Conservative activist Laura Loomer doubled down on inflammatory remarks about Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, refusing to apologize after CNN panel demanded GOP condemnation. Loomer called Nixon a "ghetto black communist bitch" and said "her record proves it."

On CNN, commentator Shermichael Singleton pressed Republicans to disavow Loomer, warning the language could damage GOP outreach to Black voters. Host Victor Blackwell drew parallels to GOP criticism of progressive commentators Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed. Reporter Julia Manchester questioned whether Sen. Ashley Moody would condemn the remarks.

Loomer deflected, saying Moody "does not need to answer for me" and pivoted to Nixon's past statements, including calling supporters of Charlie Kirk remembrance resolutions "tools of white supremacy" and claiming "Republicans are killing black people."

The exchange highlights ongoing tensions over inflammatory rhetoric and party accountability ahead of 2024.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Canadian PM Mark Carney is facing internal resistance from Canadian businesses and military over his trade stance with Trump.

Bessent's key points:

"Canadian businesses are NOT with the Prime Minister. The Canadian military is NOT with the Prime Minister."

He emphasized U.S. leverage: "They REALLY do need our country. What if we said to them, 'if you get in a conflict with any other country, we're not going to be there for you?' What would happen to Canada then?"

Bessent also called out what he termed a "free rider problem" with Canada that's persisted for years.

The comments signal the Trump administration sees Canada in a weak negotiating position as trade tensions escalate.

Laura Loomer clashed with CNN panelists after Democrat Isaiah Martin called her the GOP's "de facto attack dog" and urged Trump to disown her. When asked if Democrats should disown Hasan Piker—who said America deserved 9/11—Martin declined. Host Abby Phillip then called Loomer a "9/11 conspiracy theorist," referencing her work targeting Biden holdovers in the Trump administration. Loomer vowed to continue her efforts regardless of media pushback.

A 56-year-old woman, Dawn Light, was arrested for jury intimidation after allegedly chasing and photographing jurors in the Lindsay Clancy case following their dismissal. Light is being held in jail overnight and faces serious felony charges in Massachusetts. She is scheduled to appear before a judge in the morning.

At this weekend's Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) Summit, organizers imposed strict rules ahead of Vice President JD Vance's appearance. Over 100 students attending were explicitly warned: no booing allowed. Anyone who dissented audibly would be removed and banned from future RJC events.

RJC staff appeared visibly anxious about Vance's reception. His speech was the only session closed to media—marked "off the record" throughout the conference. Students were effectively isolated and monitored to prevent any public pushback during his remarks.

The unusual security theater suggests internal concern about how Vance would be received by younger attendees.

Judge finds probable cause on all seven charges against Tyler Robinson in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, including that Kirk was politically targeted.

Robinson now faces the death penalty.

Charges include:

• Aggravated murder (capital felony) — intentional killing with aggravating factors, including creating great risk of death to others and targeting Kirk for his political expression

• Felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury

• Two counts obstruction of justice — hiding the rifle and clothing used in the shooting

• Two counts witness tampering — pressuring roommate to delete texts and stay silent

• Commission of violent offense in presence of a child

Judge rules there's enough evidence to try Tyler Robinson for the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Judge Graf called the evidence "overwhelming," citing Robinson's DNA as a major contributor on the rifle's stock, grips, trigger, and trigger guard. Tool mark analysis matched an engraving cutter from Robinson's home to cartridge casings found with the murder weapon.

Most damning: FBI analysis found Robinson's DNA on a screwdriver at the crime scene with a likelihood ratio exceeding 30 quintillion to one.

The judge also pointed to vehicle surveillance footage and text messages between Robinson and his boyfriend as further corroboration. The case now heads to trial.

Conservative activist Laura Loomer says disavowing Tucker Carlson should be an easy test for anyone seeking the presidency. She claims she repeatedly warned about this issue, calling the situation "tragic" and suggesting it shouldn't be this difficult.

Trump nominates Hung Cao as Secretary of the Navy. The president praised Cao as a patriot who will keep the Navy and Marine Corps as "the fiercest and best force the world has ever seen." Cao is known for his anti-communist stance.

House censured Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) 413-2 for sexual misconduct with staffers. Speaker Johnson publicly admonished him on the floor.

Meanwhile, Rep. Ilhan Omar avoided censure despite reposting content calling Charlie Kirk a "reprehensible human being" and "stochastic terrorist" shortly after his assassination. The censure motion failed due to opposition from members including Rep. Cory Mills, allowing Omar to retain her committee assignments.

Former Navy SEAL training principle: "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast."

The takeaway? Calm, steady progress beats frantic hustle. You can hit 95% of your goals just by consistently moving forward without drama.

Defense attorney Richard Novak argued in court that the murder of Charlie Kirk cannot be politically motivated, citing Kirk's public statements on gender identity and sexuality as "hateful speech." Novak, representing Tyler Robinson, told the court: "Mr. Kirk spoke hatefully of certain groups of people... of people who don't have traditional norm-conforming gender identities... of people who are not strictly heterosexual."

The defense strategy frames Kirk's rhetoric as justification for dismissing political motive in the case. Critics are calling the courtroom remarks defamatory toward the victim.

Weight training beats cardio for fat loss and body composition—it builds muscle, which shifts your metabolism. Abs are made in the kitchen: everyone has them, but diet determines whether they show (90%+ of the equation). Supplements can help, but only as add-ons to solid diet and training fundamentals.

Trump mocked New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for wearing a hijab during a public appearance, calling it pandering to Muslim voters.

He tied the criticism to Manhattan's congestion pricing program, claiming the tolls are hurting her politically—especially among the constituencies she's trying to court.

"The whole thing is CRAZY!" Trump said in a statement.

Hochul has faced bipartisan pushback over congestion pricing, which charges drivers entering parts of Manhattan to fund transit improvements.

Miami doctor Wladimir Lorentz invoked the Fifth Amendment 10 times during congressional testimony today after being subpoenaed over allegations he operated a birth tourism scheme. Lorentz allegedly facilitated over 2,000 births tied to what lawmakers are calling mass immigration fraud through anchor baby arrangements. Critics are demanding federal prosecution.

The jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial has been dismissed early, wrapping Day 4 of deliberations. Clancy is accused of killing her children. The case has drawn intense public attention, with some observers expressing concern about potential jury division. The outcome remains uncertain as deliberations continue.

The Lindsay Clancy case is reigniting abortion debate tensions. Clancy, a Massachusetts mother charged with killing her three children in 2023, is citing postpartum mental health issues in her defense. Some advocates are framing this as evidence that reproductive rights discussions must expand beyond abortion access to include comprehensive maternal mental health support. Critics argue this conflates criminal defense with abortion policy. The case highlights deep divisions over where abortion rights advocacy begins and ends—and whether mental health crises justify extreme legal leniency.

Elon Musk's $X Money has been ordered to halt 6% interest payments on customer balances in New York. The directive targets users in the state specifically, though details on the regulatory body behind the order remain unclear. The move raises questions about the product's compliance strategy and whether similar restrictions could spread to other states.

Laura Loomer says she'll drop an exclusive tomorrow on alleged CCP efforts to control more of America's food supply. She expects it to make waves on Capitol Hill.

Trump DOJ filed what officials call a "first-of-its-kind" lawsuit against Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools, alleging the district secretly facilitated student gender transitions without parental notification or consent.

Assistant Attorney General Dhillon said the policy violated federal education privacy laws (FERPA & PPRA), calling it "no consent, no notice, just a hidden policy."

The suit marks the administration's first federal legal action targeting school gender policies that exclude parents from transition-related decisions.
