#3 Elon Musk Labels the ADL a ‘Hate Group’ After Turning Point USA Is Named as an Extremist Group - Owen Scott for Independent, AF Post, Libs of TikTok, Shadow of Ezra, Nick Sortor, and Jason DeBolt on X
Elon Musk has branded the Anti-Defamation League, a legal group founded to combat antisemitism, as a “hate group.” The tech billionaire made the comments on his social media platform X, while also railing against the ADL’s classification of Turning Point USA as extremist. The ADL was founded in 1913 and, according to its website, aims to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” The group is well-known for opposing pro-Nazi groups during the 1930s and for campaigning for civil rights legislation in the 1960s. However, on X, Elon Musk claimed that the “ADL hates Christians, therefore it is a hate group.”

Ahead of a meeting between lawmakers and President Donald Trump, the Republican leaders of Congress sought on Sunday to blame Democrats for an impasse prior to a looming deadline to pass legislation to avert a government shutdown and urged them to agree to a short-term bill to buy some time. Without passage of funding legislation, parts of the government would close on Wednesday, the first day...#5 Trump Holds Crucial Talks With Netanyahu to Push Deal to End Gaza War - Chantal Da Silva for NBC News, Blueprint Newspapers, War Bolt, Times Politicas, and Middle East Bulletin on X
President Donald Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday to try and turn rising hopes into a deal to end Israel's offensive in Gaza and free hostages still held in the devastated Palestinian enclave. Trump sounded optimistic in an exclusive interview with NBC News on Sunday ahead of the crucial talks. "We’re doing very well. It looks like there is a really good chance for peace in the Middle East," Trump said. "Everybody is on board. Everybody.” Netanyahu's tete-a-tete with Trump comes as Israel faces mounting global isolation and outrage, with a host of Western powers embracing Palestinian statehood in defiance of the U.S. and its close ally, while Israeli forces push ahead with a deadly assault on famine-stricken Gaza City...

Score another victory for President Donald Trump in the high-stakes political battle between Republicans and Democrats over congressional redistricting. GOP Gov. Mike Kehoe of Missouri on Sunday signed into law a new congressional map, Missouri First, that is likely to hand Republicans an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of next year's midterm elections. Missouri, once considered a swing state that has dramatically shifted to the right over the past decade and a half, is the latest battleground in the congressional redistricting showdown after the passage of new maps in GOP-dominated Texas and a redistricting push by Democrats in heavily blue California...
#7 Trump Endorses CBD for Senior Healthcare; Pot Stocks Surge - Roxana Gonzalez for Newmax, Antoinette Lee, MBA/Juanita Broaddrick, Luke Kawa, Recon John, Wall Street News, and John Gekko on X

Trump's Truth Social post on Sunday said cannabidiol (CBD) could "revolutionize senior healthcare" by helping reduce disease progression and was shown as an alternative to prescription drugs. In early August, Trump had said his administration was looking to reclassify the drug, which could also result in potentially easing criminal penalties around the use of marijuana...
#8 Infant Hepatitis B Vaccine: Medicine’s Silent Scandal - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, UncoverDC, CLIF HIGh, Kristen Nelson, The Baltimore Sun, and Vigilant Fox on X
The Hepatitis B vaccine has been presented to the public as an unquestionable good—a shield against disease, an emblem of public health progress. Yet beneath this official narrative lies a tale not of triumph, but of coercion, negligence, and betrayal. For decades, newborn infants—hours old, with no capacity for exposure—have been subjected to a medical intervention designed for high-risk adults. The record reveals a chilling truth: the Hepatitis B vaccine is not a story of science serving humanity, but of humanity—infants beginning life—sacrificed for policy, profit, and control. Indeed, human suffering hidden beneath the facade of “public health.”#9 Masked Federal Agents Patrol Downtown Chicago - Max Rego for The Hill, Nick Sortor, Lucas Sanders, Eric Daugherty, and MAGA Voice on X

The Trump administration called 200 members of the Oregon National Guard into federal service on Sunday for a 60-day deployment, according to a memo sent to Gov. Tina Kotek sent Sunday from the Department of Defense. Hours later, that order was met with resistance from Oregon’s top officials and the city of Portland in the form of a federal lawsuit arguing the administration had overreached and acted unlawfully. In addition to the lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s use of the Title 10 designation to federalize the state’s National Guard, the local leaders said they would follow up with a temporary restraining order this week to ask a federal judge to block the deployment...
