Excerpt:

The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into former New York governor – and current NYC Mayoral front-runner – Andrew Cuomo over his testimony on nursing home deaths during the Covid pandemic.

Last month House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a resubmitted criminal referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding the Department of Justice pursue charges against disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for lying under oath during pandemic-era investigations.

The letter, addressed directly to AG Pam Bondi, accused Cuomo of violating 18 U.S.C. §1001, a federal statute prohibiting false statements to Congress:

On October 30, 2024, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (Select Subcommittee) referred former Governor of the State of New York, Andrew M. Cuomo, for making criminally false statements in violation 18 U.S.C. §1001.1

To our knowledge, the Biden Administration ignored this referral despite clear facts and evidence. Accordingly, we request you review this referral and take appropriate action. For your reference, the referral is attached to this letter.

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.

Trump Humiliates NBC News Reporter During White House Exchange, He Unwisely Came Back for More – RedState– redstate.com

NBC Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander just had what one can only define as a terrible day in the Oval Office.

Alexander, who found himself asking questions of President Trump during a meeting with South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa, probably wished he hadn’t rolled out of bed for work this morning.

The only one who might have had a tougher day was Ramaphosa himself.

With South Africa’s leader in the White House, the topic of conversation was bound to pivot at some point to the administration’s admission of a group of 59 South African white people as refugees. The media has been obsessed with the small contingent because of their skin color, pouncing on that fact as if it’s some sort of evidence that Trump’s immigration policies are racist.

Alexander attempted to advance that narrative.

“Can you explain to Americans why it’s appropriate to welcome white Afrikaners here when other refugees like Afghans, Venezuelans, Haitians have all had their protected status revoked?” he inquired.

Top Doctors Express Skepticism Over Timing of Biden’s Aggressive Cancer Diagnosis: ‘Inconceivable’ – RedState– redstate.com

A group of top medical experts is casting doubt on the timing of recent somber news involving Joe Biden’s diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer. The cancer, it was reported on Sunday, has metastasized to his bones.

Without diminishing the seriousness of the situation or deflecting from the well-wishes sent to the former President and his family, a group of doctors spoke about the news on social media. And they don’t seem to be buying into the narrative that this is recent news within Biden’s inner circle.

Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economics at Yale, finds it “inconceivable” that this aggressive cancer was not being followed before Biden left office.

Forman indicated that the cancer being at this advanced stage would have been monitored “for some time before this diagnosis.”

Harvard president takes 25% pay cut amidst funding loss due to Trump battle– www.thecollegefix.com

Decision follows another $450 million federal funding curb

Harvard University’s president will have a smaller paycheck soon, due to his decision to take a 25 percent pay cut.

President Alan Garber, who likely makes at least $1 million, has refused to comply with the Trump administration’s demands concerning DEI and antisemitism. Instead, the university will continue to lose hundreds of millions in federal funding.

President Garber (pictured) made the announcement recently as a show of solidarity with faculty and staff who are facing pay freezes. “More than 80 faculty members — from several schools and academic units — have pledged to donate 10 percent of their salaries for up to a year to support the University if it continues to resist the Trump administration,” The Harvard Crimson reported.

The Ivy League university is also freezing spending elsewhere, according to The Harvard Crimson.

The student newspaper reported:

In March, Harvard hit pause on faculty and staff hiring, directing schools to curb discretionary spending, reassess capital projects, and halt new multi-year commitments. In April, Harvard told employees it would not award merit pay raises to faculty and non-union staff in fiscal year 2026. And earlier this week, Faculty of Arts and Sciences professors were instructed to develop contingency plans for how their departments would handle budget shortfalls — as administrators acknowledge they expect long-term financial fallout.

This is not the first time Garber has reduced his pay in the wake of challenges affecting Harvard. In 2020, as provost, he took a similar 25 percent cut in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Then-President Lawrence S. Bacow and several deans also accepted temporary reductions as Harvard confronted a projected $750 million revenue shortfall.

Trump‘s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Delivers Decades-Long Conservative Wish List– gellerreport.com

Excerpt:

 

… President Trump warned congressional Republicans on Tuesday not to “f**k around” with Medicaid, a stark pushback to conservative lawmakers demanding steeper cuts to the program in “one big, beautiful bill.” … Trump is already floating political retribution for Republican holdouts who don’t get in line. He also tore into Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has been a firm “no” on the bill throughout the process, blasting him publicly and privately as a “grandstander” and saying he should be “voted out of office.” Trump also warned the GOP’s blue state holdouts not to push too hard on the SALT deduction cap (Axios).

… The “One Big Beautiful Bill” that President Donald Trump personally lobbied Congress to pass Tuesday delivers on decades of conservative wishes, but first it must survive bickering over two very different issues: deductions for high-tax state voters and the size of spending cuts in an era of record debt.

Speaker Mike Johnson was working feverishly Tuesday night to eliminate one of the roadblocks — demands to increase the State and Local Taxes (SALT) Deduction cap — while fiscal hawks were being pressed to trust that Trump and his DOGE-infused, regulation-busting team can deliver more than the $1.6 trillion in spending cuts the current legislation enacts over the next decade.

