Tragedy has struck in Uvalde, Texas, with the heartbreaking death of a Congressional aide under circumstances that raise serious questions about personal conduct in political offices.
The story centers on Regina Aviles, a 35-year-old mother and regional district director for Congressman Tony Gonzales, who died by suicide through self-immolation at her home, with allegations of a romantic relationship with the married lawmaker swirling amid efforts to seal public records.
Aviles joined Gonzales’s staff in November 2021, taking on a key role in his Uvalde office.
By this year, whispers of an affair with Gonzales reportedly strained her marriage, leading to a separation from her husband, though they continued to co-parent their young son, age 8.
The situation took a devastating turn on September 13, when surveillance footage captured Aviles pouring gasoline on herself in her backyard, alone at the time.
She was airlifted to a San Antonio hospital after the incident but succumbed to her injuries the following day, as confirmed by the medical examiner.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office noted that further details, including the autopsy, won’t be available for weeks as the case file remains incomplete.
Meanwhile, the Uvalde Police Department and city officials are clamping down hard, blocking the release of records related to Aviles’s death, leaving the public in the dark about whether even the autopsy will see the light of day.
Austin Beck, lawyer for the City of Uvalde, argued, “The case concerns an incident that occurred [at] a private residence which resulted in the death of an individual who was not an elected or appointed public official, nor a public figure/celebrity in general.” Well, Mr. Beck, when a public employee’s death is tangled up with allegations involving a sitting Congressman, the public’s interest isn’t just legitimate—it’s essential.
Gonzales, for his part, didn’t deny the rumored relationship when pressed, which only fuels speculation about what really went on behind closed doors.
His spokesperson offered a statement, saying, “Regina Aviles was a kind soul who had a lasting impact on her community, which she continued to serve until her untimely death.” That’s a fine sentiment, but it sidesteps the elephant in the room—shouldn’t there be accountability for personal conduct that may have contributed to such a tragic outcome?
Notably, Gonzales did not attend Aviles’s funeral, held 11 days after her passing, a decision that raises eyebrows given their professional—and allegedly personal—connection.
The Texas Department of Public Safety’s crime lab is reviewing evidence from the home’s surveillance cameras, but with Uvalde officials pushing to keep all records sealed, one wonders if the full story will ever emerge.
Beck also claimed there’s “no legitimate interest to the public” in this case, a stance that reeks of the kind of bureaucratic stonewalling conservatives often rail against when it suits progressive agendas. If there’s nothing to hide, why the iron curtain?
This isn’t just about one woman’s tragic end—it’s about whether those in power play by the same rules they preach, especially when family values are a cornerstone of conservative rhetoric. Aviles’s death is a heartbreaking reminder that personal failings can have public consequences, and sealing records only erodes trust in a system already on shaky ground.
Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum is pressing charges against a drunken man who groped her chest in a shocking incident that was caught on camera.
The disturbing assault happened in broad daylight in the middle of a busy street in Mexico City, as Sheinbaum was meeting with supporters. The assailant was arrested and identified as Uriel Rivera Martínez, 33.
Viral video shows the man step up behind Sheinbaum before kissing her neck and cupping her breasts.

Sheinbaum was not accompanied by security at the time but had a single aide with her, the New York Times reported.
The incident has raised fresh debate about cultural norms in Mexico, where many women say sexual harassment is a common experience.
Sheinbaum, the first female president, said she decided to press charges over her groping to send a message that the mistreatment of women is never acceptable.
"My view is, if I don't file a complaint, what will happen to other Mexican women? If they do this to the president, what will happen to all women in our country?" Sheinbaum said at a news conference on Wednesday.
"I decided to press charges because this is something that I experienced as a woman, but that we as women experience in our country," she said. "I have experienced it before, when I wasn't president, when I was a student."
"A line must be drawn," she said.
Like her mentor, leftist president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), Sheinbaum is known for interacting closely with crowds.
Sheinbaum said that she would not allow the occurrence to change her habits.
