AI companies have largely developed their chatbots with very little government regulation, all in an effort to beat China to artificial general intelligence. However, as these services exploit users’ mental health, enable new devastating cybersecurity threats, and arm the U.S. military with advanced capabilities, the Trump administration recently proposed federal regulation to keep the bots in check. Now, President Donald Trump wants to take government oversight a step further by invoking the power to review AI models before they’re released to the public through an executive order that was signed this week.

President Trump has mostly maintained a hands-off approach to AI regulation, bucking attempts at state-level bills to curb development in favor of a centralized federal mandate. There are clear pros and cons to Trump’s National AI Legislative Framework, but it provides a starting point for standardizing an industry where Trump has dragged his feet.

This is why the latest reports of added AI oversight, directly from the U.S. government, come as a surprise, given Trump’s previous stance. If signed, the executive order would mark a sea change within the Trump administration, signaling that AI needs direct government intervention to protect the public from potentially dangerous models.

The question is, why?

This move raises the question: How much AI regulation is too much regulation?

Trump’s decision came after Anthropic — the same company that landed on the military’s supply chain risk list — unveiled a new AI model that was purportedly too dangerous to release to the public. Labeled as Mythos under Project Glasswing, the new model excels at leveraging computer hacking and cybersecurity exploits. In other words, it’s really good at breaking the security measures of critical digital products and services, including operating systems and internet browsers.

If left in the wrong hands, Mythos could pose a huge risk to anything and everything connected to the internet — personal devices, school computers, government systems, banking platforms, and even critical infrastructure like power grids, traffic systems, and more.

Instead of allowing the public to access Mythos outright, Anthropic opted to provide the model strictly to Big Tech companies to help them find security holes in their products before a competing AI platform on the same level as Mythos reaches public status. The goal is to patch these bugs before they are exploitable by hackers using other AI platforms. So far, Mythos has poked holes in Apple’s highly secure MacOS platform and Mozilla’s privacy-focused Firefox browser. Unfortunately, while Mythos is good at finding problems, it’s bad at patching them, with recent reports noting that Mythos can further break software, even when trying to fix it.

Not to be outdone, OpenAI also claims to have a model — GPT-Rosalind — that’s too powerful for public release, this time in the sector of life sciences and molecular biology. Instead of launching Rosalind broadly, the company is offering it to researchers and scientists only.

So far, Anthropic and OpenAI have been socially responsible with their models by self-limiting access, but there’s no mandate to enforce these restrictions. President Trump’s executive order aims to eliminate any leeway and prevent truly dangerous AI models from leaking into the mainstream.

This move raises the question: How much AI regulation is too much regulation, and what are the ramifications of government overreach on access to the most advanced technology known to mankind? Some view these bills and mandates as a danger to free speech. Others see it as a government power grab meant to control device, internet, and AI access. I’m somewhere in the middle — the government should prevent AI companies from outright harming the people while also keeping the people’s rights and freedoms intact.

Unfortunately, even if the Trump administration has the best intentions with its AI executive order, who’s to say that the next administration will be so benevolent? Direct government intervention over AI models gives the left the precedent they need to overtly regulate and even manipulate AI the next time they take power. Imagine a future where the left blocks AI models on the grounds of “misinformation” and “disinformation” for sharing facts that don’t align with their political views. It’s not like they didn’t try to wipe dissent from the internet before, and if given the chance, they’ll do it again.

Luckily, the left might not get that opportunity. President Trump’s AI executive order was put on hold the day it was meant to be signed, though the unsigned version was leaked online for your viewing pleasure. Still, even with the order paused at the eleventh hour, its albatross looms as a possibility for future AI regulation that could either save the people from certain chatbot destruction or steal away our rights to access “unapproved” versions of these models that don’t comply with the party in power.

To kick off Pride Month this year, a famous UFC fighter has posted an AI video that takes a shot at past woke corporate pandering — and several shots at the face of Bud Light’s biggest mistake.

On Tuesday, UFC fighter Sean Strickland posted an AI-generated video of him sparring with a likeness of Dylan Mulvaney, the infamous transgender-identifying influencer to whom Bud Light once sent commemorative cans of beer to celebrate his “365 Days of Girlhood.”

‘I’ve yet to see one rainbow flag. We’re back!!!’

In the video, Strickland can be seen punching Mulvaney several times in the octagon before knocking him out.

Mulvaney is wearing a pink dress and gloves in the AI video.

The end of the video cuts away from the fight and reveals that it is a fake Bud Light commercial. “Bud Light. The official beer sponsor of UFC,” a voiceover says.

