Allegations Of Pentagon “Casualty Cover-Up”: The Intercept

Allegations Of Pentagon “Casualty Cover-Up”: The Intercept

Well-known national security news site The Intercept has issued fresh reporting which alleges a Pentagon cover-up when it comes to mounting US casualties from Trump’s Operation Epic Fury. Speculation and questions have lately surged among the public and analysts given that casualty updates put out by the Pentagon have been very few and far between. It actually accuses the Pentagon of shoddy record-keeping going back significantly before the current Iran war. Currently the official numbers… “Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 303 US service members have been wounded,” CENTCOM spokesman Tim Hawkins said earlier this week. And, as of April 2nd, 13 US service members have been confirmed killed going back to the war’s start on February 28, 2026. But The Intercept is alleging an astounding “casualty cover-up” by the Trump administration: Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it. U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, appears to …

Cesar Chavez Mural Painted Over in San Francisco After Allegations

A mural of Cesar Chavez in San Francisco’s Mission District was painted over this week, becoming one of the first visible public reckonings with newly surfaced allegations of sexual abuse against the labor leader. The artwork, which covered the facade of the Latin Rock Music House at 25th and York Streets, was removed Wednesday by the building’s owner, Richard Segovia, along with artist Carlos “Kookie” Gonzalez, according to ABC7 Eyewitness News. The decision came days after a New York Times investigation detailed allegations that Chavez abused women and girls connected to the United Farm Workers movement.  Source link

AI Allegations Surround a Buzzy New Book

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Even Major Publishers Get Tripped Up By A.I. Remember how we were talking about the rise in books published in the U.S., and how self-published books have a lot to do with that increase? Well, we didn’t talk about how the rise in A.I. also plays into the self-publishing boom. If you browse books on Amazon, you’ve likely come across A.I. slop titles. Sometimes it’s easy to tell when you’re looking at these works, and sometimes the clues are more subtle, as they might have been for Hachette. In a piece written for The New York Times, Alexandra Alter reports on how the Big 5 publisher scooped up a buzzy self-published horror novel that is now facing allegations of being largely A.I.-generated or assisted. Hachette had already released the novel in the U.K. but will discontinue that edition and has scrapped the planned U.S. release. In an email to the Times, the book’s author, Mia …

Norval Morrisseau Forgery Case Sentencing Disrupted by New Allegations

Norval Morrisseau Forgery Case Sentencing Disrupted by New Allegations

The sentencing hearing for a man convicted in a sweeping art fraud scheme involving forged works attributed to the late Anishinaabe painter Norval Morrisseau was abruptly disrupted this week after allegations surfaced that members of the artist’s estate may have been complicit in the forgery operation, according to CTV News. Jeff Cowan, who was found guilty in November on four counts of fraud related to the sale of fake Morrisseau paintings, appeared in court in Barrie, Ontario, for what was expected to be the continuation of his sentencing hearing. Instead, proceedings became contentious after a lawyer representing the Morrisseau estate unexpectedly intervened. Source link

Shocking allegations of racism, bullying and babies misclassified as stillborn uncovered in maternity care report | UK News

An interim report into maternity and neonatal services across England has uncovered shocking allegations of racism, bullying, crumbling infrastructure, and births in undignified circumstances. Some families said that baby deaths were being misclassified to prevent further investigation. Baroness Amos, who is leading a national investigation into maternity care, said: “Maternity and neonatal services in England are failing too many women, babies, families, and staff.” Investigators spoke to hundreds of harmed families and staff across 12 NHS trusts in England, many of whom shared shocking accounts of their experiences. MATERNITY HORROR STORIES A hospital staff member who trained students was heard to say: “The bloody Asian ones just go on and on and on.” Weather reports were included in clinical handovers Staff reported instances of “verbal aggression […] and sometimes bullying and racist behaviour” among colleagues. The doors to a delivery room were left open while an instrumental vaginal birth took place because there wasn’t enough space, with only a screen outside the room to protect the family’s dignity.

“Spare me your fake f**king outrage”: Newsom lashes out at Hannity over allegations of racism

“Spare me your fake f**king outrage”: Newsom lashes out at Hannity over allegations of racism

California Gov. Gavin Newsom railed against accusations of racism from right-wing commentators on Monday, calling their concern “fake f**king outrage.” The mini-controversy around Newsom came after he had a sit down with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. Speaking on his new memoir, which details the governor’s struggle with dyslexia, Newsom laid on an everyman schtick. “I’m not trying to impress you. I’m just trying to impress upon you, I am like you. I am no better than you. I am a 960 SAT guy,” he said. “And I’m not trying to offend anyone, [or] act all there if you got 940. But literally a 960 SAT guy. You have never seen me read a speech, because I cannot read a speech.” Conservative outlets took Newsom’s “like you” assertion to be racially motivated, extrapolating from their that Newsom assumed the mayor of Atlanta, who is Black, could not read. Rapper and recent Donald Trump booster Nicki Minaj said as much on social media. “His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he …
