#10 Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American - Hafiz Rashid The New Republic, Jason Bassler, PNWGUERRILLA/James Li, Karly Kingsley, Vision4theBlind, Fight Back Podcast, and Gator Gar/Beardson on X

The Trump administration is collecting data on all Americans, and they are enlisting the data analysis company Palantir to do it. The New York Times reports that President Trump has enlisted the firm, founded by far-right billionaire Peter Thiel, to carry out his March executive order instructing government agencies to share data with each other. The order has increased fears that the government is putting together a database to wield surveillance powers over the American public...







 

#9 Conservative Karol Nawrocki Wins Poland’s Presidential Election - Vanessa Gera for AP News, I Meme Therefore I Am, Liz Churchill, Radioi Genoa, Visgrad 24, and Sachin Jose on X
Conservative Karol Nawrocki won Poland’s weekend presidential runoff election, according to the final vote count on Monday. Nawrocki won 50.89% of votes in a very tight race against liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, who received 49.11%.  The race had Poland on edge since a first round of voting two weeks earlier, revealing deep divisions in the country along the eastern flank of NATO and the European Union. An early exit poll released Sunday evening suggested Trzaskowski was headed to victory before updated polling began to reverse the picture a couple of hours later...






 
#8 Booker Slammed for Alleged ‘Nazi Salute’ to Cali Dems Just Months After Musk Was Dragged for Same Gesture - Emma Colton for Fox News, Libs of TikTok, Matt Van Swol, Spitfire, and Alec Lace on X

Conservatives are mocking Sen. Cory Booker for delivering an alleged "Nazi salute" to California Democrats, while quipping the New Jersey Democrat won't get the same scrutiny Elon Musk did when he raised his arm to MAGA supporters in January.  "NEW: Democrat Senator Cory Booker appears to do a ‘Nazi’ salute in front of a large crowd of Democrats. I’m looking forward to the wall-to-wall coverage from the ‘honest’ and totally not biased media," Trending Politics co-owner Collin Rugg posted to X, accompanied by footage of the gesture.  "If Elon Musk is a Nazi for doing this gesture…  Cory Booker is one, too. Sorry, I don’t make the rules," X user Angela Belcamino posted...






 

#7 Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” Holdout Sen. Rand Paul Says “The Math Doesn’t Really Add Up” -  Kaia Hubbard for CBS News, Funkytown, Joe Pags Pagliarulo, Trump Lie Tracker, Mike Lee, House Republicans, and Fox 5 San Diego on X

Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said Sunday that "the math doesn't really add up" on the cost of President Trump's "one big beautiful bill," while outlining his opposition as the legislation moves to the Senate this week. "I think they're asking for too much money," Paul said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." Paul is among a handful of Senate Republicans who have expressed opposition to the centerpiece legislation of Mr. Trump's second term agenda that addresses the president's tax, defense and energy priorities and which the House narrowly approved last month. The Kentucky Republican argued Sunday that with the legislation, "there's going to be a lot of extra money" going toward "padding the military budget" and additional border security when "the President has essentially stopped the border flow without new money and without any legislation."

#6 Independent Journalist Glenn Greenwald Falls Victim To Leak Of Sexually Explicit Video - Robert McGreevy for The Daily Caller, Robby Starbuck, Liz Wheeler, Candace Owens, Dinesh D'Souza, Matt Walsh/Glenn Greenwald, and Sulaiman Ahmed on X

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald accused “maliciously political” actors of criminally leaking a sexually explicit video of him early Friday morning. “Last night, videos were released online depicting behavior in my private life. Some were distorted and others were not. They were published without my knowledge or consent, and their publication was therefore criminal,” Greenwald wrote in a Friday statement. Greenwald indicated that he was close to finding out who leaked the video.  One widely circulated video depicts Greenwald, an openly gay man, dressed scantily in women’s clothing on his knees. A man speaking Portuguese verbally degrades him and then demands that Greenwald send him 10,000 Brazilian Real, equivalent to just over $2000. Greenwald complies, and the video shows him sending the money via PayPal...








