Abortion Drug Dealer Hub Referred To DOJ For Investigation– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is asking the Trump Administration’s legal enforcement arm to formally investigate abortion drug dealer marketplace Plan C for flouting the law by advertising the shipment of mifepristone to states where it is banned.

Hawley previously introduced legislation to ban the popular and dangerous abortion drug and give survivors a legal remedy against foreign abortion pill makers. Successfully curbing the illicit shipping of those pills into states where they are banned requires more, including intervention from the Department of Justice in the form of a criminal investigation, he wrote in a criminal referral on Monday.

“At the center of the effort is an entity called Plan C, a left-wing dark-money operation that styles itself a ‘public health information campaign’ but functions, in practice, as the referral and logistics hub for shipping abortion drugs into states whose laws prohibit it,” Hawley wrote in his letter to Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche.

More than a dozen states ban mifepristone for chemical abortions. Yet, websites like Plan C enable anyone with Internet access, even people in pro-life states, to order abortion pills to their door in less than a minute.

Newsom pushes California to crack down on sex trafficking — fast– www.latimes.com

EXCERPT:

California has spent millions of dollars to combat sex trafficking, and yet it can still be found in every city and town, hiding in plain sight.

Whether it’s online, on places such as Figueroa Street in L.A. or Stockton Boulevard in Sacramento, or even in the hotel rooms where our World Cup guests stayed, there are thousands of women and girls being sexually exploited in California right now, despite all that money and all the resources it has purchased.

“The reality is that few threats to a woman’s safety are as brutal or as overlooked as sex trafficking,” First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom said Monday, sitting with her husband, the governor, in a tiny second-floor dance studio built for survivors of trafficking.

Siebel Newsom was there to watch Newsom sign an executive order that was driven by her work as an advocate for survivors of trafficking. On its surface, the order may not sound like much and isn’t likely to make the news. It calls for most of the major state agencies to come up with a plan within 60 days to work together to curb trafficking and help survivors.

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

New York Politician Slams the DSA As a White Supremacist Movement– townhall.com

EXCERPT:

If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that a vast majority of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members are lily-white and insanely rich. With that privilege, they’ve decided their moral and political obligation is to destroy the economic structure and nation that made them spoiled brats

This includes a majority-white crowd chanting ‘You’re next’ to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The optics of that are bad enough, but the DSA doesn’t seem to care. The destruction of the Democratic Party, and America, is the point.

But one New York politician is calling a spade a spade and he just blasted the DSA as a bunch of white supremacists. That’s Queens Borough President Donovan Richards

Here’s more:

A prominent black Big Apple politician compared Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America to white supremacists as a bitter rift between Democrats spilled onto social media.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards breathed new life into a longstanding complaint among minority lawmakers that the largely lily-white DSA ignores race in its crusade to grow its ranks and dismantle capitalism.

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.

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.

‘Everybody’s Quiet’: Van Jones Blasts Democrats After Mamdani ‘Stabbed’ Supporter ‘In The Back’– wltreport.com

EXCERPT:

As antisemitism and socialism gain a serious foothold within the Democrat Party ahead of this year’s midterm elections, even leftists like former Obama adviser and current CNN talking head Van Jones are feeling left out.

He’s been increasingly outspoken in his criticism of the party, including the widespread silence that followed what he described as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s betrayal of Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) by endorsing fellow socialist candidate Darializa Chevalier. 

As Breitbart reported:

He added, “I just want to say that there was a shockwave through this party when Mamdani, who everybody’s excited about, stabbed in the back, Espaillat, who…was the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, beloved by everybody, who backed Mamdani. Mamdani said, I will back you. Then he turns around, stabs him in the back. And backed Chevalier, who has no credentials, except she’s known for having celebrated October 7 murders of Israelis on October 8, and never apologized. This sent a shockwave through the party. People said, hold on a second, why, of all the people in New York City, would Mamdani pick this person to betray someone? And then no one says anything. Everybody’s quiet.”

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.

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.

Scarborough Urges Democrats to Welcome Socialist Wing Ahead of Midterms– www.newsbusters.org

EXCERPT:

The Democratic Party has found itself in the midst of an internal rift just as the midterms are looming. Between revolutionary democratic socialists and establishment liberals, even the media has struggled to pick sides in the battle for the heart of the party. MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough, however, seems to have settled on a choice. On Monday’s Morning Joe, he urged the establishment to let the socialists waltz right on in.

Beginning the segment, Scarborough couldn’t seem to understand why party officials might not want to let socialists and communists into their party. Why can’t we all just get along?

I don’t understand it: this is a time Democrats should be coming together, and yet, every opinion piece I see, every social media post, it’s like about a division in the Democratic party that doesn’t even have to be.

Scarborough’s response to the party divide? Just welcome the socialists with open arms! And pretend they are the ones who will convert to the establishment.

