Forensics: This title is misleading. New AI discovery claims fingerprints aren’t truly unique — And it could rewrite forensic science
AI captured similarities fingerprint similarities in individuals not related to traditional loops, whorls and endpoints.
Human investigators have trusted fingerprints for more than 100 years — but what if a core belief behind that system was wrong all along ?

Forensics: Trump decimates health care education in 2026 proposed budget. Anti health education trend continues.
Nursing Shortage Risk: Cuts to these programs could worsen the nursing workforce shortage by limiting educational pathways (like loan forgiveness, faculty development, and diversity initiatives). Research Impact: Eliminating NINR could slow down nursing research, which has implications for patient care innovation and evidence-based practice.
Equity Concerns: Programs like the Nursing Workforce Diversity Program help bring underrepresented students into nursing — cutting them could reduce diversity in the profession.
Long-Term Healthcare: Less investment in education now could weaken the future nursing workforce, which impacts healthcare quality and access.

Forensics: Horrific. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content – Oklahoma Watch
Utter BS . Another DOGE~like move to “save” women from “gender extremism.” This is gibberish and cripples what little publicity about the ongoing tragedy of missing indigenous women in the US. #MMIW
What Happened
Task Force Creation
Trump signed an executive order (EO 13898) in 2019 establishing the Operation Lady Justice Task Force to address missing and murdered American Indians and Alaska Natives.
This task force was supposed to improve data-sharing, law enforcement protocols, and coordination.
Later, the Interior Dept. under Trump set up cold-case offices specifically for missing/murdered Native Americans.
Report Removal
There was a “Not One More” report (mandated by the Not Invisible Act, which Trump signed) dealing with missing and murdered Indigenous people.
According to recent reporting, that report was removed from the DOJ website.
The DOJ said in a statement that the removal was to “ensure compliance” with a Trump executive order related to “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism.”
Some senators who had supported the Not Invisible Act are upset, saying this undercuts transparency.
Data Still Exists
The FBI still publishes data on missing American Indian / Alaska Native persons. For example, there is a 2023 report with thousands of entries.
That means the data system (e.g., the NCIC missing persons file) hasn’t been fully eliminated for Indigenous people.
Interpretation / Implications
The removal seems more about a report (analysis + recommendations) rather than deleting all the raw data of missing Native individuals.
Critics argue that removing the report reduces visibility of the crisis and undermines efforts to understand and address it.
Supporters might say Trump actually took some positive steps (task force, cold-case offices) to address the problem.
