Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) needs to get to work on passing the rest of President Trump’s agenda with fewer than 100 days to go before the midterm elections, a key member of the GOP’s rank-and-file warned Sunday. “Look, I mean no disrespect. I love John Thune. He’s my leader. He’s got a big brain. He’s better looking than me, but I think he’s just being too cautious,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” adding that the majority leader “wants to spend the rest of our time talking with [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer about shutting down government, and the Graham Platner wing of the [Democratic] party is, his party, is not going to let Schumer agree with us...

Dr. Anthony Fauci became increasingly fixated on his newfound fame as pandemic deaths soared, reveal the former White House COVID adviser’s newly released diary entries. As early as April 2020, when more than 60,000 people had already died of COVID in the United States, the man in charge of America’s response to the pandemic was obsessing about his recent stardom, according to journals released by Kentucky Republican Sen. and long-term Fauci critic Rand Paul. “Press still hot and heavy about me. Multiple stories per day directly or indirectly involving me,” Fauci wrote in an entry dated April 7, 2020, amid intensifying media coverage around the White House Coronavirus Task Force...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's remarks about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew criticism over the weekend from an unlikely source: Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma, who mocked the democratic socialist as a "mayor playing president." Responding to the mayor's video on X, the nine-year NBA veteran suggested Mamdani was more concerned with appearances than governing, labeling the mayor's talking points as performative. "This is 2026. People cosplaying as things they don’t have the authority, the talent, or the track record to actually be. Just for content," Kuzma wrote, quote-tweeting Mamdani's address...

A federal appeals court on Saturday declined to allow U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to implement in 23 states his executive order that aims to tighten rules for mail-in voting ahead of November elections that will decide control of Congress. The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the administration’s request to lift an injunction several Democratic-led states secured on June 25 from a lower-court judge who concluded that key parts of the Republican president’s order were unconstitutional. In asking the court to pause U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani’s ruling while it pursues an appeal, the U.S. Department of Justice had argued that because government agencies had yet to finalize actions and policies to implement Trump’s directive, any lawsuit challenging his order was premature...

French President Emmanuel Macron held a crisis meeting Monday focusing on monster, uncontrolled wildfires that have forced more than 250,000 people to flee their homes, amid a first glimmer of hope that the spread of the largest blaze may have slowed. In the Gironde region of southwest France, where flames have burned an area four times the size of Paris, the prefecture said the situation overnight had remained “globally stable” — a change from previous days where the giant blaze raging since last week edged closer to the wine region city of Bordeaux...

The growing availability of compounded GLP-1 weight-loss drugs has prompted warnings from doctors and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Last month, the FDA issued 25 warning letters to telehealth companies over what it called false or misleading claims about compounded GLP-1 medications. Unlike FDA-approved drugs, compounded versions have not been proven to be safe, effective, or consistently manufactured. Some may contain additional ingredients or alternative forms of the active drug...

The Trump administration on Monday will launch a global partnership with more than 20 allies to accelerate the development of secure 6G wireless networks, officials first shared with POLITICO, as Washington seeks to blunt China’s influence over the next generation of telecommunications. The initiative includes countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, and is intended to help coordinate governments’ 6G strategies years before the technology is expected to begin replacing 5G networks in the 2030s...

ORF Kolkata, and Rob Freund on X
The number of lawyers being reprimanded for AI usage has skyrocketed over the past year. Those getting caught fudging their work aren't from law offices born out of a garage either; they're from some of the biggest legal teams in the country. Blaze News previously reported on a 2025 case from Mississippi where both sides of the aisle were caught using artificial intelligence when they submitted nonexistent citations in support of their case. The judge reprimanded both parties and canceled the trial...
