Investigation: Hamas planned massive October 7th attacks across Europe

Swiss newspaper reports Hamas had a years-long plot to carry out an October 7-style wave of coordinated terrorist attacks across Europe, targeting Israeli, Jewish, and Western institutions.

By: Israel National News, Jul 21, 2026:

A Swiss newspaper has uncovered what it describes as a years-long Hamas plan to carry out an October 7-style wave of coordinated terrorist attacks across Europe, targeting Israeli, Jewish, and Western institutions.

According to an investigation published by Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Hamas built a covert terrorist infrastructure across the continent years before the October 7 massacre, including hidden weapons caches, smuggling routes, logistical networks, and dormant terror cells ready to be activated on orders from the organization’s leadership.

EXCERPT:

A French modeling scout accused of helping Jeffrey Epstein recruit and abuse young women and children has been found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Daniel Siad, 69, was under investigation in France over allegations that he assisted Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.

Siad had not yet been questioned by investigators and denied the accusations against him.

“An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery,” the Nanterre prosecutor’s office said.

Authorities said an autopsy would be conducted after Siad was found dead at his home in Colombes, Hauts-de-Seine.

AI can become more biased than humans while choosing who gets hired; study finds | timesofindia.indiatimes.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being trusted to help employers screen CVs, rank candidates and even conduct early-stage interviews. The promise is simple: AI can process thousands of applications quickly, reduce administrative workloads and, in theory, make hiring decisions more objective than humans. According to a recent review by MIT Technology, based on the 2024 study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology titled “Costly Exploration Produces Stereotypes With Dimensions of Warmth and Competence”, large language models (LLMs) may not only inherit human biases from the data they are trained on but also develop entirely new stereotypes based on their own experiences. Rather than simply reflecting existing prejudice, these systems can create fresh patterns of discrimination as they attempt to optimise decision-making over time.The findings are particularly significant because businesses are rapidly integrating AI into recruitment. If these systems begin making assumptions about groups of applicants after only a handful of hiring decisions, they could gradually reinforce unfair employment practices without any explicit human instruction.The research, conducted by scientists at Princeton University and the University of Chicago, builds on earlier psychological work showing how stereotypes can emerge from repeated decision-making. It suggests that the same learning strategies that make AI effective at solving complex problems can also make it unusually prone to stereotyping job candidates.

Democrats Who Rail Against ‘Epstein Class’ Accepted Donations from ‘Pedo Island’ Guest Reid Hoffman slaynews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) have both denounced what they call the “Epstein class,” but campaign finance records show that each has benefited from the political support of billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.

Hoffman has acknowledged maintaining a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after the convicted sex offender’s 2008 conviction.

The billionaire has also admitted to visiting Epstein’s notorious private “Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean.

Talarico, who is running for the U.S. Senate against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, declared last month that “The Epstein class has no place in Texas.”

Ossoff has repeatedly used the same phrase while criticizing President Donald Trump and wealthy political donors.

Speaking at an Atlanta rally in February, Ossoff said, “This is the Epstein class ruling our country.

Death toll from Venezuela earthquakes rises to nearly 4,500 with thousands still missing www.independent.co.uk
News Source

EXCERPT:

The death toll from two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela last month has tragically risen to 4,490, National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez confirmed on Sunday.

The official count of injured remains unchanged at 16,740, while 6,462 people have been successfully rescued from the devastation.

According to the latest figures, 17,907 individuals have been left homeless following the disaster.

The Venezuelans who remain displaced have been forced into crowded shelters or to sleep outdoors, grappling with a severe lack of clean water and deplorable sanitary conditions in the wake of the June 24 tremors.

Aid organizations describe the aftermath as a significant medical emergency. They caution that without swift intervention, the crisis is poised to claim more lives in the coming days and weeks.

Eugenio Cova, head of the trauma unit at Caracas’s Hospital del Oeste Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, articulated the immediate concern: “The issue we foresee just around the corner is the infections that patients who have been exposed to the disaster for the longest time might bring.”

(AFP/Getty)

The Venezuelan government has been accused of remaining largely absent in the first 48–72 hours of the earthquake, downplaying the death toll, poor coordination and underlying systemic failures.

