SUMMARY: Democrats hosted a town hall in Congresswoman Ann Wagner’s district as part of their effort to reclaim Congress in next year’s midterms. Senator Chris Murphy addressed a crowd of over 1,000, criticizing Wagner and the Trump administration. Although billed as a people’s town hall, the event resembled a political rally led by Democratic activists. Voters voiced concerns about immigration policies and inflation. Wagner, attending Pope Francis’s funeral with a congressional delegation, dismissed the event as a “contrived Democrat spectacle” in a statement. Democrats have yet to announce a candidate to challenge Wagner.  

Hundreds of voters were at the town hall to express disapproval of the Trump Administration and call on Congresswoman Ann Wagner, R-Mo., to host a town hall in her district. She is currently travelling to Rome as part of a bipartisan delegation attending the funeral of Pope Francis.

SUMMARY: Nearly two years after six members of an online cult called the University of Cosmic Intelligence vanished from their homes in St. Louis County, there are still no leads. Among the missing is 25-year-old Michaela Wicker and her three-year-old daughter, Millenia. The cult, led by convicted child molester Reshad Jamal, has been linked to various crimes, including human trafficking. Loved ones believe Michaela was struggling with mental health issues and was convinced by the cult to sever ties with her family. Authorities warn parents to monitor their children’s online activities to prevent similar situations. Michaela’s case will be featured on America’s Most Wanted Missing Persons.

Police say the individuals were part of an online cult that reportedly has 10,000 followers. All six disappeared without a trace, with some believing they may be in Mexico. FOX 2’s Max Diekneite reports.
