Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.

Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.

The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.

NEW: While Meta publicly said it was still deciding whether to deploy facial recognition in its smart glasses, the company was distributing it to millions of users

We found an unreleased facial-recognition system embedded in the Meta's AI companion app

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

UPDATE: Dulce Diaz was in fact a U.S. citizen and the Trump admin has now acknowledged the fact and issued her a passport. Below was DHS’s angry (and utterly false) claim to the contrary.

Proof that, yes, ICE has at times detained US citizens in error.

@Nigel_Farage Are you getting desperate, lad?

Maybe keep your crypto millions for something else. 😂

The Justice Department removed information about the January 6 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfare has preserved and posted it

The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, ratcheting up efforts to identify social media critics of government deportation efforts. https://t.co/7juwC4RkJo

You introduced a bill in the Senate to rename a highway after the scorpion. That was two weeks ago.

Can you not bring yourself to mention his name?

@BasedMikeLee @JaniceWill47400 It’s bread and circuses,

and decadence for the ruling class paid for by the working class and foreign lobbies.

If history teaches us anything, we know what comes next.

The warrant sought "subscriber info" about those who "subscribed" to "The Don Lemon Show." The magistrate judge doesn't see how that would be evidence of a crime. ...

Across America, ICE's reign of lawlessness continues. Yesterday ICE agents in New Jersey used pepper spray against American citizens, including my friend @SenatorAndyKim, outside an ICE detention facility.

Americans have the right to peacefully assemble, and Members of Congress have the right and duty to conduct oversight of ICE facilities. We cannot allow the Administration to operate ICE as a paramilitary strike force for the President’s political agenda.

"Fifty-seven United States senators were able to do the right and obvious thing and voted to convict and bar that evil man from ever holding public office again, including seven Republican senators. John Cornyn, however, could not do what his oath of office required. I’m sure the senator was very lawyerly and eloquent in his explanation of why the man sitting in the seat of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln shouldn’t have been held responsible for the feces his mob spread all over the walls of our seat of government—but you know, and I know, and John Cornyn knows, that this little man didn’t want a primary challenge six freaking years later."

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. 

We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.

To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

My heart broke to see Americans fighting Americans in our streets yesterday. As I saw ICE agents tackling civilians and firing pepper balls into the crowd, I was overwhelmed by how broken we’ve become. We cannot normalize this violence. Here’s what happened at Delaney Hall: THREAD

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

We need to focus on solving the problem, but here’s what is standing in the way. It would be easy for ICE and GeoGroup to improve the conditions in the detention center. They could hire more doctors, but that’s less profit for GeoGroup. They could have better food or fix the extreme heat, but that’s less profit. (11/13)

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

What was left in the aftermath felt surreal. Many walked back towards the main site in a fresh daze. Some were receiving care from medics. I walked over to flush my own eyes as the burning from the pepper spray in my eyes and throat was getting worse. (9/13)

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

The armed agents pushed through the crowd, throwing several people onto the street. I ran over and stood between the ICE convoy and the crowd, trying to keep physical separation to prevent even more serious clashes. The last vehicle had an agent with a pepper ball gun and he started firing at our feet and past me towards the crowd. (7/13)
