The U.S. Secret Service shot an individual this morning outside of the White House, after having recently received a tip from local law enforcement about a “suicidal individual who may be travelling to Washington D.C. from Indiana.” The incident occurred about a block from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, when uniformed officers with the Secret Service approached the individual standing outside of his car, leading him to brandish a firearm which resulted in an armed confrontation where he was shot several times. The individual, who was identified later as 27-year-old Andrew Dawson of Indiana, was rushed to a nearby hospital where his condition is still unknown.

The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa has just given a speech addressing the nation, about what is currently unfolding in the northwest of the country, around the Latakia Governorate, “We are now facing a new danger at this crucial moment, in that the remnants of the other regime, supported by foreign elements, are trying to create another civil war and drag our country towards a civil war in order to divide it, destroy its unity and stability. We know today that the dangers we face today are not just a passing threat but a direct result of the activities of various forces that are trying to perpetuate anarchy and destroy what is left of the homeland. What is happening on the coast is the clearest example of these attempts, and this is not the first time; a month and a half ago, something similar happened and we extinguished it.” Adding that those who have harmed civilians will be held accountable and brought to justice.

As the U.S. Department of Defense begins a plan to layoff thousands of federal employees as part of President Trump’s campaign to cut spending using Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE); roughly 1,000 of those jobs are reported to be at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant (MCAAP) in Oklahoma, one of the largest ammunition depots and munition production facilities in the United States.
Republican Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma, has stated that these cuts at MCAAP, which only employs about 1,800 workers, will have a significant impact on operations at the facility, which produces, repairs and stores a variety of munitions, ranging from the Mark-83 1,000lb Bomb and the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), to the MIM-23 HAWK Air-Defense Missile.
In addition to MCAAP, Senator Lankford states that 600 federal employees at nearby Tinker Air Force Base, the largest logistics and maintenance center for the U.S. Air Force, would also be laid off as part of the Trump Administration’s plan, emphasizing that the base would not be able to operate with such reductions.

Mahmoud Khalil, a well-known Palestinian activist living in the United States on a Permanent Resident Visa, also known as a Green Card, who played a major role in last year’s unrest and occupation in support of Hamas at Columbia University in New York City, has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is facing deportation and revocation of his Legal Permanent Resident Status.
Khalil, who graduated in December with a master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of International Affairs, is accused of leading activities at Columbia aligned to Hamas and has had his Student Visa revoked “in support of President Trump’s recent executive orders prohibiting antisemitism at U.S. college campuses”, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.
This follows a post earlier tonight by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which included a link to an article about Khalil’s arrest, while stating, “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”

Former U.S. Navy Captain, Astronaut and current Democratic Senator from Arizona, Mark Kelly travelled to Ukraine this weekend, where he met with officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv as well as Ukrainian military leaders, visited defense industry sites, heard from wounded service members, and met with the International Red Cross Committee.
Following his visit, Senator Kelly, who has traveled to Ukraine three times since 2023 and is the first member of Congress to visit the country since the recent heated-confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, stated, “One thing is clear: No one wants this war to end more than President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people. But it has to end in a way that protects their sovereignty and security. The safety of Ukraine is tied to the safety of the United States, that's why I stand with Ukraine.” With him adding, “The world will become a very cold and lonely place if we continue this ridiculous “screw you, go it alone” foreign policy — America is the strongest, richest country in the world. We didn’t get there by being bullies like Putin, we got there by leading from the front and bringing our allies.”
