Searching for “free VPN” in any app store will turn up dozens of sketchy services. Our Wirecutter experts waded through a slew of scammy options and closely evaluated 15 of them. One is worth using.

Israeli police raid Jerusalem bookshops and arrest Palestinian owners

The Israeli police raided a pair of Palestinian bookstores in East Jerusalem and arrested two of their owners, saying the shops were selling books that supported terrorism. The move comes as Israel tightens its restrictions on free speech and cultural activities for Palestinians across the country.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Excellent post

Fortune Brands' decision to establish its global HQ in Deerfield is a testament to our dynamic business ecosystem and culture of innovation. Their investment will bring at least 400 new jobs to Illinois' talented workforce.

Here in Illinois, we provide the critical support startups need to grow and drive the future of technology. Thanks to the TIEG program, we're strengthening our innovation system, modernizing incubators, and solidifying Illinois as a leader in cutting-edge industries.

Ethnic cleansing; imperialism; flat out lunacy. Oh yeah, hanging with a Neo-Nazi in Vegas.
