Amid the Jeffrey Epstein saga, Rep. James Comer claimed Joe Biden's alleged autopen use was the 'biggest scandal in the history of American politics.'
The MAGA lawmaker overseeing the investigation into former President Joe Biden's autopen use has vowed to probe the former president's judicial appointments. During an appearance on Fox News, Kentucky Rep. James Comer, who leads the House Oversight Committee, said his inquiry would 'look at everything that was signed with the autopen,' including executive orders, pardons, and nominees. 'There were some even nominees in the Biden administration—their paperwork was signed with the autopen at a time when the President's mental fitness is in question,' Comer said last week.

'We've Been Served': Paul Tudor Jones Warns AI Could Be a 'Cookbook' For Humanity In A Chilling 'Twilight Zone' Warning
"This is obviously the most disruptive technology in the history of mankind," billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones said last month. "We've been served," Jones warned during an appearance on "Bloomberg Open Interest," casting artificial intelligence as a force that demands urgent scrutiny. His remarks sparked debate over looming job losses, classroom breakthroughs, and whether Congress can craft guardrails before machines outrun lawmakers. The Twilight Zone Cookbook Warning Jones invoked the 1962 "Twilight Zone" episode "To Serve Man," where grateful earthlings later learn the aliens' gift is a cookbook. "It seemed humanitarian, but it turns out to be a cookbook," he said, arguing that a helpful-looking algorithm could hide a deadly recipe. Don't Miss: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Many are rushing to grab Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk echoed the fear during a February appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience", estimating a 20% chance AI could wipe out humanity—a risk Jones said should "set off alarm bells throughout the world." Jobs Forecast Sparks Economic Alarm Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told Axios in late May that U.S. unemployment could vault from about 4 % to between 10%-20 % within five years as large-language models automate routine white-collar roles, including contract drafting and balance-sheet analysis. He added that junior analysts, paralegals, and entry-level coders face the greatest risk because their duties mirror model-training data almost verbatim. The projection tracks with the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, which expects automation to reshape 85 million positions globally by 2027. Jones warned that banking, consulting, law, and media tasks are "already being done faster, sometimes better, by machines," raising the chance of simultaneous layoffs that could test social-safety nets. Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Tutors Bills And The Race To Regulate Even so, Jones said AI's upside "can be profound" in classrooms. The U.S. Department of Education's proposed fiscal 2025 budget includes nearly $500 million for adaptive-learning pilots. A Stanford-led study from 2024 found that students using AI-assisted tutoring were 4 percentage points more likely to master math concepts, with the largest gains—up to 9 percentage points—among those paired with lower-rated human tutors. Supporters argue that virtual tutors, available around the clock, could narrow stubborn achievement gaps. Regulation remains the wild card. Jones criticized President Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill for including a moratorium on new AI rules, saying it risks letting the "cookbook" publish itself. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is instead championing an independent oversight agency and at least $32 billion in emergency funding. Meanwhile, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released the AI Risk Management Framework in January 2023, yet Jones called voluntary guidance "nowhere near sufficient."

A Mill Town Lost Its Mill. What Is It Now?
The first thing the mill workers noticed on what they later deemed 'Black Monday' was the series of dark S.U.V.s pulling up near the paper mill, at the heart of Canton, N.C. The mill's hulking towers and plumes of smoke were visible for miles, rising above the Pigeon River and the trees that stretched like green ribbon across the mountains. Jody Mathis, who managed the mill's warehouse and coached the high school football team, was called to a meeting just after 5 p.m. When he arrived, men were streaming out of an earlier meeting, their faces twisted in pain. 'We're done,' Mr. Mathis, 52, recalled a friend saying. He replied, 'Done? What do you mean?' Then he noticed that all around him were burly men in their overalls weeping. Like a metronome, Canton's paper mill set the rhythm of life here for some 115 years. Residents in neighboring communities said they could smell the mill from as far away as Asheville, 20 miles east. It was putrid, like rotten eggs. People in Canton learned not to complain; to them, it was 'the smell of money.' Curious children, hearing their parents repeat this, buried their faces in dollar bills to check. If the odor kept visitors away, nobody minded. The locals were proud of the mill, which employed hundreds in town and allowed its residents to build homes and send their children to college. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
