Given the close results in each of the seven presidential battlegrounds, several pollsters and polling aggregators are already stating that their pre-election surveys were accurate as they perform their postmortems of the 2024 presidential election. However, one important aspect that cannot be overlooked is that, despite the numerous adjustments pollsters made following their 2020 and 2016 misses, the polls once again underestimated the level of support for President-elect Donald Trump. According to an NBC News Decision Desk analysis, the results in the swing states were close enough to fall inside the margin of error for a significant number of polls, and overall, this year's polls appear to have fallen short by less than they did four years ago. Although we arguably shouldn't have been s...

The United States began its third crackdown on China's semiconductor industry in three years on Monday, limiting shipments to 140 businesses, including Naura Technology Group, a manufacturer of chip equipment, among other actions. The package, which also targets exports of advanced memory chips and additional chipmaking tools to China, also imposes new export restrictions on Chinese chip toolmakers Piotech, ACM Research, and SiCarrier Technology in an attempt to stifle Beijing's chipmaking aspirations. The action is one of the final significant attempts by the Biden administration to prevent China from obtaining and manufacturing semiconductors that could contribute to the development of artificial intelligence for military use or pose a threat to American national security in any other wa...

Trump, the president-elect, declared on Monday that he will thwart a Japanese company's $15 billion offer to buy U.S. Steel, a controversial agreement that is opposed by many politicians. The largest steelmaker in Japan, Nippon Steel, announced the transaction last December and has stated that it is committed to seeing it through, despite reservations about the potential effects on supply chains, workers, and U.S. national security. In a late-night post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, "I am completely against the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company, in this case Nippon Steel of Japan." I will prevent this agreement from happening in my capacity as president. Buyer Beware! During the presidential campaign, Trump, President Joe Biden, and his Demo...

Police in Cape Coral, which is roughly 130 miles south of Tampa, said in a statement Monday that Marlena Velez, 22, was taken into custody on suspicion of petty theft, a misdemeanor. A time code on a police-posted Facebook video of her detention reveals Velez was arrested on Saturday. According to the Cape Coral Police Department, "Officers were able to positively identify Marlena Velez because they recognized her from a previous arrest." It was unclear if Velez, who gained 360,000 TikTok followers by posting videos about her experiences with parenting...
