Canadian immigrant Mark Steyn expressed concern over the future of American society while defending white supremacists during a bizarre and alarming segment on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show Thursday night.

Steyn set out by mocking CNN's Chris Cuomo for claiming that "the real problem" in America is white supremacy, not undocumented immigrants. The white supremacists are "the real monsters," Steyn quoted Cuomo as saying, "not these hardworking illegal immigrants." Steyn added: "For the purposes of argument, let's just say [Cuomo is] right."

You might wonder where, exactly, Steyn could go from there. The answer is that he ruled that it is "irrelevant" if white supremacists are "monsters" because "the white supremacists are Americans. The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn't be here." Steyn then attempted to argue that "the organizing principle of nation states is that they're organized on the behalf of citizens, whether their citizens are cheerleaders or white supremacists or whatever. You're stuck with them."

Steyn additionally could not get over the fact that "the majority of grade school students in Arizona are Hispanic," deducing from this that "the border has moved north" while ignoring the fact that some 56.6 million people prove you can actually be both American and Hispanic at the same time, as ThinkProgress points out.

Hospitals, like much anything else in the modern world, run on machines. Besides the computers that schedule appointments and keep track of occupied rooms, there are a vast array of monitoring devices that read out patients' vital signs — blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, breathing rate, and countless other factors. When something goes wrong with any of those vital signs, an alarm goes off. Ideally, this would lead to a doctor or nurse coming around to assess the problem — but in many hospitals, these devices lead to "tens of thousands of alarms" every day, Stat News reports.

So hospitals are turning to artificial intelligence in order to provide the most patients with the most efficient care.

Many hospitals have a command center, which enables a few technicians to monitor patients' alarms and let hospital staff know when something serious is going wrong. But with hundreds or thousands of patients to keep track of, computers are able to do a much better job at predicting who needs the most immediate care. So by training an AI to pinpoint the warning signs in somebody's vitals, a hospital's command center can become much more effective.

Hospitals around the country are already experimenting with training machines to do this life-saving work: At one Cleveland hospital, workers made a breathtaking 77,000 calls to doctors and nurses over the course of just a month. While "most calls are routine," Stat News explained, some are an indicator of a serious emergency, one where that phone call makes the difference between life and death.

The eventual goal is to give hospital workers more than a few moments' notice for problems ranging from infections to "serious cardiac events." But the difference being made already by learning AIs is a promising start.

Now-former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein celebrated his newly-minted private citizenship by giving the commencement address at the University of Baltimore's law school graduation.

Rosenstein made an interesting choice during the speech, invoking none other than Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose years-long investigation into 2016 Russian election interference and the Trump campaign's conduct surrounding the meddling defined much of Rosenstein's "rocky" tenure in the Department of Justice.

It's not too hard to read between the lines here, especially considering the quote Rosenstein chose — which could probably apply to Rosenstein and Mueller alike, as they dealt with the pressures of an investigation into several people connected to the Trump White House, often facing harsh criticism from President Trump himself.

"As Robert Mueller once said, 'There may come a time when you will be tested," Rosenstein told the graduating students. "You may find yourself standing alone, against those who you thought were trusted colleagues. You may stand to lose all that you have worked for."

But not everyone found the delivery all that inspiring.

The crowd reportedly had no reaction specifically to the Mueller mention. Tim O'Donnell

Does Avengers: Endgame have what it takes to beat Avatar and become the new highest-grossing film of all time? It might, but doing so won't be easy.

Endgame's worldwide gross is now $2.48 billion, putting it about $300 million behind Avatar, which finished its historic run with $2.78 billion. This comes after Endgame, the second highest-grossing movie in history, took in another $63 million domestically and $102 million internationally in its third weekend, Box Office Mojo reports.

But after a record-breaking debut, Endgame has been slowing down faster than its predecessor, Avengers: Infinity War. Domestically, Endgame dropped 57 percent in its third weekend compared to 45 percent for Infinity War. In fact, Endgame and Infinity War made almost the exact same amount of money in the U.S. in their third weekends, even though Endgame opened $100 million higher.

After this decline — which includes a 64 percent drop overseas — Forbes box office analyst Scott Mendelson noted on Sunday that beating Avatar is now "less likely," although "still possible." It will all depend on whether the film continues to experience steep drops like these in the coming weeks or if it can even out.