"As for my security — we’re not going to change who we are. We can’t be far from the people, ” she said. “For now, our aides will continue supporting us, but we have to stay close to the people. To isolate ourselves, to ride around in a van — we have no known risk that would justify that.”
The violation of the president's own personal space also highlighted the poor security situation in Mexico, where drug cartels hold significant sway and violence is endemic.
The assault on Sheinbaum came days after the murder of a mayor in western Mexico set off angry backlash over Sheinbaum's crime policies. Like her leftist predecessor, who advocated "hugs, not bullets," Sheinbaum has rejected the use of force in favor of a sociological approach to crime.
“It starts from a deep conviction that security is not sustained by wars, but by justice, by development and by respect for life. Peace is not imposed by force, it is built with people, with communities and with the daily work of those who love their land,” she said.
A Democratic congressman based in Chicago has been accused of distorting the facts about an arrest of an illegal immigrant at a daycare facility, Breitbart reported.
Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stormed into the school and "took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN."
A viral video of the incident showed agents dragging a woman outside of a school that teaches kids Spanish.
The short clip might lead viewers to conclude that Quigley's account is true - but according to the DHS, this is another example of Democrats omitting context to paint illegal aliens as victims.
In a post on X, the official Department of Homeland Security account accused Quigley of "deliberately misrepresenting" the facts. The woman, a Colombian national who entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, had "fled inside" the school after officers attempted a targeted traffic stop, the agency said.
She was in a car with a male driver who refused to pull over when officers put on their lights and sirens. Video of the incident shows a silver car parked illegally in front of the school, seemingly backing up ICE's account.
The school was not targeted, DHS emphasized, and the arrest took place inside an entryway, not the school itself. Upon arrest, the woman "lied about her identity" and claimed she did not know the male driver of the vehicle, which was registered in her name. She said she had "picked him up from a bus stop."
"Officers attempted to pull over this vehicle, which was registered to a female illegal alien, with sirens and emergency lights, but the male driver refused to pull the vehicle over,” spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin wrote. "Law enforcement pursued the vehicle before the assailant sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle," the DHS said.
Of course, Democrats tell a different story. They say the woman is just a teacher who is loved by the community.
That could be true, and it still would not give her a right to remain in the country illegally. Neither does her having a work permit, as the DHS pointed out.
"Work authorization does NOT confer any type of legal status to be in the U.S." the agency said. "The illegal alien's work authorization was approved by the Biden administration, which exploited this loophole to help facilitate the invasion of our country."
The DHS also accused the woman of endangering children, saying she encouraged her two teenage kids to cross the southern border unaccompanied, and smugglers may have been involved.
Quigley responded to the DHS's account by simply writing. "They're lying." He did not elaborate.
Democrats insist that Trump's immigration crackdown has gone too far - but if that is the case, why do Democrats need to keep lying about it?
Hold onto your hats, folks—former Oregon Democrat lawmaker Melissa Fireside has bolted from the country with her nine-year-old son, Benicio, dodging fraud charges that could land her in hot water, the Daily Mail reported.
This jaw-dropping saga unfolds as Fireside, once a Clackamas County Commissioner, allegedly scammed $30,000 from a vulnerable senior, fled her bail conditions, and whisked her son across borders to Europe, leaving her ex-boyfriend, Cody Bellamy, heartbroken and sounding the alarm.
Let’s rewind to the beginning of this mess, where Fireside’s troubles started brewing with accusations of financial deceit.
She’s accused of fraudulently securing $30,000 in loans under the name of Arthur W. Petrone, her mother’s late boyfriend, who was in a senior care home and, per his daughter Lynn Roberts, far too frail to consent.
Arrested and facing trial, Fireside resigned from her commissioner post earlier this year, but apparently, sticking around for justice wasn’t on her agenda.
Instead, she pulled a vanishing act, yanking Benicio out of his school in Lexington, Oregon, last Wednesday without a word to anyone.
