The Department of Homeland Security announced the addition of 43 companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, marking what officials described as the largest single expansion of the list since the law took effect.
DHS, acting on behalf of the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force, said the additions will bring the total number of listed entities to 187, a 30% increase. The department also announced technical updates to the official names of two entities already on the list, according to a July 31 announcement.

With bi-partisan support, the Republican Congress passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act back in June and the measure has now become law. While the bill includes some good provisions like preventing large institutional investors from gobbling up single family homes, the legislation is chock full of provisions for developers and assistance to produce more allegedly “affordable housing.” The president and Members of Congress are right to acknowledge the real challenges younger Americans are facing in their attempts to achieve lifestyles similar to, if not better than, those of their parents’ generation.
For years, Washington let a critical federal healthcare program morph into something Congress never intended. What began as a lifeline for vulnerable patients has slowly become a multibillion-dollar windfall for powerful hospitals, with too little transparency, too little accountability, and far too many opportunities for abuse. Politicians ignored the warning signs for far too long. President Donald Trump is finally doing something about it. This week, the Trump administration unveiled a pilot program to modernize the 340B Drug Pricing Program — a commonsense reform that replaces automatic upfront discounts for hospitals with a rebate model for a limited number of drugs. The objective is simple:
The movement to ban Mayor Zohran Mamdani from this year’s 9/11 memorial ceremony at Ground Zero — marking the 25th anniversary of New York City’s darkest day — is mounting.
In less than three weeks, more than 62,000 people have signed the Change.org petition demanding Hizzoner skip the solemn event.
The mayor’s past remarks and associations with people openly hostile to the U.S. or scornful of the worst terror attack in American history has made his planned attendance a lightning rod for criticism, but he’s so far brushed off the growing chorus and pledges to be there.The petition lists many reasons for wanting to exclude Mamdani,
California Gov. Gavin Newsom allowed a select group of journalists to view his tax returns from 2021 through 2024 at his office on Thursday afternoon, and what's been reported about their contents so far isn't good for the 2028 presidential hopeful. According to reports from multiple outlets invited to view the returns, the Newsoms' income hasn't increased since the last time his returns were released, but Jennifer Siebel Newsom's for-profit company, Girls Club Entertainment, lost money all four years and didn't pay her a salary in 2023 or 2024.
A suspended state representative in Georgia has pleaded guilty in federal court to unemployment fraud dealings made during the COVID-19 pandemic era.
Sharon Henderson, the third official in a string of Georgia Democrats to plead guilty, admitted to fraudulent unemployment dealings resulting from the 2020 pandemic, collecting a total of $17,811.
“While running for and holding political office, Representative Henderson was fleecing taxpayers, lying to steal money from federal programs intended to help people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic,” U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg said in a press release.
“Her prosecution and conviction demonstrate that elected officials who enrich themselves through fraud will be held accountable for violating the public’s trust.”
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’t exactly known for her neutrality — quite the opposite, actually.
She’s infamous for using emotional arguments in her decisions and for her long-winded, loaded questions. As our Sister Toldjah reported in 2025, she often gets under the skin of even the other justices. “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” Barrett wrote about Jackson’s musings regarding a birthright citizen case.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) pushed back Thursday on claims made by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following the latest pounding by U.S. air power against Iranian targets on Wednesday.
CENTCOM used social media to respond to the latest three unsupportable claims by the IRGC.
“FIRST CLAIM: The IRGC (again) claims free and open routes through the Strait of Hormuz are dangerous for commercial vessels.
“FACT: The immediate dangers posed to commercial vessels and their civilian crews are the IRGC’s verbal threats and attempted attacks.
“SECOND CLAIM:
Ed Miliband has spent his career as one of the world’s most committed climate zealots, and he now finds himself installed as Foreign Secretary in Andy Burnham’s new government, personally taking up the United Kingdom’s seat as Governor of the World Bank. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office announced this week that the former Energy Secretary would personally occupy the United Kingdom’s seat as Governor of the World Bank, a job normally left to a junior minister, so that the “climate crisis” and overseas development sit at the very heart of British foreign policy.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stunned Republican senators on Wednesday when he refused to answer their questions about the COVID-19 pandemic by invoking his Fifth Amendment right at the start of a congressional hearing.
Unlike other instances of witnesses taking the Fifth, however, that wasn’t the end of the proceeding, as GOP and Democratic members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee continued quizzing Fauci for under four hours.
Republicans, led by Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.), demanded answers on the origins of the pandemic,
Advocates for voter ID in California have sued the state over altered ballot language for the November initiative.
The ballot initiative Proposition 39, which would amend the state constitution to require that voters provide government-issued identification to vote, originally included the description, “Establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements.”
However, last week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, changed the language to say: “Prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification.”
Plaintiffs supporting the passage of Proposition 39 say it would not “prohibit” any votes. Under federal law—the Help America Vote Act—voters can cast provisional ballots if there is a question about their eligibility.

