BREAKING: Ohio secretly gave 100% sales tax breaks, lasting up to 40 years, to tech giants for data centers, per Cleveland.com. The exemptions—signed by Gov. Kasich—give Google, Meta and Amazon at least $600 million each. Legislators say the contracts can't be undone.

A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. newsmax.com/platinum/screwwo…

#BREAKING: MSNOW: “You are willing at this point to forego basically EVERY conservative issue, and let the Senate fall into the hands of Democrats if that’s what it takes to kill [AI] data centers?” Hood County TX Conservative voter: “Yup. My entire community is going to break ranks.”😳

A Palestinian child in Gaza, Ayoub, shows his broken glasses to a relative, the lens shattered and a piece slipped out after he fell, asking if they can be fixed and being told they cannot. "How am I supposed to see? With what?" he asks, in a small exchange that captures something far bigger than a pair of glasses. Under the Israeli occupation's ongoing blockade and genocide, even the most basic medical and optical supplies are blocked from entering Gaza, with the Israeli occupation army systematically restricting aid through the closure of crossings and the obstruction of humanitarian deliveries. Replacing a child's glasses, an item taken for granted anywhere else in the world, has become impossible for families inside Gaza, where optometrists' clinics have been destroyed, lens-making equipment is unavailable, and the Israeli occupation continues to deny entry to medical supplies, eyewear, and essential equipment as part of a deliberate policy of collective punishment imposed on more than two million people. @mhhakhwbhlakh

NYC's @israeldayon5th is a celebration of Jewish identity, pride and community. It isn't a political statement about the Israeli government. Mayor Mamdani has announced that he will skip this annual event, making him the first mayor in more than 60 years to turn his back on the world's largest Jewish community outside of Israel and on friends of the Jewish community. This matters. I look forward to marching.

State police deployed tear gas, flash grenades and batons against demonstrators outside Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, as serious concerns mounted over the treatment of detainees inside. Reporting from the scene, Middle East Eye witnessed officers using extreme crowd-control measures as protesters attempted to erect barricades in defence. Middle East Eye reporter Mounira Elsamra said police appeared to make "no differentiation between journalists and activists and protesters", and described seeing people struck with batons during the operation. The unrest comes as detainees continue a hunger and labour strike that organisers say began with more than 300 participants. Advocacy groups say detainees have faced intimidation and retaliation in response to the protest. Campaigners also say some detainees have been asked to sign English-language documents they do not understand and have struggled to communicate with immigration officials because translators were unavailable. The incident brings about renewed criticism of the already controversial US immigration detention system, with advocates calling for greater transparency and independent oversight of conditions inside facilities such as Delaney Hall.