By Thursday, Fireside had slipped across the southern border, hopped a flight from Mexico to Amsterdam using an Austrian passport, and left her bail conditions in the dust.
That passport, by the way, grants her the ability to live and work anywhere in the EU—talk about a convenient escape hatch for someone with a laundry list of legal woes.
Meanwhile, Cody Bellamy, the 44-year-old father of Benicio now residing in Alger, Michigan, is left piecing together a nightmare, unable to legally claim this as abduction since Fireside holds full custody.
Bellamy, who met Fireside online in 2014 and welcomed their son in 2016 despite political differences, paints a grim picture of a manipulative past, alleging she used his credit to buy a $900,000 home in Lake Oswego when hers was nonexistent.
He claims their relationship ended abruptly six months after Benicio’s birth, and Fireside made co-parenting a legal battlefield, racking up $18,000 in expenses for Bellamy in a failed bid for joint custody.
“I almost feel like Melissa just used me as a surrogate,” Bellamy told reporters, his frustration palpable as he described feeling like nothing more than a means to her desperate desire for a child.
Adding insult to injury, Oregon social services still demand Bellamy pay child support, even as Fireside and Benicio are presumed to be hiding somewhere in Europe—talk about a system more focused on paperwork than people.
“I’m terrified that I will never see my son alive again,” Bellamy confessed through tears, grappling with the dread that Fireside might flee further, perhaps to the Middle East, to evade extradition.
While he insists she’s a good mother unlikely to harm Benicio, Bellamy warns that pressure can twist even the best intentions, leaving him to wonder what desperate moves she might make next under the weight of her choices.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) dodged the question when asked about mounting retirement rumors during a CNN interview on the eve of the 2025 elections, the Washington Examiner reported.
Political insiders have told NBC News that they do not expect Pelosi to seek another term in 2026, and that she will likely make an announcement sometime after Election Day.
“I think she’s preparing to exit the stage,” a House Democratic leadership aide told the outlet. “We will not fully appreciate the time we have spent with her.”
Retiring now would certainly let Pelosi leave on a high note. Democrats had been depressed for the past year since President Trump's triumphant comeback, but Tuesday's election results have given Democrats some confidence back.
Indeed, Tuesday night was a bad one for Republicans, as Democrats swept all the big races and Pelosi's pet project, Proposition 50, was approved overwhelmingly in California. The partisan redistricting push, which could add up to five Democratic seats in the House, has been sold as a response to the supposed power grabs of Republicans.
Pelosi, during a CNN interview Monday, did not shoot down retirement rumors, instead suggesting she would have more to say soon.
“I have said I won’t do anything until Preposition 50, so tomorrow night will be very fraught with meaning for all of us. I want to win big, I think we can win big, and I don't want to be spending time on whatever I might be doing. I want to spend my time on what we‘re doing, working together to get out the vote,” Pelosi said on CNN.
“Own the ground, you win the election by owning the ground, and you can have all the persuasion in the world, you can have the biggest numbers in the polls, but if you don‘t own the ground, you‘re only having a conversation. You're not having a victory,” Pelosi said.
The first female House Speaker, Pelosi shepherded the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, into law and guided Democrats through President Trump's first term.
She has been in Congress for almost four decades and is now in her 20th term. A ruthless disciplinarian and political tactician, she is an icon of the modern left and powerhouse fundraiser whom even Republicans have begrudging respect for.
Despite filing for re-election in November 2024, the 85-year-old has yet to announce her next bid yet.
Ambitious Democrats are already angling for her seat, including leftist state senator Scott Wiener and Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Ny.)
As confident as ever, Pelosi told CNN that she has "no doubt" she would win re-election if she decided to run again - and on that point we have to agree with her.
"I have no doubt that if I decided to run, I would win,” Pelosi told CNN. “That isn’t even a question.”
Right-wing journalist Laura Loomer has gained press credentials at the Pentagon, bringing possible headaches for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and others on President Trump's national security team whom she has targeted, the Daily Mail reported.
