On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced his plan to send federal agents to cities including Chicago and Albuquerque, in order to crack down on violent crime.

Trump, joined at a White House event by Attorney General William Barr, unveiled an expansion of the “Operation Legend” program to more cities in a further effort by federal officials to tackle violence. “Today I’m announcing a surge of federal law enforcement into American communities plagued by violent crime,” said Trump, adding, “This bloodshed must end; this bloodshed will end.”

The program involves deploying federal law enforcement agents to assist local police in combating what the Justice Department has described as a “surge” of violent crime. Operation Legend involves federal agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and other agencies partnering with local law enforcement.

Blake Shelton will release “Happy Anywhere” on July 24th, featuring vocals from his girlfriend, Gwen Stefani.

That’s what happened with Gwen and me this summer—and this entire year.”  The couple’s No. 1 single, “Nobody But You” topped the charts in April/May 2020.

Fourteen People Are Injured During Shootout At Chicago Funeral Home

tmp92af466c-0e0c-48f6-a722-8b729204bfc7-jpg

Chicago police say that fourteen people were wounded on Tuesday during a shooting at a Chicago funeral home. One person was in custody, and the victims’ conditions weren’t immediately known, Chicago Police First Deputy Superintendent Eric Carter told reporters Tuesday night.

Carter said the shooting, in the city’s Auburn Gresham neighborhood, occurred after a speeding black car opened fire on funeral attendees Tuesday evening. People at the funeral returned fire before the car sped away and crashed, Carter said. The people in the car then fled in different directions. Carter didn’t say who the funeral was for, and a motive remained unclear.

The shooting comes amid a spike in gun violence in Chicago. At least 70 people were shot in the city over the weekend, and another 25 people were struck by gunfire Monday.

Twitter Will Suspend Accounts Which Tweet About Conspiracy Theory Group QAnon

tmp512c778d-c727-489f-9ac1-91ddf456d103-jpg

On Tuesday, Twitter Inc. said it would permanently suspend accounts that violate its policies while tweeting about QAnon, a fringe group that claims “deep-state” traitors are plotting against President Donald Trump.

Twitter announced the change on its Twitter Safety page, saying it would not serve content and accounts associated with QAnon in trends and recommendations, and would block URLs associated with the group from being shared on the platform. The suspension is being rolled out this week and is expected to impact about 150,000 accounts globally. It said that more than 7,000 accounts have been removed in the last several weeks for violating the company’s rules against spam, platform manipulation and ban evasion.

Twitter said the suspensions will be applied to accounts “engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension — something we’ve seen more of in recent weeks.”

tmpc01373b9-d5b1-438c-8c01-77cc0dff1cb4-jpg

Carrie Underwood revealed that she will release her first-ever Christmas album, My Gift, on Sept. 25, featuring a combination of beloved traditional favorites and original material. Carrie has previously released a number of holiday tracks over the years, including “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “O Holy Night,” “The First Noel” and more.  

Carrie said about My Gift: “I’ve always wanted to make a Christmas album and it’s been a long time coming. I knew this would be my next music project after wrapping my tour last year, and I think it’s turned out to be the perfect time for an album like this, in this period of such personal and spiritual reflection. For me, it’s more important than ever to focus on the true meaning of Christmas in a project like this. Even though it has been a tough year for all of us, sometimes I feel like the greatest realizations can be inspired by the most difficult times, and make us more grateful for the things we do have and for what truly matters.”

My Gift will also be released on vinyl on Oct. 30. The track list, songwriters and special guests will be announced in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Underwood shared the album’s new trailer featuring footage from the recording studio, which you can view at the link: here
