The US government has done some shady things in the past. But this is beyond the pale.

Now RFK Jr. exposed a disturbing cover-up of government organ harvesting.

HHS Under RFK Jr. Launches Sweeping Organ Procurement Reforms

On July 20, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced a comprehensive reform to address alarming findings in the organ procurement process, ensuring the sanctity of life is upheld.

An investigation by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) revealed that a federally funded organ procurement organization (OPO) in Kentucky, serving parts of Ohio and West Virginia, initiated organ harvesting on patients showing signs of life.

Kennedy, a staunch advocate for ethical medical practices, called the discovery “horrifying,” emphasizing the need to protect vulnerable patients.

The investigation, which reopened a case previously closed under the Biden administration, examined 351 incomplete organ donation cases, finding that 103 (29.3%) involved “concerning features,” including 73 patients with neurological signs incompatible with organ donation.

At least 28 patients may not have been deceased when procurement began, raising serious ethical and legal concerns. Kennedy’s leadership in exposing and addressing these violations underscores his commitment to restoring trust in the organ transplant system.

Investigation Uncovers Systemic Ethical Lapses

The HRSA’s probe, initiated at Kennedy’s direction, identified systemic issues in the OPO’s practices, including inadequate neurologic assessments, poor coordination with medical teams, questionable consent processes, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.

The HHS release described a “systemic disregard for [the] sanctity of life in [the] organ transplant system,” highlighting Kennedy’s focus on prioritizing patient rights and ethical standards.

The investigation stemmed from a case involving “potentially preventable harm” to a neurologically injured patient, which Kennedy insisted be reexamined to ensure accountability.

His proactive approach has led to mandated reforms, including system-wide safeguards to protect potential donors and specific corrective actions for the OPO.

Congressional and Public Focus on Restoring Trust

The HHS’s findings have prompted broader scrutiny, with the House of Representatives scheduling a subcommittee meeting on July 22, 2025, to address organ donation safety lapses and discuss improvements to rebuild public confidence.

Kennedy’s leadership has elevated the issue, aligning with his long-standing advocacy for medical ethics and accountability.

The reforms aim to strengthen oversight, improve consent practices, and ensure accurate medical assessments, addressing the 103 problematic cases identified, including the 28 where organ procurement may have begun prematurely.

Public and congressional attention reflects the gravity of the issue, with Kennedy’s influence pushing for a system that honors the sanctity of life while supporting the critical role of organ donation.

Obama has operated from the shadows for some time. But now he’s been thrust into the spotlight.

And Barack Obama broke his silence after horrifying allegations surfaced.

Obama Rejects Trump’s Russiagate Claims as “Bizarre”

On July 22, 2025, former President Barack Obama, through spokesman Patrick Rodenbush, dismissed President Donald Trump’s allegations that he orchestrated the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, known as Russiagate, as “bizarre” and a “weak attempt at distraction.”

Trump claimed Obama was the “ringleader” behind efforts to manufacture intelligence linking his 2016 campaign to Russia, calling for a criminal investigation. Rodenbush responded, “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.”

He cited a 2020 bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio, affirming Russia’s attempts to influence the 2016 election without manipulating votes.

Declassified Documents Fuel Debate Over 2016 Election Probes

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified documents alleging that Obama and senior officials, including James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, and Andrew McCabe, laid the groundwork for the Trump-Russia probe by politicizing intelligence.

Gabbard’s criminal referral to the Department of Justice, filed on July 21, 2025, claims these officials pushed a false narrative despite contradictory intelligence community findings.

Trump, in an Oval Office meeting, singled out Obama, stating, “It was President Obama. It was lots of people all over the place,” and linked the effort to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, which funded the discredited Steele dossier through Perkins Coie.

The dossier, dismissed as “internet rumor” by some intelligence officials, underpinned FISA warrants against Trump aide Carter Page.

Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation later found the FBI ignored warnings of Clinton-led manipulation, raising concerns about Obama-era oversight.

