Terrible news to report, as at least 2 are dead and 8 critically wounded after an active shooter opened fire on Brown University. Here’s a live look on the scene: BREAKING: Authorities have declared the shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island a mass casualty event. Early reports suggesting as many as 20 victims. Heartbreaking. Please pray for all involved. pic.twitter.com/CykFcAnyz0 — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) December 13, 2025 The White House and President Trump initially reported the suspect was in custody: “I have been briefed on the shooting that took place at Brown University in Rhode Island. The FBI is on the scene. The suspect is in custody. God bless the victims and the families of the victims!” – President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/3aajBXd3XT — The White House (@WhiteHouse) December 13, 2025 But a new update just shared as of press time for this article says a suspect was in custody but now determined to NOT be the shooter, and the shooter or shooters are believed to still be at large: JUST IN: Officials CONFIRM they had a suspect in custody, but then determined he was not the Brown University shooter. The university had to correct two initial reports throughout the entire ordeal. SUSPECT NOT IN CUSTODYpic.twitter.com/e6MM8lWCLf — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 13, 2025 More here: BREAKING: Officials just confirmed TWO FATAILITIES at the Brown University mass shooting, in a tragic development. 8 in CRITICAL STATUS, but stable, at Rhode Island Hospital. Pray for the victims and their families. This is devastating. NO SHOOTER IN CUSTODY. pic.twitter.com/JVxeEbTm66 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 13, 2025 Here’s a quick summary of what we know so far, according to CNN: What we know so far • At least two people were killed and eight critically wounded when a shooter opened fire during exams today at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, according to officials. • Authorities say they’re still searching for the shooter, who was described as a male dressed in black, but few details were immediately available about the suspect. • The shooting happened at an engineering and physics building where multiple exams were scheduled this afternoon, according to the school. One student told CNN affiliate WJAR he hid under his desk for two hours waiting for police to clear the building. • President Donald Trump says he’s been briefed on the shooting. Federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are aiding local law enforcement. • Brown is a private Ivy League research university and one of the oldest higher education institutions in the country. No weapons have been recovered from the shooting but investigators believe that a firearm was used in the incident at Brown University, according to Providence Deputy Chief of Police Tim O’Hara. At a news conference tonight, he said officials are unaware what type of firearm it was. And I’ll just end with this…. Before the MSM and the Far-Left try to politicize this for more gun control, just remind them of this: Before all the gun control retards begin engagement farming and use this attack at Brown University to push an agenda: pic.twitter.com/um9HWSl92s — Mr. Fanger (@tweeterfanger) December 13, 2025

I bet you’ve seen this photo plastered EVERYWHERE online the past few days, haven’t you? And the skeptical might say “I wonder why Noah didn’t cover this!  See, Trump is guilty!” Well, the reason I didn’t cover it is because I was doing my homework and my gut told me it was another Democrat hoax, pushed by people like this vile Congresswoman who calls Trump a pedophile in the post below and STRONGLY IMPLIES that this picture is Trump surrounded by 7 underage girls: Vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein’s estate.@OversightDems are demanding the DOJ comply with our subpoena and release the full Epstein files. Stop protecting pedophiles. Survivors deserve justice now. pic.twitter.com/SaWXnqpE8m — Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (@RepYassAnsari) December 12, 2025 The only problem? It’s Fake News! A complete hoax — in a string of countless hoaxes. Who are the women? They are ADULTS modeling for Hawaiian Tropic at a Hawaiian-themed party held at Mar-a-Lago in 1998: These are Hawaiian Tropic Models and this picture was taken at an event AT Mar-a-lago in 1998, by the way, but I’m pretty sure you knew that when you blacked out their faces to make it look nefarious.I’d probably lawyer up if I were you. https://t.co/SdbRc1AYoh pic.twitter.com/rkgVS6KJLF — Some Welder (@SomeWelder) December 12, 2025 WHAT A SCANDAL: Trump was surrounded by pretty 20-year old models! I agree with this guy who says Trump should sue everyone who pushed this hoax for defamation: President Donald Trump should sue @EdKrassen @Krassenstein and everyone else who insisted there were underage girls in this photo that was published by the New York Post and was not secret like the Democrats wanted you to believe by blurring faces. Adult Hawaiian Tropic models. pic.twitter.com/eYyQzAXMfu — Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) December 13, 2025 Because this wasn’t just an honest mistake. Here’s how the scam works…. They claim they have to redact the facts to “protect the victims” which then leads your mind to think Trump is surrounded by 7 underage girls!  