Two 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes – the bigger one the strongest to hit the country in more than a century – toppled or damaged 58,000–59,000 buildings, especially in La Guaira, the hardest-hit coastal state and parts of Caracas, and displaced at least 15,800 people.

(AFP/Getty)

Residents in La Guaira have lashed out at the self-described socialist government of Delcy Rodríguez, alleging that the initial absence of a serious government search-and-rescue operation left them alone to scour for neighbours and loved ones with their bare hands.

However, Rodríguez fiercely defended her government at a press conference, saying politicisation of human tragedy is “disgraceful.”

“We did not wait one day, two days or three days. We activated immediately,” she said, wearing a black ribbon as a symbol of mourning.


Almost half of U.S. Muslims favor Hamas www.americanthinker.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

According to a Pew survey, 44% of American Muslims recently surveyed expressed a favorable opinion of Hamas.

The United States designated Hamas a foreign terrorist organization long before it killed 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, raped women, burned families alive, tortured civilians, and kidnapped children and elderly grandparents. Its leaders have repeatedly declared that Israel should cease to exist.

Yet nearly half of Muslim Americans surveyed said they view the group favorably.

Many Muslim Americans have publicly condemned terrorism while backing the rights of Palestinians. But 44% support is significant.

Imagine if a comparable percentage of any other religious or ethnic group expressed favorable views toward a different U.S.-designated terrorist organization, such as ISIS.

Discussion of Hamas is softened by the political context. Excuses include “occupation,” historical disputes, or resentment over the war in Gaza. Those issues may help explain why some people sympathize with Palestinians, but they do not transform Hamas into something other than what it is: a terrorist organization whose charter, actions, and rhetoric have centered on violence and the destruction of Israel.

There is an important distinction between supporting the Palestinian people and viewing Hamas favorably. Millions of Palestinians themselves have suffered under Hamas’ brutal rule. The organization has redirected resources from civilians to military infrastructure, suppressed dissent, and embedded fighters and weapons among civilian populations, increasing the suffering of the very people it claims to defend.

This goes past a poll. When a terrorist organization is viewed through a political lens rather than a moral one, terrorism itself risks becoming normalized. Instead of asking whether deliberately targeting civilians is evil, people begin asking whether the perpetrators were sufficiently aggrieved.

No political grievance justifies the massacre of concertgoers, the murder of children, the rape of women, or the kidnapping of civilians. Those acts should be condemned regardless of who commits them or what cause they claim to represent.

Pew’s survey doesn’t tell us why respondents answered as they did. Some may have interpreted “favorable” differently from others. Some may see Hamas primarily as a resistance movement despite rejecting its methods. Public opinion surveys have limits, but the results cannot simply be dismissed because they are uncomfortable.


Trump drops Strait of Hormuz tolls for Gulf trade deals www.washingtonexaminer.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday abandoned plans to charge fees for American policing of the Strait of Hormuz in lieu of inking new trade and investment deals with Gulf states.

The president, following the breakdown of the memorandum of understanding with Iran, has said that the United States will implement a blockade of Iranian-controlled shipping lanes while maintaining unencumbered commerce for other countries looking to make commercial use of the strait.

Still, despite guarantees from other top administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that the international waterway would not be charged, Trump stated that the U.S. would collect a 20% “reimbursement fee” on cargo moving through the strait.

“Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military,” the president wrote on Truth Social Tuesday morning. “The Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran — and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION.

“We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States,” he continued. “Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs!

“America is WINNING again, winning like never before,” Trump concluded. “The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!”

U.S. Central Command announced Monday that the American military will re-implement its blockade of the strait on Thursday at 4 p.m. ET.

TRUMP RETURNS TO WAR WITH IRAN FROM ‘POSITION OF STRENGTH’

Earlier Tuesday morning, the White House attributed the reopening of the strait to June’s positive inflation report.

“President Trump consistently said that, as traffic in the Strait of Hormuz normalizes, oil prices – and thus overall inflation – would plummet like a rock,” White House spokesman Kush Desai wrote in a statement. “The expectation-smashing June [consumer price index] report proves President Trump was right: driven by lower energy prices, inflation clocked its biggest drop since April 2020.”


