MSNBC and Rachel Maddow reported on over 3,700 stock trades made by Donald Trump's trust, alleging conflicts of interest with companies like Dell, Apple, and Palantir. The analysis suggests these are not manual insider trades but rather the result of a high-frequency trading (HFT) algorithm managed by a family office.

A report from France 24 suggests US press freedom has slipped significantly during the first 100 days of the second Trump administration. The decline is attributed to newsroom closures, massive layoffs, and a lack of public trust in traditional media. Counter-arguments suggest that the index ignores the rise of alternative media platforms like Midas Touch and podcasting, which represent a different form of press expansion.

Mainstream media outlets blame the Magdeburg attack on a lack of content monitoring on X, following Elon Musk's staff reductions.
