The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that it’s investigating several major American grocers concerning massive spikes in beef prices.

“@JusticeATR has expanded its investigation to include 8 of the largest grocers when it comes to beef affordability,” the DOJ posted on X.

“@ASGWoodward sent letters to the following regarding the recent increases in the retail price for beef: Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Albertsons, Aldi, Ahold Delhaize USA, Costco, Amazon.”

“Beef prices are a critical concern to Americans, and a priority for this Justice Department.”

This news comes nearly four months after the DOJ launched a probe against top meatpackers JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef to investigate possible antitrust violations, Fox Business reported.

Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press conference back in May, revealing that federal officials have been examining three million pertinent documents while contacting “industry participants, including ranchers, cattlemen, producers, and processors,” for potential interviews.

Senator John Fetterman may be a Democrat, but he has also been one of the most vocal critics of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

During a recent appearance on FOX News, Fetterman dropped some serious truths about the DSA, saying that they are anti-American, but buried in his comments was a huge truth about these people that doesn’t get mentioned nearly enough.

Fetterman says, ‘they want to impoverish middle class whites’ and that is absolutely correct. Listen to any one of them talk long enough and they will eventually link capitalism to white supremacy.

It’s not true, but it is one of their favorite talking points.

Breitbart News reports:

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called out the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for being “deeply anti-American” and for wanting to “impoverish middle class” white people.

During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Hannity went over the DSA’s agenda and how they want to “eliminate the Senate,” grant amnesty to illegal aliens, and abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and prisons, among other things. Hannity went on to ask Fetterman if he agrees “with any part” of what he mentioned.

“Of course not. Like, the DSA, they’re deeply anti-American,” Fetterman said. “They’re deeply anti-capitalism. They’re deeply anti-the American way of life.”

Despite the majority of citizens (including Democrats), who don’t want non-citizens on Michigan’s voter rolls, Michigan Secretary of State and Democrat candidate for governor, Jocelyn Benson, isn’t giving up the fight to keep non-citizens on the voter rolls and prevent any petition by the people, government entity, or even U.S. Supreme Court from identifying and removing them.

Michigan voters, regardless of political party, do NOT want non-citizens voting in their elections. In fact, a whopping 87% of voters evenly split between Democrats and Republicans in Michigan said in a recent Remington Group poll that they are not in favor of non-citizens voting in Michigan elections.

America’s dirtiest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is not about representing the people she was elected to represent, she is, and always has been, about looking out for her own special interests. Jocelyn Benson and her right hand man, Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater, have done everything within their power to ensure non-citizens are not only placed on Michigan’s voter rolls, but ensuring they maintain the sole authority to identify them.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was recently speaking to Larry Kudlow of the FOX Business Network about the economy and the topic of socialism and the DSA came up.

Bessent’s description of the voters who are supporting the DSA was positively brutal, but completely accurate.

Victor Davis Hanson and others have described these people as overeducated and downwardly mobile. Bessent’s description wasn’t too far off from that.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

LARRY KUDLOW: I was talking last night at dinner. We’re seeing the people that finance ministers are sitting next to at your head table. So we’re seeing free enterprise move through this hemisphere, very interesting. A lot of overturning of the left and socialism, moving back towards free market economics. Argentina is probably the best example, but by far not the only example.

I sat next to the finance minister of Poland. He was talking about the reforms. I sat next to the finance minister of Italy, who was moaning and groaning that he can’t get his reforms through, but he had the right idea…

TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT: Look, I agree. And we’ve seen some great examples. I think we have a generational opportunity in the Western Hemisphere. As you said, it was led by Argentina and the reforms there. Everyone said it couldn’t be done. And now we are seeing the inflation drop, the change in economic circumstances.

The Islamic Center of Irving, which operates the Islamic School of Irving, faces a civil lawsuit alleging school officials failed to call police after a woman reported that a 14-year-old former student raped her while she cleaned the school.

The 22-page petition, filed Aug. 24 in Dallas County’s 193rd Judicial District Court under cause No. DC-26-16400, seeks more than $1 million and a jury trial.

The case names the Islamic Center of Irving, doing business as the Islamic School of Irving; Naheed Kunnamal, in his capacity as school board president; the North American Islamic Trust, which the petition says owns the property; and Gaddoor Saidi, in his capacity as the trust’s board chairman.

The civil case remains pending. The defendants have not admitted liability, and the court has not adjudicated Doe’s allegations.

Independent journalist Breanna Morello first reported the lawsuit Monday. “Did the Islamic School of Irving attempt to cover up for a violent rape that allegedly took place there?” Morello wrote on X.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has publicly rallied behind far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, attacking both parties for criticizing the controversial commentator as a growing number of Democrats distance themselves from his rhetoric about American Jews.

The DSA lashed out at Democrats, Republicans, and the media while also condemning a Republican-led House resolution denouncing socialism.

“The establishment: Ds, Rs + media, have pivoted from DSA wins to personal attacks, racist dog whistles, symbolic House resolutions, and an obsession with a Twitch streamer,” the DSA’s official X account wrote.

“What would happen if they devoted that same attention to the thousands of Americans who die each year because they can’t afford healthcare?”

Democrats might have a messaging problem, but they also have a ground game to render rural America irrelevant in elections.

emocrat elites despise rural voters. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels paved the way for their contempt by writing in The Communist Manifesto that the migration from small communities to large urban centers has “rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life.” Nearly 200 years later, it seems there is a migration in reverse, with elites invading the hinterlands to “rescue” rural folk from their continued idiocy.

One case in point is the recent episode at Wydaho Roasters, a coffee shop in deep-red Idaho, owned by a pro-abortion couple from deep-blue St. Paul, Minnesota, Jim and Mary Sheehan. Jim Sheehan has said his coffee house welcomes everyone. But in mid-August, when a pro-life group met there to quietly discuss how to defeat Idaho’s Proposition 1, a referendum that would allow abortions up to 24 weeks gestation, when babies are over a foot long and can survive outside the womb, Sheehan kicked them out. Kristan Hawkins, leader of the group of more than a dozen pro-lifers, posted a video of the incident:

They say that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. We’re seeing this in real time in 2026 when it comes to the rise of Islam in the West.

Muslim populations in Europe, Canada, Australia, and right here in the United States are growing at a rapid clip—so is the building of mosques. What makes this mass immigration so unprecedented is that these new Muslim arrivals have been welcomed in by their host countries. Despite approximately 1,400 years of confrontation between Islam and the West and jihad after jihad launched against non-Muslims, today’s so-called Western leaders apparently think this time will be different.