Strickland captioned the Instagram video, saying, “I’ve yet to see one rainbow flag. We’re back!!!” He also mentioned Bud Light in the caption.

At the time of this writing, Strickland’s fake Bud Light commercial garnered roughly 123,700 likes on Instagram.

In that same spirit, Strickland, who has been very active on X lately, lauded the changes in June 2026 compared to Pride Months in the past, crediting the current administration: “Say what you want about Trump but June has got far less gay.” He included several clapping hand emojis in the post.

Strickland has, however, also been vocal in his criticism of Trump in other areas. “Being elected in 2024 was the easiest job. … Better trade deals[.] Cut regulations[.] More gas[.] More building[.] No new wars[.] Enforce immigration laws[.] Thats it … thats all you had to do and we would of been happy,” he posted May 28.

Strickland celebrated his 31st professional career win in early May after a split decision in his face-off against Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of UFC 328.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D), who has a habit of obsessing over LGBTQ “rights” when it comes to children, has finally answered questions about his love life.

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is not convinced he’s being honest.

“One of the more juicy bits of gossip that people are talking about is that people were like, ‘James Talarico does not have a girlfriend; there’s no way he has a girlfriend,’” Gonzales comments.

“He’s super secretive about his love life, and he has the scrawny arms, and he doesn’t eat meat,” she continues.

When Talarico was asked about having a girlfriend, he gave what Gonzales calls the “weirdest, probably least convincing answer ever.”

“You have a girlfriend?” Talarico was asked on “The Jamie Kern Lima Show.”

“I do,” he answered, laughing. “And she is my rock; she is my best friend. I don’t know if I could have gotten through the last six months of this crazy race if she hadn’t been by my side. So, um, yeah, thanks for asking about her as well.”

“Sounds like a beard if you ask me,” Gonzales says.

According to an exposé in the New York Post, Talarico’s girlfriend is a vegan named Brianna Menard who used to be his chief of staff.

“I’d like to see some receipts if this was happening as she was his chief of staff because I don’t think it’s a good look to prey on your staffers. In fact, the Democrats, the party of ‘Me Too,’ have reliably informed me that that is an abuse of power,” Gonzales says.

The girlfriend in question reportedly describes herself as a “cat mom” who “likes dancing the night away at her local gay bar.”

“Now I’m wondering if maybe that’s how they met. Maybe that’s how they originally met, and then he brought her on as chief of staff. I don’t know. But this is all tracking now,” Gonzales says.

“Of course, all of this is not helping to quiet the rumors that he is a flaming homosexual,” she adds.

Iowa voters cast their ballots in the primary election on Tuesday, determining two of the state’s highest-profile November matchups, including the open gubernatorial race and an open U.S. Senate seat.

Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) announced in April 2025 that she would not seek a third term. In Sept., U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R) announced that she would also not seek re-election.

‘We now have the most Republicans ever. … There is no excuse for [Democratic] turnout to exceed ours here, but if that happens again … uh-oh.’

Five Republicans faced off in Iowa’s primary election, seeking to succeed Reynolds.

A survey conducted by JMC Analytics and Polling from May 27 to 28 predicted that the Republican gubernatorial primary may head to a convention, with none of the candidates able to secure the required 35% of the vote.

Of those surveyed, 24% stated that they would vote for businessman and former conservative political director Zach Lahn, 22% selected state Rep. Randy Feenstra, 15% selected former director of the state Department of Administrative Services Adam Steen, 8% selected former state Rep. Brad Sherman, and 4% selected state Rep. Eddie Andrews. However, 27% of those surveyed said they remained undecided.

Feenstra was endorsed by President Donald Trump, who called the candidate “MAGA all the way!”

Live ballot tabulations showed Lahn and Feenstra in a tight race on Tuesday evening.

With roughly 90% of the votes counted and Lahn leading by approximately 1,400 votes, BlazeTV’s Steve Deace stated, “I’ve seen enough. @ZachLahn will be the GOP nominee for governor in Iowa.”

Decision Desk HQ projected at 11:30 p.m. Eastern that Lahn would win the election against challenger Feenstra. With 98% of the votes counted, Lahn led Feenstra by less than one percentage point, according to the Associated Press. Lahn secured over 37% of the vote, avoiding a state party convention previously predicted by the polls.

Feenstra reportedly called Lahn Tuesday evening to concede.

Lahn will face uncontested Democratic nominee Rob Sand in the upcoming November 3 general election.

