    A key conviction tied to the plot to abduct Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer just got tossed by a state appeals court. A three-judge panel on Tuesday vacated the domestic terrorism-related convictions of Joseph Morrison, ruling that jurors in his case were misinstructed and that prosecutors leaned on a misreading of Michigan's antiterrorism law, per the New York Times. Morrison, linked by prosecutors to the Wolverine Watchmen militia and sentenced to four to 20 years behind bars, was found guilty of providing material support for an act of terrorism and illegal gang membership. The court said the state wrongly used kidnapping...

    The Prime Minister has clashed with Reform UK’s deputy leader over the violent protests in Northern Ireland. In a fiery Prime Minister’s Questions, Sir Keir Starmer accused Richard Tice and his party of trying to “whip up fear and division”. People have been forced to flee their homes amid a night of disorder in Belfast following a knife attack on Monday. Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese man, has been charged with attempted murder and appeared in court on Wednesday. Mr Tice told the Commons: “We all condemn, of course, the appalling violence in Belfast last night after the horrific attack...

    Tommy Robinson has travelled to Russia, where he has met Elon Musk’s father, Errol, in a Moscow hotel. Robinson – who has been issuing calls for his supporters to take to the streets across the UK over a bloody knife attack in Belfast – shared video of his meeting with Musk, whose son has been a vocal supporter of Robinson, on Monday. Musk was in St Petersburg last week at the annual Kremlin-backed economic forum, described as Russia’s answer to Davos. Contacted by the Guardian and asked why he had travelled to Moscow, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon,...
  • Costco fires back over lawsuit tied to iconic product as shoppers claim false advertising (rotisserie chicken)

    NY Post ^ | 6/10/26 | Daniel Farr
    Costco is pushing back hard against a proposed class-action lawsuit that accuses the retail giant of misleading shoppers about its popular $5 rotisserie chicken. In a motion filed last week in the US District Court for the Southern District of California, the warehouse club asked the court to dismiss the case, which was brought in January by two California customers. The plaintiffs claim Costco’s Kirkland Signature Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken contains carrageenan and sodium phosphate while still being marketed as having “no preservatives.” According to the lawsuit, that labeling misleads consumers and violates Washington’s Consumer Protection Act, California’s Consumers Legal Remedies...

    Veterans Affairs ^ | May 2026 | Shawn Liu | VA.gov
    By focusing on the physical search for a home, it can be easy to overlook the quiet, internal crisis that happens when a Veteran feels they no longer belong to a community. It is a specific kind of isolation—a feeling that their values, their purpose and their spirit have been sidelined while they struggle to survive. Some of the most common challenges Veterans experiencing homelessness may face include: Abandonment: A deep sense of isolation and loneliness that can leave a Veteran feeling forgotten by their country and their community. Disconnection from self: A loss of self-identity that occurs when a...

    Over 50 kids and teenagers have been charged for a massive brawl that broke out during Hersheypark’s opening day, which forced families to shield their children and hide under tables. Fifty-five people, including 53 minors, whose ages range between 12 and 19, had been involved in multiple fights across the iconic Pennsylvania theme park on April 3, the Derry Township Police Department announced Monday. The mob was accused of both misdemeanor and felony offenses. Officials said two different groups, “Group A and Group B,” were caught on security footage arguing in one section of the park before the clash turned...

    WASHINGTON (CN) — The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel released an opinion Tuesday concluding the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s guidelines prohibiting policies that unintentionally harm minority groups, known as disparate impact liability, are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel issued the opinion in response to the Supreme Court’s June 2 decision in Allen v. Milligan. There, the justices blocked a lower court order prohibiting the use of Alabama’s 2023 electoral maps after finding the court failed to consider if Republican lawmakers were acting with good faith when leaving Black voters in the minority in all but one congressional...

    US President Donald Trump said the United States may begin striking Iran's power plants and bridges due to the Islamic regime “tapping the United States along” in talks, according to an interview with Fox News's Trey Yingst on Wednesday. "I may keep going," Trump told Fox. "They had a chance to sign a deal and survive." He added that little progress has been made in negotiations between the two countries. Earlier on Wednesday, Trump implied that he would take action against Iran for taking too long on a peace deal. "The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!" wrote Trump...

