The legal defense fund for Luigi Mangione , the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , has amassed over $200,000 in donations. The outpouring of support has raised alarms among law enforcement officials who fear the suspect is being idolized. A crowdfunding campaign on GiveSendGo was launched by a group calling itself “The December 4th Legal Committee,” referencing the date of Thompson’s killing in Midtown Manhattan. Mangione is accused of ambushing and fatally shooting Thompson as he walked to a shareholders’ meeting. The campaign claims to support Mangione’s “constitutional right to fair legal representation” and has attracted thousands of donors, many of whom left supportive messages. The fundraiser previously hit $50,000 in donations by Dec. 12 and has continued to elevate toward a $500,000 "goal," according to the GiveSendGo page. One anonymous donor contributed $10, writing: “This is for a young-adult family member who believes in the fight against big U.S. now international insurance companies who use unfair denial of claims to people in need to increase their profits and profitability.” Another donor simply commented, “Eat the rich!” alongside their $10 contribution. GiveSendGo defended its decision to host the campaign in a press statement, stating, “We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to access due process.” However, other platforms, including GoFundMe, have taken down similar campaigns, citing violations of terms prohibiting fundraising for violent crimes. The surge in donations comes as Mangione faces state and federal charges, including terrorism and first-degree murder. Federal prosecutors are pursuing charges that could result in the death penalty. Despite the severity of the allegations, Mangione’s supporters appear undeterred, with some lauding him as a symbol of resistance against corporate greed. Mangione pleaded not guilty Monday during his arraignment in Manhattan Supreme Court. His attorney, Karen Friedman Angifilo, criticized the heavy-handed treatment of her client, calling it a "political spectacle," referring to heavy police presence and perp walk that took place for Mangione's separate federal charges last week. Outside the state courthouse Monday, dozens of supporters, including a group of young women, gathered in frigid weather to show solidarity. Law enforcement officials are increasingly concerned about the glorification of Mangione. Meanwhile, the discourse has served as a callback to other high-profile criminal cases that initially garnered public sympathy, such as the Unabomber case and the Olympic Park Bomber case. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER A recent intelligence bulletin warned of growing online rhetoric supporting violence against CEOs, including the spread of “hit lists” and banners displaying the phrase “Deny, Defend, Depose,” which police say was etched into shell casings found at the crime scene where Thompson was shot and killed. “It's deeply disturbing,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. "And what I would say to members of the public, people who, as you described, are celebrating this and maybe contemplating other action, that we will be vigilant and we will hold people accountable."The holidays have brought an extra dose of joy to the family of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore . Their daughter Tallulah Willis recently announced her engagement to musician Justin Acee . The 30-year-old shared the exciting news on social media, giving followers a glimpse of the stunning engagement ring that seals their commitment. Justin Acee popped the question during a cozy stay at his family home in Idaho. Though Tallulah kept many details of the proposal private, a video shared by Justin offered a look at the heartwarming setup. The room was adorned with a trail of red rose petals illuminated by candles, leading to a fireplace where Justin got down on one knee to profess his love. Of course, Tallulah said yes! The newly engaged couple marked the occasion with photos, including a close-up of her engagement ring—a diamond band set in yellow gold that Tallulah proudly displayed in her post. She captioned her gallery of images simply with the words "every day" and tagged her new fiancé. Jennifer Garner sparks engagement rumors with new ring Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are getting married! Here's an estimate of her engagement ring Simone Biles: all about the engagement ring valued at more than 300 thousand dollars A Family Filled With Love The Willis-Moore family was quick to celebrate the happy news. Rumer Willis , Tallulah's older sister, expressed her joy with a heartfelt comment: "The most beautiful love to witness and watch grow. I love you both so much. Justin I’m so lucky I get to call you my brother. Baby Lula my gift my queen my heart is so full. Obsessed with you both." Rumer also shared a congratulatory photo of the couple on her Instagram Stories. At the same time, middle sister Scout Willis chimed in with her excitement, posting: "My angels are engaged," along with a ring and crying face emoji. A Second Chance at Forever This isn't the first time Tallulah has celebrated an engagement. In 2021, she was briefly engaged to Dillon Buss , who proposed with an emerald-cut diamond ring. While that chapter didn't lead to forever, Justin's thoughtful proposal and the similarities in her new ring reflect her enduring tastes and readiness to embrace love again. As the family gathers to celebrate the holidays, they now have one more reason to toast to joy and togetherness. Congratulations to Tallulah and Justin on this exciting new chapter! Can Bruce Willis attend their wedding? In December 2024, Demi Moore opened up about Bruce Willis' health. The "Substance" star gave an update on her ex-husband's aphasia diagnosis, whichled him to have frontotemporal dementia. The former couple, which remained close following their split, share three daughters, 36-year-old Rumer, 33-year-old Scout, and 30-year-old Tallulah. "Given the givens, he's in a very stable place at the moment," the actress revealed during an interview with CNN . "And I've shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely: It's so important for anybody who's dealing with this to really meet them where they're at," she added. "And from that place, there is such loving and joy," Demi said, explaining that his health situation is "very difficult" and "not what I would wish upon anyone," as it also comes with a "great loss." "But there is also great beauty and gifts that can come out of it," the actress declared. "That has been very important to me even from when Bruce and I separated and divorced, is the recognition that we're a family, and we'll always be a family, just in a different form," she said. .
