Baby Emmanuel’s father Jake Haro sentenced to decades in prison for 7-month-old son’s murder in faked disappearance case

Jake Haro has been sentenced to 25 years to life in California state prison for the murder of his seven-month-old son Emmanuel, a child the family originally claimed was kidnapped in August, setting off a sweeping missing person search.
Haro, 32, dabbed at tears in a Riverside County courthouse on Monday as the judge read out the sentence for the “senseless assault and murder” that claimed Emmanuel’s life.
“While no sentence can possible vindicate the loss of innocence and life at the hands of Mr. Haro, a man who was supposed to protect these precious and defenseless children against evil and harm, the sentence here is the most the court can do to ensure that as much justice is done as possible,” the judge said.
Emmanuel’s maternal grandmother, Mary Beushausen, told the court the baby’s death had “destroyed my whole family.” She faulted the justice system for giving Haro a “second chance” after a 2023 conviction for willful cruelty against his child from a previous marriage, which resu..

Trump administration will tap emergency fund to pay partial food stamp benefits

Trump administration will tap emergency fund to pay partial food stamp benefits5 hours agoShareSaveAna FaguyShareSaveGetty ImagesUS President Donald Trump's administration has said it will provide reduced food aid to more than 42 million Americans, as the government shutdown this week heads towards becoming the longest ever with no resolution in sight.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a court filing that Americans who receive food assistance will get half their normal monthly allotment, after the government dipped into emergency funding.
Judges had given the Trump administration until Monday to provide a plan for how it would pay out Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) benefits, also known as food stamps.
Funding for the programme has been in limbo due to the more-than-month-long shutdown.
While individual US states administer the benefits, the programme relies on money from the federal government, which has been unfunded and shut down since 1 October..

Pointing gun at Anita Anand’s photo: Canada ministers condemn protest outside Indian consulate, call it ‘vile and unacceptable’

Canada ministers condemned the SFJ protest in which a placard had minister Anita Anand's face merging with that of Indira Gandhi and two turbaned individuals pointing their guns at her. Canadian foreign minister Anita Anand's photo was merged into a photo of former Indian PM Indira Gandhi and two turbaned individuals — part of the placard — were pointing guns at her. Sikhs for Justice protesters outside the Indian consulate in Toronto displayed such a placard, drawing sharp reaction from Canadian ministers.”Targeting a public official with threats or violence undermines our democracy. At a recent protest, there was a deeply disturbing depiction of guns being pointed at a photo of Minister Anand. We condemn these acts of hate unequivocally. There is no place for this in Canada,” Secretary of state for international development Randeep Sarai said.Public safety minister Gary Anandasangaree did not mention Anita Anand's name as he wrote: “A recent protest in Toronto showed..

‘That’s harsh’: CNN’s Tapper taken aback by Treasury boss Bessent’s Blue Jays dig after epic World Series Game 7 loss

Scott Bessent didn’t miss his opportunity to take a dig at Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the Toronto Blue Jays after their heartbreaking World Series defeat during a Sunday morning appearance on CNN with Jake Tapper.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary pushed back when asked by Tapper about President Donald Trump’s plans to levy additional tariffs against Canada after, accusing Ontario officials of election interference.
.”He didn't put on a 10 percent tariff, he threatened to put on a 10 percent tariff,” Bessent said. “And Jake, this is unacceptable. I read the premier of Ontario spent $75 million sending propaganda across the U.S. border —”
Tapper cut him off and reminded him that the “propaganda” he was mentioning was just former footage of Ronald Reagan speaking about tariffs in his own words. Bessent ignored the comment and did not engage with Tapper's clarification.
“It's the equivalent of election interference,” Bessent continued. “Nobody likes foreign election interfer..

Mississippi woman kills monkey that escaped from overturned truck outside her home: ‘I did what any other mother would do’

A Mississippi woman shot and killed one of the monkeys that escaped from an overturned truck last week because she reportedly feared for the safety of her children.
“I did what any other mother would do to protect her children,” Jessica Bond Ferguson told The Associated Press. “I shot at it and it just stood there, and I shot again, and he backed up and that's when he fell.”
Ferguson, who has five children ranging in age from 4 to 16, grabbed her gun on Sunday when her eldest son told her he thought he had seen a monkey running in the yard outside their home near Heidelberg, Mississippi.
When she stepped outside, she spotted the monkey about 60 feet away from her. The Mississippi mom said she and other residents had been warned about the diseases that the escaped monkeys carried so she fired her gun.
