Iran MP says enriched uranium stockpile will not leave country

The head of Iran’s parliament National Security Committee said Tehran does not intend to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile to a third country, rejecting one of the issues raised in discussions around a possible agreement with Washington.

Ebrahim Azizi told Russia’s Sputnik that the United States had not been trustworthy in negotiations and that no agreement would be reached if Washington did not change its conduct.

Azizi also said the Islamic Republic was pursuing permanent management of the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a long-term policy rather than a temporary measure.

His remarks came as Iranian officials continue to frame Hormuz as a central source of leverage in talks with the United States, while Washington has said any agreement must ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.

Iran may attack if US naval blockade lasts too long, Khamenei adviser warns

A military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned on Friday that Iran would launch attacks if a US naval blockade continues beyond a certain timeframe.

Mohsen Rezaei, a former chief-commander of the Revolutionary Guards, said the IRGC uses “highly cost-effective drones” and fast boats as key tools of deterrence, adding that Iran is tracking US movements despite what he described as Washington’s attempt to approach “in the dark.”

“The United States is coming toward us in darkness, while we monitor every move they make,” Rezaei said.

Judiciary Tried To Hide ‘Sex In Chambers’ Judge’s Name

As soon as we flagged an unnamed federal judge having sex in chambers as part of an extramarital affair with a “high ranking law enforcement officer,” everyone asked the immediate follow-up, “how is a federal judge unable to afford a hotel room?” Followed soon after by, “who is the anonymous judge?” Because despite the severity of the allegations — an affair that raised serious blackmail risks, attending openly partisan events, and lying to investigators when caught — the Eleventh Circuit and the Judicial Conference both concealed the judge’s identity. They even adjusted the very minor sanction to allow the judge “to word the letters of apology vaguely so as to ensure that a letter could not be ‘used against [the Subject Judge] in some way.’”

Within 45 minutes of publishing our article, we worked out with a very high degree of confidence that it was Judge Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia. That said, we didn’t have a source with first-hand knowledge to confirm the story. While we made coy allusions, we were not prepared to publish this without more.

Bloomberg Law News has just confirmed with a source directly familiar with the investigation that it is Judge Ross.

The Eleventh Circuit thought it had been so clever in anonymizing its report. The reports don’t include a name or a district, and refer only to “Subject Judge” throughout. The reports even assiduously avoid identifying the judge by gender, proving that even conservative judges can figure out how pronouns work with minimal effort. And yet the reports failed to obscure a number of details that made working out the judge’s identity possible. This is where the story is going to pivot and we’re going to talk about AI and how the federal courts are not ready for it.

As soon as I read the reports, I zeroed in on a footnote revealing that the district judge involved hired clerks for two-year staggered terms. That’s not the norm and narrowed down the possible judges out of the gate. But as I tried to scour OSCAR, former Above the Law columnist Stephanie Wilkins reached out to remind me that we live in 2026 and AI exists. Handing the reports into two different AI models and turning on all the “deep research” modes, the bots churned for several minutes comparing the reports to publicly available information. Both models delivered lengthy reports reaching the same conclusion. So how did these models do it?

In addition to the two-year clerk fact, the models instantly filtered out the entire state of Florida. The official reports are littered with references, in varying contexts, to the office of “District Attorney.” Florida uses “State Attorneys” for its local prosecutors. After that, the bots noted that the sanction barred the judge from ever serving as chief judge of their district — meaning the judge was not senior status and not currently the chief judge. The report indicates that investigators spoke with clerks dating back to 2020, disqualifying anyone elevated after that. Discussing the judge attending a DA’s primary victory party, the bot pointed out that the judge had claimed to know the candidate based on their time at the office, narrowing the scope to judges with state prosecutorial experience who overlapped with a sitting DA who won a primary. And had martinis at the victory party. The AI models decided that matched with Atlanta’s Fani Willis.

Once it narrowed the list down, the bot also searched the dockets of possible judges to match the claim in the reports that the high-ranking law enforcement officer did not materialize into a conflict because no cases involving that police department showed up on the judge’s docket.

For good measure, the bot went ahead and took a guess at the officer’s identity too.

In about 10 minutes of work, the AI unraveled all the work these judges put in to keep this confidential. With nothing but a couple of published court documents and the open web. In the time someone might brew a cup of coffee, the most basic possible workflow defeated the Eleventh Circuit’s entire anonymization strategy.

The World Cup set for a $50+ billion betting frenzy

Global betting revenue for the upcoming World Cup is likely to be "in excess of $50 billion", betting expert Darren Small told AFP, for an event he labelled "the biggest circus in town."

The revenue will be significantly higher than the 2022 edition, partly because the quadrennial football fiesta has been enlarged to 48 teams from the 32 in Qatar.

Another factor according to Small, Managing Director of Managed Trading Services at Sportradar, is punters have become more "interested in the celebrity of a player" than in the old days of betting simply on a team.

Sportradar Group AG is a global sports technology company that says it creates immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors.

