Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has taken decisive action against what she describes as a politicized intelligence community. On Tuesday, she announced the revocation of security clearances for 37 current and former intelligence officials accused of manipulating intelligence for political gain. This move, outlined in a memo to her office, includes notable figures who once held key positions within the CIA, NSA, State Department, and National Security Council.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) criticized the Trump administration’s opening of a detention center at Fort Bliss, Texas, by drawing parallels to President Franklin Roosevelt’s internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. The ACLU labeled the move “another shameful chapter” in the base’s history, echoing long-standing concerns about the treatment of immigrants. Sarah Mehta from the ACLU’s Equality Division condemned the facility, stating, “Thousands of people, including our neighbors and loved ones, will be torn from their communities.” This mirrors the sentiment of many who worry that the current administration’s actions could lead to a repeat of past mistakes…
California’s redistricting landscape is about to see sharp changes as Governor Gavin Newsom and state Democrats propose a plan that would reshape the political makeup of congressional districts. Currently, Republicans control nine congressional seats in California, while Democrats dominate with 43. Under Newsom’s plan, Democrats stand to gain five additional seats, intensifying the partisan divide. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) frames this effort as a measure to protect California voters against what it describes as “a corrupt scheme occurring in Texas and other Republican-majority states.” They accuse Republicans of drawing voting maps that are racially motivated and designed to…

Kennedy Jr. sparked a wave of reactions, highlighting his unpredictable stance amidst Hollywood’s rigid political climate.

During the conversation, Pratt remarked, “It’s a great thing” for Kennedy to aim at improving the food supply for children—a point that seems to transcend party lines. His call for bipartisan support on this issue…
Recent revelations by forensic investigator Sam Antar suggest the political landscape in New York City may be less about grassroots activism and more about a concealed financial operation, termed “grassroots laundering.” In his detailed investigation, Antar sheds light on the rise of Zohran Mamdani, pointing to a network of tax-exempt charities and nonprofit organizations that allegedly manipulate taxpayer money and significant donations from wealthy benefactors for political gain. Antar’s analysis indicates that these nonprofits are not merely philanthropic endeavors. Instead, they form a political machine built on a four-step cycle that distorts campaign finance laws. This cycle begins with donations…
The situation in Venezuela is escalating, particularly with the arrival of U.S. Navy destroyers off its coast. The USS Gravely, along with two other Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, is part of a significant military operation aimed at dismantling drug cartel activities in the region.

President Donald Trump’s administration is taking a firm stance against Latin American drug cartels. He has declared these cartels to be global terrorist organizations, making combatting them a priority. “The gloves…

Federal authorities have faced serious allegations of deception regarding the Oklahoma City bombing case. Jesse Trentadue, a Utah attorney, asserts that his brother was erroneously identified as “John Doe #2” in relation to the bombing and subsequently died in custody due to federal mistreatment. For three decades, Trentadue has sought transparency through multiple Freedom of Information lawsuits. His persistence has resulted in the acquisition of over two million documents highlighting various inconsistencies in the official narrative surrounding the bombing.

The situation unfolding in Loudoun County, Virginia, reveals a troubling incident linked to school policies on gender identity. Two boys from Stone Bridge High School received suspensions simply for questioning why a girl was in their locker room. This striking action stems from a video captured by the girl, who identifies as male, which led to a Title IX investigation against the boys. Instead of addressing the boundary violation, the school targeted the students who raised legitimate concerns. The punishment for these boys is severe. A 10-day suspension looms over them, along with a no-contact order with the female student…

An alleged child molester, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, was allowed to avoid proper consequences after being arrested for attempting to lure minors online. Chattah’s frustration was echoed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who couldn’t believe that a state judge let Alexandrovich go with a mere $10,000 bail while permitting him to keep his passport.

Tropical storm conditions are set to affect North Carolina’s Outer Banks beginning Wednesday, with forecasts predicting significant coastal flooding. “Many of you may assume that with the offshore track of Hurricane Erin over the next several days, there will be little to no impacts to the East Coast of the United States,” said National Hurricane Center Deputy…
Despite the sharp criticism aimed at the current administration over tariffs and economic strategy, the reality remains that foreign investment in U.S. Treasury notes is soaring. As of June 2025, foreign holdings reached a record $9.13 trillion, marking an $80.2 billion increase from May’s figures. This remarkable growth shows a significant turnaround in global confidence in U.S. fiscal health. Critics have often highlighted the contentious trade relationships that have defined recent U.S. policy. Yet, those same nations targeted by tariffs continue to invest heavily in U.S. debt. Japan, the leading foreign holder, possessed $1.147 trillion in Treasury notes as of…
A recent development within the Department of Veterans Affairs has raised eyebrows concerning vaccine mandates, particularly the flu shot. As skepticism grows surrounding COVID-19 vaccinations, a whistleblower has stepped forward, revealing that many VA employees have long questioned the necessity of such vaccines, including the flu shot. Sonny Fleeman, who spoke with The Gateway Pundit, emphasized his personal views, separate from those of the government or VA. Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, he uncovered that in 2024, nearly 100,000 VA healthcare workers—about a quarter of the workforce—were granted exemptions from the flu vaccine mandate based on medical…