Trump prepares fresh tariffs on dozens of countries: Report www.channelnewsasia.com

EXCERPT:

US President Donald Trump is poised to unleash fresh tariffs on dozens of countries as soon as this week, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday (Jul 21), with his temporary 10 per cent global tariff scheduled to expire on Friday.

The FT said the most immediate new duties are expected to be on a par with the 10 per cent tariffs currently in place, but the administration was also working on other investigations that could grant it the legal authority to propose higher duties.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Trump Preparing to Challenge Legitimacy of Georgia’s Two Democrat Senators slaynews.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

A report circulating Monday claims President Donald Trump is preparing to make a major announcement involving Georgia’s two Democrat senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

The report, citing a “well-placed source in Georgia,” alleges Trump plans to declare Ossoff and Warnock “illegitimate because of fraud.”

According to the post, the announcement could come as soon as Monday evening.

Neither Trump nor the White House has publicly confirmed the report.

No official details have been released.

As of publication, the alleged announcement remains unverified.

If Trump does make such an announcement, it would mark a major escalation in the administration’s renewed focus on Georgia’s 2020 election and the January 2021 Senate runoffs that gave Democrats control of the Senate.

Trump Administration Reviews Georgia Election Claims

The reported announcement comes as federal authorities have reopened inquiries into allegations involving Georgia’s 2020 election.

Those investigations include claims tied to ballot handling, election administration, and other disputed issues from the election cycle.

Trump administration officials have argued that additional review is justified where credible evidence exists.

Democrats have pushed back, arguing that Georgia’s results were already affirmed through recounts, audits, and legal proceedings.

However, the renewed investigations have kept Georgia at the center of the national debate over election integrity.

Trump has consistently argued that widespread fraud affected Georgia’s elections and that the matter was never fully resolved.

His administration has continued to pursue additional reviews of election-related allegations.

Officials have said credible claims should be examined rather than dismissed.

Ossoff and Warnock Flipped Georgia Seats

Georgia is represented in the Senate by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).

Both were elected in the January 2021 runoff elections.

Their victories flipped two Republican-held seats and gave Democrats effective control of the Senate, with then-Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided chamber.

The results marked the first time in more than two decades that Georgia sent two Democratic senators to Washington at the same time.

They also cemented Georgia’s transformation from a reliably Republican state into one of the country’s most closely watched political battlegrounds.

Ossoff, 39, is Georgia’s senior senator despite taking office the same day as Warnock.

Senate seniority is determined alphabetically when members are sworn in at the same time.

Before entering the Senate, Ossoff gained national attention during his 2017 special election campaign for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District.

He lost that race but later defeated incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) in the 2021 runoff.

Ossoff is now seeking reelection in what is expected to be one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races.

Warnock previously served as senior pastor of Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached.

He first won statewide office by defeating appointed Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in the January 2021 runoff.

Warnock later secured a full six-year term in 2022 by defeating Republican Herschel Walker.

No Court Has Invalidated Results

Questions surrounding Georgia’s 2020 election have continued to drive political and legal battles years after the Senate runoffs.

Trump and his allies have argued that the election was plagued by serious problems that were never properly addressed.

Democrats insist the results were legitimate and that the matter has been settled.

Despite the ongoing investigations and political disputes, no court has invalidated Georgia’s Senate election results.

No court has ruled that Ossoff or Warnock was improperly elected.

Both continue to serve as Georgia’s certified and legally recognized U.S. senators.

If Trump announces new findings or proposed action involving Georgia’s Senate elections, it would become one of the most significant developments yet in his administration’s effort to revisit unresolved disputes from the 2020 election cycle.

For now, the report remains unconfirmed.

But the possibility of a Trump announcement has already put renewed attention on Georgia, the 2021 Senate runoffs, and the election integrity fights that continue to shape national politics.

Democrat congressman’s Israel trip takes dramatic turn as officials dispute viral claims www.theblaze.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

A sitting United States congressman reported an unexpected altercation during his visit to Israel last week. While supporters call for accountability, others have insisted that the altercation was nothing more than a big misunderstanding.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) made a post on Saturday detailing an alleged detention by Israeli settlers and Israel Defense Forces.

‘It’s too much, too insulting and humiliating to America. This is how revolutions start.’

The video and photo in Rep. Khanna’s initial post show multiple vehicles in the road with a few men standing outside one of the trucks. The vehicles appear to be blocking the road from the perspective of a camera in a vehicle facing the scene.

