US tries to silence RT because it can no longer be ignored – editor-in-chief
The US pressure on RT began when the channel’s audience became too “electorally significant,” editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan told Russian media.
The State Department named RT as one of the reasons why much of the world does not support Ukraine, Simonyan recalled, quipping: “We are quite used to being commended by the State Department and the CIA, but at that moment even we couldn’t help but melt with joy.”

Astonishing 800 million adults have diabetes globally — Study
Lancet, the medical journal, estimates that around 800 million adults worldwide have diabetes, almost twice as many as previously estimated.
The dramatic increase in numbers was driven by the rising cases in low- and middle-income countries.
The study suggests that more than half of people over the age of 30 are not receiving the necessary treatment, as in sub-Saharan Africa, only 5-10% of those estimated to have diabetes were getting treatment.

Zelensky does not believe in Ukraine’s path to NATO — Dissident MP
The defacto Ukrainian president and his circle are merely using Kiev’s supposed NATO aspirations as a talking point while making “blood money” off the current status quo, dissident Ukrainian MP Artem Dmitruk told RT.
“All these slogans, calls for NATO, the EU…it’s all empty talk,” Dmitruk said.
“Such narratives are used to manipulate Russia… or rather, to influence, irritate, and provoke Russia,” he added.

Man dresses as bear as part of California insurance fraud scheme
In Southern California, four people were arrested after faking a bear attack on luxury cars for insurance payouts. A person in a bear costume allegedly damaged a Rolls-Royce, costing insurers $141,839 in fraudulent claims, according to California Insurance officials.
The ruse was uncovered when a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reviewed footage of the purported incident and suggested it was a person in a costume. Later, the bear costume was found in the suspects’ home after a search warrant was executed.
Truly, there's no business like show business.

Italian President clashes with Elon Musk over migration comments
Italian President Sergio Mattarella rebuked Elon Musk for criticizing Italy's migrant policies, stating Italy "can take care of itself." Musk opposed Italian judges’ decision to pause PM Giorgia Meloni's $850M plan to transfer migrants to Albania, calling for their removal. “These judges need to go,” Musk wrote.
While not citing the tech mogul by name, Mattarella made clear that he was referring to Musk, writing he “must respect its sovereignty and cannot attribute to himself the task of imparting prescriptions”. Musk issued a response via his Italian representative, expressing “respect” for Mattarella and Italy’s constitution, but reaffirming his intention to “continue to freely express his opinions.”

Elon and Vivek are tasked with slashing billions in government spending in the upcoming Trump admin
Here are some of the gravy trains the federal government funded that could be cut:
▪️The feds handed over$1.3 billion to dead people last year. A small glitch, really - just nobody cross-checked between agencies paying out the Treasury
▪️In 2021, the NIH gave not just any but a Russian lab as much as $549K to test whether lobotomized cats could run on a treadmill
▪️The agency also spent millions on primate research, including $33 million to a firm housing 3,000 research monkeys, $3.7 million on a monkey gambling study, and $477,000 on research involving hormone-injected monkeys
▪️American taxpayers paid $4 million for Joe and Hunter Biden's trip to Ireland, including $1.2 million for a lavish sound system and light show and $760,000 to rent an entire hotel in Dublin
▪️The State Department forked out just over $20K for 12 drag shows and a 12-minute documentary in Ecuador
▪️The National Endowment for the Humanities dumped nearly $350,000 into studying such urgent topics as 14th-century Muslim-Chinese encounters, the history of liver disease in Egypt, as well as the nature of imprisonment in 16th-century England
