London’s Mayor Khan Escalates Feud With ‘Racist, Sexist, Islamophobic’ Trump.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked President Donald J. Trump after the America First leader labeled him a “terrible mayor” during a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Sadiq Khan, Donald Trump, and various British and American officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump made his UN speech on Tuesday, and Khan’s response followed on Wednesday in London.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I think Donald Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he’s Islamophobic,” said Khan.

🎯IMPACT: The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. President and the London mayor, with Khan accusing Trump of targeting him due to his religion.

IN FULL

London’s divisive mayor, Sadiq Khan, has again attacked President Donald J. Trump, branding him “racist, sexist, and Islamophobic.” This follows the President’s remarks during an address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this week, where he said, “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.”

Khan, a Pakistani-heritage Muslim and member of Britain’s far-left governing Labour Party, responded, “I think Donald Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he’s Islamophobic.” He argued that Trump is “clearly uncomfortable with a liberal, multicultural, progressive city having a Muslim mayor.”

Trump has frequently criticized Khan’s leadership and called him “a nasty person.” Khan has also accused Trump of racism and Islamophobia before, complaining last year that Trump only criticizes him because of his ethnic and religious background. Their feud dates back to Trump’s first presidential run and term in office, with Khan attacking the America First leader’s so-called “Muslim ban” restricting travel to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries with a large jihadist presence, and Trump calling Khan a “stone-cold loser” in return.

While Khan emphasizes London’s diversity as a strength, a recent report suggests that nearly half of all public housing in the capital is occupied by foreign heads of household. A Bangladeshi official also boasted recently that much of the city, which is only around a third ‘White British,’ according to Britain’s 2021 Census, “feels like Bangladesh.”

Another report from earlier this year revealed that as many as one in every twelve Londoners is an illegal immigrant, meaning in real terms that as many as 586,000 illegals may be residing in the British capital.

GOP Proposes Bill to Feature Charlie Kirk on Silver Dollar.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Two House Republicans plan to introduce a bill to mint a commemorative coin honoring Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Representatives August Pfluger (R-TX) and Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The bill is expected to be introduced later this week, following Kirk’s assassination at a Utah Valley University campus event earlier in September.

💬KEY QUOTE: “His life must be commemorated, and this coin will allow us to pass a reminder of his remarkable life on to generations to come.” – Rep Abe Hamadeh

🎯IMPACT: If passed, Kirk would become the youngest American to appear on U.S. currency, cementing his legacy.

IN FULL

House Republicans August Pfluger (R-TX) and Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) are introducing legislation to honor assassinated Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk with a commemorative silver dollar coin. The bill would authorize the U.S. Treasury to mint 400,000 silver dollars featuring Kirk’s image on one side and the words “Well done, good and faithful servant” on the other. The Treasury Secretary would determine the final design in consultation with President Donald J. Trump.

“Since 1892, Congress has authorized commemorative coins to celebrate and honor historic American patriots,” Hamadeh said. Calling Kirk an “American treasure,” he said Kirk “tirelessly sacrificed his time, energy, and money to save this nation for future generations.” Hamadeh added, “Ultimately, at the hands of a radical leftist, he sacrificed his life. His life must be commemorated, and this coin will allow us to pass a reminder of his remarkable life on to generations to come.”

If passed, the bill would make Kirk, who was 31 when he was assassinated, the youngest person ever featured on U.S. currency. Federal law prohibits living people from being depicted on American coins or bills, limiting the honor to those who have passed.

Pfluger said the coin would serve as a “fitting honor that cements his extraordinary legacy alongside presidents and founding fathers who shaped our republic.” He added, “Charlie Kirk was a conservative titan whose transformational impact on millions of Americans deserves permanent recognition alongside our nation’s greatest leaders and influential figures.”

Kirk’s death has sparked several tributes, with Sinclair Broadcasting Group announcing it would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliates to air a televised tribute to Kirk after criticizing Kimmel for “deeply insensitive” remarks about the assassination.

Turning Point USA has also vowed to continue its “American Comeback Tour” in Kirk’s honor. At upcoming events, an empty chair will be left on stage in his memory, and his widow, Erika Kirk, has been named Chairwoman and CEO of the organization.

