New: As more parents reject a long-standard shot for babies, hospitals are seeing cases of vitamin K deficiency bleeding — once considered virtually eliminated. Doctors don’t always recognize or know how to treat the life-threatening condition. propub.li/48589vI

This morning, the Russians attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been underway for seven days following an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. Unfortunately, more people may still be under the rubble. Absolute cynicism and brutality. There was also an overnight attack on the Dnipro region – the Russians struck energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region without power. In the Kharkiv region, the situation is difficult too. There are widespread power outages across the country. In the Zhytomyr region alone, 140 apartment buildings were left without heating following a Russian strike. Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, utility workers, and every repair crew who are literally working 24/7 to restore water, electricity, and heating supplies to people. In total, this past week alone, Russia has launched 115 missiles of various types, nearly 1,900 guided aerial bombs, and more than 3,000 attack drones against our cities and communities. These are combined strikes involving many ballistic missiles. And a significant portion of the missiles were manufactured this year. We constantly provide our partners with information about Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production. In October, Ukraine imposed major sanctions packages on the individuals and legal entities involved. It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We count on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package. Thank you to all partners who are truly helping.

JD Vance thinks you should have to speak English to receive care at a hospital. Wait until he hears about neonatal intensive care units. The audacity of those babies expecting care when they don’t even speak the language.

Sad to see the Cybertruck going away when it was a useful way to learn who the dumbest, most gullible people were in your parents’ neighborhood

Patriots in control.

My position on “late term abortions for convenience” is similar to my position on brain transplants. I don’t have one because they don’t exist.

Out here worried about trump vetoing everything Dems pass when all Dems need to do is send Abdul El-Sayed to the White House in a tight pants and shirt to meet with trump for 2 seconds and that man will not remember what a veto is.

What's the unfinished business of the next few weeks? For Senator Tillis: Ukraine funding, defense funding & having Secretary Pete Hegseth face a "reckoning"

It was clear over the past year that President Trump was going to lead the GOP off the cliff because of ice, the war, tariffs, the other war and inflation. … but I never expected Texas to turn blue 🤯 Ugh, I moved here to get away from the left lunacy!

Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.

1/ CDC scientists wrote an urgent alert to warn doctors about measles in pregnancy.  New reporting shows the Trump administration blocked it. In Pennsylvania alone, 77 pregnant women have had measles this year and at least six newborns had it at birth.

MUST-WATCH: "Until they drive prices UP... Americans aren't complaining right now that prices are too LOW." @AbdulElSayed masterfully schools Bari Weiss' CBS News(max) 60 minutes host @Douthat60 on the problem with living in corporatism, not capitalism -where monopolies and oligopolies reign supreme - and the importance of backing politicians who support the ability of labor UNIONS to push back so workers can earn more and live better lives... rather than politicians who are owned by corporations.

Revolut’s quiet bid for AI Independence: Cutting coding costs by 90% The first chapter of modern fintech was powered by smartphones, cloud computing and easier licensing. That phase is largely over. The next one is being shaped partly by artificial intelligence — specifically by how cheaply and effectively a firm can use it. In a recent presentation, David Abitbol, head of AI operations at Revolut, explained how the company has reduced its dependence on expensive frontier models. By self-hosting open-weight models (primarily GLM) on dedicated GPUs, Revolut cut the cost of AI coding assistance by roughly 90%. The blended cost is now about 30 cents per million tokens — roughly one-tenth of previous Anthropic/OpenAI spend. After the switch around April 2026, results across ~2,000 engineers showed coding time improving by ~60% and lead time by ~70%. Earlier tools (Gemini, early Claude Code under budget caps) delivered smaller gains. The bigger lift came once token limits were removed. Engineers stopped rationing AI for the hardest tasks and used it freely for codebase navigation, config and surrounding work. Coding itself was never the main bottleneck, but lead time was. Revolut focused on making existing hardware efficient rather than simply buying more. Over several months, with the same GPU count, performance improved substantially even as demand rose, delivering interactive speeds engineers accept at a fraction of the old cost. Frontier models remain available but are now the exception. As a regulated bank, the company runs the weights on infrastructure in approved jurisdictions and keeps coding tasks under human control via a sandbox with clear allow/deny rules. This maintains a non-autonomous classification, provides an audit trail and limits internal risk. Few banks have publicly shown a comparable shift to open-weight models as the everyday default for engineering, backed by measured data and a workable compliance approach. Many larger institutions still primarily wrap frontier APIs, often with usage limits because of cost. For a high-growth digital bank that ships continuously, lower and more predictable AI costs remove a constraint. Productivity gains can compound. Legacy banks with slower governance and older stacks face a harder path. AI alone will not create customer trust. But it is already useful for analysing data and accelerating technology development. In an environment where AI cost and capability increasingly influence how quickly a company can move, Revolut has shown that a regulated bank can treat intelligence as infrastructure rather than a metered service.