Two of the men are apparently holding firearms. One of them appears to be wearing full military garb.

“Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine. When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention,” Khanna said in the caption of the post.

“They made a huge mistake. You will be hearing more soon,” he added, linking a New York Times article at the end of the post.

The initial post has since garnered 10 million views on X.

The New York Times added some context behind Khanna’s three-day trip. On Wednesday, the Democratic congressman was visiting the abandoned Palestinian Bedouin village of Khirbet Zanuta in the southern West Bank.

According to the report, “a car of men holding guns pulled up and blocked the narrow road out of the village.” The men allegedly began harassing and taunting Khanna and his team. Eventually, members of the Israeli military showed up, yet instead of dispersing the settlers, they began blocking the road as well.

While Khanna was eventually allowed to continue his journey, he reflected on the fear that this incident inspired in him: “I felt powerless in that situation, which is not an easy thing, as I have a lot of privilege in life. Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation, if they could make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90 minutes.”

The Israeli military confirmed that troops were sent to the scene after receiving a report of settlers blocking vehicles near the Palestinian village, according to a statement by the Israeli military to Reuters.

“Upon their arrival, the troops dispersed the Israeli civilians and allowed the vehicles to continue on their way,” the military told Reuters.

On Monday morning, the congressman reposted bodycam footage capturing what Khanna described as an “unprecedented, illegal detention of Americans by a foreign country.”

The video, posted by Nadav Wieman, executive director of Breaking the Silence, shows the point of view of a man walking up to several men in one car and speaking with them briefly before returning to a van. However, the man does not refer to Khanna by name, nor does Khanna appear at any point in the video.

Of the video, Wieman wrote: “The IDF is lying about the detention of Rep. Khanna. I was on the ground with him that day, and my body camera captured us being detained by both settlers and Israeli soldiers. The IDF did not disperse the violent settlers, as they claim. They explicitly sided with them.”

However, others, including Ambassadors Mike Huckabee and Michael Leiter, have insisted that there is “more to this story,” as Huckabee put it.

In a “Face the Nation” interview, Leiter, Israeli ambassador to the United States, explained that the congressman did not follow the proper protocol, leading to confusion: “There was not an alert. There was a question about visas, that’s all.”

“When we requested he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So, that’s unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate,” he added.

Huckabee, U.S. ambassador to Israel, has acknowledged the incident in two separate posts, though both posts merely highlighted others’ reporting on the incident, a fact which one of Huckabee’s high-profile opponents attacked.

Additionally, Huckabee’s two posts acknowledging the incident came several hours after Tucker Carlson’s attack on his response:

An Amercian [sic] member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman, and instead uses his social media accounts to promote his own vapid cable news appearances, which amount to propaganda for that same foreign country. It’s too much, too insulting and humiliating to America. This is how revolutions start. For the sake our nation, Mike Huckabee should be removed from his post immediately.

Blaze News contacted the Jerusalem Embassy’s press office in an attempt to receive a comment from Huckabee but did not immediately receive a response.

Illegal Alien Shot By ICE After Allegedly Weaponizing Vehicle; Enraged Anti-Ice Agitators Try to Storm Sen. Collins’ Office › American Greatness amgreatness.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

An illegal immigrant in Biddeford, Maine has been shot dead by an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent after he allegedly tried to run over the agent with his car.

Senator Angus King (I-Maine) said that Homeland Security  officials told him the 26-year old man had been ordered to leave the country and that he had “weaponized the vehicle.”

King and Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) told reporters they’ve learned little from federal agencies about the shooting, and said they believe the ICE agents were not equipped with body cameras.

An eye witness who drove by the scene as it was enfolding, corroborated what DHS told Sen. King.

The man told the Portland Press Herald that the driver was told multiple times to stop by an ICE agent, but instead of stopping, he put the car in drive and drove toward the officer.

“As I was approaching, you could see flashing blue lights,” the witness said. “The ICE agent was yelling and drew his weapon,” he continued. “And he kept yelling and yelling and warning the person driving—which is when the car was put into drive and was trying to hit the ICE officer—and he fired probably four shots at him.”