ICE Director Reports 1,000% Increase in Assaults on Agents Following Sniper Attack.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons reported a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers following a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, CNN’s John Berman, and authorities investigating the Dallas shooting.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting occurred on the morning of September 24 at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’ve never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we’re up over 1,000 percent assaults on officers right now.” – Todd Lyons

🎯IMPACT: The sniper attack highlights the growing threats against ICE officers, fueled by Democrat rhetoric.

IN FULL

On September 23, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons discussed the deadly shooting at a Dallas ICE facility that left two dead earlier in the day, saying it comes amid a huge spike in anti-ICE attacks.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my law enforcement career. I’ve never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we’re up over 1,000 percent assaults on officers right now,” Lyons told CNN. He attributed the violence to escalating anti-law enforcement rhetoric, noting, “It just keeps getting worse and worse, and it has to stop.”

In August, the same facility faced a bomb threat, leading to an arrest. On July 4, an ambush at the Prairieland ICE facility near Dallas saw attackers in tactical gear use fireworks to lure officers into the open before opening fire on them in a premeditated assault. The ambush saw ten people charged with attempted murder after firing 20–30 rounds at officers, wounding at least one.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has revealed that ammunition found near the shooter was scrawled with the words “Anti-ICE,” suggesting an ideological motive.

The Trump administration complains that Democrat officials, especially high-profile figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are normalizing violence towards immigration enforcement agents. Vice President J.D. Vance noted in a speech after the Dallas shooting that Newsom recently described ICE as “part of an authoritarian government,” adding: “You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to Hell, and you have no place in the political conversation.”

Walz, Kamala Harris’s failed 2024 running mate, has gone so far as to smear ICE as “Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo… scooping folks up off the streets,” in reference to Adolf Hitler’s Secret State Police, responsible for rounding up Jews, dissidents, and other perceived enemies of the state.

WATCH: Vance Addresses Anti-ICE Shooting, Murders of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a speech emphasizing law and order in Concord, North Carolina, on Wednesday, following a sniper attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas. His remarks also addressed the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in the state, and the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Vice President J.D. Vance, law enforcement officers, Charlie Kirk, and Iryna Zarutska.

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 24, 2025, in Concord, North Carolina.

💬KEY QUOTE: “So here’s my sacred obligation to you… Over the next couple of years, the Trump Administration is going to do everything that we can to dismantle the networks, to destroy the funding, and to make it harder for people to kill one another just because they disagree with what somebody says.” – J.D. Vance

🎯IMPACT: The speech highlighted ongoing issues of crime, the role of police, and the impact of soft-on-crime policies.

IN FULL

Vice President J.D. Vance addressed a crowd in Concord, North Carolina, on the theme of law and order on Wednesday, following a sniper attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas. Joined by officers from various police departments, he also addressed the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zaratuska in North Carolina, and the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk in Utah.

During his speech, Vance called for a return to respecting law enforcement, stating, “We all remember the summer of 2020 when all of these violent protesters were encouraged to treat police as the enemy… Can we all just agree that our police officers are heroes?”

On the deadly sniper attack in Dallas, which he described as “politically motivated” based on the gunman scrawling ‘Anti-ICE’ on some of his rounds, Vance blasted Democrats such as California Governor Gavin Newsom for demonizing ICE agents as “part of an authoritarian government” and the corporate media for lying about their work.

“[W]hat they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence,” Vance said, adding: “You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political conversation.”

The Vice President also paid tribute to his friend Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder who was assassinated during a public debate event at Utah Valley University recently, apparently by a far-left gunman, saying, “His loss was the nation’s loss.”

He also addressed the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, not far from Concord, saying, “She came from a war-torn country. She sought shelter in the United States of America, and because of soft-on-crime polices, she was murdered here… isn’t that a disgrace?”

Vance is one of many America First leaders who believe the activities of nonprofits funding far-left activism are responsible for much violence against conservatives and law enforcement, and he pledged strong action against them, saying, “[H]ere’s my sacred obligation to you… Over the next couple of years, the Trump Administration is going to do everything that we can to dismantle the networks, to destroy the funding, and to make it harder for people to kill one another just because they disagree with what somebody says.”

