A Texas court has mandated conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to surrender the assets of his media company, Infowars, to a court-appointed receiver for liquidation. The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay over $1 billion in damages owed to the families of victims from the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The ruling authorizes the receiver to take control of Infowars’ physical property, broadcasting equipment, and brand rights, potentially barring Jones from accessing his studio in the near future. This legal step aims to enforce financial judgments secured by the Sandy Hook families through defamation lawsuits filed after…
President Donald Trump has significantly escalated his campaign against crime in Democratic-run urban centers after assuming direct control over Washington, D.C.’s police force. The unprecedented federal intervention, which includes deploying National Guard troops and federal agents, marks a broad effort to assert authority over so-called “blue cities” accused by Trump of mishandling public safety. Despite statistics showing a 4% decline in property crime and an overall 35% reduction in violent crime in D.C. since 2023, Trump has framed the city’s crime situation as out of control, citing a homicide rate that ranks among the highest in major U.S. cities. His…

While other Democratic leaders have vocally criticized the move, Bowser’s more measured and subdued responses have drawn attention amid escalating tensions. Trump’s executive order placed the police department under federal control and deployed nearly 850 federal agents and National Guard troops throughout D.C. as part of an aggressive campaign to combat crime.

The Trump administration has implemented a controversial measure targeting over 6,000 immigrants by placing their names on the Social Security Administration’s “death master file,” a database traditionally used to track deceased individuals. This action effectively disables these immigrants’ Social Security numbers, cutting off their ability to work legally, access government benefits, and use financial services. The move aims to pressure immigrants, many of whom had temporary legal status under prior programs, into self-deportation by denying them financial and social resources. According to officials, most of those flagged are individuals whose legal status was revoked due to criminal convictions or expiration…
