On Monday’s CNN This Morning, CNN Guest and WIRED contributor Garrett Graff praised Minnesota protestors for supposedly being non-violent and said viral videos only showed federal law enforcement being violent. In reality, many other videos have shown protesters being violent, including a riot outside a hotel where federal law enforcement was staying on Sunday night into Monday morning.

The segment was a part of CNN ‘Breaking News’ coverage pertaining to the shooting of Alex Pretti and the following unrest.

Host Audie Cornish introduced a clip of FBI Director Kash Patel that talked about the need to “quell these riots” amid a trend across the country of “protests turning into violent scenarios and people attacking law enforcement.”

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has emerged as President Donald Trump’s “quiet hammer,” a source close to the White House told Breitbart News for an in-depth profile of the world’s premier spy agency in the first year back in office for Trump.

This source specifically pointed to how Trump sent Ratcliffe down to Venezuela just 12 days after the daring mission in which U.S. forces captured now-ousted leader Nicolas Maduro. Ratcliffe met with acting Venezuelan president Delcy Rodriguez, Trump’s highest-ranking and first Cabinet-level official to visit the nation since Maduro’s capture.

“Ratcliffe has become Trump’s quiet hammer,” this source close to the White House said. “He goes in, accomplishes whatever mission the President gave him, then disappears back into the shadows. The Agency seems to have adopted the same approach, so Trump actually deserves credit for turning the CIA into an instrument of America First power.”

Radicals swarmed a hotel in Maple Grove, Minnesota, on Monday night, working under the presumption that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was inside. While some in the mob appeared keen at the outset to simply scream, bang their pans, and impotently blow whistles in protest of CBP and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, others decided to get violent.

The Maple Grove Police Department, which responded around 8 p.m. to reports of a protest at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, demonstrated that it has a lower tolerance for attacks on law enforcement than their local counterparts in Minneapolis — and the proof manifested in tear gas and arrests.

It’s the last thing that should’ve happened, but here we are. Minnesota is now a national spectacle after Alex Pretti was shot and killed by Border Patrol over the weekend. Then, FBI Director Kash Patel and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doled out some terrible takes on the incident, further creating chaos. It’s already bad enough that the Left thinks this was an execution, and some Department of Homeland Security folks are portraying Pretti as a domestic terrorist gearing for mass carnage. We don’t know that—some of the Border Patrol agents had bodycams. We’ll get back to you once they’re analyzed.

Long-term care facilities commonly prescribe antipsychotic drugs to elderly service users, often to treat behavioral issues associated with dementia. Despite a lack of evidence that these drugs are effective for older adults, and at least one study finding that antipsychotics exacerbate behavioral problems in nursing homes, prescription rates continue to climb.

While efficacy is questionable, the harmful effects associated with antipsychotic drugs in elderly populations is not. Antipsychotic prescriptions in elderly service users are linked to increased risk of pneumonia, stroke, kidney injury, blood clots, falls, bone fracture, heart attack, heart failure, anticholinergic reactions, parkinsonian events, tardive dyskinesia, orthostatic hypotension, cognitive slowing, and death.

An appeals court on Wednesday reversed a lower court decision in Minnesota that placed severe restrictions on federal immigration agents when it comes to handling violent and disruptive agitators.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued an administrative stay, pausing a lower court’s preliminary injunction that had limited the tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against protesters and “observers.”

Wednesday’s decision comes amid Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in early December 2025, which has deployed over 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The operation has resulted in the arrest of more than 10,000 individuals, according to U.S. Border Patrol officials.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to clarify that pregnancy centers can receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant funding from states.

“The House passage of HR 6945—the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act—reaffirms the necessity of the critical, life-saving and life-enhancing services that pregnancy centers provide, and protects the rights of states to support and fund them,” said Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), an original co-sponsor of the bill, which was introduced by Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN).

“This legislation represents a critical step towards protecting and defending the vital work of pregnancy centers, which, since their inception, have been unfairly maligned, harassed, and discriminated against by radical, pro-abortion state and federal administrations.

“Currently, there are more than 2,700 pregnancy centers operating throughout the United States—each and every one of them offering unparalleled compassion, respect, and care for both mothers and their precious children,” continued Smith, who, earlier this Congress, introduced the Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act of 2025 (HR 2226), which would prohibit federal, state and local governments from discriminating against pregnancy centers because of their life-affirming mission.

The poll of 600 likely Republican primary voters, conducted by conservative-leaning Public Opinion Strategies, finds Collins benefiting from strong name recognition. Seventy-one percent of voters say they are familiar with the northeast Georgia congressman, the highest of any candidate tested.

On a hypothetical primary ballot, Collins leads with 32%, well ahead of U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter at 16% and former football coach Derek Dooley at 12%. Roughly one-third of voters remain undecided. When asked to pick a second choice, respondents were scattered, underscoring how fluid the race remains.

Less than two weeks into the new Virginia legislative session, and Democrats have unleashed one of the most aggressive progressive policy blitzes in the commonwealth’s history. Newly sworn-in Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Lt. Gov. Hashmi, and Attorney General Jay Jones — who swept into office on November 5, 2025, defeating Republicans in all three statewide races and picking up 13 seats in the House of Delegates — have wasted no time implementing their policy agenda.

Lest we forget the election controversy of Jay Jones, who it was revealed in 2022 that he had sent texts fantasizing about “two bullets to the head” for then-Republican minority leader Todd Gilbert, even musing about his children’s deaths.
He also allegedly made anti-police remarks and talked about urinating on his opponents’ graves. Spanberger called those texts “disgusting” but refused to withdraw her endorsement of Jones, but fast forward: Voters elected him anyway. Now he’s Virginia’s top law enforcement officer.

It’s entirely possible that what I’m about to describe was Donald Trump’s PR plan all along. If so, bravo!

I tip my hat, because the Trump administration is just one move away from the greatest PR victory in modern political history. No hyperbole: He’s on the verge of exposing liberal Europe as greedy, freeriding hypocrites; humiliating too-big-for-its-britches Canada; and — even more importantly — possibly securing something that’s at the top of the “America First” agenda: a real, authentic European military deterrence that doesn’t rely on American blood and treasure.

This isn’t some far-flung PR plan that relies on future events: President Trump could do it at his very next press conference. Everything’s set up perfectly!

It all involves Greenland.

School officials said two children were taken on Tuesday, including a 17-year-old boy on his way to classes. Later that afternoon, Liam Ramos was also taken. Critics say ICE used the 5-year-old as “bait” to enter his parents’ house.

In that time, the World Trade Center has fallen. The first mass-produced product with WiFi, Apple’s iBook, was less than two years old at the time. Broadband internet was rare outside of college campuses. Real smartphones were years away. Barack Obama was an Illinois state senator who had, just four years prior, transitioned from being a “community organizer.”

George W. Bush was replacing Clinton, thanks in part to third-party candidates who took away votes from Democratic nominee Al Gore.

Surprise medical bills have bludgeoned most Americans. In fact, about half of insured Americans face unexpected charges every year. In 2020, Congress passed the No Surprises Act, which banned out-of-network billing rates for some services. It also entitled patients who aren’t using health insurance to a “good faith estimate” of out-of-pocket costs before receiving care. But there’s a catch that stacks the deck against patients and taxpayers: final bills within $400 of the original estimate are legally collectible.

After stinging GOP losses in November, health care “affordability” is all the rage. Voters are frustrated that every other medical appointment brings another unexpected charge and an inevitable battle of wills and wits with the billing department. Christopher Jacobs recently opined in these pages that “Republicans should stop playing into Democrats’ hands and start … reducing the underlying cost of health care.”