If you understand Islamic history, you know how dangerously wrong they are.

The armies of Islam roared out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century. They violently conquered much of the known world, from the Middle East and North Africa to South Asia and swaths of Europe. They drove as far as central France before being turned back and reached the gates of Vienna twice.

Rome was sacked by Muslim armies. Sicily, Hungary, Greece, and the Balkans all came under Islamic control. The crown jewel of Islam’s European conquests was Spain, which was ruled by Muslims for nearly 800 years before they were finally expelled in 1492.

Given that history, you would think that Spain would be reluctant to throw open its doors to Islam. But that’s exactly what the socialist government of Pedro Sánchez has done, granting amnesty to some one million Muslim migrants and watching helplessly earlier this month when tens of thousands of Moroccan Muslims stormed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

Many of them will now stay in Ceuta, transforming it, or move on to other parts of Europe. Either Sánchez is completely ignorant and naive to allow this, or he’s doing it intentionally.

It is not surprising whatsoever that nearly every House Democrat voted against a Republican-led resolution condemning socialism, giving Republicans fresh campaign material for the upcoming midterm elections amid the rise of the cancerous Democratic Socialists of America within the increasingly unhinged left-wing party.

The nonbinding resolution, introduced by Republican Rep. Jeff Crank of Colorado, called on Congress to denounce “socialism in all its forms,” reject socialist policies in the US and support implementation of President Trump’s election-security legislation.

The measure passed 220-192. All Republicans supported it, along with eight Democrats: Kathy Castor, Vicente Gonzalez, Henry Cuellar, Darren Soto, Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Don Davis and Gabe Vasquez.

“The DSA candidate platform stands in direct contrast to our republic,” Crank, who introduced the measure, said ahead of the vote. “Getting rid of the United States Senate, open borders, defunding the police, allowing non-citizens to vote in federal elections; those aren’t consistent with our Constitution.”

To better understand DSA, we recently published a five-tiered “rainbow cake” mapping out the modern left, which places DSA on the far left within the reformist-socialist cohort.

(SALISBURY, MD) – Maryland State Police arrested a Salisbury man in connection with a fatal shooting in Wicomico County Thursday evening.

The accused is identified as Gage Mitchell, 29, of Salisbury, Maryland. Following consultation with the Office of the State’s Attorney in Wicomico County, he is charged with first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and other firearm-related charges. He is at the Wicomico County Detention Center, where he is held without bond.

Shortly after 8 p.m. yesterday, troopers from the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack responded to a residence on the 400-block of Ethels Way for a report of a shooting. Upon arrival on the scene, troopers located a female victim, later identified as Jordan Holt, 29, of Salisbury, with an apparent gunshot wound. The preliminary investigation indicates that Holt and Mitchell were involved in a verbal altercation at the residence when Mitchell shot Holt. Mitchell then fled the residence. Troopers located Mitchell shortly thereafter, and he was arrested without incident. Holt was pronounced deceased on the scene by emergency medical services personnel.

Crime Scene Technicians from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division responded to the scene to process evidence and a firearm was subsequently recovered.

Additional assistance was provided by the Maryland State Police Aviation Command and Criminal Enforcement Division, as well as officers and deputies from the Fruitland Police Department, Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, and Salisbury Police Department.

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit continues to lead the active and ongoing investigation.

WASHINGTON — Department of Veterans Affairs national cemeteries will host a day of service and remembrance to honor victims of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Public Law 107–89 established Sept. 11 as Patriot Day, and the law encourages Americans to honor victims of the 9/11 attacks.

This year’s events take place on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 10:00 am (local time)at more than 140 VA and state Veteran cemeteries and will include opportunities for community volunteers to clean headstones and participate in other cemetery beautification activities.

Forty-seven Veterans and dependents who died because of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 are buried or memorialized in VA national cemeteries, mostly at the Calverton and Long Island National Cemeteries in New York. More than 16,000 Global War on Terror Veterans have been interred in VA national cemeteries nationwide.

VA’s National Cemetery Administration this year is collaborating with the nonprofit organization Carry The Load to host events across the nation that allow volunteers to observe Patriot Day.

“As our nation marks the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, VA national cemeteries offer a meaningful place to honor the courage and sacrifice of that day,” said VA Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Sam Brown. “I invite all Americans to join us at one of our participating cemeteries as we honor and preserve the legacies of the victims, first responders, service members, and families forever changed by the 9/11 attacks.”

“As we come together on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Carry The Load’s National Day of Service and Remembrance gives Americans a meaningful way to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost,” said Stephen Holley, president and co-founder of Carry The Load and a U.S. Navy SEAL Veteran. “Through service at national cemeteries across the country, we come together to honor the families, first responders, military members and communities forever changed by 9/11 and carry their stories and sacrifices forward.”

(SNOW HILL, MD) – Maryland State Police are investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash that claimed the life of a 21-year-old man this morning in Worcester County.

The deceased is identified as Nijee Williams-Seck, 21, of Virginia Beach, Virginia. He was the driver of a Nissan Maxima and pronounced deceased on the scene by emergency medical services personnel. A passenger in the Nissan, a 17-year-old female, was flown by Maryland State Police Aviation Command to a local trauma center. The driver of a Freightliner box truck, a 36-year-old male, was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Shortly before 10:30 a.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police Berlin Barrack responded to Snow Hill Road at St. Lukes Road for a report of a two-vehicle crash. According to a preliminary investigation, the Nissan was traveling northbound on Snow Hill Road, when, for unknown reasons, crossed into the southbound lanes, where it struck the Freightliner.

Troopers from the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division responded to the scene. Additional assistance is being provided by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, and Snow Hill emergency medical services personnel.

All lanes remain closed for the crash investigation. The Maryland State Police Crash Team is leading the active and ongoing investigation.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to statewide office in Minnesota and a convert from Catholicism, has quietly returned at least $12,500 in campaign cash from Somali figures tied to the massive Feeding Our Future welfare fraud after a secret recording surfaced of him huddling with the same crowd to fend off state investigators.

According to the Center of the American Experiment, the five refunded contributions included donations from Gandi Yusuf Mohamed and Liban Alishire, both of whom became defendants in the Feeding Our Future case.