One of the problems with that, though, is that Endgame will soon face some tough competition that Avatar, which opened in the less crowded December, didn't. This includes Aladdin, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Dark Phoenix, and Men in Black: International, all of which open in the next month or so.

By any measure, Endgame's box office run has already been ridiculously impressive regardless of how things shake out. But it seems at this point that if it does beat Avatar, it will just barely do so, and it will take longer than some analysts thought after that explosive opening. This, it should be noted, doesn't adjust for inflation. In 2019 dollars, Avatar made more than $3 billion worldwide, a mind-blowing figure that could be nearly impossible for any film to reach for years to come. Brendan Morrow

For a long time, we've thought of the moon as one solid chunk of rock out in space. But recent analysis of data from NASA's Apollo missions is posing an interesting question that has geologists scratching their heads: What if it has tectonic plates just like the Earth?

In a study published in Nature Geoscience on Monday, scientists took a closer look at data of "moonquakes" picked up by seismometers at Apollo landing sites from 1969 to 1977. While these have been a mystery for a long time, the new analysis suggests that the moon is "actually more tectonically active than previously presumed," National Geographic reported.

This is a startling discovery because tectonic plates only shift, causing tremors and faults in the ground, when the interior of a planet — or satellite, in the case of the moon — is very hot. And since the moon is way smaller than the Earth, just a sixth of its size, we've long thought that its core is much cooler than ours. A cooled center would mean little to no tectonic activity, so scientists have been puzzling out what other factors could have caused a tremor that seemed like a moonquake.

But for this study, researchers simulated how often those other factors could align to cause something even resembling a moonquake, and ended up with odds of about 1 percent. So it's much more likely that the 28 major quakes picked up back in the 1970s were caused by tectonic activity, changing the way we think about the moon from here on out.

"The whole idea that a 4.6-billion-year-old rocky body like the moon has managed to stay hot enough in the interior and produce this network of faults just flies in the face of conventional wisdom," said Thomas Watters, one of the study's co-authors. That makes this new discovery "an amazing result." Shivani Ishwar

Omarosa Manigault Newman is looking to get in on a lawsuit against President Trump.

Manigault Newman, who served as director of African-American outreach on the Trump campaign, in new court documents on Monday claims she was "subjected to pay discrimination on the campaign," The Daily Beast reports.

The former Apprentice star says that while she "strongly suspected" she experienced pay discrimination before, "I have since seen expert analysis confirming this to be true" and that she was paid less than a male employee "whose work required substantially equal skill, effort, and responsibility as mine." She adds, "The numbers don't lie."

These allegations were made in documents as part of a proposed class-action lawsuit from a woman, Alva Johnson, who says that she experienced pay discrimination on the campaign and also claims that Trump kissed her without consent, which the White House has denied.

Manigault Newman wants to join in on this lawsuit and submitted a declaration from an economist who says that payroll data shows women on the Trump campaign were paid less than men on average, BuzzFeed News reports. Trump and his campaign filed a motion last week asking to throw out this lawsuit, The Washington Post reports.

After her role on the campaign, Manigault Newman joined White House as communications director for the Office of Public Liaison, resigning in 2018. She subsequently began to release audio recordings she secretly recorded in the White House and slammed Trump as being unfit for office in her book Unhinged. She has continued to make stunning allegations against the White House, including recently speculating that the administration destroyed boxes of evidence related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Manigault Newman on Monday said that she wants to "help level the playing field in the political arena between men and women," adding, "It is time for all of us to blow the whistle on the wrongdoings of this campaign." Brendan Morrow

Political lobbying isn't quite what it seems.

At least, that's what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said she realized once she became a Washington insider. The freshman congresswoman said that when she was just a "normal voting citizen" she used to think lobbying was a simple transaction in which the lobby firm threatens to withhold donations to politicians if they vote or don't vote for certain bills.

But she soon came to the understanding that it's more of a social interaction. Lobbyists don't necessarily influence members of Congress to vote out of fear of campaign loss. Instead, Ocasio-Cortez says, the two sides essentially "schmooze" each other into becoming friends.

That was evident in a report from The Intercept which prompted Ocasio-Cortez's Twitter thread. The story shows how a lobby firm called Center Forward invited lawmakers from both parties to a luxury resort for a weekend replete with wine and live music as part of a plan "undermine" Medicare-for-All.
