Trump NFTs, $ TRUMP, and $MELANIA are crypto-fraud schemes that have lost 90-99% of their value. But other criminals are funneling money into Trump family crypto schemes in return for regulatory rollbacks, policy giveaways, and the termination of federal investigations.

In southern Lebanon, 'the war goes on and residents cannot return home'
Riad Al-Assaad, a civil engineer, describes the despair gripping the population of Lebanon's border region. This area, devastated by the war in fall 2024, remains under Israeli bombardment, while a US veto blocks any attempts at reconstruction.

I can't fathom the thought process that makes people go after the IM vitamin K given to newborns to prevent vitamin K deficiency bleeding. There is possibly no other medical intervention in existence where the risk-benefit ratio is so clearly on the side of benefit. It's honestly really upsetting.

Farage is clearly misleading the public. The main reason that net migration fell by 445,000 (year to June 2025 it was 205k, having been 649k a year before) is that immigration fell by 401,000. The BBC should fact-check/verify and report that this was untrue.
