They are protesting 0.063% of the total UK population of irregular migrants on boats. That's 44,000 out of a 70 million population (end of March 2026). Legal migrants were 815,000. Absolute clowns.

They are protesting 0.063% of the total UK population: irregular migrants on boats. That is 44,000 out of 70 million (end of March 2026). Legal migrants were 815,000. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

How in the blue hell do you cut ties with Maria Bartiromo but yet keep brainless clowns like Jessica Tarlov? https://t.co/1hQPsLveR3

🚨 ANC, THE GOGOS ARE FED UP! 😂 ANC: “We gave you RDP houses and social grants, so you owe us your vote.” Gogo: “Hawu, wena! You gave us these things because it’s government’s job, not because we signed a lifetime voting contract!” 😂 Gone are the days when a house or grant…

The ANC line is that RDP houses and social grants earn a lifetime of votes. The gogos are no longer buying it. Government delivered those things because that is its job, not because anyone signed a voting contract. A grandmother can appreciate the house and the grant and still vote for someone else.

The coroner and the state disagree. The fight is over one phrase.

The coroner says the infant died of a ruptured spleen, not measles. The state stands by 'measles-associated'. Both can be describing the same facts.

What each side says: Coroner Stephen Diamantoni says the baby died of internal bleeding from a spleen rupture, with measles ruled out as a factor. The state uses measles-associated whenever lab evidence of infection is present.
Why the words collide: Associated measures whether infection was present. A coroner's ruling assigns cause. Treating them as the same claim turns a definitional gap into an accusation of lying.
What is still unclear: Reporters who reviewed the county records say they do not add clarity on either death, and the full medical files are not public.

Tonight's lunar eclipse is unusually deep. It is still partial, not total.

Most of the Moon will enter Earth's dark inner shadow overnight, with visibility spanning the Americas, Europe, Africa and western Asia.

How deep: NASA lists an umbral magnitude near 0.93, meaning about 93% of the Moon's diameter enters the umbra. A thin portion remains outside, so totality never begins.
Where to look: The eclipse is visible across much of the Americas, Europe and Africa. Exact local timing and how much is visible depend on moonrise, moonset and weather.
Why it may redden: Earth blocks direct sunlight, while light filtered through the atmosphere can tint the shadowed Moon red or orange. No solar-eclipse glasses are needed.

The Don Lemon case is under review. It has not been dismissed.

A federal judge ordered the Justice Department to provide grand-jury records while considering Lemon's challenge to his indictment. The review is unusual, but it is not a dismissal.

What happened: The judge requested normally secret grand-jury material to examine claims that prosecutors used irregular procedures or misstated facts and law.
What is pending: The court is deciding whether any alleged misconduct justifies disclosure or dismissal. No charge was dismissed by this review order.
The case: Lemon pleaded not guilty to federal civil-rights charges tied to his coverage of a January protest at a Minnesota church. He says he was reporting, not participating.

The concealment is admitted. The origin question is not resolved.

David Morens' guilty plea confirms a conspiracy to evade federal records requirements around coronavirus research-grant communications. Online reaction often extends that admission into proof of a particular COVID-origin theory or criminal liability for Anthony Fauci. The plea does not establish either conclusion.

What Morens admitted: The former senior NIAID adviser pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit offenses and defraud the United States. The scheme used private communications to evade Freedom of Information Act requests and the Federal Records Act.
What the scheme concerned: According to the plea described by prosecutors, the concealed communications followed NIH's termination of a coronavirus research grant and included efforts involving the grant, public-records exposure and official business kept outside government email systems.
What the plea establishes: It establishes criminal responsibility for hiding federal business from required records and disclosure systems. Morens faces a maximum five-year sentence and is scheduled to be sentenced November 12.
What it does not establish: The plea does not determine whether COVID-19 began through a laboratory incident or natural spillover, and it does not convict Fauci or the other unnamed people discussed online. Fauci was not charged in Morens' case.

The trial is positive. The decisive numbers are not public yet.

Merck and Moderna say their personalized mRNA treatment met its recurrence-free and distant-metastasis-free endpoints in a Phase 3 melanoma trial. Across X, that became a cancer-cure headline, a stock story and another argument about mRNA vaccines. The topline result is important, but it is not the full dataset.

What was tested: Intismeran is made for an individual patient's tumor and given with Keytruda after high-risk melanoma has been surgically removed. It is a treatment intended to reduce recurrence, not a preventive vaccine against developing melanoma.
What succeeded: The companies say the combination improved recurrence-free survival and distant-metastasis-free survival against Keytruda alone. That makes it a positive late-stage trial, but the announcement is still a topline result.
What remains unknown: No hazard ratios, absolute event counts or detailed safety results have been released from Phase 3, and no overall-survival benefit has been established. The companies say fuller results will come at a medical meeting.
Why the reaction split: Moderna's share price more than doubled while replies mixed genuine enthusiasm with disputes over the word 'first,' demands for independent scrutiny and COVID-era distrust of mRNA technology. Those reactions do not all address the same claim.

Lala missed landfall. The damage did not.

Hurricane Lala's center passed south of the Big Island without landfall and weakened to a tropical storm. Across X, the near-miss headline sits beside severe flooding footage, moving outage totals and early damage counts. The two are not contradictory.

Offshore, not harmless: Lala's eyewall and rain bands still brought hurricane-force gusts and nearly three feet of rain in places.
Outage snapshot: More than 200,000 homes and businesses lost power at the peak; fewer than 60,000 remained out by Sunday morning. Viral totals can describe different moments.
Damage count: Floods swept homes from their foundations and damaged roads and bridges. Exact totals remain assessments, not a settled statewide inventory.
Recovery hazards: Airports and harbors are open, while highway repairs continue. A statewide brown-water advisory warns that runoff may carry sewage, bacteria and chemicals.
