UPDATE—First exclusive interview with the woman whose family dog was shot & killed by the LAPD. "He’s my baby," nurse Marie Marseille said through tears. "It doesn’t make any sense to me. I can’t make sense of anything." By — Gina Silva @ FOX 11 Los Angeles

Police shoot & kill family dog—still wearing his custom Knicks jersey. His mother & him were just celebrating the basketball win—neighbors called 911 to report a "domestic disturbance." "He wasn’t baring his teeth, wasn’t growling, wasn’t aggressive—he wasn’t even barking," she said. "The next thing I know, Jamison is lying on the ground... He’s my baby!" Marie Marseille is a nurse originally from New York—her Golden Saint Berdoodle is named Jamison. LAPD released an official statement saying the shooting "remains under investigation." Incident occurred at the Jordan Condominiums in the Canoga Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

Social Security funds are expected to be cut by 22% for EVERY retiree by 2032. The government’s own social security trustees blamed Trump’s tax cuts & immigration policies. But hey, at least the billionaires can hoard a little more.

Pizza Hut is being sold to private equity. Fast food giant Yum! Brands is selling the pizza chain, and all of the locations outside of China will be bought by private equity firm LongRange Capital for $1.5 billion. China locations are being sold to Yum China for $1.2 billion.

In a disastrous ruling, the Court of Appeal in London has overruled the High Court and upheld the government's decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Defining a protest group as terrorists has created an absurd situation where thousands of people have been arrested for holding up signs. Learn more:

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are burning down the villages of Deir Dibwan and Burqa in the West Bank. They set a mosque on fire, torched several vehicles, and poured gasoline on an elderly man in an attempt to burn him alive.

Palestinian prisoner Ayman al-Fakhouri has been released from Israeli prison today after 26 months behind bars without charge or trial, Quds News reported, sharing before-and-after images showing his severe physical deterioration in detention. Israel’s widespread use of administrative detention allows Palestinians to be held indefinitely on secret evidence for renewable periods, without being told the accusations against them or facing trial. Palestinian and Israeli human rights groups, along with released detainees, have documented systematic torture, rape, starvation, beatings, and medical neglect across Israeli prisons since October 2023, conditions that have left many prisoners emaciated and that have killed scores in custody. Al-Fakhouri’s gaunt appearance on release echoes that of other freed detainees, including journalist Ali al-Samoudi, who reportedly lost some 60 kilograms during his imprisonment.

Trump criticizes Israel's methods in Lebanon: You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you are looking for somebody. There are a lot of people in those houses, and they are not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you.

🚨 DHS conducted raids this morning in Minneapolis, targeting rapid responders. In a few hours, they will announce conspiracy charges against popular defenders who allegedly resisted federal occupation of the city, describing them as “antifa” groups. Another NSPM-7 case.

FOX: I'm here at the newly renovated reflecting pool. It's painted American flag blue. The Democrats will tell you there's green algae. There's pool guys cleaning it up. No other president would do that.

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News. This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all. If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

שופטת העליון, גילה כנפי-שטייניץ, דחתה את הערעור על המשך מעצרו של ד"ר חוסאם אבו ספיה. הוא נותר בתנאי בידוד (שאליהם הוא הועבר אחרי הגשת הערעור!) בכלא נפחא.
