Federal Appeals Court Hands Victory to Trump in Mail-In Voting Battle– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump secured a temporary legal victory in his effort to strengthen oversight of mail-in voting after a federal appeals court paused a ruling that had blocked a proposed U.S. Postal Service election rule.

A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Postal Service may continue moving forward with the Trump-backed proposal while litigation proceeds.

The proposed rule would require states to provide the Postal Service with approved absentee voter lists before mail-in ballots are delivered.

However, the administration cannot yet implement the policy because a separate federal judge in Massachusetts issued an injunction last month blocking the rule, and that order remains in effect.

A planned joint US-Canada ceremony on Friday celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is no longer expected to take place after Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods.

In announcing the tariffs, the president accused Canada of unfairly discriminating against US automobiles, alcohol and dairy products, escalating tensions with one of the United States’ closest allies.

“In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries,” said Jenna Ghassabeh, a spokesperson for Canada’s infrastructure minister, Gregor Robertson, in an emailed statement.

The dean of Hillsdale College’s Van Andel Graduate School of Government testified before the House Oversight Committee July 21 about the Smithsonian’s leftist bias. Matthew Spalding spoke to the committee about the importance of preserving accurate history in the hearing titled “Rewriting American History: Examining The Smithsonian’s Efforts To Reshape The Past.”

Calling the National Museum of American History (NMAH) one of the country’s “greatest treasures,” Spalding criticized the people in charge of the museum for pushing a leftist agenda in testimony titled “Who Killed America’s Story”?

“The National Museum of American History is no longer the nation’s museum of American history,” Spalding said.

Spalding referenced the White House’s “Saving America’s Story” report, which detailed the ideological capture of the Smithsonian Institution in more than 150 pages. The report contains photographic proof describing NMAH’s failure to present an accurate version of American history to attendees.

Biden could not remember when he was vice president, under President Barack Obama, nor was he clear on when his son Beau Biden died from cancer.

The Heritage Foundation has sought the release of recordings from 2016-17 between Joe Biden and his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. The recordings are redacted. The existence of those files came to light after prosecutor Robert Hur interviewed then-President Joe Biden over classified documents in 2023.

A federal appeals court just removed the last hurdle to the Heritage Foundation’s effort. Biden tried to block the Department of Justice from releasing the tapes but on Monday night, that appeal was denied in a 2-1 decision. “We conclude that Biden has not shown a likelihood that the requested materials must be withheld from disclosure,” said the appeals court.

Hur’s reports on the conversations with Zwonitzer revealed that Biden could not remember when he was vice president, under President Barack Obama, nor was he clear on when his son Beau Biden died from cancer.

An OpenAI autonomous agent went rogue and hacked into another artificial intelligence (AI) startup’s infrastructure, the ChatGPT maker said in a blog post.

The agent, which was powered by some of OpenAI’s most advanced models, ran amok during a security test. It freed itself from confinement—a protocol AI labs use to insulate tests from the wider Internet—and get onto the internet. Once online, the agent tried to hack into Hugging Face, an AI startup that hosts open-source models and datasets.

“I think this is interesting as it shows the problem of mis-specified goals,” says Philip Torr, a professor of engineering science and AI safety expert at the University of Oxford. “The model wasn’t malicious it was just doing what it was optimized to do.”

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.

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.

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

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.

EXCERPT:

(LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges for a self-described, “100% woke” social justice activist it says is responsible for a series of hoax hate crimes and bomb threats at San Jose State University (SJSU).

According to the DOJ, since October 2024, SJSU campus police have documented more than 20 “hateful and threatening messages” left in campus restrooms, many of which detailing violent attacks supposedly to happen on specific dates.

Two such messages, discovered in November 2025, declared, “!WARNING! MASS BOMB NEXT WEEK” on a paper with drawings of swastikas and declarations such as “THIS IS A WHITE NATION” and “MAGA 2028,” indicating an intention to be perceived as the work of a Donald Trump supporter. Another message accompanying it declared, “Kill all Jews, Muslims, Chinks, and Mexicans.”

The message was found to bear the fingerprints of 30-year-old Ziheng “Tony” Fang, a SJSU grad student pursuing a master’s in data science. The College Fix reported that, rather than being MAGA, Fang identifies himself on various social media accounts as “100% woke,” a “social justice activist.” According to federal prosecutors, he “also includes a rainbow flag in his profile on Threads” and “has posted and/or shared content expressing anti-ICE, pro-immigration, anti-MAGA, and pro-Palestine views.”

Fang is being charged “with a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1038(a)(1) – False Information and Hoaxes,” which is punishable by fines and/or up to five years in jail, unless serious bodily injury results, in which case a violator would face up to 20 years. No such injury is alleged in this case; students and staff were notified of individual threats, and professors decided whether to cancel classes or hold them virtually on a case-by-case basis.

Joshua Kerry, a 28-year-old man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, appeared Tuesday in Westminster Magistrates’ Court charged with the murder of longtime pro-life advocate Ann Widdecombe.

Kerry faces one count of murder in connection with the death of the 78-year-old former pro-life Conservative MP and Reform UK spokeswoman. Her body was discovered at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, on July 9.

Police believe the attack occurred around 12:30 p.m. the previous day.

Widdecombe, a devout Catholic, spent more than 40 years as a champion of the pro-life cause. She was elected to Parliament in 1987 and served in ministerial roles, including at the Home Office. She later represented the Brexit Party in the European Parliament before becoming a prominent voice for Reform UK.

Throughout her career, she consistently voted for greater protections for unborn children, opposed the legalization of assisted suicide, and argued against measures that would erode abortion limits, citing medical advances that allow earlier viability.

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.

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.

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.

The James Talarico campaign is not going well at all. He desperately wants to be the next Senator from Texas, but he’s got Jasmine Crockett supporters yelling at him at campaign stops now, and every day Talarico is changing his positions to better appeal to Texas voters.

Now, in an interview with Just the News, Texas State Rep. Steve Toth is describing how Talarico once mocked him for having childhood dyslexia. Talarico’s despicable attack came when State Rep. Toth introduced the Beckley Wilson Act (TX HB3928). That legislation improves how public schools evaluate and teach students with dyslexia, and it’s named for then-12-year-old Beckley Wilson, who testified to the Texas House Public Education Committee about her struggles in Texas Public Schools as a student with dyslexia.

The Beckley Wilson Act was signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in 2023.

In his interview, Toth described Talarico’s arrival to the Texas House and his behavior.

“This is a guy that came into the House in 2019 and he was one of the most caustic—we’re going to show video of him of who he was when he first came in. He was not this congenial, nice, sweet, kind boy-next-door. He was this caustic, angry little man that came in that decided in 2025, when he came back into the Texas House, that he was going to run for the Senate,” Toth said.

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.”
