Man Hospitalized After Early Morning Shooting Near Ohio State Campus

A man was hospitalized after an early morning shooting in Columbusโ€™ University District on Friday.

Senate Republicans Clash with Speaker Mike Johnson Over DHS Funding

Senate Republicans Clash with Speaker Mike Johnson Over DHS Funding

Senate Republicans are increasingly getting frustrated with House Speaker Mike Johnsonโ€™s decision to delay a vote on a Senate-approved bill aimed at funding most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The delay is raising concerns that the White House may soon run out of funds to pay federal workers impacted by the ongoing partial government shutdown.

While GOP senators have avoided publicly criticizing Johnson and House conservatives, tensions are rising behind the scenes. Lawmakers warn that without swift congressional action, the administration may lose the ability to continue paying key Homeland Security personnel, including workers at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Coast Guard, and other essential agencies.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) urged the House to act quickly on the Senate-passed funding package, which was approved unanimously before Easter. The bill funds most DHS operations but excludes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.

According to Murkowski, advancing the Senate bill would be the fastest and most practical solution to end the two-month stalemate over DHS funding. She acknowledged growing frustration among Senate Republicans over the Houseโ€™s inaction, noting that the proposal was intended as a targeted and efficient fix to the shutdown.

Tulsi Gabbard Sends Criminal Referral Over Trump’s 2019 Impeachment to The Justice Department

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard refers whistleblower case tied to Trumpโ€™s 2019 impeachment to the Justice Department, releasing documents alleging misconduct.

Tulsi Gabbard Sends Criminal Referral Over Trump’s 2019 Impeachment to The Justice Department

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has submitted one criminal referral to the Justice Department, requesting an investigation into a whistleblower complaint and how it was handled by the intelligence community watchdog. The complaint played a key role in the 2019 impeachment of President Donald Trump, according to a spokesperson for Gabbardโ€™s office on Wednesday.

In support of the referral, Gabbard recently declassified and released documents she claims reveal a โ€œconspiracyโ€ by Congress to impeach Trump. Her office argues the materials show that then-Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson failed to follow proper procedures in processing the whistleblower complaint.

The released records include transcripts of Atkinsonโ€™s 2019 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, along with notes from interviews conducted with the whistleblower.

The existence of the referral was first reported by Fox News. Atkinson, who served 15 years at the Justice Department before becoming inspector general from 2018 to 2020, had been widely regarded as credible. His reputation previously led some skeptical lawmakers to take the whistleblower allegations seriously.

Trump dismissed Atkinson in April 2020, a move that raised concerns among critics who feared it could undermine the independence of government watchdogs.

During her tenure, Gabbard has echoed Trumpโ€™s longstanding claims that he was wrongly accused of ties between his campaign and Russia. In recent months, she has worked alongside CIA Director John Ratcliffe to release documents challenging the 2017 intelligence assessment that concluded Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election to benefit Trump.

Ratcliffe has also issued a separate criminal referral targeting former CIA Director John Brennan.

An Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) spokesperson confirmed the referral involves one or more former intelligence officials and their actions related to Trumpโ€™s impeachment.

Speaking to NewsNation, Gabbard said she would leave it to legal experts and the Justice Department to determine whether any laws were violated. She emphasized that her office submitted all available information to allow a full investigation.

Meanwhile, Rep. Jim Himes, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, criticized the move. He argued the referral lacks merit and warned it could discourage future whistleblowers from coming forward, suggesting that may be its intended effect.

Separately, Gabbard herself has faced a whistleblower complaint in recent months. The current intelligence community inspector general informed Congress last year of allegations that a highly classified intelligence report had been restricted for political reasons. Gabbard has denied those claims.

Whitehall sets recall election date for 3 Whitehouse City Officials

Whitehall sets recall election date for 3 Whitehouse City Officials

The Whitehall City Council has officially scheduled a special recall election following days of tense debate, setting the stage for voters to decide the political future of Mayor Michael Bivens and councilmembers Lori Elmore and Amy Harcar.

