🔥🇻🇪 SHE'S HOME. After 10 months in exile, María Corina Machado just walked back into Venezuela and the streets EXPLODED. "Estoy aquí. Con ustedes." Watch what the regime feared most 👇

DOJ calls it Operation Ghostbusters. Thieves steal American identities, invent AI ghost students, pocket federal student aid, and send it offshore. One in three California community college applications in 2024 got flagged as fake. Hundreds of millions lost. Only five people charged so far.

California delivers salmon and organic produce to Medi-Cal recipients for free. One recipient costs taxpayers more than $1,500 across 24 weeks. It is part of Newsom's nearly $12 billion CalAIM package. Working families pay full price at the store.

Hackers just published the names, phone numbers, and work locations of more than 41,000 Homeland Security workers, including more than 21,000 Border Patrol staff and thousands of ICE agents. The group behind it said it plainly: they have our information, so it is only fair we have theirs. That puts a target on the people who enforce the law.

FAA just locked down the sky over a nuclear site in South Carolina. A fire at Savannah River National Laboratory set off a site area emergency and an unfiltered radiological release at ground level. Fire is out. Officials say no contamination left the facility.

I drop into Helldivers 2. Arrowhead says no Helldivers 3 is coming while the second game is this alive. 95% of the studio still works on it. 47,000 players on Steam last week. A sequel would only compete with itself. Keep the game alive instead of chasing the next launch.

BioWare is gone after 31 years. Dragon Age: The Veilguard sold about 1.5 million copies, nearly half what EA expected. A new report says the new owners had the studio strip an LGBTQ flag from the canceled Mass Effect game. Lecture the players, lose the players. $EA
BioWare Was Asked to Remove LGBTQ Flag from Canceled Mass Effect Game, Report Says polygon.com/mass-effect-univ…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Polygon headline claims BioWare "was asked to remove LGBTQ flag," but BFM journalist clarifies devs proactively removed a flag resembling (not the actual) Pride flag from a demo to anticipate feedback, not to hide elements. kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-… bfmtv.com/tech/gaming/un… polygon.com/mass-effect-un…

CBS asked Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon a simple question: is Cuba a dictatorship? Her answer: that is what people have told me. She later said she believes the Cubans who told her. Even a fellow Democrat said it is not a matter of opinion. It is a fact.
Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon, who is challenging Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, was asked whether Cuba is a dictatorship. Here's what she had to say. “That is what people have told me. I have never been to Cuba, and so I will have to take their word for it," Nixon told CBS News’ @cbenavidesTV. Nixon also criticized the decades-long U.S. embargo on Cuba and said she supports returning to Obama-era policies. Editor's note: A previous version of this post did not accurately portray Rep. Nixon‘s answer. It has been deleted.

Communists and socialists always reveal their true colors. It’s not good business practice to partner with a rattlesnake. @realDonaldTrump @marcorubio
🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA Tras la llegada de Machado, la dictadora Delcy Rodríguez asegura que la oposición debería mostrar arrepentimiento por "hacerle daño a Venezuela" y luego asegura que en Venezuela "no existe la persecución política", tras 27 años de crímenes de lesa humanidad.

Microsoft just offered buyouts to 60,000 workers. That is more than a quarter of its workforce. The same company plans to spend $175 billion on AI this year. The machines get the money. The workers get the exit offer. $MSFT
Microsoft has offered to buyout about 60,000 employees around the world — almost a quarter of its workforce. The major cuts come as several tech giants continue to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on chips and AI centers. abcnews.link/CMCPgab

DOJ just charged James Comey a third time. This one says he leaked to the New York Times in 2016. Two earlier investigations looked at the same leak and passed. This case skipped the grand jury to beat the 10 year clock. His lawyers moved to dismiss it as too late.

Gallup just asked America what value the country needs most. 46% of Republicans said patriotism. Only 6% of Democrats did. That 40 point gap is the widest divide in the whole poll. One party still loves the country. The other ranked loving it dead last.
Just 6% of Democrats rank patriotism among their top three priorities, compared to 46% of Republicans, marking the largest partisan divide in a new Gallup survey on the values Americans believe the country needs most. But the divide goes beyond patriotism. Democrats prioritize equality and fairness, while Republicans place greater emphasis on responsibility and honesty. There’s also an unexpected point of agreement between the two parties. See what Americans still have in common: foxnews.com/politics/democra…

Now the stakes: tens of thousands swarmed her caravan from Barquisimeto to Caracas, waving flags and chanting her name. She wants a presidential vote in 2027. The question is whether the interim regime and Washington let Venezuelans choose.

Barquisimeto to Caracas. This is what a people look like when hope comes home.

December 2025: she slipped out of Venezuela in secret and reappeared in Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for her peaceful struggle for democracy. She even gave the medal to Trump. Then she came back.

Oslo, December 2025. The Nobel Peace Prize.

2023: she won the opposition primary with over 92 percent. The regime barred her from running anyway. She handed the candidacy to Edmundo González, and his tallies showed a landslide the regime refused to accept.

92 percent. They barred her anyway.

2002: she co-founded Súmate to defend free elections. 2010: she won a National Assembly seat with a record vote. 2014: the regime expelled her from parliament for denouncing its abuses. She never left the fight.

The fight started long before the world noticed.

This is until the end. That was always her promise. Now she is home to keep it.