Investigations Highlight Ongoing Political Tensions

The controversy draws from 2016 CIA notes by John Brennan, obtained by Fox News in 2020, alleging a Clinton campaign advisor proposed “vilifying” Trump with Russian interference claims.

These notes, forwarded to FBI Director James Comey and agent Peter Strzok under the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, led to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, which found no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion by March 2019.

Current FBI Director Kash Patel has launched criminal investigations into Comey and Brennan, intensifying scrutiny of Obama-era actions.

Trump’s claims also implicate Clinton, whose campaign spent $12 million on the Steele dossier, a document later admitted to be largely fabricated.

The Left and the media are usually in cahoots. But time are changing.

And now a leading Leftist put the mainstream media on blast for this disgusting move.

Gisele Fetterman Criticizes Media Intrusion into Family Privacy

In a July 23, 2025, episode of Meghan McCain’s podcast “Citizen McCain,” Gisele Fetterman, wife of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), expressed frustration over the media’s invasive coverage of her family’s personal struggles.

She recounted an incident in 2023 when media trucks surrounded her home after her husband checked into Walter Reed Medical Center for depression treatment, shortly after his Senate swearing-in.

“My husband is a public figure, but I am a private citizen and journalists don’t seem to really care,” she told McCain.

“They knew John wasn’t there. They were looking for me, and I was in the car… they were surrounding literally the whole outside [of] my house.”

Gisele emphasized her status as a private citizen and her desire to shield her children from such scrutiny, though she acknowledged their right to read reports about their father.

Media’s Handling of Health Issues Draws Scrutiny

Gisele Fetterman’s remarks come in the context of intense media focus on Sen. John Fetterman’s health, which became a central issue during his 2022 Senate campaign following a stroke in May of that year.

After his election, coverage continued as he sought treatment for depression in 2023, with the senator openly discussing his cognitive and mental health challenges since.

In the podcast, McCain shared her own experience with media during her father Sen. John McCain’s battle with brain cancer, which he died from in 2018, describing it as “one of the worst times in my entire life.”

When asked if the media had learned to approach health issues with compassion, Gisele replied, “No. Definitely not,” arguing that outlets are “rewarded by clicks” and incentivized to produce intrusive stories.

Fetterman’s Political Stance and Media Narratives

Since taking office in 2023, Sen. Fetterman has faced media attention not only for his health but also for his political positions, including his support for Israel, immigration enforcement, and occasional defenses of President Donald Trump, which have drawn criticism from progressive Democrats.

Reports, such as a May 2025 New York Magazine article, have alleged erratic behavior and tensions between Fetterman and his wife over his Israel stance, which the senator dismissed as a “hit piece.”

Gisele, in the podcast, clarified she has no interest in political office and would not support her husband running for president.

Gisele’s interview, airing on 2WAY’s “Citizen McCain” at noon ET on July 23, reflects ongoing tensions between public figures’ families and a media landscape driven by attention-grabbing headlines.

Europe rarely pulls its weight on the military front. But now they’ve dropped some key intel.

Because a EU official just warned America of an impending attack.

EU Defense Commissioner Warns of 2027 Global Security Risks

On July 21, 2025, Andrius Kubilius, the European Union’s first-ever defense commissioner, warned that 2027 could mark a critical moment for global security, citing potential coordinated aggressive actions by Russia and China.

Speaking in Washington, Kubilius echoed U.S. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s top air operations commander, who highlighted the same year as a potential flashpoint. Kubilius stated, “The most dangerous moment can be in 2027, when both Russia and China will make these aggressive moves in a coordinated way.”

This aligns with concerns about Russia escalating in Ukraine or Eastern Europe and China potentially invading Taiwan, as noted by Grynkewich’s warning that the U.S. and its allies must prepare for simultaneous conflicts in Europe and the Indo-Pacific.

U.S. Strategic Pivot and Europe’s Defense Buildup

Kubilius acknowledged the U.S.’s strategic shift toward the Indo-Pacific to counter China’s accelerating military modernization, which aims for “world-class” capabilities by 2027, as outlined by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

He noted, “We are recognizing that you, Americans, have really the right and the reason in the longer-term perspective to start to shift more and more toward the Indo-Pacific.”