As The Gateway Pundit reported in December, the 54-minute recording, obtained by the Center of the American Experiment and later entered as a trial exhibit, captured Ellison schmoozing with Somali-American operators who would later be charged or convicted in the Feeding Our Future scheme that looted more than $250 million in federal child-nutrition money meant for hungry kids.

The meeting participants complained that state regulators were acting in a “racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic manner” by asking questions about phantom meal sites.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he was blindsided after two Democrats defected and joined the Republicans to force a vote on a resolution condemning Socialism.

In a 210-208 vote, Democrat Reps. Dan Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez joined the Republicans to advance the resolution.

Later Tuesday, the House adopted the resolution in a 220-192-2 vote.

CBS News reported:

The House on Tuesday adopted a resolution to denounce socialism “in all its forms” in a political messaging exercise ahead of the November elections.

The House adopted the resolution in a 220 to 192 to 2 vote, with eight Democrats voting with all Republicans in favor. Two Democrats voted present.

The Democrats who supported the resolution included Reps. Kathy Castor of Florida, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Jared Golden of Maine, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Darren Soto of Florida and Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico. Those who voted present were Reps. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania and Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire.

GOP leaders scheduled the vote after Democratic primary voters embraced a number of democratic socialist candidates. Republicans connected those wins to their own push to pass President Trump’s signature voting regulations bill, the SAVE America Act. The resolution also reaffirms their support for the legislation that has been stalled for months in the Senate, where it lacks even a simple majority

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin did not accept the usual press conference dodge about illegal truckers.

Standing with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in Detroit on Monday, he was asked, in effect, to treat a small percentage of wrecks as if that settled the argument.

Mullin refused.

“Every single illegal that maims or kills an individual is 100 percent preventable,” he said in a clip posted by DHS and amplified on his own account.

The GOP-led US House of Representatives censured creepy Rep. Chuck Edwards on Tuesday.

Earlier this year, Edwards was investigated and censured by the House Committee on Ethics over allegations that he had behaved inappropriately with female staffers.

Rep. Edwards withdrew from his reelection campaign after the House Ethics Committee recommended the censure.

The stunning withdrawal came just two days after the bipartisan House Ethics Committee released a report recommending that the full House censure Edwards over what investigators described as “persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct” toward two young female staffers.

According to the committee’s official report, investigators conducted 16 witness interviews and reviewed nearly 1,500 pages of evidence.

According to the report, Edwards provided the young women with lavish and recurrent gifts including jewelry totaling over $1,000, designer purses, guns, shoes, flowers, a KitchenAid mixer, a robotic vacuum, vacations, tickets to performances, and one-on-one dinners.

He was too kind to the younger staffers and they thought it was creepy.

DHS urges Ocean County Jail to honor ICE detainers as Gov Sherrill’s sanctuary policy faces renewed scrutiny

An illegal immigrant from Guatemala was charged with manslaughter after allegedly crashing into a mother and her two children, killing her 9-month-old son, in a New Jersey grocery store parking lot Friday, according to authorities.

A 9-month-old boy was pronounced dead at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune after Maria Cobon-Guzman allegedly struck his mother and the baby carriage carrying him and his 5-year-old sister in the parking lot of a kosher grocery store in Jackson on Friday.

“An innocent baby would still be alive today had it not been for Joe Biden’s disastrous open border and reckless immigration policy that released countless illegal aliens into our country,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Ex-Indiana deputy charged with felony for allegedly using Flock cameras to stalk girlfriend

Man faces official misconduct and fraud charges after an internal audit of Flock camera technology

A former Indiana sheriff’s deputy was charged with abusing access to Flock camera technology to stalk his girlfriend for over the period of a year by allegedly conducting more than 2,000 searches for her license plate.

Skylar Thompson, 31, faces one count of official misconduct as a Level 6 felony and a misdemeanor count of fraud.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department discovered that Thompson used the Flock technology to conduct the searches between Dec. 31, 2025, and Aug. 2 during an internal audit of the system, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office said.

A Utah judge has set a hearing for Sept. 1 to consider whether the high-profile case against conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler James Robinson, 23, should go to trial.

Judge Tony Graf Jr. also must weigh whether to uphold seven charges against Robinson, including one carrying a potential death sentence.

Based on evidence presented during a five-day preliminary hearing in early July, prosecutors and defense lawyers will argue at 10 a.m. MDT in the Fourth District Court in Provo, Utah.

Lawyers representing Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, urged Graf to rule by Sept. 1, a court record says, arguing against any “undue delay” while preserving Robinson’s right to a fair trial.

It was unknown whether the judge would comply with that request.

By law, the judge’s sole task is to decide whether there is probable cause—a required step before the case can head to trial, prosecutors noted.

That legal standard “requires ‘evidence sufficient to support a reasonable belief that an offense has been committed and that the defendant committed it,’” prosecutors explained in a news release, citing state law.

If Graf finds probable cause, he must “bind over” the case for trial; otherwise, the judge must dismiss the charges, and prosecutors could resubmit the charges later.

Home Office data also recorded nine referrals in 2022 involving children aged 12 or younger where there was no overseas element and the potential or actual forced marriage was entirely within the UK.

At least 100 children aged 12 or younger were referred to the UK government’s Forced Marriage Unit over suspected or potential forced marriages between 2021 and 2025, with 27 of those children aged five or younger.

The figures, obtained through a freedom of information request, show that 62 of the children referred were aged 10 or below. Some data was withheld by the Home Office because the small numbers could potentially identify individuals, reports the Daily Mail.

Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, who fled her home in Derby after facing the prospect of a forced marriage at age 14, called the ages of some of the children “deeply disturbing.” Sanghera also warned that children could be missing from school when classes resume following the summer break.

“I know that when schools open in September, there will be missing children,” she said. “The opportunity to identify them was pre-school holidays. Is somebody going to ask where they are, or are they simply just going to go off school roll? Or children will come back engaged or even married.”

Police said the mother gave birth around 11 pm on Saturday in the employee bathroom, and the boy was discovered on Sunday morning by another employee.

A mother has been arrested after her newborn baby was found abandoned inside the bathroom of a New York ShopRite supermarket where she worked. The newborn, a baby boy, was left alone for seven hours.

Per ABC 7, police said the mother gave birth around 11 pm on Saturday in the employee bathroom of the City Center ShopRite in White Plains and left him there. The boy was discovered on Sunday morning by another employee, who called 911.

The baby was taken to White Plains Hospital and is in stable condition. The mother is in stable condition, receiving medical care due to giving birth outside of a hospital.

