Northern Virginia volunteers are helping to bake birthday cakes for kids they’ll never meet

A few years ago, as her kids got older, Mary Campbell and her family settled in Northern Virginia. They’re a military family, but once they arrived, there was no longer the need for her to unpack, prepare for a new move or help her kids get settled in a new community.On a website about what parents do in their free time, Campbell read one mom’s message about baking cakes for foster children. She wanted to do the same, but eventually learned the mom was based in California. So, Campbell contacted organizers and launched a local chapter of Cake4Kids, a national organization that says it makes free, custom birthday cakes for kids across the country who otherwise may not have them.Now, Campbell has partnered with over 700 volunteers in Northern Virginia who she called “heroes.” The group has baked about 2,000 cakes in the last year.FFX Now first reported Campbell’s efforts with the local Cake4Kids chapter.“The thought of a child not having a cake for ...

Drought concerns staying low thanks to July showers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:54:20 GMT

 DENVER (KDVR) — July showers continue to limit drought concerns across Colorado. After wrapping up the fourth wettest May and the wettest June on record, the Denver area continued to pick up more showers in July. Eighteen out of the last 28 days, rainfall has been measured at Denver International Airport. Most of these days have only picked up less than a quarter of an inch of rainfall, but the near-daily chance for afternoon showers has helped to keep drought concerns low across the state. On May 4, the Denver area was under abnormally dry conditions, with severe drought conditions near Colorado Springs, and extreme to exceptional drought conditions in the far southeast corner of the state.July 1's drought monitor update revealed that Denver was cleared from abnormally dry conditions, and only about 6% of Colorado remained under moderate, severe or extreme drought. By July 4, the drought monitor revealed that 0% of the whole state of Colorado was under drought condition...

Europe’s plan to stabilize West Africa erupts — again

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:54:20 GMT

BRUSSELS/PARIS — Europe’s hope it could buoy an island of stability in West Africa is drowning as Niger slips under military rule. The EU — and France particularly — bet big on Niger, with Paris sending resources and troops to the country and the EU committing €40 million to help train and equip the Nigerien military. The goal was to arrest Russia’s seeping influence in the region, eradicate burgeoning terrorist threats and stem the migration routes snaking through Niger. All of that is now in doubt. This week, Niger’s military — the same one the EU pledged to train — took the country’s democratically elected president hostage and proclaimed it was now in charge. As the coup unfolded, the Kremlin-linked Wagner mercenary group was quick to take (dubious) credit for helping and Russian propagandists gladly spread the message widely. For Europe, it’s a major setback. The Continent has lost significant sway in the region after similar military coups in...

Murdered Maltese journalist’s son blasts EU media freedom law

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:54:20 GMT

When a car bomb killed Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017, Brussels promised action to better protect journalists. The European Commission last year forwarded a directive to combat strategic lawsuits against public participation (or SLAPPs), which are used to censor and silence public critics.But in an interview with POLITICO’s EU Confidential podcast, Daphne Caruana Galizia’s son Andrew Caruana Galizia has lambasted the EU’s watershed anti-SLAPP law as insufficient. “In reality, the proposal as it stands would not have helped my mother in any of her cases,” he said. Daphne Caruana Galizia faced 43 civil and five criminal lawsuits at the time of her death.In recent years, the EU has seen a rise in SLAPPs: unfounded cases brought against journalists, activists or other public figures, often by wealthy and powerful people, which explicitly aim to stifle free speech and kill legitimate investigation or criticism. Unfounded cases place a massive financial bu...
