Legal Storm Intensifies Around BJ Penn, New Developments Emerge: Report
BJ Penn's legacy as a UFC Hall of Famer has entered a new phase, as recent reports shed light on developments outside the cage. Known for his accomplishments in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions, Penn now finds himself under increased public scrutiny as legal proceedings continue. Over the past several years, various incidents have drawn attention, and recent reports have added more context to his situation.

In a recent report published by Hawaii Tribune-Herald, new details surfaced regarding Penn's absence from a scheduled court hearing connected to a domestic abuse case. A widely shared post online stated, 'In a surprising turn of events, UFC Hall of Famer BJ Penn skips his scheduled court appearance in a domestic abuse case following multiple arrests over Memorial Day weekend. The fallout continues to unfold as his legal troubles raise eyebrows.' This latest update has brought renewed focus to Penn's legal history.
More recently, Penn has drawn headlines after publishing a series of alarming social media posts claiming that close family members—including his mother and brothers—had been replaced by imposters. His mother, Lorraine Shin, responded by filing a restraining order, citing emotional distress and extreme psychological abuse. Court filings also referenced Capgras delusional syndrome, a rare disorder marked by the belief that loved ones have been replaced. Around the same time, Penn was arrested twice over Memorial Day weekend on family abuse charges, following incidents involving his mother and a violation of a prior warning citation. These details were first reported by Kauai Now News, a local Hawaii-based news outlet covering legal and community issues. Each of these developments has contributed to ongoing public interest and raised concerns about his well-being.

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says pharma tariffs could go to 250%, threatens EU if it fails on investment pledge
President Trump on Tuesday said he would announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports "within the next week or so," as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. "We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it's going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview. Trump also threatened the European Union with increased tariffs if it failed to live up to a pledge to invest some $600 billion in the US. Meanwhile, the world is awaiting Trump's country-specific duties and jockeying ahead of their implementation. India has called out Trump after he threatened to "substantially raise" tariffs on Indian exports over its Russian oil purchases, slamming the move as unjustified. India said it would protect its interest and accused the US of a double standard on trade with Russia. Trump has signed an order to hike tariffs on Canada to 35%, while setting rates from 10% to 40% on dozens of partners. Those duties are set to come into full effect this week. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul has more details on the latest orders. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs. The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports, Trump said. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ). The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

Merging deep tech and biomedical science expertise, ChronicleBio aims to accelerate breakthroughs for millions living with complex chronic conditions
New venture harnesses multi-omic data and AI to develop the largest platform on complex chronic illnesses to drive breakthroughs in POTS, ME/CFS, Long COVID, and other neuroimmune disorders SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ChronicleBio, a techbio startup focused on radically accelerating insights on neuroimmune disorders, officially launched Tuesday with a bold mission: to build the world's richest, AI-ready data platform for historically overlooked conditions like POTS, ME/CFS, Long COVID, and other complex chronic conditions. ChronicleBio is uniquely led by a founding team that unites elite tech, healthcare, and life sciences: Fidji Simo (Co-founder), current CEO of Instacart and the incoming CEO of OpenAI's applications division, brings deep expertise in consumer-scale technology, product innovation, and health systems transformation. Rohit Gupta (Co-founder & CEO), a biobanking and precision medicine leader who previously oversaw centers at Stanford and UCSF, is the leading scientific and strategic force behind ChronicleBio. Rishi Reddy (Co-founder & Executive Chairman), of Tarsadia Investments, brings an entrepreneurial and venture-backed perspective and a track record in health and life sciences investing. Together, they are tackling a critical gap in biomedical research. ChronicleBio is creating a scalable, ethically driven data ecosystem, integrating clinical, molecular, biospecimen, and patient-reported insights to drive biomarker discovery, patient stratification, and precision therapeutic development. "Entire communities of patients have been ignored for too long, not because their conditions aren't debilitating and prevalent, but because the systems weren't built to understand them," said Fidji Simo, co-founder of ChronicleBio. "ChronicleBio is developing a future where patients can enlist in research, and where the data we collect from them goes directly towards better diagnostics and therapeutics. By building these critical missing datasets and leveraging the massive advances in AI, we aim to accelerate the path to cures." These complex chronic conditions impact nearly 300 million people worldwide, but remain woefully understudied, leaving patients hopeless and without meaningful treatments. It's a disease space desperate for data, and ChronicleBio is offering the scalable solutions to provide it. "Neuroimmune disorders remain some of the most poorly understood in medicine and not for lack of interest, but because the underlying data simply doesn't exist at the scale or structure required for serious breakthroughs," said Rohit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of ChronicleBio. "We're empowering patients and clinicians to get involved in this effort to grow our research-grade biobank and AI-ready data platform so we can close that gap and provide the tools to finally interrogate these diseases with scientific rigor and precision, bringing an end to complex chronic conditions." ChronicleBio partners directly with patients, clinics, and research collaborators to generate longitudinal, multi-modal datasets, including genomics, immune profiling, and real-world outcomes designed for exploration and clinical trial readiness. Its platform is already being used in multiple high-integrity clinics in the U.S. and India, as well as through research collaborations with thousands of patients contributing data and biosamples. "We're creating an ecosystem with global reach, designed not just to generate data, but to fundamentally shift how we discover, develop, and deliver treatments at scale. The opportunity for impact—scientifically, medically, and societally—is enormous," said Rishi Reddy, co-founder and Executive Chairman of ChronicleBio. "We're building the foundational infrastructure for a massive medical need that has been hiding in plain sight." ChronicleBio's founding vision isn't just ambitious. It's personal. Both Simo and Reddy have been diagnosed with at least one of the very conditions the company is focused on researching. Gupta's family also suffers from neuroimmune disorders. The group's world-class expertise is outshined only by its heartfelt determination to rewrite the scientific narrative for the millions of patients overlooked by traditional research and transform lived experience into actionable discovery. ChronicleBio's approach includes: A global biobank platform collecting and connecting data on neuroimmune illnesses A proprietary, AI-ready data engine designed to integrate multi-omic, clinical, and real-world evidence Strategic partnerships with clinics, research consortia, and biotech sponsors looking to unlock hard-to-crack therapeutic areas A decentralized clinical trial network accelerating drug development through real-world access to patients and clinicians For more information, visit or follow ChronicleBio on LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Facebook.

