While no motive has been confirmed, the suspect has reportedly expressed support for anarchism. Conspiracy theories surrounding the case have flourished, with some claiming the bombs were a distraction or an “inside job.” The long duration of the investigation has likely contributed to the persistence of these theories, potentially complicating the aftermath of the arrest.

New data indicates a significant rise in layoffs under President Trump’s administration, with over 1.17 million job losses announced in 2025, a rate not seen since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. November alone saw 71,321 job losses, representing a 24% increase compared to the previous year. This surge in terminations coincides with Trump’s global tariff campaign, which is thought to be a contributing factor. While there are some positive economic signs, such as a drop in unemployment applications, the trend has been a marked increase in job losses in key sectors, despite the administration’s claims of economic success and job creation.

A recent study by Pesticide Action Network Europe (PAN) revealed widespread contamination of European cereal products with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a “forever chemical” produced when pesticides containing PFAS break down. Breakfast cereals were found to be the most contaminated food, with average concentrations far exceeding those in tap water. The study detected TFA in 81.5% of samples across various cereal-based products in 16 European countries. Experts are calling for an immediate ban on PFAS pesticides, as TFA poses risks to reproductive health and potentially other adverse effects, and governments do not currently monitor TFA in food.

Russia’s Security Council chief warned that the European Union’s potential use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine could be interpreted as a justification for war. The European Commission has proposed a “Reparations Loan” for Ukraine, utilizing the cash from frozen Russian Central Bank assets held by European financial institutions, aiming to unlock approximately $105 billion. This proposal comes as a response to Russia’s continued lack of commitment to a sustainable peace, which has created a strain on Ukraine’s resources. Some EU members, particularly Belgium and Hungary, have raised concerns about the legal and financial implications of such a move, potentially creating barriers to implementation.
