Bombing at California IVF Clinic Linked to Anti-Life Ideology, Experts Warn of Rising Violence

Bitcoin reached an all-time high of over $111,000 on Thursday, continuing its remarkable bull run in 2025, despite declines in US stock markets, particularly the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Analysts attribute this surge to heightened institutional interest, with significant inflows into bitcoin investment products amounting to $557 million last week, raising year-to-date totals to $7.5 billion, according to Nexo Dispatch analyst Iliya Kalchev. Regulatory developments in the United States are also bolstering market confidence. The GENIUS Act, aimed at providing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, advanced in the Senate, potentially alleviating compliance concerns for cryptocurrency firms. Lane Rettig, head of research at Near Foundation, emphasized the importance of ensuring regulatory clarity without imposing excessive burdens on startups. Supply dynamics contribute significantly to Bitcoin's price rise, as reserves on centralized exchanges have dwindled to historic lows. Data from CryptoQuant indicates that 7,206 BTC were withdrawn from exchanges in the last 24 hours alone. With ongoing demand and reduced supply, analysts expect Bitcoin's rally may continue, with Standard Chartered forecasting prices could eventually reach $200,000.

A tragic incident unfolded in Masonville, New York, where 33-year-old Drew Garnier fatally stabbed his pregnant wife, Samantha Garnier, after learning they were expecting another girl, according to the Delaware County District Attorney's Office. The attack, which occurred in September 2024, also left their two daughters, Izzie, 6, and Adelina, 9, seriously injured. The father of the victim, Gregory Vernagallo, expressed his grief in court, stating that Garnier's actions stemmed from the disappointment of not having a son. The newborn girl was reportedly due just weeks before Samantha's 30th birthday. Following the domestic violence incident, Garnier was arrested and later pleaded guilty to first-degree homicide, resulting in a 30-year prison sentence along with a 15-year supervised release. As part of the sentence, Garnier is prohibited from visiting his daughters until 2056 unless they choose to override this restriction. Vernagallo has since adopted the girls, affirming his commitment to providing them with a loving home despite the tragedy.
