Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, has been fired from his position as a ranger with the Snowshoe Resort Community District in West Virginia. The district's board of directors released the below statement on Friday: "Ranger Tim Loehmann is no longer employed by the SRCD. The Board of the SRCD met on December 19, 2025, to discuss personnel matters, and then voted unanimously to terminate the employment of Tim Loehmann effective immediately. Tamir Rice was playing with an airsoft pellet gun outside the Cudell Recreation Center in November 2014 when Loehmann shot him. The boy died the next day. The Cleveland Division of Police fired Loehmann in 2017 " not for the shooting, but for lying on his job application and failing to disclose that Independence police had previously deemed him unfit for duty.
At least six career staffers at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were suspended with pay this summer after organizing a polygraph test that the agency's acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, failed. The Department of Homeland Security opened an investigation into whether the staff provided "false information" about the need for the test " which was scheduled after Gottumukkala sought access to certain highly sensitive cyber intelligence shared with the agency. This article is based on interviews with eight current and four former U.S. cybersecurity officials, including multiple Trump administration appointees, who have either worked closely with Gottumukkala or have knowledge of the polygraph examination and the chain of events that followed. They were granted anonymity for fear of retribution.
CBS News cut an upcoming "60 Minutes" report at the last minute on the infamous CECOT prison in El Salvador, setting off an outcry on social media.

"The broadcast lineup for tonight's edition of 60 minutes has been updated," the program posted on its social media accounts. "Our report 'Inside CECOT' will air in a future broadcast."

In one file was a photo of Trump with young girls.
As of this morning, that file EFTA00000468 is now missing from the DOJ website.

Epstein's BFF is a------------.
Whether it's Pete Buttigieg learning to speak eight languages or Donald Trump successfully identifying a giraffe, there's plenty of intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.
