President Trump announced Wednesday evening that he plans to nominate Todd Blanche, his onetime personal lawyer, to serve as attorney general.
Blanche has been the acting head of the Justice Department since April 2, when Trump elevated him from his deputy attorney general post after firing Pam Bondi.
White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino shared a video on X of Trump making the announcement during a private dinner in the Rose Garden. “Tomorrow I’m instructing Dan and everybody else that’s involved in that very complicated process, which is gonna go I think very quickly, that we are going to make [Blanche] permanent attorney general,” Trump said.
An NBC reporter abruptly pulled her microphone away from a supporter of Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt after he started to discuss in detail what he saw in the city.
During the network’s coverage of Tuesday’s primary elections, NBC’s Liz Kreutz interviewed a group of Pratt supporters about the former reality star possibly making it to the November runoff and asked what about his campaign was resonating with them. When one man mentioned Pratt not wanting “human feces to be a part of your life,” and not wanting homeless children outside, she thanked him and ended the interview.
Harley-Davidson hired a CEO and a Chief Brand Officer that have pushed “woke” initiatives in the past despite the motorcycle company’s vow to backtrack away from such policies.
The companies that Artie Starrs, now Harley-Davidson’s CEO, and Marcus Fischer, now Harley-Davidson’s chief brand officer, previously helped lead strongly promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies during their respective tenures, according to conservative activist Robby Starbuck.
Harley-Davidson hired both Starrs and Fischer in 2025, a year after the company said it would change such policies following significant backlash. In 2025, former CEO of Harley-Davidson, Jochen Zeitz, retired after he was accused of pushing a leftist political agenda and overseeing over a decline
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Breitbart News that it would be a “big, big, big deal” if President Donald Trump turned his gaze to finalizing the Washington Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo after he finishes his deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“If we’ll be able to reach a compromise, compromising solution, that would be a big, big, big deal,” Vucic told Breitbart News in a lengthy interview in his office when asked if Trump finishing the deal inked in his first term on the matter would be a big success for the American president. “Yeah.”
Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told.
It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama.
All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.
The Heritage Foundation released its version of Reconciliation 3.0, a new plan to end federal funding for abortion, combat fraud, and save America $1.5 trillion.
The leading conservative policy institute on Wednesday unveiled “Setting the American Opportunity Agenda,” a special budget and spending report for Congress, and House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is ready to act on it.
While the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” was successful, the GOP can save Americans even more money, and the foundation says its plan could be the answer.
The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted 215-208 to end the war with Iran.
This is the first time the House has voted to stop Trump’s military action in Iran.
Four Republicans voted with the Democrats: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson.
The resolution is likely dead on arrival in the Senate. If it passes the Senate, Trump will veto the resolution.
The Hill reported: House lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force President Trump to end the Iran War, marking a victory for Democrats and the constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal without explicit congressional approval.
The tally was 215-208, with four Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.),
Democrats in New Jersey just handed a primary win to Adam Hamawy, a candidate with actual ties to the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, which is credited with carrying out the attacks of 9/11.
This is in a district where Todd Beamer is buried. You may remember Todd Beamer as the airline passenger on Flight 93 who famously said “Let’s roll” as his last known words, referring to other passengers as they prepared to retake control of the plane, which crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania instead of somewhere in DC.
This is what Democrats have come to. Utterly shameful.
Democrat voters in New Jersey have chosen an al-Qaida-linked associate of the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to represent the state’s 12th Congressional District.
Dr. Adam Hamawy, a plastic surgeon and fierce opponent of Israel, won the Democrat primary Tuesday, securing the nomination to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D.).
Hamawy defeated a crowded field of 12 candidates, including establishment-backed opponents, with approximately 28 percent of the vote.
His victory was bolstered by endorsements from prominent anti-Israel leftists like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), “Squad” members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar —
Absolute Killer: More Rubio Jabs at Hearing

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday. You know that was likely to spark a storm of "performance theater" by the Democrats, peppering Rubio with questions that were outside the subject of the hearing.
But Rubio has shown that he's truly adept at dealing with these characters.
My colleague Bob Hoge reported earlier on Wednesday on how he sliced and diced Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36), who was trying to push a bizarre conspiracy about President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump "keeps going to hospitals" (he doesn't) and that no one has seen him in eight days (we see him all the time).
Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) suggested to a group of supporters that the 77 million+ Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are ignorant and ill-informed.
Murphy, the Deputy Democratic Conference Secretary who is said to be on the shortlist to one day replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in leading Senate Democrats, recently insulted millions of Americans by suggesting to Fox News that they are total rubes and “actually don’t know much,” living as zombies.
“There are lots of Trump voters who don’t know much about the facts,”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) walked into a budget hearing Wednesday thinking he could grandstand his way through an attack on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Instead, Wyden walked out looking like a fool.
The hearing was supposed to be about the federal budget, but Wyden, being a Democrat, had other plans. He opened with a broadside against President Donald Trump's administration, accusing it of "widespread corruption" and personally dragging Bessent into it. He also wanted to make Jeffrey Epstein the issue, because it’s pretty much the only play Democrats have, and it’s not even a good one.