I will say, as a former Republican, now an independent, who is for pro-democracy forces, my attitude has always been, we’re Baptists. We will play 16 hymns of ‘Just as I Am’, if that’s what it takes to bring new converts down. We will wait. And when those new converts come in, we hug them.

Senators explore separate stopgap spending bill as House moves ahead– www.politico.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Senate Republicans are looking at going their own way on government funding, as House Republicans try to move a stopgap spending bill this week to fund the government until after the midterm elections.

GOP lawmakers in the Senate have had conversations with Democrats on moving a stopgap spending bill while also talking with the White House about anomalies, according to a person granted anonymity to disclose private discussions.

Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), the top Democratic appropriator in the Senate, said she has had conversations with Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) about a Senate version of a stopgap spending bill along with potential “anomalies,” which are specific exceptions or exemptions to the flat funding of a continuing resolution usually noted to prevent disruptions to key services.

Murray wants to see if the House can get their legislation across the floor.

“Let’s see what happens in the House,” she said in an interview Monday.

Murray warned that chamber’s measure likely won’t have her support if it makes it through the House and over to the Senate.

“I understand there’s some real flaws with it. I am happy to look at a bipartisan CR, but I understand there’s some real problems on the House side,” she said.

President Donald Trump said Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “will not be arrested” when he visits New York in September, pushing back on a suggestion by Mayor Zohran Mamdani that such an arrest could happen.

Mamdani has said New York City’s legal department is discussing the possibility of arresting Netanyahu when the prime minister is in the city to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani told The New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast that published Saturday.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years,” the mayor said.

CBS Airs Most of Trump Speech Despite Backlash Over Election Integrity Coverage– www.newsbusters.org

When CBS made waves Thursday as the only broadcast network to not only carry (most of) President Trump’s address on election integrity, it was only a matter of time Status founder and deranged partisan Oliver Darcy would take to his newsletter site and cry about it. So, that missive came down on Monday as he whined it went against what they had told Democrats hours earlier and further “inject[ed] politics into the way people evaluate the network[.]”

Darcy was dripping with hate, right from the subhead: “The Bari Weiss-led network privately indicated it would snub Donald Trump’s primetime address last week, Status has learned, only to reverse course at the last minute and air the speech.”

Darcy began by pointing out Tony Dokoupil ended Thursday’s CBS Evening News by encouraging those wanting to hear the speech to check out their streaming platform, CBS News 24/7. Ostensibly, that would mean CBS itself wouldn’t be carrying it.

Pentagon concealing true casualty numbers in Iran war – NYT — RT World News– www.rt.com

EXCERPT:

Dozens of soldiers were injured in previously unreported strikes last week, the New York Times says

The Pentagon has withheld information about dozens of service members injured during the war with Iran, The New York Times reported on Monday, citing US officials.

On Friday, Iran struck a US military site in Jordan, killing two soldiers, wounding four, and leaving one missing. According to the Times, however, dozens of service members were injured throughout the week in three other strikes against US forces in the country. Several helicopters were also reportedly damaged in the attacks.

An official told CNN that “it can take several days or even weeks” for an injury to be logged into the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS), an official database. A total of 427 service members have been injured in the war with Iran, the Times said, citing official figures.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell argued that “providing real-time information on non-fatal casualties to the media is the same as providing that information directly to our adversaries.”

The active compromise that has held the American far left together over these past few years is quite simple: No matter how contradictory the identities of the most ardent proponents may be, as long as your animating motive is undermining America and its history, you’re in.

The desperately poor and the obscenely wealthy. Self-flagellating college kids and urban activists. Foaming-at-the-mouth atheists and devout Muslims. The contradictions are clear, but as long as there’s an enemy to focus on, those can be put aside.

However, Melissa Chaudhry could be the point where those weak bonds finally snap in a meaningful way.

Chaudhry is attempting to unseat Rep. Adam Smith in the Democratic primary for Washington’s 9th Congressional District, based in and around Seattle. While Smith is a reliably liberal vote and has been since he entered Congress in 1997, he’s not really a leftist, per se, which makes him fair game in the 2026 cycle.

New Poll Suggests Midterms May Not Be Quite the Slam Dunk Democrats Expect– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

If history is any guide, Republicans should be bracing for a difficult midterm. With the lone exceptions of 1998 and 2002, the party occupying the White House has lost House seats in virtually every modern midterm election, fueling Democratic confidence about retaking the chamber next year. But a new poll suggests the outcome may not be quite the slam dunk Democrats are anticipating. Republicans may be in a stronger position than many analysts have assumed.

A Washington Post/Ipsos poll released on Saturday asked participants which political party they trusted to handle the economy better. Despite the spike in energy prices due to the war with Iran, Republicans held a four-point advantage, with 39% choosing the GOP compared with 35% who selected the Democrats.

Likewise, despite the Left’s portrayal of President Donald Trump as a reckless authoritarian bent on destroying “our democracy,” Republicans also narrowly led on the question of which party voters agreed with more on “important issues.” Forty-one percent sided with the GOP, while 40% chose the Democrats.
