12.06.2025 โ‡ข The Day a Senator Was Handcuffed
โŒจAn Air India Boeing 787 crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad bound for London, killing at least 242 people with one British passenger reportedly surviving. Media coverage linked the disaster to Boeing's recent plea deal with Trump's DOJ to avoid criminal prosecution.

Los Angeles immigration protests reached their seventh day under curfew as courts prepared to test California's legal challenge to military deployment. The confrontation escalated dramatically when Democratic Senator Alex Padilla interrupted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference and was forcibly removed and handcuffed by federal security. Fellow Democrats condemned what they called an "assault" on a sitting senator.

The Middle East crisis intensified as the IAEA formally declared Iran in breach of nuclear obligations while Israel considered military action within days. Trump signed legislation eliminating California's electric vehicle mandate and warned an Israeli strike on Iran "could happen." The House approved $9.4 billion in DOGE cuts to foreign aid and public media.
