream coverage is absolutely criminal.
Please scream this from the rooftops and spread the word immediately! These aren't dead, dying, or invasive trees — these are perfectly healthy, decades-old oak and maple trees that are being brutally clear-cut. This disturbing footage from Rick Maese at The Washington Post exposes the truth: the Trump administration is massacring upwards of 500 healthy, historic trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.
But honestly, why are we surprised? This is just the latest chapter in Trump's complete and utter disregard for our nation's historic capital. It follows the exact same playbook as his shocking demolition of the White House East Wing, and the disastrous, botched "renovations" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that left an iconic American landmark falling apart and peeling. To make matters even more sickening, they've even been dumping toxic debris from the demolished East Wing right onto this very public parkland!
The National Park Service is trying to gaslight the public by claiming this ecological disaster is just routine maintenance, but we know the truth: they are gutting public land to build a glitzy, exclusive championship golf course. Residents across the city are rightfully furious and disgusted. Witnessing 500+ majestic trees being ripped out of the ground is an absolute horror show for the people living in this city.
Do not let them slide on this. Share this everywhere, expose this environmental atrocity, and follow for updates.
BREAKING: Federal judge orders superintendent of National Park Service to testify under oath at 10am this morning about removal of more than 500 trees Saturday at East Potomac Park.
The US is going to be forced by Chinese superiority to do this step. But by then the monetary base will be at least double that. My price target for gold therefore is at least 40,000 USD. This 10X move will materialize in less than 5 years.
