Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray has commented further on the charges faced by Tyler Robinson, who appeared in court today for the first time after his arrest. On "Hannity" Tuesday night, Gray said the death penalty is not always needed in all murder cases, but in this case, he said Robinson had put others at risk of death, which is why it had been introduced. When asked by Sean Hannity if more charges were on the horizon for Robinson, Gray responded it was “certainly possible” as his team continued to follow all the leads they had. Gray’s comments came after he addressed similar questions at a press conference earlier when reporters pushed him on if additional charges would be filed against anyone else. “Again, we don't have any information at this point about additional suspects, but I know that our law enforcement agencies are continuing to follow leads,” Gray added...

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said Kash Patel’s actions so far as FBI director have “made our country weaker and less safe.” The Democratic senator cited Patel’s recent firings of several veteran FBI officials, eroding the agency’s institutional knowledge and expertise, his “withholding” of files into the Jeffrey Epstein case, and his social media post that said a subject was in custody in the Charlie Kirk shooting when the suspect was still at large at that point.“I believe you’re failing as a leader,” Booker said, “and that your failure does have serious implications for the safety and security of Americans and our families.”

#8 The Great Reset in Motion: Vietnam’s Banking Overhaul as a Warning to the World - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, Oliver Massman, Rupert Lowe MP/visceralview, Asian Banking & Finance, MAGA, and El hombre que ríe (The Man Who Laughs) on X
While not reported here in the United States, the current actions being taken in Vietnam are unusually sweeping and are indeed among the most aggressive in recent memory. What exactly is happening? As the nation surrenders to the deep state’s Great Reset, Vietnam has erased and/or frozen 86 million unverified bank accounts. Specifically, following orders issued by Vietnam’s State Bank in late December 2024, bank accounts—both individual and corporate/legal representatives—whose holders have not provided biometric identification with valid, updated ID documents on file will be suspended. In other words, anyone wishing to operate on a daily basis in Vietnam must relinquish their biometric data in order to possess a working bank account...#9 Federal Reserve Is Poised to Cut Rates for the First Time This Year - Steve Kopack, NXUS, Amb Antonio Garza, AT_QX/Whale Insider, Coin Bureau, and $Profidamus on X
The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates for the first time this year Wednesday afternoon. The decision, which will be announced at 2 p.m. ET, comes as the central bank faces challenges on multiple fronts, from unprecedented attacks on its independence to an uneasy economy, with experts split on whether a cut is even appropriate right now.... For more than two decades, the pharmaceutical industry and its defenders in government have leaned heavily on a handful of studies to dismiss the link between vaccines and autism. At the center of that body of work stands recently-arrested federal fugitive Poul Thorsen, a Danish scientist whose research is still repeatedly cited in courtrooms, media reports, and even last week in a government hearing as evidence that vaccines are “safe.”But Thorsen’s story reveals a disturbing truth: one of the most prominent figures used to silence vaccine concerns is himself a disgraced fugitive accused of defrauding U.S. taxpayers and falsifying documents...
