Breitbart: England Football Association Bans Men from Women's Football
Starting June 1, 2025, men will be prohibited from playing in women's football in England, following a UK Supreme Court ruling that defines a woman based on biological sex. The Football Association (FA) will enforce this policy, impacting around 20 registered transgender players.
The FA's decision aligns with a similar ruling from the Scottish FA and may influence other sports to adopt comparable measures. The organization plans to communicate with affected players about the changes and their options for continued involvement in the sport.

Fox News: For Putin, 'US is the main enemy,' Estonian foreign minister says
Estonia's Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna warns that Russia's aggression in Ukraine is part of a broader strategy to restore the Soviet empire, viewing the U.S. as its main adversary. He asserts that while Russia is currently weakened, Estonia is ramping up its defense spending and capabilities in response to potential threats.
Estonia has cut off energy imports from Russia and now relies heavily on U.S. natural gas. The country, along with its Baltic neighbors, is also withdrawing from a treaty banning anti-personnel mines, citing Russia's disregard for such agreements. Tsahkna expresses skepticism about a genuine ceasefire, suggesting that Putin is unlikely to seek peace.
Breitbart: Ukraine Hails 'Important Milestone' Trump Minerals Deal Signed With U.S.
The United States and Ukraine have signed a revenue-sharing deal for mineral extraction, including rare earths, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's economy.

The agreement, which will establish the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, has been described as a milestone by both nations. Ukrainian officials expressed optimism about the deal, which requires parliamentary approval, and noted it would not impose debt obligations on Ukraine or hinder its EU membership aspirations.

In April, U.S. layoffs totaled 105,441, a decrease from March but up over 60% year-over-year. The government sector led all layoffs, accounting for nearly half of the cuts this year, largely due to actions by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Technology, healthcare, and retail sectors also saw significant job losses. Despite a slowdown in government cuts last month, the overall trend shows a sharp increase in layoffs, with 602,493 reported in 2025, marking the highest total since 2020.

On The Water: What's Biting in May in Maryland?
May marks the arrival of migratory species in the southern Chesapeake Bay, particularly bull reds, which spawn and feed in large schools. Anglers utilize side-scan sonar to locate these fish in varying water conditions, with specific lures proving effective.
Additionally, May is prime for freshwater fishing, especially for largemouth bass, which begin their spawning season. Reservoirs like Loch Raven and Rocky Gorge are popular spots, while anglers also target snakeheads and white perch in the bay.

GB News: Electric cars can power homes for days if UK suffers energy outages after Spain and Portugal blackout
Electric vehicles (EVs) are emerging as potential backup power sources during blackouts, as demonstrated recently in Spain and Portugal. Analysis indicates that an average EV can provide up to six days of power for households during outages, thanks to vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology that allows energy transfer back to homes.
This capability not only helps maintain essential services during power disruptions but also offers financial benefits. EV owners can charge their vehicles during low-cost periods and sell energy back to the grid during peak times, potentially earning significant savings annually. As more V2G-capable EVs enter the market, their role in enhancing home resilience and reducing emissions is expected to grow.

The Telegraph: A power engineer on the Iberian grid collapse: It makes me very afraid for Britain
Last Monday, the Iberian grid experienced a rapid disturbance that led to a complete blackout within seconds. The incident occurred while the grid was producing 28.4 GW of power, predominantly from solar and wind sources, which lack the inertia provided by traditional thermal power plants.
This lack of inertia means that when demand and supply fluctuate, there is little resistance to changes in frequency, leaving grid managers with insufficient time to respond effectively. The blackout highlights the vulnerabilities associated with a heavy reliance on renewable energy sources.