During a contentious special meeting on Tuesday night, councilmembers voted 4-3 to hold the election on Thursday, May 28. The decision went against the recommendation of the Franklin County Board of Elections, which had advised setting the vote for Tuesday, May 26, in line with traditional election scheduling.

Board of Elections Director Antone White emphasized that Tuesday elections are standard and more familiar to voters. However, some councilmembers pushed for the later date, citing concerns from residents about voting immediately after the Memorial Day holiday.

Elmore criticized the move, arguing that shifting the election to a Thursday could create confusion among voters. In contrast, Harcar dismissed concerns about timing, suggesting that most voters have already made up their minds regardless of the date.

Councilmember Larry Morrison, who introduced the May 28 proposal, said he was responding to feedback from constituents uneasy about voting right after the holiday weekend. Meanwhile, councilmember Gerald Dixon defended the councilโ€™s authority to revisit and decide the election date through debate and majority vote.

Election officials warned that moving the election to Thursday will reduce early voting by two days due to the shortened timeline. Despite this, absentee voting by mail will still be available, though requests must be submitted by May 21.

The recall effort itself has sparked further division. Harcar suggested her advocacy work with immigrant communities has contributed to the push against her. Petition organizers, however, have pointed to broader concerns, including leadership decisions, transparency, community development, and fiscal management.

Mayor Bivens did not attend the meeting, but Elmore defended his record, disputing claims made by recall supporters. She highlighted the cityโ€™s financial position, noting a $1.5 million budget stabilization fund alongside a $5.7 million operating budget.

All five polling locations in Whitehall will be open on Election Day. However, voter registration has already closed, meaning only currently registered voters will be eligible to participate in the upcoming recall election.

Johnny Somali Sentenced to 6 Months in South Korea Over Controversial Livestream Stunt

Johnny Somali Sentenced to 6 Months in South Korea Over Controversial Livestream Stunt

American livestreamer Johnny Somali has been sentenced to six months in prison in South Korea after sparking widespread outrage for inappropriate behavior at a memorial statue honoring victims of wartime sexual slavery.

Authorities in Seoul charged the 25-year-old in November 2024 with public nuisance after he uploaded a video showing himself kissing the statue and performing suggestive acts in front of it during his visit to the country. Since then, he has been prohibited from leaving South Korea.

Somali, whose real name is Ismael Ramsey Khalid, is widely known for creating controversial online content that has led to bans from multiple streaming platforms. He has also faced accusations of harassing individuals while traveling in countries such as Japan and Israel.

On Wednesday, a South Korean court found Khalid guilty on several counts, including public nuisance and the distribution of sexually explicit deepfake content. According to local media reports, the court stated that he repeatedly committed offenses targeting the general public in pursuit of online profit, while disregarding Korean laws.

Although prosecutors had requested a three-year prison sentence, the court imposed a reduced term, citing a lack of significant harm to specific victims.

In addition to his prison sentence, Khalid will be restricted from working with organizations that support minors and individuals with disabilities after his release.

The statue involved represents the estimated 200,000 women across Asia who were forced into sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers during World War II. Many of the victims were Korean, while others came from countries including China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Taiwan.

Such statues, often depicting a young seated woman, have been erected across South Korea to honor these victims, commonly referred to as โ€œcomfort women.โ€ They remain a sensitive symbol and have historically contributed to diplomatic tensions between South Korea and Japan, particularly over unresolved demands for reparations.

Khalid previously issued an apology in November 2024, claiming he was unaware of the statueโ€™s historical significance, though many online users questioned the sincerity of his statement.

During the investigation period, he continued to attract controversy, at times provoking locals and appearing in videos where he was chased or physically confronted.

His past behavior includes causing disturbances on public transportation, vandalizing a convenience store, and broadcasting explicit content in public spaces.

Earlier in 2024, Khalid was briefly detained in Tel Aviv after making inappropriate remarks toward a female police officer during a protest, though he was later released.