Hillary Admits Bannon Outmaneuvered Democrats Online.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Hillary Clinton expressed concerns over Democrats falling behind conservatives in digital communication strategies, particularly in social media and podcasting.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hillary Clinton, Stephen K. Bannon, and the Democratic and Republican Parties.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Clinton made these remarks during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Right now, most people get their news from social media. So if they’re getting their news from, you know, 15-second videos, three-second takes, three-hour podcasts where people are just kind of unplugged and saying whatever, then Democrats had better compete in those arenas.” – Hillary Clinton

🎯IMPACT: Clinton’s remarks highlight the challenges Democrats face in reaching younger voters and competing in modern digital platforms against conservatives.

IN FULL

Hillary Clinton is warning that Democrats are lagging behind conservatives in the digital space, particularly in the realms of social media and podcasting, which she says are shaping political engagement among younger voters. Speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the former First Lady and Secretary of State said her party has “stopped being effective communicators in modern communications” and credited former Trump White House Chief Strategist and WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon with recognizing early on how to engage young men online through “unplugged” podcasts.

“The Republican Party, I have to say, has done a much better job dominating social media, dominating the podcast ecosystem, getting messages out and aiming, particularly at young men,” Clinton remarked, adding that Democrats are still trying to “catch up.” She went on to note that Bannon, specifically, recognized that “young men who were into gaming” and “on the Internet a lot” could be “persuaded to be political supporters of the Republican Party, if the Republican Party actually engaged and talked to them in the right way.”

Clinton emphasized the importance of competing in online “arenas,” noting that most people now get their news from social media and short-form content. “Right now, most people get their news from social media. So if they’re getting their news from, you know, 15-second videos, three-second takes, three-hour podcasts where people are just kind of unplugged and saying whatever, then Democrats had better compete in those arenas,” she stated.

She also warned that the audience watching MSNBC live represents only a “small portion” of voters, underscoring the need for her party to expand its reach.

Is the AI Industry an Economy-Wrecking Bubble? This Tech Exec Thinks So.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Former Facebook executive Julie Zhuo criticized the lack of data-driven decision-making among artificial intelligence (AI) startups, highlighting concerns over their explosive growth and sustainability. Her concerns echo market analysts who warn that the AI industry could be forming an economic bubble.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Julie Zhuo, former Facebook vice president of design and technology investor, and podcast host Lenny Rachitsky.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Remarks made during a recent podcast interview.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I don’t think a lot of the fast-growing companies are using data well at this point… things just don’t grow that fast.” – Julie Zhuo

🎯IMPACT: Concerns grow over the sustainability of AI startups, with warnings about potential failures if venture capital dries up.

IN FULL

Former Facebook executive Julie Zhou is warning that much of the artificial intelligence (AI) technology industry’s growth is not being driven by robust data-driven business strategies, but rather by “good instincts and good vibes.” Speaking with technology industry podcaster Lenny Rachitsky, Zhou argued that while the AI industry has tremendous promise, the technology is still far from achieving what many adherents claim. This has left the AI technology sector rife with speculative investment on a scale that could potentially threaten the U.S. economy should the bubble burst.

“I don’t think a lot of the fast-growing companies are using data well at this point. And, the main reason why is because, traditionally, things just don’t grow that fast,” Zhou contended. The former vice president of product design at Facebook turned tech industry investor continued: “Today we see companies that are growing insane, and they’re still about ten people, or two people, or however many people, but they’ve got hundreds of millions [in revenue], and hundreds of millions of users, and they don’t actually have all of that infrastructure… to be able to do that data analysis.”

“In my mind, [data] helps us reflect back on what is reality… what always happens is eventually, things stop growing. Growth does not happen forever. And usually when growth stops, everyone has this question like, ‘what’s going on, what happened?'” Zhou warned, echoing similar caution from economic analysts who observe that some AI companies are already seeing slowing growth. Notably, many of these companies are backed by hundreds of millions of dollars of venture capital and banking industry investment, potentially leaving investors overleveraged on an AI industry bubble.

