- New York Attorney General Letitia James has been criminally charged with bank fraud, based on claims that she misrepresented her residency when applying for a mortgage in 2020. A Virginia prosecutor has already concluded that there is no real basis for charges, but since James is a black woman who won a case against Trump, the regime isn't going to let a lack of grounds interfere with the prosecution.
- Larry Bushart Jr., a former cop in Perry County, Tennessee, responded to a Facebook post announcing a vigil in honour of Charlie Kirk by posting a meme of Trump responding "We have to get over it", which he did only a day after a school shooting in Iowa last year. Somehow, this was interpreted by members of the Facebook group as a threat, and Bushart was arrested for making "threats of mass violence".
- Air travellers in the US are now supposed to be shown a video of Homeland Security Secretary (and noted dog killer) Kristi Noem blaming the Democrats for delayed flights as they go through security, though there is some question of whether the regime has the authority to order this, and many airports are refusing to show the video.
- Hungary's intelligence service has been running a spy network against multiple EU institutions for years, according to a report from the Belgian newspaper De Tijd.
- Russia's forces invading Ukraine include some 180,000 convicts who have been offered pardons in return for their military service. Some of them were convicted of heinous crimes, including murder and rape; apparently Vladimir Putin is now starting to worry about what will happen when the war ends and these people return to Russian society en masse.
- An explosion destroyed an explosives manufacturing facility in rural Tennessee, killing all 16 workers at the plant.
- A resident of a homeless encampment in Winnipeg's Centennial neighbourhood was arrested after allegedly throwing a bottle at a child and chasing him. The child was not injured. Stuff like this gives ammunition to those calling for a hard line against encampments, though it's worth noting that the last time something like this happened folks in the relevant Reddit thread pointed out that kids had been harassing the guy for months. In contrast to the more recent case, in that situation there were apparently no charges laid, so perhaps this case is different.
