Trump lands safely in Las Vegas after Secret Service detained an armed individual, Jeanine John Taele, near Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. The suspect was reportedly scoping out the property before the President's arrival. No injuries reported.

Trump downplayed a potential assassination threat at his Los Angeles golf course, where a suspect was arrested before his arrival. Speaking from the venue, he dismissed attempts to intimidate him: "The only thing I get a little solace from is they say 'only consequential presidents' [get these threats]. And I am DEFINITELY consequential." The former president showed no signs of altering his public schedule.

John James wins Michigan GOP gubernatorial primary by a wide margin. The Trump-backed candidate has been a vocal supporter of the former president throughout the campaign. General election set for November.

Former Missouri Rep. Cori Bush lost her Democratic congressional primary for the second consecutive cycle. Bush, who previously advocated for abolishing ICE during her tenure in Congress, was defeated decisively in the race. She originally lost her seat in the 2024 primary and has now failed to reclaim it.

Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno bought a car for an East Palestine resident in 2023 after the train derailment crisis, according to journalist Nick Sortor.

Sortor says Moreno personally purchased a vehicle for Courtney Miller, a local mother who had sent her children to Pennsylvania for safety and was struggling to afford transportation for job interviews. Moreno wasn't running for office at the time and requested no publicity for the gesture.

The story surfaces as Moreno faces increased media scrutiny. Sortor is releasing the details without Moreno's knowledge or approval, calling him "a TRULY good man" who deserves better treatment.

Michigan's Democratic Senate primary results drop tonight with Abdul El Sayed leading polls. El Sayed campaigned on abolishing ICE and criticized Israel/AIPAC throughout his race. His final rally featured streamer Hasan Piker, known for controversial 9/11 remarks. Primary outcome will signal direction of Michigan Democratic Party ahead of general election.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announced she will vote against Todd Blanche's Attorney General confirmation.

With Sen. Mitch McConnell absent, Blanche can only lose one more GOP vote before his nomination fails. VP JD Vance can break a 50-50 tie, but any additional Republican defection would sink the pick.

Collins is also opposing the SAVE America Act, aligning with a bloc of GOP senators resisting Trump-backed initiatives.

Laura Loomer calls on GOP to drop socialism messaging in favor of targeting Islamic influence in U.S. politics.

She argues Democratic Socialists of America candidates are "Islamic communists" and "jihadists," urging Republicans to focus on alleged Muslim takeover rather than economic critiques. Loomer warns GOP will lose House and Senate if they don't investigate "Islamic networks" fostering "homegrown Jihad."

She claims political consultants with ties to countries like Qatar are blocking this shift. Points to Michigan as example of Muslim political influence Republicans should oppose.

Loomer: "These people are scoundrels and they need to be made to feel very unwelcome in our country."

Conservative activist Laura Loomer warns of potential public backlash over what she characterizes as Islamic influence in America. She predicts Americans will eventually "snap" and suggests such a response would be met with indifference. The statement reflects ongoing tensions in U.S. immigration and cultural debates.

Dogecoin creator Billy Markus pushes back on a podcast's framing of Homer's Odyssey as purely an immigration story.

His take: The narrative conveniently skips how Penelope's suitors abused hospitality rules — draining Odysseus's wealth and attempting to claim his wife.

"Guests have to be good guests too," Markus writes, arguing the ancient text cuts both ways on reciprocal obligations.

BillyM2k pushes back on a podcast's take that The Odyssey is purely about immigration and hospitality. He notes the interpretation ignores how Penelope's suitors abused Zeus's guest-right laws—eating Odysseus's food and trying to steal his wife.

His point: hospitality is a two-way street. Guests also have responsibilities.

Laura Loomer warns GOP messaging on 'socialism' misses the mark—calls Islam a 'supremacist ideology' and urges party to address it directly or risk losing the House and Senate in November. She frames the issue as a choice between national identity and economic ties with Muslim-majority nations.

President Trump departed for Los Angeles aboard the new Air Force One. He's expected to engage with traveling press during the flight—a signature move that keeps reporters guessing on timing and topics.

Scientists are calling for cutting the global population in half — down to roughly 4 billion people — to protect the planet, according to a Daily Mail report. The proposal highlights growing concerns over resource consumption and environmental degradation, though it raises massive ethical and practical questions about how such a reduction could ever be achieved or enforced.

A mother posted video of her son being struck while riding his bike, then threatened to assault any child she sees cycling on the road. The post sparked backlash over her response to the incident, with critics questioning why she's targeting other kids rather than addressing road safety or driver behavior.

DOJ fined OpenAI $3.2M for allegedly favoring visa holders over American workers in hiring practices. The penalty marks federal enforcement action against the AI company's employment policies.

Laura Loomer is calling out Tucker Carlson and podcast guest Darryl Cooper (@martyrmade) for questioning Holocaust education in schools. In a recent episode, Cooper reportedly argued that teaching kids about the Holocaust could make them "afraid to take showers," while Carlson suggested the curriculum teaches people to "hold onto trauma."

Loomer slammed both as "Jew haters and Holocaust revisionists," saying history education exists so atrocities are never forgotten. The comments have sparked backlash over historical revisionism and the role of Holocaust education in schools.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed previously wrote an op-ed supporting the Muslim Brotherhood's rise in Egypt and signed a pledge backing then-leader Mohamed Morsi, according to documents surfaced by conservative activist Laura Loomer.

Loomer claims mainstream outlets have ignored the story. El-Sayed, who identifies as Muslim, has not publicly addressed the resurfaced writings.

The Muslim Brotherhood governed Egypt briefly after the 2011 Arab Spring before Morsi was ousted in a 2013 military coup. The group remains controversial—designated a terrorist organization by Egypt and several Gulf states, though not by the U.S.
