‘Intimidation’: French Warship Accused of Opening Fire to Threaten MP– www.breitbart.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A senior British politician accused the French government of attempted intimidation after a warship made a close pass and commenced a live firing exercise unannounced while he was observing migrant boat crossings in the English Channel.
Conservative Party home affairs spokesman Chris Philp was joined by government-adjacent news outlets on a hired boat in the English Channel on Wednesday morning to record interview pieces about the boat migrant crisis, but was interrupted by a small French warship engaging in what was said to be a live firing exercise. Philip called the shooting an apparent attempt at intimidation by the French, given the sea was otherwise clear of craft, the firing only took place as the French warship was at its closest point of approach to the British boat, and there was no warnings broadcast by radio beforehand.
British state media the BBC, which was interviewing Philp at sea as the firing commenced, caught in their footage the French patrol boat P676 Flamant passing approximately 300 meters to starboard while the Conservative politician delivered a piece to camera, and as the firing began. Coastal patrol boats of the Flamant type, which are mainly for coastal constabulary duties, carry no fixed naval weapons systems but can embark machine guns, and in this case the firing exercise was reported to be a French officer discharging a handgun at a towed target.
Philip told the BBC that the shooting in close proximity to his boat where there was plenty of sea room to exercise elsewhere “felt to me like an attempted intimidation to stop us covering migrant crossings”. He told the broadcaster:
It is extraordinary that the French Navy will fire live rounds to defend their waters against a visiting British politician but cannot bear to do anything about stopping illegal Channel crossings.
If France showed people smugglers half the seriousness they showed me, the boats would stop.
Instead, the French wave them through and pass them off to the British coastguard so it’s our problem.
PhD Student has her Research SUSPENDED because of her science-based belief that transitioning children is bad for them– www.louderwithcrowder.com News Source EXCERPT:

China Hits U.S., Europe With New Rare Earths Export Controls– legalinsurrection.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Early this year, the Trump administration unveiled a new minerals stockpile initiative called “Project Vault,” which prioritizes the development of mines and processing operations for more than 50 minerals deemed critical.
These developments are likely not making Chinese officials happy. Subsequently, it should not come as a surprise that China has now imposed new export controls on rare earths bound for this country.
China added MP Materials (MP.N) and USA Rare Earth (USAR.O) as well as eight other U.S. entities it said are linked to the U.S. military to its export control list in retaliation for Washington placing several Chinese companies under restrictions this month.
Aveox, a motor manufacturer for mission-critical applications, was also among those placed on the list, which halts Chinese dual-use exports to the companies.
Pentagon-backed MP Materials, which operates the only active rare earth mine in the U.S., and USA Rare Earth are both involved in the mine-to-magnet supply chain.
USA Rare Earth said it did not have any comment on the matter. MP Materials and Aveox were not available for comment outside of business hours.
At this point, U.S. AI policy toward China has become a motivational speaker with sanctions.
JUST IN: Two GOP Senators Block Confirmation Of Trump AG Nominee Todd Blanche– trendingpoliticsnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed its scheduled Thursday vote on the nomination of Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general after Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Cornyn (R-TX) indicated that they would vote against advancing the nomination out of committee.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced the decision late Wednesday night after a wild day of back-and-forth between the committee and the two dissenting senators.
“Chairman Grassley works to set President Trump’s nominees up for success in committee, not failure. Senators Cornyn and Tillis want written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding the Trump-IRS settlement. Tomorrow’s markup is postponed as work continues to secure sufficient support in committee to favorably report Attorney General-nominee Todd Blanche, who is highly qualified for the job,” a spokesman for Grassley’s office said in a statement.
Both Tillis and Cornyn have for weeks raised concerns related to a settlement agreement between the Department of Justice and Trump stemming from a lawsuit Trump filed against the Internal Revenue Service.

Bishop to offer pro-LGBT Masses, ‘listening’ sessions at Catholic parishes in Rhode Island– www.lifesitenews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A Catholic bishop will celebrate Mass at a series of pro-LGBT parish gatherings in Rhode Island while the Diocese of Providence refuses to clarify whether attendees will be called to repentance or offered sacramental confession, in accordance with the Church’s moral teaching.
The Diocese of Providence is holding four parish gatherings for “LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and friends” across Rhode Island, where Bishop Bruce Lewandowski will celebrate the Masses and participate in “small group sharing” sessions for “listening humbly to the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals.”
