The New Republic | Trump Has Made Bank Off Stocks From Companies With Federal Contracts by Edith Olmsted AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump has reportedly profited from millions of dollars in stock trades involving tech firms and government contractors that benefit from federal contracts, including Nvidia, AMD, Palantir, and others, according to a financial disclosure cited by NOTUS. The filing shows he bought sizable positions in Nvidia in early February and January 2026—coinciding with the company’s AI chip deals with Meta and subsequent approvals for sales to China—while also purchasing AMD stock that was later cleared for Chinese customers, and repeatedly buying and selling Palantir shares around large Department of Homeland Security contracts and his own public calls for investors to buy the stock. In the first quarter of 2026, Trump shifted from bonds to more than 3,600 individual trades, prompting the White House to claim his family was unaware of the transactions, a stance critics denounce as blatant corruption and market manipulation by the president who oversees the very agencies awarding these contracts.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Billionaire Trump Blows Deadline to Disclose Stock Trades Worth Millions by Wiktoria Gucia AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump was fined $200 twice in 2024 for failing to disclose stock trades on time, violating a federal rule that requires any transaction over $1,000 to be reported within 45 days; the fines came after the U.S. Office of Government Ethics revealed that he had not reported several large trades. The 79‑year‑old president, whose net worth is estimated at $6.5 billion, disclosed at least $220 million in financial transactions this year, including purchases of Nvidia stock shortly before a deal with Meta that boosted the share price, and buying and selling millions of dollars in Microsoft and Amazon shares around the time the Pentagon announced plans to use their technology. Critics note that 88 percent of the public opposes elected officials trading stocks while in office, arguing that such activity creates the appearance of profiting from insider knowledge; Trump’s investments are further scrutinized because they are managed by his sons rather than placed in blind trusts, raising concerns about potential influence over his holdings.

US Top News and Analysis | Hassett says AI isn't costing anybody their job right now — but tech layoffs keep coming AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that, despite a wave of tech layoffs at companies such as Amazon, Meta, Oracle and Block, there is “no sign in the data” that artificial‑intelligence technology is currently costing anyone their job; he emphasized that the administration is studying AI’s future impact on the workforce and has set up a task force to assess it, while firms cite AI‑driven automation and the move to smaller, highly skilled teams as reasons for recent staffing reductions.

The Guardian | Forget the AI job apocalypse. AI’s real threat is worker control and surveillance by Nazrul Islam AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article argues that the real threat of artificial intelligence at work isn’t mass unemployment but a growing divide between workers who use AI to augment their skills and those who are controlled and surveilled by opaque AI systems. While higher‑paid, autonomous roles (analysts, lawyers, managers) can benefit from AI as a “copilot” that speeds routine tasks and frees creativity, many lower‑paid workers face “bossware” that schedules, monitors, and judges performance, turning AI into a manager that dictates shifts, task timing and productivity metrics. This algorithmic management spreads from warehouses and gig platforms to corporate offices and schools, intensifying stress and eroding dignity, trust and control. The author calls for equitable AI skill training, transparent and contestable systems, and genuine worker participation in how AI is introduced, warning that without these safeguards the AI divide will cement a new, hidden inequality in the labour market.

Agi: Trump: Non contento dell'Italia, chi pensa che Iran possa avere arma nucleare non è intelligente AGI/Vista - "Non sono contento dell'Italia e non sono contento della Spagna. Loro ritengono che vada bene che l'Iran abbia un'arma nucleare. Chiunque pensi che vada bene che l'Iran abbia un'arma nucleare non è molto intelligente, e sarebbe una cosa terribile in futuro se venisse loro permesso di avere un'arma nucleare; avreste problemi come il mondo non ne ha mai visti prima, e questo non accadrà", così il Presidente degli Usa Donald Trump in un punto stampa alla Casa Bianca prima della sua partenza per la Florida.

AGI/Vista - "I'm not happy with Italy and I'm not happy with Spain. They believe it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Anyone who thinks it's okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon isn't very smart, and it would be a terrible thing in the future if they were allowed to have one; you'd have problems like the world has never seen before, and that won’t happen,” said U.S. President Donald Trump at a press briefing at the White House before his departure for Florida.

