Credit: Screenshot via Real Time with Bill Maher Elon Musk vowed to reverse the Biden administration’s practice of utilizing NGOs (Non-governmental Organizations) to facilitate mass immigration, saying that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is prepared to end the practice. Musk was responding to an X post over the weekend by entrepreneur Mario Nawfal, which claimed the practice under Biden made NGOs the “middlemen” of illegal immigration, often without adequate oversight. “Turns out nonprofits weren’t just helping migrants—they were funding the crisis!” he wrote, later adding, “Sanctuary cities were hit hardest, with taxpayers footing the bill.” Musk Vows DOGE Will Stop NGOs…

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her country has received an estimated 4,094 people deported from the United States in the week since Donald Trump took office there. That number includes citizens from other countries, though Sheinbaum specified that the majority were Mexican. There has been no “substantial increase” in non-citizens arriving in the country, she added. Sheinbaum’s statement on Monday arrives at a delicate time for diplomacy in Latin America, as the region braces for changes under Trump’s second term as US president. Trump had campaigned on the promise of leading a “mass deportation” effort, and he has…
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is running like a man who has been waiting for his Super Bowl opportunity for seven years. After six years of individual brilliance with the New York Giants but no postseason success, Barkley dominated the NFC playoffs.

Though on his Gates Notes blog, he states he is still a “technical advisor,” it wasn’t clear how much time he was actually spending at the company.Gates spent 25 years as CEO and transitioned into a part-time role at Microsoft in June 2008. And despite officially stepping down in 2020, it looks like Gates never actually retired.In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Gates said that he is…
Keon West could reel off anecdotes about the everyday racism he experiences – but he won’t. Personal accounts rarely convince anyone, he says, and, all too often, they are dismissed or put down to some other, less offensive, cause. Instead of the feelings that racist behaviour and accusations of racism provoke, he prefers to focus on facts. A social psychologist at Goldsmiths, University of London, West has consolidated hundreds of rigorous empirical studies on racism conducted over decades in his new book, The Science of Racism. By exploring how experiments can detect racism and measure its impact across societies, he builds…
DETROIT — There’s a Shark circling one of the greatest profit pools for American automakers globally, as Chinese automaker BYD Auto expands its reach and product portfolio with a pickup truck.Without the vehicle’s branding badge, the BYD Shark could pass as an American-made product.

The China-made truck features uncanny exterior resemblances to a Ford Explorer mixed with the popular F-150 — part of the Ford brand’s best-selling truck lineup in the U.S. for 48 years.Much like BYD’s Seagull — a small all-electric hatchback that starts at just 69,800 yuan (or less than $10,000) —…

The company lost roughly $600 billion in market value, on what was its worst…