The vehicle was registered to a Jhonathan Ramires, who was living in Biddeford, according to WMTW, but it’s not clear if Ramires was the person who was shot, as federal officials have not yet officially released any details about the incident or the deceased.

The Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition told the media the man was from Columbia and that he was “authorized” to work in the United States.

The FBI is investigating the incident, with support from Maine State Police and the Department of Public Safety.

This is the second fatal ICE shooting in less than a week, following a similar incident in Houston, Texas, on June 7, where an illegal alien from Mexico was shot during a targeted enforcement operation.

As he was attempting to evade arrest, the driver of that vehicle, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, allegedly rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle.

DHS said in a statement that Araujo had refused to follow multiple verbal commands and attempted to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in the officer firing his weapon.

Monday’s  shooting, which occurred just before 7:18 a.m., sparked immediate protests and calls for accountability from local Democrats and illegal immigrant rights groups.

“No more hate, no more fear!” agitators chanted as they meandered down the street. “Immigrants are welcome here!” they yelled.

A mob of several hundred anti-ICE agitators marched down the street chanting “no more hate, no more fear!” before swamping the Biddeford City Hall and attempting to storm Sen. Susan Collins’ office.

As the mob massed outside Sen. Collins’ Biddeford office, about a dozen agitators made it inside the entryway, chanting “Vote her out!” and banging their fists on the office’s locked doors.

Panicked staffers inside could be seen on the phone as the situation intensified, according to the Press Herald.

Minutes later, five Biddeford police officers reportedly appeared and pushed through the entryway and placed themselves between mob and the door.

They continued to chant “vote her out!”

“This is your fault Susan!” one man shrieked. “You’re a fascist!” another person yelled at the officers.

Maine Democrat Troy Jackson posted “I’ve been alerted to the fatal ICE shooting in Biddeford this morning. Jackson is running for the U.S. Senate now that disgraced nominee Graham Platner has dropped out.

“Our team is monitoring this situation very closely and will provided updates as we learn more. My heart is with Biddeford – and with all Mainers,” Jackson added.

 

 


Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline, will serve out his Senate term www.politico.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

Darline Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham’s younger sister and close confidant, will serve the remainder of the late senator’s term in Washington.

“It’s my honor to ask his little sister Darline Graham to finish his work for him now,” South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said Monday, formally appointing Nordone after recounting stories of Graham’s legacy.

President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune both publicly expressed support for McMaster choosing Nordone as a tribute to Graham.

Her appointment as an interim caretaker triggers a wide-open race ahead of the Aug. 11 primary. Several Republicans are already weighing bids to take over Graham’s place as the GOP Senate nominee.

“It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States,” Nordone said at the press conference alongside McMaster. She added that the decision is one that “Lindsey would have wanted.”

Graham helped raise Nordone after their parents passed away early in her childhood. The siblings had shared a close relationship since, and she appeared alongside the late senator on the campaign trail on several occasions — including at his presidential campaign launch in the summer of 2015.

Nordone’s appointment came together quickly over the last 36 hours, according to McMaster’s top political adviser and former chief of staff Trey Walker.

McMaster was notified of Graham’s death around 11 p.m. Saturday, hours before the late senator’s office publicly shared the news, Walker told POLITICO.

The first thing the governor did on Sunday morning was call Nordone to express his condolences. Then, as the day progressed and he fielded calls about next steps, he rang her again around 10 a.m. with a question: Would she like to serve out the remainder of her brother’s term in Washington?

Nordone and McMaster know each other well. Nordone helms the state’s Commission for the Blind, is “very familiar at the state house” and interfaces “a lot” with the governor’s office, Walker said.

With Nordone’s buy-in, the next call the governor placed was to the White House.

“How fitting a tribute to Lindsey would it be … to appoint Darline, his sister, to finish Lindsey’s work this time and to put that beautiful bookend on the story of his service?” Walker said, describing how McMaster laid out his thinking to Trump. The president, whose blessing is key in deeply conservative South Carolina, was “very receptive” to the idea, Walker noted.

Trump then made that approval clear on Truth Social on Monday morning when he said her appointment would be a “fabulous tribute” to the late senator.

The White House and McMaster’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

South Carolina Republicans expect Nordone to only serve as a caretaker to finish Graham’s term, though Nordone hasn’t signaled herself whether she will or will not mount her own bid to serve a full six-year term in Washington.

