BREAKING NYT:

The Trump admin just issued subpoenas to several journalists for The New York Times, after the outlet reported on security concerns involving Trump's Qatari-gifted Air Force One.

The subpoenas seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury on Wednesday. https://t.co/k7GRPjLSFf

Happy Fourth of July.

250 years and counting — because some codes could never be broken.

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we give thanks to those whose courage, sacrifice, and service helped bring our Nation this far — including the Navajo Code Talkers, whose language helped defend freedom for generations to come.

🔴 NAVAJO NATION B&F HEARING — DAY 7. Under oath today:

"The same lawyers who begged me NOT to sue ZenniHome now REPRESENT the Navajo Nation against me."
— Tamarah Begay, IDS+A architect
$24.9M. Zero homes built. 210 workers laid off.

"The Navajo Nation is perpetually paying outside counsel to manage the consequences of leadership failures it keeps electing."

Holland & Knight. Dickinson Wright. Billing the tribal treasury to defend the people who looted it.

July 21 primary: 34 days away.

[CJ Lee - CA & NM Attorney @voteforcalvin]

Kris Beecher — Navajo Nation Acting AG — came directly from Dickinson Wright PLLC.

Dickinson Wright is one of the firms that told Tamarah Begay NOT to sue ZenniHome.

The Navajo DOJ was on all those calls.

This is the 4th AG in under a year. Each one more loyal to the president.

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.

A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.

It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:

56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.

More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.

343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.

That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.

The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:

The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.

Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.

Now look at the individual leaderboard:

- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade

And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.

She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.

The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.

The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.

And the cruelest part is this:

A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.

But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.

They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.

The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

🇺🇸 Massie lost his primary tonight despite passing the most consequential accountability legislation in modern history.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act just hit 6 months: 24+ CEOs removed, an ambassador, a prime minister, a minister of culture.

He was winning voters under 45 by 30 points.

And he still lost.

Rep. Ro Khanna put it simply: Massie put his career on the line to pass the most popular bipartisan bill in a generation, and the Republican machine cut him anyway.

Anti-establishment politicians who actually deliver results are being purged from the same coalition that claims to fight the establishment.

For the second time today, Pope Leo has spoken out against Trump’s new Iran War:

“I'm deeply concerned, and we don't know how many days it will last, about the situation in the Middle East,” Pope Leo said.

“War again! We must be heralds of Jesus' peace, which God desires for everyone! We must pray much for peace, live in unity, and reject the temptation to harm others; violence is never the right choice.” https://t.co/UxTBMwq9UZ

“War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.” @Pontifex

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops files a SCOTUS amicus against Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship

They call Trump's order "immoral" and urge the justices to "protect God-given human dignity" by finding it unconstitutional 👀

A source close to Pope Leo XIV tells me the pontiff is expected to “condemn President Trump’s immoral and illegal strike against Iran and appeal for peace” during his Sunday Angelus.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

There has been no harsher critic to U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo XIV:

“War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading.  The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.

“Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself, or in the pursuit of the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God, with a more perfect form of justice among men and women.”

“Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion.

“This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.”

When visitors ask if America still shines for all...
We're that shining city on a hill—yet for Native nations, it's been a long fight to keep the flame alive. Leaders called us to our better angels (Lincoln), self-determination (Reagan's policy), sovereignty ("means that. It's sovereign" — Bush), justice & healing (Obama's Tribal Nations work), no promises broken.
Lights flicker, but tribal resilience burns bright. As your Southwest federal Indian law advocate, I stand with you to honor treaties, protect sovereignty, and summon those better angels for generations ahead.
Sovereign & strong. 🇺🇸🪶 #TribalSovereignty #IndianLaw #NativeResilience #BetterAngels

Moody’s recession map: half the country in crisis
Navajo Nation: “We’ll handle that on tribal time”
While states panic, we’re collecting $43.9B in tribal gaming, building solar projects, and operating under centuries of federal trust law that actually survived recessions.
The rest of the economy doesn’t dictate ours. That’s not a bug—it’s constitutional design.
