Democrats cash in after Padilla forcibly removed from Trump admin press conference
But Thursday's incident, in which Padilla was handcuffed and briefly detained by officers as he aimed to speak out in opposition to Trump administration immigration raids that sparked unrest in Los Angeles and smaller protests across the country, may also pay off for the senator and fellow Democrats. Padilla, along with fellow California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), on Friday sent out fundraising emails to supporters highlighting the incident. SENATE SHAKEN: BIPARTISAN WORRIES AFTER INCIDENT INVOLVING CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT "If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country," Padilla said in his email to supporters, repeating his remarks from Thursday following the incident.

Israel‘s National Security Adviser: Only Trump Can End Iran‘s Nuclear Program -- Through a 'Good' Deal, After Attacks
Israel’s national security adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, told Israeli television on Friday that only U.S. President Donald Trump can end Iran’s nuclear program — even as Israel’s military was busy attacking it. The Times of Israel reported: Hanegbi specifies that the goals of the ongoing operation, as approved by the cabinet, against Iran are four-fold: striking Iran’s nuclear program, striking its ballistic missile capabilities; attacking its capacity to destroy Israel via a ground attack; and creating the conditions for the long-term thwarting of Iran’s nuclear program via diplomatic means. Elements of a “good” deal from an American perspective would include a commitment by Iran to dismantle its entire nuclear enrichment program; to end its ballistic missile program; to stop supporting terror; and, as this author has suggested, to agree to improve human rights in Iran, subject to regular monitoring.

This single habit can cut colorectal cancer death risk by 39% — but it’s different from government guidelines
A new study out of Taiwan found that beginning colorectal cancer screening at 40 can reduce cases by 21% and deaths by 39% compared to starting screening at 50. “Given our findings and recent studies supporting screening from age 45 years, further international research is warranted to guide global health policies on early colorectal cancer screening.” Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in Taiwan. In the US, the USPSTF lowered its recommendation for starting colorectal cancer screening from age 50 to 45 in 2021.

(VIDEO) ESPN Commentator Stephen A Smith Obliterates Sen. Alex Padilla for “Losing it” at DHS Press Conference – “You, a United States Senator, Couldn’t Compose Yourself!”
ESPN commentator and former Democrat supporter Stephen A. Smith lit up Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) following his unhinged attempts to accost Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference on Thursday afternoon. DHS said in a statement that Padilla “interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.” “I have questions for the Secretary because the fact of the matter is half a dozen violent criminals that you’re rotating on your— hands off!” Padilla yelled at Secret Service officers as he was removed from the room. Now, House Democrats want to subpoena Noem “because a US Senator was just thrown to the ground and detained.” The Gateway Pundit reported on a fiery exchange during a House Oversight Committee Hearing on Thursday, where the unhinged Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) started a shouting match with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Chairman James Comer (R-KY), demanding a subpoena for Kristi Noem.

Exclusive — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Breitbart News ‘My Number One Source Every Morning’
WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Breitbart News on Thursday evening that Breitbart News is in fact his “number one source” for news “every morning,” and that it is the first thing he reads every day. No animosity to Elon Musk, right?” BESSENT: “You know that?” GOMEZ: “That’s what I heard.” BESSENT: “So you believe what you read on Breitbart is what you’re telling us, Congressman.” It’s worth noting that–while many other outlets did do stories on this whole alleged physical altercation between Musk and Bessent at the White House, Breitbart News did not publish any stories on it. I was basically congratulating Congressman Gomez for expanding to Breitbart and using it as a source.” Breitbart News can also reveal that Bessent has now agreed to appear at a Breitbart News event later in June in the nation’s capital at a date, time, and location to be announced.

I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days
Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days The systematic thinking errors that kill breakthrough technology and the decision framework that prevents these disasters I've never shared this story publicly before—how I convinced HP's board to acquire Palm for $1.2 billion, then watched as they destroyed it while I was confined to bed recovering from surgery. The framework that emerged from this painful experience is something I call DECIDE—a systematic thinking process specifically designed for innovation decisions under uncertainty: Define the real decision (not just the obvious question) Examine your thinking process for cognitive biases Challenge your assumptions systematically Identify decision traps specific to innovation contexts Design multiple genuinely different options Evaluate with evidence frameworks appropriate for breakthrough technology This isn't theoretical academic stuff. But I do know this: the technology was sound, the market opportunity was real, and the decision to kill WebOS after 49 days was based on systematic thinking errors that could have been prevented with better decision frameworks.