Trump wonders if ‘low IQ' foe Jasmine Crockett ‘is any relationship to the late, great Davy' as he rips ‘lost' Democrats
President Donald Trump tore down the Democratic Party during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday morning and targeted his frequent political foe, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, deriding her as an example of one of their 'low IQ' members. In a long-winded, and occasionally rambling, interview with Squawk Box, the president lashed out at the opposing political party for being 'lost' and 'self-destructing.' In between speaking about his economic policy record and plans for tariffs, the president took some time to insult prominent members of the party with whom he often quarrels. Using one of his commonly used phrases, Trump said members of the Democratic Party are 'low IQ people' and cited the Texas congresswoman as an example. 'I mean, when you have low-IQ people, like Crockett,' Trump began before suddenly going on a tangent. 'I wonder if she's any relationship to the late, great Davy Crockett, who was a great, great gentleman,' he said, falling back on the 'late, great' appellation he generally reserves for the fictional Silence of the Lambs serial killer Hannibal Lecter to oddly decry illegal immigration at campaign rallies. 'I wonder if she's got any relationship to Davy Crockett. The great old Davy Crockett,' Trump pondered. Davy Crockett was a politician and pioneerman who represented Tennessee in the House from 1827 until 1835. His legacy is often remembered for his larger-than-life storytelling and involvement in the Texas Revolution. Politically, Davy Crockett was staunchly opposed to President Andrew Jackson and switched from being a member of the National Republican Party to the Whig Party, which opposed strong presidential use of executive power, expansion of territory in the U.S., and advocated for the establishment of a national bank. Jasmine Crockett has never publicly said whether or not she is related to Davy Crockett. There is no evidence to suggest the two are related at this time. Although Trump's comment was not necessarily an insult, he has used his platform to bash Crockett, who vehemently disapproves of the president and many of his allies. After Crockett insulted Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Trump called her a 'lowlife.' Crockett has previously suggested Trump is mentally or physically unfit to serve as president and challenged him to an IQ test. She's also publicly called the president a "ridiculous tyrant' and 'piece of s***.' Trump has often claimed that those who bash him have 'Trump derangement syndrome' – diminishing criticisms as illogical, irrational, and done as a personal attack rather than a policy critique. 'The Democrats are lost. They have Trump derangement syndrome so bad that they can't walk, they can't talk, they don't know where they're going. Schumer is finished. I watched him the other day, he's lost all of his confidence,' Trump said on CNBC.
