A new report from The New York Post says billionaire investor and longtime Democratic donor George Soros has spent roughly $102.8 million so far in the current midterm election cycle, potentially making him the largest individual political donor to date. According to the Post’s analysis of Federal Election Commission data, only a small portion of that total — about $793,800 — was donated directly in Soros’ name. The bulk of the funding, more than $102 million, was routed through Democracy PAC, a super PAC Soros founded in 2020 that serves as the primary political vehicle for his family’s giving...
#2 Justices End Protected Status for Syrian, Haitian Immigrants, Define Asylum Border Status - Scott Bomboy for The National Constitution Center, Wall Street Apes, Secretary Markwayne Mullin/America First Insight, Karoline Leavitt, Gregory K Bovino/NEWSMAX, and Nick Sortor on X
In two major immigration rulings on Thursday, a divided Supreme Court allowed the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrian and Haitian immigrants. It also ruled that refugees from Mexico need to be within the United States’ physical border to make an asylum claim instead of an adjacent border location in Mexico. By various estimates, there are 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians living in the United States under the TPS program. The Court’s decision about Mexican asylum seekers could allow U. S. Customs and Border Protection to resume a metering policy that slows asylum admission during peak periods of immigration...#3 Florida Senate Dems Call Out Ashley Moody for Intervening in ‘Frivolous’ Texas Lawsuit on Trump’s Behalf - Mitch Perry for Spectrum News BN 9, Gina Beana Fofina/Mark Stratton, Joe Dan Gorman, JASON, and ColonelTowner-Watkins/Publius on X
Moody is one of 17 Republican attorneys general who are backing the case that was filed earlier this week in Texas. It’s calling on the Supreme Court to back the president in his latest legal campaign to reverse the results of the presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated Trump by more than seven million votes and 74 electoral votes. She tweeted out her statement, announcing she had filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on Wednesday in which she wrote that the integrity and resolution of the 2020 election was of “paramount importance.” Moody said the court needed to weigh in on so that Americans could be assured that the election was “fairly reviewed and decided.”#4 Thomas Massie Turns the Camera On Fox Reporter in Wild Confrontation: ‘Is This What You DO for a Living?!’ - Joe DePaolo for Mediaite, Thomas Massie, Blue Georgia, Republicans against Trump, and Brandon Straka on X
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) erupted on a reporter for Fox News Digital and turned the camera on him in a truly wild confrontation. In a bizarre on-the-street clash in Washington, reporter Nicholas A. Ballasy — on assignment for Fox News Digital — went up to Massie and asked him about various allegations from a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend. The woman, Cynthia West — a former Massie staffer — recently claimed that Massie pressured her to sign an NDA, and that he bragged about having a sexual encounter with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) just weeks after his wife’s death...

More than 1 million people enrolled in Obamacare plans lack Social Security Numbers, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz. Kennedy called that “a glaring warning sign for fraud” across the Obamacare program and faulted President Trump’s predecessors for not maintaining proper guardrails in social safety net programs. “The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails, while partisan lawfare blocked common sense efforts to protect taxpayers,” Kennedy grumbled in a video announcement with Oz on Saturday...

Hours after their ballot box victories in a handful of congressional primaries in New York City, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) set their sights west. "Today, the East Coast, next week the Mountain West," the DSA wrote in a social media post last week. The post came after DSA-aligned Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old far-left community organizer, ousted incumbent Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair, and state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, another socialist, won a congressional primary by beating an establishment-backed candidate...

An overwhelming majority of likely voters want powerful AI systems to undergo mandatory formal safety reviews before they are released to the public, according to a new survey about Americans’ views on AI, going further than the existing Trump administration policy of opt-in reviews for new advanced models. The poll, conducted by Washington, D.C.-based AI Policy Institute (AIPI), a non-partisan research organization, found that Republicans were more enthusiastic about government-led safety testing for AI models than Democrats, though more than half of voters supported such a measure regardless of their political affiliation...#9 Trump Nominates New ICE Director as Detainee Deaths in Custody Being Investigated - Graig Graziosi for Independent, Anne Phyllis Summers, OGM News, Newslooksteam, CBS Mornings, and M.A. Rothman on X

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to weigh in this week on President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship by executive order, a move which would upend more than a century of legal precedent and a national tradition that have said babies born on American soil are automatically American citizens. The ruling, one of the most highly anticipated of the year, is a major test of Trump's unprecedented assertion of presidential power in his second term, with major stakes for millions of children and their families...