White Plains Police Sgt. Claudio Benavides said, “The mother is currently in custody receiving treatment for this recent birth. The child is being taken care of by Child Protective Services and we are talking to the DA about charges.”

A ShopRite spokesperson said in a statement, “We can confirm that a newborn infant was discovered in the restroom by store associates, who immediately called 911 and cared for the baby until emergency responders arrived and transported the infant to a local hospital.”

The White Plains Department of Public Safety said, “The circumstances surrounding this event are heart-wrenching, and our thoughts remain with the infant during their recovery.”

A federal judge blocked New York’s $75 billion climate superfund law Monday, ruling the state cannot force energy companies to pay for global greenhouse gas emissions.

Chief U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes — an appointee of former President Barack Obama — sided with a coalition of Republican-led states and energy groups challenging New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act, finding that it is preempted by federal law and granting the challengers’ motions for summary judgment. The ruling comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in October for Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, a landmark climate case.

“In seeking damages ‘for the cumulative impact’ of conduct that has occurred ‘simultaneously across just about every jurisdiction on the planet[,]’ the Climate Act conflicts with ‘the overriding . . . need for a uniform rule of decision’ on matters influencing national energy and environmental policy, and . . . ‘basic interests of federalism.’” Sannes’ memorandum reads.

The climate superfund law should survive regardless of which legal standard the court applied, New York argued. But Sannes disagreed, finding that the law was not entitled to the usual benefit of the doubt courts sometimes give state laws when deciding whether they are overridden by federal law.

“This is because these disputes ‘often implicate two federal interests that are incompatible with the application of state law: (i) the ‘overriding need for a uniform rule of decision’ on matters influencing national energy and environmental policy, and (ii) ‘basic interests of federalism,’” the Obama-appointed judge wrote in the memorandum.

That legal principle, known as the “presumption against preemption,” generally requires courts to hesitate before concluding that Congress intended federal law to displace a state’s authority. Sannes found that presumption did not protect New York’s law and ultimately concluded that the Clean Air Act preempts the state’s attempt to impose liability for greenhouse gas emissions originating outside its borders.

The Climate Change Superfund Act requires major fossil fuel companies to collectively pay $75 billion over 25 years based on their alleged share of greenhouse gas emissions between 2000 and 2024. New York intended to use the money for infrastructure projects designed to address costs attributed to “climate change.”

The Supreme Court’s Suncor case is centered on whether states and local governments can use state law to hold fossil fuel companies liable for alleged harms tied to global greenhouse gas emissions.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial has become a culture war phenomenon. It has been one of the hottest topics on social media for weeks, and now everyone is waiting for the verdict. Even though there are so many things of extraordinary importance that are happening in our world right now, much of the population is absolutely fixated on this case. This is particularly true for one particular demographic.

Large numbers of liberal women have become obsessed with Lindsay Clancy, and they have been following this trial with a passion. If Lindsay Clancy is ultimately found guilty, those women will go completely and totally nuts.

After a third day of deliberations, a lot of us were shocked when the jury was still unable to come to a verdict and was dismissed until Tuesday morning…

The jury weighing Lindsay Clancy’s fate asked to go home for the evening and has been dismissed until Tuesday morning, ending another day of deliberations without a verdict.

The panel of nine women and three men, led by a female foreperson, must decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children, or whether, as the defense argues, she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions or conform her conduct to the law. Prosecutors contend she knew right from wrong and acted deliberately.

Jurors may find Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter, acquit her, or find her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.

I think that it is pretty obvious that the jury is deadlocked.

On Monday, two of the female jurors were wearing pink.

Of course wearing pink has become a way for liberal women all over the country to demonstrate that they support Lindsay Clancy.

So that is really bad news for the prosecution.

The stakes are incredibly high, because if Clancy is found guilty she will go to prison for a very long time, but if she is found not criminally responsible she will continue to remain at Tewksbury State Hospital…

We’re going to have a longer post about this later today, but Canada’s biggest chip in their trade negotiations was oil and gas. That’s no longer the case. The Venezuelan oil deal and its provisions were released by the White House yesterday, and well, our neighbors to the North have lost a lot of leverage.

From Fox Business’ Elizabeth McDonald:

Canada’s premiers now concerned that Trump’s deal for the US to control 65B barrels of Venezuelan oil will replace Canadian crude and reduce Canada’s influence in the market. 90% – 95% of Canada’s oil exports go to the U.S., worth about $126B. Venezuela could cut that by 40% starting in just a couple of years, oil pros say, so long as Venezuela can get its oil infrastructure back up and running that was destroyed by communism.

Plus Venezuela’s heavy crude can be easily shipped to Gulf Coast refineries specifically configured to process heavy, sour crude they specifically need. Canada’s problem is that Venezuela can more quickly deliver heavy crude the U.S. Gulf Coast by tanker, while Canada has to move much of its oil thousands of miles by pipeline. If Venezuela can restore production, U.S. refiners could have a new, nearby source of the heavy crude they need—and Canada could lose some of its leverage in its biggest market.

Speaker Mike Johnson walked out Tuesday and did something Washington hates. He named the scheme. Then he scheduled a vote.

The House will take up a proposed constitutional amendment Wednesday to lock the Supreme Court at nine justices. Johnson is bringing it under suspension of the rules, which means Democrats cannot hide behind procedure. Two-thirds of the House has to say yes. Every member goes on the record.

We are going to bring a constitutional amendment. It is a bill to amend the U.S. Constitution to ensure that the U.S. Supreme Court remains composed of only 9 justices. We will keep the nine!

Then the line that actually matters.

We WILL have them put their money where their mouth is!

That is the point. Not a fantasy that 38 states ratify this by Friday. The point is forcing the party that spent five years screaming about a “stolen Court” to vote, in public, on whether the Court should stay a Court or become a rubber stamp they can inflate whenever they lose.

For those of us who’ve been forced into following the Lindsay Clancy trial, the question didn’t seem to be if the mother’s case would present a moral contagion, but when the contagion would hit.

The answer apparently is, sooner than we would have thought.

In Durham County Superior Court in North Carolina, attorneys for a 41-year-old mother who killed her child informed the court they intend to use an insanity plea based on “postpartum psychosis.”

And, in a statement to WRAL-TV, the attorney for the mother drew specific parallels between her client’s case and that of Clancy.