Former state Rep. Jim Carlin and Trump-backed U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson went head-to-head on Tuesday seeking to become the Republican nominee to fill Ernst’s open seat in the Senate.

The same poll from JMC Analytics and Polling showed 58% of those surveyed were planning to vote for Hinson and that Carlin trailed behind by 39 percentage points. However, 23% of respondents stated they were still undecided.

On Tuesday, Hinson pulled off a massive victory against Carlin in the election. Roughly 30 minutes after the polls closed, Hinson was projected to be the winner by NBC News and the Associated Press. With 99% of the ballots counted, Hinson won by over 48 percentage points.

State Rep. Josh Turek won the Democratic primary race against state Sen. Zach Wahls to battle it out against Hinson on the November ballot.

Heading into Election Day, Deace shared his thoughts on the Iowa races and their national implications.

“We better hope the Democrats follow their heart with Zach Wahls and not their heads with Josh Turek, because the latter has run the best and most inspiring messaging I’ve seen from a Democrat statewide in Iowa in many years,” Deace wrote in a post on X. “Wahls is a construct of every Leftist fetish normies vote against if the economy isn’t totally in the tank. But if Turek is their nominee, the US Senate race in Iowa will be a way tougher pull for our side this fall. He gives normies a reason to vote for him and not just against Trump.”

He noted that Democratic voter turnout nationwide has far surpassed Republicans, which he called an obvious “potential danger sign for November.”

“But here in Iowa, we now have the most Republicans ever and more than a 200,000 voter registration advantage. There is no excuse for their turnout to exceed ours here, but if that happens again … uh-oh,” Deace added.

Scott Pelley, a 68-year-old liberal who claimed in a commencement speech last year that “you only lose if you quit,” has been a fixture at CBS News since 1989.

Although he was ousted as the anchor of “CBS Evening News” in 2017 — allegedly because he complained “to management about the hostile work environment,” though his ratings also stank — Pelley clung to another position at the network, working for nearly a decade as a correspondent on “60 Minutes.”

CBS News kicked Pelley to the curb for good on Tuesday — a day after the talking head reportedly volunteered a number of criticisms of the network’s choices and personnel.

‘I have been in combat.’

At a Monday staff meeting in Manhattan, Pelley hammered Nick Bilton, a newly hired executive producer on “60 Minutes,” for his “slender” qualifications and characterized Bari Weiss, the blogger turned CBS News editor in chief, of being a hatchet man who is “murdering” the show and lacks a love for “this place,” reported the New York Times.

Bilton, an English-born filmmaker and former tech columnist who apparently has no broadcast news experience, announced on Tuesday, “We have parted ways with Scott Pelley.”

The purportedly slenderly qualified producer said in a missive to Pelley obtained by the Times,

I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the 60 Minutes veterans, with you among them. For that reason, one of the first things I did in my new role was call you to talk and invite you to dinner. It is a profound disappointment that you rejected that overture and chose ambush instead. Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt.

Bilton claimed that while he supposedly welcomes “a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate,” Pelley’s “performative display of hostility” demonstrated that he has “no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress.”

After emphasizing that Pelley’s “antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear,” Bilton told the liberal that his employment was “terminated for cause effective immediately.”

Pelley, who complained in a woke speech last year that “journalism is under attack,” wasted no time reminding everyone of his bravery and “devotion” to journalism.

“I have been in combat in Afghanistan,” he told the Times in a phone interview after his termination, referring to his time as a war reporter while other men actually engaged in combat operations. “I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.”

Pelley claimed that Bilton’s letter “betrays a complete misunderstanding of what we work for and what we live for at ’60 Minutes.'”

Earlier in the day, the ex-CBS News correspondent stated that the “incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc” at CBS News, adding that the “collapse of values at the top has become untenable.”

Pelley claimed further in another statement that the new owner of the network — Paramount Skydance — was casting aside the “legend” of “60 Minutes” in an effort to “curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.” He claimed further that new management had instructed him to “inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.”

CBS News did not immediately respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.

Now with Pelley out and Anderson Cooper having bailed out last month, the “60 Minutes” roster of correspondents includes Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and Jon Wertheim.

Henry Nowak, a white teenager headed for home in the Southampton suburb of Portswood, England, was savagely attacked on Dec. 3 by a knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa.

The attacker stabbed Nowak several times, filmed his desperate attempt to flee, and loomed over him as his chest cavity filled with blood. Adding grievous insult to injury, Digwa, joined by members of his family at the scene, falsely told police that his bleeding and crumpled victim was the real aggressor — that Nowak was a racist who attacked him, called him a “Paki,” and knocked off his turban.

