#1 Health Leaders Demand Trump Remove mRNA Vaccines in Open Letter - Greg Piper for Just the News, John Solomon, Nicolas Hulscher, MPH/Mary Talley Bowden MD, Health Freedom Defense Fund, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH®, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Robert W Malone, MD on X
When the second Trump administration refused to settle a lawsuit to reinstate in-person prescribing requirements for an abortion pill — instead launching a safety review with no end date — pro-life activists warned it would depress GOP voter turnout this fall. The old guard of the Make America Healthy Again movement, focused on reducing the power of the pharmaceutical industry and subjecting vaccines to far higher scrutiny, delivered an even more blunt message to President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: You're on the brink of civil war...
#2 The FBI Anti-Corruption Squad Was Circling Susan Collins — Until Trump Got in the Way - ProPublica, Jesse Eisinger, Molly Redden, Charles Ornstein, Ali, and Adam Nicotera on X
In the final weeks of 2019, a top fundraiser for Sen. Susan Collins walked into a perilous meeting at a Corner Bakery in Washington, D.C. For the first time in her two-decade Senate career, the Republican lawmaker from Maine was in danger of losing her seat. President Donald Trump’s dismal approval ratings were dragging her down in the polls, and she was falling behind her likely 2020 Democratic challenger in fundraising. Scott Reed, head of the Collins super PAC, was on a mission to close that gap. Reed was meeting that day with three executives from a Hawaiian defense contractor, Navatek. A year earlier, Collins had helped their company land a multimillion-dollar Navy research contract in Maine. Now, seated at a coffee shop not far from the U.S. Capitol, Reed asked them for a $500,000 donation...
#3 US TV Networks Suspend White House Pool Coverage Over Trump Media Ban - Ariana Baio and Maanvi Singh for The Guardian, Thomas Reich, MA$T€R, inkl, ARISE NEWS, and Economic Times on X
The major US television news outlets agreed to suspend their video coverage of Donald Trump after the administration banned journalists from several outlets from entering the White House grounds. The collective decision came after the barred outlets – CNN, MS Now, and Politico – sued the administration on Monday, saying the president’s actions were a violation of their First Amendment rights. The ban was an extraordinary escalation of Trump’s battle against news outlets. After a coalition of networks, including ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC – which, along with CNN, form a press “pool” that share the responsibilities of capturing and distributing footage of the president carried by news outlets worldwide – announced they would cease coverage in solidarity with the barred outlets, the White House promoted its own feed online, branding it “Trump TV”. The channel purported to show “top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place”...
#4 Trump and Mamdani’s Unlikely Rapport Endures in New York - Rebecca Falconer for Axios, Meghan McCain/Acyn/Justin/David, Eddy Olivo, Achmat Akkad, Bill Mitchell/Betty Ford Futura, and The New Arab on X
President Trump and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani struck a warm tone Monday during their third in-person meeting and agreed to deepen talks over a major housing project in Queens. The friendly encounter showed Trump and Mamdani's unusual personal rapport has endured despite their recent political clashes — and fresh disagreements on display Monday. During their meeting, Trump and Mamdani agreed to step up talks over the mayor's plan to build 12,000 affordable homes on a deck over the sprawling Sunnyside Yard in Queens, the two said during a briefing after the talks...
#5 Trump Heads to U.N. Looking for Wins After a Rough Week - Franco Ordoñez for npr, De Emiratez, Tired of being politically correct, The CSPAN Review, The New Statesman, WFUV News, and CSB News USA on X
President Trump is set to address world leaders Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York after a challenging few weeks with a series of legal and political setbacks. He's also riding a wave of low approval - below 40% - thanks in part to growing concerns about the economic fallout from the Iran war. He's also facing blowback after banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. The news organizations have sued to regain access. Less than two months from the midterm elections, Trump is looking for wins as he kicks off a high-profile week of diplomacy at the U.N. before hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington...

The U.S., Denmark and Greenland are set to formally sign President Trump’s new Greenland security agreement on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday, cementing permanent U.S. military rights on the strategically vital Arctic island after months of negotiations over Trump’s push for greater American control.

#7 What GLP-1 Users Should Know About the Potential Risk of a Rare Type of Vision Loss - Dr. Jade Cobern for ABC News, Amy Curtis, Doctor Med/Dr Ihab Suliman, WPRI 12, Eyewitness News, and Baller Alert on X
Dozens of Americans have filed personal injury lawsuits against the makers of popular GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, claiming they were not properly warned of the risk of a rare type of sudden vision loss, called nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, when taking the medications. Researchers have been studying a possible link between GLP-1 drugs and this eye condition in recent years after a possible safety signal was reported from a single health center in Boston in 2024, but so far, no study has proven these drugs are the cause...
#8 Family Tied to Suspected Chinese Spy Christine Fang Gave $4.4 Million to Newsom, Other California Politicians - Josh Boswell for CBS News, Jeremy Carl, An Appeal to Heaven, Shawn Holmgren, Rob Blackburn and UnfilteredAmerica on X
A California family gave over $4.4 million in political donations to Governor Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and other leading California politicians. And now, that family's alleged past links to infamous suspected honeypot spy Fang Fang, also known as Christine Fang, and other Chinese government officials have thrust them into an ongoing debate over foreign influence in American politics. The Yin family made millions running McDonald's franchises in the Golden State — and became prolific donors to politicians, according to state and federal campaign records. Newly released FBI files about Fang describe the family patriarch Chei Chen Yin, commonly known by his initials "C.C.", as a one-time professional associate of Fang through an organization he founded...
#9 Seventy-Year-Old Saucers and a Plan We Can’t Read - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, UncoverDC, Axel Vargas Machuca/Jennice Vilhauer PhD, Long Beard Productions, Tom Thompson, and OVERCLASSIFIED on X
We have now been told that somewhere in the federal government, there is a plan in place for what to do if we humans are not alone. Not a plan to go and find aliens, mind you. But a plan for the day that someone official confirms to the rest of us that they exist. Jennice Vilhauer, a clinical psychologist who sits on a new government UAP advisory council, wrote this month that at an August 31 meeting at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the council was informed that the United States has a preparedness plan in place should the existence of nonhuman intelligence be confirmed. She added that the country is ready to take “an international leadership role” if it happens. According to Vilhauer, the council was given no details. Not what agencies would lead, not what would trigger an announcement, and not what the plan actually says. They were simply told that it exists.#10 Judge Oks Wh Giving SpaceX Acres of Wildlife Refuge in Land Swap - NEWSMAX, The Virginian-Pilot, Bloomberg Law, The Boston Globe, NBC DFW, and

A federal judge on Monday refused to block the Trump administration from giving SpaceX more than 700 acres (280 hectares) of wildlife refuge as part of a land swap in Texas, while environmental groups vowed to continue their legal challenge. U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. declined the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction to prevent the parcel exchange, saying they failed to prove it would worsen ecological risks to a Gulf Coast region already transformed by billionaire Elon Musk’s rocket operations...