Don’t count on the budget reconciliation bill passing the House today. That appeared to be the message from leading House Freedom Caucus members, who said they were working on a deal with the White House and House GOP leadership.

“We are greatly encouraged by the progress that’s been made in the last 24 hours,” said House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md.

The entire Republican conference met with President Donald Trump at the Capitol on Tuesday, where he encouraged them to wrap up negotiations on his “big, beautiful bill,” which would fulfill campaign promises such as extending his first-term 2017 tax cuts and funding border security.

The White House is scheduled to meet with fiscal hawks and House Republican leadership on Wednesday as progress for the “one big, beautiful” reconciliation bill is stalling.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) are heading to the White House for a 3 p.m. meeting with President Donald Trump, which will include members of the Freedom Caucus, multiple sources confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

This is the second major step Trump has taken to try to unify the Republican conference after his speech to the House GOP on Capitol Hill Tuesday failed to sway several key holdouts from both the Freedom Caucus and SALT Caucus.

The meeting at the White House comes after talks between the fiscal hawks and leadership appeared to fall apart overnight. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who has been leading the Freedom Caucus opposition to the bill, said early Wednesday that conversations were “not good.”

Excerpt:

After President Donald Trump’s Tuesday meeting with the House GOP Conference, moderate Republicans are hoping that his stern command to unify will bring holdouts into line to vote for the budget reconciliation bill.

“Listen, the president spoke in a very strong way about the need to quit screwing around and pass this bill. And that did irritate some members who were there,” Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., told The Daily Signal after a press conference in which he promoted the bill.

If passed, the bill would fulfill a number of Trump’s campaign promises, such as funding border security and extending his first-term 2017 tax cuts.

However, major disagreements remain. House Republican fiscal hawks are demanding that the bill implement work requirements in Medicaid, while blue state Republicans are asking for a higher cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions against federal taxes, which lessen the effects of blue states’ high tax rates.

President Donald Trump fired three Democrats serving on the Consumer Product Safety Commission after the Department of Government Efficiency visited the agency on Thursday.

The firings leave the independent agency with two Republicans, acting CPSC Chairman Peter Feldman and Douglas Dziak, on the five-person board. It is unclear if their firings were related to the wide DOGE government spending cuts.

The agency’s former chairman, Alex Hoehn-Saric, who was also fired, said Friday that “Trump is attempting to illegally remove me from the CPSC” along with his colleagues Mary Boyle and Richard L. Trumka Jr., the latter of whom ignited controversy in 2023 over weighing a ban on gas stoves.

Excerpt:

The Trump administration has fully implemented the defunding of the UNFPA that it announced back in March and announced today that no new funding will the directed to it. And the pro-abortion agency is unhappy.

As LifeNews reported then, Trump has ordered the defunding of the UNFPA, a United Nations population control agency which promotes abortions worldwide.

This is a continuation of his pro-life policy from his previous administration. In 2017, Trump signed an executive order defunding the UN population group because it pushes abortions on other countries and has worked with China for decades to implement its forced abortion population control policies.

Trump officials previously informed the UN Population Fund that nearly all of its grants would be discontinued. That defunding has taken place – with some $335 million in taxpayer funds yanked from the pro-abortion UN agency. Now, Trump officials have informed the UN group that new funding will not take place in future years.

Last week, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, R, signed the “Riley Gaines Act” into law, prohibiting biological males from participating in female sports at public schools and colleges across the state.

The legislation also mandates that students use restrooms, locker rooms, and sleeping quarters that correspond with the sex on their birth certificates.​

The act, officially known as Senate Bill 1, is named after former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, an outspoken advocate for protecting women’s sports. Gaines gained national attention after competing against transgender swimmer William “Lia” Thomas and has since campaigned for similar legislation in other states.​

Kemp emphasized the importance of the new law in protecting the integrity of women’s sports.

“As the parents of three daughters, Marty and I know just how important it is to keep our children safe and to give them the best possible start in life,” Kemp said.

She added, “We want to thank him for coming, we respect all opinions. Everybody knows those allegations are baseless. They’re discredited.”

Excerpt:

The University of Pennsylvania is under federal investigation for filing “inaccurate” disclosures of its foreign funding for years, the Department of Education announced in a Thursday letter.

The department’s Office of the General Counsel accused the Ivy League school of submitting “incomplete, inaccurate, and untimely disclosures” to the department in violation of “its foreign source funding statutory disclosure obligations.” As a recipient of federal funding, the University of Pennsylvania is required by the Higher Education Act of 1965 to disclose “qualifying foreign source gifts and contracts” worth $250,000 or more.

The investigation comes two weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order ramping up his administration’s scrutiny of foreign influence in U.S. universities. The order mandates that universities provide detailed information about the sources and purposes of such foreign funding. Failure to do so could result in the loss of federal funding.

A New Jersey lawmaker ripped apart “decarbonization” legislation that will increase utility bills in order to stop the fictional “climate crisis.”