    Between the Islamists and the Throuples, they don't have a choice. Considering the ‘throuples’ on the pronoun people side of the axis and the Islamists on the other side of their base, they don’t really have much choice, do they? Gallup had a breakdown of a slight conservative shift on some moral issues that pollsters had been noticing over the last 5 years or so. People are suddenly less fond of gambling, having babies out of wedlock and teenagers having sex. The differences in percentage points aren’t huge, but they reflect what I had long suspected that we were due...

    Labour is set to pay British firms £5,000 per foreign worker - despite the nation's youths battling an unemployment crisis. The Government is set to subsidise "high-growth" firms up to £25,000 in visa costs for high-skilled workers hired from abroad in a scheme to be announced today. The scheme will cover specialist hires in the tech and digital, life sciences and clean energy sectors, alongside a scheme to fast-track UK Worker Expansion licence applications to help "high-potential international businesses set up in the UK more quickly". But opponents of the plan have described it as a disaster for young British...

    The critical role of Cajon Pass Cajon Pass is the tectonically complex junction where the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults converge. It’s located near several densely populated communities, including Los Angeles, San Bernadino, Riverside, and Coachella Valley. Burkhard and her colleagues determined that Cajon Pass can act as a so-called “earthquake gate,” controlling whether large ruptures remain confined to a single fault or cross both fault systems. When stress on both faults accumulates simultaneously toward similarly high levels, it’s more likely that a large joint rupture will cross both systems, according to the study. The model showed that stress...

    "I’m the look-around candidate. All you have to do to understand why I’m surging in the polls is just look around. . . ." — Spencer Pratt. Just watch in wonder and nausea as California’s mail-in ballots dribble in, providing a real-time demonstration of the “Our Democracy” party spitting in the country’s face again, since everybody knows exactly what’s going on. Meanwhile, the Senate voted down the SAVE Act again this week by 52 to 48 for. . . reasons. But, hey, cheer up, it’s Pride Month. At the same time that California was queering its own “jungle primary,” a...

    Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: * There are more than 1,000 moai statues on Easter Island, representing a key part of the region’s cultural and archeological past. * A new moai, smaller than most, was found in a dried-up lakebed. * The find raises the potential for additional moai finds in the future. ============================================================================== Just when experts thought they knew every moai on Rapa Nui, otherwise known as Easter Island, a dried-up lakebed kept them on their toes. These statues—largely made of a stone formed from volcanic ash and dust called tuff—pepper the island, with more...

    In the shadows of downtown Los Angeles, where human suffering piles up in tents and despair, a disturbing pattern has emerged. Homeless residents on Skid Row are coming forward with claims that they were paid small sums of cash to cast ballots for Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. These allegations, captured in videos and shared with federal authorities, strike at the heart of election integrity in a city already reeling from policy failures that have turned streets into open-air encampments.

    A US drone boat conducted a first-of-its-kind rescue mission to save the crew of an American Apache helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, the military said. The 24-foot Saronic Corsair autonomous surface vessel, powered by artificial intelligence, located the crew who had been stuck for two hours in the waters off the coast of Oman, the Wall Street Journal reported. The unmanned autonomous vessel, capable of carrying 1,000 pounds and reaching speeds of about 40 mph, quickly transported the pilots to a safe location in the waters, where they were hoisted up by a rescue chopper,...

    Omar Artan was refused entry to the United States to work as a referee at the World Cup due to alleged links to terrorism, the Trump administration has said. Artan is widely considered to be Africa's finest referee, but was removed from FIFA's list for the tournament after US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) turned him away at Miami International Airport. The 34-year-old from Somalia was put on a return flight to Turkey, where he had been in transit from Kenya. Speaking to the New York Times, Artan said he was "very disappointed" by the decision. "I had the right...

    Donald Trump has been booed at a basketball match in New York as he became the first sitting US president to attend the NBA Finals. The catcalls came after frustrated ticketholders waited for hours in queues that stretched more than two blocks outside Madison Square Garden on Monday due to the intense security restrictions that came with the US president's appearance. The New York Knicks lost 111-115 to the San Antonio Spurs in game three of the best-of-seven NBA finals, cutting the Knicks' lead in the series to 2-1. After the game, Trump told reporters: "It was, I think, mostly...
