A California federal judge has awarded Hunter Biden $1.7 million in punitive damages in his defamation lawsuit against former Overstock.com CEO and Trump supporter Patrick Byrne.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson had said at a hearing in January that Byrne would face punitive damages after “failing to defend himself” against the claims by the controversial son of former President Joe Biden, Courthouse News Service reported.

The defamation stems from a claim by Byrne that the younger Biden had sought an $800 million bribe from Iran sometime in 2021. Biden sued the former CEO for publicly making that allegation.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) almost looks like a centrist now. That would have been a strange thing to say eight years ago, when she knocked off Rep. Joe Crowley, then the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, and became the face of a new left flank that made party leaders nervous. She and the rest of the “Squad” were supposed to be the ceiling, the outer edge of what the activist base would tolerate, and Democratic leadership spent the next several years assuring anyone who would listen that the fever would break on its own, but it didn’t. If anything, the crop of candidates the party is nominating in 2026 makes Ocasio-Cortez, who still holds the same views that once alarmed her colleagues, look like someone who long ago made her peace with the establishment.

Confirming what many have suspected all along, a former trauma surgeon says that those who did not receive the COVID-19 jab were treated differently during the pandemic, receiving a far lower standard of care than vaccinated individuals did.

In a podcast discussion with host Alix Mayer, Dr. James Miller made one startling statement after another, alleging that the unvaccinated were treated as “dirty plague rat[s]”, and that hospitals were actually nothing more than “killing fields.”

“The vaccinated and unvaccinated were treated differently,” said Miller in a clip of the video interview provided by Sense Receptor. “They started just denying basic health services to unvaccinated people, which spurred not giving diabetes medicine.”

Due to a key vote by U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the one-year ban on federal funding for Planned Parenthood expired on July 4, meaning the abortion giant can resume consuming hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars through Medicaid reimbursements for non-abortion-related services. Without this funding, the entity has struggled to keep its nationwide network of abortion clinics operational.

While Murkowski continues to identify as a Republican, she has long supported federal funding for Planned Parenthood and regularly joins Democrats in efforts to ensure the abortion business benefits from taxpayer dollars.

Microsoft has announced significant workforce reductions affecting its Xbox division and the broader company, the bulk of whom will be replaced by foreign workers. The Xbox unit plans to eliminate approximately 3,200 positions through the end of fiscal year 2027, including about 1,600 role eliminations effective immediately.

These changes form part of a larger restructuring that includes an additional 4,800 positions eliminated company-wide.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma outlined the moves in a memo to employees. “We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management,” she said.

Sharma noted that the business “today is not healthy” and that Xbox is “operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses.” She described the effort as a “reset” to achieve sustainable growth and a return to growth by 2027.

The federal agents may not have known his name when they set out to the predominantly Latino East End neighborhood to apprehend immigrants that day, but they were extremely aware of who Salgado was as they stripped him of any form of identification and his belongings after shooting him. That move kept his family from claiming his body, according to news reports.

While Congress enjoys an undeserved Fourth of July break, critical election security legislation backed by the vast majority of Americans remains on life support.

Noodle-spined Republicans checked out without moving on the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) America Act and did nothing to stop hundreds of millions of dollars of Medicaid money from flowing back to the nation’s largest peddler of abortions.

A lack of action on those two fronts alone could be enough to depress conservative turnout in November’s elections, and could prove costly to the GOP’s hopes of holding power in Congress.
