The House Oversight Committee is seeking answers from top Biden administration officials—including the 46th president’s doctor—about Joe Biden’s apparent mental decline while in office and his staff’s use of an “autopen” to put his signature on official documents.

The investigation on Capitol Hill deepens days after leaked audio of the then-president’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur and Biden’s announcement of an advanced prostate cancer diagnosis.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter Wednesday to five former Biden administration officials, calling them to appear before the committee for transcribed interviews.

“The cover-up of President Biden’s obvious mental decline is a historic scandal,” Comer said in a statement.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled off what many believed impossible, passing President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” omnibus bill in dramatic fashion early Thursday morning.

A 215-214 vote, largely on party lines, sends the signature tax cut legislation to the U.S. Senate where it will almost certainly go through extensive edits before being passed back down to the House for final passage.

Despite the hurdles ahead, Thursday’s passage is the latest sign that Johnson has proven to be the most adept Republican speaker in years, horse-trading with conservatives and blue-state Republicans over Medicaid cuts and SALT deductions with little room to spare. Still, he called in President Trump at the eleventh hour to promise swift retribution against anyone who tried to tank the bill.

“Don’t f**k with Medicaid,” Trump allegedly told the GOP caucus in a Wednesday meeting, Politico reported. The threat was largely directed at fiscal hardliners who told Johnson they planned to oppose the bill unless cuts were upped beyond the hundreds of billions of dollars already on the table.

A private jet crashed into a neighborhood of U.S. Navy-owned housing in San Diego during foggy weather early Thursday, igniting cars and homes and killing two people while injuring multiple others, authorities said.

The plane could hold eight to 10 people but it’s not yet known how many were on board, Assistant San Diego Fire Chief Dan Eddy said at a news conference. Authorities couldn’t say definitively if both of the dead were on the plane.

The aircraft crashed just before 4 a.m. into the U.S. military’s largest housing neighborhood. Eddy said at least one home was destroyed and 10 others suffered damage along with half a dozen vehicles that ignited. The destroyed home had a partially collapsed roof.

The Trump administration has said it is halting Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students.

On Thursday, the New York Times reported that the Trump administration notified Harvard about its decision following ongoing correspondence regarding the “legality of a sprawling records request”, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The records request comes as part of an investigation by the homeland security department in which federal officials are threatening the university’s international student admissions.

The homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, posted a copy of the letter on X, formerly known as Twitter. In it Noem said: “I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification is revoked.”

DOJ Launches Inquiry of Andrew Cuomo for Alleged COVID Lies– www.dailysignal.com

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice is launching a criminal investigation into former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, accused of lying about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington opened the inquiry into Cuomo close to a month ago after senior officials in the DOJ called for the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams to be dismissed, The New York Times reported.

The inquiry followed a call from Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, to prosecute Cuomo over statements he made to the committee investigating his management of the pandemic when the virus was running rampant in nursing homes.

In accordance with a Cuomo directive, more than 9,000 recovering COVID-19 patients were released from hospitals into nursing homes in New York state.

Will Iran kill nuclear negotiations with terrorist attacks in the West?– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump, who seeks to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, wants to secure a new nuclear agreement with that country. Trump’s motive is honorable. Difficult diplomacy is preferable to military strikes on Iran. But numerous complications stand in the president’s way, and perhaps none of these complications is more significant than the growing threat of Iranian terrorist attacks.

Yes, formalizing a viable Iran nuclear agreement represents a big challenge in and of itself. For one, Iran has engaged in more than two decades of deceptive conduct via its covert research of nuclear warheads. Any deal would thus need to ensure prompt inspection access to any sites suspected of being used to conduct illicit nuclear weapons research. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action had woefully inadequate safeguards in this regard.

Another difficulty arises in the Trump administration’s new insistence that Iran suspend all nuclear enrichment, even at very low purity levels, in return for any deal. This demand conflicts with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s belief that his Islamic Republic should be allowed to engage in some enrichment as a matter of honor. Khamenei might well regard the risks of U.S. military action as less concerning than the loss of prestige and regime confidence that would go with suspending all enrichment activities. Allowing Iran to maintain its nuclear facilities, albeit in a nonoperational status, might allow the regime to save face. But probably not.

Biden Admin ‘Delayed’ Warnings About Covid Shot Risks– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The Biden administration “downplayed” and “delay[ed]” warnings about risks associated with receiving the mRNA Covid vaccines, according to a new congressional report released Wednesday.

