DC Police to Increase Cooperation with ICE

Washington, D.C., Police Chief Pamela Smith has ordered officers to share information with federal immigration authorities and provide transport for agents and detainees, a shift from the city’s long-standing non-cooperation policy.

The move comes as President Trump’s 30-day federal law enforcement takeover of the capital rolls out, with National Guard troops stationed at landmarks and checkpoints.

Federal and local officers made 45 arrests Wednesday night, including 29 for immigration violations. Homeless encampments are being cleared, with officials saying removals will intensify in the coming days.

Newsom Calls Vote on New Congressional Map

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that California will hold a Nov. 4 special election seeking voter approval of a new congressional map designed to give Democrats five additional U.S. House seats in 2026.

A recent poll found 64% of Californians oppose Newsom’s plan and want to keep the state’s independent redistricting commission, while 36% support returning map-drawing power to lawmakers.

The plan is aimed at countering a Texas GOP proposal to add five Republican seats, which prompted Texas Democrats to flee the state. They have said they will return Friday if certain conditions are met.

List: Most Dominant Industries by State

New data shows real estate is the largest industry in 26 states, including California, Florida, and most of the East Coast. Manufacturing ranks second, topping GDP in 13 states.

Finance and insurance lead in just four states, including New York and South Dakota, while mining is dominant in three—Wyoming, West Virginia, and North Dakota.

Government tops the economy in D.C. and Oklahoma, and just one state each is led by professional services (Massachusetts), information (Washington), or transportation (Alaska). See your state here.

Doctor’s Father Had Heart Surgery at 55… Now He’s Made a Discovery That Changes Everything

Dr. George Karanastasis watched his father barely survive quadruple bypass surgery when he was just 17 years old. Despite being a trained physician who did everything “right,” exercising, eating clean, his own cholesterol kept climbing.

That’s when he stumbled across a breakthrough clinical study from Italy. Researchers discovered that a forgotten natural compound could reverse arterial aging in six months.

“Six months after I started taking this, my cardiologist couldn’t believe my test results. Neither could I.”

Now, Dr. K has put together a presentation sharing this discovery. It’s quickly going viral with over 46,000 views. He warns: “This information challenges everything we’ve been taught about cholesterol. It may be years before this becomes mainstream practice.”