According to the program published on the diocesan website, the pro-LGBT gatherings are divided into three parts. The first section is a “small group sharing,” in which Lewandowski and other collaborators will listen “humbly” not only to the so-called LGBT Catholics, but also their “families and friends.” The second section is the Holy Mass, celebrated by Lewandowski, and third, “a community dinner provided for all attendees.”
The announcement opens with a well-known quotation from Pope Francis: “Todos, Todos, Todos (Everyone, Everyone, Everyone). That is the Church, the Mother of all. There is room for everyone.”
The planned events have drawn criticism after the Lepanto Institute reported diocesan officials had declined to answer direct questions about how the events square with Church teaching on anthropology and morality.
BREAKING: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson asks embattled Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The news follows massive criticism of the city’s response to the Bite of Seattle mass shooting.
Multiple sources told The Post Millennial Wednesday evening that Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has asked Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign, ending his tenure just days after the deadly Bite of Seattle mass shooting intensified scrutiny of his leadership, his frequent travel, and his absence from the city during the tragedy.
Barnes was spotted leaving a vigil for the victims of the shooting in Seattle Center by Post Millennial staff before the event began and went to City Hall, where he was asked to resign
Fox 13 reported that Barnes began texting people Wednesday night about his dismissal. Wilson’s office has not replied to requests for comment.
The move comes after a tumultuous week for Barnes, who faced mounting criticism over both the police response to the shooting and his own whereabouts when it unfolded.
Three people were killed, and several others were wounded Sunday evening after gang members opened fire during the closing hours of the Bite of Seattle festival. Barnes was in Dallas attending a National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives conference when the shooting occurred.
Catherine Herridge has been covering the efforts by progressives in the Trump administration who appear to have committed acts of treason by knowingly omitting and altering intelligence reports on China to protect China from Trump’s scrutiny.
Herridge claimed, “They had to save President Trump from his own instincts, from his own tendencies, and that there was very much a globalist view. And they had to preserve a globalist view. So, whether it was downplaying or suppressing intelligence about the threat from China, whether it was giving a pass and calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, there was this level of a bureaucracy, a kind of conspiracy that was making decisions about the kind of information that should be reaching policy makers and ultimately the commander-in-chief.”
Catherine Herridge Exposes The Forces Working Against Trump From Within Intel Agencies– trendingpoliticsnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Veteran investigative reporter Catherine Herridge reported during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight,” that a senior member of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s Director’s Initiatives Group, known as the DIG, described a pattern in which intelligence community officials acted on the belief that they needed to protect a globalist perspective by limiting certain information provided to policymakers, including President Donald Trump.
Herridge’s comments came amid discussion of recently declassified federal documents related to intelligence assessments from 2020 concerning China’s election influence operations. Those records, which were released in connection with a primetime address by President Trump the prior week, included internal communications indicating that some intelligence reports had been edited to remove references linking China’s activities to the 2020 U.S. election.
One November 20, 2020, email from a Strategic Intelligence Analyst in China and North Korea Strategic Assessments stated that officials had “deliberately massaged our one pending PDB (President’s Daily Brief) to avoid any direct links to the election.”
Herridge noted that she had reviewed the materials and found consistency with earlier whistleblower allegations that intelligence about China’s multi-domain influence efforts—aimed at impeding then-President Trump’s re-election and denigrating him as a candidate—had been suppressed or altered. In the same interview, Herridge connected these developments to broader observations shared by a source within Gabbard’s investigative team.
A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 that a Christian teacher in a public school cannot show students any material that contradicts the school’s supremacist LGBTQ plus ideology. This ideology compels forced acceptance of belief, including gender fluidity and transitioning children, which is an existential challenge to American Rule of Law, where no entity, government or private, can compel belief or speech.
The dissenting Judge, Lawrence VanDyke, wrote, “Could public school administrators establish a policy allowing office decoration with partisan political messages deemed sufficiently ‘compassionate’ but prohibit—as inherently ‘hostile’—any political speech that did not align with the Democratic Socialists of America platform?…
If your instinctual answer to each of these questions is ‘No!’… you might be an everyday American. But according to the majority today, you vastly overestimate the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech in our nation’s schools. In a decision that is irreconcilable with Supreme Court precedent, the majority announces an expansive new rule that all expression by public-school employees that might be observed by students is necessarily government speech, and not the personal speech of an American citizen—even when any reasonable observer would perceive the speech as the employee’s own personal expression.”