Online, Loomer is known for feuding with other right-wing figures whom she considers to be disloyal to Trump and his "America First" agenda, and she has played a role in driving out some Trump foreign policy staffers over ideological disputes.
Recently, Loomer threatened to boycott the 2026 midterms over Secretary Hegseth's move to host a Qatari air force facility at a U.S military base in Idaho.
But she has also expressed support for Hegseth's anti-woke reforms. "He says being a fat soldier is 'unacceptable'. He's correct," shew wrote in September.
Her access at the Pentagon comes even as many legacy media outlets have cleared out of the building in protest of new press restrictions.
The new rules bar reporters from soliciting unauthorized information, in what Hegseth calls a common sense move to protect national security.
With a few exceptions, the rules were rejected by most news organizations, including right-of-center ones like Fox News.
Loomer now joins a group of right-wing journalists who have agreed to the Pentagon's new press restrictions, including LindellTV and The Gateway Pundit.
"I look forward to covering the Pentagon and breaking more stories that impact our country and our national security. I have developed a Rolodex of sources and if you have any tips, feel free to contact the Loomered Tip Line: the most influential Tip Line in all of DC," Loomer wrote in her announcement on X.
Loomer is still not credentialed at the White House, although the administration has shaken up the press corps there as well to include more pro-MAGA voices.
While known for her fierce devotion to Trump, Loomer is equally vocal about criticizing those in his orbit whom she sees as out of step with his agenda.
Among the Pentagon figures Loomer has targeted are Col. Earl G. Matthews, the Pentagon's top lawyer, and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who revoked the appointment of a Biden official to West Point's staff after Loomer criticized the pick.
Loomer has also feuded with MAGA politicians like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA.), who has recently taken a perceived turn against Trump on various issues.
“I know she’s known as a ‘radical right,’ but I think Laura Loomer is a very nice person,” Trump told reporters in August. “… I think she’s a patriot, and she gets excited because of the fact she’s a patriot, and she doesn’t like things going on that she thinks are bad for the country. I like her.”
A British reality star and socialite, who was college friends of Prince William and Kate Middleton, has died in a shocking fall near a famous landmark in London.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Ben Duncan fell 100 feet, seven stories, from a rooftop bar at an upscale hotel near Trafalgar Square in London's West End.
The 45-year-old was friends with William and Kate at University of St Andrews, where the royal couple started dating.
The Metropolitan Police told the Daily Mail that Duncan's death Thursday, October 30 was "unexpected" but "non-suspicious."
According to the Daily Mail, the Trafalgar St. James, where rooms go for up to $1,300 a night, has plastic screens as a safety feature on its rooftop.
"Officers responded to concerns for a man on the roof of a building in Cockspur Street, Westminster at 23:02 hours on Thursday, 30 October," police said.
"The man sadly fell from height. Despite the best efforts from the London Ambulance service, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene."
"His death is unexpected but non-suspicious."
A well-connected member of British society, Duncan was present at the pivotal moment when the future Princess Kate caught William's eye at a university fashion show.
"It was the end of their first year. I was there, and in person there were a lot of attractive girls. She was in a very daring dress, in a sheer stocking-like dress. He was sitting front row and his eyes were like stalks," Duncan recalled in 2010.
"She brushed by him on the way to the catwalk and things were never the same again - the whole history of the monarchy had been altered."
After his college days, Duncan became known for appearing on various reality shows, including Big Brother in 2010.
A friend, speaking anonymously, told the Daily Mail that Duncan was the life of the party, but had recently turned reclusive and suffered from insomnia.
"Ben was always the life and soul of the party," the friend said. "Although he appeared on reality TV shows, Ben's true passions were politics and music."
"In recent years, he had become more reclusive - and had struggled with insomnia," the person added. "It's truly devastating that he's gone so soon."
Duncan's body was found in Spring Gardens, which is a dead-end street nearby Trafalgar Square.
"My dear, dear friend Benjamin (Ben) Duncan has left us," broadcaster Mike Hollingsworth wrote on Facebook.
