Police need to be held accountable for their actions against this kid and his family. Just up and shooting him without even asking what is going on? Nah society needs to teach these cops a lesson in how to handle disabled children. I get it he was holding a weapon but nonverbal people literally can not speak at all or know social cues.

He was pulled off of life support so basically this is murder. Charge them all seriously this is so wrong in many ways.

The authorities declined to tell Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, whether he was accused of committing a crime, Greer said. Khalil has since been transferred to an immigration detention facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

“We have not been able to get any more details about why he is being detained,” Greer told the AP. “This is a clear escalation. The administration is following through on its threats.”

Donald Trump wants all Americans to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. The Associated Press has refused this silly executive order, which has no bearing on anyone outside of the Executive Branch, so Donald Trump responded by banning the AP from the Oval Office, press briefings, Air Force One, and threatening to remove their workspace from the White House. CNN’s Brian Stelter posted on X: [The Associated Press is contemplating next steps now that it has been banned from Air Force One, including from President Trump's flight to Mar-a-Lago this afternoon. Here's why it is a big deal >>> Blocking the AP from what are known as "pooled" events, like Air Force One flights and Oval Office photo ops, interferes with the news outlet's ability to do its job. The "press pool" travels with the president at all times and shares information with the wider press corps. The Associated Press is foundational to White House coverage – and serves many news outlets all around the world. In fact, The AP helped create the pool in the first place!] The AP’s history in the White House dates back to 1881. It is a wire service that provides news around the world. In the United States, it is a foundational pillar of news coverage. It is important to understand that Trump’s attack on the AP isn’t really about the Gulf of Mexico. The real motive here is control. Trump wants to control the news coverage. The administration is trying to make an example out of the AP because they can break the legendary Associated Press, and the rest of any remaining media resistance will crumble.

Thank God the AP isn’t bending to the anti-American Tyrant 47’s wishes on renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

The AP got wrongly barred from being in the Oval Office and Air Force One for not bending to Traitor Tot’s un-American order to call the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” This is an egregious attack on the free press.

Donald Trump banned the Associated Press from attending his Oval Office Executive Order signing event because they refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

The international community will still refer to this body of water as The Gulf of Mexico.

Trump is right that Harris and the press identified her as Indian before she started being identified as Black.

Like her policies, Harris' race is whatever is more medial at the moment.

More than 80 media outlets with forced to issue a correction after running an Associated Press story that alleged that 40,000 civilians had been killed in the Gaza Strip.

An August 18 AP story said that Vice President Kamala Harris had been “vocal” about the need to protect civilians in the Israel-Hamas war, and that the “civilian death toll has now exceeded 40,000.”

But “not even Hamas has alleged that more than 40,000 Palestinian civilians in Gaza have been killed in the war between Israel and the terror organization,” according to the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), which monitors Arab media.

“While the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported over 40,000 total deaths among Gaza’s residents, its data does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israeli sources, meanwhile, estimate that over 17,000 of those killed are Hamas combatants,” it said.

AP appended a correction to its story on August 19.

The outlet also revised the article’s text to say “More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the territory’s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry says, but how many are civilians is unknown. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and militants in its count. Israel says it has killed more than 17,000 militants in the war.”

Media outlets who carried the wire service’s article also issued corrections.

But CAMERA said that NBC affiliates in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York had still not made the correction three days after being notified.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation that aimed to bar transgender women and girls nationwide from participating in school athletic competitions designated for female athletes failed to advance Monday night in a divided Senate as Democrats stood united against an issue that Republicans leveraged in last year’s elections.

A test vote on the bill failed to gain the 60 votes needed to advance in the chamber as senators stuck to party lines in a 51-45 vote tally.