Ninth Circuit Upholds Ban on Christian Employee’s Books– www.standingforfreedom.com News Source
EXCERPT:
In completely ignoring the Supreme Court’s landmark free speech ruling in Kennedy v. Bremerton, the federal appellate court insists that staff who express beliefs that don’t align with a school’s established orthodoxy can be fired.
[UPDATE] On Tuesday, a panel of judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Oregon social worker Rod Theis has no free speech right to display books in his public school office that disagree with radical gender ideology — and that his firing was justified.
Theis, a devout Christian, used to work as an education specialist for InterMountain Education Service District, which required him to travel to different district schools to administer standardized tests to students. He was not a teacher and rarely had contact with most students but did have office space in two of the districts’ schools.
Many InterMountain district staff, including teachers, are allowed to decorate their classrooms and offices with various posters, flags, and books that promote Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ messages, pride flags, political candidates, views on political and social topics, and more. While still employed there, Theis followed their lead by displaying three children’s books — Johnny the Walrus, He is He, and She is She — in his offices. The three books teach the biblical view that sex is unchanging and that children should accept themselves as the sex they were born.
Though no student or parent ever complained about the books, one teacher in 2024 researched the books online, determined that they promote a “binary view of gender,” and filed a complaint, claiming that the three books are “transphobic” and therefore offensive. In response, InterMountain officials ordered Theis to remove the books. He filed a lawsuit and received an injunction from a district court that allowed him to display the books when students were not present. Soon thereafter, the same hostile teacher sent several students to Theis’s office, asking to see the books, to which he eventually agreed; the staff member caught Theis on video showing the books to the students, and the school district fired him.

In a rebuke to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a federal district court has struck down Illinois laws providing in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens—a setback to the sanctuary-state governor’s broader immigration agenda.
The ruling also marks the latest win in the Trump administration’s campaign to end taxpayer-funded tuition benefits for illegal aliens, a fight Legal Insurrection has covered from the beginning.
Illinois’ laws allowed illegal aliens to qualify for reduced in-state tuition rates and for other benefits, including scholarships. Meanwhile, American citizens from other states were not offered these same reduced tuition rates or benefits.
The growing human male infertility rate could be offset by growing human sperm in a laboratory’s mini-testes. A group of scientists published a report in the peer-reviewed journal “Cell Stem Cell” claiming to show they are close to growing human sperm in a lab. Researchers are hoping to convert stem cells to sperm cells by exposing them to chemical signals that will do the transforming.
From the report, “… the researchers combined the human or monkey germ cells with supportive cells from mouse fetuses. Together, these cells self-organized into a three-dimensional structure called a xenogeneic reconstituted testis… What grew in this setup closely resembled both the appearance and gene activity patterns of real human germ cells during the early stages of sperm development.”

Scientists have taken a major step toward producing artificial human sperm in a laboratory as collapsing male fertility rates fuel fears that natural reproduction could eventually become impossible.
The breakthrough involved creating early-stage reproductive cells from human and monkey stem cells before growing them inside laboratory-made structures designed to imitate natural testes.
The study, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, marks an early but significant advance toward the creation of fully developed lab-grown sperm.
Researchers Build Artificial ‘Mini-Testis’
Scientists began with induced pluripotent stem cells, known as iPSCs, taken from humans and rhesus macaques.
These blank-slate cells can be programmed to develop into almost any type of cell in the body.
Researchers exposed the cells to chemical signals that transformed them into primordial germ cell-like cells, which resemble the earliest embryonic cells that eventually develop into sperm.
Science website MedicalXpress explained how researchers then attempted to recreate the biological environment needed for those cells to mature.

Henneberg, who watched the abortion via ultrasound as she committed it, saw that the child was, in fact, a girl—but didn’t tell the woman.
Instead, she allowed the woman to believe she’d aborted a boy instead of the girl she wanted.
The woman was 14 weeks pregnant. When she was on the abortion table, she said, “I didn’t want to be here today, you know.”
Henneberg didn’t stop the abortion and discuss alternatives, or make sure the patient truly wanted the abortion. Instead, Ronnie, the abortion worker assisting Henneberg, said, “It’s okay. Nobody wants to end up here.”
Apparently, a woman saying she doesn’t really want an abortion is business as usual in Henneberg’s abortion facility—no need for more counseling.