With over 80,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in Europe, the Pentagon is encouraging European allies to take greater responsibility for their defense, a move Kubilius said the EU is addressing through a $840 billion “Re-Arm Europe” initiative, including a €150 billion loan facility for member states.

The EU has reduced its reliance on U.S.-made weapons from 60% to 40% of imports, aiming to further boost domestic production.

NATO’s recent pledge to increase defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP reflects a unified commitment to strengthen the alliance, ensuring the U.S. and Europe can jointly counter global threats while maintaining America’s leadership on the world stage.

Support for Ukraine and Global Implications

Kubilius stressed the importance of sustained support for Ukraine against Russia’s ongoing invasion, warning that “China is watching” and could interpret Western weakness as an opportunity for aggression.

President Donald Trump recently announced that the U.S. would provide advanced weapons, such as Patriot air defense systems, to Ukraine, contingent on European allies covering the costs.

Western defense ministers met on July 21 to discuss financing mechanisms, underscoring the need for transatlantic cooperation.

The so-called “Davidson Window,” coined by former Indo-Pacific Command chief Adm. Philip Davidson in 2021, highlights 2027 as a potential year for Chinese action against Taiwan, adding urgency to these efforts.

The U.S.’s robust support for its allies, combined with Europe’s push to enhance its defense capabilities, aims to deter aggression from both Russia and China, reinforcing America’s role as a steadfast guardian of global security and democratic values.

Trump isn’t playing around anymore. And D.C. is taking it poorly.

Now the US Senate is in an uproar after Trump made a shocking demand.

Trump Calls for Senate to Stay and Confirm Nominees

On July 19, 2025, President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to reconsider the Senate’s planned August recess until more of his 136 pending civilian nominees are confirmed.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, “Hopefully the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed. We need them badly!!!”

The Senate is scheduled to adjourn after August 1 and return on September 2, leaving a month-long gap during which critical roles in agencies like labor, education, and agriculture, as well as judicial and ambassadorial positions, remain unfilled. As of July 21, 2025, the Senate has confirmed 96 civilian nominees, a faster pace than the 54 confirmed at this point in Trump’s first term and ahead of former President Joe Biden’s first-year totals, according to The Washington Post.

However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has required cloture votes for nearly all nominees, slowing the process. Senators face a choice between taking their scheduled break or staying to fulfill their constitutional role in confirming nominees, a decision that impacts the functioning of the federal government.

Appropriations Deadline Looms as Senate Faces Tight Schedule

The Senate’s workload extends beyond nominations, with the stopgap funding bill from March set to expire on September 30, 2025, raising the risk of a government shutdown if annual appropriations bills are not passed.

On July 22, Thune plans to introduce the first bill, covering military construction and the Department of Veterans Affairs, which requires 60 votes to end debate and necessitates bipartisan cooperation.

Thune noted on Fox News, “We are going to need to get appropriations done. That will require some cooperation from Democrats, and hopefully they will be willing to make sure that the government is funded.”

A continuing resolution to extend current funding levels may be needed if the recess depletes legislative time. Senators must weigh the importance of completing these bills to maintain government operations against the tradition of a summer recess, ensuring they prioritize the needs of the public.

Bipartisan Challenges Complicate Senate’s Work

The Senate’s ability to confirm nominees and pass appropriations bills hinges on navigating partisan divides.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) emphasized the need for bipartisanship, stating, “I think the most important thing for us to do is to continue to move the appropriations process as expeditiously as we can, to try and find bipartisan agreement.”

However, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) expressed frustration over a Republican-led rescissions package that cut funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid, saying, “They stabbed us in the back, and if they commit to us that they won’t do that again, then we might be able to write bills.”

Schumer faced criticism from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in March for supporting the continuing resolution, highlighting Democratic divisions.

Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought advocated for conservative priorities, noting, “There is no voter in the country that went to the polls and said, ‘I’m voting for a bipartisan appropriations process.’”

Tribalism is a hallmark of the Left. But sometimes it goes way too far.

