U.S. tech stocks faced a historic $1 trillion selloff Monday after Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model developed for just $6 million in two months—without using Nvidia's premium chips. The news sent Nvidia shares plunging 17% in early trading, resulting in a market cap loss of nearly $600 billion—the largest single-day loss in U.S. market history. Other tech giants, including Microsoft, Meta, and Tesla, also fell sharply. China's DeepSeek quickly surged to the top of Apple's App Store, surpassing OpenAI's ChatGPT. However, on Monday, the company reported experiencing "large-scale malicious attacks" on its services, which led to temporary limitations on new user registrations. The market reaction came just days after President Trump announced a $500 billion AI initiative called Stargate, raising questions about the massive investments being funneled into U.S. artificial intelligence development compared to the low cost of developing DeepSeek. | Trump Takes On Military Policy President Donald Trump is expected to sign new executive orders to reinstate troops dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine and to remove military diversity and equity (DEI) programs, among other changes to the military. Newly sworn-in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrived at the Pentagon for his first day and told reporters that additional actions addressing the admission of transgender troops and the development of a U.S. version of the Israeli "Iron Dome" are also anticipated. This latest wave of executive orders is part of Trump's effort to reinstate previous military policies, eliminate Biden-era guidelines, and focus on prioritizing readiness and lethality. | Holocaust Survivors Gather at Auschwitz Survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp gathered with world leaders and European royalty in Poland on Monday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the camp's liberation. Fifty-six Holocaust survivors attended the International Holocaust Remembrance Day event, warning the world of the dangers of intolerance and antisemitism on the site where the Nazis murdered 1.1 million people between 1941 and 1945. Eva Umlauf, a pediatrician from Munich, was just two years old when she received the tattoo A-26,959. She attended the ceremony with her family, believing it was her moral responsibility. "They have to know that it's true," she said. Approximately 220,000 Holocaust survivors—25,000 fewer than last year—live in about 90 countries, signaling that this is the last generation of survivors, according to the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. | |  | | ➤ Department of Justice officials announced the firing of investigators involved in President Trump's criminal prosecutions, citing a lack of trust in their ability to implement the president's agenda.

Ask anyone how to prevent bone loss and breaks, and they're likely to answer, "Get more calcium." Bad news…
According to a 2013 Harvard publication… Men who took over 1,000 mg of calcium supplements daily were 20% more likely to develop heart issues than those who didn't take supplements. A meta-analysis of clinical trials found that calcium, vitamin D, or both supplements were not associated with a lower risk of bone breaks in older adults! But there's good news… Because a unique protein seems to act like glue inside your bones—helping to halt age-related bone loss. Try this protein swap instead. So, if you want to STOP bone loss…
And blow your doctor away with your next DEXA scan results… ⇒ Try this unique protein instead. | |  | | ➤ A Danish museum confirmed Monday that fragments discovered by an amateur fossil hunter are fossilized vomit containing remains of two sea lily species consumed 66 million years ago, likely by a fish.
