The U.S. Department of Justice has filed suit to revoke the naturalized citizenship of Manuel Rocha, the former American diplomat exposed in 2023 as a long-running espionage asset of Communist Cuba. Not since Alger Hiss was unmasked as a Soviet spy has the State Department—and the nation—suffered such a profound betrayal by a senior diplomat. Rocha was a Colombian-born immigrant who became a naturalized American citizen in his late 20s. Evidence suggests that Cuban intelligence recruited him before his naturalization and encouraged him to pursue a career in the U.S. Foreign Service. Yet beyond the outrage provoked by Rocha’s treason…

But the intensity of the reactions it’s sparked, from both supporters and fierce critics, reveals something much bigger at play. For many watchers, Section 224 isn’t merely a technical tweak; it’s become a symbol of larger, often uncomfortable questions about…

From Judge Robert Hinkle (N.D. Fla.) May 27 in Shanks v. Schwadron: Shanks was an archaeologist employed at the National Park Service. His supervisor {Mr. Russo}, also an archaeologist, … and Mr. Shanks were the subject of an inspector general’s investigation …. After an investigation, the inspector general issued a report that included the following facts, which are largely undisputed. A collector approached Mr. Russo with an offer to sell the Park Service items retrieved from burial mounds on Tyndall Air Force Base. The report refers to these as potsherds, defined as pottery fragments found at archaeological sites. Items placed…

It’s hardly news that you shouldn’t file briefs with AI-hallucinated cases. But should you check all of your opponent’s citations to see if they’re hallucinated, so that you can alert the court to that? I at first thought not. Naturally, if a citation is critical to the opponent’s argument, you’ll want to read the case the opponent is citing, and alert the court if the case doesn’t actually exist. But many citations are on tangential points, cited for uncontroversial matters; there isn’t much reason to try to track them down. Indeed, even using a tool such as Westlaw’s document analysis…

Before going on about the US government’s decision to give disclosure, first, let’s give the subject about extraterrestrial presence some due context.  People have many worries in their lives, such as how they will survive economy crashes, energy shortages, how to pay off credit card loans with 30% interest charges, wondering what will happen if their jobs get taken over for instance by AI white-collar robots as this could be many. And what about those energy sapping AI data centers…? -Maybe the last thing they really want to talk about right now is the subject of extraterrestrials…  Then there’s the…