Over 33 US-based AI startups raised $100 million or more in 2025 alone, though none have yet to turn a profit or demonstrate market viability. Many of these start-ups, along with more established companies, are reliant on technology from industry leaders like Nvidia—with the former making up nearly 10 percent of the S&P 500. Should a possible AI bubble burst, the impact could have serious consequences for U.S. markets.

FACT CHECK: Tylenol Told Users in 2017 to Avoid ALL THEIR PRODUCTS While Pregnant.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Social media posts by a now-defunct X (formerly Twitter) account belonging to Tylenol appear to support President Donald J. Trump’s Monday announcement regarding concerns over the use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, during pregnancy.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tylenol, President Donald J. Trump, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The social media posts by Tylenol spread widely on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant.” — Tylenol

🎯IMPACT: The posts support President Trump’s directive to issue new guidance discouraging Tylenol use during pregnancy due to a possible autism link.

IN FULL

Social media posts by a now-defunct X (formerly Twitter) account belonging to Tylenol support President Donald J. Trump‘s Monday recommendation against using acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol (paracetamol), during pregnancy, due to a potential link to autism.

“We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today,” the Tylenol account—owned by pharma giant Johnson & Johnson at the time—posted on March 7, 2017.


Tylenol also wrote, “Congrats on your upcoming addition! SO exciting! It’d be great to touch base real quick since we haven’t tested Tylenol to be used during pregnancy,” on June 17, 2019, in response to a now-deleted post.


During a press conference on Monday, President Trump stated that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would issue updated guidance to physicians, recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. The FDA is also expected to update acetaminophen labeling to reflect these concerns.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supported the new guidance and said doctors should only prescribe Tylenol to pregnant women when absolutely necessary.

‘Anti-ICE’ Messages Found After Deadly Sniper Attack, Sources Name Suspect as Joshua Jahn.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: “Anti-ICE messages” were found on rounds near a suspected shooter in a sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the suspected shooter, and four people who were shot, including the sniper, named by sources as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. Two of his victims are confirmed to have died.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack targeted an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature.” – FBI field office head Joseph Rothrock

🎯IMPACT: The shooting highlights ongoing violence against ICE, encouraged by the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrat politicians.

IN FULL

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed the discovery of “anti-ICE” messages on rounds found “near the suspected shooter” in a deadly sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday morning. Four people were shot during the attack, including the sniper, who suffered a “self-inflicted” gunshot. Sources have named him as Joshua Jahn, 29.

FBI Director Kash Patel shared a photograph of the rounds on social media, stating, “While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an [ideological] motive behind this attack.” He added: “One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ … These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.”

Speaking at a press conference in Dallas, FBI field office head Joseph Rothrock also confirmed that “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” stressing: “[T]his is just the most recent example of this type of attack.”

A radical leftist previously carried out a sniper attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas, in July, with a responding local police officer being shot in the neck. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that attacks on ICE officers generally are up by over 1,000 percent.

Immediately following the Dallas shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has said the Dallas shooting “will NOT slow our arrest, detention, & deportation of illegal immigrants.”

Trump Slams ABC for Lifting Kimmel’s Suspension: ‘A True Bunch of Losers.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J.Trump criticized ABC for reinstating Jimmy Kimmel after his suspension for making false statements about Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s assassin, and suggested potential legal action against the network.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and Charlie Kirk.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Kimmel returned to TV on Tuesday, following a suspension over false statements about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

🎯IMPACT: Sinclair and Nexstar, owning 80 ABC affiliates, have refused to air new episodes of Kimmel’s show, demanding Kimmel issue an apology and a financial donation to Kirk’s family.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has criticized ABC for reinstating Jimmy Kimmel after his suspension, and floated the possibility of pursuing legal action against the network. Kimmel had been suspended for nearly a week following false statements he made about the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.

In a Truth Social post, Trump expressed disbelief over ABC’s decision to bring Kimmel back on air. “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there,” Trump wrote. “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.”

Trump also claimed Kimmel’s actions could be considered an “illegal campaign contribution” due to his partisan bias. “He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings,” Trump added.

Kimmel had previously claimed that Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, was part of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. However, prosecutors have confirmed that Robinson was motivated by leftist political ideology and hate for Kirk’s conservative views. In his return to television, Kimmel addressed the controversy in a tearful non-apology, claiming, “It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man… nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for what was the actions… of an obviously deeply disturbed individual.”