The woman having the abortion continued to talk, mentioning the two little boys she had at home.
Henneberg writes:
From my secluded, light-filled perch between the woman’s legs, I glanced up at Ronnie. A silent sigh passed between us. We both knew this was the best way to get a woman through these 10 minutes: get her talking about the kids she already has.
“These 10 minutes” refers to the time it takes to commit a suction aspiration abortion.
These abortion providers seem to find it easy to discuss pregnant women’s other children as they kill the babies in their wombs.
Trump Dismisses Claims U.S. Is Short on Munitions in Iran Fight– www.breitbart.com News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump dismissed reports that the United States is running short on munitions for the conflict with Iran, telling the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that the U.S. military has “far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need” as his administration continued weighing diplomacy alongside the possibility of renewed military escalation.
Trump’s comments pushed back against reports from the New York Times and other outlets that concerns over declining stocks of Patriot and other air defense interceptors factored into internal deliberations over whether to expand the U.S. military campaign against Iran, even as the administration has emphasized that diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remain underway.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press and Fox News Sunday, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz reinforced Trump’s message, declaring that “the U.S. military, and I’ve verified this every which way, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be,” while insisting Trump is “keeping all options on the table” as he gives negotiations “some space” to continue.
“I have to tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail,” Waltz said on Meet the Press, while acknowledging that years of military support for Ukraine and operations against the Houthis had strained some inventories before President Donald Trump took office. Waltz argued the administration is rebuilding stockpiles while shifting toward newer, less expensive munitions and other emerging technologies.
Speaking on Fox News, Waltz said the administration’s military campaign had focused on degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping and regional stability, arguing that “the Iranian regime is isolated, economically devastated, militarily devastated,” and adding that Tehran was beginning to struggle financially, including paying government workers and members of its military.
The administration’s public defense of its military readiness follows reports that Trump postponed a planned expansion of the U.S. air campaign after meeting Friday with senior advisers, amid a broader debate over the costs and risks of escalating the conflict while diplomatic efforts continued.
According to the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, U.S. military planners had prepared an expanded campaign that could have lasted up to two weeks before Trump opted to allow diplomacy additional time. The newspaper reported that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine informed senior officials about declining inventories of Patriot and other air defense interceptors, while assessing that lower stockpiles would increase operational risk but would not prevent renewed military operations if Trump ordered them.

Taxpayer-Funded Medical School Develops Trans Doll Project For Kids As Young As 4– dailycaller.com News Source
EXCERPT:
“First-of-their-kind” transgender-identified paper dolls featuring removable genitalia are expected to be introduced in the fall in some classrooms for children as young as four years old, according to the University of Minnesota researchers who developed the project.
The dolls, which have gender-neutral names including “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery,” and “Parker,” include removable internal and external genitalia and more than 100 interchangeable clothing, hairstyle, and accessory pieces designed to facilitate conversations about gender and anatomy, according to the MyGender Dolls website.
The project originated at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health after more than six years of research. It has since been spun into a commercial venture, MyGender Dolls. The university’s research reportedly included sessions in which transgender-identifying and other children, along with their parents, were paid between $20 and $60 to play with the dolls and discuss gender and anatomy. In addition, photographs presented during a 2024 conference reportedly showed prototype dolls depicting various stages of gender transition, including removable anatomy and interchangeable clothing.
Four members of the Republican Party voted with Democrats to strike down an amendment in the defense authorization act. This amendment would permanently ban transgenders in the military. This would also have prevented biological males from using biological females’ private spaces. Right now, it is only Trump’s executive orders that sustain this standard in the U.S. military today.
Four House Republicans BLOCK attempt to codify Trump’s transgender military ban | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The amendment to the NDAA sought to codify President Trump’s January 2025 executive order on the matter.
Four House Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday to defeat an amendment that would have written President Donald Trump‘s executive order barring transgender individuals from serving in the US military into federal law.
The amendment, introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., failed in a narrow 212-217 vote during House consideration of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a must-pass defense policy bill that sets priorities and authorizes funding for the Department of Defense. The Republicans who voted against the amendment were Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Delegate James Moylan of Guam, and Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds of the Northern Mariana Islands. The measure was defeated after all Democrats opposed it.
Boebert’s amendment sought to codify President Trump’s January 2025 executive order, which states that “expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.” The order also directs the Department of Defense to prohibit biological males from using female-designated sleeping, changing, and bathing facilities, and vice versa.
