“I'm a concern so it's prosecuted for their part to the January 6 Capitol riot could claim”
a payout. President Trump, this Department of Justice does not stand for assaulting law enforcement and the kind of fake outrage at this because there's a handful of folks who might apply, by the way, nobody received money, nobody's applied yet, we don't even have commissioners, so we're talking about a hypothetical scenario that hasn't even presented itself yet.
Blanch spoke with CNN Wednesday, the same day that two police officers who defended the Capitol during the riot sued to stop the administration from paying rioters. Blanch said the conduct of anyone who attacked law enforcement would be factored into any payout decision. 30 years after the Cuban Air Force shot down two civilian planes off the coast of northern Cuba
killing four people that were prosecutors of unsealed and indictment of Cuban Revolutionary
leader role Castro. Danny Rivera from Member Station WLRN reports on the murder and other charges of 94-year-old Castro's face.
“The indictment comes as the U.S. ramps up pressure on Cuba to make fundamental political and”
economical changes. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanch made the announcement at the Freedom Tower in Miami. For the first time, in nearly 70 years, senior leadership of the Cuban regime has been charged in this country in the United States of America for acts of violence resulting in the deaths of American citizens. The planes belong to a humanitarian group in Miami that ran missions over the Caribbean, where it looked for stranded Cuban rafters. The Cuban
government has long maintained that the planes were inside Cuban airspace, and that the nation was acting in self-defense. For NPR News, I'm Danny Rivera in Miami. A.I. data center boom continues to drive up demand from microchips and chip maker in video, just logged another quarter of record sales in Piers John Ruach reports.
NVIDIA's revenues jumped 20% over the prior quarter and were nearly double what they were during the same quarter last year, hitting $81.6 billion. Most of that came from data centers, which had been going gangbusters. Major tech companies have been funneling money into artificial intelligence. NVIDIA is in the right place. It makes the world most popular chips for training and deploying
A.I. models. CEO Jensen Huang said demand has, quote, "gone parabolic." That's because A.I. is now doing more productive and valuable tasks through agents or programs that can operate semi-autonomously. Huang's bullishness aside, NVIDIA is under intense pressure to maintain its soaring growth rate, despite the better than expected earnings of the company's share price slipped in after hours trading.

Friends and colleagues are remembering the life of Congressman Barney Frank who died to his day-night at age 86. Scott Shafer reports from Member Station KQVD. Speaker Ramaret and Nancy Pelosi noted Frank's legislation raining in Wall Street after the mortgage meltdown nearly crashed the economy, which is one of the Massachusetts Democrats' biggest accomplishments.
But she also called out his humor and blunt style, like his response when she called him after hearing Republicans on the House floor, denigrating people with AIDS. "Just get right to the point. What is your calling about? What do you want me to do about it?
“And what is the timing? So that's how I talk to everybody from then on."”
Pelosi says Frank will be remembered for getting more federal funds for HIV/AIDS and for championing civil rights. Friend PR News, I'm Scott Shafer.
