“The British government is being challenged legally over its recommendation for schools to adopt the contested IHRA definition of antisemitism.
The Good Law Project launched a legal challenge against the government on Monday. The group’s executive director Jo Maugham told Middle East Eye he was worried that ‘rules which conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism… could be among the drivers of antisemitism’.”

We uncovered a secret practice within the FDA, one that affects the prescription drugs millions of Americans take every day.
And then we built a tool to tell you what this powerful government agency wouldn’t.

“Britain is firmly back in the grip of a full-blown moral panic about left-wing ‘anti-Semitism,’ once again manufactured by the UK’s political and media classes desperate to shield themselves and Israel from scrutiny.
They are keen to smear large swaths of the British public as Jew haters, just as they did a decade ago when they targeted Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party.
But this time the task will be far harder”

NEW: Missouri Voters Just Made It Much Harder for Lawmakers to Overturn Citizen-Led Initiatives
For years, Missouri Republicans worked to undo or restrict voter-approved laws and amendments. In passing Amendment 6, voters have not only protected the ballot initiative process but also dramatically strengthened their power over the legislature.

Agi: Vino, Lollobrigida: “Un prodotto eccezionale criminalizzato ingiustamente, il Governo inve...
AGI - "La presenza del Governo è costante, ce lo riconoscono non solo i nostri produttori, ma anche a livello internazionale. Uno dei maggiori enologi mondiali diceva che la Francia ha voltato le spalle al vino, l'Italia non lo ha fatto, anzi investe sul sostegno alle imprese e sul racconto di un prodotto eccezionale che viene criminalizzato ingiustamente". Lo ha detto il ministro dell'Agricoltura, Francesco Lollobrigida, in un'intervista all'AGI alla Nuvola dell'Eur a margine dell'evento per i 40 anni del Gambero Rosso, occasione in cui vengono assegnati i 'Tre bicchieri' ai migliori vini italiani.
"I rappresentanti dell'opposizione dovrebbero vergognarsi per quello che hanno mancato di fare nel tempo in termini di difesa di questo sistema e anche di risorse: nei PNRR i governi precedenti avevano investito solamente 3,6 miliardi sull'agricoltura, noi l'abbiamo portata a 8 miliardi e 100". Ha detto il ministro dell'Agricoltura, Francesco Lollobrigida.
"In questi giorni daremo un altro segnale di particolare attenzione, con un progetto di legge presentato dal Governo circa un anno e mezzo fa: 'Coltiva Italia' mette a disposizione del mondo agricolo oltre un miliardo di euro, un risultato senza precedenti nella storia repubblicana", ha aggiunto.
"Abbiamo lavorato insieme alle grandi aziende petrolifere. La presidente Meloni credo sia stata straordinariamente attenta al dialogo con Eni, che è un'azienda nazionale, e ovviamente con quelle nazioni che ci potevano dare una mano, come il Kuwait in queste ultime ore".
"Si sta lavorando con grande attenzione, con grande prudenza - ha spiegato il ministro - lo Stato ha le risorse per aiutare i nostri produttori e dall'altra parte anche per farsi aiutare dal mondo privato per sostenere dei comparti che devono restare sempre più solidi. Per farlo, una delle attenzioni e' quella del carburante e, per quanto mi riguarda, il carburante agricolo".
Come, Lollobrigida: “An exceptional product unjustly criminalized, the Government…”
AGI - “The Government’s presence is constant, our producers recognize it, not just ours but also internationally. One of the world’s leading enologists said that France turned its back on wine, Italy didn't, and in fact invests in supporting businesses and promoting an exceptional product that is unjustly criminalized.” This was stated by Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida in an interview with AGI at La Nuvola dell’Eur during the event for the 40th anniversary of the Gambero Rosso, where the ‘Three Glasses’ awards are presented to the best Italian wines.
“Opposition representatives should be ashamed of what they have failed to do over time in terms of defending this system and resources: in the NRRPs, previous governments had invested only 3.6 billion in agriculture, we have brought it up to 8 billion and 100.” Said Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida.
“In these days we will give another signal of particular attention, with a bill presented by the Government about a year and a half ago: ‘Coltiva Italia’ makes available to the agricultural world over one billion euros, an unprecedented result in the history of the republic,” he added.
“We have worked together with major oil companies. Prime Minister Meloni believes it has been extraordinarily attentive to dialogue with Eni, which is a national company, and obviously with those nations that could help us, such as Kuwait in recent hours.”
“We are working with great attention, with great caution – explained the minister – The State has the resources to help our producers and on the other hand also to be helped by the private world to support sectors that must always remain more solid. To do this, one of the attentions is fuel, and as far as I am concerned, agricultural fuel.”

“Meet the Zionist 'charity' that has brought over 5,000 Israeli war criminals to Britain:

“Zionist war criminals are being hosted secretly in Britain. Thousands have come over the past years.
They are hosted by Zionist families in the UK. They are whisked about to tourist spots and hosted in homes, as is reported on the - now deleted - website of the charity”
[..]
“Fawning over genocidaires suggests that the risks to the UK extend beyond the visitors to those that host them. There is something particularly sick about Zionist in the UK providing what is in effect material support for the genocide”

“Britain is expanding its aerial refuelling of Saudi fighter jets to include bombing raids on Yemen, despite a major spike in civilians being killed in these airstrikes.
Wes Streeting initially said the UK would only provide air-to-air refuelling for Saudi jets patrolling the kingdom’s skies to ward off drone and missile attacks on airports and oil infrastructure by Yemen’s Houthi movement.
The defence secretary is now letting British fighter jets join those patrols, as well as providing refuelling for Saudi airstrikes on ‘Houthi military targets in Yemen’”

How Trump’s FBI Purge Saved Lindsey Graham and James Clyburn From a Bribery Investigation
---
An FBI anti-corruption team launched an investigation into whether South Carolina’s most powerful members of Congress were involved in a bribery scheme, ProPublica found. After Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, the investigation went dark.

At the same time, the battle over #tech #guardrails had raised concerns that the #DoD would follow #US #law [certainly not this one] but little other constraint when deploying AI for national-security missions, regardless of #safety or #ethics service terms embraced by the technology's developers.

Adopting the same microchip that credit cards have had for years would prevent most of the theft, but Congress won’t pay for it.