‘A deep line needs to be drawn in the sand.’

Digwa was convicted of murder last week and sentenced on Monday to a minimum of 21 years in prison.

While Digwa will be going away, the scandal surrounding Nowak’s death isn’t — certainly not after the release of damning body camera footage showing how poorly police treated the teen in his final minutes.

Hundreds of protesters swarmed Southampton Central Police Station on Tuesday carrying English flags and signs that said, “All lives matter,” and demanding justice for Nowak, whom police arrested for assault, handcuffed, and treated as a criminal, all on the basis of Digwa’s lies.

In addition to reciting the Lord’s Prayer, denouncing the police involved in Nowak’s arrest, and chanting “Christ is king,” some protesters yelled, “I can’t breathe” — a phrase the young man apparently said to police nine times before losing consciousness, footage revealed.

Remigration activist Tommy Robinson stressed to his fellow protesters that the public does not want the officers involved to resign “with fully bloody pensions” but to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

A spokesman for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, which oversees Southampton, confirmed to Blaze News that three of the officers who responded to the scene of Nowak’s murder in December are still serving but that one officer has resigned.

The spokesman noted further that the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which is investigating the incident, is treating the officers as witnesses, meaning they are “not subject to any restrictions.”

The police department complained on social media Tuesday about “the significant spread of misinformation online” and has asked that “people avoid harmful speculation online” while the IOPC investigation is under way.

While Britons took to the streets to signal their displeasure, lawmakers and other officials — confronted with the bloody results of years of woke policies — have roundly condemned the murder and character assassination of Nowak.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for instance, called the body camera footage “harrowing” and noted that “it’s absolutely right that the IOPC is looking at this.”

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch blasted Britain’s “race-based laws” and “two-tiered policing.”

“The fear of being called racist was greater than dealing with Henry Nowak’s murder,” said Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who demanded on Monday that England’s attorney general ensure that Digwa can never walk free again. “We should respond to this with pure cold rage.”

“Enough is enough — a deep line needs to be drawn in the sand. Talk is weak. Britain needs to say no more, and mean it,” wrote Rupert Lowe, the leader of Restore Britain.

In her lengthy response to the scandal, British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made sure to reassure the public that “everyone in this country is equal before the law,” that there can be no justification for vigilante justice, and that the Labour regime “is committed to halving knife crime in this decade.”

There is a building in Veldhoven, in the Southern Netherlands, where engineers fire droplets of molten tin through a vacuum chamber 50,000 per second. Each droplet is intercepted by a laser, vaporized into plasma, and impelled to emit light at a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers, less than a thousandth the width of a human hair. The plasma is briefly 40 times hotter than the surface of the sun.

The machine that does this work is called an EUV lithography scanner, made by a Dutch company named ASML, the only such manufacturer. Your smartphone only works because of it.

Welcome to the Veldhoven choke point.

The EUV lithography scanner is, by some measures, the most complex manufactured object on earth. In 2025, ASML recorded revenue of 32.7 billion euros, of which it spent €4.7 billion on R&D. The scanner itself weighs more than 150 metric tons. Shipping one requires roughly 250 crates, 40 freight containers, several cargo planes, and 20 trucks.

The ultimate printing press

Lithography is a printing process: a pattern on a mask is optically projected onto a silicon wafer coated with photoresist, and the exposed regions are chemically altered to form circuits. Smaller features require shorter wavelengths of light according to the Rayleigh criterion. For decades, the industry shortened wavelengths incrementally, moving from visible light through ultraviolet to deep ultraviolet at 193 nanometers, squeezing extra performance through immersion fluids and clever tricks of computational correction.

What looks like ubiquitous computation is, underneath, managed scarcity.

The next step, extreme ultraviolet at 13.5 nanometers, required a fundamentally different machine: vacuum chambers, because EUV is absorbed by air; reflective mirrors rather than glass lenses, because EUV is absorbed by glass; mirrors polished to picometer tolerances, because at that wavelength any surface irregularity is an error. Zeiss, in Germany, makes these mirrors. They are roughly a meter across. Each mirror has more than 100 alternating layers of molybdenum and silicon, each layer a few nanometers thick. The largest ones are the smoothest objects humans have ever made.

