Numerous reports in both the United States and abroad confirm that the damaging effects of the tyranny shrouding…#9 Haitian Nonprofit Files Criminal Charges Against Donald Trump, JD Vance Over Springfield Statements - News 5 Cleveland, Amuse on X

FCC Moves With ‘Unprecedented’ Speed to Approve Soros’ Capture of 200+ Radio Stations With Foreign Cash Just Before Election - Joseph Mackinnon for Blaze Media, Glenn Beck, Amuse, and Mike Lee on X
Soros Fund Management is poised to take over Audacy's radio stations nationwide ahead of the election. Leftist billionaire and Democratic mega-donor George Soros has been leaning on the Democrat-controlled Federal Communications Commission for months in hopes of fast-tracking his group's acquisition of over 200 radio stations in over 40 markets — including stations that run shows from Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Erick Erickson, Sean Hannity, and Dana Loesch. On Wednesday, the FCC reportedly adopted an order to approve the purchase, meaning that in a matter of days, Soros will likely take control of communications to over 165 million Americans with the help of unvetted foreign investors whom Democrats have spared from the FCC's customary national security review process...
#7 Biden's Executive Order May Be the New "Zuckerbucks" for 2024 Election - Wendi Strauch Mahoney for UncoverDC, James Bradley on X
With the March 2021 Executive Order 14019, the Biden administration has doggedly pursued initiatives that promote access to voting. Arguably, Biden's E.O. is a thinly veiled effort to promote progressive policies that consistently push against common sense practices like voter ID and voter roll maintenance. Democrats tend to believe those practices suppress voter access to elections. Those same groups lobby for the federalization of election laws and regularly exploit every possible loophole available to register voters and get them to the polls...#6 20 Attorneys General To Investigate Pediatrician Group For False Claims About Transing Children - Joy Pullmann for The Federalist, Roger Severino, and Jane Coleman on X
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) relied on leftist politics that contradict medical research to create its highly influential clinical recommendations for giving gender-confused children opposite-sex hormones and surgeries, say 20 state attorneys general in a letter released this morning. In so doing, the AGs say, the AAP may have violated state consumer protection laws that require accuracy in selling products and services. “[W]hen it comes to treating children diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the AAP has abandoned its commitment to sound medical judgment,” write the attorneys general plus the Senate president and House speaker of Arizona’s legislature to the current and incoming AAP presidents...
#5 RFK at Senate Event: Big Health ‘Makes Money When Americans Get Sick’ - Tristan Justice for The Federalist, The Vigilant Fox, and Children's Health Defense on X
A newfound vision for American health care presents the Republican Party with a ripe opportunity to drive change and bipartisanship in a divided era. Republicans have finally found their new answer to Obamacare. After the GOP failed to successfully replace Democrats’ signature 2010 health care reform during the Trump administration, a renaissance in nutrition has catalyzed a new political movement finding a home on the right. A Senate roundtable on Monday led by Sen. Ron Johnson was the latest evidence of that transformation within a party that has been damaged by its seeming lack of a presentable alternative to the Affordable Care Act...
#4 GOP Lawmakers Move to Hold Blinken in Contempt After He Skips Afghanistan Withdrawal Hearing - Jake Smith for The Daily Caller, Rep Brian Mast, Legend, and Rep Anna Paulina Luna on X
A House panel moved to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt after he skipped a Tuesday congressional hearing on the chaotic 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, despite being legally compelled to testify. Blinken was subpoenaed to testify about the Afghanistan withdrawal, which ended in the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers and thousands of Americans initially stranded in the country, before the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) on Tuesday, but decided not to attend, leading committee Republicans to vote to hold him in contempt of Congress, according to Axios...

David Rubenstein, the billionaire co-founder of the Carlyle Group, warned that the cost of servicing the federal government's massive debt amid growing budget deficits is pushing the U.S. toward financial trouble. During an appearance on FOX Business Network's "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on Tuesday, host Neil Cavuto said that the more than $35 trillion national debt and swelling budget deficits aren't an issue at the front of voters' minds and whether it's "like a grenade that you're taking the cap off."#2 US Treasury Sanctions a Chain of Ice Cream Shops and a Pharmacy Tied to the Sinaloa Cartel - Mariana Martínez Barba for AP News, JB, Owen Gregorian, CBS Mornings on X

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control — the U.S. agency that combats illicit funds and money laundering — said people previously cited for money laundering had set up a chain of ice cream and popsicle shops in the state of Sinaloa. The Sinaloa cartel often uses their earnings from international drug trafficking to establish businesses, pouring cash into everything from fraudulent timeshare operations to restaurants to launder money...
