Nepal’s Gen Z just rage-quit corruption, burned down half the government, and installed a former Chief Justice as Prime Minister. Forget “eat the rich”—this is more like “yeet the rich kids’ handbags.”
Meanwhile, California is trying to regulate AI before Skynet goes beta. Will AMERICAS FAVORITE GOVERNOR sign the bill and push Silicon Valley’s favorite billionaires to cry into their kombucha about paperwork?
Over in D.C., RFK Jr. is running public health like it’s a Facebook comment section—floating vaccine policies based on vibes, conspiracy theories, and that one uncle at Thanksgiving.
And finally, America and China might have found a way to keep TikTok alive. Turns out, national security threats are negotiable… as long as you really need your daily dose of cat videos and dance challenges.