Now a leading Congressional Democrat got betrayed by supporters for one idiotic mistake.

AOC Faces Backlash from Far-Left for Iron Dome Vote

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is under fire from her progressive allies, particularly the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), for voting against an amendment proposed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to block $500 million in U.S. funding for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.

The amendment, part of the $832 billion defense spending bill for fiscal year 2026, was overwhelmingly defeated in a 6-422 vote on July 17, 2025.

The DSA slammed Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of inconsistency in opposing what they call Israel’s “genocidal military” while failing to support a measure that could have restricted funding for its defensive capabilities.

Their statement over the weekend read, “An arms embargo means keeping all arms out of the hands of a genocidal military, no exceptions. This is why we oppose Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’[s] vote against an amendment that would have blocked $500 million in funding for the Israeli military’s Iron Dome program.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s Defense Falls Flat Amid Ideological Tensions

In response to the backlash, Ocasio-Cortez took to X on July 18, 2025, to clarify her vote:

“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue. I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end.”

The DSA, however, dismissed her explanation as “deeply disappointing and incongruous,” arguing that her acknowledgment of Israel’s alleged “genocide” should compel her to oppose all military aid, including defensive systems like Iron Dome.

They further claimed that U.S.-funded systems have “emboldened Israel to invade or bomb no less than five different countries in the past two years.”

Democrats Divided as Israel Policy Exposes Party Fault Lines

The controversy over Ocasio-Cortez’s vote is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of discord within the Democratic Party over Israel policy.

In 2021, Ocasio-Cortez faced similar criticism when she voted “present” on a standalone bill to fund Iron Dome, later admitting in an open letter that she “wept” over the “complete lack of care for the human beings” impacted by such decisions.

Her emotional response did little to quell progressive outrage, which resurfaced with her recent vote.

Meanwhile, the DSA praised Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Summer Lee (D-Pa.), and Al Green (D-Texas) for opposing the amendment, signaling their alignment with the far-left’s uncompromising stance.

The broader defense bill, separate from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed last week, but the lopsided defeat of Greene’s amendment reflects Congress’s strong bipartisan support for Israel’s defense.

The West should be a tight-knit community. But some people just want a free lunch.

Now a US ally admitted they’ve been stealing from Americans for years.

Strengthening American Leadership in Global Security

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in a BBC interview on July 18, 2025, acknowledged the United States’ call for Europe to bolster its defense contributions, admitting, “We know we have to do more on our own and we have been free-riders in the past. They’re asking us to do more and we are doing more.”

This shift, prompted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s push for NATO allies to take greater responsibility, underscores America’s pivotal role in driving global security standards.

Merz, who met Trump three times and speaks weekly, noted, “I think President Trump is on the same page; we are trying to bring this war to an end.”

The U.S. has leveraged its influence to secure Germany’s commitment to increased defense spending, exemplified by Merz’s constitutional amendment to fund a stronger military, aligning with America’s strategic vision to counter threats like Russia’s aggression in Ukraine while maintaining robust transatlantic alliances.

Enhancing U.S.-Led Defense and Economic Ties

The U.S. has catalyzed a new UK-Germany friendship treaty, signed during Merz’s visit to London, which strengthens defense collaboration and economic ties, including joint production of Typhoon Eurofighter jets and Boxer armored vehicles.

Merz announced plans for a missile with a 2,000km range, stating Ukraine would receive “substantial additional support in long-range fire,” reinforcing America’s leadership in coordinating NATO support for Ukraine.

The treaty also addresses irregular migration, with Germany agreeing to criminalize storing small boats for illegal Channel crossings, a response to a BBC investigation and aligned with U.S. priorities for secure borders.

These efforts complement Trump’s broader strategy, including a 30% tariff threat on EU exports from August 1, 2025, pushing allies like Germany to negotiate trade deals that benefit American workers and industries, as Merz acknowledged, “My observation is that the president himself is seeing the challenges and that he is willing to come to an agreement. He gets it.”

America’s Strategic Pivot and Global Influence

Merz’s observation that the U.S. is “moving away from Europe and turning to Asia” reflects America’s strategic recalibration under Trump, prioritizing global threats while urging allies to share defense burdens.

