Mark Green resigns from Congress to take
mystery job — narrowing Republicans’
threadbare majority

Tennessee Rep. Mark Green announced that he has resigned from Congress to take a mysterious new job — narrowing Republicans’ already ultra-slim majority by one seat ahead of messy fights such as the looming government shutdown battle in the fall. The retired US Army officer had revealed his intention to step down last month after passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but had refrained from giving an exact date. On Friday, he tendered his resignation, which is effective July 20, per his letter to GOP leadership.

First on Fox: As Planned Parenthood sues the Trump administration for provisions of the "big, beautiful bill" defunding abortion providers, pro-life medical groups are urging Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reexamine the FDA’s broad approval of abortion drugs.In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, six anti-abortion medical organizations, representing approximately 30,000 medical professionals, urge Kennedy and FDA Commissioner Martin Makary to reinstate safety guards on the abortion pill mifepristone that have been removed since it was first approved in 2000.According to the Guttmacher Institute, medication abortion accounts for 63% of all U.S. abortions.

A six-year-old girl has allegedly been forced to marry a 45-year-old man in Afghanistan after she was given away for money.
The haunting photo of an older man and a little girl standing together horrified even the Taliban, who intervened with the union.
The youngster had allegedly been exchanged by her father for money to a man who already has two wives, it was reported by Amu.tv.[snip] In the same year as the Taliban came to power, after the US' heavily criticised exit, a nine-year-old girl who was sold by her father to a 55-year-old man as a child bride was rescued by a charity.
ABC’s lead Sunday morning anchor is not letting facts get in the way of a political narrative, even after losing a $16 million lawsuit to President Trump and when bodies from a tragedy are still warm.[snip] Trump has signed a “Major Disaster Declaration” for much-needed relief for Kerr County, while Coast Guard officials and Texas first responders have saved over 850 lives so far.
However, Stephanopoulos seized on this tragedy during his Sunday ABC show and saw an opportunity to blame the Trump Administration for deaths from the flooding, alleging they cut funding to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Dr. Joseph Giordano, the surgeon credited with saving President Ronald Reagan’s life after a 1981 assassination attempt and remembered for one of the pithiest comebacks ever uttered in an operating room, has died at the age of 84.[snip] Just before he was given general anesthesia, Reagan reportedly rose on one elbow, removed his oxygen mask and said, “I hope you are all Republicans.” Dr. Giordano, a committed liberal, had a memorable comeback. “Today, Mr. President,” he said. “We are all Republicans.”
Black New York isn’t buying it. A slew of black Big Apple residents fumed Friday over mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani’s claim on an Ivy League college application that he is African American — with them raging the socialist pol is a “fraud” and “trickster.”[snip] Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, had checked off the “black or African American” and “Asian” boxes on his 2009 Columbia University application regarding his race, the New York Times reported last week.
The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes.Almost daily during the tariff hysterias of March, we were told by university economists and most of the PhDs employed in investment and finance that the U.S. was headed toward a downward, if not recessionary, spiral.[snip] Instead, recent data show increases in tariff revenue. Personal real income and savings were up. Job creation exceeded prognoses. There was no surge in inflation. The supposedly "crashed" stock market reached historic highs.

Investigation of Jerome Powell for Lying
to Congress 4 replies
Federal Housing Finance Administration (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte is calling on Congress to launch an immediate investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after he was accused of lying to the Senate Banking Committee last week. Powell, aside from being hit with calls for his resignation during a hearing last Wednesday, raised eyebrows by insisting that a bloated $2.5 billion renovation of the central bank’s Washington headquarters would not include outrageous new amenities.

General Bondi’s comments about evidence
in Epstein case 0 replies
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent comments about evidence the Justice Department is reviewing from its Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation has fueled anticipation about the expected release of more files related to the wealthy financier. But weeks after Bondi’s claim about “tens of thousands” of Epstein videos in the government’s possession, it remains unclear what she was referring to. Here’s a look at some of the takeaways from an Associated Press report about the Epstein case and Bondi’s recent remarks:
The Senate has done it—barely. After a marathon vote-a-rama session that stretched into the early morning hours, Republicans squeaked through their version of Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill by the thinnest possible margin: 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the deciding vote.[snip] here's what Washington doesn't want you to understand: this razor-thin victory is where the real fight begins.[snip] House conservatives have already said that they are not happy with the Senate version and they will be raising some serious objections.
Between the economy booming, illegal aliens being punted back over the border, and Iran getting neutered like some kid named Kaden whose wine woman Munchausen mommy needs attention, as well as the president not being a senile eggplant, the future looks good for the Republicans in 2028.[snip] But there is one guy who worries me. There’s one guy who’s doing things differently, who seems to be aiming for the empty “I’m not crazy and I don’t hate you” lane to the nomination.

