The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has now made an official finding in the death of beloved NBC4 aerial reporter Eliana Moreno. Moreno was killed when the news helicopter carrying her and pilot George Marciniw plunged to the ground in Chatsworth on September 15. She was just 38 years old. Coroner provides official cause of death for NBC reporter Eliana Moreno after horrific helicopter crash https://t.co/Q8hKgiWBdi pic.twitter.com/MZ6pSjC19B — New York Post (@nypost) September 21, 2026 According to the New York Post, the medical examiner determined that Moreno died from blunt-force trauma. The office also listed thermal injuries and the inhalation of combustion products as other significant conditions in her death. Those findings answer one painful question for Moreno’s family, colleagues and viewers. But they do not explain why the helicopter went down. That investigation is still open, and the distinction is important. The medical examiner’s report establishes the physical injuries and fire-related conditions tied to Moreno’s death, but it does not identify the mechanical or operational failure that sent the helicopter down; that determination belongs to the federal aviation investigation, which can take months as specialists study wreckage, maintenance records, video, audio and the aircraft’s final movements. The Post reported that Moreno was working aboard NewsChopper4 with pilot George Marciniw when the aircraft fell near the scene they had been covering. Both people aboard the helicopter were killed. Edy Gutierrez Mejia, a 29-year-old man on the ground, also died when the aircraft came down. His cause of death was listed as blunt-force trauma to the head. Marciniw’s official cause of death had not yet been made public when the finding for Moreno was released. Federal investigators, meanwhile, had not announced what caused the helicopter itself to fail. Moreno and Marciniw were aboard a Eurocopter AS350 B2 operated by Angel City Air and used for coverage by NBC4 Los Angeles and Telemundo 52. They had been reporting on a deadly collision between an SUV and a Metro bus when the aircraft crashed nearby. The collision they were covering had already killed two people before the helicopter tragedy added three more lives to the toll that evening. NTSB investigator-in-charge Fabian Salazar begins the on-scene examination Wednesday of the Eurocopter AS 350 B2 helicopter that crashed Tuesday during a news gathering operation in Chatsworth, California. pic.twitter.com/pfZucMBxeb — NTSB Newsroom (@NTSB_Newsroom) September 16, 2026 The Associated Press reported that an alarm could be heard in the helicopter’s cockpit during the final seconds of the live broadcast as the aircraft began losing altitude. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Fabian Salazar said that recording could be some of the investigation’s most important evidence. The NTSB began examining the wreckage the day after the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration is also involved, and neither agency has announced a final cause. The AP also reported that the helicopter moved away from the original bus-crash scene as it lost altitude. Moreno could be heard reacting to the emergency in the final moments before the broadcast ended, giving investigators a time-stamped record of what the crew saw and heard as the aircraft rapidly descended. That distinction matters. A medical examiner determines what injuries caused a person to die, while the NTSB reconstructs the chain of events that produced those injuries; investigators can examine the aircraft’s systems, maintenance history, weather, communications and crew actions before issuing preliminary findings and, eventually, a final probable cause. Aviation investigators have the separate job of determining what mechanical, operational, environmental or human factors caused an aircraft to crash. Until that work is finished, any confident claim about why NewsChopper4 went down would be speculation. What is already clear is the scale of the loss. Moreno was a familiar voice heard over dramatic aerial footage. She spent 16 years doing one of the most demanding jobs in local television news: reporting, shooting video, following fast-moving events and explaining them from a helicopter over one of America’s largest cities. She graduated from Chapman University in 2010 with degrees in broadcast journalism and political science, then joined Angel City Air that same year. Her family said she had dreamed of becoming a reporter since she was 11 years old. She built that dream into a career that placed her above wildfires, police pursuits, traffic disasters and breaking-news scenes, helping viewers understand what was happening below. The brother of NBC4's Eliana Moreno is remembering his sister and the moments that shaped her life and journalism career. Here's what he shared.https://t.co/T78pSLUU5H — NBC Los Angeles (@NBCLA) September 21, 2026 NBC Los Angeles remembered Moreno as a trusted aerial journalist whose work reached both its English- and Spanish-language audiences. Her brother, Johan Moreno, later shared family memories of the curiosity and determination that shaped her long before viewers knew her as “Eli in the Heli.” Moreno leaves behind five brothers and sisters, a fiancé, stepchildren and beloved dogs. NBC reported that she was born in Orange County and graduated from Chapman University before beginning her aerial-news career. She became a fixture in the sky over Southern California while working for Angel City Air, covering wildfires, police pursuits, traffic emergencies and breaking news for viewers in two languages—a job that demanded a reporter’s judgment, a photographer’s eye and the composure to work from a moving aircraft. The station also remembered Marciniw as a veteran pilot with more than 40 years of flying experience. He and Moreno had worked together as the NewsChopper4 team since 2023. Colleagues described the pair as professionals who guided viewers through emergencies from above, often under enormous pressure. Their deaths left the NBC4 and Telemundo 52 newsrooms mourning two people whose work had become part of daily life in Los Angeles. There is a cruel layer to this tragedy: Moreno died while doing the work she had wanted to do since childhood, covering another deadly accident so the public could understand it. The medical examiner’s finding puts official words to how her life ended. The fuller truth of who she was is in the years of work, the family she loved and the city that trusted her voice from above.

