Here's a hint: It's something that Democrats could not shut up about for the last four years. No, it's not Defund the Police. That mission still gets some support from the progressive/socialist vanguard, as we see in New York City. And you know it's not about Donald Trump and his supposed "threat to democracy."
So which Democrat dog has ceased its barking? The one that barked up the wrong energy tree, according to an Axios review of Democrat speeches and social-media accounts:
Democrats aren't explicitly disavowing the Green New Deal, but they've abruptly stopped talking about it as they scramble to find new ways to talk about climate change.
President Trump responded to multiple threats by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to attack the U.S. with nuclear weapons by ordering the deployment of two ballistic missile submarines to stand ready in case of a Russian miscalculation. Writing on TruthSocial, President Trump said:
Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important,
U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he had ordered deployment of two nuclear submarines in response to "highly provocative" comments by a senior Russian official.
"Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev..., I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
"Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances."
Trump did not say whether he meant nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed submarines.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that modified “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries, with updated duties ranging from 10% to 41%.
All goods that are considered to have been transshipped to avoid applicable duties will be subject to an additional 40% tariff, according to the White House.
Countries that are not listed in the latest order will face an additional duty of 10%, the order said. The updated directive modifies tariffs imposed under the earlier executive order issued in April.
The modified rates will be effective with respect to goods “entered for consumption on or after 12:01 a.m.

A crony of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence official unless he concurred in the fake Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, notes obtained exclusively by The Federalist show.
The notes made public for the first time today recount a conversation the top analyst in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) had with an unnamed superior who worked closely with the then-Director James Clapper, according to sources familiar with the document.

its leader 5 replies
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Thursday that there would be a 90-day negotiating period with Mexico after a call with that country’s leader, Claudia Sheinbaum, as the 25% tariff rates stay in place.
Trump, posting on Truth Social, said his phone conversation with Sheinbaum was “very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other.”
Trump said that goods from Mexico imported into the U.S. would continue to face a 25% tariff that the U.S. president has ostensibly linked to fentanyl trafficking. The Republican said that autos would face a 25% tariffs, while copper, aluminum and steel would be taxed at 50%.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that Canada’s decision to recognize Palestinian statehood could jeopardize a future trade deal between the U.S. and its northern neighbor.
“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump’s tariff deadline is August 1 and the U.S. has yet to reach a trade deal with Canada. Earlier this month, Trump threatened a 35 percent tariff on Canada, without going into specifics. The U.S. could increase tariffs on Canadian imports from 25 percent to 35 percent with exemptions

'Allies' Defying America Over a 'Palestinian State' 13 replies
France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have now joined hands to proclaim they will recognize a "Palestinian state" in September if Israel doesn't surrender to Hamas. That comes despite calls from the United States to release the hostages as a precondition for any negotiations regarding a "two-state solution." In response, Hamas immediately pulled out of talks regarding a ceasefire, emboldened by a move that they see as assuring their survival as the governing authority in Gaza.
In other words, Macron just doomed what hostages remain alive

It’s our “man bites dog” story of the day. Fox News noticed,
Washington Post editorial slams Obama judge for blocking ‘fair and square’ GOP defunding of Planned Parenthood.
I didn’t see that one coming. The Washington Post editorial board backed Pres. Trump under the headline,
This is what judicial overreach looks like.
The case is the one John wrote about on Monday where a rogue federal district judge vetoed the decision of Congress to defund Planned Parenthood.
The Post‘s editorial is chock full of unexpected common-sense analysis,
Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks.
Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going.
Tapper attempted to defuse the tension, saying he just wanted
Alternate headline: Harvard Runs Thin on Allies.
The paroxysm of anti-Semitism on American campuses did not limit itself to the Ivy League. A continent away, pro-Hamas agitators and students staged violent intimidation campaigns at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), making national headlines as Jewish students and faculty got targeted. The faculty and administration went all-in almost immediately after the October 7 massacres too, offering extra credit for pro-Hamas lectures the same week. That prompted demonstrations promoting an "intifada" against the Jews within hours:
Brown University announced today that it had reached an agreement with the Trump administration to restore it's federal funding with. Brown is the third high profile university to make such an agreement.
The agreement, a copy of which Brown made public, calls for the university to make $50 million in payments to state work force development programs over a decade and requires Brown to comply with the Trump administration’s vision on matters like transgender athletes and “merit-based” admissions policies.
The university, which is in Providence, R.I., secured a pledge from the government that the deal would not be used “to dictate Brown’s curriculum

