The ‘world’s worst prison’ gets its first American immigrants after Trump ‘defies judge’s ruling’

A plane carrying American immigrants, suspected members of a Venezuelan gang, touched down in El Salvador under Trump’s command despite the judge’s ruling.

The order passed by Trump’s administration required 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador.

A federal judge ruled against the order, but at the time the plane carrying the alleged gang members was already in international airspace, thus Trump’s administration claimed they didn’t break any laws.

Trump’s order has been based on an 18th century law – which was intended for wartime and targeted Venezuelan gang members – with the government claiming the country is facing an “invasion” of criminal organizations linked to kidnappings, killings, and other crimes.

US is expected to pay the government of President Nayib Bukele $6 million for one year of services.

The infamous prison where the members of the Tren de Aragua gang were deported – the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT – was built in 2023 when president Bukele announced the war against organized crime.

Bukele himself announced the arrival of the American immigrants transferred to El Salvador from America. He posted photos of them handcuffed, writing that the “first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organisation” had landed and that “the United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.”

“As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action,” he wrote on X.

“May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.”

President Trump also posted about the transfer, blaming Joe Biden and his administration for infiltrating the criminals to the United States.

“These are monsters sent into our Country by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats. How dare they!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Thank you to El Salvador, and in particular President Bukele, for your understanding of this horrible situation, which was allowed to happen to the United States because of Democrat leadership.

“We will not forget.”

And while many judge Trump for this action, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, released a statement in which she claimed a single federal judge from a single county, and his ruling, “cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrier full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from US soil.”

The statement added that federal courts “have no jurisdiction” over the president’s foreign affairs.

Trump said he believes the gang members are tied to the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

According to AP, the conditions in the prison are inhumane, with inmates forced to fight over food and water. It doesn’t offer any educational programmes that would help those serving to adapt to outside life ones released.

Also, according to Venezuela’s minister of justice, “those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.”

I fired a single mom for being late – then learned the truth and asked for forgiveness

When I fired Celia, a single mom, for being late for the third time that month, I believed I was just a reasonable manager.

I called her at my office and even before saying a single word, she knew why she was there. Celia didn’t say anything after learning her fate in the company, she just grabbed her purse and left.

Later that afternoon, I overheard two co-workers talking about Celia and feeling pity about her poor son who was forced to sleep with her in her car.

“What do you mean sleeping in her car?” I asked one of them before pulling her aside.

That’s when I learned the truth about the single mom I had fired, before asking if her lateness was due to any personal struggles.

Celia was evicted a month ago, so she was forced to live in her car together with her son. Her ex abandoned them and she worked two jobs whenever she could. The nearby shelters were crowded and wouldn’t accept them, but a church across town allowed them to shower from time to time. Driving to the church which was rather far was the reason she was late for work three times.

I felt sick to my stomach. That woman struggled to make ends meet, she struggled to survive, and I only made things worse for her.

That evening, I couldn’t sleep. All I could think of was Celia and her son. I did her wrong, and I had to make things right.

I tried contacting her first thing in the morning, but she didn’t pick up the phone. She neither answered my texts.

So, I decided to track her down by visiting every shelter and every food bank. But Celia was nowhere to be found.

And then, finally, a woman from a church told me that Celia was there two nights ago. But she didn’t know where she could be at that moment.

I decided to park my car there. If she was there once, she may return. And that’s exactly what happened.

When Celia spotted me, her face went pale. I got out of my car and said, “Celia, I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

I offered her the job back and promised to help her find an apartment at a complex my cousin managed.

“Why are you doing this?” she asked me.

“Because while following the rules I forgot how to be a human,” I said, struggling to contain my tears.

I managed to get Celia and her son into one of the apartments at my cousin’s complex, no deposit needed. Also, I did all in my power to get her access to assistance programs. It wasn’t ideal, but it was a start.

A few days later, Celia stopped by my office to thank me for my help.

That evening, I realized that I was very close to making a huge mistake. I also realized that between policies and procedures, we forget that people aren’t just numbers on spreadsheets. Everyone is fighting their own battle, and sometimes, all they need is someone willing to listen.

Elon Musk questions rising healthcare costs — Mark Cuban explains 7 reasons CEOs are part of the problem

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, now the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, questioned why the U.S. can’t afford healthcare and why medical costs keep rising.

Posting on X, the social platform he owns, Musk cited that the country has the highest healthcare administrative costs among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.

“Shouldn’t the American people be getting their money’s worth?” the Tesla owner asked.

Musk’s remarks were met with pushback, with Mark Cuban pointing out that CEOs like Elon Musk are in fact a huge part of the problem.

According to Cuban, the government isn’t the one to blame for the problem entirely. On the contrary, he stated that it is the CEOs of self-insured companies who sign contracts that make drug prices worse.

“The key is the contracts CEOs of self-insured companies sign. The PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX, and X have more impact on healthcare costs than anything you can do with DOGE,” Cuban said.

