Trump: Folie à Deux (US Politics Thread)
Another day, another shooting near White House. Gunman shot dead by Secret Service, thought to be a mental case and known to them. From BBC News. A suspect who shot at a White House checkpoint was killed in an exchange of fire with Secret Service agents on Saturday evening, officials have confirmed. The BBC's US media partner CBS has named the suspect as Nasire Best, a 21-year-old man who was known to the protection agency and had a documented history of mental health conditions. US President Donald Trump thanked the officers for their "swift and professional action" in apprehending the gunman, who he said in a Truth social post had a "violent history and possible obsession with our Country's most cherished structure". The shooting comes only a month after a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The incident on Saturday remains under investigation and road closures around the White House will likely stay in place overnight. Shortly before 18:00 local time (23:00 GMT), a man pulled a gun from his bag and "began firing" outside the White House at the intersection of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington DC, near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Secret Service officers posted on the corner returned fire, striking the gunman. He was then taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A bystander was also wounded in the shooting, but the Secret Service did not give further details on their condition. No officers were injured in the attack. Trump was at the White House at the time, but "no protectees or operations were impacted", the agency said. The suspect was later identified in US media as Best, who had been known to both the Secret Service and the Metropolitan Police Department and had used a revolver, law enforcement sources told CBS. A source familiar with the investigation told CBS that Best had attempted to gain entry to the White House in July 2025 and had been arrested by officers nearby, after which he spent time at a psychiatric facility.

Scott Mills to sue BBC for unfair dismissal.
According to The Mirror. If he has a good case then good luck to him. Daily MirrorScott Mills to sue the BBC over shock Radio 2 sacking in...Scott Mills has enlisted lawyers to sue the BBC after they sacked him in relation to a police investigation concerning an underage boy, the Mirror can reveal Axed star Scott Mills is set to sue the BBC for unfair dismissal after his shock sacking, the Mirror can exclusively reveal. The DJ has enlisted top laywers to lodge a case against the BBC. It's understood he will claim that he disclosed the full details of the cop probe - including the accuser’s age - to BBC Radio 1 bosses at the time. The BBC has previously said that they knew about the investigation but that "new information” came to light which sources claim was the fact the accuser was under 16. But it's understood Mills will argue that this was all raised at the time to Radio 1. A source said: "It's going to get very messy indeed." Mills was interviewed by police in 2018 under caution after being accused of serious sexual offences against a boy under the age of 16. A full file was sent to the CPS, who said there was not enough evidence to charge him.

So who's going to give up their seat for Andy then? Nobody at present but rumours persist tonight that a Manchester MP with a big majority may retire. Burnham may not even win it as Reform would throw everything at it.

2026 US/Israel war with Iran, Supreme Leader dead
The 25th won't work. Needs a 75% majority and they won't get it. The BBC also says if the Military refuse to carry out his orders he'll just sack all the top ones and replace them with ones that will. If Vance initiated it he'd take over, temporarily, but if they lost then Trump would be re-instated. The best you can hope for is the grim reaper...he looked well last night though, ranting at his press conference. He wants to help re-build Iran too.

Yes but who's likely to arrest him? He knows that no-one will. He's just said that a whole civilization is about to die tonight. Will he drop a small nuke?

I don't think he'll bomb Iran at all. They'll reach an agreement and open the Straits. They won't risk Trump obliterating them.

Shocking - baby girl shot dead on NY street.
This is awful. To kill a baby out with mum. From The Sun. A SEVEN-MONTH-OLD baby being pushed by her mom in a stroller has been fatally shot to death after bullets rang out on the street, according to reports. An urgent hunt for two masked men is underway after the gunfire unfolded in New York City in broad daylight on Wednesday afternoon. The devastating shooting unfolded around 1:20pm in Bushwick, Brooklyn, which borders Ridgewood, Queens, city officials have confirmed. After gunfire was heard, terrified witnesses ran for their lives, with the mom screaming “My baby! My Baby” before she darted into a nearby deli, a witness told News 12 Brooklyn. When the mom got inside, she realized her baby was bleeding after being struck in the head, and the infant was rushed to a nearby hospital by her dad, police sources told CBS News. Detectives are searching for two men who were caught rushing away on a scooter, with one appearing to be pointing a pistol as they left. The moped being driven by the men has been found abandoned by police. A witness, who said he was hit by gunfire, has described the chaotic scene after the attack. “I thought it was fireworks, but then they hit me on my leg. I got metal pieces in my leg,” the witness told CBS News. “The family went to the store and the mom started screaming. The baby looked lifeless and was obviously dead. The father picked up the baby and ran to the hospital.” An off duty female cop out with her family returned fire but to no avail. The victim is not thought to be known to the men but this still needs clarifing said NYPD. A shocked President Trump said he had spoken to the NY Governor and that this was a cowardly despicable act to kill an innocent baby and to be rest assured that we will hunt these men down
