Britain's Prime Minister is facing calls to resign following the appointment of a friend of Jeffrey Epstein as ambassador to the United States, while the Federal Judicial Center removed a chapter on climate change from its guidance documents after complaints from Republican state attorneys general. Simultaneously, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expanding its physical presence across the country, and the Red Lobster CEO is charting a course to save the seafood chain.
According to NPR, the British Prime Minister's situation involves the naming of a friend of Jeffrey Epstein as ambassador to the U.S., prompting calls for his resignation. Police are also investigating if the king's brother passed trade secrets to Epstein.
In the U.S., the Federal Judicial Center, the research and education agency of the judicial branch, deleted its chapter on climate change from documents designed to help judges grapple with scientific issues. This decision, as reported by Ars Technica, came after a group of Republican state attorneys general voiced concerns, including the assertion that the document treated human influence on climate as a fact.
Meanwhile, ICE is undertaking a significant expansion across the U.S. Wired reported that the agency and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been secretly expanding ICE's physical presence, with over 150 leases and office expansions planned or already in place. Many of these new facilities are located near sensitive areas like schools and places of worship.
The agency's actions have also drawn scrutiny in other contexts. As MIT Technology Review noted, a campaign called "QuitGPT" is urging people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions, partly due to ICE's use of a resume screening tool powered by ChatGPT-4.
In the restaurant industry, Red Lobster is facing its own challenges. Fortune reported that CEO Damola Adamolekun is planning to shrink the restaurant's footprint and streamline menus to improve the company's financial standing. Adamolekun, who previously helped revitalize P.F. Changs, expressed optimism about the seafood chain's potential comeback, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