While the executive order remains in effect, the vote comes as legal challenges to the administration’s transgender military policy continue to move through the courts. In June, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth‘s policy requiring the separation of some currently serving transgender service members was likely motivated by unconstitutional animus. However, the court noted that the case did not address restrictions on future enlistments, which involve different legal considerations.
President Donald Trump has announced an historic multi-billion-dollar deal with Saudi Arabia. The deal will result in U.S. firms being contracted to help the Saudis build a nuclear power plant.

EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump has signed off on a sweeping 30-year civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, a deal administration officials say will lock American companies into the kingdom’s energy future and keep Moscow and Beijing on the sidelines.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright is expected to formally sign the accord alongside Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, capping months of negotiations that began during Wright’s first foreign trip to the region in April 2025. The pact, valued at tens of billions of dollars, still must clear a congressional review period before taking effect.
Under the agreement, U.S. firms, led by Westinghouse Electric and its AP1000 reactor capable of powering a midsize city or a large artificial-intelligence data center, would build out Saudi Arabia’s nuclear infrastructure. A joint two-year study will examine whether the kingdom should eventually host its own uranium-enrichment facility, built and operated by American companies under a tightly controlled “black box” structure meant to keep sensitive technology out of Saudi hands. If Washington decides against enrichment, Riyadh would be barred from pursuing it alone or with another country for a decade.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is reporting numerous Canadians have already been contacted by police about their social media posts in response to the new “Combatting Hate Act” becoming law.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms says it is receiving reports that some Canadians have been contacted at their homes by government officials over social media posts made months or even years earlier, following the passage of Canada’s new hate speech legislation.
The organization said the reports come after Parliament passed Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, which expands Canada’s hate speech laws by creating new offences, increasing penalties, and removing certain legal safeguards that previously limited prosecutions for hate-related expression. The group said Canadians who are contacted by government officials over online posts should consider recording the interaction.
“If you believe your rights have been infringed or that you have been unfairly targeted, we encourage you to submit a case application through the Justice Centre’s online portal,” the organization said.
The Justice Centre provides legal representation to Canadians who believe their constitutional rights or freedoms have been violated by federal, provincial, or municipal governments or government entities, including universities, human rights commissions, professional associations, and public school boards. It said applications for legal assistance must be submitted online.

EXCERPT:
Indiana Fever shooting guard and team enforcer Sophie Cunningham is making the rounds, first becoming a viral sensation with her pointing meme from a June 24 game against the Phoenix Mercury: she and DeWanna Bonner got into it in a tense fourth quarter filled with technical fouls and drama. Cunningham’s pointing and trolling of Bonner has become a fan favorite staple.
Yet, she has now angered progressive audiences by rightly claiming that transgenders shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sports. The funny part is that this isn’t a controversial topic, since 70 percent of Americans agree. That side lost the plot, with faces of the movement appearing too unhinged, too moronic, too stupid, and prone to public collapses. This is America—people will disagree, and if you can’t handle that, you should do something else. Activism isn’t for you.
Cunningham was asked about her stance in a pre-game press conference, where she shut down a reporter trying to stir the pot. She struck a sensible tone, adding that she’s not political and everyone is deserving of love and respect, but there are the rights of biological women that must be protected. She’s not compromising on that position.
WATCH: WNBA Star Sophie Cunningham SHUTS DOWN a rabid leftist reporter who kept hounding her about her recent comments that mentally ill men should be BANNED from competing in women’s sports. “I think It’s kind of common sense and I think I’ll always believe in that.”
Trump’s Saudi nuclear deal risks destabilizing the Middle East– www.washingtonexaminer.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The United States has reached a historic agreement that will support Saudi Arabia’s ability to enrich uranium on its own soil without the stringent safeguards traditionally required under U.S. nuclear cooperation agreements. The deal was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Under the terms of the agreement, Washington will seek to ensure the program remains focused on civilian purposes by retaining influence over key aspects of Riyadh’s nuclear infrastructure.
What makes the deal truly significant is Trump’s decision to decouple it from Saudi-Israeli normalization efforts. The Biden administration had tied any prospective nuclear agreement to Riyadh joining the Abraham Accords, before Oct. 7, 2023, derailed those efforts. Today, however, the regional security environment has fundamentally changed. The war between the United States and Iran has demonstrated that Gulf states are no longer bystanders but potential targets of Iranian retaliation. But this comes with added risk of regional escalation.
