03:35 PM Fake Court Orders, Real Internet Blocks: Indian Government Blocked 129 Websites Based on Fabricated Rulings

India's government ordered 129 websites blocked after receiving purported court orders that turned out to be forgeries. The documents carried court seals and, in some cases, fake QR codes designed to make them appear authentic. On July 21, the Department of Telecommunications ordered 34 gambling websites blocked, followed by another 95 on September 2. The supposed rulings from the Rajasthan and Allahabad High Courts did not exist in the courts' official records at all. The fraud was only uncovered after journalists started asking questions. The Allahabad High Court filed a criminal complaint on November 6. Police have since opened an investigation against unidentified suspects on suspicion of forgery and fraud. No arrests have been made so far. It remains unclear who created the documents or whether artificial intelligence was used. Particularly troubling: Both forged court orders were still posted on the ministry's official website as of November 11.

02:45 AM Kennedy Family Takes Trump's Triumphal Arch to Court: John F. Kennedy's Grave Could Disappear Into the Shadow of His Grandiose Ego

Several members of the Kennedy family filed a motion Tuesday to join a lawsuit against Donald Trump's planned triumphal arch in Washington. The 250-foot structure, featuring a golden winged female figure and golden eagles, is to be built near Arlington National Cemetery. The family warns that the monumental arch would permanently cast shadows over their relatives' graves and memorials, destroying historic sight lines. A judge has already temporarily blocked construction through November 19. The White House claims Congress authorized the structure more than 100 years ago and says the monument is intended to honor military veterans. Democrats have announced plans to stop the project once they take power in January. Now the family of assassinated President John F. Kennedy has to fight in court to keep Trump from putting his monumental display of self-importance above the memory of America's dead.

04:45 PM Affair With Alleged Chinese Spy: FBI Investigates Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Trump Comes to His Defense

An affair has landed the head of one of the world's most valuable companies in serious trouble. According to Donald Trump, the FBI is investigating the relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and a woman who may have been working for Chinese intelligence. Huang admitted to the affair and publicly apologized to his wife and his company. According to a report, U.S. intelligence agencies believe the woman was gathering information for Beijing. Trump personally called Huang and later said he considered him an honorable man. Nvidia is now conducting its own investigation into whether its CEO was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation. Especially troubling is the question of whether China gained access to confidential information about advanced American computer chips through the relationship. Leading Democrats in Congress are demanding answers, while Beijing denies all allegations of espionage. Nvidia shares fell more than 4 percent on Monday and have lost roughly 11 percent since last Wednesday.

04:20 AM After Democrats' Election Victory: Fight Over Data Centers and Electricity Prices Puts Trump Under Pressure

The Democrats' sweeping election victory is forcing Congress to confront rising electricity costs driven by massive AI data centers. A bipartisan bill would speed up permits for power plants and transmission lines while making large data center operators pay a bigger share of the costs of upgrading the power grid. But those very measures are meeting resistance from environmental groups and some Democrats, who fear they'll fuel yet another construction boom. President Donald Trump supports the bill and warns that China will take any data center America turns down. Investment firm TD Cowen lowered its estimated chances of passage from 40 percent to 25 percent. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse nevertheless sees the bill as an opportunity to deliver on key campaign promises to make energy more affordable. Starting in January, Democrats will control both chambers of Congress and plan to introduce further legislation to rein in the spiraling costs and consequences of the AI buildout.

05:15 PM After Trump's Election Defeat, G7 Ministers Meet in Paris to Discuss America's Direction as Russia Bombs Ukraine Into Darkness

G7 foreign ministers are meeting in Paris on November 9 to discuss whether Donald Trump's defeat in the midterm elections will change American foreign policy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is appearing before the allies for the first time since the election and offers little hope of reaching a deal with Iran. European partners fear another military escalation, while Washington continues to stick to its current course. Ukraine is also a major focus, with Russia deliberately destroying energy facilities in an effort to cause nationwide blackouts during the winter. The country urgently needs additional Patriot interceptor missiles and other air defense systems. Ahead of Tuesday's planned talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, tensions are also growing over Europe's role. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warns that Europe will become politically irrelevant if its governments continue pursuing separate diplomatic paths.

05:00 AM Russian Military Satellite Comes Within a Few Hundred Meters of Western Satellite: Suspected Rehearsal for an Attack in Space

Russia's Cosmos 2612 military satellite came within less than a kilometer of X36, a radar satellite operated by Finnish company ICEYE, in mid-October. Some observers believe it got as close as a few hundred meters. ICEYE also provides radar imagery that Ukraine can use for military operations. American space expert Greg Gillinger believes the maneuver may have been a trial run for an attack, since getting that close wouldn't be necessary for routine intelligence gathering. U.S. Under Secretary of State Thomas DiNanno said Russia's behavior was consistent with the use of weapons in orbit. Meanwhile, two more Russian military satellites are moving toward the orbital path of another ICEYE satellite, X37. German Space Commander Major General Michael Traut warns that such maneuvers could be used to temporarily disrupt satellites or permanently disable them, although he stresses that the movements alone don't prove an attack is being planned. Moscow has repeatedly described Western satellites helping Ukraine as potential targets for retaliation. Russia has not commented on this particular incident.