Feed: All Latest | Elon Musk Seemingly Admits xAI Has Used OpenAI's Models to Train Its Own by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk testified in federal court that his AI lab, xAI, likely used OpenAI’s models as a “distillation” technique—training a smaller model to emulate a larger one—a practice he said is common across the industry, though he qualified it as only “partly” true for xAI. During cross‑examination, OpenAI’s lawyer asked whether xAI had directly employed OpenAI technology, to which Musk replied that using competitors’ AI to validate one’s own is standard. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions over model‑distillation, with OpenAI and U.S. officials seeking to block foreign and rival labs from repurposing their models, while other companies like Anthropic have begun cutting off access to each other’s systems amid an increasingly competitive AI landscape.

qwant news | White House fights Anthropic's plan to expand Mythos tool that experts fear could cause AI doomsday AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The White House is pushing back against Anthropic’s proposal to widen access to its powerful Claude Mythos AI tool, warning that expanding the rollout from the current handful of government users to an additional 70 companies—bringing the total to 120 under “Project Glasswing” with firms such as Amazon, Google and JPMorgan—poses serious security risks. Anthropic itself has warned that Mythos could be used to hack electric grids, power plants and hospitals, and recent reports say a few users have already breached the system. Trump‑administration officials also doubt Anthropic has enough computing capacity to serve both the government and the new corporate clients, and the White House is wary after the Pentagon terminated Anthropic’s contract earlier this year over concerns about unrestricted AI use. Meetings between Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and White House officials aim to balance innovation with safety, while the company continues to grant early access to security researchers and strike deals with major tech firms to increase its compute resources.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Trump Offers Supporters Fake Membership as He Begs for Cash by Annabella Rosciglione AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A new fundraising email from the Trump National Committee is using scare tactics to pressure supporters into buying a bogus “MAGA” membership, warning that their status will be lost unless they act quickly. The message claims the recipient’s “Trump Platinum Membership” is incomplete and urges them to “complete membership” to stay in the club’s good graces, while also dangling a fake “Trump Merit Badge” and offering counterfeit job titles such as “Midterm Senior Strategist” or a seat on an “elite Midterm Advisory Board” with promises of exclusive updates and priority access. The email repeats previous tactics of threatening to involve ICE if donors do not prove U.S. citizenship, illustrating a pattern of deceptive fundraising by Trump’s campaign operatives.

Times of India | White House shares the list of 21 American companies donating millions to Trump administration’s new ballroom construction AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The White House has disclosed that 21 major U.S. firms are contributing millions toward a new 90,000‑square‑foot, $400 million ballroom being built on the White House grounds—a project accelerated after a security breach at the recent Correspondents’ Dinner. President Donald Trump insists the construction will not use taxpayer money, though federal funds cover underground security work, and he warned that any legal challenges must be dropped. The Justice Department has urged the National Trust for Historic Preservation to abandon its lawsuit, arguing the ballroom will let presidents host large events without leaving the White House perimeter. The donor list, reported by Fortune, includes tech giants such as Meta, Apple, Amazon, Google (Alphabet), Microsoft, and Comcast; defense and security contractors like Lockheed Martin, Palantir, and Booz Allen Hamilton; energy and manufacturing firms including NextEra Energy, Caterpillar, and Micron; as well as companies from tobacco, crypto, rail, and entertainment sectors such as Altria, Coinbase, Ripple, Union Pacific, Hard Rock International, and Tether America. Donations are being made through the Trust for the National Mall and are tax‑deductible, while Trump has pledged to contribute personally but does not appear on the list.

undefined | Letters to the Editor: Melania Trump deserves credit for calling for hearings with Epstein's victims When Melania Trump took the podium in the White House’s Grand Foyer on Thursday, she called for congressional hearings that would allow the victims of Jeffrey Epstein to tell their stories. Her statement marked a stark reversal of earlier messages from the White House and the Justice Department that the Epstein case was “closed.” President Trump, when asked if he knew what his wife would say, replied that he “didn’t know anything about it,” a remark that underscored the growing disconnect within the administration about how to handle the scandal. The significance of Melania’s appeal lies in its focus on the victims themselves. If House Republicans act on her urging and convene the hearings, they will be entering a realm the current administration has tried to avoid, but one that could finally give Epstein’s survivors a platform for their testimony. Advocates argue that the hearings should remain centered on hearing these voices, and they credit the first lady for daring to bring the issue back to the national conversation, even as critics lament that the president appears less clear‑headed on the matter. Commentators note that the truth about any personal connection between Melania Trump and Epstein may never be known, yet the controversy has rekindled public interest in a story that had been eclipsed by the ongoing Iran war. Denny Freidenrich of Laguna Beach praised Melania for her courageous stance, while Ken Derow of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, observed that the first lady’s press conference has revived attention to an Epstein scandal her husband seems eager to bury, raising questions about who benefits from the renewed scrutiny.