Should Riyadh eventually pursue a military nuclear capability, for example, Israel’s strategic position in the region would be significantly weakened. As the Middle East’s only nuclear power, Israel enjoys a unique deterrent advantage, providing it with considerable leverage over regional adversaries. Preserving that advantage was one of the principal reasons previous U.S. administrations linked Saudi nuclear cooperation to normalization with Israel.
Far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) urged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to follow through on his campaign pledge to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and offered to assist him with the effort.
Mamdani repeatedly promised during his campaign that he would direct the New York Police Department to enforce an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court over Netanyahu’s role in the war in Gaza.
The socialist mayor has since acknowledged that New York City lacks the independent legal authority to carry out such an arrest.
“Arrest him,” Tlaib said in a statement.
“He’s a war criminal.”
Tlaib Offers to Assist with ‘Citizen’s Arrest’
Mamdani’s proposal divided House Democrats, with some endorsing the effort while others acknowledged that a city mayor has no authority to enforce an ICC warrant.
Tlaib said she was uncertain whether Mamdani could instead pursue a citizen’s arrest.
“I don’t know if it applies to citizen’s arrest,” Tlaib said.
Federal Judge Blocks Michigan Abortion Mandates on Pro-Life Ministries– www.standingforfreedom.com News Source
EXCERPT:
U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Jonker has blocked a hostile Michigan law that would have compelled pro-life organizations to hire staff who support abortion and to provide abortion coverage in their employee health insurance plans.
The opinion, issued July 10 in the case Right to Life of Michigan v. Nessel, also denied the state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Right to Life of Michigan and the Pregnancy Resource Center Grand Rapids. The court’s preliminary injunction grants immediate legal protection to these faith-based ministries, allowing them to maintain pro-life hiring standards and operational integrity as the constitutional challenge moves forward.
This ruling is an answer to prayer, but it should also serve as a wake-up call. It reveals a pattern where the state leverages unrelated laws, in this case employment law, to control Christian ministries and undermine religious liberty.
New NRCC Ad Blasts Socialist Amish Shah As Dangerous for Arizona Families– townhall.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) dropped a new paid digital ad today targeting Amish Shah, the radical socialist who just won the primary in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, a key battleground for control of the House. The ad highlights Shah’s ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), including backing Bernie Sanders for president at a DSA event in 2019. He also heaped praise on AOC and other members of the extreme left-wing Squad, praising their progressive movement in the Democratic Party while calling our economic system unfair
The NRCC’s ad highlights Shah’s extremism and the danger he poses to Arizona families.
“Socialist Amish Shah,” the ad says. “He’s with AOC, Ilhan Omar … The Squad. Amish Shah would raise taxes by $4,000 per year on every family, and give sanctuary to criminal illegal aliens. Shah voted against border security funding, against police funding, and against requiring child sex offenders to register online. Shah even voted for early release for dangerous criminals. Socialist Amish Shah: too extreme, too dangerous for us.”
Shah has an uphill battle within his own party, as Democrat leadership grapples with what to do to address the insurgence of socialists. Will the Democrats back Shah financially? The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and its allies spent $4.5 million in an effort to defeat Shah, and Shah spent the primary night begging the DCCC for support, going so far as to joke that he hopes to get their endorsement over his Republican opponent, Jay Feely.
DOJ Demands New Jersey Hand Over Voter Roll Data Within 5 Days– slaynews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) intensified its effort to obtain New Jersey’s voter registration records on Wednesday after Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill disclosed that hundreds of noncitizens have voted in elections.
Sherrill admitted that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were mistakenly added to the state’s voter rolls through the motor-voter system.
New Jersey officials are blaming a “software glitch” for the crisis.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon sent a letter to Sherrill requesting additional information about the registrations, including approximately 400 cases in which the state said registered noncitizens cast ballots.
The request comes as the Justice Department continues its lawsuit against Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell and the state seeking access to New Jersey’s electronic voter registration database.
“Ensuring that U.S. citizens’ votes are not illegally diluted by noncitizens’ votes is of paramount importance,” Dhillon wrote.
“We therefore write to formally request additional information to assess New Jersey’s compliance with various federal statutes, as provided in our July 7, 2026, letter to the Lieutenant Governor.