How horrible! But they know before they put those black boxes over their faces that these are adult women working as professional models at a party. If you ask me, it’s wildly defamatory! The Telegraph has now gone on record after speaking to one of the models who gave Donald Trump nothing but high praise: The women were models representing Hawaiian Tropic, the American suntan lotion brand, at an event at Mar-a-Lago. The photo is thought to have been taken in 1998, when Epstein and Mr Trump were close friends, and the models were in their twenties. One of the women in the Mar-a-Lago photo told The Telegraph the US president was a “gentleman” who went out of his way to ensure the group enjoyed their evening at his Florida holiday home. “I was 22 years old and remember him being very nice. He was very gentlemanly, that’s the word to describe him,” she said. This is how the HOAX works: Democrats released an image of Donald Trump with adult Hawaiian Tropic models and blacked out their faces to make it seem like he was with underage Epstein victims. pic.twitter.com/2CglV7jRxs — Right Winged Angel (@RightWngdAngel) December 13, 2025 They did the same thing when they redacted names in documents, making you think it was the names of minors but knowing full well it was actually Virginia Giuffre who is on record defending Trump! The NY Post has also gone on record to debunk this hoax: Unredacted photos of President Trump from the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s estate — which oddly blurred the faces of women he posed with — reveal he was standing with “adult women models,” according to exclusive images obtained by The Post. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a trove of images from Epstein’s estate Friday, including two shots of the president with women whose faces were blacked out — fueling speculation they could be the disgraced financier’s victims. But a pair of pictures obtained exclusively by The Post show Trump standing next to beautiful grown women. One woman pictured in a black-and-white image with the future president and five other glamorous ladies in Hawaiian leis said he was a “gentleman” who went out of his way to make sure the group enjoyed their evening at Mar-a-Lago. Sherrone Moore and Onlyfans model Mia Sorety Ex-University of Michigan football coach offered OnlyFans models tickets in exchange for foursome: report “I don’t remember much of that,” she told the Telegraph. “I was 22 years old and remember him being very nice. He was very gentlemanly, that’s the word to describe him.” The outlet reported the women were models representing the Hawaiian Tropic, the American suntan lotion brand, at an event at Trump’s Florida home. While the photo is believed to have been taken in 1998, the time and place remain unknown. Should MSDNC be sued into oblivion? Yesterday, MSDNC’s “legal reporter” suggested that the women in the Trump photo are “either minors and/or survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell”. It’s now been revealed that the women were all adult Hawaiian Tropic models at a Mar-a-Lago event. You can’t hate the… pic.twitter.com/1EbJn2RJuy — Patri0tsareinContr0l (@Patri0tContr0l) December 13, 2025 RELATED REPORT: New Epstein Files Leaked By Dems, Once Again A Big “Nothing Burger” Stop my if you've heard this one before.... After years and years of the so-called "Epstein Files" being in the possession of the federal authorities, including 4+ years of Joe Biden and Merrick Garland, we once again have some new document that has just leaked and SURELY this is the one that will "get Trump". It's the same lame thing over and over and over. As I've said so many times before, if there were even one small shred of evidence linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein that was REAL and VERIFIABLE, it would have just been airing on the MSM 24/7 for the last 10 years. But it hasn't because none exists. The only thing they can resort to is weak innuendo and flat-out fake claims in a desperate home to finally "get Trump". None of it ever works because none of it is ever real. But they tried again today.... Why? Because they desperately needed to change the news cycle after American was starting to blame the Democrats for the 40+ day Government shutdown.  So they needed a diversion. And they went to their favorite one.... The latest are a string of weird emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell speaking in some weird coded language referring to Trump as "the dog who didn't bark". Yup, that's it. That's your "smoking gun" according to the rabid Left. Take a look: ? BOMBSHELL: Dems Think They Got Trump with Epstein Emails, But Once Again Fail to Prove Wrongdoing ? The House Oversight Committee Democrats released a huge nothing-burger, naming Virginia Giuffre as someone who “spent hours with Donald Trump” at Jeffrey Epstein's house,… pic.twitter.com/jI3FesDJep — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) November 12, 2025 In case you don't get the obtuse reference: In Sherlock Holmes, “the dog that didn’t bark” means an absence of an expected signal, and that absence itself is a clue. In the April 2011 email Epstein wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell — “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump … [Victim] spent hours at my house with him … he has never once been mentioned.” — he’s flagging a conspicuous silence. So the claim is that Trump somehow spent hours with a "victim" (more on that in a minute) and then the claim is essentially that it's weird that we haven't succeeded yet in successfully framing Trump. The emails come off much less about any wrongdoing of Donald Trump but much more about Epstein and Maxwell scheming on how to extort or frame Donald Trump. That's your big smoking gun. But speaking of a smoking gun, here's the big smoking gun that just backfired in this big reveal.... The emails redacted the "victim's" name, but it's now been discovered that name was Virginia Giuffre -- the same Virginia Giuffre who said up and down Donald Trump did nothing wrong to her and then said she wasn't suicidal before she got suicideed. You connecting all these dots? And there it is… Democrats intentionally redacted “Virginia” because the name would 100% vindicate him. All democrats do is lie. https://t.co/geKb3jAwqJ pic.twitter.com/3RVu3vbBrO — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) November 12, 2025 Mountains of evidence that Giuffre constantly testified Trump did nothing wrong: Democrats are trying to frame these new documents that Trump did something to Virginia Giuffre… but here she is in her own words contradicting everything they’re trying to frame it as. “Trump didn't partake in any sex with us, and it's not true that he flirted with me...

