The state of Michigan (MEDC) has given $1 million in incentives to an Israeli drone company to establish its U.S. headquarters in Sterling Heights, a Detroit suburb.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer praised the move, saying it will create 125 jobs: “Michigan is ... winning big projects in next-generation industries from aviation to defense"
The Israeli company will create "counter-drone platforms, optical surveillance systems, and mobile defense systems"

🇩🇪 Friedrich Merz, canciller alemán:
"Simplemente ya no somos lo suficientemente productivos. Todos pueden decir: 'Ya estoy haciendo mucho'.
Pero cuando regresen de China, señoras y señores, verán las cosas con más claridad.
Con el equilibrio entre trabajo y vida personal y una semana laboral de cuatro días, no podemos sostener la prosperidad a largo plazo en nuestro país. Simplemente tenemos que trabajar más duro."
Initiative 195 would eliminate Colorado's 4.4% flat income tax rate and replace it with a graduated income tax system starting Jan. 1, 2027. Individuals and businesses earning more than $500,000 a year would pay higher taxes, while about 97% of Coloradans would see a tax reduction. https://t.co/DAwOO19xyC
97% of Coloradans would get a tax cut if Initiative 195 passes while raising nearly $3 billion for our state, but Jeff here wants you to embrace false consciousness and vote like the billionaires who benefit most from the policy want you to
One of the most heinous crimes in human history: Israel bombed a bus carrying kindergarten children this morning, killing everyone inside. This defies human comprehension.

They are still pulling bones and skulls out of the rubble in Gaza.
We need Nuremberg-style trials for everyone who funded and carried out this genocide.
That means Biden, Trump, Netanyahu, their staff, IDF soldiers, and members of the media who covered up and laundered the genocide.
I’m writing this tweet from inside Gaza City, with nothing but anger and grief in my heart.
Who told you the war had stopped? They lied to you. The bombing has not stopped for a single day. Today, a strike hit right next to where I live. Every day there is death, destruction, and fear.
Gaza City has collapsed. Entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, with gunfire and explosions even inside the areas of the Yellow Line. We don’t know where to run or where we can be safe.
The aircraft are flying extremely low over our heads right now. Their sound is terrifying, and quadcopters are flying directly over the tents. We are surrounded from every direction, and every day we somehow survive.
The world outside continues with its life as if nothing is happening, as if human beings aren’t dying here every single day. While we live waiting for a moment that could be our last.
Write about what is happening here. Share it. Don’t let the world forget that we are still living under bombing and death. The war has not stopped in Gaza.
Does the world realize that dental clinics across Gaza are shutting down one after another, and that people are being left with nowhere to escape the pain?
There is no anesthesia, no filling material, and not even the most basic medical supplies. People are now being forced to have their teeth extracted without anesthesia, not because they choose to, but because proper treatment is no longer possible.
Children lie awake all night, crying from unbearable tooth pain, while their parents sit helplessly beside them, with no medicine, no treatment, and no way to ease their suffering. And even when treatment is available, its cost has become so high that most families simply cannot afford it.
How did we reach the point where saving and treating a tooth has become a luxury? How did extracting a tooth without anesthesia become an ordinary reality for people here?
Day after day, the most basic necessities of life are being taken away from us. Gaza is not only losing essential services; it is being pushed centuries backward, to a time when pain was simply something people had to endure.
What once seemed unimaginable has become our reality. In Gaza, even escaping the pain of a toothache has become a dream that many can no longer afford.
EXCLUSIVE: Military leaders warned Hegseth that keeping the force of more than 50,000 troops in the Middle East is unsustainable, drawing “non-concurs” from them in recent orders to extend troops. (gift link) w/ @AlexHortonTX https://t.co/T7MkcRuKMT
it breaks my heart to think of the indigenous people who lived in this paradise for millennia, only to be genocided so Amerikkkans could live the most base, miserable existence history has seen