Trump DOD Responds to Viral Ex-Military Member Blasting ICE: 'She Does Not Speak For' the U.S. Army
The Trump administration’s Department of Defense weighed in on the viral video of a “military member” blasting the administration’s immigration moves as part of one of the anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests across the country, noting that she does not speak for or reflect the sentiments of the U.S. Army. The Department of Defense issued a reaction to the woman’s critique, first asserting that she was discharged from the Texas National Guard on June 5th, 2020 and “does not speak for nor reflect the U.S. Army.” It then followed up with the following clarification: “Correction: This individual served in the U.S. Army from November 2010 to August 2014 and was then in the Army Reserves from August 2014 to June 2020.” Nowhere in the viral clip did the woman mention the reality of just who ICE is arresting and why. RELATED — “F*ck ICE”: Leftist Protesters Flood Los Angeles as National Guard Defends ICE Detention Center “Why do Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass care more about violent criminal illegal aliens than they do about protecting their own citizens?” asked DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, asserting the rioters are essentially “fighting to keep rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals loose on Los Angeles streets.” RELATED — Trump: Los Angeles Would Be ‘Burning to the Ground’ Without National Guard COMMENTS Please let us know if you're having issues with commenting.

Sky GM ‘needs more’ from Angel Reese as losses pile up in ugly start to season
We need more production out of her, but we need her to help us in other ways, too.” Reese’s stats have regressed in almost every statistical category from last season, when she was an All-Star and averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Reese’s rebound numbers have dipped to 12.1 per game, and she’s averaging 3.9 turnovers a night – a huge rise over last season’s mark of 2.2.

China 'Deeply Concerned' After Ally Iran Loses Top Terror Leaders to Israel Strikes
The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement defending “Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity” and discouraged “escalation” on Friday morning, responding to an Israeli operation targeting high-ranking Iranian military leaders. The government of Israel announced on Friday morning that it had launched “Operation Rising Lion,” targeting both top Iranian military leaders and its illicit nuclear energy facilities to prevent the Islamist regime from building a nuclear weapon. “The Chinese side supports Iran in safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and national dignity, steadily advancing its own economic and social development,” Xi told Pezeshkian at the time, “and improving and deepening good-neighborly and friendly relations with neighboring countries.” China and Iran signed an unprecedented 25-year “comprehensive strategic partnership” agreement in 2021, covering a host of economic and military sectors.

House GOP launches probe of China-based billionaire linked to protest groups, including anti-ICE agitators in LA
House GOP launches probe of China-based billionaire linked to protest groups, including anti-ICE agitators in LA WASHINGTON — House Republicans launched an investigation Friday into a China-based billionaire purportedly backing left-wing protest groups in the US — including one linked to the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots in Los Angeles — and asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to determine whether he was part of a larger Chinese Communist Party influence operation. The reclusive Neville Singham, who was born in Chicago but lives with his activist wife, Jodie Evans, in Shanghai, “may have acted as an agent for the CCP” through his support of the demonstrations, GOP members of the House Oversight Committee alleged in letters to the billionaire himself as well as Bondi that have been obtained by The Post. “You have created an elaborate dark money network which allows you to send funds to a series of non-profits,” they added, “that have almost no real footprints.” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), now secretary of state, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had asked President Joe Biden’s DOJ last year to look into any activities Singham may have been supporting “on behalf of the CCP” to promote civil unrest in the US, the Oversight panel noted.

Rex Heuermann’s pal describes his infamous basement gun room with 279 firearms: ‘One of only four people’ to see it
Creepy alleged serial murderer Rex Heuermann was obsessed with firearms and kept a serious weapons cache in a concrete basement room, which almost nobody was allowed to see.

