🇺🇸 U.S. DEPORTED RECORD 61,680 GUATEMALANS IN 2024 According to Guatemala's Migration Institute, the US deported a record 61,680 Guatemalan citizens in 2024. This exceeds the previous high of 55,302 in 2023. The increased deportations came ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House, as he has vowed mass deportations. Guatemala estimates 2.7 million of its citizens live in the US, but only 400,000 have legal documentation. Remittances from Guatemalans in the US amounted to nearly $21 billion in 2024, equivalent to 19% of Guatemala's GDP. Source: NewsMax

🇺🇸AARON LEVIE: MORE DEMOCRATS WILL SUPPORT DOGE "Some of the cross-party elements in Trump's cabinet might pull in more of the Democrat party than would usually happen.

🇺🇸AARON LEVIE: THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND ELON “I think there's been this underlying notion that Elon doesn't understand the government enough to be able to change it. It might actually be the case that the government doesn't understand Elon.

🚨🇬🇧AI DETECTS ADHD WITH 95% ACCURACY UK scientists just gave ADHD detection a futuristic upgrade. Using machine-learning to analyze videos of people squirming, zoning out, and fiddling during tasks, their AI nailed diagnoses with 95.5% accuracy—leaving pricey brain scans like MRI and EEG in the dust. It’s cheaper, faster, and smarter, but there’s a catch: the AI struggles more with women, whose "prolonged small actions" apparently confuse the tech. Still, big win for fidgeters everywhere—just don’t forget to smile for the camera. Source: PsyPost

Suddenly, you can actually render in real-time: a video game, a movie, a visual experience. And it goes to this point that we're unleashing the capacity for human imagination and creativity with these systems because it's no longer just a look-a-like 2-dimensional image.

🚨🇩🇪CONFIRMED | DEADLY CHRISTMAS MARKET ATTACK IN GERMANY: SUSPECT IDENTIFIED The man accused of driving a car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing two people (including a child) and injuring dozens, has been identified as Taleb A., a 50-year-old Saudi doctor. Taleb A. fled Saudi Arabia in 2006, gained refugee status in 2016, and lived in Bernburg, Germany, where he worked as a doctor and psychotherapist. He was outspoken online, criticizing Germany’s immigration policies, claiming the government was promoting Islamization, and supporting the conservative AfD party. Police say the attack is a suspected act of terror and are continuing operations in Magdeburg and Bernburg. The attack occurred just one day after the anniversary of the 2016 Berlin Christmas market attack, which killed 12 people. Source: NY Post

SCI-FI’S IMPOSSIBLE FUTURES ARE BECOMING TODAY’S REALITY From videophones in The Jetsons to touchscreen tablets in Star Trek, science fiction has an uncanny way of predicting the future. Self-driving cars, once seen only in movies like 'I, Robot,' are already being tested, and wearable devices like Apple Vision Pro bring us closer to augmented realities. Even concepts like space tourism are becoming real with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin. Oh, and of course, Elon will soon get us to Mars. The question is no longer if, but when. The gap between sci-fi dreams and our reality is closing fast—and it’s just the beginning. Source: EarthDay Image Source: Nautilus

🇺🇸 SENATE PASSES FUNDING BILL 85-11, DODGES GOV’T SHUTDOWN The US Senate followed the House in approving a funding bill for federal agencies through mid-March—just half an hour after the midnight deadline expired. In an 85-11 vote, lawmakers avoided sending 800,000 federal workers home without pay. Nothing like cutting it close to keep things exciting on Capitol Hill. Sources: AP, ACYN, AFP

🇺🇸$200K IN CAMPAIGN CASH—STRAIGHT TO THE SANDERS FAMILY NONPROFIT In 2023, the Sanders Institute, co-founded by Bernie Sanders’ wife and stepson, quietly reemerged—and not without controversy. The highlight? A $200,000 transfer from Sanders' campaign funds. Back in 2021, the nonprofit raised $716,000, with 40% spent on salaries, including $152,653 for his stepson. Promised projects fell flat, delivering recycled content and little original work. Transparency? Maybe. But it’s the kind that still raises eyebrows. Source: Fox News

🇺🇸 SPEAKER JOHNSON NAVIGATES PRESSURE TO PASS CRUCIAL FUNDING BILL With a shutdown hours away, Speaker Mike Johnson managed to pass a bipartisan funding bill after previous failed attempts. Under intense pressure from Trump to include a debt ceiling hike, Johnson worked around the demand, focusing instead on disaster relief and temporary funding through March. The Senate passed it 85-11 just past the deadline. At midnight, the White House announced it had halted shutdown preparations. Source: AP News

