Indonesia’s government has temporarily blocked access to Grok, the AI chatbot developed by xAI and available on X, saying the service produced and facilitated sexualised, non-consensual deepfake images that threaten public safety. On Jan. 8 the company restricted image‑generation and editing features to paying subscribers while it worked to address what it called “safeguard lapses” that had allowed sexualised outputs. Reported tests found that Grok edited images of women to appear in bikinis, including images of a public figure. Journalists in Jakarta observed that the Grok account continued to respond to queries, including in Bahasa Indonesia, even after access was restricted. The Indonesian action comes amid an international backlash against sexualised deepfakes and non‑consensual image editing.
Those provisions deliver about $3.8 billion a year to Israel, an amount that has been characterized as roughly 15 percent of Israel's defense budget. Israeli defense exports rose about 13 percent in the past year, a sign that domestic suppliers are already scaling production and winning international contracts. That could expand Israel's arms-export footprint, shift procurement away from U.S. suppliers, and alter product mixes in global defense markets. U.S. domestic defense firms that benefit from Israeli procurement could see reduced sales, while Congress will weigh strategic ties against changing fiscal realities. For markets and policymakers, the announcement signals a pivot toward strategic autonomy that could reshape regional defense economics over the coming decade.

To me and many others, that video is an unambiguous example of law enforcement using excessive force on an American citizen. This week isn’t the first time I’ve felt “friend or foe” fatigue. Regardless of where you stand on the conflict, it feels fair to agree that children should not have to starve to death anywhere, ever. Now, we can’t even seem to agree whether sending ICE into American cities and killing American citizens is morally unjust. Maybe conservatives feel this “friend or foe” fatigue as well.
Now a small proposed tax is spooking them out of the state. The measure would apply to billionaires residing in California as of Jan. 1, 2026, meaning that 2025 was a big moving year month among the 200 wealthiest California households subject to the tax. The initiative is designed to offset some of the tax breaks that billionaires received from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act recently passed by the Republican-dominated Congress and signed by President Trump. “We believe billionaires can pay a modest wealth tax so working-class Californians have Medicaid.”AdvertisementMany have argued losing all that wealth to other states will hurt California in the long run. We’re in a competitive environment.”He has a point, as do others who contend that the proposed tax may hurt California rather then help.
