U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned his position Friday amid pressure from Trump administration officials to bring a criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James. Siebert, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, informed employees at his office in Alexandria of his decision to resign in an email that was obtained by ABC News. "For the last eight months, I have had the pleasure of leading the finest and most exceptional of DOJ employees, who care deeply about our nation and our EDVA community," Siebert wrote. "Thank you for the lessons you have taught me, the sacrifices you have made, and the pursuit of justice you strive for every day."
#2 Cracker Barrel Ends Contract with Prophet After Rebrand Backlash - Greg Wehner for FOXBusiness, Erik Daugherty, Steak 'n Shake, Election Wizard, The Rabbit Hole, and Adam stern on X
The chain faced intense backlash after unveiling a new logo and redesigned stores that longtime fans said stripped away what they loved most about the brand. Cracker Barrel’s restaurants, long known for their kitschy Americana decor, were recast in a style critics called drab and soulless. The uproar grew after the company dropped its iconic logo of an elderly man leaning on a barrel. A March press release said Prophet was hired to redesign Cracker Barrel restaurants and lead a new brand marketing campaign...
#3 Gov. Newsom Threatens to Withhold Billions From California Colleges That Sign Trump’s ‘Compact' - Ashley Zavala for KCRA 3, Woodrow Williams, Deen, and No Lie with Brian Tylor Cohen on X
Gov. Gavin Newsom is threatening to withhold billions in state funds from any California college that signs onto an agreement crafted by President Donald Trump's administration requiring schools to agree to support the President's education agenda in order to have access to federal dollars. The 10-page "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" requires universities to adhere to rules written by the administration in a variety of areas, including admissions, hiring, free speech on campus, teaching and the use of endowments... Federal officials have approved another generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, a regulatory formality that quickly triggered pushback from anti-abortion groups and politicians aligned with the Trump administration. Drugmaker Evita Solutions announced on its website that the Food and Drug Administration signed off on its low-cost form of the pill, which is approved to end pregnancies through 10 weeks. Students for Life Action, which opposes abortion, in a statement Thursday called the approval "a stain on the Trump presidency and another sign that the deep state at the FDA must go." Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri also criticized the move in a post on X, stating, "I have lost confidence in the leadership at FDA." Sarah Mullally has been named as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. She's the first woman ever chosen to lead the world's 85 million Anglicans. Her appointment was announced Friday by the Church of England and the U.K. government. She was elected by the College of Canons of Canterbury Cathedral, and approved by King Charles III. Mullally, 63, is a former nurse and until today, was the Bishop of London. She's the fourth woman to be ordained in the Church's history. She also sits in the House of Lords, the upper house of the United Kingdom's parliament. In 1999, she became the youngest person to be appointed as chief nursing officer for England. Harvard University has reportedly hired a drag queen named LaWhore Vagistan as a visiting professor, who will teach a course in the coming spring semester. Kareem Khubchandani, perhaps better known by his stage name, LaWhore Vagistan, will teach a course on the TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race, beginning in early 2026, according to a July message sent from Harvard to the college community, obtained by the New York Post. The university further revealed that Khubchandani, a visiting professor from Tufts University — where he taught theater, dance, and performance studies — will teach in the Studies of Gender and Sexuality program thanks to the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus... As we mentioned earlier, Democrats voted for a full-blown government shutdown, which has inadvertently given the Trump administration the greatest gift ever: the ability to revive DOGE-style efforts to cut waste and fraud."I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity," Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier. He continued, "They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT." It’s time to face the music. Fallen music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs could be locked up for more than a decade as he faces sentencing Friday. Combs, 55, will learn his fate during a 10 a.m. hearing in the same Manhattan federal courtroom where jurors found him guilty of prostitution charges after a salacious sex crimes trial. Federal prosecutors have urged Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence the “unrepentant” Combs to more than 11 years, while the Bad Boy Records’ lawyers argue he should be released with 14 months time served...
The arrest of Sortor is likely to anger Trump’s supporters and exacerbate tensions in Portland, which has become a focus of the administration’s fight against what it describes as political extremism following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah on September 10. President Donald Trump has highlighted the importance of security and the need for law and order during his second administration, initiating the largest mass deportation operation in the United States' history, and deploying National Guard troops to the Democrat-run cities of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis and Portland, to assist in various law enforcement and immigration efforts. Raids by ICE officers have triggered protests in several cities, including Portland...

#5 Control Over Care: The Real Agenda Behind Bill Gates’s Work in Africa - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, ZAYVEN KNOX, Bloomberg, propaganda_is_king, Sense Receptor, and Commentary Tom Homan/Elizabeth Richard on X
Despite his billions, Bill Gates’ swaggering around the planet as if it were his petri dish—experimenting with health, agriculture, and global systems—has done far more damage than good. Instead of healing, his billions are often used to prop up systems of dependency on his entities, corporate control, and ecological collapse. Without a doubt, beneath his philanthropic façade lies a deeper reality. His self-serving vision is designed to destroy nations, communities, and ecosystems. In Africa, Gates longs to cast himself as a savior, pouring billions into agricultural “solutions.” However, his firm grip is choking small farmers, eroding autonomy, and feeding the narrative of the deep state...
