Tech billionaire Elon Musk's artificial intelligence language model built into X, known as Grok, has long been an object of pranks and ridicule, as users have effortlessly gotten the program to endorse Democrats' economic policies, call President Donald Trump a "Putin-compromised asset," and discuss Musk's use of weight-loss drugs.

But on Wednesday, many X users noticed something bizarre: Grok started to rant about "white genocide" in responses, no matter how irrelevant that was to what it was actually asked.

The U.S. Coast Guard has asked for an additional $50 million in President Donald Trump's proposed budget to pay for a "new Gulfstream 5 jet for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem," Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) noted on X.

"My committee just received a last-minute addition to the Coast Guard’s spend plan: $50 million for a new Gulfstream 5 jet for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s personal use," Underwood wrote on X. "She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way, but she wants a new one paid for with your taxpayer dollars."

A Mexican security official says more than a dozen relatives of an infamous Mexican drug cartel boss crossed the border into the United States, reported The New York Times on Wednesday, and it was likely part of a negotiation or plea deal made with the Trump administration.

"For days, rumors had spread that 17 relatives, including one of the ex-wives of the crime boss known as El Chapo, had flown from a cartel stronghold to Tijuana, Mexico, and then crossed into the United States," reported Alan Yuhas.

Ed Martin, the former interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., lashed out at the Republican senator who derailed his nomination over the Jan. 6 riot.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told members of Congress that Americans shouldn't listen to him when it comes to medical advice.

Support for the MAGA movement among two factions is “cracking,” according to Vox correspondent Zack Beauchamp.

“Hostility to the left is what brought disparate groups together under the Trump banner,” Beauchamp said. “But now, in a world where the administration has to govern, some of those factions are bound to feel like they’re losing or even betrayed.”

A Washington, D.C. appeals court allowed “limited discovery" about the Department of Government Efficiency's operations to move forward in an ethics group's lawsuit over whether the entity is an “agency” subject to public records requests, according to Anna Bower, senior editor at Lawfare.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, sued DOGE, claiming that the entity was operating in violation of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

A federal judge in Maryland has issued a temporary restraining order against the Justice Department for terminating grants from the Office on Violence Against Women to the American Bar Association, finding that the decision was likely retaliation for the group's criticism of President Donald Trump and therefore a violation of the First Amendment.

The grants provided $3.2 million to the bar association to train lawyers to represent survivors of domestic and sexual violence. After Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche canceled the payments, they said it was because the association was engaged in "activist causes" that ran against the Justice Department's mission, but did not elaborate further. However, per The Guardian, this decision came after the bar association publicly said Trump's mass firings at federal agencies were unlawful, and Trump hit back, calling the legal trade group a "snooty" bunch of "leftist lawyers."
