Carolyn Kaster/AP Photo There was no home-field advantage for Vivek Ramaswamy when he tried to speak to a convention of libertarians this week. The Ohio gubernatorial candidate was forced to flee the stage at the Young Americans for Liberty convention on Wednesday night after he was mercilessly booed by the angry crowd. The unceremonious exit came in the midst of Ramaswamy’s scheduled 30-minute speech at Xavier University in Cincinnati, where he was one of the top speakers of the night, second only to gun-rights advocate and YouTuber Brandon Herrera, who is running for state office in Texas. Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati, was about halfway through his speech when he told the audience, “The truth of the matter is, you know no matter what happens, whichever direction we go, people of my generation have already made it. We’re gonna be fine,” video posted to X showed. Vivek Ramaswamy is booed offstage after telling Ohio crowd, 'The truth of the matter is, people in my generation have already made it.

The video cuts before a man can be heard shouting at Ramaswamy. “You’re a political freak,” the man screams. “You need to get the f*ck out of here!” The crowd loudly cheers and boos as Ramaswamy, 40, then turns tail and leaves the stage, the clip, posted to X on Friday, showed. The footage quickly racked up more than 2.7 million views. The failed presidential candidate, who tried to run for the White House in 2024 before bowing out, was then appointed to co-lead the controversial Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE), which became notorious for unscrupulously slashing massive amounts of federal spending. He left DOGE in January 2025. Ramaswamy then launched his bid to become governor of Ohio, where incumbent Mike DeWine (R) is term-limited, a month later. Despite earning DeWine’s endorsement, Ramaswamy was trailing Democrat Amy Acton in the reliably red state, a poll released last month showed. —The post WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Booed Off Stage by Libertarian Crowd: ‘Get the F*ck Out of Here’ first appeared on Mediaite.

RIGHT: John Cornyn (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) LEFT: Donald Trump (Mark Schiefelbein/AP photo) President Donald Trump lashed out at former ally Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), attacking the lawmaker for stalling acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination to permanently lead the Justice Department. Cornyn is one of two Republican senators who have prevented Blanche’s nomination from advancing through the Senate Judiciary Committee, with opposition centered on the president’s controversial $1.776 billion compensation fund for January 6 defendants prosecuted under the Biden administration. In a lengthy Truth Social post on Friday, Trump accused the Texas senator of reversing his position on the fund, arguing Cornyn’s opposition only emerged after Trump backed his Republican primary challenger, Ken Paxton. (Screengrab via Truth Social) “John Cornyn never had a problem with the so called ‘Fund,’ which will not benefit me, but rather the great American Patriots who were hunted down like dogs and whose lives were unfairly and illegally destroyed by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, until after I decided to Endorse and Support his Republican Primary opponent in Texas, who easily won the Nomination for the United States Senate,” Trump wrote. Defending the fund, Trump went on to describe its intended recipients as victims of government abuse. He said those prosecuted had been treated unfairly. “They are suffering still, many ruined, and I felt that they should be given compensation for what has been done to them,” Trump wrote, later adding: “I will always feel that these victims of government abuse should be paid back for what they were forced to endure, their lives have been ruined!” The president also revived his longstanding claims that law enforcement had been “weaponized” against him, referencing the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago residence. Trump said he had declined any personal compensation despite what he called the “illegal and unprecedented raid,” adding that Cornyn, among other senators, had previously condemned that investigation before changing course after he was defeated. “Millions of people agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate, and so did John Cornyn, until he lost his Election to an opponent that I Endorsed,” Trump wrote. “Todd Blanche, a good man, should be immediately approved as U.S. Attorney General. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he concluded.The post Trump Explodes at John Cornyn Over Todd Blanche Stand-Off – ‘Never Had a Problem’ Before… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - US ‘Leaning on’ Ukraine for Help With Drone Tech to Use Against Iran as War ...
Julia Demaree Nikhinson/AP Photo Ukraine has become such an authority on drones that the U.S. has turned to the Eastern European nation for help with its own military tech, according to a report. The two countries inked a deal last week to have Ukraine send its drones to the U.S. for military testing and evaluation, according to NBC News. “We are so proud that we have a lot of activity to work with for our technologies,” Olga Stefanishyna, the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., told the outlet Thursday. The deal shows Ukraine is in a “winning spot,” she added. The agreement comes as the U.S. is embroiled in the conflict in Iran, which five months on, shows little signs of ending. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a closed-door meeting at the White House this week, where Zelensky reportedly asked Trump to push Elon Musk to allow Ukraine to use Starlink to guide its drones inside Russia. The conflict has seen the U.S. even drain its stockpile of munitions, The New York Times reported. Barely eight weeks into the war, which began on Feb. 28, the United States “burned around 1,100 of its long-range stealth cruise missiles built for a war with China, close to the total number remaining in the U.S. stockpile,” according to the outlet’s April report. “The military has fired off more than 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles, roughly 10 times the number it currently buys each year.” Ukraine, meanwhile, has scrappily battled Russia since February 2022, with its drone technology advancing so far that experts have said it’s helped turn the tide of that conflict. NBC News cited three sources “directly familiar” with the current American discussions about Ukraine who noted there are “active talks” about how the U.S. can “incorporate” more of Ukraine’s technology. “They’re trying to figure out who to trust in Ukraine,” one of those sources told the network. The Pentagon announced in May it would spend $1.1 billion to buy 300,000 drones, while Ukraine cranks out about 500,000 drones each month and is expected to ultimately make somewhere between 6 and 7 million, said Travis Metz, the official in charge of the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance Program. —The post US ‘Leaning on’ Ukraine for Help With Drone Tech to Use Against Iran as War Rages: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