With a seven-point list, Mark Cuban explained to Elon Musk exactly how these contracts affect the prices of the drugs.

His list stated:

  1. Don’t control your claims data
  2. Don’t control your formulary
  3. Have to pay more for “Specialty Drugs” that have nothing special about them
  4. Get rebates that are paid for by your sickest and oldest employees and result in higher deductibles and co-pays that impact the wellness of your workers and their families.
  5. Cause independent pharmacies to be reimbursed for less than their costs for brand drug scripts for your employees and families, causing them to go out of business.
  6. Can’t talk to manufacturers to put together wellness programs for things like GLP1s.
  7. Signed a PBM contract with an NDA which prevents you from publicly discussing your PBM contract, resulting in an opaque, inefficient market, which leads to higher prices and lower quality of care for the entire country.

Cuban, however, says his company, Cost Plus Drugs, is trying to provide solutions.

They are trying to take the PBMs out of the equation and sell drugs directly to the customers at more reasonable prices. The pricing would be transparent, showing the actual cost and the 15% markup. It would also feature a flat $3 pharmacy fee and $5 shipping.

Amid the rise of the healthcare costs and the frustrations that grow bigger with each passing day, the PMBs (pharmacy benefit managers) are under the spotlight as never before with many questioning their agreements with them.

Donald Trump – reason for avoiding military service during the Vietnam War traced to medical diagnosis

Millions of young Americans were drafted into the US Army due to the Vietnam War between 1955 and 1973. Current President Donald Trump was in his twenties at the time the Vietnam War started, but he didn’t become part of the military. Instead, he stayed home with his family.

As this information came to light, many wondered why Trump, who was rather young at the time and was 6’2, athletically-built college student, dodged the war.

In 1968, Donald Trump celebrated graduating from college – that same year, 16,899 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War.

Until that point, Trump avoided being drafted four times due to attending college.

He received four student deferments between 1964 and 1968 while attending Fordham University and the University of Pennsylvania. But even after his graduation, he received a deferment yet again. It was a medical deferment classified as 1-Y – later changed to 4-F – for bone spurs in his heels.

However, lack of documents showing that the business-mogul suffered from spurs in his heels sparked controversy.

Many are convinced that he had obtained the medical documents illegally in order to avoid the military service, while others believe his diagnosis was genuine. According to the The Gun Zone, there are no corroborating medical records to prove either belief.

Reach Publishing Services Limited

Dr. Elysa Braunstein, daughter of late foot doctor Dr. Larry Braunstein, told The New York Times that her father had once rented a room from Donald’s dad, Fred Trump. “I know it was a favour,” she alleged, adding of Trump’s heel: “But did he examine him? I don’t know.”

Asked in recent times whether he has ever undergone a foot surgery, Trump said he hadn’t. “Over a period of time, it healed up,” he told Seattle Times.

Deferment could be obtained by influential people who could afford going to college. Those who couldn’t get it but were influential were deployed to noncombat zones such as Germany and Korea.

A major cancer warning sign that can only be detected at night

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, as per WebMD. The only health issue with a higher death toll is heart disease.

The number of people who lost their lives to cancer in 2021 was almost 10 million.

As per the American Cancer Society, the number of people diagnosed with this disease in 2025 would be 2 million.

Behind these numbers are individuals whose lives are affected forever. And not only theirs but also of those around them, their families and their friends.

In the fight against this deadly disease, key factors are raising awareness and early prevention.

Sadly, cancer can affect everyone, regardless of age, race, or nationality. While we believe that certain people, like those who smoke and drink excessively, or those that are overweight and lead unhealthy lifestyle, are the only ones who are faced with a cancer diagnosis, this isn’t true. People who seem healthy and take great care of what they eat or drink can also be blindsided by cancer.

This is why staying informed and being aware of the signs and symptoms of this disease can be crucial for taking timely action.

One symptom reported by a number of people diagnosed with cancer is hot flashes of sweating, especially during the night.

These night sweats are often overlooked and not taken seriously, but as per Express, they can be a red flag.

The reason for these hot flashes and sweats during the night can be the body’s way to cool down in case it experiences cancer fever or a reaction to the shift of hormones.

They can also appear as a result of the hormone therapy against breast, prostate, and endometrial cancers.

A study from 2003, states, “The true incidence of flushing and sweating in advanced cancer is unknown, but on the occasions when it does occur, this symptom is the most troublesome and exhausting to the terminally ill patient.”

At women with breast cancer, these hot flashes are often caused by estrogen deficiency, whereas in men with prostate cancer they are often a result of androgen ablation therapy.

If you experience hot flashes and excessive sweating during the night that are paired with weight loss, fevers, or other symptoms, seek medical advice.

Mom promised me the lake house, but after I paid for renovations she gave it to my sister

That lake house meant the world to me. All my childhood memories were related to that place, so when my mom told me she would give it to me, I was so excited I started the renovations right away.