The jockeying for the Aug. 11 primary has already begun in the deep-red state where an open Senate seat is a rare opportunity for up-and-coming politicians to come across.

Republicans both in South Carolina and Washington point to Rep. Russell Fry (R-S.C.) as a possible top contender, as someone who has deep ties to Columbia and to Trump’s White House. Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, who unsuccessfully ran for governor earlier this year, is also seen as a top contender because of her high name recognition and her ability to reengage her statewide campaign infrastructure.

Others, like Mace and Norman have more clearly signaled their intent to mount their own bids for Graham’s seat, but no candidates have officially announced a formalized run.

Trump, who could have an outsized role in boosting Graham’s elected successor, has yet to make any public statements about his preferences for a candidate to fill the full term.


Democrat Civil War Erupts as Warren and Schumer Back Rival Michigan Senate Candidates slaynews.com
News Source

EXCERPT:

A growing Democratic Party power struggle is spilling into the open as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) back opposing candidates in Michigan’s closely watched Senate primary.

Warren endorsed far-left Abdul El-Sayed on Monday in the race to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), placing herself directly against Schumer, who is supporting Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI).

The competing endorsements expose the widening divide between the Democrat establishment and the party’s progressive wing, which is attempting to expand its influence in Congress.

Warren Joins Progressive Push for El-Sayed

Warren announced her endorsement just hours after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appeared with El-Sayed at a campaign event.

In a video announcing her support, Warren praised El-Sayed for rejecting corporate campaign contributions.

“The only candidate in this race not taking corporate money, and he’s fighting to get money out of politics altogether,” Warren said.

“And make no mistake,” she continued.

“Abdul is the only candidate in this race who can build the grassroots movement needed to win in November.

“More money in your pocket, to get money out of politics and deliver ‘Medicare-for-all.’

“Michigan, let’s get this done.”

The endorsement marks a shift for Warren, who had previously supported Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow before she withdrew from the race earlier this month.

McMorrow opposed “Medicare-for-all,” a policy Warren has championed for years.

El-Sayed has faced scrutiny over previous social media posts, including calls to “defund the police” by redirecting taxpayer money away from purchasing “war materiel to wage war in our streets.”

Schumer Backs Establishment Candidate

Schumer waited until the Democrat field narrowed before publicly endorsing Stevens, though he had reportedly supported her privately during the crowded primary.

“I think she has the best chance to win,” Schumer told Punchbowl News last month.

Stevens has also received endorsements from Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), and Peters.

El-Sayed’s supporters include Warren, Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).

Neither Stevens nor El-Sayed has committed to backing Schumer as Democratic leader in the next Congress.

El-Sayed has also said he has not spoken with Schumer during the campaign.

El-Sayed Targets Democratic Establishment

El-Sayed has openly framed his campaign as a direct challenge to the Democratic Party’s existing leadership and fundraising structure.

He told Politico that Schumer and other party leaders oppose his effort to remove corporate money from politics because Schumer’s “whole approach is that you get to go talk to the money people and then dole out their corporate money to help elect the people who are going to do the things that corporations want.”

“So, of course, they’re freaking out,” El-Sayed said.

“They’re not freaking out because they think I’m going to lose.

“They’re freaking out because they think I’m going to win.”

The Michigan contest is not the first Senate race to expose divisions between Warren and Schumer.

Warren previously backed former Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, while Schumer worked behind the scenes to recruit Maine Gov. Janet Mills into that race.

The Michigan primary now represents another major test of whether the Democrat establishment can maintain control over the party’s nominees or whether its increasingly organized progressive wing can displace candidates favored by longtime leaders.

President Trump’s DOJ Found A “Shadow” Admissions System At A Major Medical School wltreport.com

EXCERPT:

The Supreme Court told America’s universities that race could no longer be used as an admissions shortcut.

President Trump’s Justice Department now says one of the nation’s major medical schools responded by building a new system behind the old one.

It had neutral-sounding labels. It had separate applicant pools.

And according to federal investigators, it was designed to keep producing racial preferences after the Supreme Court had ordered them out.

The school is the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.