Andrea Faust faces murder and attempted murder charges after she killed her 3-year-old and tried to kill her 2-year-old. She was found incapable of proceeding to trial after two suicide attempts and evidence she was planning another behind bars.

Police identified the attacker as 39-year-old Pamela Cisneros of Queens, describing the attack as “random and unprovoked.”

The victim killed in a stabbing attack that took place in Times Square on Monday has been identified as a Bank of America Corp vice president. Another person was injured in the attack, and the woman who carried out the stabbing spree was killed by police.

The NYPD said that Erin Piacenti, 32, died at the hospital. The other victim, a 68-year-old man, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, per ABC 7. Police identified the attacker as 39-year-old Pamela Cisneros of Queens, describing the attack as “random and unprovoked.”

Piacenti, of Chester, New Jersey, was working as the Vice President of Business Selection and Conflicts at Bank of America in New York City, per the New York Post. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016, and was a 2021 graduate of Fordham Law School. She had celebrated her second wedding anniversary in early August.

The incident began with the woman stabbing a man and a woman near West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue shortly before 4:30 pm. The man was stabbed in the abdomen with a kitchen knife after he exited the subway on West 41st Street. Cisneros then continued up 7th Avenue to 42nd Street, where she stabbed Piancenti in the abdomen. Police said that the stabbing occurred within seconds of each other.

A major lawsuit was submitted by Fulton County, Pennsylvania officials against Dominion Voting Systems in September 2022.

The lawsuit focused on violations of their contract, certification issues, connectivity issues, and the alleged presence of foreign databases and scripts on the systems. Some of the claims are on par with the “debunked” rumors associated with the “most secure election ever” claims, including internet connectivity, outdated security protections, remote accessibility, and random USBs inserted.

From the lawsuit:

46. On or after November 2020, Fulton County became aware of severe
anomalies in the Dominion Voting Systems due to the inaccuracy and/or inability
to reconcile voter data with votes actually cast and counted, i.e., tabulated, by the
System in Fulton County

47. On or after November 2020, Fulton County became aware of certain
factors and aspects of the Dominion Voting Systems that did not meet the
“conditions” for certification set forth in the January 2019 / February 2019
certification report

Rep. Maxine Waters recently told followers that the Democrats are doing ‘pretty good’ with regards to the midterms, before warning people that when it comes to Democrats vs. DSA leftists, that the ‘white media’ is trying to divide Democrats in a quest for ratings.

How is this woman a member of Congress? Every time she opens her mouth, something incredibly stupid and offensive comes out.

Which media outlet do you suppose she is referring to here? CNN? MSNOW? They’re talking about this subject.

From the Western Lensman:

Maxine Waters claims something called “white media” wants a Dem establishment vs Democrat Socialist fight.

With the midterm elections approaching, you would think that Democrats would want to campaign with the last two members of their party to occupy the White House.

Not this time.

Dems running for election in 2026 want absolutely nothing to do with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The Gateway Pundit recently reported on how this is happening in Iowa, but it is happening all over the place. Dems are avoiding Biden and Harris like the plague.

ABC News reports:

With less than 70 days until the midterm election, some Democrats running in the most conservative areas are sending a clear message to former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris: stay out of their races.

In Iowa, Democratic Senate nominee state Rep. Josh Turek — who has welcomed the support of former President Barack Obama and has twice won a seat in a district that voted for President Donald Trump — was asked if Harris should campaign for him. He simply said “No.”…

There are roughly 150 trained exorcists serving Catholic dioceses in the United States, up from about two dozen fifteen years ago, and they cannot keep pace with the requests coming in. In March, representatives of the International Association of Exorcists asked Pope Leo XIV to make sure every diocese on earth has at least one priest trained for the work, citing a spreading problem they traced to occult sects, esotericism, and Satanism. Demand is outrunning supply, and the men doing the work say the trend line is going the wrong direction.

All of this is happening in a country where a majority of adults, if you hand them a survey, will tell you the devil is a metaphor.

The worldly view is that Americans have simply gotten more superstitious, that the horror movies won and the rest is TikTok. The truth is that these are not two competing facts. They are one fact, observed from two angles. Are horror movies, video games, TikTok, or drugs contributing to the acceptance of demonic influence? Yes. That’s because they are not replacements for the supernatural. They are tools of the adversary.

Our civilization did not stop believing in the supernatural. We renamed it and gave it excuses. Then, we stopped believing in the only One capable of protecting it from the rest of the supernatural. The house was not fortified. It was emptied. And empty houses do not stay empty.

Academia, as it is currently constituted, is incompatible with the societal need for civics and humanities “education.”

The public exposure, resignation, and subsequent death of the British fabulist Jason Arday have reignited the longstanding (if not eternal) debate about the purpose of higher education in our society and whether it is fulfilling that purpose. On the one side, conservatives are frustrated because, to them, the Arday case is emblematic: universities today are overwhelmingly leftist; leftists dominate the humanities and liberal arts faculties, and leftists are rewarded for poor or even fraudulent scholarship simply because it reinforces the preexisting beliefs of their contemporaries and superiors. On the other side, progressives and other leftists insist that the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment is definitionally a left-leaning enterprise, at least in contemporary society. Of course, leftists are overrepresented in academia; leftists seek awareness and understanding, while conservatives are simply less inquisitive and less interested in attaining knowledge, both temperamentally and practically, the latter for fear of learning that what they perceive as fairness and equality is, in reality, prejudice and discrimination.

Ironically, the progressives’ explanation is itself bigoted, in addition to being trite and largely self-serving. At the same time, however, the conservative account is inadequate. It describes the problem within academia today reasonably well but fails to explain why that problem exists. Indeed, it fails even to acknowledge that the problem has an underlying cause and isn’t merely the result of choice or happenstance.

As I have argued previously in these pages, as well as in my book, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital, higher education today, especially in the humanities and liberal arts, really is a project that appeals to men and women of the left far more than their right-leaning contemporaries. This isn’t because progressives are more inquisitive and temperamentally thirsty for knowledge, however. It’s because the higher education system, as we have built it, is less about the acquisition and transmission of knowledge and more about the “discovery” of “new” things. That credo works well in the hard sciences and mathematics, where true discovery is not merely possible but indispensable, but in the humanities and social sciences, it’s worse than useless. It encourages both frivolous and fraudulent “research,” which neither produces substantive gains in understanding nor transmits knowledge to students. This isn’t universally the case, of course, but it is frequently so, as the enduring debates over the Jason Ardays of the world demonstrate.