Published by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the analysis’ findings are based on records forfeited by the Trump Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in compliance with requests issued by the subcommittee’s chair, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. As noted in the document, the interim report is “a culmination of a multi-year fight to overcome the obstruction of the Biden administration to get unredacted records and data about the COVID-19 pandemic and the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.”

According to the subcommittee, the more than 2,473 pages of records disclosed by the Trump administration show how Biden administration officials sought to “downplay and delay warning the public about the risks of myocarditis associated with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.”

A timeline laid out in the report documents how, throughout the early months of 2021, U.S. health officials began receiving data and reports about vaccinated individuals experiencing myocarditis and other cardiac-related adverse events after receiving the Covid shots. These reports came from domestic entities, as well as the Israeli Ministry of Health, which informed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “in late February 2021 of large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine.”

SHOCKING: Far-Left Gov. Matt Meyer Signs Bill Into Law Legalizing State-Sponsored Euthanasia– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, a Democrat, signed House Bill 140 into law on Tuesday.

The new law, deceptively named “The Ron Silverio/Heather Block End of Life Options Law,” opens the floodgates for state-sanctioned euthanasia by allowing terminally ill adults to request and self-administer life-ending medication — with full government and medical backing.

This radical measure was championed by far-left Democrats Rep. Paul Baumbach, Rep. David Bentz, Rep. Eric Morrison, and Sen. Bryan Townsend.

Under the new law, once a mentally competent individual is diagnosed with a terminal illness and deemed to have six months or less to live, doctors and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) are empowered to prescribe death-inducing drugs.

According to Delaware Public, the end-of-life medication may only be prescribed to a terminally ill patient after they make two verbal requests and one written request themselves — a legal guardian or healthcare surrogate is not permitted to make the request on their behalf.

A group of transgender activists raised a transgender pride flag Tuesday on the rock formation El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California on Tuesday, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller.

The pride flag, at 55 feet by 35 feet, was the largest flag to be flown over the iconic rock formation, the project, called “Trans is Natural,” said. The action was done as an “act of solidarity” by a group of “transgender, queer, and ally climbers.”

A video published by a self-identified “environmentalist & drag artist” who goes by the name Pattie Gonia shows a group of rock climbers bringing the transgender pride flag up El Capitan and unfurling it over a crevice in the formation.

Vulnerable House Democrats Held Intimate Meetings With Biden in the White House. Most Had Nothing To Say About Biden’s Fitness To Serve—Even After His Disastrous Debate.– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

Several vulnerable House Democrats representing swing districts held intimate meetings with former president Joe Biden at the White House during the same timeframe his senior aides were hard at work concealing his rapidly deteriorating mental acuity from the public. Most of those Democrats had nothing to say about Biden’s fitness to serve—even after his disastrous debate performance.

That includes Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D., Texas), who participated in three meetings with Biden at the White House in 2023 and 2024, including an eight-person meeting with the former president on June 4, 2024, archived visitor logs show. Biden’s rapidly deteriorating mental acuity was evident to the public and became impossible for the Democratic Party to ignore following his disastrous debate performance in late June. But Gonzalez told a different story to the public following his intimate meetings with the president.

Gonzalez praised Biden’s mental acuity in a Feb. 2024 statement, saying the former president “still seems pretty sharp and focused on the task of the day.” And later, in July, Gonzalez attacked the first House Democrat to call on Biden to drop his reelection bid, saying it was “ironic” that the elderly Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D., Texas) had lost faith in Biden’s fitness to serve following his debate against Trump.

“We have a 77-year-old asking an 81-year-old not to run,” said Gonzalez, who represents a toss-up district in southern Texas. “I really believe folks are jumping the gun.”

Federal judge blocks Trump admin from removing criminal illegal immigrants to third party nation South Sudan | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

At least a dozen migrants were reportedly deported to South Sudan this week, including illegal immigrants from Myanmar, Vietnam, and Mexico.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to maintain custody of criminal illegal immigrants who were allegedly flown to South Sudan.

Judge Brian Murphy held an emergency hearing Tuesday and issued an order instructing the administration “to maintain custody and control of class members currently being removed to South Sudan or to any other third country, to ensure the practical feasibility of return if the Court finds that such removals were unlawful.”

At least a dozen migrants were reportedly deported to South Sudan this week, including illegal immigrants from Myanmar, Vietnam, and Mexico, despite a standing court order restricting removals to third countries. Attorneys representing the migrants told the court that immigration authorities have sent people from various countries to Africa, potentially violating a prior ruling that guarantees migrants a “meaningful opportunity” to argue that deportation to a country other than their homeland would endanger their safety.