Despite Merz’s earlier claim that Trump was “largely indifferent to the fate of Europe,” U.S. Vice-President JD Vance’s blunt remarks at the Munich Security Conference, as noted by Canan Atilgan of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, spurred Germany to act decisively.

The U.S. has driven the formation of the E3 alliance (UK, Germany, France), fostering economic growth and security cooperation, while initiatives like a London-Berlin rail link and youth exchanges strengthen cultural ties.

With the U.S. federal deficit projected at $1.9 trillion for 2025 by the Congressional Budget Office, America’s insistence on fair burden-sharing ensures taxpayer funds are used efficiently, reinforcing its leadership in promoting global stability and prosperity through strategic partnerships.

Joe Biden’s administration was a train wreck. But the details are far worse.

Now Karine Jean-Pierre is forced to answer for this Biden cover-up

Congressional Probe Targets Biden Aides’ Actions

The House Oversight Committee has scheduled testimony from former Biden administration officials, including ex-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, to investigate allegations of a coverup regarding former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity.

Jean-Pierre, set to testify voluntarily on September 12, 2025, alongside former Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates (August 21) and former Special Assistant Ian Sams (September 5), faces scrutiny over their roles in defending Biden’s cognitive abilities.

Former Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, who managed the White House from February 2023 to January 2025, is slated for September 18.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is examining whether these aides concealed Biden’s mental decline and misused the presidential autopen for executive decisions, a probe amplified by President Donald Trump’s directive to the Justice Department to investigate potential concealment from the American public.

Questionable Defenses of Biden’s Capacity

Jean-Pierre, Bates, and Sams, all career Democratic operatives, repeatedly downplayed concerns about Biden’s mental sharpness, despite public incidents raising doubts.

Jean-Pierre, whose tenure as press secretary was widely criticized, dismissed videos of Biden’s stumbles as “cheap fakes” in June 2024, following his apparent freeze at a Hollywood fundraiser.

In June 2022, she claimed, “Oh, my gosh, he’s the President of the United States, you know, he – I can’t even keep up with him,” in a CNN interview with Don Lemon.

Bates defended Biden’s foreign policy acumen after a faltering NATO summit press conference in 2024, while Sams shielded Biden during the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry and dismissed Special Counsel Robert Hur’s February 2024 report on Biden’s memory lapses.

These defenses, now under scrutiny, raise questions about the Biden administration’s transparency, fueling skepticism about its handling of critical governance responsibilities.

Autopen Allegations and Broader Implications/

The investigation focuses on whether Biden’s aides used the presidential autopen to enact decisions without his full approval, particularly for pardons.

Biden insisted to the New York Times, “I made every single one of those. And — including the categories, when we set this up to begin with,” denying misuse.

However, emails obtained by the Times suggest Biden set pardon standards but did not approve each individual case, casting doubt on his claim:

“And so — but I understand why Trump would think that, because obviously, I guess, he doesn’t focus much. Anyway, so — yes, I made every decision.”

Key witnesses, including Biden’s physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor and Jill Biden’s aide Anthony Bernal, have invoked their Fifth Amendment rights, avoiding testimony.

The Left knows they can’t win with things as they are. Now they’re coming up with ideas.

And Democrats planned a Congressional takeover with this sly trick.

California Democrats’ Push to Redraw Districts

California Democrats are strategizing to redraw the state’s congressional districts, aiming to challenge the Republican Party’s narrow House majority, a move prompted by reports of Texas Republicans pursuing similar redistricting efforts.

Governor Gavin Newsom, reacting to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s directive to discuss redistricting in a special legislative session, remarked, “They’re playing by a different set of rules.”

On Wednesday, California’s Democratic congressional delegation met with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to explore ways to flip seats, according to Punchbowl News.

This aggressive push reflects a calculated effort by Democrats to manipulate electoral boundaries for political gain, potentially undermining the fairness established by California’s independent redistricting process.