ASML did not arrive at this position through genius alone. The company began in 1984 as a joint venture between Philips and ASM International, in a shed behind the Philips campus, with a staff that was given little funding and told to figure things out. Its first commercial product failed. The company survived by licensing technology aggressively and co-developing with suppliers. When EUV became the industry’s necessary next step, ASML had already positioned itself at the center of the effort. It acquired Silicon Valley Group in 2001, inheriting proximity to the U.S. research base that had done foundational EUV work. It acquired Cymer in 2013, bringing the light-source development in-house. It launched a co-investment program in 2012 in which Intel, TSMC, and Samsung paid €1.38 billion for the right to help fund EUV’s development and own a piece of the company that would sell them the tools.

The first commercial electronics enabled by EUV appeared in 2019. The research had begun in the 1980s. Nikon and Canon, both serious competitors in earlier generations of lithography, fell behind because they lacked the network. They did not have the suppliers, the customer co-investment, the acquired capabilities, or the tolerance for 30 years of deferred returns. Dominance in hard technology can look like the patient assembly of dependencies.

Printing money

The scanner imposes a disciplined way of seeing matter at scales that have no analogy in ordinary experience. A human hair is approximately 70,000 nanometers wide. ASML’S next generation of scanner, the High-NA EUV, has a resolution of roughly 8 nanometers. This required a redesigned optical system called anamorphic optics, in which the image is scaled differently in horizontal and vertical directions.

It would be a mistake to think of ASML’s dominance as residing in the scanner. The actual dominance is in the installed base of machines already running in fabs in Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States; in the €8.2 billion in annual service revenue that grew 26% in 2025; in the field engineers who operate on a 24-hour global rotation, resolving roughly 95% of issues locally, constituting a permanent guild of expertise that no competitor can easily replicate.

The Dutch government has restricted exports of ASML’s advanced tools since 2023, with additional restrictions added in 2024 and 2025. The United States has pressed allies toward wider controls. China, which generated roughly a third of ASML’s 2025 sales, has been cut off from the most advanced systems and is expected to account for only about 20% of revenue in 2026. In May 2026, the Dutch government publicly objected to proposed U.S. legislation that would extend restrictions further. A private firm in Veldhoven has become a standing item in diplomatic correspondence between sovereign states.

ASML employs more than 44,000 people of 143 nationalities across more than 60 locations, and approximately 80% of its components come from a global supplier network. The machine that prints the world’s smallest features is assembled from a wide collaboration: German optics, German lasers, American light-source expertise, Belgian research infrastructure, Taiwanese and Korean and American customers. What looks like a Dutch company is a Dutch-coordinated actor network that has been stabilized, over decades, into something that behaves like a single artifact.

We speak of the digital world as if it were weightless, as if computation were a condition of the atmosphere rather than a product of factories in specific places run by specific people under specific export licenses. EUV lithography makes the concealment harder to maintain. The allegedly frictionless economy runs on tin plasma, picometer-smooth mirrors, and the continued willingness of the Dutch government to issue the right permits. What looks like ubiquitous computation is, underneath, managed scarcity: a single network managed from Veldhoven.

Florida police said a 27-year-old woman left a 3-year-old child in a hot car for several hours while she donated blood at a plasma center on Sunday afternoon.

The woman found the girl unresponsive when she came back to the car and frantically called police for help at about 4:32 p.m., according to a Facebook post from the DeLand Police Department.

‘I started to cry because I didn’t think I was going to be able to get her back.’

While police raced to the business park on New York Avenue, bystanders tried to help the girl, and one was giving her CPR when emergency responders arrived.

The girl was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.

An investigation by the DeLand Police Dept. determined that Latana Williams left the child unattended for about two hours on a day when the outside temperature had reached 84 degrees.

The girl was treated for symptoms consistent with heat exhaustion, according to the arrest report.

Police said Williams told them that the air conditioning was left running in the car and that she was monitoring the child through FaceTime on a tablet. However, police said they believed the car had been left with the ignition off.

One bystander named Marc Tait recorded Williams after she found her daughter and said he thought he was watching a child die.

Rosemary Roile told WESH-TV she was the person who gave the child CPR. She recalled becoming emotional after the child regained consciousness.

“I started to cry because I didn’t think I was going to be able to get her back,” Roile said.

Police arrested Williams on Sunday, and she was charged with child neglect, a first-degree felony. She denied any wrongdoing.

“Please take this as a reminder to always check your back seats,” said Captain Prurince Dice, one of the officers who responded to the scene.

“Give yourself enough time when you’re traveling so you’re not in a rush when you arrive at your destination,” he added.

Police said Monday that the child would likely recover but did not offer specifics about her condition.
