"There are few doubts in the White House about Jill 'Lady Macbeth' Biden's role in covering up her husband's cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election.

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made that point crystal clear from the press room podium Thursday, saying the former first lady 'needs to answer' for 'lying to the American people' and 'shielding her husband away from the cameras.' ...

"What is becoming clear is that the social-climbing former first lady and the aide she calls her 'work husband,' Arizona-born former child actor Anthony Bernal, played a bigger role in this con job than previously has been acknowledged."

"Harvard University fired a professor after finding that she fabricated research used in studies on dishonesty.

"Francesca Gino, a star business professor at the Ivy League, was stripped of her title this past week after Harvard administrators informed business faculty of their decision, GHB reported.

"An investigation into her work was launched in 2023 after a trio of data bloggers -- Uri Simonsohn, Leif Nelson and Joe Simmons -- presented what they said was evidence of academic fraud in four studies co-authored by Gino, noting that they also 'believe that many more Gino-authored papers contain fake data.'

"Gino was a rising professional at Harvard and her behavioral research studies relating to cheating, lying and dishonesty received widespread media coverage over the past decade."

"Dario Amodei -- CEO of Anthropic, one of the world's most powerful creators of artificial intelligence -- has a blunt, scary warning for the U.S. government and all of us:

"AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs -- and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office.

"Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop 'sugar-coating' what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.

"Why it matters: Amodei, 42, who's building the very technology he predicts could reorder society overnight, said he's speaking out in hopes of jarring government and fellow AI companies into preparing -- and protecting -- the nation.

"Few are paying attention. Lawmakers don't get it or don't believe it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it. Many workers won't realize the risks posed by the possible job apocalypse -- until after it hits."

"Senate Republicans are deeply divided over President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' which the House passed by a single vote last week, setting up a battle in the upper chamber between moderates and conservatives that is likely to drag on well into July.

"GOP senators are vowing to rewrite the bill, but they're still weeks away from putting together a package that can muster the 51 votes it needs to pass, according to GOP senators and aides.

"The more senators change the legislation, the more difficult it will be to pass again through the House -- where Republicans control a slim 220-212 majority. Identical legislation must be approved by both chambers before it can go to Trump for his signature.

"Centrist GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Thom Tillis (N.C.) are facing off against conservatives such as Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) over potential cuts to Medicaid benefits, the phaseout of renewable energy incentives and other deficit-reduction measures that conservatives say don't go far enough."

"Federal judges are working overtime to defy President Trump.

"How much thought have they given to what happens if he defies them in turn?

"So far, Trump has been obeying the court orders coming from mostly leftist federal district judges, even when those orders are deeply questionable.

"Law professor Jonathan Turley calls it 'injunctivitis,' while Harvard Law's Adrian Vermeule says that district courts' nationwide restraining orders 'are basically an automatic judicial veto on all new policy.'

"'Whatever form of government that is, let's please not call it "democracy,"' Vermeule notes."

"And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me."

"Across the country, a new defense is being heard in state and federal courtrooms. From Democratic members of Congress to judges to city council members, officials claim that their official duties include obstructing the official functions of the federal government. It is a type of liberal license that excuses most any crime in the name of combating what Minn. Gov. Tim Walz called the 'moodern-day Gestapo' of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"The latest claimant of this license is Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a protest at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. McIver is shown on video forcing her way into an ICE facility and striking and shoving agents in her path."

"Members of the press have hit upon a deliberate strategy to influence the debate surrounding immigrant deportations: Lead with emotion, then trickle out facts, perhaps selectively.

"The coverage follows a pattern. First, the headline presents the deportee as a blameless bystander. Then come the laments -- how the individual has been 'ripped' from his community, how his family is in turmoil, how his life has been upended, and so on.

"These individuals are often portrayed using unofficial but undeniably American labels: 'Maryland dad,' 'Georgetown scholar,' and 'Harvard researcher.' Rarely, if ever, are they identified by nationality. Rarer still is any early detailed mention of criminal charges or convictions, where applicable. When details of accused or convicted wrongdoing emerge, they are buried deep within the piece, concealed beneath the advocacy quotes and appeals to sentiment.

"This editorial sleight of hand has become too consistent to attribute to anything but intent. It is a conscious effort to steer the immigration debate in a direction that unequivocally favors the deportees."

"The Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service are investigating a social media post by former FBI Director James Comey that several U.S. officials interpreted as calling for the assassination of President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday.

"In a now-deleted post on Instagram, Comey shared a photo of what he described as a 'shell formation' on a beach that formed the numbers '8647.' The post was swiftly condemned by administration officials, Republican lawmakers and Trump allies who said it blatantly targeted Trump, the 47th president of the United States.

"According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, 'eighty-six' can informally mean 'to get rid of.'"

"Not long after Michelino Sunseri, a professional mountain runner, finished a race across Grand Teton last fall, he found himself on the receiving end of a Justice Department criminal charge. His offense? Running on a closed trail, for which he could end up serving six months in jail.

"We are not making this up.

"Last Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to prevent such gross abuses. It is one of the most important -- and underappreciated -- actions he's taken.

"The 'crime' Sunseri committed wasn't a federal law passed by Congress. It was a crime invented by the National Park Service -- one of some 300,000 federal crimes (although nobody knows exactly how many there are) that unelected bureaucrats have conjured up when writing regulations.

"What's more, many of these regulatory crimes are 'strict liability' offenses, which means that you don't need to have criminal intent to be charged with a crime."