Circumventing Voter-Approved Redistricting Rules

In 2010, California voters passed Proposition 20, transferring redistricting authority to an independent commission to ensure impartiality.

However, Democrats are now exploring two avenues to bypass this system, as reported by Punchbowl News.

Newsom outlined one option: calling a special legislative session to propose a voter referendum to “pause” or rescind the commission’s powers, requiring a costly special election to sway public opinion.

He suggested including a conservative-friendly measure, like voter ID requirements, to attract GOP voters.

The second approach involves redrawing districts and arguing that the state constitution does not explicitly prohibit mid-decade redistricting, a move Newsom called “a novel legal question” but one likely to trigger lawsuits.

These tactics echo past Democratic efforts, as ProPublica reported in 2011, when party operatives influenced the supposedly nonpartisan commission, raising concerns about their commitment to transparent electoral processes.

Targeting GOP Seats Amid Legal Hurdles

Democrats are reportedly targeting Republican-held districts, including those of Reps. Ken Calvert, Kevin Kiley, Darrell Issa, Young Kim, David Valadao, and Doug LaMalfa, with Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) stating, “We want our gavels back. That’s what this is about.”

However, the Voting Rights Act poses a significant obstacle, as it protects majority-Latino districts from changes that could dilute their representation.

California Assemblymember Leticia Castillo, a former Democrat turned Republican, criticized her former party, saying:

“The games they play aren’t working and the more people get educated on what’s going on, the more they’re going to fight back.”

The world stage is getting dangerous. Who knows how this will end.

Now Americans are freaking out after Russia threatened preemptive strike.

America’s Firm Stand Against Russian Aggression

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s call for “preemptive strikes” against the West, reported by Reuters via Tass, underscores the urgency of America’s robust response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Medvedev stated, “The statements of Western politicians on this topic are complete nonsense. We need to act accordingly. To respond in full. And if necessary, launch preemptive strikes.”

In contrast, President Donald Trump has taken decisive action, announcing on Monday a 100% secondary tariff on nations purchasing Russian oil unless Moscow agrees to a peace deal within 50 days.

This bold move, coupled with the U.S. facilitating Patriot missile deliveries to Ukraine via NATO allies, reflects America’s commitment to countering Russian aggression while prioritizing national interests, with Trump ensuring, “They’re already being shipped. They’re coming in from Germany and then replaced by Germany. And in all cases, the United States gets paid back in full.”

Strategic Deployment of U.S. Military Support

Trump’s announcement that Patriot missiles are en route to Germany for transfer to Ukraine highlights America’s proactive role in bolstering NATO’s support for Kyiv.

Although a German defense ministry spokesman told SRF, “I cannot confirm that anything is currently on the way. That is not known to me,” plans for a Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting on Monday aim to finalize delivery details.

The urgency of these shipments has impacted other nations, with Switzerland’s defense ministry noting a delay in its own Patriot battery deliveries, stating, “The United States Department of Defense has informed the (Swiss Defense Ministry) that it will reprioritize the delivery of Patriot systems to support Ukraine, focusing on ground-based air defense.”

America’s prioritization of Ukraine’s needs demonstrates its resolve to strengthen global security against Russian threats, even as Medvedev labeled NATO’s actions a “full-scale war,” claiming:

“What is happening today is a proxy war, but in essence it is a full-scale war (launches of Western missiles, satellite intelligence, etc.), sanctions packages, loud statements about the militarization of Europe.”

Balancing Diplomacy and Pressure

Despite Trump’s strong measures, including reports of discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about potential strikes on Moscow—dismissed by the White House as “out of context”—some allies have questioned the 50-day timeline.

Zelenskyy expressed concern to the New York Post, stating, “Fifty days, for us, is just – every day is scary. Putin has wasted President Trump’s time. I would very much like to see the United States, the Congress and the president put some pressure on this situation with sanctions and so the sooner, the faster it can be done, the better.”

He added, “We would certainly like to speed up this process. We, for our part, will work to provide more information [to Trump], more arguments for strong sanctions against Russia.” EU leaders also noted the prolonged diplomacy’s lack of battlefield results.

Cuomo is trying to fix his image. But he’s going down in flames.

