Bipartisan lawmakers are introducing the “Courage to Serve Act,” aiming to provide an expedited citizenship path for migrants serving in the U.S. military. 

Specifically, the legislation would create a pilot program that would apply to people with no lawful permanent status, like asylum seekers and migrants waiting for work authorization. They would require vetting by both the FBI and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. 

Eligibility for an expedited process requires three years of honorable service or shorter periods in active combat zones.

Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY): “If folks have the courage to raise their right hand, swear an oath to protect and defend this nation and put their lives on the line, then they sure as hell deserve the opportunity to become an American citizen.”

Rep. John James (R-MI): “Immigration is both an economic and moral imperative, and giving specific America-loving immigrants who want to serve the country the chance to become citizens is a no-brainer.”

In China, young women are turning to AI boyfriends, which they say are better than their human counterparts.

“He knows how to talk to women better than a real man,” said one lady, who uses a chatbot app called “Glow.” The woman noted that she feels like she's “in a romantic relationship” with the AI. “He comforts me when I have period pain,” she noted.

These companions are especially booming in China thanks to massive tech companies like Baidu (the country’s version of Google) investing heavily in flirty chatbots. In the U.S., companies like OpenAI have not intervened in the space, leaving the work to lustful independent app developers instead.

One 22-year-old female college student in China said: “If I can create a virtual character that... meets my needs exactly, I'm not going to choose a real person.”

A late-night host has made a daring proposition to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: resign from the high court for a $1 million annual payment and a luxury RV. This unusual offer was made during the 11th season premiere of John Oliver’s show, where he criticized Thomas for his role in significant court decisions.

John Oliver: “Lot on your plate right now. From stripping away women’s rights to hearing Jan. 6 cases, you definitely shouldn’t be hearing two potentially helping rollback decades of federal regulations. So that’s the offer. $1 million a year, Clarence. And a brand new condo on wheels. And all you have to do in return is sign the contract and get the fuck off the Supreme Court.” 

He continued: “Talk it over with your totally best friend in the whole world. Because the clock starts now. Thirty days, Clarence … Let’s do this! I think you’re thinking, what would my friend say if I take this offer? Will they judge me as they sit in their boardrooms and mega yachts and Hitler shrines? Will they still treat me to luxury vacations and sing songs about me off their phones? Well, that’s the beauty of friendship, Clarence. If they’re real friends, they’ll love you no matter what your job is. So I guess this might be the perfect way to find out who your real friends actually are.”

A fake crypto app called Rabby Wallet & Crypto Solution scammed users out of thousands of dollars. The real Rabby Wallet, developed by DeBank Global Pte. Ltd., has yet to be approved, while the fake one has been deceiving users for years.

User on Apple support pages: “I was also scammed for about 5k USD from this fraudulent app this morning. I have raised a support case with Apple to see if there's any means of reimbursement as the app has been reported multiple times prior and is still standing 4 years now.”

User in Rabby Wallet’s Discord channel: “Less than 1 day of trying to use this wallet and I manage to lose majority of my holdings. Did I deserve it for not doing my due diligence, sure. Am I going to complain to the heavens to apple support to try get reimbursement, sure.”

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery: the brain has its own microbiome. This finding opens the possibility that some forms of dementia could be reversible.

A notable case highlighted a man in his 70s, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, who showed remarkable recovery after being treated for a fungal infection in his cerebrospinal fluid. This case emphasizes the potential impact of the brain’s microbiome on neurodegenerative diseases.

Further research could lead to new treatments that specifically address microbial imbalances.
