Trump lashes out after illegal immigrant shoots off-duty officer in NY
Trump alleged that the shooter was apprehended earlier in April 2023 but was released instead of being deported.
"Last night, in New York City, an incredible CBP Officer was shot in the face by an Illegal Alien Monster freed into the Country under Joe Biden. He was apprehended at the Border in April 2023 but, instead of being deported, was RELEASED. The CBP Officer bravely fought off his attacker, despite his wounds, demonstrating enormous Skill and Courage. The Democrats have flooded our Nation with Criminal Invaders, and now, they must all be thrown out or, in some cases, immediately prosecuted in that we cannot take a chance that they are able to come back. That's how evil and dangerous they are!" Trump said.
According to the New York Post, it reported that the officer shot the person and wounded him.
The suspect has been identified as Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a 21-year-old Dominican national with a lengthy rap sheet in New York, according to sources, but he was let go each time he was busted, despite having a deportation order.
Nunez entered the US illegally via the southern border under US President Joe Biden's administration, the Department of Homeland Security said on Sunday, as per the New York Post.
The 42-year-old federal agent and a female companion were sitting on a rock along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park in Manhattan when they were ambushed by the two men on a moped around 11:50 pm, according to police sources.
After a brief exchange and tussle, one of the moped-riding men fired a gun hit the victim in the face and left forearm, as per the New York Post.
Mayor Eric Adams addressed the mounting criticism during a visit to the wounded victim officer in Harlem Hospital on Sunday.
"Our goal is to get dangerous people off the streets. And we have done that with our federal partners. You know of the number of dangerous gang take downs we've participated in. Whatever we need to do in our federal laws to ensure that dangerous people are not on our streets, federal authorities need to do that," the Mayor said, as per The New York Post.

Trump unveils AI action plan aiming for ‘global dominance'
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday introduced a far-reaching AI Action Plan, vowing to ensure the 'global dominance' of the United States. The plan involves slashing environmental regulations, expanding US AI exports, and taking aim at perceived political bias in tech platforms. 'America is the country that started the AI race. And as President of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it,' Trump said in a speech in Washington, as per Reuters. The announcement was made at an event co-hosted by the bipartisan Hill and Valley Forum and the popular tech-focused 'All-In' podcast, featuring Trump's newly appointed AI and crypto czar David Sacks, a former PayPal executive and prominent Silicon Valley investor. According to AP and Reuters reporting, Trump signed three executive orders to enact parts of the 90-point AI plan, which: 'Every company will be given the right to build their own power plant,' Trump said as per AP, promising that AI-related power demands will be met with energy sourced from coal, gas, and nuclear options. 'We will be adding at least as much electric capacity as China.' The plan reflects long-standing priorities of tech industry lobbyists and venture capitalists who supported Trump's 2024 campaign, particularly those concerned with regulatory obstacles and 'woke AI.' Trump had previously given his tech advisers six months to replace the Biden administration's approach to AI governance. David Sacks, speaking on the 'All-In' podcast, said the plan aims to promote 'American values' in AI systems and resist the cultural and political influences critics claim dominate existing platforms. 'Technology is going to happen. Trying to stop it is like ordering the tides to stop. If we don't do it, somebody else will,' said Sacks. But the blueprint drew immediate criticism from more than 100 public interest groups. JB Branch, an advocate at Public Citizen, called it a 'sellout.' The Departments of Commerce and State will work with the private sector to export 'full-stack AI packages' — including hardware, software, and US standards, to allied nations. This marks a major shift from Biden's restrictive policy on AI chip exports, especially to countries like the United Arab Emirates, which has recently regained access under Trump. Vice President JD Vance defended the administration's move. 'If we're regulating ourselves to death and allowing the Chinese to catch up to us, that's not something … we should blame the Chinese for… that is something we should blame our own leaders for, for having stupid policies that allow other countries to catch up with America,' Vance said, as per Reuters. While the new plan opens up international AI commerce, national security safeguards remain in place. A proposal introduced in Wednesday's recommendations would require location verification for advanced AI chips, a feature aimed at preventing diversion to countries like China. A central piece of the plan is expediting construction of AI data centers and the power infrastructure they require. The administration will seek exemptions under the National Environmental Policy Act and fast-track permits under the Clean Water Act. Trump is expected to announce additional actions in the coming weeks aimed at securing long-term access to electricity for data center development. 'We need one common sense federal standard that supersedes all states, supersedes everybody,' Trump said, as per AP. 'So you don't end up in litigation with 43 states at one time.'

The Lok Sabha was forced to adjourn until 2 PM following continued demonstrations by Opposition members. Thursday's proceedings mirrored the pattern established during the first three days of the session, with lawmakers also seeking debates on the terrorist incident in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor. However, progress appears imminent on the latter issue, as sources indicate the Rajya Sabha's Business Advisory Committee has approved a 16-hour discussion on Operation Sindoor for next week, aligning with the Lok Sabha's decision.

Despite the chaos, the Lok Sabha agenda includes several significant bills for Thursday's consideration. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal is scheduled to present The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2024, alongside the Merchant Shipping Bill.

Tulsi Gabbard alleges Obama 'manufactured' intel on Russian plot in 2016 polls, but critics question her report
US Director National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claims that former US President Barack Obama and his team manufactured intelligence on Russian interference in 2016 polls. However, critics are questioning her assertion. read more Tulsi Gabbard in the past has been a staunch opponent of US interventionism in West Asia. Reuters On Wednesday, the US Department of Justice announced the formation of a task force to look into unsubstantiated allegations by US President Donald Trump against former US President Barack Obama. The announcement came hours after the US Director of National Intelligence questioned Obama and his aides for ordering an investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign and its connection to Russia. A day after Trump accused Obama of treason over the intelligence assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to support Trump, Gabbard declassified a highly sensitive congressional report she claimed was more evidence of a 'treasonous conspiracy.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The release of the redacted report, which was written during the first Trump term by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, was seen as the Trump administration's bid to attack the FBI's Russia investigation and the intelligence community's assessment on Russian election interference. While speaking from the White House podium on Wednesday, Gabbard fell short of accusing Obama of treason, but she alleged that 'the evidence that we have found and that we have released directly points to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.' 'They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true,' she said. Gabbard insisted that the Russian goal in 2016 was to sow distrust in American democracy and not to help Trump. Unsubstantiated claims While Gabbard's proclamation stirred a storm, her claims that the Obama administration 'manufactured' the assessment are not supported by the newly redacted House report — or CIA Director John Ratcliffe's review of the intelligence assessment, which he re-released earlier this month. In his review, Ratcliffe argued the assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin 'aspired' to help Trump win the 2016 election was 'defensible'. Meanwhile, the House report, Gabbard's assertion is based on, argued that the assessment of Russia supporting Trump made analytical leaps based on relatively thin sourcing and failed to weigh contradictory intelligence highly enough. However, it still fell short of calling the intelligence 'manufactured'. Obama hits back Meanwhile, Obama's office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had '[tried] to lead a coup' against him and was guilty of 'treason'. 'Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,' the statement from Obama's office said. 'But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," it furthered. The statement went on to criticise claims made in an 11-page document released last week by Gabbard. 'Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,' it said. 'These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio," Obama's team averred. With Trump navigating through the Epstein scandal, many claim that the push against Obama is a diversion tactic deployed by the Trump administration to sideline the Epstein Files.