In an open letter, influential leaders within the MAHA and health freedom movements said President Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would face “political consequences” for allegedly failing to act on removing the mRNA platform. “While the centerpiece of the MAHA and health freedom agenda has been removal of mRNA shots, you have failed to take decisive action on this front despite overwhelming credible evidence to the harm of this technology. Instead, your policies related to mRNA technology are neutered and self-defeating, putting pregnant women and children at risk, misleading parents and eroding their rights, and failing to help those harmed by vaccines,” the letter read. “If you continue to ignore our central issue of removing the mRNA platform, the MAHA and health freedom movements will withdraw their support of you, and you will face the political consequences,” it continued. “We did not fight to place you in positions of leadership so that our clearly stated policy goals would suffer a ‘bait and switch’ that rebranded the grassroots powerful objection to the damaging mRNA platform as a concern about coloring agents in Skittles. Health freedom is not the possession of Secretary Kennedy or his advisors. Health freedom agenda arose from the voices of millions of those impacted by the harmful government policies during the pandemic,” the letter read. “The MAHA/health freedom vote was a historic game-changer. Neither Republicans nor the Democrats could have prevailed without this critical swing vote. Health freedom voters can and will walk away if we continue to see inaction—or condescending non-policy—on our core issues,” it continued. “If you continue to ignore the centerpiece of our policy agenda—removing all mRNA products covered by PREP Act emergency declarations entirely from the market—you will pay a political price. We will run our own candidates at the state level, and we will support other challengers,” it added. Breaking: EXCLUSIVE: 'You will pay a political price': MAHA leaders threaten Trump, RFK Jr. for perceived mRNA betrayal https://t.co/Aj1ZGKNlJe — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) September 21, 2026 “Removal of the mRNA platform from the market remains one of the central goals of the grassroots medical freedom movement,” the letter read. Millions of concerned citizens set aside partisan differences and identities to support the historic MAGA/MAHA alliance. Instead of decisive policy actions on these core issues, we see distractions, linguistic misdirections, and watered-down announcements that avoid serious action on the deadly mRNA injections,” it continued. Just the News has more: Lame-duck Kentucky GOP congressman Thomas Massie, former Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson are the highest-profile non-medical figures among the 168 signatories. Trump marginalized each after fallouts. Massie demanded a year ago that the Food and Drug Administration “immediately revoke licensure of the mRNA COVID shots,” but his breaks from Trump, especially by leading the charge for the release of the full unredacted Epstein files, prompted the president to support a successful primary challenger. Louisiana Deputy Surgeon General Sean Troxclair, an internal medicine and critical care specialist who cited vaccine injury as the prompt for his Christian conversion, is the most high-ranking current government official short of Massie among signatories. At least three doctors who faced serious professional repercussions for their skepticism of COVID vaccines — Idaho’s Ryan Cole, Utah’s Kirk Moore and Texas’s Mary Talley Bowden — signed the letter, as did the man who hosted the gathering that produced the anti-lockdown Great Barrington Declaration, Brownstone Institute founder Jeffrey Tucker. Others include mRNA technology pioneer-turned-skeptic Robert Malone, Vaccine Safety Research Foundation founder Steven Kirsch, former pharmaceutical executive and clinical trial manager Sasha Latypova, cardiologists Aseem