TRUMP’S NEW BIRTHRIGHT CRACKDOWN

President Trump isn’t taking “no” for an answer.

Weeks after the Supreme Court struck down his birthright citizenship order, Trump signed two new executive orders Thursday. 

The first expands the categories of people ineligible for automatic birthright citizenship, while the second directs his administration to shut down “birth tourism.”

“We’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair,” Trump said. “It’s a disgrace. They’re buying their way in, and we’re not going to let it happen.”

A White House official said the administration believes Trump’s new orders will survive legal challenges because Trump is using “legally validated means” for the crackdown.


FAUCI CAN’T HIDE ANYMORE

Dr. Fauci is beginning to face the music.

Sen. Rand Paul’s committee voted Thursday to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times at a hearing last week.

“Dr. Fauci faced no risk of federal prosecution,” Paul said Thursday. “All he had to do was tell the truth.”

But Fauci refused, and now the DOJ will get to decide if he faces criminal charges.

Meanwhile, RFK Jr.’s HHS handed Senate investigators a forensic copy of Fauci’s pandemic-era government phone, which Sen. Ron Johnson hopes “will address many of the questions” Fauci refused to answer last week.

 
 

TRUMP HUNTS THE LEAKERS

President Trump is correcting the record — and going on a hunt.

Multiple news outlets claimed this week that U.S. missile stockpiles have been depleted during the Iran conflict. But Trump says that’s not true.

In fact, the U.S. “has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’” Trump said, and “large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed.”

Then Trump sent a message to the people behind the reports.

“The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down,” he warned. “Long term jail sentences will be sought!”

 

THE 2020 HACK THEY BURIED

Democrats spent years insisting 2020 was the most secure election in history.

But newly declassified FBI documents released Thursday reveal a hacker exploited Maricopa County’s voter registration site to steal 633,000 voter records days before the 2020 election — roughly 930 of them containing sensitive, non-public data.

The suspect confessed to federal agents and admitted wiping the evidence. 

The FBI built the case and handed it to state and federal prosecutors, who declined to take action for unknown reasons. Biden’s FBI then closed the case in 2023.

 

MITCH MCCONNELL LEAVES REHAB

Mitch McConnell is heading home — but not to work.

The 84-year-old Kentucky senator announced Thursday that he’d been discharged from a rehab facility to recover at home. McConnell was hospitalized in June after a fall and bout with pneumonia. 

His office said little for weeks, fueling speculation about his condition before releasing photos to knock down claims that he was incapacitated.

McConnell said he will work from home as he continues to recover, but said nothing about returning to work in the Senate.
