Bovino was removed from the role of commander and returned to his position as CBP sector chief in El Centro, California, after leading aggressive immigration enforcement operations.

Gregory Bovino, the U.S. Border Patrol head who became the face of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, will retire at the end of the month, two Customs and Border Protection officials told NBC News.

Bovino was removed from his role as CBP commander at large in January and returned to his role as Border Patrol sector chief in El Centro, California. The move came after the deaths of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and aggressive immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles.

His exit coincides with the date Donald Trump announced would be Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s last day in the job. In Bovino's position as commander, he reported directly to Noem and her senior adviser Corey Lewandowski.

Leaders seek a diplomatic solution despite US president’s threat of ‘a very bad future’ for NATO unless it provides warships

European countries have ruled out sending warships to the strait of Hormuz, despite threats from Donald Trump that NATO faces “a very bad future” if members fail to help reopen the vital waterway.

Germany ruled out participation in any military activity, including efforts to reopen the strait. “There was never a joint decision on whether to intervene. That is why the question of how Germany might contribute militarily does not arise. We will not do so,” the chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said.

He added: “This Iranian regime must come to an end,” but that “based on all the experience we have gained in previous years and decades, bombing it into submission is, in all likelihood, not the right approach.”

Ruling on a lawsuit brought by several prominent medical organizations, a district court said the federal government did not base its decisions on science in limiting Covid shots and changing the childhood immunization schedule.

no idea what that last one says lol

The antitrust trial of Live Nation and Ticketmaster resumed Monday in a New York federal court with 3 dozen states remaining in the case a week after the Justice Department settled its claims and withdrew.

Judge Arun Subramanian greeted jurors in Manhattan federal court by asking them if they had heard any news about the trial in the week in which it was suspended after one week of testimony.

After no jurors raised hands, he told them Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota had settled claims and were no longer part of the case.

DLSS 5 is on track for a Fall 2026 debut and replaces a game's original textures with AI-inflused versions to make them hyperreal. Or, out of one uncanny valley and into another!

A federal judge on Monday blocked key parts of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s effort to reshape U.S. vaccine policy, including a move to reduce the ‌number of shots routinely recommended for children.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston sided with the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups, which said health regulators had acted unlawfully to carry out Kennedy’s agenda of upending immunization policies and warned the changes will reduce ⁠vaccination rates and harm public health.

I'm completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it's running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.

The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace's face look "sexier" because apparently that's what realism looks like now.

I wouldn't be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they're advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.

US District Judge Brian Murphy on Monday temporarily blocked most of the damage that anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has done to federal vaccine guidance.

In a 45-page ruling that opens with a quote from Carl Sagan, US District Judge Brian Murphy issued a temporary injunction that blocks:

• The federal vaccine advisors Kennedy appointed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices after firing all 17 expert members. Almost all of Kennedy’s new advisors hold anti-vaccine views, have questionable qualifications for being on the committee, and did not appear to go through standard vetting.
• Every vote those ACIP members have made to change federal vaccine guidance.
• Kennedy’s dramatic overhaul of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s childhood vaccine schedule in January, which dropped the number of recommended immunizations from 17 to 11, in line with Denmark.

The ruling stems from a lawsuit brought by the American Academy of Pediatrics, along with several other medical groups, against Kennedy. The groups challenged the legality of the unprecedented moves, which disregarded standard procedures and lacked the backing of scientific evidence.
