During a candlelight vigil in Boston Common honoring Charlie Kirk, police arrested two individuals after disturbances broke out. One suspect, 38-year-old Joseph Antuan Castro Del Rio, was charged with disorderly conduct after repeatedly using a microphone and amplification device to interrupt the vigil, despite being asked to stop. A minor was also arrested on suspicion of assault and battery. Authorities say he carried a knife at the time and allegedly struck someone wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. Barricades separated vigil attendees from counter-protesters, and law enforcement was deployed both on the ground and from vantage points near the…
A Bronx man, Franklin Batallas, has been formally charged with murdering his girlfriend, Anthonella Contreras Linarez. Batallas initially claimed the attack was carried out by two people on a moped who tried to rob Linarez, stabbing her when she resisted. According to law enforcement, Linarez, 30, died from multiple stab wounds after the incident on City Island. Batallas himself suffered a stab wound to his forearm and was treated at the hospital. Police say evidence later pointed to Batallas himself as the attacker. The two had been in a relationship for about three years. Neighbors and family members say there…
Former Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledges in her upcoming book 107 Days that she was unaware of the harm caused by a remark she made on The View in 2024. Harris said that nothing “comes to mind” when asked if she would have done anything differently than President Joe Biden, pointing out that she was involved in many of the important choices. She now admits that when she said it, she “just pulled the pin on a hand grenade,” referring to the instant reaction from her team who thought she had given the Trump campaign a foothold. Harris also states…
The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday adopted a resolution recognizing the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was assassinated while speaking at a Utah college event. The measure passed with a strong majority—310 in favor, 58 against, and others abstaining or voting “present”—but ignited sharp divisions, particularly within the Democratic caucus. Though nearly all Republican representatives supported the resolution, a notable portion of Democrats broke ranks. Ninety-five Democrats voted in favor, while 58 opposed it and 38 voted “present.” Some members of the Democratic leadership, including the party’s Minority Leader, Whip, and Caucus Chair, backed…
President Donald Trump has formally called Antifa a terrorist group, describing it as a dangerous radical movement and urging authorities to investigate those providing support or funding. The move has triggered heated debate among lawmakers, law enforcement, and civil rights advocates. Critics argue that labeling Antifa in this way risks infringing on free speech protections, since the movement is loosely organized and not a traditional group with formal leadership. Supporters of the designation contend it is necessary to address violence linked to Antifa demonstrations, while opponents warn it could set a precedent for policing political expression. The announcement has intensified…
A funding plan supported by President Trump to keep the government open failed in the Senate despite clearing the House. With the September 30 deadline approaching, the measure was struck down in a 44-48 vote, heightening fears of a shutdown. The proposal, a short-term continuing resolution, sought to extend government funding until November 21. It also included money to bolster security for Congress, executive agencies, and the federal judiciary. While the bill was expected to buy lawmakers more time to negotiate a longer agreement, Senate Democrats rejected it, pointing to the absence of Medicaid funding, Obamacare pandemic-era subsidies, and federal…
Former President Barack Obama issued a blistering response to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! by ABC following the host’s critical remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Obama called it a dangerous expansion of the very cancel culture many once warned about, accusing the current administration of using threats to pressure media outlets into silence. He warned that the First Amendment is at risk when government officials use their power to force broadcasters or commentators to retract statements or dismiss personalities. The crux of his argument: free speech must protect even controversial expression, not just comments that align with official narratives.…

President Donald Trump announced that his administration is preparing to designate Antifa as a “major terrorist organization,” escalating his long-standing criticism of the loosely organized movement. The declaration came during his state visit to the United Kingdom, where he used a social media post to denounce the group as a “sick, dangerous, radical left disaster.” He also said he would recommend federal authorities investigate the movement’s financial supporters. Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” does not operate as a single organization. Instead, it is a network of activist groups and individuals who typically organize at the local level. Members have been involved…
Portland city officials are preparing to issue a land-use violation notice to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Southwest Portland, citing repeated breaches of its detention conditions. Here are the verified facts: The ICE facility’s land-use permit, granted in 2011, prohibits holding detainees overnight or for more than 12 hours. Between October 1, 2024 and July 27, 2025, the facility allegedly violated this rule 25 times. The city also flagged boarded-up windows at the facility as a separate violation. Mayor Keith Wilson and the city permitting bureau launched an investigation in July after receiving complaints and reviewing…
Edward “Ted” Barham, a Christian minister in Dearborn, Michigan, has publicly shared that Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told him he was “not welcome here” during a recent city council session. The confrontation occurred after Barham raised objections to new signs placed along Warren Avenue honoring publisher Osama Siblani. Barham delivered a speech in which he quoted Siblani’s past remarks—statements that Barham interpreted as supportive of organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas—and argued that the signage was provocative. He said his intent was rooted in faith and a call for peace. In response, Mayor Hammoud accused Barham of being a bigot, stating that…
Prince Harry is reportedly reconsidering schooling for his children in the UK, expressing support for a more British education environment.

Sources suggest Harry has discussed this shift during a recent visit to the UK, meeting with family and speaking about sending his children to boarding school. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is said to be strongly opposed to the idea, with insiders describing her view of boarding institutions as “barbaric.” Harry’s change of heart is framed by…
Lance Twiggs, who shared a home with Tyler Robinson (accused of killing Charlie Kirk), was reportedly asked to leave his parents’ house at age 18. A relative described him as having struggled with substance abuse, video game addiction, and issues related to gender identity. After being kicked out by his father, Lance lived with his grandparents until high school graduation. He later moved into a rented townhome in St. George, Utah, paying full rent and sharing space with college roommates. Over time, the other roommates left, and Tyler Robinson became his roommate. Authorities say Lance Twiggs has not been charged…
