Trump to Netflix: Fire Rice – or face consequences

Donald Trump is urging Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice – otherwise the company risks "consequences". The move comes after Rice said that companies that bow to Trump could be held accountable if the Democrats regain power, writes Bloomberg.

Trump actions averted
21-year-old Austin is identified – shot dead at Mar-a-Lago

Austin Tucker Martin is identified as the perpetrator who was shot dead at Donald Trump's Florida residence Mar-a-Lago, according to information to several media outlets.

Very little is known about the 21-year-old, who according to several media outlets had been reported missing for a couple of days. Apart from an Instagram account where, according to the New York Post, he uploaded landscapes he had painted, often of golf courses, his presence on social media was small.

His cousin Braeden Fields describes him as quiet, afraid of guns and tells the AP that his family are staunch Trump supporters. He cannot understand what has happened.

“He wouldn’t even hurt a fly. He doesn’t know how to use a gun,” he says.

According to law enforcement authorities, an armed man in his 20s entered Mar-a-Lago on Sunday morning, local time, and was shot dead by Secret Service agents. Neither the man’s intent nor motive are currently known.

Man with shotgun shot dead by Secret Service outside Mar-a-Lago

A man who tried to break into Donald Trump’s Florida residence Mar-a-Lago has been shot dead by the Secret Service. This is what the agency's spokesman Anthony Guglielmi wrote in a statement on X.

The local sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a press conference that the man was carrying a shotgun and a gas can. When he was confronted by police, he pointed the gun at the Secret Service agents, who opened fire.

- The man was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

The incident and the man's possible motive are being investigated by the FBI, the Secret Service and the local police in Palm Beach. Donald Trump was not personally in danger, as he spent the weekend in Washington.
