Humanoid robots are no longer a distant vision of the future — they’re quickly becoming a reality, and some of the world’s most ambitious companies are leading the charge. Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon aren’t simply experimenting with humanoid robotics; they’re shaping the foundation of a future where these robots are as ubiquitous as smartphones.Nvidia is planning to expand past AI in 2025 and launch Jetson Thor, a computing platform for humanoid robots. In 2024, Tesla gave a sneak peek at its Optimus robot, which Elon Musk described as potentially more valuable than Tesla’s entire car business. And Amazon’s deployment of…

Last Monday was a big day for presidential clemency, but that does not mean it was a good day. Both outgoing President Joe Biden and incoming President Donald Trump used that power in self-interested, shortsighted ways, sacrificing the public interest to benefit political allies and, in Biden’s case, family members.Biden granted preemptive pardons to five relatives, former COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and the members of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Those pardons were necessary, he argued, to prevent his successor from pursuing…

Gov. Gavin Newsom stepped up his intervention on the California Coastal Commission on Monday, chiding the agency for providing “legally erroneous guidance” that threatens to create confusion and delay the rebuilding efforts for wildfire victims in Los Angeles County.The new order directs the commission not to issue guidance or take any action that interferes with or conflicts with the Newsom’s previous executive orders. The order also expands temporary housing for all L.A. County’s firestorm survivors, loosening the rules for hotels and short-term rentals to more than 30 days.“As the state helps the Los Angeles area rebuild and recover, we will…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump Justice Department said Monday that it had fired more than a dozen employees who worked on criminal investigations into President Donald Trump. The abrupt action targeting career prosecutors who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s team is the latest sign of upheaval inside the Justice Department and reflects the administration’s determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president. The move, which follows the reassignment of multiple senior career officials across divisions, was made even though rank-and-file prosecutors by tradition remain in their positions across presidential administrations and are not punished because…
Certain questions plagued the Rams offense on nearly a weekly basis during the 2024 season. Red-zone efficiency. Third-down conversions. Slow starts. Varying levels of execution from quarter to quarter. This wasn’t how the Rams drew it up last offseason. The expectation was that the group — infused with talent along the offensive line and with a full offseason for head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford to dream ways to incorporate 2023’s breakout stars Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams — would be an explosive unit that would carry the Rams into January. And playoff win or not, the Rams’…
I agree with your editorial “Rule by edict isn’t what the founders had in mind.”When President Obama’s party lost control of Congress, he said “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone” and governed largely by executive orders for the remainder of his tenure. One of those orders created the DACA program.President Trump signed his share of executive orders, some attempting to reverse Obama’s orders, with limited success.Then President Biden was elected, and signed a stack of executive orders during his first week, despite his party controlling both the House and the Senate, and continued with the executive orders to…
The last time the Chargers advanced to the playoffs (and lost), the coach and general manager decided it was best to simply run it back for the following season. Minimal changes. Almost all the same starters. Mostly key personnel returning. A couple of changes on the coaching staff.The Chargers then went ker-plunk in the next season.Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz made it plain they do not intend to follow the plan Brandon Staley and Tom Telesco formatted during the offseason of 2023. Harbaugh and Hortiz were pleased by the Chargers’ results in their first season in their new jobs, but…
America’s small businesses are optimistic about the economic results the newly minted Trump administration will deliver for Main Street. In fact, recent polling from my organization, the Job Creators Network Foundation, found that small business sentiment about the economy is at a 40-month high—buoyed by high future expectations.The Trump administration is already getting the ball rolling—signing an avalanche of executive orders during the first week of the term. Now, Congress must do its part to help deliver a golden age for small businesses. The White House can’t do it alone.Chief among policy priorities should be extending—and expanding—the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). The…
