CBP Agriculture Specialists at the Louisville UPS Hub discovered a falsely manifested ceremonial spider monkey hand arriving from Mexico. The shipment was turned over to U.S. Fish & Wildlife.
CBP remains vigilant in protecting wildlife and enforcing import laws.

Sure they can. It's been the mainstay of European public broadcasting documentaries for decades. Borat is sort of a parody of those.

Ivy League students suing their schools with AI slop is a bit too on the nose
🧵 Five students brought a lawsuit against Columbia and Barnard after they were punished for participating in the 2025 Butler Library protest.
Barnard and Columbia’s lawyers found two AI-generated hallucinations in one of their court filings:
“As for the second case Petitioners rely on, ‘Matter of McCormack v. LaHood, 85 A.D.3d 1070, 1071 (2d Dep't 2011),’ the reporter citation is to a case of a different name that has no relevance whatsoever, and after a diligent search, Barnard is unable to locate any case with this name.”
“Again, one of the cases Petitioners cited, ‘Matter of Ortiz v. Coughlin, 86 A.D.2d 660, 661 (2d Dep't 1982),’ does not appear to exist-the citation goes to the middle of another case of a different name with no relevance here, and after a diligent search, the only three cases with these names in the caption are completely irrelevant.”

Civil rights war is a good way to put it
And yet you were ok with Biden removing civil rights war statues and renaming places?

All cool now with the judges, I guess. With apologies to the millennials & later, this reminds me of "Fawlty Towers" line: "Don't talk about the war!" politico.com/news/2025/11/07…
Congratulations to my friend Jamie McDonald on his appointment by President Trump to lead SDNY. I thank Jay Clayton for his leadership of the Office and look forward to his continued service as Director of National Intelligence. We look forward to working with the judges as part of this process.

NEW: I spoke with the Iranian Ambassador to Mexico Abolfazl Pasandideh:
- His message to Trump: “If the U.S. closes its eyes to Israel’s interests, Iran and the U.S. can be very good friends.”
- Says Iran's presence in the U.S. for the World Cup should be read as a gesture of goodwill
- Visa denials impacting some coaching staff may have a negative impact on the team’s performance
- But expects his team to advance out of group stage
- Team will begin travel to U.S. two days before the match so the head catch can attend press conference the day before, per FIFA regulations

WORRYING: ICE sent federal agents to the offices of nonprofit lawyers that provide counsel to migrant children and demanded they turn over client records, all without any warrant or legal justification.
Neither ICE nor HHS went through normal channels to request information.
Amica Center for Justice: ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and US Health and Human Services (HHS) tried to access offices of DC nonprofits that provide legal services to immigrant children in what the groups are calling "intimidation tactics." amicacenter.org/press-releas…
