NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police report that an NBA finals viewing party in Manhattan turned chaotic Monday. Dejected Knicks fans scaled light poles, pelted officers with objects, and ripped signs out of the street following the team’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs. President Donald Trump’s attendance at the game led police to close off a large area outside Madison Square Garden. Instead, about 7,000 people gathered at Bryant Park. While the party was mostly calm, some fans blocked traffic and refused to disperse. Police arrested eight people, and five officers suffered injuries. Mayor Zohran Mamdani emphasized that most fans watched peacefully.

The U.S. military says it has begun strikes against Iran following the crash of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter off the coast of Oman. In a statement posted to social media Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said the strikes would be “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.” It comes after President Donald Trump blamed Iran for downing the helicopter and vowed that the U.S. would respond. Meanwhile, a bill to provide nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement narrowly passed the House and now goes to Trump for his signature, fueling the administration’s deportation agenda for the remainder of his time in the White House.

Graham Platner’s Growing Support

Trump Takes on MSG

The Left Hates Everything Trump Does

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) — A Texas teenager who prosecutors said provoked a 17-year-old athlete from a rival team before fatally stabbing him at a high school track meet has been found guilty of murder. Jurors on Tuesday convicted Karmelo Anthony in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf. The killing last year stunned a booming Dallas suburb where the boys attended different schools. It quickly drew wider attention, in part because of social media posts about race. The now-19-year-old Anthony is Black. Metcalf was white. Prosecutors and defense attorneys told jurors the case had nothing to do with race. Prosecutors accused Anthony of egging on a confrontation after being asked to leave the tent of another track team. Anthony’s attorneys argued the teen was defending himself.

Josh opens the show by breaking down Democrats' hopes of reclaiming power in Maine as voters head to the polls for the Democratic Senate primary. He explains why Democrats have rallied behind Graham Planter in their bid to flip the seat this fall, despite a growing list of controversies surrounding the candidate, including revelations about a Nazi tattoo and other troubling reports that continue to emerge. Josh also takes a look at some of the other far-left and controversial Democratic candidates running across the country and what their campaigns say about the direction of the party. Later, Josh responds to remarks made by outgoing Congressman Thomas Massie on the House floor, highlighting what he believes were misleading claims and setting the record straight on the facts. Finally, Josh discusses President Donald Trump's appearance at the New York Knicks game Monday night, the star-studded crowd in attendance, and the increasingly blurred line between sports, celebrity culture, and politics.

Voters across Maine, Nevada, South Carolina and North Dakota head to the polls for another day of primary elections in America, but much of the political world will be focused on Maine’s high-stakes U.S. Senate contest. The results aren’t in question. Neither Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins nor Democratic challenger Graham Platner faces serious opposition for their party’s nomination. Elsewhere, President Donald Trump’s clout within his party will be tested anew in states like South Carolina and Nevada, where he’s endorsed his favored candidates. Democrats hope to build momentum in Nevada in their broader push to reclaim key governor’s seats.

TORONTO (AP) — A former Air Canada pilot has been charged after flying for years without a proper license, Canadian police said Tuesday. Geoffrey Wall, of Barrie, Ontario, is alleged to have operated as an airline captain between 2009 and 2025 without a license to fly large commercial passenger planes, according to Peel Regional Police. He is said to have flown more than 900 flights domestically and internationally without the required license. Air Canada said Wall, 59, held a valid commercial pilot license, but was promoted to captain without the required airline transport pilot license. “This pilot had a 27-year career and we are alleging that since 2009 has been flying for years misrepresenting himself and his credentials to his employer and regulatory officials using fraudulent licensing documents,” deputy police chief Nick Milinovich said. “He rose to the position of pilot in command where for almost 17 year he flew Boeing 767s, 777s and 787s.” The airline said he was removed from active duty once it was discovered that he did not have the correct license and that it was voluntarily reported to Transport Canada, the regulator. The pilot is no longer employed by the airline. Police said anomalies were detected in a documentation check. Transport Canada contacted police earlier this year. Air Canada claimed safety was not compromised and an audit of its pilots found no other instances of non-compliance. “Safety was not compromised by this incident because all pilots at Air Canada undergo mandatory recurrent training every six months to validate their flying competency, including a flight check with a certified Transport Canada check-pilot every 12 months,” the airline said in a statement. “However, appropriate licensing is an essential layer of the airline industry’s multi-layered approach to safety, so Air Canada takes this matter with utmost seriousness.” The airline declined to comment further due to privacy law and an active criminal investigation. The airline, which did not name the pilot, said he has been fined by Transport Canada for not having the correct license to be an aircraft captain. Police also say the accused filed a false report to police about allegedly stolen pilot documentation.