The case of Syracuse University is, I think, instructive here, offering both an explanation of how the preoccupation with knowledge “discovery” is ultimately destructive and a warning to American academia about the price it will likely pay for its frivolity and fraudulence.

Ninety-five men with no legal right to be in this country were sitting behind the wheels of commercial trucks in Arizona this month. They were not lost. They were licensed. Most of those papers came from the same two states that have spent years treating a commercial driver’s license like a participation trophy.

Fox News Digital reports that a multi-agency operation in Border Patrol’s Yuma Sector, running August 10 through 14, arrested 95 illegal alien truck drivers. Every one of them held a state-issued commercial driver’s license.

Seventy-six of those cards came from California. Six came from New York. The rest were sprinkled across a handful of other states that never should have handed an 80,000-pound rig to a man the federal government does not recognize as lawfully present.

This was not a paperwork sweep. Agents also broke up two human-smuggling events, arrested four smugglers, and pulled 17 smuggled aliens out of the pipeline. They seized 74 pounds of methamphetamine and 169 pounds of marijuana. In all, 143 suspects from 18 countries were taken off the road. The trucks were not just hauling freight. Some of them were hauling people and poison.

“We are committed to protecting our citizens from all international threats, whether that is from unlicensed or untrained drivers, or transnational criminal organizations engaged in human or drug trafficking,” Acting Chief Patrol Agent Dustin Caudle said.

Border crossings have collapsed under President Trump. Encounters fell from more than 144,000 in December 2024 to about 33,000 in July. The cartels noticed. They did not go home. They climbed into the cab.

The “climate crisis” headlines forced down the throats of the American people only began to emerge when socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and unhinged leftist Sen. Ed Markey introduced the Green New Deal in early 2019.

That was the moment when global-warming headlines spiked and the NGO complex ramped up activist networks through protests and an informational war in the press, tricking the public into supporting climate bills intended to solve a made-up crisis.

Fake News

By March 2019, those climate-crisis headlines had intensified as Democrats desperately tried but failed to pass the Green New Deal.

Aslew of candidates running as democratic socialists appears to be raising alarms with a majority of American voters, according to a new poll.

The Center Square’s Voters Voice Poll found 63% of Americans are concerned with the growth of socialism or communism in American politics, while 29% are not concerned.

Of the 63% concerned, 36% say they are very concerned, while 27% say they are somewhat concerned.

Only 13% of respondents said they are not at all concerned, while 16% said they aren’t too concerned about the rise of socialism in American politics.

The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll was conducted by Noble Predictive Insights from Aug. 12-16 and surveyed registered voters nationally via opt-in online panel and text-to-web cell phone messages. The sample included 2,533 respondents, comprised of 930 Republicans, 930 Democrats, and 673 Independents. Among independent voters, 330 respondents were classified as true independents, which are individuals who do not lean toward either major party when given the choice.

Heading into the midterm elections in November, Republicans and several Democratic voices have warned against democratic socialists rising to power across the country, with the backing of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

President Donald Trump recently warned against communism as he and his administration appear to be trying to drive home the threat as the campaign season gets into full swing.

“Communism is the greatest threat to our country in its history,” the president said during a rally touting his administration’s economic policies.

The towers came down in two hours. The dying has not stopped for twenty-five years.

New figures compiled by the World Trade Center Health Program and reported in a New York Post show certified 9/11 cancers jumping from 3,204 in 2015 to 57,044 this year. That is a 1,680 percent surge in a decade, and it is not slowing as the nation marks the grim anniversary of the attacks.

Here is the part that should knock the wind out of anyone still treating Ground Zero as a closed chapter. For the first time, civilian survivors now outnumber first responders on the cancer rolls. Downtown residents, office workers, and people who lived, worked, or went to school near The Pile account for 28,913 certified cases, up 4,066 percent from 694 in 2015. Firefighters, police, and other responders sit at 28,131.

The men who ran toward the fire are still getting sick. So are the people who were told to go back to work.

Thirty years of barbershop mythology just ran into a Nevada jury. Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the self-described South Side Compton Crips shot-caller who spent decades turning Tupac Shakur’s murder into a brand, is now a convicted first-degree murderer.

Fox News reported Monday that a Las Vegas jury found Davis guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon in the September 7, 1996 drive-by that killed the 25-year-old rapper. Jurors began deliberating after closing arguments. They had already sat through nine days of testimony from 24 prosecution witnesses and three for the defense.

Davis did not have to pull the trigger to own the crime. Nevada law does not require it. Prosecutors said he planned the shooting, supplied the gun, and sent a white Cadillac after the BMW carrying Shakur and Death Row Records boss Marion “Suge” Knight. Knight walked away with minor injuries. Shakur died six days later.

The motive was as old as Cain. Hours earlier, after Mike Tyson beat Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand, Shakur and his entourage jumped Davis’s nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, in the casino. Davis decided that beating would be answered with bullets on the Strip. Anderson himself was later shot dead in a Compton gang fight in 1998. The other men said to have been in that Cadillac are dead too. Davis was the last one left to face a courtroom.

After the publishing of George Orwell’s 1984, communist governments and organizations around the world condemned the book as “anti-Soviet slander” and “capitalist propaganda.” Orwell died only eight months after the book’s release and his personal feelings on the details of the story are limited to a few personal letters to friends and publishers.

Orwell was a Democratic Socialist, but even he was disturbed by the path that socialist movements had taken in light of genocidal far-left governments. His criticisms of Stalinist politics were treated by leftists as a betrayal.

However, it was Orwell’s depiction of women within authoritarian systems that angered the political left most of all. They have attacked 1984 for decades as “misogynistic”and “blind to gender oppression”. But as time passes, Orwell’s views on leftist women have proven more and more prophetic and they were written well before second wave feminism became a reality. In 1984, the character of Winston Smith described them thus:

“He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy…”

“She had not a thought in her head that was not a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none, that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her…”

A Florida-based technology firm is suing to find out whether the Obama administration obstructed its long-running patent litigation against a U.S.-based competitor that does business in China.

The Oversight Project, a watchdog group, filed a lawsuit on behalf of ParkerVision Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the National Archives and Records Administration.

The records case stems from a legal clash that began in 2011 over a patent dispute with California-based technology firm Qualcomm. ParkerVision asserts that Qualcomm incorporated technology ParkerVision patented.

