Ashley Pardo (33) is accused of buying ammunition, tactical gear, and supplies for her son who was planning a mass casualty attack at a San Antonio school. She was arrested and charged with aiding in commission of terrorism after a relative tipped off police. Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School went on high alert and her son was detained without incident. A homemade explosive device was recovered; written on it was "For Brenton Tarrant," a white supremacist who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, NZ in 2019.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that Medicare Advantage will be overpaid by $1.2 trillion by the USG between 2025 and 2034. Medicare Advantage plans are private, for-profit health insurance plans that Washington pays to manage Medicare. They are being aggressively being pushed on senior citizens as an alternative to traditional Medicare. These plans cover more than half of the 68.5 million people currently enrolled in Medicare.

Since Feb 2025, more than 50 birds have been killed in the vicinity of Bernhard Avenue in Richmond, north of Berkeley, CA. Several witnesses describe hearing a loud crack before the birds plunge to the ground, and one homeowner described how the creatures "explode" on impact in "traumatic" scenes. Many of the homeowners fear a power line running across the street could be malfunctioning and electrocuting the birds. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wildlife conducted necropsies and confirmed that the bird's injuries were consistent with trauma from a pellet gun, BB gun, or a slingshot, not electrocution from power lines.

After the British mandate ended on 14 May 1948, Israel declared its independence. To commemorate the anniversary this year, the IDF killed 60 Palestinians and attacked a European hospital in the Gaza Strip. This murder and mayhem has been bought and paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer who provided Israel with a record $17.9bn since 7 Oct 2023 alone. The US has been heavily subsidizing Israel since 1950. With a massive heatwave about to set over Israel (temperatures reaching 115F in Eilat, 99F in Tel Aviv, and 101F in Jerusalem), the UN reports that 75% of Gazans report a decline in water access over the past month, amid deteriorating sanitation conditions.
