What does Nancy know? Congresswoman Pelosi buys 5m in San Fran software company's stocks - adding to her hugely successful portfolio
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invested up to 5 million in a San Francisco-based company, adding to her successful portfolio of Big Tech. Documents revealed Pelosi's transaction with privately held Databricks, which is a software company based on AI technology, took place on March 3 and was disclosed on March 21. Databricks is just the latest newcomer to Pelosi's long list of companies, but there are eight major names that she has invested 16 million in since 2022. While she has not broken any laws by buying and selling stocks, many Americans and other government officials see the investments as conflicts of interest since she has access to confidential intelligence and the power to impact businesses.

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses' new AI powers are impressive, and worrying
When I first reviewed the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, I wrote that some of the most intriguing features were the ones I couldn't try out yet. Of these, the most interesting is what Meta calls "multimodal AI," the ability for the glasses to respond to queries based on what you're looking at. For example, you can look at text and ask for a translation, or ask it to identify a plant or landmark. The other major update I was waiting for was the addition of real-time information to the Meta AI assistant. Last fall, the assistant had a "knowledge cutoff" of December 2022, which significantly limited the types of questions it could answer. But Meta has started to make both of these features available (multimodal search is in an "early access" period").
Man charged in Paul Pelosi attack details descent into conspiracy theories during federal trial
David DePape, the man accused of attempting to kidnap former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband last year after breaking into the couple's home, detailed his descent into political extremism and belief in conspiracy theories during his testimony Tuesday in the federal trial against him. DePape, 43, explained that long before he broke into the Pelosis' San Francisco home in the early morning of Oct. 28, 2022, with plans to get the lawmaker to fess up to corruption within the Democratic Party, he considered himself to be left-leaning politically. He thought Sept. 11 was an "inside job" during former President George W. Bush's tenure in the White House, he said, and at one point he maintained a "very strong anti-Trump bias," believing the former president was a puppet of the ruling class and Wall Street. That all changed as DePape spent entire days on the internet watching YouTube and listening to right-leaning political podcasts while playing video games in a garage he called home in Richmond, north of Oakland. His favorite podcasters included right-wing pundit Tim Pool and James Lindsay, a conservative influencer that the nonprofit advocacy organization Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a promoter of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and "conspiracy theories about the supposed communist takeover of the world."
Deepfake Mark Zuckerberg thanks Democrats for their 'service and inaction' on antitrust bills
A deepfake version of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg thanked Congressional Democrats for their'service and inaction' on antitrust legislation. The eerie, convincing clip is the work of advocacy group Demand Progress Action, which used deepfake technology to turn an actor into Zuckerberg - who thanks Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for holding up two major pieces of antitrust legislation this year. 'Over the past five years, Congress has held over 30 hearings designed to hold Big Tech accountable,' fake Zuckerberg says in the ad, which the liberal group plans to use for television ads in New York and Washington, D.C. 'Sometimes you land a punch.' 'Most of the time, it felt like playing paddy cake,' fake Zuckerberg boasts. 'So I'd like to propose a toast to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (above),' fake Zuckerberg says, holding a glass of champagne We then see a clip of Republican Sen. Hatch asking him how he sustains a business model where users don't pay for services. A grinning Zuckerberg says: 'Senator, we run ads.' 'Either way, it looks like the most consequential action that Congress is poised to take, a bipartisan bill to prevent companies like mine from self-dealing, is about to fade away like so many efforts to rein in big tech in the past.'
Republicans may abandon infrastructure bill because Pelosi 'linked' it with reconciliation: GOP Rep. Johnson
Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. As Democrats charge ahead with writing their massive $3.5 trillion spending bill, which they aim to pass on a party-line vote through budget reconciliation, at least one moderate Republican is warning the bipartisan infrastructure bill may lose GOP votes because it's too intertwined with the reconciliation bill. "I think Nancy Pelosi did this whole process a real disservice by linking them together so strongly and she continues to do that. And that makes it very difficult to bring Republicans to the party," Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus (PSC), told Fox News Wednesday.
