The FBI and other intelligence agencies revealed Wednesday that Iran attempted to share information stolen during its hack on the Trump campaign with the Biden campaign and continues to send material to various media outlets. “Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,” the agency wrote in a joint statement alongside the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)...
#9 Federal Reserve Lowers Interest Rates by 0.50 Percentage Points in First Cut Since 2020 - Aimee Picchi for CBS News, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Collin Rugg on X
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday said it is cutting its benchmark interest rate by 0.50 percentage points, marking the first reduction in four years and moving to ease borrowing costs as inflation-weary consumers are grappling with high rates on everything from mortgages to credit cards. The Fed said the cut lowers the federal funds rate into a range of 4.75% to 5%, down from its prior range of 5.25% to 5.5%, which had been its highest level in 23 years. The half-point move signals that the Fed is acting aggressively to keep the U.S. economy from stalling, given that historically most rate cuts are 0.25 percentage points. Prior to the decision, some economists had urged the Fed to make a bolder reduction, given signs of weakness in the labor market and a cooling economy...
#8 DOJ’s New Voter-Roll Guidance Quietly Issued; Critic Warns It May ‘Intimidate’ Election Workers - Jamie Joseph for Fox News, Tom Fitton, and Insurrection Barbie on X
The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly published new guidelines addressing limits on when and how jurisdictions may remove voters from their voter rolls last week, a move to "intimidate" state and local election officials, says former DOJ attorney Gene Hamilton. "This is what I perceive as an attempt by the Department of Justice and Civil Rights Division to intimidate state and local jurisdictions and state and local election officials from doing their jobs," Hamilton told Fox News Digital. The DOJ issued a new guidance document on Sept. 9 to remind states ahead of the election that "voting rolls must be accomplished in compliance with federal law and in a nondiscriminatory manner."
#7 Republicans Fight for Citizenship Bill That Would Reshape Elections - Ashley Oliver for The Washington Examiner, ModerateRepandDem, Rep Lauren Boebert, Rep Chip Roy Press Office, and aka on X
One of Republicans’ top priorities in Congress is preventing noncitizen participation in elections, a problem that Democrats argue is nonexistent. With the 2024 election quickly approaching, Republicans say it is a growing worry among their constituents and that a federal crackdown is the best way to eliminate their concerns. The solution, according to Republicans, is to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, Act, a national proof of citizenship bill that Democrats largely oppose. The legislation is dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled Senate, but House Republican leaders have made it their sole condition of passing a temporary funding bill to prevent a government shutdown. As that fight plays out in Congress this week, some legal and policy experts have also championed the SAVE Act, saying it would have real-world consequences to better secure elections...#6 ‘Surrender Caucus’: 14 Republicans Join Forces With Dems To Torpedo Mike Johnson’s Revived Spending Bill - Rebeka Zeljko for The Daily Caller, K.

#5 A 2020 Case Before D.C. Lawfare Judge Could Block RNC From Election Challenges - Breccan F. Thies for The Federalist, Cara TXZEAL on X
eft-wing forces in Washington, D.C., are attempting to revive a 2020 lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, his campaign, and the Republican National Committee to tip the scales of the election in favor of Democrats. If the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization (MWRO) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) have their way, Trump and the RNC would be barred from “engaging in any activities related to recounts, certifications, or similar post-election activities” without receiving prior approval from the D.C. District Court to do so...

#2 Democrats Block Common Sense: Over 150 Democrats Vote Against Deporting Criminal Illegal Immigrants Convicted of Sexual Offenses - Jim Hᴏft for The Gateway Pundit, Ultra Maga DLP, and Congressman Nathanial Moran on X
More than 150 House Democrats voted against a bill that would have deported illegal immigrants convicted of sexual offenses or conspiracy to commit such crimes. With a vote tally of 266 to 158, the bill Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act saw every present Republican in favor, alongside 51 courageous Democrats who showed some sanity by crossing party lines to vote in favor of the bill. The rest chose to prioritize their radical pro-immigration stance over protecting women and children from violent offenders. The bill, H.R. 7909, which is sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace, seeks to make illegal aliens who have committed heinous acts, such as domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, and sexual offenses, inadmissible and deportable from the United States...
#1 FDA Approves Mpox Vaccine, Warns It May Cause Death in the Vaccinated and the People They Come in Contact With - Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D. for Vigilant News, Sonia Elijah, Camus, Futurist, and Robin Monotti on X
A vaccine approved in August by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people deemed to be at “high risk” for mpox infection may cause more harm than good, according to the FDA’s own medication guide for the product. ACAM2000 — made by Emergent BioSolutions, a company specializing in vaccines for biochemical warfare threats such as anthrax and smallpox — was approved for smallpox in 2007. However, on Aug. 29, the FDA issued an expanded supplement approval for ACAM2000’s use against mpox. Since then, social media users have been posting clips of the FDA’s ACAM2000 medication guide, which warns the vaccine may cause “serious complications” in both the vaccinated person and those with whom they come into close contact up to 6 weeks after getting the shot...