The records lawsuit seeks to identify Obama administration officials who had access to computers that frequently visited the ParkerVision website from the White House, the Justice Department, and Air Force One.

“The White House only looked at our page about the patent litigation against Qualcomm. For whatever reason, the White House thought I was interesting,” ParkerVision CEO Jeff Parker told the Daily Signal.

Parker later found that the Justice Department made similar visits to the company’s website in March and April 2013, as did the law firm Covington & Burling, which previously employed then-Attorney General Eric Holder and has done lobbying work for Qualcomm.

“The White House, the Justice Department, and Covington Burling, my website was very popular,” Parker added. “Did something happen outside the courtroom in our case? I don’t want to accuse anyone of anything. But I’d just like to see the documents.”

According to ParkerVision, marketing software that tracks visitors to its website documented visits from the Obama White House to pages concerning ParkerVision’s patent litigation. Those visits occurred around the same period that Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs hosted a fundraiser at his home featuring President Barack Obama.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett says she will campaign “downballot” instead of helping the man who beat her win the Texas Senate seat Democrats haven’t held since 1988, a split that could hand Republicans an easy hold.

Crockett made the declaration on CNN’s Laura Coates Live, telling the host flatly that she has no plans to appear alongside James Talarico, the Democratic state senator who defeated her by six points in the party’s Senate primary earlier this year. Asked directly whether she would campaign with her former rival, Crockett declined and redirected, the Washington Examiner reported.

Her stated reason: she wants to spend her time “amplifying” candidates who “maybe are getting overshadowed.” She also said she didn’t “think that there is excitement” from Black voters in Texas this cycle, a blunt assessment that doubles as an indictment of the man her party chose to carry its banner against Republican Ken Paxton.

An innocent baby donkey named HeeHaw was brutally shot by a Georgia cop this weekend.

A police officer, who remains unnamed, was placed on administrative leave for killing HeeHaw in his own pasture after trespassing on Elsberry Riding and Farm in Rockmart, Polk County, without the owner’s consent.

The animal sanctuary shared the tragedy on Facebook, seeking justice for their beloved donkey: ‘At 12:45am cops entered my pasture searching for a missing person WITHOUT permission or warning and shot and killed my bottle raised BABY donkey.

‘They claimed he ran up to them braying and they thought they were in danger and shot and killed him after trying to taze him.’

Shocked users are mourning HeeHaw’s murder, demanding the release of body camera footage and suggesting taking legal action against the injustice.

One user commented: ‘If a cop is afraid of a baby donkey, they should have never signed up. Seek legal counsel.’

Another one wrote: ‘There is no way they thought they were in imminent danger of bodily harm from a tiny donkey like that.’

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said its agency was not involved in the shooting but noted officers from the Polk County Police Department and the Cedartown Police Department were.

A top prosecutor who has worked in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office for two years has alleged he was instructed to target President Donald Trump and his allies with lawfare.

New York Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld made the bombshell accusation in an internal email sent Friday morning to over 2,000 department employees, as reported by the Times Union.

He wrote that his bureau chief, Shamiso Maswoswe, had directed him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)… without having a credible reason for targeting this organizations and individuals.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci said an aide should delete an email about risky research his agency was funding, according to documents released on Aug. 29 by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

“Please delete this e-mail and then delete from the deleted file,” Fauci told Dr. Clifford Lane, a senior official at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in a missive on March 4, 2012.

Fauci, NIAID’s director at the time, was commenting on an op-ed that criticized risky research that created a more transmissible H5N1 influenza virus. The research, led by European scientist Ron Fouchier, was funded by the NIAID.

The op-ed said the virus appeared to spread easily and would be lethal to humans if it escaped confinement or was stolen by terrorists. It highlighted the government’s funding of the research.

It also noted that the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity had recommended that papers prepared by researchers such as Fouchier omit key details that might help terrorists make their own versions of risky viruses.

Fauci told Lane that “people are getting to” Phil Boffey, the writer of the op-ed, “and he is swallowing it.” He said that the board’s decision was wrong. And he wrote that if the board maintained its stance, “the field of research on influenza transmissibility and host adaptability has a very serious problem.”

Fauci and Lane did not respond to requests for comment by publication time.

Boffey could not be reached.

Fouchier had told Science magazine that his team created “probably one of the most dangerous studies you can make.”

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s search for an intern has drawn criticism because she wants someone who can keep their mouth shut.

The intern, who will not be paid, will work for Clinton’s office in New York City, the New York Post reported Sunday.

The Daybook posting said, “The Office of Hillary Rodham Clinton is seeking Fall Interns from September 9, 2026 — November 13, 2026.”

“Interns will provide support to our staff, assisting on a wide range of projects,” it continued. Most notably, the posting said the office is looking for someone who has a “high level of professionalism and discretion.”

Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton (D), had an affair with a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky, who was 22 years old, during his time in office. However, his wife has since argued he did not abuse his power in the situation, Breitbart News reported in 2018.

CNN legal so-called analyst Norm Eisen used an appearance on the network to slam President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in ballots while casting doubt on the U.S. Postal Service’s capacity to enforce it.

“No mail-in voting is currently being affected by this rule; it’s grossly unconstitutional, and we and others have gone to court to stop it—we will stop it—and voters should know that this idea that the Postal Service is going to screen every mail-in voter and mail-in ballot in the country is not going to happen,” Eisen said, according to a clips of the interview.

In the same discussion, Eisen quipped that “they can’t even deliver my utility bill on time” and argued that USPS therefore cannot “turn into a kind of super registrar for every voter in the land,” using his own mail delays to contradict his defense of mail in ballot voting to begin with.

His comments came after the Supreme Court, in a 6–3 unsigned order, allowed Trump to move forward with key portions of the March executive order that directs the Postal Service and the Department of Homeland Security to build voter-eligibility lists and limit mail-ballot delivery, while explicitly declining to decide the order’s legality leaving it open for further litigation amongst the states across the country.

According to police, a shipment worth approximately $45,000 was picked up around 10 a.m. for delivery to Tucson, Arizona.

In a year stuffed with war talk, a collapsing dollar, and a political class that acts like all of the damage from the Biden regime has been fixed, a lot of Americans have decided the great villain of 2026 is a traffic camera. That sounds small until you realize what the camera actually is.

It is not a cop on a corner who happens to notice a stolen Buick. It is a private contractor building a searchable map of every car that rolls past a pole. Connor O’Keeffe put it cleanly. The government would never get away with dropping a GPS tracker in every glove box. So it rented the next best thing and called it public safety.

Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers photograph the plate, the make, the model, the dents, even the bumper sticker. That record goes into a national database other agencies can query. The company now runs about 120,000 cameras across 49 states. Sen. Josh Hawley says those boxes produce more than 20 billion vehicle scans a month. If you drive, you are in there. Your church run. Your doctor’s office. The house you visit after dark.

The sales pitch is always the same. Stolen cars. Missing kids. Bad guys. Nobody wants a kidnapper to get a head start. The problem is that the machine does not stay pointed at kidnappers. It stays pointed at everybody, and then a bored officer with a password decides what “everybody” means.

The Trump administration is widening its crackdown on the H-1B system, targeting two major benefits tied to the program: work permits for certain visa holders’ spouses and the grace period that allows laid-off foreign workers to remain in the country while seeking another job.

The Department of Homeland Security has revived a plan to eliminate employment authorization for certain spouses of H-1B workers who are in the United States on H-4 dependent visas.

At the same time, a separate DHS proposal to eliminate the current 60-day grace period for H-1B workers after they lose their jobs has cleared review at the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, putting that rule on track for public release.

Together with the administration’s newly proposed $103,265 fee for cap-subject H-1B petitions, the moves represent a broader effort to reshape a visa program that critics have long accused corporations of using to import cheaper labor while American workers compete for the same jobs.

Under a rule adopted during the Obama administration in 2015, certain spouses of H-1B workers became eligible to apply for employment authorization while their families waited through the employment-based green card process.

Not every H-4 spouse qualifies. The benefit generally applies when the H-1B worker is the beneficiary of an approved Form I-140 immigrant petition or has received certain extensions beyond the ordinary six-year H-1B limit.

For those who do qualify, however, the Employment Authorization Document allows the spouse to work independently in the United States. Trump’s DHS is now considering taking that authorization away.

The proposal appears on the department’s regulatory agenda under the title, “Removing H-4 Dependent Spouses From the Classes of Noncitizens Eligible for Employment Authorization.”

That does not mean current H-4 work permits have been canceled. The proposal remains a long-term regulatory action, and DHS has not provided a target date for its release. Before any change could take effect, the administration would have to go through the formal rulemaking process.

The LGBTQ+ Bar Association, the largest membership group for LGBTQ+ legal professionals, claimed in a parental rights strategy memo that the Supreme Court has “muddied the doctrinal waters” on the issue. While critics say the opposite is true, the claim hints at the movement’s likely legal strategy.

The document seems meant to accompany a panel at the Lavender Law conference in Chicago July 13-15, titled “Parental Rights and Transgender Children at a Crossroads.” The memo describes this as a “crucial moment” for LGBTQ+ lawyers to “align on the best strategies for protecting transgender children and avoiding lasting harm in the parental-rights context.”

Americans are increasingly turning against the rapid expansion of massive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers as concerns over soaring electricity demand, water consumption, and pressure on local infrastructure push lawmakers across the country to impose new restrictions.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) announced in August that his administration had effectively halted as many as 1,800 proposed AI data center projects while establishing new requirements designed to prevent the facilities from draining resources from surrounding communities.

New York has also moved to block certain large data center projects, while Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) has imposed new requirements on developers seeking state support.

The backlash reflects a dramatic shift in public sentiment as the artificial intelligence boom drives enormous new demand for electricity and computing infrastructure.

Annapolis Democrats spent months insisting there was nothing to see here. On Tuesday, a Maryland judge told them otherwise — in writing, and in language sharper than anyone expected.

The bottom line: a circuit court judge just ruled that House Bill 2100, the constitutional amendment Governor Wes Moore and legislative Democrats rammed through a two-day special session to pave the way for wiping out Maryland’s last Republican congressional seat, was placed on the November ballot unlawfully.

This is the story of how we got here.

The Setup: A Map They Already Lost Once

In 2021, Maryland Democrats were hell-bent on maximizing their control of the state at every level. Already the most gerrymandered state in the union, they drew an 8-0, all-Democrat congressional map which now-Vice Chair of the Maryland Freedom Caucus, Delegate Kathy Szeliga, took to court. Judge Lynne Battaglia struck it down in a 95-page opinion grounded in the Maryland Constitution and Declaration of Rights. The current 7-1 congressional delegation is the product of both parties compromising in 2022.

In pursuit of a potential 2028 presidential run, Governor Wes Moore began pressuring legislative leaders to eliminate the state’s last Republican seat — held by Congressman Andy Harris (MD-1), who also chairs the House Freedom Caucus. The House of Delegates passed a bill to do exactly that in February, HB 488, but it stalled and died in the Senate. Senate President Bill Ferguson worried it would invite a court to reaffirm Judge Battaglia’s 2022 ruling and hand Republicans an even more favorable map. He held his ground even after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries showed up in Annapolis to lean on him personally.

Then the political ground shifted. When the U.S. Supreme Court narrowed how far the Voting Rights Act can justify race-based congressional districting, several states began eyeing mid-cycle redistricting — Maryland among them. Not to be outdone by Gavin Newsom, Governor Moore called a special session for August to finish what he couldn’t in February: eliminate Congressman Harris through a constitutional amendment designed to make sure Judge Battaglia’s ruling could never stand in the way again.

The Special Session: Two Days, One Outcome Predetermined

A local man is carved up on a Belfast pavement, unrest follows, and the state broadcaster act as if the real emergency is that imported staff might feel “particularly vulnerable.”

Investigative journalist Steven Edginton published the leak on Friday. Jack Whyte, the BBC’s Chief Technology Officer, wrote to staff after the backlash that followed the attack on Stephen Ogilvie. Whyte said he wanted to “express our solidarity with colleagues who may feel particularly vulnerable or fearful at this time, including those who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries.”

He condemned “hatred, intimidation, and violence in all its forms” and added that the BBC is “committed to fostering an environment where every colleague feels supported, included, and able to bring their whole self to work.”

Whyte’s wording is a tell. “Including those who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries” is the only group specified. Native staff who watched a man carved up on a Belfast street are left to infer that their fear does not count as vulnerability. Their anxiety is “hatred” adjacent, while the imported colleague’s anxiety is a welfare priority.

A source inside the corporation put the omission in plainer English: “The BBC offered solidarity to foreign staff but not to native Brits who might be worried about illegal migrants beheading them.”