"He lived life as Peter Pan - the boy who never grew up. He will be sorely missed by his many, many friends, who grew to love his charm, his wit, his infectious laugh and his innate sense of style. The world is a poorer place for his passing. RIP Benji."
Sen. John Fetterman sided against former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) after she made several pointed remarks against President Donald Trump that he thought were out of line, Breitbart reported. The Pennsylvania Democrat slammed Pelosi after she called Trump a "vile creature" during an interview with CNN.
The 85-year-old lawmaker was expected to make an announcement about retirement following Tuesday's elections that included a referendum on California's redistricting. Nevertheless, Pelosi was out prior to Election Day smearing Trump, an activity which has become a favorite pastime for the elderly politician.
On Monday, Pelosi sat down with CNN's Elex Michaelson and trashed the president. "He’s just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth. But anyway," she said to Michaelson, who asked if she thought he was the "worst thing on the face of the Earth" as a follow-up. "I do, yeah. I do," Pelosi responded.
“He’s just a vile creature.”
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi gave an interview with CNN’s @Elex_Michaelson criticizing President Donald Trump‘s actions.

Pelosi pulled no punches when it came to sharing her opinions about Trump, stating that she feels the way she does "because he‘s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States," the California Democrat told Michaelson. "In fact, he’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court," she claimed.
"He’s abolished the House of Representatives. He’s chilled the press. He’s scared people who are in our country legally," Pelosi added.
These remarks come as Pelosi has historically enjoyed tremendous influence within the Democratic Party and has wielded it against Trump for years. Her taking to the airwaves to call him names is nothing new, but it is unusual that a fellow Democrat would come to his rescue.
However, that's exactly what Fetterman did on Tuesday during an appearance on Fox News' The Story with Martha MacCallum. "The worst creatures on the face of the earth are Hamas or like the leadership of Iran — there’s a lot of people on that," Fetterman charged.

Fetterman took offense to the way Pelosi characterized Trump and, by extension, his supporters. "I would never use those kind of terms and I wouldn’t describe our president — you can really disagree with him, and I do disagree, but I don’t think that’s really entirely appropriate," Fetterman said.
"But that’s her words for that. So for me, that’s just a different kind of a Democrat for me," Fetterman added. He also said that he doesn't agree with calling people "Nazi" or "fascist" as many in his party are fond of doing.
The senator said the same thing on Jesse Watters Primetime when speaking about the way others in his party have decided to smear Trump and the GOP during the government shutdown debate. "As a Democrat, I refuse to call you a fascist or a Nazi. I’m not going to compare you to Hitler or anything like that," Fetterman told the host Jesse Watters.
"It’s wrong. If you resort to that, you’ve lost," Fetterman added. "If you call Trump a fascist, then you’re also saying the people who voted for him are fascists — and that’s not true," he concluded.
This is a refreshing take on the issue from Fetterman, though it's unfortunately a rare one among Democrats. It's time for Pelosi and her ilk to stop with the personal attacks and extreme rhetoric that have fueled a deep divide in the country.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Tuesday that he no longer supports a continuing resolution that would fund the government through the end of December, The Hill reported. Time is ticking after the stopgap measure that was first passed in the House in September languishes in the Senate.
The continuing resolution they were first pushing would have only funded the government through November 21 anyway. Now, Johnson is trying to avoid the familiar problem of a large spending bill being voted on just in time for Christmas and instead is asking for temporary funding that brings the budget issue into January.
"A lot of people around here have PTSD about Christmas omnibus spending bills. We don’t want to do that," Johnson said during a news briefing. "It gets too close, and we don’t want to have that risk," he added.
Johnson believes a short-term funding bill that brings the issue into the new year "makes sense," but that it's by no means an easy feat at this point. "There’s some discussion about it. We’ll see where it lands," Johnson said.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is on board with Johnson's timeline and confirmed this to reporters on Monday. "The longer runway is better," the South Dakota Republican said.