Cuba Built a Network of American Activist Groups to Turn Against U.S. Policy › American Greatness amgreatness.com

EXCERPT:

A new State Department report contends Cuba has spent years quietly building a network of sympathetic American activist groups it can mobilize against U.S. policy, citing a recently circulated nationwide protest plan as evidence.

The plan, distributed in June as the “National Rapid Response Plan,” came from the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), a U.S. coalition of more than 60 organizations. The State Department ties the coalition to Havana through the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, or ICAP, a Cuban entity sanctioned in June over alleged support for Cuban intelligence operations.

The document instructs organizers to launch “coordinated nationwide actions” within 24 hours of any U.S. strike on Cuba, aiming to make it “politically and materially costly for the U.S. government to wage war on Cuba.” The report calls the plan proof of Cuba’s “subversive capabilities on American territory.”

Organizers are told to converge on federal buildings, courthouses, military bases and ICE facilities. The plan seeks to “connect Cuba solidarity to anti-ICE/immigrant defense work happening nationwide” and points activists to a database mapping 1,335 U.S. military and law-enforcement sites in the Western Hemisphere.

Planned Parenthood Ramps Up Child Vivisection Thanks To Tax Dollars thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

This July, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars flooded back to abortion businesses after Congress failed to extend a defunding provision for Planned Parenthood.

President Donald Trump championed multiple funding roadblocks for abortion providers in 2025, and rescinded Hyde Amendment violations instituted by the Biden administration. His efforts culminated in a year-long ban on Medicaid reimbursements for abortion providers. Congress passed this as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and signed into law July 4, 2025.

Congress had multiple opportunities to extend the ban over the last year, including a proposed amendment to Reconciliation Package 2.0, but they failed. So America’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood, celebrated returned taxpayer funding on July 5 in its social media and friendly news coverage. Alongside grants, this federal funding historically accounts for more than 40 percent of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue. One organization official described the expiration as “immediate operational relief,” though insufficient to recoup the year of lost income.

Crooked Minnesota Democrat Attorney General has gone viral for apparently saying the quiet part out loud regarding the Democrats’ scheme to obtain power at all costs.

While speaking at a rally in Minneapolis on Monday for far-left Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who is running for the Senate, Ellison seemed to reveal the Democrats’ game plan to seize the midterms.

Ellison bragged that not only were Democrats going to get every person who was not old enough to vote in 2024, but also those who were not naturalized citizens.

Haitians Are Self-Deporting At Extreme Rates www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:

Can anyone name one positive benefit for Americans since the tens of thousands of Haitians moved to Springfield, Ohio? No? I didn’t think so. This is why there should be nothing but celebrations over reports of 80% of them self-deporting, as this can only bring good things to the country.

Per Spectrum News:

Haitian families are leaving Ohio over the uncertainty surrounding their immigration status.

A U.S. The Supreme Court decision last month allows the Trump administration to end their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

While it is great that SCOTUS sided on the “right side of history,” the amount of damage caused by this should not be taken lightly. Officials, both local and all the way to federal, turned a blind eye and slapped Springfield residents in the face, solely because they deemed a group of foreign nationals less fortunate. You cannot return after betrayal like this, and it is astonishing how the media is painting this as if the deportations are a bad thing for Americans.

In one of Ohio’s largest populations of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, community leaders are concerned about another challenge that could create — more vacant homes.

Houses boarded up and abandoned are a reminder of a problem Springfield has spent years trying to fix. But with uncertainty around immigration status and Haitian families moving out because of it, city leaders worry the city could face another wave of empty houses.

What about Harvard’s huge financial endowment? Why do they need to lay anyone off?

The Harvard Crimson reports:

Harvard FAS To Begin Layoff Notifications Next Week

Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences will begin notifying some staff of layoffs next week, according to a person familiar with the matter — part of a broader process that could also include direct placements into new positions or opportunities to move into different roles.

The notifications mark the beginning of a long-anticipated staff overhaul that has been in the works since last spring. It is unclear how many employees will be affected, though the FAS could lay off up to one quarter of its staff.

Days before the expected notifications, FAS announced Thursday that it had appointed three senior administrators who will help carry out the school’s new administrative model.

FAS spokesperson James M. Chisholm did not deny the expected timeline in a statement, writing that the school “will continue to communicate transparently about the workforce planning process,” including by proactively alerting staff and providing detailed information about any job action.