Hunter Biden claimed under oath earlier this year that he's so broke he doesn't even own a car or a cellphone, and said his family is too strapped for cash to help him pay off millions in unpaid legal bills.
The former first son painted a bleak picture of his own and of Biden family finances during a Feb. 9 deposition in his legal battle with powerhouse law firm Winston Taylor, which sued Biden in June 2025 for allegedly stiffing the firm out of $17 million accrued from representing Biden in federal criminal cases, congressional investigations, and defamation lawsuits Biden brought against his enemies.

Catholic parish closures, consolidations

Nearly one in five Americans identifies as Catholic, yet many dioceses across the country have closed or consolidated parishes this year due to declining mass attendance, fewer people taking priestly vocations and rising maintenance costs.
The most intense reductions are occurring primarily in the Midwest and Northeast, specifically in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
A man who spent years trading on his father's name, collecting millions from foreign business deals, selling paintings to anonymous buyers, and leaning on a Hollywood fixer to cover his bills, now claims he cannot afford a car or a cell phone. Hunter Biden testified under oath that he owns no stocks, bonds, or savings account. His paintings, he said, are the only things he has left that might be worth anything.
The admissions came during a Feb. 9 deposition in Hunter Biden’s legal battle with Winston Taylor, formerly Winston & Strawn. His attorneys released the transcript while fighting the firm’s demand for communications involving people who may have been asked
Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente fueled online claims blaming Israel for Spain’s migrant crisis in the North African enclave of Ceuta on Friday after Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon criticized Madrid’s handling of the border emergency, escalating an already tense diplomatic dispute between Jerusalem and Spain. The exchange followed Danon’s criticism of Spain after Madrid declared a state of emergency and deployed military forces to Ceuta following an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing into the Spanish enclave from neighboring Morocco. Puente’s cryptic response helped fuel conspiracy theories circulating on Spanish social media alleging Israel — and in some cases the United States — was behind the crisis.
Tens of thousands of migrants, mostly young men, descended on Ceuta on Thursday, with shocking video showing people walking, swimming and scrambling over barriers into Spanish territory as Moroccan border guards appeared unable to stop them On Friday it was estimated that up to 60,000 Moroccans had arrived in Ceuta in the past 24 hours, encouraged by a ruling from Spain’s supreme court that those who swam into the city could not immediately be turned back. …
Groups of young men were seen wandering the territory’s streets, looking for food and water. The beaches were covered in floats, rubber rings and discarded clothing.
Seattle being Seattle, it was only a matter of time before a simple show of support for biological reality in women's sports sparked backlash. On Tuesday night, before the Indiana Fever faced the Seattle Storm, dozens rallied outside Climate Pledge Arena in support of Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. She had recently spoken out in favor of keeping men's sports separate from women's, a view rooted in basic biology and fairness. The fans carried signs and wore shirts affirming that stance. Inside the arena, two 16-year-old girls holding signs that read "Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls" found themselves targeted.
They gave him the Zo-ld shoulder.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani was snubbed from eulogizing Army Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad at the fallen soldier’s Queens funeral Friday — and the embarrassing scene unfolded in real time as he fumed while waiting in vain to give his speech, sources revealed.
Mamdani, who was relegated to the fourth row in the Ozone Park church, appeared to be reviewing his planned remarks on an iPad while Gov. Kathy Hochul and other dignitaries, including Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, were called to speak, a source in attendance said.
“They kept calling names and then he was never called,” the source said.

The Western world has spent decades being lectured about the glorious wonders and magic of mass migration.“Diversity is our strength” became the left’s go-to slogan that they used to shut down any legit questions about borders, assimilation, crime, social factors, and whether millions of people from radically different Muslim cultures could actually live in harmony with the Western world.Now, after so many disasters, soaring crime, and filth and decay, many people are now realizing the very hard way that it was never that simple, and that slogan has been a death sentence for the West.)snip)appreciating other cultures doesn’t mean we all sit here pretending we’re compatible.

Almost immediately after tens of thousands of Africans invaded the Spanish city of Ceuta, all hell broke loose, with chaos flooding the streets.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, European leaders are panicking over the chaos, with Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declaring that Spain is “under attack” after more than 50,000 Africans poured across the small city’s border.
The world is finally getting a wake-up call– years after watching tens of millions of violent criminals flood the United States to rape and pillage our country.
Video from the invasion on Thursday shows the thousands of military-aged African migrants, all men, pouring across the wide-open border.

You know that feeling that parents get when their kids are in another part of the house "playing" and are being entirely too quiet? There's always some sort of calamity or destruction awaiting discovery by mom or dad. That's the feeling Virginia conservatives have had after Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger's first six calamitous months in office. She's been staying suspiciously under the radar of late after getting the judicial smackdown on her attempts to gerrymander the congressional map and outlaw the sale of "automatic weapons" and high-capacity magazines.
Sure, she's been on social media patting herself on the back and taking credit for things that —
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) pointed to weaknesses in President Trump’s influence in Congress amid opposition from three outgoing Republican senators to the president’s nomination of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to a permanent role overseeing the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.), Bill Cassidy (La.) and John Cornyn (Texas) have all expressed skepticism about Blanche’s nomination amid questions about the status of a controversial “anti-weaponization fund” created under his watch.