Johnson said that the House would come back to session if a deal could be struck for a continuing resolution. However, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, is not convinced and would instead like to see the government funded through Dec. 19.
Meanwhile, Democrats have dug into their position that they won't budge on reopening until Republicans roll over on extending their healthcare subsidies from the Affordable Care Act. Still, Thune said he was "optimistic" the government could reopen by Friday if both parties struck a deal, but that was before Tuesday's elections, which were favorable for Democrats.
Now it seems that their strategy of holding out was the right one politically, or at least it didn't hurt them the Democrats in elections around the country. As Fox News reported, this could make the shutdown go on even longer, as they think they have the upper hand against President Donald Trump and the GOP.
New Jersey elected Mikie Sherrill for governor in a decisive defeat against the Republican Jack Ciattarelli, and Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) believes this points to the president's failing. "This was a resounding defeat for Donald Trump. He should have woke up this morning and just immediately said, ‘I — we need to negotiate. We need to find an end to this shutdown,'" Kim claimed.
While Democrats remain steadfast in their opposition to striking a deal, Republicans are similarly obstinate, though Trump appears to recognize that perhaps it played a role in getting so many Democrats elected on Tuesday. During a White House breakfast on Wednesday, Trump conceded that the "shutdown was a big factor, negative for the Republicans."
Others, like Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), believe that it was a temporary setback, but that the blame will ultimately fall on the Democrats. "I think the Democrats, you know, may feel emboldened by it, but I think that people are going to get past election results fairly quickly and start remembering that they've just unilaterally decided to shut down the government," Tillis told Fox News Digital.
"So I think it could be maybe a weak bump, but at the end of the day, we're going to get back to the reality that we've got to fund the government," Tillis added. As Politico reported, Tuesday's elections were not necessarily a referendum on Republicans, especially considering that they were held in an off-year, but there's no denying that they favored Democrats.
The losses were significant, as Democrats flipped 13 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates, as well as three statewide races. Californians voted to redraw the congressional maps in favor of Democrats, and New Jersey, which had looked like it might turn red after Trump's showing in the 2024 election, voted Sherrill in by 13 points.
Tuesday's results were not great for Republicans, but it doesn't necessarily mean any particular issue was the reason. The government shutdown is bad for both parties and looks more like a political stunt than real governance, even to Republicans.
CNN lefty Van Jones is among those raising alarm about Zohran Mamdani's "instant character switch" after winning the New York City mayoral race, as evidenced by his angry victory speech Tuesday night.
“New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change, a mandate for a new kind of politics, a mandate for a city that we can afford and a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that,” he started out.
He quickly devolved into taunting President Donald Trump and claiming to have accomplished something momentous, rather than being yet another "Democrat" (or at least posing as one) to win a race in the most liberal city in America.
“So Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up,” Mamdani said.
“My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty,” he continued.
Van Jones said of the speech, “I think he missed an opportunity. I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech."
“I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. That’s not the Mamdani that we’ve seen on Tiktok and the great interviews and stuff like that," he went on. “I felt like it was a little bit of a character switch here."
Mamdani will be NYC's first Muslim, first South Asian and first socialist mayor--all at the young age of 34.
He actually carried 50.4% of the vote, so even if all of Republican Curtis Sliwa's votes had gone to independent challenger Andrew Cuomo, it would not have been enough.
“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in his private life but that [will be] the final time I utter his name," Mamdani said.
Over 2 million New Yorkers voted in the election, the highest turnout since 1969.
Trump has threatened to withhold funds from New York if Mamdani won the election, saying that it would be a "waste" of money because socialism would fail.
"…AND SO IT BEGINS!” Trump posted on Truth Social as the speech went on.
The Trump Organization still does a lot of business in New York City, so it remains to be seen what will happen with Trump Tower and other buildings there.
He long ago moved his base of operations to Florida where the weather is better and taxes much lower.
The city already taxes business owners onerously for every single day they do business there, and a reported $100 million-plus in real estate is in the process of moving out as people grow fearful of Mamdani's policies.
