Andy Burnham became Britain’s new prime minister Monday, promising a “new political model” after a decade of leadership turmoil and pledging to shift power away from London.

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Harrison Berger) - Houthis Announce ‘Maritime Embargo’ Against Saudi Arabia
State of the Union: The Houthis said the action was taken in response to “the targeting of Sana’a International Airport” and Saudi Arabia’s “siege…for nearly twelve years.” The post Houthis Announce ‘Maritime Embargo’ Against Saudi Arabia appeared first on The American Conservative .
Yemen’s Houthis announced Monday the immediate launch of a “maritime embargo” against Saudi Arabia. The Houthis cited “the targeting of Sana’a International Airport” and Saudi Arabia’s “siege…for nearly twelve years.” It was not immediately clear how the Houthis planned to enforce its embargo or how narrowly Saudi assets would be targeted. Saudi Arabia currently exports energy westward to the Red Sea ports of Yanbu and Jeddah, which the Houthis may seek to disrupt. NBC News reports that “the full closure of the Bab el-Mandeb strait would reduce global oil supply by 7 percent as it would leave most of Saudi oil exports unable to leave the region.” That Saudi pipeline to the Red Sea port of Yanbu, which exports …Open

Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego is once again making headlines amid fresh questions about his personal conduct and a pattern of allegations that continues to haunt Democratic lawmakers. Just last month, the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, chaired by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), dismissed a complaint against him. The panel found insufficient evidence that Gallego’s actions violated federal law, Senate rules, or standards of conduct, praising his full cooperation. Gallego denied the accusations outright, branding them baseless “right-wing conspiracies ” pushed by far-right operatives, and demanded a public apology from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who had referred the matter. The senator, a longtime close friend of…Open
STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - Thiel-Backed AI Journalism Tribunal Pivots to Rating News Coverage
A Peter Thiel-backed project that proposed using artificial intelligence to adjudicate disputes against journalists is changing direction, shifting from an online “tribunal” toward a scoreboard-style system for rating news coverage. The startup, originally called Objection, allowed customers to pay $2,000 to challenge claims in published articles.

A Peter Thiel-backed project that proposed using artificial intelligence to adjudicate disputes against journalists is changing direction, shifting from an online “tribunal” toward a scoreboard-style system for rating news coverage. The startup, originally called Objection, allowed customers to pay $2,000 to challenge claims in published articles.

This caused scrutiny as people believed the process could pressure reporters, disadvantage investigations relying on confidential sources and give wealthy subjects a new tool for attacking unfavorable coverage. In other words, it could make the fake…Open
