suspect Bryan Kohberger accepts plea deal
Posted By: sunset, 6/30/2025 8:31:01 PM
Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the highly anticipated murder trial accused of killing four Idaho college students, accepted a plea deal. A victim’s family member told the Idaho Statesman that they received a letter, and provided the letter to the Statesman, confirming the plea deal. The plea deal was first reported by NewsNation. Kohberger was accused of fatally stabbing the University of Idaho students in November 2022 in their off-campus Moscow home. He faced four first-degree murder charges and, if convicted, could have been sentenced to death in a trial that was slated to start with opening statements on Aug. 18.

After weeks of negotiations, the Senate has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—a ten-year fiscal package which would serve as the vehicle for fulfilling President Donald Trump’s campaign promises on tax cuts and border security. Despite intra-party debates on overall deficit levels, healthcare reform and how to undo President Joe Biden’s environmental policies, Republicans were ultimately able to find a consensus under the leadership of newly-minted Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D. The bill, which has passed by a margin of 51-50 in the Senate with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, will now go to the House of Representatives,
The Department of Justice has charged 324 individuals, including 100 medical professionals, due to their alleged involvement in a $16.4 billion healthcare fraud scheme, marking the largest healthcare fraud takedown in DoJ history. The $14.6 billion scheme spanned across all 50 states – resulting in law enforcement seizing over $245 million in cash, cryptocurrency and luxury vehicles, among other assets. Just in Arizona, a United Arab Emirates-based billing company had allegedly defrauded Medicaid of $650 million, and the company targeted Native American and homeless patients for “addiction treatment scams,” according to the Washington Examiner.
Supreme Court to Hear JD Vance Case

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a Republican-led challenge to a federal campaign finance law provision that limits how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates. The case, which centers on free speech claims, involves Vice President JD Vance, who was a U.S. Senate candidate in Ohio when the lawsuit was initiated.
The justices took up an appeal from Vance and two Republican committees, contesting a lower court's decision that upheld the spending limits. The challengers argue the restrictions violate constitutional protections by capping party spending influenced by input from supported candidates.

Nebraska Republican U.S. Rep. Don Bacon appears poised to leave Congress in early 2027. One House Republican strategist who works on campaigns across the country said Bacon was not running for reelection and that he had already telegraphed what he was going to do. He spoke to the Examiner Friday on the condition that he not be named publicly, because he was not authorized to share the decision. “Don’t get me wrong,” the consultant said. “This seat is tougher without Bacon, but he’s not special. It can be done.”
Five other local Republican sources familiar with Bacon’s choice confirmed that he had decided to skip the 2026 race.
New Jersey’s most politically influential union funneled more than $40 million into this year’s race for governor — only to land with a fifth-place finish. Now, its political instincts are in question. The New Jersey Education Association made its largest investment in a campaign to support its president, Sean Spiller, in his longshot bid for the governor’s mansion. No other special interest group has ever spent as much in state history to promote a single candidate, a sign of an increase of big money in state races. Spiller struggled to raise his own funds — so much so that he didn’t qualify for debates in the Democratic primary.
El Salvador’s president said he would send inmates of the country’s notorious mega-prison to France in the wake of a Paris Fashion Week show critiquing the government’s treatment of the prisoners.
Nayib Bukele criticised a collection debuted by Willy Chavarria, a Mexican-American designer, featuring models wearing outfits resembling inmate uniforms at El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot). Responding to a message online saying Mr Chavarria’s show was a tribute to Cecot prisoners, the El Salvador president wrote: “We’re ready to ship them all to Paris whenever we get the green light from the French government.”
The US and China finalized a trade understanding reached last month in Geneva, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said, adding that the White House has imminent plans to reach agreements with a set of 10 major trading partners.
The China deal, which Lutnick said had been signed two days ago, codifies the terms laid out in trade talks between Beijing and Washington, including a commitment from China to deliver rare earths used in everything from wind turbines to jet planes.
“They’re going to deliver rare earths to us” and once they do that, “we’ll take down our countermeasures,” Lutnick told Bloomberg News in an interview.
One of the biggest political races in recent Kentucky history has a new entrant.
Nate Morris, a Republican tech entrepreneur from Lexington, announced Thursday evening that he would run to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell, who is not seeking reelection in 2026. The announcement came during an appearance on a podcast hosted by President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr.
Morris and allies have been hinting for months that this announcement could come. He has made headlines leading up to the announcement with his disparaging comments toward McConnell, going so far as to call him “scum” on a right wing podcast.
Supreme Court rules for Trump, limits

district judges’ power to block his
orders nationwide 8 replies
The Supreme Court has limited the power of federal district judges to hand down orders that apply nationwide.
By 6-3 vote, the justices said Friday that judges may not issue orders that apply to people beyond those who sued.
“Federal courts do not exercise general oversight of the Executive Branch,” said Justice Amy Coney Barrett. And while judges can give full relief to plaintiffs, including groups of people, their injunctions should not be “broader than necessary” to shield those people.
The court’s three liberals dissented.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the Trump administration is trying to defend a blatantly unconstitutional order repealing birthright citizenship.
The Trump administration is preparing to test a 1974 budget law by refusing to spend congressionally mandated funds, senior federal officials say — an escalation that could change the balance of power between Congress and the White House.
In both internal communications and interviews, more than two dozen current and former employees across multiple agencies said the administration appears to be readying to push the boundaries of the law meant to prevent the president from unilaterally overturning spending decisions made by Congress.
Key White House aides have long argued that the law is an unconstitutional limit on presidential power and suggested that they will seek court rulings to overturn it
A federal judge in Texas granted a temporary reprieve to two small money services operations that had argued that a new Trump administration policy intended to ensnare drug traffickers was instead driving them out of business. The ruling, handed down late Tuesday, marked the third time a court had rejected a new Treasury Department rule that calls for increased scrutiny of financial service businesses along the southern border, which are already highly regulated. The government in March required businesses in certain ZIP codes in Texas and California to report any transaction larger than $200, along with personal identifying information about the customer.

