DEVELOPING: The Colorado Springs Police Department is investigating reports of a shooting Saturday evening along Potter Drive just north of Mitchell High School. The road is closed at this time.

UPDATE: Police say six people were injured, four taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and two others took themselves to the hospital.

Currently, five victims are in stable condition while one person is in critical condition.

The early investigation shows the shooting started with an argument that escalated. CSPD doesn't know yet how many people were firing, but found a lot of shell casings and signs that multiple people were carrying guns.

BREAKING: Key cartel member with $1 million bounty on his head killed in Sinaloa.

Jorge Humberto Figueroa Benítez, identified by the United States government as a key member of the "Los Chapitos" criminal organization, died during an operation aimed at capturing him in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, the country's Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection Omar García Harfuch said Saturday.

The operation against Figueroa Benitez, known by the nickname "El Perris," took place in Navolato, 19 miles from Culiacán, the state's capital, according to local media.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was offering up to $1 million for Figueroa Benitez, who was wanted for alleged federal crimes, including conspiracy to import and traffic fentanyl, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and money laundering conspiracy.

NYC: A 27-year veteran NYPD housing cop was viciously attacked by two masked thugs in the Bronx early Saturday morning.

The officer, still in uniform, had just finished his shift and was walking to his car around 4:10 a.m. when the bandits, dressed in black, ambushed him, stealing his gun belt and other items.

The officer suffered a fractured eye socket after being kicked in the head.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏻

I’ve seen a few claims making the rounds on the Big Beautiful Bill that require correction.

The first is that it doesn’t “codify the DOGE cuts.” A reconciliation bill, which is a budget bill that passes with 50 votes, is limited by senate rules to “mandatory” spending only — eg Medicaid and Food Stamps. The senate rules prevent it from cutting “discretionary” spending — eg the Department of Education or federal grants. The DOGE cuts are overwhelmingly discretionary, not mandatory. The bill saves more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform. A remarkable achievement.

I’ve also seen claims the bill increases the deficit. This lie is based on a CBO accounting gimmick. Income tax rates from the 2017 tax cut are set to expire in September. They were always planned to be permanent. CBO says maintaining *current* rates adds to the deficit, but by definition leaving these income tax rates unchanged cannot add one penny to the deficit. The bill’s spending cuts REDUCE the deficit against the current law baseline, which is the only correct baseline to use.

Another fantastically false claim is that the bill spends trillions of dollars. This is just completely invented out of whole cloth. This is not a ten year budget bill—it doesn’t “fund” almost any operations of government, which are funded in the annual budget bills (which this is not). In other words, if this bill passed, but the annual budget bill did not, there would be no government funding. Under the math that critics are using, if we passed a one paragraph reconciliation bill that cut simply 50 billion in food stamp spending, they would say the bill “added” trillions in spending and debt because they are counting ALL the projected federal spending that exists entirely outside the scope of this legislation, which is of course preposterous. The only funding in the bill is for the President’s border and defense priorities, while enacting a net spending cut of over 1.6 TRILLION dollars.

The bill has two fiscal components: a massive tax cut and a massive spending cut.