Now Andrew Cuomo got dragged through the coals for making this creepy video.

Ill-Chosen Words Fuel Public Backlash

Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor who resigned in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations from over a dozen women, faced renewed criticism after a poorly worded comment about his struggling New York City mayoral campaign.

In a Wednesday interview with the Daily News, Cuomo, running as an independent in the Democratic primary, outlined his strategy, stating, “better use with social media, reaching out to more young people and touching more people.”

The phrase “touching more people” quickly drew sharp rebuke online, with critics highlighting its insensitivity given his past.

Critics Highlight Past Allegations

The backlash was led by Lindsey Boylan, a former aide who was the first to accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment, including unwanted kissing and inappropriate comments.

Boylan tweeted, “Don’t touch any more people,” adding, “We’ve all paid enough for your touching,” referencing the scandal that forced Cuomo’s resignation.

Social media users echoed her sentiments, with one stating, “We really don’t need him touching more people; that’s why he had to resign last time.”

Another user remarked, “In a sane society, Andrew Cuomo saying he’s going to ‘reach out to more young people and touch more people’ would be taken as a public safety emergency.”

A third simply advised, “Should probably avoid saying that Andrew.” These reactions reflect the lingering distrust surrounding Cuomo’s public image, complicating his mayoral bid.

Cuomo’s Team Defends Amid Ongoing Controversy

Cuomo’s spokesperson, Rich Azzopardi, responded to the criticism by attacking Boylan’s credibility, stating:

“She is not credible and it’s sad she continues to spread these false accusations.” The defense highlights the campaign’s effort to dismiss past allegations as it seeks to rebuild Cuomo’s political career.

However, the former governor’s choice of words has reignited scrutiny of his 2021 resignation, which followed a state attorney general’s report substantiating claims of harassment from multiple women.

With the mayoral race heating up, Cuomo’s remarks have drawn attention to his past rather than his platform, posing a significant hurdle as he attempts to reconnect with voters through social media and younger demographics.

Most Americans want illegal immigrants deported. But it comes at a cost.

Now a terrifying report exposed rampant violent attacks threatening ICE.

Surge in Assaults on ICE Officers

The Department of Homeland Security reported a staggering 830% increase in assaults against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from January 21 to July 14, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

In a Tuesday press release, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated:

“Brave ICE law enforcement are risking their lives every day to keep our communities safe from the worst of the worst criminals. ICE law enforcement are succeeding to remove terrorists, murderers, pedophiles and the most depraved among us from America’s communities, even as crazed rhetoric from gutter politicians are inspiring a massive increase in assaults against them. It is reprehensible that our officers are facing this threat while simply doing their jobs and enforcing the law.”

Political Rhetoric and Its Impact

The Trump administration has pointed to inflammatory statements from Democratic leaders as a catalyst for the increased violence against ICE officers.

On Monday, the president’s rapid response team highlighted remarks from figures like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who urged people to resist the administration “in the streets” and called for unmasking ICE agents despite known threats to their safety.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) described protesters obstructing ICE operations, sometimes violently, as “inspiring,” while labeling agents “deranged.”

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), recently charged with “forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers” in Newark, encouraged supporters to “shut down the city,” declaring, “we are at war.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) compared ICE agents to the “modern-day Gestapo,” and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) criticized agents for wearing masks to protect their identities, likening them to “some 1800s bank robber or some KGB officer in Russia.”

These statements have fueled hostility and endangered agents working to secure communities.

Support for ICE Amid Rising Threats

In response to the unprecedented attacks, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Border Czar Tom Homan have defended officers’ decisions to conceal their identities for safety, with Lyons stating, “Our agents face real threats to themselves and their families, and we support measures to protect them.”

ICE’s intensified operations, backed by significant funding from the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed on July 4, 2025, have led to the arrest of thousands, including those involved in serious crimes, as part of President Trump’s deportation agenda.

Despite these efforts, the agency faces mounting resistance, with a 700% increase in assaults reported earlier by DHS on X, aligning with the broader trend of escalating violence.