As Matt reported earlier, the Department of Justice and FBI have concluded there’s no evidence Jeffrey Epstein kept a “client list,” blackmailed powerful individuals, or was murdered, according to a memo obtained by Axios. The latest update has infuriated those on the Right seeking new information about the Epstein case, particularly after a disappointing document drop in February from the DOJ that contained files already available to the public.
Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing increasing calls for her resignation or firing as a leaked Department of Justice memo has indicated the agency found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein engaged in large-scale blackmail and that no master list of his clients existed.
Conservative activist Liz Wheeler ranked among the most vocal in her calls for Bondi's ouster, saying ""If I'm President Trump, I would not tolerate this behavior anymore. She has become a LIABILITY to his administration."
Wheeler further referenced Bondi's past orchestration of a botched public release of information to MAGA influencers in binders.

at flooded Texas girls camp for being ‘white-only’ 33 replies
A former Houston mayoral appointee raged at a Texas girls camp for being “white-only’’ — hours after deadly flooding ripped through the facility, killing at least five young campers and leaving 11 more missing.
“I know I’m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp. They don’t even have a token Asian. They don’t have a token Black person. It’s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp,” Sade Perkins said in a widely condemned video on her private TikTok account.
“If you ain’t white you ain’t right, you ain’t gettin’ in, you ain’t goin’. Period,” Perkins said —

A judge on Monday barred the Trump administration from revoking Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, partially freezing a provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act just days after President Trump signed it into law.
The temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani lasts 14 days and directs the Department of Health and Human Services to "take all steps necessary to ensure that Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed" to Planned Parenthood. The ruling, which came after a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood, doesn't apply to any other health care providers.
The lawsuit takes aim at a portion of Mr. Trump's signature domestic policy bill that would cut off
President Trump said Monday his administration would send Ukraine additional weapons after his administration imposed a pause on some shipments to Kyiv.
“We’re going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now,” Trump told reporters during a dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Defensive weapons, primarily, but they’re getting hit very, very hard. So many people are dying in that mess,” he added.
The Pentagon last week confirmed a decision to halt the delivery of some air defense missiles and munitions to Ukraine, citing concerns about U.S. military stockpiles being depleted.
A pediatrician has been fired over a vile post suggesting that the more than 80 killed in the horrific Texas floods — including dozens of kids — were President Trump supporters who got “what they voted for.”
Dr. Christina B. Propst drew widespread scorn following the disparaging, since-deleted post under her old Facebook username, Chris Tina, according to Mediaite.“May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry,” Probst wrote in the now-viral post. “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”
In a dissent of a Supreme Court ruling, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said: "Today's order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial."
Justice Sotomayor made this statement in her dissent from the ruling allowing for migrants to be deported to countries they are not from.
In her dissent, which she wrote with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, she said that this would result in the government "deporting noncitizens to potentially dangerous countries without notice or the opportunity to assert a fear of torture."Those
Democratic lawmakers say their voters are enraged at the lack of ability to counter President Donald Trump's agenda, with some saying they could resort to "violence," Axios reported Monday.
The outlet says it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don't hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears.
"We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., told the outlet.

Justice Department says, walking back

Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review.
One of the fascinating things about following leftists on social media is that they are lemmings. The order goes out that all must put up a specific meme and, suddenly, all do. That’s why my long-ago high school classmates (99% of whom are leftists), suddenly started posting a variation of a meme insisting that Leviticus—a part of the Bible that is so dear to conservative hearts—mandates accepting illegal aliens. Naturally, these leftists, who wouldn’t recognize the Bible if it bit them, are completely wrong.
The most popular version of this meme, the one with almost 6 million views, came from Devin Duke:
Remember this moment in 2019 when Democrats were asked to raise their hands if they supported treating border crossing as a civil issue aka decriminalize the border. Nearly ever hand went up. In retrospect, some Democrats are realizing this may have been a big mistake.
Six years later, the party remains haunted by that tableau. It stands both as a vivid demonstration of a leftward policy shift on immigration that many prominent Democratic lawmakers and strategists now say they deeply regret, and as a marker of how sharply the country was moving in the other direction.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers railed against President Trump’s massive tax and spending bill, saying no objective economist would characterize the legislation as a boon to the economy.
“There is no economist anywhere, without a strong political agenda, who is saying that this bill is a positive for the economy. And the overwhelming view is that it is probably going to make the economy worse,” Summers told ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos in a Sunday interview on “This Week.”“Think about it this way,” he continued. “How long can the world’s greatest debtor remain the world’s greatest power?
