“Ten years ago, who would have imagined that the owner of one of the world’s largest social networks would be supporting a new international reactionary movement and intervening directly in elections, including in Germany,” Macron said.

"It is disgraceful that Keir Starmer is smearing people who are concerned about rape gangs as jumping on a “far right” bandwagon, rather than facing up to his own record on this and reconsidering his refusal as prime minister to hold a full national inquiry. As Kemi Badenoch said yesterday, a new inquiry must go beyond previous inquiries and focus specifically on the institutional and political failings that enabled the systematic and barbaric attacks to take place. If Keir Starmer can’t see why people across the UK are keen to have these questions answered and proper accountability for the victims of this heinous scandal, it just shows how out of touch he really is."

"We have not only the persistent threat of foreign terrorism -- that, of course, created the Department of Homeland Security -- but we have adverse nation-states, and for the past 10 years, we've seen a significant increase in what we term 'homegrown violent extremism,'" Mayorkas told anchor George Stephanopoulos. "It is a very difficult threat landscape, and it is why that we as a community -- not just the federal government, but state and local officials and residents -- need to be alert to it and take the precautions necessary to avoid violence from occurring."

A British man by the name of Edward Pettifer is also among the confirmed victims. Pettifer, 31, from London, England, was the stepson of Prince William and Prince Harry’s former nanny, Alexandra Pettifer—more widely known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke. “Catherine and I have been shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Ed Pettifer,” Prince William posted on X via the official Kensington Palace account. “Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Pettifer family and all those innocent people who have been tragically impacted by this horrific attack.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass launched an initiative to provide more resources for unhoused veterans. This comes after a regulatory change in the state allowing veterans to apply for both disability benefits and housing assistance. Previous regulations required veterans to choose between the two. “For too long, too many in government have accepted people living on the street,” Bass said. “I do not accept the humanitarian crisis on our streets, especially when it comes to Angelenos who have served and sacrificed their bodies for our country.”

"Kinzinger had only a split second to decide whether to intervene and risk his own life — a decision that, he admits, didn’t come easily. “They say in a crisis half of the people run, 40% freeze and 10% act. I felt every one of those emotions,” he says. “If someone would have whispered ‘Run’ to me, I would have run.” Ultimately, his conscience wouldn’t let him walk away. “There were two immediate thoughts that went through my head. The first one was, ‘If I act, I’m gonna die.’ The second was, ‘If I watch this lady die, and I do nothing, I can’t live with myself for the rest of my life.’ ”. Kinzinger engaged in a tense struggle with the attacker that he describes as a "close grapple." “I had his knife hand and I remember consciously feeling the knife hand trying to stab me,” he says. “It’s not a matter of pride now, it’s a matter of life to win.” After successfully pinning the man to the ground and waiting for police to arrive, Kinzinger was able to walk away, but it took months for him to process what had occurred. “I [had] blood all over me. The shirt that had all the blood, I could not bring myself to wash it for some reason,” he says. “It stayed in a corner in my room and then it was about two or three months later I started realizing I had some PTSD from it… That moment on that street in Milwaukee utterly changed my life.”

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz shared his approach to dealing with tech mogul Elon Musk who lately has traded barbs with German politicians, saying it is wise to not “feed the troll.” “There are a lot of people on social media who want to attract attention with snappy slogans,” Scholz said in an interview with German magazine Stern published on Saturday. “I don’t believe in courting Mr. Musk’s favor,” he added. “I’m happy to leave that to others.” Scholz emphasized that “as Social Democrats, we have been used to the fact that there are rich media entrepreneurs who do not appreciate Social Democratic politics — and do not hide their opinions.”