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: SENATE GREENLIGHTS PLAN C TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT FUNDED—FINALLY After missing the midnight deadline and sparking a brief government shutdown, the Senate passed a stopgap bill early Saturday to keep federal operations running through March. Yes, it took three tries to get here. The bill includes disaster relief and farming aid but dodges Trump’s push to suspend the debt ceiling—because heaven forbid Congress tackles a big issue head-on. “Plan C” came after a bipartisan plan ignored GOP priorities and a Trump-backed proposal was torpedoed in the House. Looks like Washington chose the path of least resistance, leaving Trump’s call for a long-term fix on hold. I guess Congress is saying "Why solve a problem today when you can kick it down the road until March?" Biden says he’ll sign the bill, sending everyone home for the holidays—because who needs another political meltdown before Christmas? Source: CNN

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 JUDGE SLAMS ISRAELI SPYWARE FIRM OVER WHATSAPP SPYWARE LAWSUIT A federal judge sanctioned Israeli spyware firm NSO Group for dodging court orders in WhatsApp’s lawsuit over Pegasus, the spyware that allegedly hacked 1,400 phones, including those of journalists and activists. NSO tried blaming Israeli law for refusing to share the full source code, offering access only in Israel. The judge called the excuse “simply impracticable” for a U.S. trial and hit NSO with sanctions, saying it broke U.S. computer fraud laws. Nice try, though. Pegasus lets hackers control your phone’s camera, mic, and location—even through a missed call. NSO insists it only sells to “vetted” governments, but the U.S. blacklisted it in 2021. WhatsApp Spokesperson: “After five years of litigation, we're grateful for today's decision. NSO can no longer avoid accountability for their unlawful attacks on WhatsApp, journalists, human rights activists and civil society." Source: Courthouse News

🚨 EARLY-STAGE CANCER? THERE’S A FINGERPRINT FOR THAT Scientists in Barcelona have found a way to catch cancer early by reading ribosome “fingerprints.” Ribosomes, the cell’s protein factories, carry chemical marks that are like molecular name tags—and cancer cells can’t keep theirs intact. Using nanopore sequencing (think a portable lab in your hand), researchers scanned ribosomal RNA from lung cancer patients and spotted these messed-up marks with near-perfect accuracy. Even stage I cancers couldn’t hide. Talk about getting caught red-handed. Next goal? Turning this into a simple blood test. No cutting, no drama, just science kicking cancer where it hurts.

🚨 SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A NEW WEIRD, WIGGLY STATE OF MATTER?! Physicists found “quantum spin liquid” in a material called pyrochlore cerium stannate, where magnetic particles refuse to chill—even at -459.67°F. Using neutron scattering, they spotted “spinons,” particles that split a magnetic charge in half and act like they’re stuck in a never-ending game of quantum tag. These particles even swap light-like waves, defying normal physics in ways that scream, “Science is wild.” This breakthrough not only proves quantum spin liquids exist but might lead to quantum computers—or at least some mind-blowing new physics.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRANIAN OFFICER CHARGED IN MURDER OF AMERICAN TEACHER Mohammad Reza Nouri, 36, an Iranian officer with the IRGC, allegedly masterminded the murder of Stephen Troell, a Tennessee teacher living in Baghdad. Prosecutors say Nouri spied on Troell’s daily routine, collected details like his address and even his kids’ names, and coordinated a hit squad. The squad ambushed Troell as he drove home with his wife. Nouri fled to Iran after the attack, where he gave the killers a warm welcome and called Troell a spy. Now Nouri’s facing charges for terrorism and murder. If convicted, it’s life in prison—or worse. Source: Department of Justice Media Source: @GLNoronha

🚨🇺🇸 FORMER BANK TELLER BUSTED FOR SWIPING $180K FROM CUSTOMERS Derek Aut, 28, of Saugus, MA, approximately 9 miles northeast of Boston, allegedly decided being a TD Bank teller wasn’t paying enough—so he “borrowed” $180K from two customers. When one noticed the missing cash, prosecutors say Aut panicked and tried covering it up by swiping from another account. Spoiler: It didn’t work. TD Bank fired him in April 2024 and called the cops. If convicted, he’s looking at 30 years in prison and a $1M fine. That’s a lot of overdraft fees. Source: NBC News Boston