I put every dollar I had into that house. What’s most, I did most of the work myself. From painting the fence and the walls, patching the roof, and scrubbing every single inch of that place until my hands felt raw.

I simply put my heart and my soul into the lake house, and when I finally thought I could move in, my mom delivered some shocking news.

“Kate, dear,” she said one day, “I’m aware I promised you the lake house, but Stella needs it more than you do.”

Hearing those words made my world collapse. Stella, my sister, was the golden child. She always got everything she wanted. And I… I was left with her leftovers.

I couldn’t understand why Stella needed the place more than I did, but then my mother dropped a bomb. “Honey, you see… she’s got children, and you don’t, so…”

Midjourney

My mom was well aware that not having children wasn’t a decision I made. I simply couldn’t have any, and that was the reason why my ex-husband left me. Both my mom and Stella witnessed my struggles. They both knew how I felt when my marriage ended, but they didn’t seem to care, so why would they now?

First, I was left to pick up the pieces of my life with Tom, and now I was left to do the same with that lake house I loved so much.

As I was packing my things, my mom’s words echoed in my head – “Stella needs it more than you do.”

When I left the place, I ran into my neighbor, an elderly woman named Lucy.

“Listen Kate, there is something you should know,” she said as she grabbed me by my arm.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, confused and a bit overwhelmed.

“Honey, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I overheard your mom and your sister talking about the lake house. They are planning on turning it into a hotel. And with your renovations, you saved them a ton of money.”

“What?” I yelled. “So this was their plan from the start?”

“I guess it was,” Mrs. Lucy said as she tried to comfort me.

The betrayal by my own family felt bitter. I couldn’t believe my mom and Stella were capable of such a deceit.

I tried hard to move on. And then, when I least expected it, I met Ethan. He was the most lovely person I’ve ever met in my life. We started dating and he proposed. Life felt good again, and then, a miracle happened. I fell pregnant and welcomed a son.

Midjourney

I was happy with my family, but somehow, I always thought of my mother and her betrayal. It was something I wasn’t able to get over.

A couple of years passed by. One day, while I was doing the dishes, I noticed some papers on the kitchen counter.

When I took them in my hands, I realized they were a deed to the lake house. But how could that be?

“Ethan!” I yelled as loud as I could. “What’s this?”

Ethan smiled at me and said, “It’s finally yours, just like it was always supposed to.”

Midjourney

It turned out that my mom and sister went bankrupt and were forced to sell the lake house they turned into a tiny hotel.

I heard they owed money and that their hospitality venture failed big. Maybe it was karma, or maybe it was just bad luck, who knows, but at that point, I didn’t really care. All I cared for was the future, and it looked bright.

At least 60 killed after fire at nightclub where over 1,500 people attended a concert

Huge flames engulfed a nightclub in the city of Kočani, North Macedonia, leaving at least 60 concertgoers dead and over 155 injured with burns.

The blaze broke out at around 2:55 a.m. local time during the concert of the popular hip-hop duo DNK. Sadly, the singer and four other members of the band were also killed in the fire that led to the roof falling and creating a human stampede.

The band’s singer, Andrej Gorgieski, who was killed in the fire, was reported to have left the club when the fire started but returned inside in order to help save some of the people.

As per the county’s interior minister, Panche Toshkovski, the fire was caused by the use of pyrotechnic devices “used for light effect.” Sadly, “the sparks caught the ceiling, which was made of easily flammable material, after which the fire rapidly spread across the whole discotheque, creating thick smoke”, he said during a press conference.

North Macedonia’s Prime Minister, Hristijan Mickoski, said the loss of that many young lives was “irreparable.”

“I call on all competent institutions – health services, police, local authorities – to take urgent measures to assist the injured and support the affected families,” he said in a statement posted to Facebook.

“In these times of deep sadness, when our hearts are broken with pain due to this terrible tragedy, I call for unity, solidarity, humanity and responsibility.”

Among those who lost their lives there were also minors.

“All our capabilities have been put to use in a maximum effort to save as many lives as possible of the young people involved in this tragedy,” the country’s health minister told the press.

Neighboring countries, including Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia offered assistance.

Videos that emerged on the social media show the moment when the fire broke. The band could be heard urging the guests to leave the club.

The entire Balkan, where North Macedonia is located, had been plunged “into profound shock over this tragedy.”

X

US ambassador to North Macedonia Angela Aggeler posted on X: “My heart breaks this morning for the many victims in last night’s fire at a nightclub in Kochani. 

“Our deepest condolences go to the victims and their loved ones at this awful time, and wishes for a speedy recovery to those who were injured. 

“The loss of so many young lives in one community is a terrible tragedy. I have offered any assistance and the full resources of the U.S. Embassy to the Prime Minister, as well as our prayers for all those who suffer today.”

The family of the injured are gathered in front of the hospitals where their loved ones have been treated.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the grieving families and the people of North Macedonia.