“Green” energy is toxic, inefficient, expensive, unprofitable, and prone to failure. And since the “climate crisis” exists only in the minds of hysterical leftists, there is no reason at all for Democrat-run New Jersey to keep moving toward dependence on green energy. Yet they do, which will certainly lead to higher utility costs for New Jersey citizens.

An appellate court handed the Trump administration a small victory Thursday evening by temporarily blocking a lower court’s order that required the government to take steps to return a Venezuelan national it deported to El Salvador.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit gave no explanation for its decision but granted the administration the stay until Thursday. Justice Department attorneys argued to the appellate court that the government legally deported Daniel Lozano Camargo to a terrorist prison in El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

Trump invoked the powerful wartime law in March as a means to bypass routine immigration proceedings and quickly deport alleged members of Tren de Aragua.

It’s a sad day in America when the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ignores the basic framework of the Constitution he’s supposed to interpret.

That’s what happened on Wednesday, when Chief Justice John Roberts took it upon himself to subtly thumb his nose at President Trump and conservatives during a rare sit-down interview in his hometown of Buffalo, New York. In addition to rebuking calls to impeach activist lower court judges for overstepping the confines of the Constitution, the chief justice had this to say about the subject of “judicial independence”:

In our Constitution … the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president. That innovation doesn’t work if … the judiciary’s not independent. Its job is to, obviously, decide cases, but in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or of the executive. And that does require a degree of independence.

The decades-long dispute between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region has resulted in numerous bloody skirmishes and three full-fledged wars — in 1965, 1971, and 1999. In the wake of a horrific terrorist attack in the southern part of Indian-administered Kashmir last month, fighting has resumed and threatens now to embroil the two nuclear powers in another major war.

When pressed on Thursday to comment about the Trump administration’s concern “about the potential for nuclear war between India and Pakistan,” Vice President JD Vance told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that while concerned and keen on de-escalation, the U.S. is “not going to get involved in the middle of war that’s fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it.”

“Look, we’re concerned about any time nuclear powers collide and have a major conflict,” said Vance. “What we’ve said, what Secretary Rubio has said, and certainly [what] the president has said is we want this thing to de-escalate as quickly as possible.”

Excerpt:

A federal judge in Vermont on Friday ordered the Trump administration to release Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk on bail after she was accused of aiding the terrorist group Hamas.

Oturk’s arrest occurred in late March when immigration agents approached her on the street while she was walking with friends outside her home in Somerville, MA. The agents placed her in handcuffs and drove her to Vermont. Afterward, she was transported to a Louisiana prison.

From The New York Times:

In seeking her release, her lawyers have accused the government of detaining her in unconstitutional retaliation for protected speech. The main evidence against her appears to be an essay critical of Israel that she helped to write in a Tufts student newspaper last year.

Video footage of Ms. Ozturk’s detention went viral, leading to public outrage of her treatment by critics who say the government is abusing the immigration system to deport international students.

Ms. Ozturk has spent six weeks in detention in Louisiana and has endured unsanitary conditions that have triggered increasingly severe asthma attacks, her lawyers said in court documents.

Trump slams lid on gain-of-function research– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump’s executive order strengthening restrictions on gain-of-function research is a sensible step in his administration’s crusade for sanity. Signed Monday evening, the order seeks to clamp down on the risky research that modifies pathogens or toxins to enhance their ability to cause disease or spread more easily, which most authorities believe caused the COVID-19 pandemic.

A White House fact sheet claims the new order “empowers American research agencies to identify and end federal funding of other biological research that could pose a threat to American public health, public safety, or national security.”

This is a broader clampdown on gain-of-function research than was enacted by former President Barack Obama. Late in his second term, Obama announced a funding pause for some gain-of-function experiments on certain pathogens, including influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses. But enforcement was limited, and the federal government continued to fund other gain-of-function research, including experiments at the Wuhan Institute for Virology with grants from Anthony Fauci and the National Institutes of Health.

German Chancellor Freidrich Merz has told President Trump and the United States to “stay out” of his country’s politics.

The country’s intelligence agency confirmed last week that it had classified the conservative Alternative for Germany party as a “proven right-wing extremist organization” because of their opposition to mass immigration and progressive ideology.

In a post on the X platform, Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed German authorities for their continued crackdown against their political opposition.

He wrote:

Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That’s not democracy—it’s tyranny in disguise.

What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes.

Germany should reverse course.

People protesting a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at the University of Washington in Seattle on Tuesday allegedly threw “literal human feces” at students checking in to hear a speech advocating against biological men competing in women’s sports.

The event, titled “The Fight is Far From Over,” took place Tuesday evening in the university’s Ethnic Cultural Theater and was led by Riley Gaines and Olivia Krolczyk. It was a public event open to anyone with a valid photo ID.

Gaines initially wrote on X that protesters at UW were chanting “God is trans” before updating her post with, “the protestors(sic) just threw *feces* at the @TPUSA students at check in. Literal human feces.”

Local media outlets reported that approximately 150 people were near the building protesting the speech. Many could be seen in social media videos waving transgender flags and holding signs – some vulgar – expressing opposition to Gaines and Krolczyk