 

#5 Trump Shares Unfounded Conspiracy Theory Claiming Biden Was ‘Executed’ in 2020 - Raquel Coronell Uribe for NBC News, CNBC TV 18, Vlad, Tami/Liz Crokin, The Asian Chronicle, and Iron Swords on X

President Donald Trump on Saturday night reposted a baseless claim on Truth Social that former President Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with clones or robots. The original post, made by an anonymous Truth Social user who often spreads outlandish claims, suggested that Biden was replaced with “clones, doubles” and “robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.” Trump published a link to the post to his nearly 10 million followers without adding any context or explanation. The original poster’s account has a little more than 5,000 followers. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday explaining why Trump shared the post and whether he believes Biden was executed in 2020...






#4 Bill Clinton Defends Joe Biden, Saying He’s ‘Never Seen’ Him in Decline - Lindsay Kornick for Fox News, Leading Report, Covie, johnny maga, and TMK on X

Former President Bill Clinton insisted in an interview airing Sunday that former President Joe Biden was "in good shape" and he "never" saw him in cognitive decline in office. While promoting his new book "The First Gentleman," Clinton was asked by "CBS Sunday Morning" anchor Tracy Smith to comment on allegations made in the book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" by Axios’ Alex Thompson and CNN’s Jake Tapper. Throughout "Original Sin," Thompson and Tapper wrote there were ongoing efforts by the Biden administration to cover up signs of mental and physical decline by shielding him from the public and misleading political allies...





 

#3 Miracle Balm or Cow Pie? What’s Behind the Beef Tallow Skincare Trend - Sarah Boden for NPR, Valerie Anne Smith, Gary Brecka, ten's twisted paradise/Sami Gold, Ameena Higgins, and Priscilla Freeman on X

Rubbing rendered animal fat into your skin might sound gross, but beef tallow has become a trendy skin care product that some claim can clear up acne, is great for dry skin, and even makes you look younger. Tallow is fat that has been slowly melted, strained, and then hardened into a waxy paste. Often used in cooking, historian Susan Stewart told NPR that all sorts of animal fats—— goat, swan, even lion—— have also been used as a cosmetics ingredient since antiquity. Now, in 2025, some people are embracing beef tallow as a "natural" skincare choice. On TikTok, hundreds of videos with millions of views discuss or promote tallow products. Brands like Good Ol' Days Tallow Co., Evil Goods!, Betr4you, and HolyCow appear again and again, from a raft of creators who earn commission for every jar of tallow they convince someone else to buy...






 

#2 Suspect in Antisemitic Terror Attack in Boulder Is an Illegal Alien Admitted Under Biden - Elizabeth Weibel for Breitbart, Deena, Kathleen Janoski, Itto-Ahh-sooo, CNBC Analysis, and Kay Clay on X
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have revealed that the suspect behind the Park Street Mall attack in Boulder, Colorado, is an illegal alien who entered the United States under the Biden administration. x News’s Bill Melugin revealed that “three senior” DHS sources said Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is “an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally,” and has overstayed his visa after entering the United States under the Biden administration...






 
#1 Trump Keeps Endorsing the Establishment He Vowed to Fight - Daniel Horowitz for Blaze Media, The Blaze, Patriot Proxy, Pajaban, Joseph Jernigan, and Zechman74 on X

Donald Trump’s endorsement of Karrin Taylor Robson in December marked one of the most baffling moves of his political career. Still riding the momentum of his victory, Trump pre-emptively backed a known RINO for Arizona governor, nearly 19 months ahead of the 2026 primary. The endorsement fit a troubling pattern: early-cycle support for anti-Trump Republicans who hadn’t lifted a finger for the movement, while stronger MAGA candidates waited in the wings. If Trump wants to deliver on his campaign promises, he needs to reassert deterrence against weak-kneed incumbents and withhold endorsements in open races until candidates prove themselves...
