New York Rep. Jerry Nadler says DHS agent handcuffed his staff member at congressional office
New York Rep. Jerry Nadler says a member of his staff was handcuffed by a Department of Homeland Security agent at his congressional office Wednesday. The incident was caught on video. According to a DHS spokesperson, Federal Protective Service officers were responding to reports that protesters were inside Nadler's district office in Manhattan. "Upon arrival, officers were granted entry and encountered four individuals. Officers identified themselves and explained their intent to conduct a security check, however, one individual became verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office. The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check. All were released without further incident," DHS said in a statement. In a statement released Saturday, Nadler said the DHS agents "forcefully" entered his office and handcuffed a member of his staff. "The decision to enter a Congressional office and detain a staff member demonstrates a deeply troubling disregard for proper legal boundaries. If this can happen in a Member of Congress's office, it can happen to anyone–and it is happening," Nadler said, in part. In the statement, Nadler accuses President Trump and the DHS of "sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidation tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner," and calls on both the president and the agency to stop using what he calls "dangerous tactics." Nadler said no arrests were made and "the situation was quickly deescalated."

'No Active Mediation': Shashi Tharoor Echoes Govt, Denies Trump or US Role in Op Sindoor Ceasefire
'No Active Mediation': Shashi Tharoor Echoes Govt, Denies Trump or US Role in Op Sindoor Ceasefire Source: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has dismissed US President Donald Trump's claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The operation followed India's decisive strike on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK after the Pahalgam massacre. While some in Tharoor's own party question the Modi government's ceasefire strategy, the senior Congress leader echoed the government's stance, clarifying that no country actively mediated the de-escalation. Tharoor stated that several countries, including the US, France, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, contacted India, and India consistently conveyed it had no intention to escalate unless provoked.#operationsindoor #shashitharoor #trumpceasefireclaim #indiapakistanstandoff #pahalgamattack #modigovt #congress #trumpclaim #indiausrelations #ceasefirereality #nopakmediation #indiapakstandoff #globaldiplomacy #toibharat

Biden White House aides face Oversight deadline amid threat of subpoenas
Today is the deadline for President Joe Biden's former White House physician and four aides to respond to House Oversight Committee interview requests. Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is demanding the high-ranking staffers in former President Joe Biden's White House appear for transcribed interviews on their suspected roles, working "behind the scenes" to "cover up" the former president's mental decline during his term. Comer sent interview requests to four key Biden White House aides — former director of the Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, former assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, former senior adviser to the first lady Anthony Bernal and former deputy director of Oval Office operations Ashley Williams. FOX is told lawyers for Neera Tanden, Anthony Bernal, Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams have contacted the committee, but no interviews are confirmed or scheduled. So far, there's been no contact with physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor. While the Bidens have stayed silent on the latest congressional probe, Jill Biden's former press secretary is pushing back. With regards to Chairman spent two years trying to take on the Biden family and came up with nothing. He went fishing in a dry lake," said Michael LaRosa. If they don't commit by day's end, the committee said it is ready to issue subpoenas immediately. "We believe these are the staffers that were responsible for using the autopen... We want to ask them, 'Who gave you the authority to use Joe Biden's signature?'" Comer said on "Hannity."