"We expect a lot of interest around the player props and what we call bet builders or custom bet options," Small told AFP in an interview.

"So we're anticipating that that's going to be a big drive for us. We're going to see a lot more interest on that.

"So players scoring left foot, right foot, number of passes, tackles, whatever the numbers are.

"Then subsequently the customers taking that and building out narratives like stories of 'I think this game will be X team to win with both teams to score, player X scoring with his head and there being 15 corners'."

"The sheer size and scale of this tournament will ensure it is the biggest betting event ever," David Stevens, head of Public Relations at English bookmaker Coral, told AFP.

Stevens said Bet Builder was "one of the fastest growing areas of our business" which sates the appetite of a "new, younger customer base" who are looking "for more dynamic betting opportunities."

Small said most money in bets already placed with Sportradar's 250 sports books clients across the globe has gone on Argentina and France.

However, Stevens said there remains a considerable number of people hoping England end a 60-year wait for a second World Cup.

"They are in fact third favourites, behind only France and Spain, and should Thomas Tuchel end 60 years of hurt, we bookmakers will be facing a significant payout," he said.

"However, the increasingly global nature of our business means an England victory would not be as costly as it would have been a decade ago, for example."

• 'Peculiar not sinister' -

With regard to the individual stars, great interest surrounds the Golden Boot for top scorer with French star Kylian Mbappe and Norway's hitman Erling Haaland attracting a lot of money.

"In excess of 20 percent of our volume and our tickets… have been struck on Haaland so far," said Small.

However, Small is more intrigued by another name that features for the moment in the top 10 of potential top scorers thanks to bets placed.

It is fair to say that Port Vale who have just been relegated to the fourth tier of the English league have not had many players represent them at a World Cup finals.

However, the club's New Zealand striker Ben Waine is the one where the money is being placed.

"We've seen a bit of a run on New Zealand's centre forward into the top 10 of the betting for the World Cup," said Small.

"It's really strange, as in peculiar not sinister."

Both Small and Stevens agree the geographical spread of the matches at a tournament being co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico does present problems.

"The only challenge that we have is obviously times, from the European audience perspective," said Small.

"The West Coast games will put a bit of pressure on that because they're going to be difficult to follow for the people that are trying to follow from Europe.

"But we've also got a very active South American region now with Brazil and others."

There has been little interest in a US win but should they cause a huge upset then their captain might face competition from President Donald Trump as to who holds the trophy aloft.

"Should the USA defy odds of 40-1 and lift the trophy, expect very short odds about the President being at the centre of the celebrations!" said Stevens.

I Asked People in LA Who They're Voting For Mayor

'Very concerning': Wes Allen responds to video showing apparent illegal curbside voting in Jefferson County

Several alarming videos have been released by voters in Jefferson County, taken on May 19 during and after the primary election.

One video appears to show a poll worker carrying a ballot out the front door of the polling place and handing it to an individual waiting in the passenger side of a vehicle.

While the voter was casting his ballot, two separate individuals, including one wearing a T-shirt for State Rep. Patrick Sellers (D-Birmingham), approached the voter seated inside the vehicle and handed him voter guides.

At another point, a poll worker is heard talking to the voter as the voter fills out his ballot. Part of the ballot can be seen in the video as the poll worker walks away from the vehicle with it.

The video does not show her checking his identification, nor does it show what happens to the ballot following the interaction.

"I have always advocated against curbside voting, a practice that has caused some of the rampant chaos we see during election times in blue states. For this reason, during my time as a Legislator, I carried HB 285- a bill prohibiting unauthorized curbside voting practices and strengthening election integrity protections. Because of that legislation, Alabama law now specifically prohibits the use of voting machines outside enclosed polling places and restricting the removal of ballots or voting equipment except as otherwise authorized by law," Secretary of State Wes Allen said in a written statement to 1819 News.

"The allegations and videos circulating out of Jefferson County are very concerning. Any credible allegations involving improper ballot handling or violations of Alabama election law are taken seriously," he continued.

A second video shows a confrontation between an unknown party and poll workers behind the front doors of the polling place, as they allege that voting machines were improperly moved before being secured and ask for an explanation. A city worker then comes and claims that no votes were cast in the machine.

Mara Ruffin Blackmon a candidate a candidate for the State House district 57 filed suit against Jefferson County Probate Judge Yashiba Blanchard and Sellers.

Blackmon is asking the court to "ensure the integrity and reliability of election accounting through independent review and verification."

According to the Secretary of State's office, their office lacks investigative or prosecutorial authority under the law.

The office said it would refer any allegations of potential criminal misconduct to an appropriate law enforcement agency.

The office also said, "It is the policy of the Secretary of State's Office to not publicly comment on specific complaints filed with the Office, including confirming or denying the existence of a complaint."

Giving Iran $12 billion is gunna be hard to sell. The Media is gunna have a field day with that. Just wait until after midterms to deal with Iran. Also when they start to get hungry they'll make more desperate deals.

Maybe for the female prisons. Male prisons should do harder labor like mining for lithium or something.
