The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily upheld President Trump’s removal of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat-appointed member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), allowing her dismissal to stand while a case over her termination progresses. This decision overrides a lower court’s ruling that had ordered her reinstatement, and moves the case toward a full hearing in December. The matter centers on whether the president may fire FTC members without cause, in potential conflict with the 1935 precedent known as Humphrey’s Executor, which limits executive removal power for certain independent agency officials. Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s conservative majority supported…

Her gesture was quickly shared across social media, fueling speculation about its meaning. Observers pointed out that in American Sign Language, a similar gesture is used to express “I love you,” leading some to suggest the moment was intended as a message of support or connection rather than something sinister.

Robert Steven DeCesare, 59, died after a shooter opened fire at Sky Meadow Country Club during a wedding event. DeCesare was eating dinner with his wife and daughter when the violence erupted.

A growing number of specialists are warning that online communities dedicated to vivid, graphic violence—so-called “gore forums”—are doing more than just shocking content: they may be paving a path toward radicalization and real-world harm. Those studying recent mass shootings note a pattern: attackers who reportedly spend time in these online spaces often adopt violent ideas or imagery from them. In many cases, observers say such content desensitizes young people—making gore and horror feel more tolerable, or even ordinary. In the case of the alleged shooter in the Charlie Kirk assassination, investigators point to how digital subcultures played a role. Experts…
Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas sharply criticized her white Democratic colleagues for largely failing to vote against a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk, expressing that their support—or lack of opposition—”hurt her heart.” Crockett pointed out during a television appearance that of the 58 Democrats who voted against the resolution, only two were white. She said most who opposed it were lawmakers of color. She argued that Kirk’s history of controversial rhetoric toward communities of color made damning the resolution especially important. Crockett suggested that the vote signaled a deeper issue of party members not fully recognizing harm associated with divisive political…