One of Illinois’ more interesting laws to go on the books in recent years takes effect Tuesday. The law banning single-use plastic bottles in the state’s hotels, Senate Bill 2960, is one of the new laws and tax changes set to go into effect in Illinois on July 1. So, does this mean you’ll never find one of those little plastic shampoo bottles in an Illinois hotel ever again? Well, not just yet. The Small Plastic Bottle Act, signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker in August 2025, stipulates that Illinois hotels with 50 rooms or more cannot provide single-use plastic bottles

“Millions will die” [Updated]

From the U.K. Daily Mail,
More than 14 million people could die as a result of Donald Trump’s foreign aid cuts, a new study has found.
The US President’s administration announced it had slashed 83 per cent of programmes run by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) shortly after he returned to the White House for a second term.
And now research published in the leading medical journal, Lancet, has predicted that 14 million people – 4.5 million of whom are children under the age of five – could die by 2030 as a result.
There are something like 195 independent nations on the planet, and not a single one, other than America,
New Yorkers faced the choice of a miscreant former governor and a radical Democrat socialist for the position of mayor in the Democrat primary. Prior to Zohran Mamdani’s election in the primary, his absurd and speculative plans to provide all kinds of freebies to the citizenry were the talk of the town:
Mamdani’s platform focused on a number of issues that have animated socialists in the Democratic Party, including raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, cracking down on delivery apps, as well as investing in affordable housing and creating city-owned grocery stores.
His campaign proposes a new minimum wage law that would raise the wage floor for
Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen witnessed the Hosseini Infants Ceremony, where hundreds of women hold their babies into the air to show they are willing to offer their children to God and Imam Hossein.
The annual ceremony in Tehran honors Ali Asghar, the six-month-old son of Imam Hussein, who was killed during the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. Held on the first Friday of Muharram, it began in 2003 at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla Mosque and has since expanded to over 8,500 gatherings across Iran and 45 other countries. Mothers dress their babies in symbolic green and white garments,
Sometimes the winning comes a little bit at a time, and sometimes it comes in significant chunks. This is one of the latter, mostly due to the historical significance of the building involved: On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that New York City's famous Roosevelt Hotel is no longer being used as free housing for illegal aliens. [Tweets]
This is a piece of good news. What the Department of Homeland Security doesn't mention is how long it will take to make this historic hotel once more fit to receive paying guests again, if it ever does.

Illegals Off Medicaid 56-44 – RINO Susan
Collins Votes No! 23 replies
The Senate, during a vote-a-rama on the One Big Beautiful Bill on Monday afternoon, failed to include a provision that would end illegal aliens from fraudulently receiving Medicaid benefits.
One Republican, RINO Susan Collins of Maine, actually voted for illegal aliens to continue receiving Medicaid benefits! Four Democrats voted in favor of the Motion.
Per Townhall, the vote to remove illegals from Medicaid failed by a margin of 56-44. Removing illegals from Medicaid benefits was one of the key provisions in the bill that the unelected Senate Parliamentarian rejected by applying the “Byrd Rule.”

We’ve previously covered Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA Inc., yet it somehow manages to be worse than we initially thought. I think we can easily say that her dissent proves that she’s not a serious member of the Supreme Court.
In the recent case concerning birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a majority opinion grounded in the Constitution and centuries of precedent, Jackson’s dissent veered into the realm of the absurd. Instead of offering a rigorous legal argument
As has often been said, the corporate press are nothing if not a predictable lot, and that has certainly been the case in the aftermath of Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani's apparent Democrat mayoral primary victory in New York City, with the swooning commencing even before former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded defeat.We reported earlier, for instance, on how definitive proof existed well before the primary took place that the left's/MSM's latest "flavor of the month" was a genuine communist. And yet, instead of focusing on how troublesome it was that the guy who wants to be mayor of one of America's most iconic cities essentially wanted to destroy it,
Pity poor Jaguar. The British-based luxury and performance carmaker has had a rough go of it this century, but nothing could prepare anyone for the most bone-headed move in corporate history — and I don't mean Jaguar's woke "Reimagine" ad from late last year.
Let me bring you up to speed.
As recently as 2018, Jaguar sold 180,833 cars annually. Last year, they sold fewer than 33,000. In April — the most current sales figures available — Jag sold just 49 cars in the massive UK/Europe market. U.S. sales figures aren't available yet, but they aren't any better.
Jaguar went from selling 1,961 cars a month to 49 in just six years.
Harvard University violated federal civil rights law by failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students, the Trump administration found after an investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The administration is now threatening to cut off all funding to the university if action is not taken to address the violation.
HHS’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found Harvard to be in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race and ethnicity. The university has been a “willful participant in anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff,” the agency wrote in a letter to Harvard president Alan Garber. “Failure to institute