Washington — Tech leaders and companies are shelling out big bucks to President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund, as they prepare for the next four years of a Trump White House. Amazon, run by billionaire Jeff Bezos, intends to donate $1 million to the president-elect's inaugural fund and will stream the ceremony on Prime, amounting to another $1 million in-kind donation, according to a source familiar with the donations. The Wall Street Journal first reported Amazon's plans. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta , the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, also plans to send $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump's inaugural fund, according to an OpenAI spokesperson. Fox News Digital first reported Altman's intended donation. "President Trump will lead our country into the age of AI, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead," Altman said in a statement. Elon Musk , the world's richest man and CEO of X, Tesla and SpaceX, has become a regular presence by Trump's side at Mar-a-Lago, and spent $277 million to help get Trump elected. CBS News has also reached out to Reddit, as well as major corporations who have donated to inaugural funds in the past, including Walmart, Home Depot and Target, for information about their plans. According to a source at Google, the company donated $285,000 to Biden's inaugural fund four years ago. Google has not announced plans, so far, to donate to Trump's. The Information , a tech news site, and The Wall Street Journal reported that Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, had plans to meet with Trump. Tech company CEOs have been going to see Trump at Mar-a-Lago after years of watching his tone and stance change, or at least soften, after in-person meetings. Trump told CNBC in a Thursday interview that Bezos would visit him "next week." Bezos also owns the Washington Post, which declined to endorse a candidate in this year's presidential election, breaking with the paper's past precedent. "Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election," Bezos wrote at the time. Trump's relationship with social media and tech companies has, in the past, been tenuous if not downright hostile. During Trump's first term in the White House, he frequently blasted Bezos and Amazon, accusing the company of "doing great damage" to retailers and hurting "towns, cities and states throughout the U.S." He's insisted that Amazon should pay more for U.S. Postal Service deliveries. But Trump has dialed back his public hostility toward the company, and Bezos — who previously said Trump's treatment of Hillary Clinton in 2016 and refusal to accept the election results in 2020 "erodes our democracy around the edges" — has softened, too. Speaking at a New York Times DealBook Summit recently, Bezos said he's "very optimistic" about a second Trump term. "What I've seen so far is he is calmer than he was the first time and more settled," Bezos said. "You've probably grown in the last eight years. He has, too." Both X (which was called Twitter at the time) and Facebook prohibited Trump from posting to their platforms after hundreds of Trump supporters assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump did little to try to stop them. Musk reinstated Trump's X account in November 2022 after taking over the company, although Trump has largely posted to his own social media platform, Truth Social. Facebook and Instagram restored Trump's accounts in early 2023. Tech CEOs weren't so eager to donate to Trump's first inaugural committee after his 2016 victory. For Trump's 2017 inauguration , which raised an eye-popping $107 million, his biggest donors were largely affiliated with sports teams, casinos, venture capital firms and banks. His most generous donor, at $5 million, was the late Las Vegas Sands founder Sheldon Adelson, who died in 2021. But, other than GoDaddy.com founder Bob Parsons, the leaders of big-name tech companies weren't giving $1 million to Trump the first time around. Trump's inaugural committee, officially known as the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) entity that's responsible for planning inaugural events, and can accept limitless donations. Trump allies former Sen. Kelly Loeffler and investor Steve Witkoff are the committee's co-chairs. When he announced his inaugural committee and co-chairs, Trump said the committee will "honor" the "magnificent victory" he and his team had to kick off his administration. Inaugural committees add the pomp and circumstance to an inauguration, but not at taxpayers' expense. They also offer a way for donors to curry favor with an incoming administration. Donors who give $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee can expect not only tickets but face-time with the incoming president and vice president, as well as Cabinet officials. A president-elect's inaugural committee is different from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, established by Congress, which is underwritten by taxpayers. The congressional committee, composed of members of both parties, plans and carries out the swearing-in ceremony, as well as an inaugural luncheon for the president and vice president at the Capitol. The presidential committee is responsible for all events other than those taking place at the Capitol. Only about $3.7 million was appropriated for the committee for the 2025 inauguration, according to the Congressional Research Service , but taxpayers will be spending more than that. The conservative National Taxpayers Union Foundation estimated that the 2021 inauguration, not counting the security lockdown following the Jan. 6 Capitol assault, cost at least $73 million.

