Good morning. It’s Tuesday, April 22.

 

At least 20 tourists were killed and many others injured Tuesday when suspected militants opened fire on civilians in Indian-controlled Kashmir, according to reports on Indian and international media. Many outlets, including the French news agency AFP, cited unnamed security officials who put the death toll as high as 26, but there was no immediate confirmation on casualties from authorities.

Two senior police officers, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press at least 20 bodies had been recovered after multiple gunmen fired at dozens of tourists from close range Tuesday. The officers said at least three dozen others were injured, with many in serious condition.

The attack took place in South Kashmir’s Pahalgam area, a scenic destination dotted with meadows and glaciers that attracts hundreds of thousands of Indian and foreign tourists every summer. That tourist traffic has increased over the last year, as militant violence in the wider Kashmir region, which is disputed between India and neighboring Pakistan, has waned.

Over two weeks after she was reported missing, authorities believe they have found the body of Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra.

Detectives made the discovery on April 17, alongside detectives with the Prince George’s County Police Department, in an area outside of Cedarville State Forest in Prince George’s County.

The body was found buried in a heavily wooded area of the forest, according to authorities.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told investors in a closed-door meeting Tuesday he expects “there will be a de-escalation” in President Donald Trump’s trade war with China in the “very near future,” a person in the room told CNBC.

“No one thinks the current status quo is sustainable” with tariff rates at their current levels, Bessent said at a private investor summit in Washington, D.C., hosted by JPMorgan Chase.

Stocks, already recovering from the prior day’s sell-off, soared higher after Bessent’s remarks were first reported.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced further details Tuesday on his plan to rid the American food supply of food dyes.

The Food and Drug Administration will take steps to eliminate synthetic dyes by the end of 2026, Commissioner Marty Makary said during the press conference.

Petroleum-based artificial colors will be phased out, which will lead to an ingredient overhaul among a litany of U.S. products.

A progressive district attorney has declined to charge the state employee in Tim Walz-led Minnesota who was allegedly caught causing $20,000 damage by vandalizing half a dozen Teslas — a decision the local police chief ripped as the latest betrayal of victims.

The suspected vandal, 33-year-old Minnesota government employee Dylan Bryan Adams, was allegedly spotted keying the vehicles and stripping their paint off while out walking his dog around the city.

Despite what police believe to be evidence of Adams committing felonies, Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty will seek diversion rather than criminal charges.

At 94 years old, leftist billionaire George Soros has established the blueprint for how his enormous Open Society Foundations, fueled with $32 billion of his fortune, will continue fulfilling his dark vision throughout the world under the leadership of his more extreme son Alex. Part of that vision involves using the ever-evolving specter of climate change as a springboard to impel the world towards a New World Order.

The utopia that the elder Soros envisions is one that has banned fossil fuels, with everyday human existence regulated into oblivion. The COVID pandemic in 2020 provided what he called a “revolutionary moment” to recognize what kind of social control could be accomplished.

MRC Business, in partnership with Bongino Report, conducted a three-month investigation into the Soros empire’s reach into the global climate-change movement.

Pope Francis, who died Monday at 88 years old, is due to be laid to rest in the days ahead following a Saturday funeral service sure to draw leaders from around the world.

The death of the head of the Catholic church came weeks after he was released from a Rome hospital following a life-threatening battle with respiratory ailments. Francis had returned in late-March to the Vatican and had seemed to be improving in health.

On Easter Sunday, the pope made what would be his final public appearance when he emerged onto St. Peter’s Square to thousands of gathered faithful.