Malhotra and Peter McCullough, medical scientist-turned-journalist Maryanne Demasi, comedy podcaster Jimmy Dore and evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein, a pillar of the onetime “intellectual dark web.” Bowden coordinated the letter and showed it to Just the News before sending it Monday, emphasizing they have a combined 35 million followers on X. It took about a week, led by Bowden “reaching out individually” to sought-after supporters and spreading the word in group forums for doctors. The letter listed six calls to action. “We ask you to deliver our actual policy goals in the near term, or face the political consequences,” it read. Ban mRNA/gene therapy-derived technologies for all vaccines, due to their demonstrated abject failure regarding safety, efficacy, and disease prevention after more than four years of real-world use and billions of doses administered. Terminate the PREP Act declaration for COVID injections, as no emergency exists. Extending this declaration, with its ironclad liability shield for manufacturers and administrators, serves no public health interest. Recommend that Congress repeal the PREP Act entirely, due to its numerous constitutional conflicts. Ban pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising, as is the practice in every other country except New Zealand. Review and revise current HHS-level policies that create perverse incentives for healthcare providers to engage in medical coercion, including but not limited to vaccinations. End conflicts of interest at the CDC, FDA, NIH, and NIAID. Watch Dr. Mary Talley Bowden discuss the letter on “The Jimmy Dore Show”: BREAKING: 150+ MAHA leaders just delivered an ultimatum to Trump and RFK Jr. Remove the mRNA shots from the market, or “pay a political price … for the midterms and for 2028.” This bombshell letter is signed by: Tucker Carlson.

The White House on Monday launched “Trump TV,” a 24/7 streaming platform on YouTube after President Trump barred CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO from the White House. “IT’S LIVE,” the White House wrote. “TRUMP TV IS STREAMING NOW. 24/7, updated in real time, with top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place. Not every big moment has made it on your tv, now it can,” it continued. IT'S LIVE. TRUMP TV IS STREAMING NOW. 24/7, updated in real time, with top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place. Not every big moment has made it on your tv, now it can. https://t.co/3KwWkBZ69m pic.twitter.com/g4v7n2J04s — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 21, 2026 The inaugural video was a stream of Trump speaking at Mount Rushmore on July 3 as part of a livestream called “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station.” Watch below: The Hill shared further: The video is also streamed via a YouTube window on the White House website. Beside the window is a box titled “White House Live.” The window read that it was “Off Air” but advised viewers to “Stay Tuned.” Below both windows is a chyron reading official updates and statements praising Trump’s actions as president, among other texts. It is unclear if Trump TV will play live events featuring the president and his administration. A promo for Trump TV played on the White House’s YouTube channel earlier in the day. The video used clips of characters from various media –– including “Seinfeld,” “Family Guy,” and “The Dark Knight” –– watching TV as The Buggles’s “Video Killed the Radio Star” played in the background. The words “Trump TV” flash across the screen over the clips. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) slammed Trump TV’s rollout in the wake of his ban on White House reporters from CNN, Politico and MS NOW. “First, Trump banned independent news from the White House,” Newsom wrote on X. “Now, he’s launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people. This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.” First, Trump banned independent news from the White House.

