What That Means for Investors. “Wall Street has been practically holding its breath waiting for Berkshire Hathaway’s new CEO to make his first big move.

RESIST: More Virginia Counties Announce They Won’t Enforce Spanberger’s ‘Assault Firearms’ Ban.

How quickly the courts will act on these challenges is anybody’s guess, and regardless of what decisions are handed down, it’s unlikely any of them will be resolved until every step of the appeals process in either the federal or state courts is exhausted. If the courts rule in favor of the Second Amendment or the Virginia arms guarantee, anti-gun Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones will surely appeal. And if any ruling goes the other way, NRA and others will appeal.

So, we could be looking at several years of court cases.

On the other hand, there’s the very real possibility that the bans will be neutered in other ways; at least in parts of Virginia.

The Washington Times reported that prosecutors in five Virginia counties have indicated there will be no prosecutions under the new law in their jurisdictions. Commonwealth’s Attorneys in Powhatan, Pulaski, Scott, Smyth, and Spotsylvania Counties have all signaled there will be no prosecutions for otherwise law-abiding Virginians simply possessing the items Governor Spanberger is trying to eradicate.

Of course, prosecutions for actual offenses committed by criminals while in possession of any firearms—irrespective of their status as “good” or “bad” guns as determined by anti-gun extremists—will continue in these counties.

Pulaski County Commonwealth’s Attorney Justin L. Griffith stated, “I am not going to take law-abiding citizens as of June 30th, 2026, and criminalize that same behavior on July 1st, 2026, solely on the basis of this new law.”

These are the Left’s rules. The Right is just playing by them.

OUT: THE VOICES IN MY HEAD. IN: THE VOICE ON MY SCREEN. Florida sues OpenAI, Sam Altman after multiple ChatGPT-linked murders.

The civil lawsuit comes after Florida opened an unrelated criminal probe into OpenAI, following a ChatGPT-linked mass shooting where two people were killed at Florida State University. In statements, OpenAI has insisted that ChatGPT isn’t responsible for the FSU shooting, merely providing factual information, but Uthmeier does not seem to agree. In his complaint, Uthmeier noted that Florida has now been blindsided by two violent events where suspects used ChatGPT to assist in planning.

“Horrifically, ChatGPT has aided and abetted in more than one multiple murder in the State of Florida,” Uthmeier’s complaint said. “The 2026 deaths of University of South Florida graduate students Nahida Bristy and Zamil Limon were also plotted using ChatGPT, which advised Hisham Abugharbieh on how to dispose of bodies, change VIN numbers on a car, and whether cars were checked at the crime scene.”

Uthmeier then went on to list all the ways ChatGPT has allegedly fueled violence. In 2025, ChatGPT was blamed for encouraging several users to commit suicide, including teenager Adam Raine and a 56-year-old bodybuilder who murdered his mother based on a ChatGPT-hallucinated conspiracy.

More recently, in February, a man with mental health struggles killed his wife and attacked his mother “after talking with ChatGPT several hours a day and coming to believe robots were taking over the world, ” Uthmeier said. And a small mining town in Canada was shocked by a school shooting that claimed nine lives the same month. Altman later apologized for not alerting law enforcement about the shooter’s ChatGPT logs, which some believe could have averted the shooting.

MUCH MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE: RFK Jr. announces largest autism fraud bust in history.

Kennedy highlighted that the original cost of the Early Intervention Development Program was a mere $38.1 million in 2020, but that it had ballooned to $442 million in 2026, with much of that increase stemming from fraud.

“Today’s arrests represent the largest autism fraud bust in American history,” he said. “This was an organized theft that exploited the most vulnerable, deceived families, stole taxpayer dollars meant to help children with autism access legitimate care and support.”

“Investigators uncovered brazen schemes that billed taxpayers for nonexistent services, fraudulent diagnoses, and fake care while criminals enriched themselves at public expense,” he added.

The bust came as part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to crack down on public fraud across the nation.

Just get the feds out of “helping” in state and local matters. That much money in one place always invites fraud, and except when Trump 47 is around, seemingly zero supervision.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: It’s Primary Day in California — Raise a Glass to the Underdogs. “That Karen Bass is still in this race is probably the only sign we need that Los Angeles is irredeemable. Her first term in office is completely devoid of anything that she can point to as a success.

Their politicians just need to check boxes, not be competent.”

SO NOW HE TELLS US: Sen. Murphy: Biden Should Have Left Race Earlier.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said Sunday that Democrats must acknowledge mistakes made during the 2024 presidential election cycle, including former President Joe Biden’s decision to remain in the race, arguing that partisan loyalty can sometimes prevent political parties from confronting their own failures.

“I think Democrats do have to be honest about the mistakes that we made in 2024,” Murphy said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“Obviously, in retrospect, Joe Biden should have stepped away from that race. We should have had an open contest.”

Maybe Biden stayed in because he listened to… Sen. Chris Murphy: Sen. Chris Murphy on ‘Face the Nation,’ Feb. 11, 2024. “There are literally thousands of people alive in this nation today. Because Joe Biden is incredibly competent, and he’s incredibly effective. And this partisan- and this partisan hit job.”

The only thing that changed between February and Biden dropping out in July was a debate performance that removed any doubt about Biden’s accelerating senescence, even for people who hadn’t been paying attention.