Total nonsense: My question is this: didn't the Dems have control over these emails for 4 years, after an 8-year investigation into Trump? Is it not even the slightest bit odd that they kept this email for so long before releasing it? If I had this evidence, I would have published it… https://t.co/njjuHkd9nW — Kevin Sorbo (@ksorbs) November 12, 2025 As I said, another huge NOTHING BURGER. Nice try I guess?

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is providing air passenger data to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) multiple times per week to identify people subject to deportation. The New York Times first reported on the program, saying it was “previously undisclosed.” Breaking News: The Trump administration is sharing all air travelers’ names with ICE officials to find people with deportation orders. https://t.co/WJdEF8NPB5 — The New York Times (@nytimes) December 12, 2025 More from The New York Times: It’s unclear how many arrests have been made as a result of the collaboration. But documents obtained by The New York Times show that it led to the arrest of Any Lucía López Belloza, the college student picked up at Boston Logan Airport on Nov. 20 and deported to Honduras two days later. A former ICE official said 75 percent of instances in that official’s region where names were flagged by the program yielded arrests. ICE has historically avoided interfering with domestic travel. But the partnership between airport security and the immigration agency, which began quietly in March, is the latest way the Trump administration is increasing cooperation and information sharing between federal agencies in service of the president’s goal of carrying out the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history. “The message to those in the country illegally is clear: The only reason you should be flying is to self-deport home,” said Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security. Airline passengers have long been subject to some federal scrutiny. Airlines typically provide passenger information to T.S.A. after a flight is reserved. That information is compared against national security databases, including the Terrorist Screening Dataset, which includes the names of individuals on a watch list of known or suspected terrorists. But the T.S.A. previously did not get involved in domestic criminal or immigration matters, said one former agency official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the issue freely. Among the concerns, the former official said, has been that enforcement activities at airports could distract from airport security and contribute to longer passenger wait times. “This is nothing new,” a Homeland Security spokesperson told CNBC. “Back in February, Secretary [Kristi] Noem reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country and do so without identification. Under President Trump, TSA and DHS will no longer tolerate this. This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport,” the spokesperson continued. TSA is providing airline passenger data to ICE to aid Trump’s deportations: report https://t.co/HGQPkYVTFY pic.twitter.com/pzwYdusO7o — The Independent (@Independent) December 13, 2025 The Independent shared further: The Trump administration has reportedly leaned on immigration agents to carry out a (so far unmet) target of 3,000 arrests per day to achieve the president’s campaign promises to swiftly deport millions of people. As part of this effort, the White House has used federal data as a key weapon. The Department of Homeland Security now has access to personal data on nearly every American, while the administration has threatened to withhold SNAP food benefits from mostly Democrat-run states if they don’t turn over immigration data on recipients. The White House has also sought to leverage tax and Veterans Affairs data as part of its immigration campaign.

But she didn't leave with just one that day. Two other kittens were also rescued.Though the three had arrived separately, they were close in age, and their journeys would continue together. April WeberApril Weber, a dedicated foster volunteer, welcomed the trio into her home. Teensy, the tabby, popped out of her carrier, curious about her new surroundings, but it didn't take long for April to realize that something wasn't right."Teensy especially got quite sick, stopped gaining weight, and became pretty lethargic," April told Love Meow. Itty, Bitty, and TeensyEmilie Rackovan and April WeberWith round-the-clock care and close monitoring, Teensy slowly turned a corner. Once she began gaining weight and strength, her personality blossomed.