U.S. Army Begins Eliminating Transgender Soldiers– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

The U.S. Army is moving toward its aim of separating transgender soldiers from the service with its new guidance that deems tranny soldiers as “undeployable” and therefore, useless to the service.

The Army is ramping up its efforts to dump soldiers with gender dysphoria because it has been determined that the condition is medically incompatible with military service. Pursuant to that, the Pentagon has released a series of memos directing the services to identify and remove them — whether voluntarily on not.

The new directives are in compliance with Commander In Chief Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order requiring the separation of tranny soldiers.

Per Gateway Pundit:

On February 26, 2025, the Department of Defense issued a memorandum titled “Additional Guidance on Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” formally disqualifying individuals with a current diagnosis, history, or symptoms of gender dysphoria from military service. The policy states that such conditions are incompatible with readiness, cohesion, lethality, and integrity, and affirms that all personnel must meet standards without special accommodations.

Under Executive Order 14168, the Department of Defense defines sex as an immutable biological classification, male or female, and requires all service members to serve in accordance with their sex. This designation now governs compliance with military standards, including physical fitness, grooming, uniforms, and access to bathrooms, showers, and berthing.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal Trade Commission to Announce Major Crackdown on Radical Gender Ideology for Kids– conservativeroof.com

WASHINGTON—The Federal Trade Commission is setting its sights on the industry pushing transgender medical procedures on minors, documents show a potential major step in the Trump administration;s efforts to crack down on radical gender ideology.

The FTC, an agency tasked with protecting American consumers, will hold a day-long workshop in July on transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers, according to an internal memo. That;s a likely indicator of the agency’s intentions: the FTC often holds such events before initiating legal action against an industry to gain information, gather evidence, and solicit the input of affected Americans.

“Under the Federal Trade Commission Act, the FTC is provided broad authority to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive trade acts and practices,” the memo reads. “There is now considerable reason to believe that the doctors and medical providers pushing [gender-affirming care] on minors are knowingly deceiving parents by exaggerating [gender-affirming care’s] ‘benefits’ and downplaying its harmful side effects.”

The Trump-appointed chairman of the FTC, Andrew Ferguson, reportedly pitched the president on using the agency to fight “against the trans agenda” before he was selected for the post, according to a document.

Ferguson believed the FTC could “investigate the doctors, therapists, hospitals, and others who deceptively pushed gender confusion, puberty blockers, hormone replacement, and sex-change surgeries on children and adults while failing to disclose strong evidence that such interventions are not helpful and carry enormous risks,” Punchbowl reported.

Justice Department backs New Hampshire church in religious liberty showdown – Standing for Freedom Center– www.standingforfreedom.com

Excerpt:

The U.S. Department of Justice has intervened in a legal dispute to support Grace New England Church, a small congregation led by Pastor Howard Kaloogian in Weare, New Hampshire.

The church has gathered for worship on Pastor Kaloogian’s five-acre property every Saturday for several years, using a renovated barn that the pastor has also offered to the community for a variety of secular events, including political rallies, backgammon tournaments, and weddings.

The government has never had an issue with any gathering held anywhere in town or on Pastor Kaloogian’s private property — until a Weare zoning enforcement official named Tony Sawyer saw a promotional flyer for Grace New England Church’s Saturday worship event. Sawyer then went, uninvited, to Pastor Kaloogian’s house and informed him that he would have to complete a site plan application and a conditional-use permit in order to continue holding religious assemblies on his private property.

The town has since delayed permit applications, subjected the pastor to repeated inspections of his home, and threatened to fine him.

California school must provide parental notice, opt-outs for reading program – Standing for Freedom Center– www.standingforfreedom.com

Excerpt:

As the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether parents have the right to opt their children out of reading books that promote gender ideology, a federal district court told a California school district that it cannot force children to read such books without parental notice and the opportunity to opt out.

The case centers on La Costa Heights Elementary School, located in the Encinitas School District near San Diego. The school runs a mandatory “buddy program” in which 5th grade students mentor kindergarteners.

Traditionally, this program involved art projects, gardening, and reading sessions — with books selected by the students themselves. Each week, parents received a newsletter detailing which book was being read in class.

The process changed when teachers selected My Shadow is Pink, a book promoting gender ideology. That week, no notice was sent to parents.

The book tells the story of a boy who enjoys wearing dresses and playing with toys typically associated with girls. Because he doesn’t “fit in,” his shadow is pink instead of blue. The central conflict revolves around his father’s initial discomfort and eventual embrace of his son’s pink shadow as not a phase but as a reflection of his “inner-most self.” By the end, the father joins his son and wears a dress.
