A devastating barn fire in rural Georgia claimed the lives of 26 horses. The Forsyth County Fire Department revealed that when responders reached the scene at Blue Springs Farm, the fire had already engulfed the barn and the stables inside, with the blaze having likely been burning for a while before being discovered. The facility, known for equestrian training, summer camps, and horse boarding, had 32 stalls. No human injuries were reported. Firefighters, upon encountering the massive blaze, adopted a defensive approach until the structure was completely destroyed along with the horses. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is determined to eliminate the special counsel's office following the indictment of former President Donald Trump on charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States. Greene intends to use the Holman Rule, which was reinstated by House Republicans to bypass the committee hearings process and defund the special counsel's office directly in the appropriations bill for fiscal year 2024. She believes these investigations are baseless and an attack on conservative Americans. Greene has also introduced resolutions targeting various officials and government bodies, emphasizing her opposition to what she perceives as a weaponized government and FBI.

Weird news:
A palm oil plantation worker named Falmira De Jesus, 38, miraculously survived a crocodile attack while collecting water from a stream. The crocodile dragged her into a swamp, prompting her to fight back and call for help. Despite efforts by other workers who were too scared to enter the water, they used poles to eventually rescue her after about 90 minutes of struggle. De Jesus sustained severe injuries to her arms and legs and was taken to a hospital for treatment. She expressed gratitude for her rescuers and recalled her harrowing experience, still haunted by the memory of the crocodile's attack.
