A Ukrainian immigrant, Iryna Zarutska, was stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail by a repeat offender—sparking outrage over crime and media spin. Trump scores wins: $5B in foreign aid frozen, over 22k missing children found, ICE raids ramping up, and B-2 strikes on Iran declared 100% successful. North Carolina voter trends favor Republicans, Chicagoans want Trump’s troops to tackle crime, and polls show Trump at 55% approval. Globally: Israel signs a pact with India, France’s debt crisis deepens, Spain’s PM rants about nukes, and Lloyd’s scraps net zero. On culture and tech: prayer in schools reaffirmed, a shoebox-sized computer with brain cells unveiled, and AI flagged for sending users into psych wards. In medicine: studies show troubling DNA contamination in vaxxes, hidden data links shots to spikes in chronic and neurodevelopmental disorders, and Trump shifts hard against Big Pharma. Entertainment sees Rick Davies of Supertramp pass away, while Oliver North marries Fawn Hall in a full-circle moment. Heavy week—prayers go out to Charlie Kirk’s family."}
