Here's today's roundup. | Kamala Harris Reaffirms U.S. Support for Never-Ending War in Ukraine | Vice President Kamala Harris met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, denouncing proposals from some U.S. politicians that would require Ukraine to give up territory or accept neutrality as "dangerous and unacceptable" surrender plans. The meeting occurred amidst growing divisions within the Republican Party over continued support for Ukraine, with Harris and President Biden reiterating their commitment to aid Kyiv. Zelensky presented a "victory plan" during his visit to Washington, seeking increased arms shipments and permission for deeper strikes into Russia. The Biden administration announced $5.5 billion in new aid for Ukraine, including a Patriot defense battery and expanded F-16 pilot training.

The indictment details Adams’s alleged decade-long corruption, receiving gifts from foreign nationals, particularly from Turkish officials, in exchange for political favors, such as waiving inspections for the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan. Adams also allegedly manipulated the city's campaign matching funds program, creating false paper trails to cover up bribes and donations from foreign sources. Despite the charges, Adams denied wrongdoing, claiming he was being targeted for his criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis and stating he plans to continue serving as mayor.

| Eric Adams, the first sitting New York Mayor to be federally indicted, suggests the charges against him are related to his criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis. The relationship between Adams and Biden has deteriorated as Adams continued to criticize the president over the influx of over 210,000 migrants to New York since 2022. Donald Trump claimed he predicted Adams would be indicted due to his critical comments about migrants, suggesting political motivations behind the charges. Adams maintains that he has been fighting for New York City's interests in the face of what he perceives as inadequate federal support for the migrant crisis.

| The Secret Service was warned about a potential drone attack on former President Donald Trump by Iran more than a year before two assassination attempts in 2024, according to an agent's testimony to the Senate. The threats were linked to Iran's retaliation for the U.S. killing of General Qassem Soleimani in 2020, with Iran reportedly targeting Trump and other former U.S. officials such as Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. Concerns were raised when the Secret Service drone detection system was not operational during a July 2024 rally where Trump was targeted, despite knowledge of an active drone threat. The threats from Iran, including an animated video depicting drone strikes on Trump, have been publicized as part of Iran's "revenge" for Soleimani's death.

| A New York appeals court appeared open to reversing or reducing the $454 million civil fraud judgment against Donald Trump, which stemmed from a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump's legal team argued that the lawsuit stretched the limits of New York consumer protection laws and pointed out that no victims or complaints had been made by Trump's business lenders or insurers. The appeals court judges questioned whether the lawsuit had gone beyond its original scope and found the penalty "troubling," while the state argued there was sufficient evidence to support the fraud verdict. Trump's defense included claims that his financial statements were not materially misstated and that banks had performed their own appraisals, making the fraud accusations invalid.

Despite Bethlehem’s population being approximately one-third Hispanic, the rally failed to draw significant Latino participation, raising concerns for Harris’s campaign as she underperforms compared to Biden’s 2020 Latino support. Attendees expressed disappointment in the turnout, with some noting that the rally, which took place shortly after the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, had specifically been focused on the Latino community. Harris’s campaign acknowledged the importance of the Latino vote in a tight election and emphasized the need for stronger outreach efforts.

Vance Provided by Iran | Far-left blogger Ken Klippenstein published a hacked vetting dossier on Republican vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance, which included highly sensitive personal information such as his social security number, addresses, and contact details. The dossier, believed to have been hacked by Iran, includes standard campaign vetting information, noting concerns about Vance’s past opposition to Donald Trump and his conservative credentials. Despite media hype, the document itself does not contain any major revelations but highlights Vance as more moderate than portrayed by Democrats. The release of private details poses potential security risks to Vance and his family amid ongoing threats from Iran targeting former President Trump and his associates.

She elaborated that the phrase referred to those who are attracted to Trump's alleged bigotry, such as racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and suggested she might have gone even further in her criticism. Clinton noted that since her comments, events like Charlottesville and the January 6th Capitol protest have vindicated her assessment of some Trump supporters' extremism. She also reflected on the phrase becoming a badge of honor for Trump supporters while regretting that her broader comments, which reportedly included empathy for other disillusioned Trump voters, were overshadowed.

Local police have been understaffed, and the proposed funding aims to bolster law enforcement amid increasing reports of violent crime tied to the gangs. City councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has raised concerns about the gang’s presence in Aurora, though there is skepticism about whether the funding increase will effectively solve the problem. Immigration experts point out that identifying gang members from Venezuela is challenging due to poor diplomatic relations, leaving authorities with limited information on incoming individuals.

Leblanc criticized the international community, particularly the U.S., for inciting xenophobia during election campaigns and called for global solidarity in Haiti’s recovery. He emphasized that while the responsibility for Haiti's recovery lies with its people, foreign powers that played significant roles in Haiti’s history also share responsibility for its current crisis. Leblanc expressed support for a U.N. peacekeeping mission to combat Haiti’s gang violence and restore national security, framing the crisis as a global failure of justice and international cooperation.

In his speech at the U.N. General Assembly, Milei argued that the U.N. has strayed from its original mission of defending human rights and now promotes policies that violate individual rights, including global lockdowns and support for authoritarian regimes. Milei expressed opposition to the U.N.'s sustainability agenda, labeling it as part of a broader collectivist push that undermines economic freedom and imposes a global ideological conformity. He concluded by calling for a "freedom agenda" in place of the U.N.'s agenda, advocating for policies that respect national sovereignty and individual rights. Read More. | President Joe Biden may have just sunk Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign with comments made during a recent appearance on ABC’s “The View.” The doddering octogenarian president told the show’s hosts that he effectively gave Harris all the responsibilities of the presidency and that every disastrous policy decision he made was actually made by her. “As vice president, there wasn’t a single thing that I did that she couldn’t do,” Biden said. “So I was able to delegate her responsibility from foreign policy to domestic policy.” This is not a good look for Kamala. Set aside the very concerning fact that the sitting president of the United States long ago abdicated his responsibilities for a moment and focus on the political ramifications of this statement. The Harris-Walz campaign can no longer distance itself from Biden. It couldn’t effectively do so in the first place, but now it is completely impossible. Ever since Kamala announced her intent to replace Biden as the Democrats' presidential nominee, she tried to pass off the Biden-Harris administration’s failures as not her fault. From immigration and the border to energy production and health care, Kamala has flip-flopped on major policy issues, taking stances opposite to those she and the president have pursued over the last few years. Kamala is very aware that the Biden administration has been a failure, as are the American people. This is why she tried to run away from her record as vice president instead of campaigning on it. Now, she can no longer distance herself from it. Kamala’s record is Biden’s record. And the American people are likely going to reject her for it.