Despite his reinstatement, major broadcast groups Sinclair and Nexstar, which own approximately 80 ABC affiliates, have refused to air new episodes of Kimmel’s show. Sinclair has also demanded that Kimmel apologize and make a financial donation to Charlie Kirk’s family.

‘Iryna’s Law’ Passed to End Cashless Bail, Restart Executions After Ukrainian Refugee’s Brutal Murder.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The North Carolina legislature approved a criminal justice reform bill, “Iryna’s Law,” aimed at limiting bail and restarting executions in the state.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The bill was passed by the Republican-led legislature, but awaits action from Democrat Governor Josh Stein. It was named after Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee fatally stabbed by Decarlos Brown Jr. while riding a train in Charlotte.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The legislation was approved on September 24, 2025, following the August 22 attack in Charlotte, North Carolina.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This heinous act was preventable,” said Rep. Tricia Cotham, a Republican from the Charlotte area, during House debate.

🎯IMPACT: The bill could restart executions in the state and end cashless bail for certain crimes.

IN FULL

North Carolina’s legislature has approved a criminal justice reform bill called “Iryna’s Law,” named in memory of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee killed on August 22 while riding a Charlotte light rail train. The bill, which tightens bail rules and could restart executions in the Tar Heel State, awaits Democrat Governor Josh Stein’s decision to sign or veto it.

Decarlos Brown Jr., the suspect in Zarutska’s death, had over a dozen prior arrests but was released without bond on a misdemeanor charge earlier this year. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, according to his mother, Brown now faces first-degree murder and federal charges, both potentially carrying the death penalty. Surveillance video captured the black male attacking Zarutska with a knife shortly after she boarded the train and subsequently boasting, “I got that white girl.”

Republican Rep. Tricia Cotham, during the debate, criticized lax bail practices, saying, “This heinous act was preventable.” House Speaker Destin Hall echoed Cotham, saying, “When we have magistrates who are asleep at the wheel, like this one that obviously was, then we gotta make a change.” The bill aims to eliminate cashless bail for many offenses and limit judicial discretion in pretrial releases.

The legislation also seeks to resume executions in North Carolina, paused since 2006. Senate leader Phil Berger introduced an amendment to explore alternative execution methods, like firing squads or electrocution, if lethal injection is unavailable. Berger stated, “For nearly two decades, judicial and administrative roadblocks have stopped true justice for victims, and it’s time for that to end.”

Suspect Arrested After Multinational Airports Cyberattack.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A man in his forties was arrested in southern England for an alleged cyberattack that disrupted several European airports, including London Heathrow.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The suspect, Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA), Collins Aerospace, and European airports, including Berlin, Brussels, and London Heathrow.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Starting late on the evening of September 19 through the weekend, with the arrest occurring in West Sussex, England, on September 23.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Although this arrest is a positive step, the investigation into this incident is in its early stages and remains ongoing.” – Paul Foster, head of the NCA’s national cybercrime unit.

🎯IMPACT: Disruptions to electronic systems caused delays, cancellations, and manual check-ins at affected airports, with some operations still not fully restored.

IN FULL

A man in his forties has been arrested in West Sussex, England, in connection with a cyberattack that disrupted operations at several major European airports, including London Heathrow. The incident, which began late Friday, caused widespread delays and forced airport staff in multiple cities to switch to manual check-in systems and issue handwritten boarding passes. Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) confirmed the arrest, adding that the suspect has been released on conditional bail while investigations continue.

Paul Foster, head of the NCA’s national cybercrime unit, said, “Although this arrest is a positive step, the investigation into this incident is in its early stages and remains ongoing. Cybercrime is a persistent global threat that continues to cause significant disruption to the UK.”

Airports in the German capital of Berlin, the Belgian capital of Brussels, and London were among those impacted, with Berlin Airport reporting ongoing delays. “Check-in and boarding are still largely manual,” the airport said, warning that it may take several days before operations fully return to normal.

The disruption has been traced to systems managed by Collins Aerospace, a U.S.-based aviation technology provider. The company confirmed a “cyber-related disruption” affecting select European airports and said it is working with additional specialists to restore full functionality.