House defies Trump admin and approves

war powers resolution to halt military
action against Iran replies
The House approved a war powers resolution Wednesday that would halt the US military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war that has reordered politics at home and abroad.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the war powers resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a quick resolution.
The roll call Wednesday was 215-208,
Mom’s not the word.
New York state Democrats passed a bill to erase words like “mother” and “father” from Family Court Law — in the latest gender-neutral rewriting in the state’s official records.
“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” and “paternity” proceedings would become “parentage” proceedings under the woke bill that was rammed through both houses of the state legislature this week. A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and goes to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.
Americans saving for retirement often follow the “buy and hold” strategy, urging them to block out the daily volatility of markets, stick to long-term investment plans, and avoid playing stockbroker. The stock market’s growth over the last 15-20 years proves why that approach makes sense despite financial crises, geopolitical conflict, and fiscal showdowns.
However, laws on the books in most states, if not properly reformed, could jeopardize the retirement nest eggs of those who saved and invested in a responsible manner. What very few Americans know is that their state government may have the legal right to undermine the “buy and hold” approach to saving. If you do not engage with
A man allegedly smuggled an explosive and other items into Sacramento International Airport in California on Saturday.
Federal prosecutors charged Kimani Osayande Jones, also known as Kimani Osayande Jackson, Tuesday with “unlawfully possessing explosive material in an airport,” according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California. U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced the charges. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) authorities halted Jones around 9 p.m. while he was passing through a checkpoint to reach an aircraft, according to court documents. The 49-year-old Sacramento resident allegedly wore latex gloves and had covered his face with a scarf.
Jones allegedly hid an M-type explosive device in
Two men in Florida have been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Republican gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds. One man was identified as Dominic M. Ambrosia, 30, from Port Charlotte. The other was identified as Daniel Eberly, 43, of Cape Coral. Ambrosia had written on X in response to a post talking about Donalds, "I'm going to kill him! Thanks Mr. President," per ABC 25. The post was about an endorsement of Donalds from President Donald Trump. After detectives identified X account, they discovered other concerning material
Even the left-wing Guardian is laughing out loud at Barry Obama’s ugly-a** monument to himself.
“‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library,” reads the headline, and the mockery doesn’t stop there.
We’re about two weeks away from this Chicago-based monstrosity opening to the public, and the Guardian, which I’m sure the Obama folks expected to be friendly, was not terribly impressed. Here are some highlights from their coverage:
“He might have seemed humble in office, but in his post-presidential, Netflix-producing afterlife, Obama has erected the largest, costliest and most audacious complex of them all,” the report explains. “Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or,
The Democratic nominee to represent New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District in the House of Representatives, Rebecca Bennett, said she "stopped going to church" because she could not sit in a room "full of people who voted for Trump," audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
At a campaign event in February, a woman asked Bennett, "I loved hearing you say that you're a patriot, but what are you going to do about that being a right-coded way of presenting yourself?" Bennett responded with a story about how she stopped attending church services because she could not bear to be around people who voted for President Donald Trump.
A crew of Uzbek wannabe mobsters was busted Wednesday for swiping $4.5 million of cigarettes, high-end cheese and other goodies from warehouses across the Northeast — in a scheme straight out of “Goodfellas,” The Post has learned.
Crew leader Murad Khasanov and his cronies allegedly used a modern twist on an old-school mob heist — hacking into computer networks and creating forged invoices to convince warehouse workers to simply hand them the haul without ever needing to point a gun, law enforcement sources said.
When they weren’t hitting the road in trucks full of cigarettes, seafood, pricey cheese, meat and copper wires, Khasanov and his partners allegedly lived the high life
Federal agents, in a daring predawn raid Wednesday, pounced on the opulent, $35 million Newport Beach mansion of an Iranian tech boss charged with supplying US computer hardware to Iran’s military and nuclear programs.
The California Post was there as the FBI arrested Jamshid Ghomi, 63, of Newport Coast, who was charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and is expected to appear Wednesday afternoon in Santa Ana federal court.
The businessman, who is a dual citizen of Iran and the US, is accused of selling computer hardware to the Iranian government for use in its military and nuclear operations. Prosecutors allege Ghomi made millions on those deals
The Southern Poverty Law Center paid reluctant white nationalists and Ku Klux Klan members thousands of dollars in donor money to remain in the notorious hate groups — even making them whole for money spent on cross-burnings, the Justice Department alleged in a stunning superseding indictment filed Tuesday.
The feds initially charged the once-venerable civil rights organization in April with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and money laundering conspiracy. Tuesday’s superseding indictment, filed in Montgomery, Ala., federal court, lays out some of the stories of informants who were paid in money the SPLC raised from donors on the pretext of “exposing hate and injustice” and
New reports say former Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, is under investigation for alleged hijinks on prediction markets.
According to CNN, which cited sources it did not name, the Justice Department and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission are taking a look at activity by Santos on the prediction site Kalshi in the context of whether he would appear at the State of the Union address this year.
As recounted by NPR, the saga began in February, when Santos wrote on X one day before the address that he would be attending the speech by President Donald Trump. At the time, NPR noted, millions of dollars’ worth of bets