First class passenger sparks security scare after asking a flight attendant this bizarre question: ‘Unbelievable’
According to the Reddit user, the cabin manager approached the passenger and informed them that they could not discuss “access procedures for the flight deck” for security purposes. The passenger responded, “Oh, excuse me, I didn’t realize I wasn’t able to ask questions,” to which the cabin manager reportedly replied, “I can answer most questions, but I cannot answer questions related to the security of the aircraft.” When the passenger inquired why the flight attendant couldn’t answer a security-related question, the cabin manager allegedly said, “Seriously? So thank you for letting us know what you observed on your prior flights.” Later on, when the pilot used the lavatory, the poster noted that two of the flight attendants from the rear were called up to block the galley, and “one of them stared at 1B the entire time.” “Unbelievable this guy can’t understand why it might be suspicious for the passenger seated in one of the two closest possible seats to the flight deck door to ask about galley obstructions procedures,” the original poster wrote.

Justin Thomas unravels at US Open with four-putt nightmare
Looking to bounce back from a 6-over 76 in Thursday’s opening round, Justin Thomas’ quest for a comeback took a hit on the par-5 12th hole at the Pittsburgh-area course, where a birdie opportunity from 26 feet turned into a crushing double bogey on the slick greens. Thomas, whose last major championship win was in 2022, shot even par over his final nine holes but it was not enough to salvage a frustrating two days as he finished 12-over and will miss the cut. Reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau started his opening round Thursday by nearly committing a rules blunder while rival Rory McIlroy shot 4-over 74 and ducked the media afterward.

Watchdog Organization Flagged Iran Enriching Uranium Hours Before Israeli Strike
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard spoke to the Senate Intelligence Committee in March about Iran’s growing uranium stockpile, saying, “Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.” However, she rejected the idea that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon, stating, “The IC Intelligence Community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.” (RELATED: Editor Daily Rundown: Israel Launches Strikes On Iran) Furthermore, a confidential IAEA report from late May, which was seen by CBS News and The Associated Press, said that as of May 17, the Iranians had stockpiled 900.8 pounds of uranium, enriched to 60%. Uranium enriched to 60% is not suitable for a nuclear weapon and, generally, uranium must be enriched to 90% in order to be used for a nuclear weapon. Alongside, the report noted the increase in all enriched levels of uranium in the country, which totaled 20,387.4 pounds of uranium, an increase of 2,101.4 pounds since February, according to CBS News.

The Iranian Military Chiefs, Nuclear Scientists, and Terror Heads Targeted by Israel
Israel’s first round of airstrikes, in what the Israeli government is describing as an extended campaign to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program, killed several top Iranian military officers and nuclear scientists. He ordered Iran’s two failed missile strikes against Israel during the Gaza war, which provoked Israel to wipe out much of Iran’s air defense network, which paved the way for the swift elimination of the IRGC commander on Thursday night. Tehranchi supervised Iran’s first effort to build a nuclear weapon in 2004, the so-called “Amad Plan.” He was sanctioned by the U.S. Commerce Department in 2020, after President Trump pulled out of former president Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran due to the regime’s “unacceptable nuclear escalations.” Notably, not even the infamously Iran-friendly Obama administration was willing to lift the sanctions against Shahid Beheshti University, where Tehranchi’s work on lasers was seen as important to Iran’s uranium enrichment program.

This is how NYC crushes gnawed apple cores and greasy pizza boxes into ‘black gold’
Millions of disgusting, leaking bags of rotting food collected from New York City streets every week are digested and spat back out as “black gold” as part of the city’s fast-growing compost initiative. “When you think about how much food waste there is all across the city, it would be very difficult to put ten more of these facilities so we have to have many diverse resources for a city as large as ours,” said McDonnell, adding that the DSNY would partner with other facilities in the region to manage the load if it became too much. The agency has also scattered fake dead seagulls across the property to show their friends what might happen if they try to munch on the future “black gold.” It’s not just that the DSNY doesn’t want the compost to be eaten, but the birds’ excrement and bacteria would jeopardize the safety of the material, explained the compost facility’s project manager, Mike LeBlanc.

Appeals court won’t reconsider Trump’s $5M loss to E. Jean Carroll
Appeals court won’t reconsider Trump’s $5M loss to E. Jean Carroll NEW YORK, June 13 (Reuters) – Donald Trump failed to persuade a federal appeals court to reconsider the $5 million verdict won by E.