It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America,” Trump said. “It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!” he added. Media Outlets Banned From White House File Lawsuit, President Trump Responds Forbes noted: The White House TV pool, which includes CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and Fox, said it would not cover Trump on Monday, skipping out on his meeting with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the unveiling of the new White House helipad, which was broadcast with no audio since there was no pool boom microphone.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange made a rare post on social media by revealing he and his wife Stella are expecting their third child. “October Surprise,” Assange wrote. “This new life is thanks to everyone who fought for my freedom,” he added. #OctoberSurprisethis new life is thanks to everyone who fought for my freedom pic.twitter.com/LhCptqP8P3 — Julian Assange (@JulianAssange) September 21, 2026 news.com.au has more: A picture showed the Australian man staring off into the distance standing next to his wife, who cradled her stomach. In a separate post, Ms Assange said they had “happy news”. “This new life would not have been possible without all those who fought to bring Julian Assange home,” she wrote on social media. This is Assange’s third child. He and his wife secretly conceived two children, Gabriel and Max, while the WikiLeaks founder was living inside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. Assange returned to Australian soil in June 2024 from a UK jail after signing a plea deal with the US, ending a years-long battle over his extradition to the country. Assange was quiet following his release but returned to social media in September after eight years. “I’m back,” Assange wrote earlier this month. I'm back. https://t.co/2e58azeJkt — Julian Assange (@JulianAssange) September 17, 2026 In another post, the WikiLeaks founder corrected Polymarket that his X hiatus was eight years instead of two years. “8 years, polymarket. last tweet 2018. account then run by my defense campaign as @DefendAssange,” he wrote. 8 years, polymarket. last tweet 2018. account then run by my defense campaign as @DefendAssange https://t.co/omXYwiimDT — Julian Assange (@JulianAssange) September 18, 2026 7NEWS shared further: The news comes just over two years since he was freed following a 14-year-long legal battle against espionage charges. Following his publication of classified US documents in 2010 and 2011, Assange spent seven years at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he was granted asylum on the grounds of political persecution as he avoided extradition to Sweden amid a rape investigation that was later dropped by Swedish authorities. He spent the next five years in a high-security UK prison fighting extradition to the US. He pleaded guilty to the Espionage Act in a US court in the Northern Mariana Islands as part of a plea deal for his freedom in 2024. While admitting guilt, Assange did note he believed it contradicted the US constitution’s First Amendment protecting free speech. Stella told Sunrise at the time that reuniting with Assange was the “happiest day of my life”, after being questioned about the couple’s long kiss after her husband landed in Canberra. “I was so happy to see him, and we were able to spend our first few moments together in freedom. The reception has been so extraordinary,” Stella said. The post “October Surprise” – Julian Assange Announces Heartwarming Family Update appeared first on 100PercentFedUp.com.

The White House has rolled out a new round-the-clock streaming channel called “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station,” giving viewers a direct feed of President Trump’s speeches, appearances and administration highlights. The launch came on the same day the major television networks halted pooled video coverage of the president after CNN was prevented from serving its scheduled turn in the White House television pool. The White House announced that the new stream would operate 24 hours a day and go live Monday evening: Streaming 24/7. Live at 7PM. pic.twitter.com/ax9obEH4sf — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 21, 2026 The White House lists the channel on its official live page as “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station.” The administration says the stream will collect its biggest moments, major remarks and selected highlights in one place, with updates made in real time. The launch announcement describes it as a continuous stream rather than a single scheduled event. That gives the administration a standing video outlet for speeches, official appearances and clips selected by the White House communications team. The channel appears alongside other official livestreams and archived events already carried on WhiteHouse.gov. Its new branding packages those materials as a dedicated 24/7 station, making the administration’s own video feed available even when no network pool camera is operating. The rollout followed several teaser posts from the official White House account. The first showed an old television set carrying a brief “stay tuned” message: Something’s coming. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/IZSvMR1Glo — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 21, 2026 The timing placed the new White House channel directly inside a fast-moving dispute over access to the president. CBS News reports that ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC rotate responsibility for providing pooled television footage of the president’s travel and official events. After the White House barred CNN from carrying out Monday’s scheduled assignment, the networks said the pool would suspend coverage of events designated for presidential pool video. The White House had previously barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from access, with President Trump accusing the outlets of publishing “fake news.” The three organizations filed a federal lawsuit Monday, arguing that their credentials had been revoked because the administration objected to their reporting. The networks’ decision affects pooled television coverage, not all reporting about the president. Journalists can continue reporting from other settings, and events at venues such as the United Nations may have their own camera systems. The immediate effect is that the traditional network pool is no longer supplying its shared video feed for certain presidential movements and events. A second White House teaser showed a satellite truck approaching the White House, previewing the administration’s plan to distribute its own programming: pic.twitter.com/eZr8ViTY4t — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 21, 2026 The Associated Press explains that the White House press pool is a rotating group that accompanies the president and shares reporting, audio and footage with a much larger group of news organizations. The television component normally relies on the five major networks taking turns supplying the shared camera crew. That distinction will shape the debate around the new channel. TRUMP TV gives the administration a permanent direct distribution outlet, while the suspended network pool has traditionally provided an independently operated audiovisual record of presidential events. The White House stream is now live, and the dispute over press access is moving into federal court. For viewers, the practical result is immediate: official footage remains available directly from the administration even as the customary pooled network feed is on hold.
