“What educators, parents and policy officials really needed was high quality data and evidence to help guide them. What they have had to deal with instead is some substandard research.”

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

A majority of Democrats in the House and Senate submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court on Monday seeking to protect access to the abortion pill mifepristone. Forty-seven Democratic senators and 212 House members urged the high court to overturn the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling reinstating an in-person requirement to obtain mifepristone, which has not been enforced in five years. “The Fifth Circuit’s Order should be stayed because the relief it granted has no basis in law, threatens the congressionally-mandated evidence-based process for drug-regulatory decisions, and poses a serious health risk to pregnant individuals,” Democrats wrote in the brief. “Mifepristone, which patients have used for more than 25 years as part of the most common and recommended regimen for medication abortion, should not be made more difficult to access across the entire country,” they added. It follows a Monday order from Justice Samuel Alito, who briefly halted the ruling that would prevent the abortion pill from being prescribed without an in-person doctor visit.

Last December, Justice Alito told Texans they had to vote under an unconstitutional gerrymander because changing maps in December would deprive them of “certainty” before the 2026 midterms. Yesterday, with voting already underway in Louisiana, he rushed the certified copy of the Calais ruling out the door so Southern states can hurry up and redistrict before that very same election.

This is Iranian propaganda. Very dangerous for people in the west to listen to.
