TRUMP DOJ Unleashes Death Penalty Fury After CEO Assassination
— The Trump Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, is demanding the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. Mangione stands accused of killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in a shocking public shooting outside a New York City hotel last December. Bondi called it a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination” and said this move supports President Trump’s promise to “Make America Safe Again.”
Mangione faces federal charges for murder with a firearm and terrorism-related crimes. These charges make him eligible for capital punishment under federal law — a penalty New York state does not allow. This case is one of the first big federal death penalty trials since President Trump ended the previous administration’s pause on executions.
Police arrested Mangione in Pennsylvania after people recognized him from released photos. His lawyer confirmed talks with prosecutors about the possible death sentence but gave no further details. Despite facing severe accusations, Mangione’s supporters have raised $775,000 to help pay for his legal defense.
Prosecutors say Mangione put bystanders at risk and tried to scare or pressure civilians and government leaders — key reasons behind the terrorism charges. This high-profile case shows that under President Trump, the federal government is taking bold action against violent crime across America.;

MINNESOTA ASSASSINATION Horror: Manhunt Ignites Fear After Lawmaker Slayings
— A quiet Minnesota suburb is in shock after a brutal “politically motivated assassination” claimed the lives of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also attacked and left fighting for their lives. The suspect, Vance Boelter, is still on the run, causing panic as police launch a statewide manhunt.
Authorities say Boelter pretended to be law enforcement to get close to his victims. He left behind a chilling manifesto with more names on his hit list. Families are locking their doors as fear spreads through the community.
Governor Tim Walz called it an attack on democracy itself, while President Trump condemned the violence and promised swift justice. The FBI has joined local police in asking Minnesotans to stay alert and report anything suspicious.
This tragedy has left two children without parents and rattled Minnesota’s political world. Many conservatives point to this attack as proof that unchecked political anger can turn deadly fast — and demand stronger protection for public officials before it happens again.
