23andMe agreed to pay $18 million to settle claims over a 2023 data breach affecting 6.9 million users.

And that is before the lawyers take most of it. Basically zero consequences for breach of DNA sequences, health reports, ethnicity, race, location, etc. Fascists surely won’t use this for anything horrific.

A court vacated a decision issued earlier this month that required Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold bond hearings within 90 days for immigrants arrested in the U.S.

A panel of three judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana, had held on July 2 that unjustified detention for an indefinite period would violate the Constitution. However, that decision was reversed on Monday after ICE and Department of Homeland Security officials appealed that judgment.

The court will consider the case in September. More than 61,000 immigrants held across the U.S. have petitioned federal courts for their release after ICE stopped providing bond hearings, which had been a precedent for decades.

The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a related case and resolve the issue in its next session, starting in October.

The average life expectancy for a Russian soldier in Ukraine is between 20-30 minutes, CIA director John Ratcliffe said. Speaking at a defense summit in Pennsylvania, he attributed the deadly conditions for Vladimir Putin's forces to Ukraine's combat drones equipped with AI. "What I would say is, our intelligence is consistent with some of the open-source reporting you may have seen in Ukraine," Ratcliffe said.  "So the average life expectancy of a Russian recruit, right now, arriving on the battlefield in Ukraine, is estimated to be between 20 and 30 minutes." "And that's because AI-powered drones have gotten to be such specialized, low-cost killing machines. And it's why we're now four and a half years into that conflict," Ratcliffe added. Ukraine said this month that Russia has lost about 1.4 million soldiers since the beginning of its full-scale invasion, with over 1,000 of the Kremlin's troops killed or wounded almost every day.  In May, Ukraine's defense ministry said it was killing roughly 200 Russian soldiers for every kilometer of territory that Moscow claimed.