Biden warns of ‘dark days’ under Trump
25 replies
CHICAGO — Former President Joe Biden expressed alarm Thursday about attacks on the rule of law and threats to civil rights under President Donald Trump in some of his most pointed criticism about the new administration since leaving office. Biden, speaking to the National Bar Association in Chicago, did not mention Trump by name but his intended target was clear during remarks that only ran about 20 minutes. “You can’t sugarcoat it. These are dark days,” Biden told the crowd of nearly 1,100 members of the predominantly Black legal organization. The remarks echoed, at least in tone, some of his
The family of one of the black suspects caught on viral video beating up white people in downtown Cincinnati made the incendiary claim that the only reason the assault made national news is that one victim was a white woman.
Police have made multiple arrests after the video of the woman in a black flowery dress who tried to intervene was sucker punched with a vicious blow to the blindside that knocked her to the street, resulting in serious injuries.
Among those identified in the incident is 34-year-old Montianez Merriweather, who was initially charged with aggravated riot and assault,
The leftist mob is now melting down over Dunkin’s latest “genetics” ad — just days after Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign was slammed as so-called Nazi propaganda. The donut company is the latest to find itself in the liberal firing line after dropping its new commercial featuring “The Summer I Turned Pretty” star Gavin Casalegno earlier this week. The 30-second clip, which was posted on the chain’s social media accounts, shows the heartthrob gushing that his tan is down to genetics.
In recent weeks, a scandal of epic proportions has come to light, confirming that the Obama administration rigged intelligence to concoct the Russia collusion narrative against Donald Trump, and the conspiracy went all the way to the top: Barack Obama himself.
This is no longer hearsay, thanks to two explosive document releases from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. (Snip) But speaking the truth in a rigged game is a recipe for punishment. When the analyst tried to report his concerns, he was promptly silenced by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), then the Democratic chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton approved a plan hatched by a top campaign adviser to “smear” then-candidate Donald Trump with false claims of Russian collusion and distract from her own mounting email scandal during the 2016 campaign, according to explosive intelligence files declassified Thursday. The intelligence came from two memos obtained by the Obama administration in the lead-up to the Clinton-Trump contest and laid out “confidential conversations” between members of the Democratic National Committee and liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
An Islamic center in Minnesota penned a gushing letter of support for a Somalian migrant convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, 42, was convicted in May of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he was found guilty of abducting the girl from her backyard and raping her in June 2024. Following his conviction, Dirie's local Islamic center, Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, submitted a heartfelt letter begging Hennepin County District Court Judge Michael Burns to consider the convicted criminal's 'character' before delivering a sentence, Alpha News reported.
Alas, the day is here: the annex to the Durham report, the investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion hoax that former Attorney General William Barr initiated, has been declassified and released. It was discovered in the FBI burn bags by Director Kash Patel. It wasn’t just this file—thousands of documents related to the Russian interference investigation that the Obama DOJ, or lack thereof, conducted. The annex is clear about a few things, some of which you’ve already read about from Katie.
First, we have George Soros ties, with emails from Open Society Foundations Regional Director Leonard Bernardo that were authentic,

Monday’s mass shooting is a problem for Zohran Mamdani not just thanks to his long record of cop-bashing, but because he was off vacationing at the family estate in Uganda when it happened.
Any candidate could have been out of town in late July, but no others would be partying at a grand colonial compound an ocean away from home.
And it’s an extra-icky look for a socialist who’s supposedly pro-equality and anti-imperialistic.
Yes, the gated Mamdani spread in the ritzy Buziga Hill neighborhood of Kampala, Uganda, belongs to Zohran’s Hollywood-director mom and Columbia radical-prof dad, but he plainly feels fully privileged to enjoy it.
Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight” that President Donald Trump’s tariffs would cause “double-digit” price increases.
Coons said, “He made a lot of promises in his campaign. He promised not to cut Medicaid, but he has. They’ve passed the so-called Big Beautiful Bill that cut Medicaid. He promised he was going to lower prices, but he hasn’t. He’s going to impose tariffs tonight, that will raise them.”
Host Michael Steele said, “Senator, we have less than a minute left, but I do want you to pick up on one thing you noted there about tomorrow, August 1st, tariff day, your thoughts?”
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it.
Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals.
“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said.
She continued, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers
Congress’s slashing of federal funding has resulted in one of the most useless agencies shutting down operations.
The far-left Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced in a press release on Friday that they were going to begin the process of closing down for good, despite a supposed outcry from millions of Americans.
The organization cited the shutdown due to the passage of the rescissions package last month and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill.
