🚨 BOMBSHELL! The Trump administration's massive trafficking narrative just collapsed on live TV.

After hyping 81,000 suspicious addresses, Acting AG Todd Blanche admits he has no numbers and confesses many are completely fine. Washington is manufacturing fake crises!

We shouldn't be sacrificing our cherished public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.

1/ Last month I told a room of Baltic intelligence officers and diplomats that Donald Trump is an asset of Russian intelligence. Not one of them blinked. "Of course," they said. Ho hum. But in America, saying it out loud is still taboo. Why? 🧵

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Democrats Just Escalated Their Epstein Allegations To The Highest Levels Of The White House.

Rep. Robert Garcia now says Vice President J.D. Vance was directly involved in strategy discussions surrounding the Epstein files.

According to Garcia, Vance wasn't just informed.

He was helping direct the response.

First came questions about the files.

Then came reports of Situation Room meetings.

Now comes an allegation that the Vice President himself played a central role.

New in PN: The murder of expertise

"The Trump administration has spent the last 18 months gutting funding for scientific research, forcing out nonpartisan experts, and elevating the most alarming conspiracy theorists in their stead. Now, a new rule proposed by the regime is threatening science itself." https://t.co/m238RdfIy4

HEY MAGA! 🤣

I’ve been saying this from jump. The Reflecting Pool was going to end up looking like a green swamp, not blue. I just didn’t expect it to happen this fast.

One day after it was filled, there’s already a ton of algae.

And let’s be clear: this dude vacuuming the bottom is only part of the process. Without filtration and chemical treatment, the algae is here to stay.

NEW: A federal appeals court has fast-tracked Democrats’ bid to block Trump’s executive order targeting mail voting after a lower court left it in place last month.

The move is a hopeful sign for voters seeking to stop the administration from upending mail-in voting before the midterms. https://t.co/Y4obxeUMMl

Mark this moment.

This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out.

A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party.

He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

With all the corruption flooding out of this administration, you may have missed this one.

The Trump DOJ just killed a criminal investigation into the coal empire owned by Senator Jim Justice, a Republican and one of Trump’s closest allies.

Prosecutors and EPA investigators were probing whether his family’s mining companies criminally violated the Clean Water Act after racking up tens of thousands of alleged pollution violations over the past decade. The arsenic and other dangerous chemicals coal mines leach into our water are exactly what these laws exist to stop.

Career prosecutors believed they had a strong case.

They had begun gathering evidence and issuing subpoenas. Then the Deputy Attorney General’s office, run at the time by Todd Blanche, told them “pencils down.” A former prosecutor of 24 years said he had never heard of a criminal probe being shut down like this. There should be no untouchables list.

This is the pattern, plain as day.

Go after the President’s enemies, protect his friends. And now Trump wants to make Blanche his permanent Attorney General.

The man who shut this down should not be running the Justice Department. For this and so many other reasons, Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in.

When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from.

He told them he born in Laredo, Texas.

But that was not good enough.

The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?”

He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again.

The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it.

Being on a bike isn’t a crime.

You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not.

So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal.

And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses.

If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.

Six weeks ago I told you they were coming for Big Bend. Yesterday a court cleared the way for border wall construction in the Big Bend National Park region.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

Big Bend National Park is one of the quietest stretches of the entire southern border. In FY2025, the Big Bend sector recorded just 3,096 apprehensions — 1.3% of all crossings nationwide. Border encounters there have dropped 74% since 2023. The land is remote, rugged, and brutal. It has always been its own deterrent.

And yet — a 30-foot steel wall is coming anyway.

What that wall will actually do: fragment critical habitat for black bears, mountain lions, and the endangered black-capped vireo. Sever one of the last wildlife corridors connecting the U.S. and Mexican Chihuahuan Desert — an ecosystem that doesn't recognize borders.

Block the natural movement of over 450 bird species that pass through Big Bend. Flood one of the darkest night skies in North America with construction lights. Slice through 100+ miles of the Wild and Scenic Rio Grande.

To stop 1.3% of border crossings. On land that was already stopping them on its own.

The administration has now waived the Endangered Species Act, the National Park Service Organic Act, and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act — all at once — to make this happen. The first time in U.S. history any of that has been done inside a national park.

They awarded $4.3 billion in contracts. Steel bollards are already on the ground near Van Horn. Construction starts this summer.

Who do YOU think this wall is actually for?

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" included a $6,000 enhanced tax deduction for seniors. Republicans sold it as a gift — a little something extra for people who earned it.
On June 10, 2026, the Social Security Trustees released their annual report, and the receipt finally came due.
When the fund empties, the law triggers an automatic 22% cut to every check — roughly $500 a month for the average beneficiary, hitting 70 million Americans.
Speaker Mike Johnson, two days before this report dropped, called Social Security an "entitlement" that needs to be "adjusted."
They called it a gift, but in reality it's a robbery.
