New AI Coworker Who Won't Stop Snitching 

AI Industry All In For The 2026 Midterms 

A startup has introduced “Junior,” an AI coworker designed to manage tasks, track deadlines, and flag missed follow‑ups — often alerting managers directly. The always‑on digital employee is sparking debate about productivity, surveillance, and how far AI should go inside the modern workplace. 

The artificial intelligence industry is pouring millions into the 2026 midterm elections as lawmakers consider how — and whether — to regulate the rapidly growing technology.  Industry‑backed groups are backing candidates across party lines, highlighting sharp divisions over AI oversight as Washington debates rules that could shape the sector’s future.

Matt Gaetz Alien Breeding 

Reason Behind Pam Bondi Firing 

Former congressman Matt Gaetz sparked backlash after claiming he was briefed on a secret U.S. military program allegedly involving alien‑human hybrid breeding. Gaetz said the information came from an unverified whistleblower and acknowledged he never confirmed the claims, which have drawn widespread skepticism and ridicule. 

An unidentified senior administration source that spoke with the Daily Mail Thursday claimed that Bondi begged Trump to reconsider, pleading to give her more time in the role, but Trump was adamant about her departure.

Matt Gaetz Alien Breeding & Reason Behind Pam Bondi Firing 

Amputee Cornhole Champion Self-Defense

Pete Hegseth’s Investments

A quadruple‑amputee professional cornhole champion is facing murder charges after a deadly shooting in Maryland, but his attorney says he acted in self‑defense during a violent confrontation inside his vehicle. Prosecutors dispute that claim and a judge has ordered him held without bond as the case heads toward a preliminary hearing. 

A report says a broker for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explored investing in defense‑industry funds shortly before the war with Iran began. The Pentagon has rejected the claim as false, but the allegation is fueling scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest as U.S. military operations continue. 

ABC News takes viewers inside NASA’s Orion spacecraft to show what daily life is like for the Artemis II astronauts on their historic moon mission. From tight sleeping quarters to eating, exercising, and using the bathroom in microgravity, the story highlights how the crew manages 10 days inside one of the smallest human‑rated spacecraft ever flown beyond Earth orbit.

Trump Fires Pam Bondi As Attorney General

Hegseth Forces Out Army’s Top General

Trump Polled Advisers On Replacing Gabbard 

President Donald Trump privately told Attorney General Pam Bondi that her time leading the Justice Department was nearly over, according to reports. The warning came amid growing frustration over her pace and approach, signaling another shake‑up at the top of Trump’s Cabinet. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked the Army’s top officer to step down and retire, defense officials said Thursday, an extraordinary move amid the war with Iran and the latest in a series of clashes between the Pentagon chief and the service’s senior leadership. 

President Donald Trump has privately asked advisers whether he should replace Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, according to a report by The Guardian. The discussions reportedly stem from Trump’s frustration with Gabbard’s reluctance to publicly back the administration’s rationale for the Iran war, adding to signs of internal tension following recent high‑profile Cabinet shake‑ups.
