Arson Attack at Governor Shapiro’s Home Forces Middle-of-Night Family Evacuation

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating an arson attack that caused significant damage to Governor Josh Shapiro's official residence in Harrisburg. In a social media statement, Shapiro recounted that his family was awakened at 2 a.m. Sunday by state police banging on their door. He and his wife, Lori, expressed profound gratitude to the authorities who helped evacuate the family. "Thank God no one was injured and the fire was extinguished," Shapiro wrote. "Every day, we stand with the law enforcement and first responders who run towards danger to protect our communities." Photos from the scene showed smoke billowing from one of the residence's windows, with the exterior trim blackened by soot. A glimpse through the window revealed substantial interior damage, including what appeared to be a completely charred piece of furniture. The Shapiros have four children: Sophia and Jonah, who […]

Phone and Computer Prices Dodge Trump’s Mega-Tariffs

The U.S. administration has announced key exemptions to its recent tariff policies, specifically excluding smartphones, computers, and electronic components from the 125% China-specific tariff and the 10% global tariff affecting most other nations. The exemptions, detailed in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection release, cover a range of electronic products including laptops, hard drives, computer processors, and memory chips. This decision acknowledges the current reality that these items are primarily manufactured outside the United States, with domestic production capabilities potentially requiring years to develop. The exemption mainly benefits Apple's operations, as the company primarily manufactures its phones in China through orders from its Cork, Ireland facility. There had been concerns that supply chain disruptions could impact the profitability of Apple's Irish operations and subsequent corporate tax payments in Ireland. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment also received exemption status, a significant development for […]

Arena Bomber’s Brother Launches Brutal Attack on Prison Officers

Three prison officers at HMP Frankland in County Durham suffered severe injuries after an attack by Hashem Abedi, who is serving time for his role in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. The incident occurred Saturday in a high-security separation center housing fewer than 10 of Britain's most dangerous extremist prisoners. The Prison Officers' Association reported that Abedi used hot cooking oil and improvised weapons to inflict burns, scalds, and stab wounds on the officers. As of 4:00 PM Saturday, one female officer had been discharged from the hospital, while two others remained hospitalized with serious injuries. A prison officer at the facility described the staff as "shaken," questioning their career choice following such incidents. Abedi, 28, was previously convicted in 2022 for another assault on prison officers, in addition to his 2020 conviction for 22 counts of murder, attempted murder, […]

Auto Tariffs Will Cost Industry 100 Billion Dollars and Cut Sales by Millions

New vehicle tariffs are reshaping the automotive landscape, with industry analysts forecasting significant impacts on both manufacturers and consumers. The 25% tariff on imported vehicles and upcoming similar levies on auto parts are expected to create ripple effects throughout the sector. Financial experts project the policy changes could add between $110 and $160 billion in annual costs industry-wide. For U.S. automakers alone, expenses could rise by $107.7 billion, with Detroit's Big Three facing $41.9 billion in additional costs. These increased expenses are likely to affect consumer prices, with analysts predicting average vehicle cost increases of $2,000-$4,000 over the next year. Imported vehicles could see price hikes up to $6,000, while U.S.-assembled vehicles may increase by $3,600 due to parts tariffs. Manufacturers are responding differently: domestic producers are offering temporary employee pricing deals, while some international brands have suspended U.S. shipments. […]

Trump Regime Now Hunting International Students For Their Political Views

Trump Regime Now Hunting International Students For Their Political Views

The precarity facing international students in the United States has reached unprecedented levels under Trump's second administration. As an international student arriving in America in 2003 during the "war on terror," I experienced firsthand how someone who "looked like me" faced persistent outsider status amid campus jingoism, airport security checks, and widespread racism. However, today's environment has become dramatically more hostile. Trump's targeting of international students for pro-Palestine activism has materialized exactly as he promised during his campaign. He pledged to revoke visas of "radical, anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners" participating in campus protests, a promise he's actively implementing since returning to office. Several high-profile cases illustrate this crackdown. Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder who participated in campus protests, was detained by ICE in March and has been held in Louisiana for over a month. Turkish PhD student […]

ECJ Advisor: Ireland Must Accommodate All Asylum Seekers Despite Housing Crisis

An advisor to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has issued a legal opinion stating that Ireland cannot use housing shortages as a justification for failing to accommodate single male asylum seekers. The opinion, published Thursday by the Luxembourg-based court, indicates that Ireland "cannot use force majeure to justify failure to provide basic needs for international protection applicants." It further states that even during "a large influx of people" applying for asylum, "member states cannot invoke force majeure to avoid responsibility for providing adequate reception conditions or compensating for harm caused." This development challenges a key argument used by the Irish government in an ongoing legal dispute. The Department of Children is currently appealing a High Court ruling from August that found the state in breach of fundamental rights by failing to provide accommodation to single male asylum seekers. The […]

Woman Freed in US-Russia Prisoner Exchange After Jailing Over Small Ukraine Donation

A Russian-American citizen has been released in a prisoner swap between Moscow and Washington after spending more than a year in a Russian prison. Ksenia Karelina, an amateur ballerina and Los Angeles resident, was arrested in early 2024 while visiting family in Yekaterinburg. Russia's FSB security service accused her of fundraising for a Ukrainian organization that allegedly provided arms to the Ukrainian military. She pleaded guilty last August and received a 12-year prison sentence. According to Russian human rights activists, Karelina had made a single $51 (ยฃ39) donation to a Ukrainian charity on February 22, 2022โ€”the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The charity in question has denied raising money for weapons or ammunition, stating that its focus is humanitarian aid and disaster relief. The FSB reportedly discovered the transaction on Karelina's phone. In exchange for her release, […]

US Blocks All South Sudan Visas After Deportation Fight Erupts Between Nations

South Sudan has reversed its position in a diplomatic standoff with the United States, announcing it will allow entry to a deported man following the US decision to revoke visas for all South Sudanese citizens. The dispute began when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that the US would revoke all South Sudanese visas, citing the country's refusal to accept the return of its citizens being removed from the US. South Sudan initially claimed the case involved someone incorrectly identified as South Sudanese who was subsequently sent back to the US. However, the government now says it will permit the man to enter the country "in the spirit of the friendly relations," despite maintaining he is from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Officials stated he could arrive in Juba as early as Wednesday. "As a result of this […]