In 2023, while in Japan, he drew criticism for offensive comments related to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was later fined 200,000 yen (approximately $1,400) for disrupting a restaurant by playing loud music.

US Plans Iran Port Blockade as Strait of Hormuz Tensions Escalate

The U.S. military has announced plans to blockade all Iranian ports beginning Monday, escalating tensions with Tehran amid ongoing efforts to reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz and secure a broader peace agreement.

In response, Iran issued warnings targeting ports across the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, including those operated by U.S. allies. The exchange of threats has heightened fears of a major regional confrontation with potential global economic consequences.

The standoff comes as fragile ceasefire conditions remain in place following a conflict that began on Feb. 28, when U.S. and Israeli forces launched strikes on Iran. Diplomatic talks over the weekend aimed at ending the conflict failed to produce a breakthrough, and it remains unclear whether negotiations will resume.

As of 10 a.m. EDT (2 p.m. GMT), it was uncertain whether the U.S. blockade had officially begun. A maritime advisory issued by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency indicated that the restrictions could extend across Iranโ€™s entire coastline, including key ports and energy infrastructure.

1 person is Dead after Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash on I-270 Southwest in Columbus

1 person has died following a multi-vehicle crash in southwest Columbus early Monday morning.

According to authorities, the crash occurred at approximately 2:41 a.m. along Interstate 270 South near Georgesville Road. Officers responding to the scene confirmed that one individual was pronounced dead, while another was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Investigators with the Columbus Division of Police reported that the incident began as two adults were attempting to change a tire on a minivan parked on the left shoulder of the interstate. A separate sedan was positioned about 50 feet behind the minivan, with a woman seated inside.

At the same time, a driver operating an Audi A4 reportedly lost control of the vehicle. The car veered off the roadway, collided with the rear of the sedan, and forced it into the minivan.

The driver of the sedan, identified as 45-year-old Jodi Tackett, was pronounced dead at the scene. One of the individuals assisting with the tire change was also struck during the crash and remains in critical condition.

Police say the Audi had been traveling in the wrong direction on the interstate before the driver corrected course shortly before the crash. Following the collision, the driver allegedly attempted to flee but was apprehended a short distance away on Georgesville Square Drive.

Interstate 270 South was shut down for several hours during the investigation and reopened around 7:15 a.m.

Authorities have not yet released the name of the suspect as the investigation remains ongoing.

US and Iran Fail to Reach Peace Agreement After 21 Hours of Talks in Pakistan

U.S. Vice President JD Vance announced on Sunday that 21 hours of peace negotiations held in Pakistan between the United States and Iran ended without a deal to stop the ongoing conflict. The outcome leaves uncertainty over what will happen once the current two-week ceasefire expires.

Speaking at a brief press conference in Islamabad, Vance stated that Iran had declined to agree to the proposed terms, though he noted that discussions could still continue.

โ€œThey have chosen not to accept our terms,โ€ Vance said, emphasizing that the U.S. has presented what he described as its โ€œfinal and best offer.โ€ He added that the next move now depends on whether Iran decides to accept the proposal.

I-71 Shut Down following Fiery Crash in Delaware County

Both northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 71 were closed Saturday evening after a severe multi-vehicle accident at the US-36/SR-37 interchange.

The crash occurred around 6:27 p.m. and involved a total of 12 vehicles, including a semi-truck, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Authorities reported that the collision led to a fire at the scene, intensifying the situation and prompting a full closure of the interstate.

Emergency responders transported three individuals to nearby hospitals. Their conditions have not yet been released.

A witness, Carissa Shaw, described the incident as shocking and chaotic. She recalled seeing a semi-truck traveling northbound collide with multiple vehicles before veering toward the median.

โ€œI watched the semi crashing into cars and heading toward the median beside me. Flames suddenly erupted into the air,โ€ Shaw said. โ€œIt felt surreal, like everything was happening in slow motion. People rushed to help a red car near me, but the driverโ€™s side was completely crushed.โ€

The Ohio Department of Transportation is advising motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes as crews continue to manage the aftermath of the crash.