CLEMSON 75, PENN STATE 6719.12.2024 – 20:25 Sentrycs Tel Aviv, Israel (ots/PRNewswire) Sentrycs Concludes a Year of Record Growth with its C-UAS Technology Capable of Addressing the Growing Drone Threat Across Four Continents Sentrycs, a technology leader in the Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) industry, announced today its continued progress globally within the public safety market. The company recently closed agreements with two new law enforcement organizations, including one in North America. These new agreements will deliver core protocol manipulation sensor solutions across a wide variety of scenarios, from fixed sites to vehicle-mounted (mobile) operations. The deals mark another significant milestone for the company, which has seen its business quadruple, year over year, along with continued adoption of its pioneering technology which is now deployed across sensitive facilities and strategic assets worldwide. The company has seen a noticeable spike in C-UAS interest heading into 2025, especially as in recent weeks, concerns have grown over unexplained drone sightings throughout several east coast states in the US. These sightings have prompted calls from both officials and citizens for swift action to identify and mitigate these mysterious flights. Unregulated or malicious drone activity poses significant risks to public safety and critical infrastructure, ranging from unauthorized surveillance and smuggling to potential terrorist threats where commercially available drones can quickly and inexpensively be weaponized. Addressing these challenges requires sophisticated solutions capable of countering such threats effectively while ensuring no interference with other communication systems that rely on the same frequency bands as the drones themselves. Sentrycs' solution is one of the few available technologies that addresses these challenges head-on, offering reliable and field-proven capability designed to safeguard public safety with no collateral damage. Leveraging proprietary technology, Sentrycs' passively detects, identifies and tracks drones, significantly reducing the possibility of false detections, a constant challenge encountered with other technologies. The platform also allows the operator to mitigate (or neutralize) the drone in seconds, directing it to a designated safe landing spot or returning the device to its original home location, avoiding the need for kinetic engagements that often cause collateral damage. "Recent events here in the US, specifically those in New Jersey really highlight the need to monitor unregulated drone activity, as it poses significant risks to public safety and critical infrastructure. Every single day our technology is supporting missions to monitor or mitigate illegal drone activity. Our global footprint means we address a variety of threats from ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) to enable human trafficking and drug smuggling, to even improvised explosive devices being delivered by the drones themselves" said Jason Moore, Chief Revenue Officer at Sentrycs. "Addressing these challenges demands sophisticated solutions that counter such threats immediately and effectively without interfering with critical communication systems or causing collateral damage" About Sentrycs Founded in 2017, Sentrycs is a leader in integrated Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) technology, providing innovative solutions for drone threat detection and mitigation. The company is dedicated to advancing C-UAS technology through continuous research and development, ensuring its products remain at the forefront of the industry. With its solutions deployed across four continents, Sentrycs is committed to safeguarding public safety and critical infrastructure worldwide.

Writer-director Trivikram Srinivas went to Nampally criminal court where Allu was produced after his arrest and spoke in support. Top producer Dil Raju was at Chikkadpally police station after police arrested Allu. He, however, refused to speak to the media. Actor Nani took to social media, saying: "We are all at fault here. One person is not responsible for this. I wish the kind of enthusiasm govt authorities and media show in anything related to people from cinema was also there for common citizens. Then we can all live in a better society". Balakrishna, actor and MLA of Andhra Pradesh's governing TDP, joined the chorus for Allu, terming his arrest "an act of injustice". "We will stand with Allu Arjun at this time," Balakrishna said. Actor Rahul Ramakrishna dubbed Allu's arrest "a tactic of the state to lay blame easily on soft targets like film celebrity figures". "The failure of law and order is not one man's fault or responsibility. Aren't cinemas and theatres public spaces? Isn't an individual allowed to visit one according to their choice? Regardless of the star's appearance and the tragic incident, why did police let such a huge crowd run amok in the first place?" Ramakrishna wrote.