One of the winners of this year’s Fields Medal is headed to OpenAI. Last Thursday, Jacob Tsimerman was one of four mathematicians awarded the prestigious honor, which is sometimes called the Nobel Prize of mathematics. The same day that he won the Fields, Tsimerman announced that he would be going on leave from the University of Toronto to work on AI safety.As my colleague Rose Horowitch and I wrote last week, top AI companies now employ a range of academics, including physicists, philosophers, economists, and, of course, mathematicians. But given Tsimerman’s renown, his decision in particular seemed to catch many people by surprise. “It’s like hiring Lionel Messi as project manager,” one machine-learning professor posted on X. Tsimerman’s expertise is in number theory, and he won the Fields for his work on the André-Oort conjecture, among other contributions. So far, his mathematical research hasn’t focused on AI safety. But he has expressed interest in the topic: Last year, Tsimerman co-wrote a report outlining a taxonomy of five potential scenarios in which humanity is killed off because of AI. In one example, a “global civil war” erupts between tech companies and governments.[Read: Where did all the computer-science professors go?]Tsimerman’s move comes at an important moment for both AI safety and mathematics. Earlier this month, an OpenAI agent broke out of the company’s internal environment during safety testing and hacked into another AI company’s software. Meanwhile, AI’s math capabilities are also rapidly advancing. In May, OpenAI researchers used an internal model to disprove an 80-year-old conjecture; more recently, an Anthropic mathematician prompted Claude to resolve an even older one. Mathematics is entering a “turbulent period,” Terence Tao, perhaps the world’s top mathematician (and himself a Fields winner), said in a presentation last week.On Wednesday, I called Tsimerman to ask about the future of math and his decision to join OpenAI.This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.Lila Shroff: There’s been a lot of excitement about AI and its applications in math for years now. But over the past few months, models have started solving research-level problems. Could you speak about the shift that’s taken place?Jacob Tsimerman: A few years ago, models were having trouble with even the most basic questions. But they’ve steadily been improving. First, they got very good at these contest problems for high-school students, which made some mathematicians take notice. But then, over the past few months, we’ve… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Joe Scarborough Mocks Republicans’ Socialist Panic as He Warns Where the Real ...
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough argued Republicans are busy warning about the rise of democratic socialists while ignoring what he called the real “socialists” in Washington, blasting the Trump administration’s “disturbing” move to seize government-owned stakes in major tech companies. The Department of Commerce this week announced plans to provide more than $870 million in federal incentives to seven semiconductor manufacturers in exchange for minority equity stakes. In a Wednesday blog post, the National Institute of Standards and Technology said the Commerce Department’s CHIPS Research and Development Office had signed letters of intent to award a combined $874 million in funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. Kicking off Friday’s show on MS NOW, Scarborough said: “Let’s talk about the socialists that no one’s talking about but everybody should be talking about, because socialists are taking over some of the most important companies in America’s economy.” As co-host Mika Brzezinski highlighted the story, noting the equity stakes, Scarborough shook his head and quipped: “Also known as socialism.” “This is socialism. This is pre-[Margaret] Thatcher style socialism!” he exclaimed, referring to mid-20th century Britain, adding: “And the great irony, here you have Republicans, small government Republicans, running up the deficits, the biggest debt ever, crippling this country, not future generations they’re going to cripple this generation with the biggest budgets ever, the biggest spending ever, the biggest socialized schemes ever.” Reading a tweet from the previous day in which he called the move “deeply disturbing” he pivoted to fury from Republicans at the leftism across the aisle: “They point at a radical fringe group in the Democratic Party and claim ‘oh, this is what Democrats are doing, they’re socialists’ and yet you actually have Republicans practicing socialism.” “First, they practiced socialism with Intel, then they practiced socialism by forcing other companies to do business with the federal government, or else they’re going to get cut out, and now the same thing here!” he railed. “‘Yeah, you can be involved in the CHIPS Act, but you’ve got to engage in a little act of socialism with us and let us take over stakes in your company.’” “This is outrageous. Every Republican, every Democrat, every small government conservative should be against this!” he said.

He said he would make America affordable — he would do it on day one,” Meyers said, pivoting, “At a rally this week, he reflected on that promise. Let’s hear how things are going.” The host then ran back a clip of Trump arguing that the “fake news” media made up the term affordability. “I said, ‘What’s affordability? What’s that all about?’” the president said. Meyers cut in: “That brings us to a brand new segment called, ‘I feel f*cking crazy.’” Rounding on Trump, he continued: “What do you mean, ‘What’s affordability?’ – you’re the one who said it!” “You said we were going to make America affordable again. Affordability is the noun form of the adjective affordable!” the host railed. “You f*cking drop out!” He continued: “This is like if after chanting, ‘Build that wall’ for four years, he admitted he didn’t know what a wall was.” “I mean, the guy said everything would be cheaper on Day 1 and not just a little cheaper, way cheaper,” he added, rolling back a clip of the president promising “gasoline below $2 a gallon.” Impersonating Trump, Meyers mocked: “‘We’re getting gasoline below $2 a gallon. Spirit Airlines will exist forever, and Taco Bell lettuce will always be safe to eat.’” “He promised $2 a gallon of gas, and now it’s more than double that,” the host said. “Gas is so expensive that the last time my uncle made me pull his finger, he sent me a bill afterwards.” Watch above via NBC.The post Seth Meyers Mocks Trump’s ‘Affordability’ Hoax Spin With Awkward Campaign Trail Reminder: ‘You’re the One Who Said It!’ first appeared on Mediaite.
