CORRUPTION WATCH: Trump bought millions in Axon stock just two weeks before ICE sought a $220 MILLION deal to buy tasers from Axon. Axon then reported record revenue and told investors it saw a “major opportunity” in more federal contracts. Trump is one of those investors. theguardian.com/technology/202…

Trump's felony criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn could soon collapse. In a new 75-page filing, Hearn's attorneys argue the Trump administration destroyed key evidence by draining and altering the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after the defense requested it be preserved. The defense says prosecutors may have sabotaged their own case—and now they're asking the court to throw it out. Just filed by @MacFarlaneNews.

21 July 1921 | An Italian Jewish woman, Laura Romanelli, was born in Rome. She arrived in #Auschwitz on 23 October 1943 in a transport of 1,035 Jews deported from Rome. She was among 839 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Cambridge Water has announced its first hosepipe ban in 30 years. The company operating it approved £6.84 million in dividends for 2024/25. You may water your hanging baskets between 6am and 8am. The dividends weren't subject to similar restrictions.

This document is a bone-chilling signal that the new McCarthy era has already begun. But it is all the more bone-chilling to see that the entire report was 100% written by Claude. We are asked to prepare for a lethal LLM-powered Red Scare. What a dreadful time to be alive.

This map reveals the true size of Africa. I feel that most folks who follow my mappy posts aren’t fooled by map projections into underestimating Africa anyways...

I have referred Sky News and GMB to Ofcom over disgraceful and baseless smears that have been made about me. There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the people of Palestine. I will continue to speak out against racism, apartheid and genocide. novaramedia.com/2026/05/05/jer…

BREAKING: Senator Elissa Slotkin just EXPOSED Trump’s plot to hold onto power. Trump is actively laying the groundwork to manufacture a crisis closer to Election Day and prevent a fully free and fair election from taking place. This is a must watch.

🇺🇸Trump: "China, Russia, and Iran hacked our election under Democrats." 🇺🇸Journalist: "You have been in office for over 540 days now."🔥 🇺🇸Trump: So? 🇺🇸Journalist: "If what you said tonight is backed up by evidence, why hasn’t anyone been charged?" 🔥 🇺🇸Trump: Next question, please. American Journalists are absolutely cooking Trump 👏

Remember: Anne Frank wasn’t thrown into a gas chamber. She died of typhus, likely contracted from the filthy, overcrowded conditions at Bergen-Belsen. Yet, to call her anything but a very much intended victim of the Holocaust is basically Holocaust denial. What, then, is this?

The UK will not have enough water for future datacentres. England faces 5bn litre a day shortfall for public water supplies. A trillion litres of water a year lost to leaks. Widespread hosepipe bans. No national grid for water. Poor infrastructure. theguardian.com/environment/20…

She became an MP in July 2024, she is now responsible for Scotland's North Sea oil & gas industry: x.com/PolitlcsUK/sta… Surely a classic example of why Scotland needs independence to be in charge of its own natural resources.

1. Trump does so much crazy, corrupt shit that things can get lost. Last week, Trump embarked on what might be his most brazenly corrupt scheme yet, and it got far too little attention. Here's what you need to know:

21 July 1902 | A Pole, Kazimierz Skwarczewski, was born. An engineer electrician. In #Auschwitz from 19 August 1942. No. 60094 He perished in the camp on 18 September 1942.

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

NYT: The Trump administration sought the phone records of several New York Times journalists and their relatives — including one reporter’s mother — in an effort to unmask the confidential sources who provided information for articles about the security capabilities of Trump’s new Air Force One. Trump’s DOJ told The Times late last week that it had issued subpoenas to third-party phone service providers seeking the journalists’ phone and text message records.
