  • Middle School Cheerleaders Made TikTok Portraying School Shooting, Face Felonies

    By the end of the day, the Greene County Sheriff’s Department charged her and 15 other middle school cheerleaders with disorderly conduct for making and posting the video. Standing outside the school’s brick facade, Lt. Teddy Lawing said in a press conference that the girls had to be “held accountable through the court system” to show that “this type of activity is not warranted.” The sheriff’s office did not respond to ProPublica’s questions about the incident. idespread fear of school shootings is colliding with algorithms that accelerate the spread of the most outrageous messages to cause chaos across the country. Social videos, memes and retweets are becoming fodder for criminal charges in an era of heightened responses to student threats. Authorities say harsh punishment is crucial to deter students from making threatening posts that multiply rapidly and obscure their original source. n many cases, especially in Tennessee, police are charging students for jokes and misinterpretations, drawing criticism from families and school violence prevention experts who believe a measured approach is more appropriate.

    • Unhappy students are supposed to just do it, not talk about it. Having these jerks tell everyone why they did it interferes with the Narrative.

  • Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas: What We Know Now

    The Rubin observations also show hints of a dusty tail, but oddly this elongation points directly toward the Sun. Typically, the push of the Sun’s radiation moves dust in comet’s tails so that it points away from the Sun. Bolin suggests that this may indicate “that massive particles are being ejected in the solar direction, and they’re too heavy to be blown by the solar radiation at the distance the comet is from the Sun, so they’re continuing to go forward a little bit toward the Sun.”

    As Comet 3I/ATLAS continues on its way, it will pass relatively close to Jupiter (0.36 au), Mars (1.5 au), and Venus (0.7 au), but its closest approach to Earth later this year is farther away, at 1.8 au. It’ll therefore be relatively faint in our skies come December. oreover, when the comet reaches its closest approach to the Sun, or perihelion, it will be almost directly behind the Sun as seen from Earth. That will prevent Earth-based observations just when interesting behavior might be occurring. For example, Comet 2I/Borisov shed a small fragment at about the time of its perihelion passage; such fragmentation around perihelion is not uncommon among comets.

  • Bill Would Fine Social Media Companies $5M per Day for Not Fighting 'Terrorism'

    The idea that the federal government even talked to social media platforms about their moderation was a major scandal. After the Twitter Files leak revealed that the Biden administration was privately leaning on one platform to suppress "misinformation," the courts blocked officials from communicating with social media companies for several months on free speech grounds. bipartisan bill, however, would make it mandatory for social media companies to work with the federal government. The Stopping Terrorists Online Presence and Holding Accountable Tech Entities (STOP HATE) Act would require companies to provide triennial reports on their moderation policies—and violations they catch—to the U.S. attorney general. he bill requires companies to issue specific policies for groups the federal government designates as terrorists and the director of national intelligence to also begin reporting on terrorist usage of social media. Companies would be fined $5 million per day that they fail to comply. eps. Josh Gottheimer (D–N.J.) and Don Bacon (R–Neb.) had first proposed the bill in November 2023. It died in committee at the time. Gottheimer and Bacon announced that they would be reintroducing the bill at a press conference on Wednesday alongside Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.

  • DNC Tweets, Then Deletes, Chart Showing Soaring Grocery Prices Under Biden

    The Democratic National Committee on Thursday posted a chart blaming President Donald Trump for high grocery prices—a chart that actually showed prices soaring during Joe Biden's presidency and plateauing under Trump. The committee soon deleted the post following widespread mockery on social media.

  • Democrats' Rating Collapses To Generational Low As Midterm Cycle Nears; New Poll Finds | ZeroHedge

    Democrats are entering the early stages of the 2026 midterm cycle in a state of full-blown crisis mode. New polling shows the party's support continuing to implode, as top party leaders double down on their commitment to the far-left woke ideology. At the same time, an increasing share of the party is openly embracing socialism, Marxism, and the destruction of America's foundational values - not viable messaging to connect with law-abiding working-class citizens. A new Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party's image has sunk to its lowest point in over three decades. About 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the party, the highest level since the survey began in 1990, while only 33% view it favorably.

  • ‘Sexile’ in the United States: Hundreds of transgender Americans seek refuge from Trump in Canada | U.S. | EL PAÍS English

    many American citizens have considered fleeing to their northern neighbor. The avalanche of aid requests received by Rainbow Railroad represents “the largest number received in a single day from a single country,” Chan notes. To put this in perspective, at the height of the Afghanistan crisis (in August 2021), the peak number of daily requests was 119. “So far in 2025, we have received 3,524 applications from U.S. residents; a 994% increase compared to the same period last year,” Chan emphasizes. To give an idea of the scale of the crisis, the organization receives an average of 10,000 applications annually from around the world. Kreager’s passport and birth certificate don’t reflect her name or gender: “I started hearing stories of trans people with X markers [indicating that a person does not identify as male or female] on their documents — like me — who were getting their passports returned shredded when they tried to update them,” she says. A rumor about the possible implementation of martial law, which began circulating on social media in April, led her to decide to leave the country, as the idea of living in a police state without proper documentation did not seem like a viable option.

  • The Federal Reserve Is Right

    According to multiple news sources, the Republican administration has recently considered removing Chairman Jerome Powell from his position at the Federal Reserve. This recent rise in tension between the government and the Federal Reserve stems from the idea that the Federal Reserve should lower interest rates in the US in order to stimulate the economy. The main disagreement between the Federal Reserve and the government revolves around the effects of tariffs on the economy and the appropriate response of a central bank. Let’s discuss why the Federal Reserve is right.
