A Hamline University student is facing intense backlash after a viral video captured him openly celebrating the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. In the footage, the student can be heard telling others on campus that he was “glad” Kirk had been killed. Witnesses say he made the remarks while approaching a memorial table set up by students marking Kirk’s death. When confronted, he reportedly doubled down and refused to retract his comments. Hamline University quickly released a statement distancing itself from the student’s remarks and emphasized that the school does not tolerate the endorsement of violence. Administrators reaffirmed their…

Body-cam video and court filings show a man pumping his fist in apparent celebration after police discovered a loaded magazine secreted in his wet underwear. Officers initially detained Luigi Mangione during a traffic stop under suspicion of illegal firearm possession. During the search, police reported finding a fully loaded magazine concealed inside the suspect’s wet undergarments — a stash he allegedly attempted to hide. After recovering the weapon component, officers transported Mangione to court for arraignment. The surveillance footage captures him raising his fist, an action prosecutors argue reflects blatant disregard for lawful process and public safety. The event has…
A former Cinnabon employee dismissed following a controversial episode at a Wisconsin mall is defending herself against accusations of racism. The employee, identified as Crystal Wilsey, was reportedly involved in a confrontation at the Bay Park Square Mall location. Following a customer complaint and a review of security video, the store terminated her employment. Wilsey insists the actions captured in the footage have been misinterpreted and says she did not commit a racially motivated act. In a public statement, Wilsey apologized for the uproar and acknowledged the discomfort caused, but maintained she was reacting to circumstances she described as stressful…
President Donald Trump promised to safeguard the federal benefits that about 71 million Americans rely on — but recent moves at the Social Security Administration have some experts saying the commitment has not held up. Staffing cuts and delays in services are already affecting retirees, disabled individuals, and other benefit recipients. Critics point out the backlog at the agency has grown worse over the last year, making it harder for people to get vital checks, process claims, or access disability evaluations. For many elderly or low-income Americans, missing a single benefit payment can cause serious hardship. Advocates warn that continued…
Alina Habba, the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, has stepped down from her post effective immediately, the Department of Justice announced yesterday. Her departure comes while the office remains engaged in several sensitive investigations, though officials say none are directly linked to her resignation. Habba had served as acting chief since the prior attorney general left the position mid-year. Sources inside the DOJ said her exit was unexpected, and no successor has been named yet — prompting interim leadership measures as prosecutors continue to handle ongoing federal cases in the state. In a short internal statement, Habba cited personal…
The administration’s recent surge in awarding federal contracts is now under fresh scrutiny after a major bribery sting prompted lawmakers to call for a freeze on certain government procurement pipelines. Investigators linked several high-value contracts to suspected kickback schemes involving contractors and public-works officials, triggering a referral for criminal charges. In response, oversight committees have proposed pausing new awards until a full audit can verify compliance and transparency. Sources indicate internal inquiries are focusing on how contracts were bid, awarded, and monitored, with attention to whether selection criteria were compromised or manipulated in favor of certain firms. The findings could…
Authorities say two teenage boys allegedly tricked a 14-year-old girl into following them into a wooded area by claiming they had a crush on her mother — then shot and burned the child, authorities report. The victim, identified as Danika Troy, had gone missing after taking her electric scooter. Her body — shot multiple times and set on fire — was discovered along a trail near Kimberly Road. Investigators say the suspects, both former classmates of Danika, used the false promise of a meeting with her mother to lure her. According to officials, the 16-year-old boy allegedly stole a handgun…
The Department of Health and Human Services has drawn national attention after replacing the nameplate beneath the official portrait of Rachel Levine with her birth name during the federal government shutdown. The plaque, which had long displayed Levine’s legally recognized name, was reverted to “Richard Levine,” marking a significant shift in how the department acknowledges her identity. Levine, who became the first openly transgender person confirmed by the Senate, previously served as assistant secretary for health and was one of the highest-ranking transgender officials in U.S. history. The quiet alteration to her portrait occurred without a formal announcement, but internal…
A resurfaced verse often attributed to 16th-century seer Nostradamus has reignited public interest this week, with some claiming it forecasts dramatic global upheaval in 2026. The poem describes “great storms across continents,” “political upheaval in distant lands,” and warnings that “a red comet sets the world aflame” — imagery that has triggered fresh speculation on social media and among some fringe prediction circles. Historians and Nostradamus scholars, however, warn that no credible evidence links the passage to the original 1555 edition of his writings. They note that many such verses are modern fabrications or reinterpretations — and that even verified…
The Congress have launched legislation aimed at preventing the Pentagon from reducing the number of American troops stationed in Europe and South Korea — a move designed to safeguard long-standing security commitments abroad. The proposed measure would prohibit troop reductions in allied countries until lawmakers provide explicit approval. Supporters argue the bill reinforces U.S. deterrence against adversaries and ensures stability in key global regions, especially amid rising tensions with Russia and North Korea. Defense officials have warned that shifting military priorities and budget constraints make troop cuts appealing, but backers of the legislation say any decrease should not be done…
The White House has rolled out a sweeping $12 billion rescue package aimed at supporting American farmers hit by fallout from a renewed trade confrontation with China. Under the plan, subsidies and relief payments will go to growers whose exports were disrupted by Beijing’s retaliatory tariffs. Officials hope the aid will stabilize farm income and cushion the blow for industries like grains, soybeans and livestock — sectors that rely heavily on foreign demand. While the rescue package is intended to shore up agriculture amid global trade tensions, some farm-state lawmakers warn the measure may not fully compensate for long-term export…
California Governor Gavin Newsom found himself the target of widespread mockery following publication of photos showing him seated in a posture critics deemed awkward and uncomfortable — dubbed online as the “testicle-crushing” pose. The images, captured during a high-profile public appearance, drew swift reaction on social media as users reacted to both the unusual seating posture and the governor’s apparently relaxed demeanor. The photos quickly went viral, sparking a flood of memes and humorous commentary. Some political commentators argued the viral moment could distract from the event’s purpose, while supporters downplayed the fuss as a trivial distraction from policy matters.…

Her critics contend that her combative…
