THAT THING THAT NEVER HAPPENS JUST HAPPENED SEVEN MORE TIMES: ICE arrests illegal migrant who allegedly fraudulently voted in seven federal elections. “DHS said Mahady Sacko, who came to the United States illegally from the African country of Mauritania, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and the FBI in Philadelphia. He has been charged with voter fraud.”
DHS using “criminal illegal alien” in its statement is a nice change from the Biden years.

BLUE STATE BLUES: Yamaha pulling out of California after nearly half a century: HQ headed to Georgia.
After nearly 50 years in Orange County, Yamaha Motor Corp. USA is packing up its headquarters — trading Cypress, California for Kennesaw, Georgia in a sweeping corporate shift that will impact about 250 workers.
The motorcycle and motorsports giant says the move is part of major “structural reforms” meant to boost profits as costs climb — including pressure from tariffs imposed during the administration of President Donald Trump and shifting market conditions.
The relocation won’t happen overnight. Yamaha plans to start the exit in late 2026, with the transition stretching into 2028.
Company spokesman Bob Starr said consolidating operations in Georgia simply makes business sense.
“In terms of efficiency, to have us all together in Georgia — all the functions of the business — it makes a lot of sense,” Starr said.
The departure marks another corporate blow for Cypress.
Back in 2019, Mitsubishi Motors North America ditched its longtime HQ in the city after 31 years, moving roughly 200 jobs to Franklin, Tennessee to cut costs.
California used to be a great place to do business, but then it became a deep blue state.

A VERY PUBLIC EDUCATION: Why can’t kids behave? Parents undermine discipline, say teachers.
Well, so do the schools:
While more parents may be indulging their children, schools have become much looser too.
Since the Obama administration’s 2014 “Dear Colleague” letter, which complained of higher punishment rates for black and Hispanic students, “schools have tried to follow a gentler, more ‘restorative’ approach to student discipline,” writes Banerji. Suspensions and expulsions are down. But the softer approach “has had limited success in curbing behavioral issues, and it has garnered criticism — largely from teachers — for letting students off the hook with few to no consequences.”
Sending a disruptive student to the principal’s office is useless, teachers on social media complain. The student will return to class in five or 10 minutes with a snack.
“NYC teachers call it the Jolly Rancher Discipline Code,” tweets @JimVolkland. “Even if a Principal wants to suspend a kid, their hands are tied by the District Office.”
Good lord.

HMM: OpenAI’s robotics hardware lead resigns following deal with the Department of Defense.
Kalinowski, who previously worked at Meta before leaving to join OpenAI in late 2024, wrote on X that “surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got.” Responding to another post, the former OpenAI exec explained that “the announcement was rushed without the guardrails defined,” adding that it was a “governance concern first and foremost.”
OpenAI confirmed Kalinowski’s resignation and said in a statement to Engadget that the company understands people have “strong views” about these issues and will continue to engage in discussions with relevant parties. The company also explained in the statement that it doesn’t support the issues that Kalinowski brought up.
“We believe our agreement with the Pentagon creates a workable path for responsible national security uses of AI while making clear our red lines: no domestic surveillance and no autonomous weapons,” the OpenAI statement read.
Always, always, always have a human in the loop.

CUBA LIBRE? US Close to Surprise Cuba Economic Deal.
Two sources familiar with the administration’s plans told the newspaper that officials are close to announcing a deal with Havana, though the exact timing and details remain unclear.
The agreement could include easing restrictions on Americans traveling to the Cuban capital and expanding economic cooperation between the two nations.
The proposed arrangement represents an unexpected turn in U.S. strategy toward the communist island.
After the U.S. captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and cut off oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba, many analysts believed Washington might escalate pressure on Havana in pursuit of regime change.
Instead, officials appear to be exploring a strategy centered on economic leverage and negotiated concessions.
Wearers of Che t-shirts hurt most.
