What to know POSSIBLE PEACE TALKS: President Donald Trump has sounded positive about new peace talks despite uncertainty over Tehran's participation. "We’re going to end up with a great deal," Trump said this morning, adding that Iran had "no choice" but to send a delegation to Pakistan. Vice President JD Vance will likely head to Islamabad today, a source told NBC News. IRAN WON'T NEGOTIATE 'UNDER THREAT': Trump also said that he was ready to resume bombing if talks don't go well as tomorrow’s ceasefire deadline looms. Iran's top negotiator warned it will not negotiate "under the shadow of threat" and has prepared "new cards

WASHINGTON — The Southern Poverty Law Center says it’s the subject of a criminal investigation by the Justice Department and faces possible charges over its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups. The civil rights group made the announcement on Tuesday, saying President Donald Trump’s administration appears to be preparing legal action against it or some of its employees. “Although we don’t know all the details, the focus appears to be on the SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups,” CEO Bryan Fair said in a statement. The Justice Department had no immediate comment.

Washington — Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida resigned from Congress on Tuesday, moments before the House Ethics Committee was set to determine whether she should be sanctioned for allegations of theft and other misconduct. Cherfilus-McCormick has been charged with stealing nearly $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds for her campaign and has pleaded not guilty. She was likely to be expelled from the House in the coming days if she had not resigned. "This was not a fair process," Cherfilus-McCormick said in a statement. "Rather than play these political games, I choose to step away so that I can devote my time to fighting for my neighbors

US forces have boarded an oil tanker previously sanctioned for smuggling Iranian crude oil in Asia, the Pentagon said Tuesday, as it puts into place a global warning to track down vessels tied to Tehran.

The US military will decide in the next four days what to do with the vessel,
New House Report Details ActBlue’s ‘Illicit
Foreign Donations’ And A ‘Cover-Up’

The leftists at ActBlue got some ’splainin’ to do. Of course, that’s hard to do when you’re taking the Fifth. The Democrats’ favorite — and allegedly crooked — fundraising platform is under greater scrutiny in the latest joint interim staff report from the House’s Administration, Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Committees. The report, “Fraud on ActBlue, Part II: Illicit Foreign Donations and a Cover-Up Spur Mass Resignations and Firings on ActBlue’s Legal and Compliance Team,” sheds more light on the criminally suspect practices of the left-wing fundraising titan. It’s really illegal to accept political contributions from foreign entities and individuals.
There’s a shift unfolding in the Swamp,

Thanks to the Dems soft-on-crime agenda, many Americans have been convinced that crime, chaos, and disorder were just facts of modern city life. Part and parcel, right? We were told to lower our expectations, accept the decay, and pretend that pesky “root causes” mattered more than actually putting away criminals and protecting decent people who are just trying to live their livesBut what’s happening in the Swamp right now blows a hole straight through that whole left-wing scam. Because the truth is pretty simple… when leadership gets serious about crime, things change fast. And whether the media likes to admit it or not, President Trump deserves a whole lot of credit

WASHINGTON — ActBlue employees invoked their Fifth Amendment right at least 146 times in depositions with congressional committees investigating alleged donor fraud on the fundraising platform, according to an explosive report released Monday. Two ActBlue officials, one of whom formerly served as VP of customer service, and three of its former lawyers “declined to answer a single one of the Committees’ substantive questions,” stated the interim staff report from the House Administration, Oversight and Judiciary Committees. “Their unwillingness to testify only amplifies the Committees’ concerns,” t

Obama calls Newsom’s approach to combat redistricting ‘responsible’ABC News’ Gio Benitez is joined by California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis to weigh in on Gov. Gavin Newsom's efforts to draw new congressional maps in California. Former President Barack Obama called on Virginians to vote in favor of a redistricting measure that could give Democrats a boost in the 2026 midterms if it passes. "By voting yes, you can push back against the Republicans trying to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterms," Obama said in the video shared with ABC News. "By voting yes, you can take a temporary step to level the playing field. And we're counting on you."

WFAA has released harrowing bodycam footage from the Antifa terrorist attack on the Prairieland ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, in July 2025. A police officer was shot in the neck during the coordinated ambush.  “I do not consent to a search,” one of the Antifa terrorists said after being arrested after the shooting. “You ain’t gotta consent to a goddamn thing!” an officer responded back. “F— around and find out today.” (This full exchange is not included in the edited video.)

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has fiercely denied accusations that he deliberately misled lawmakers over his appointment of former U.K. ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson. "No, I did not mislead the House of Commons. I accept that information that I should have had, and information that the House should have had should have been before the House, but I did not mislead the House," Starmer said Monday when asked if he "inadvertently misled” the lower house of parliament.The rousing session in Westminster unfolded amid mounting calls for Starmer—the leader of the ruling Labour Party—to resign,

Leaks, probably from individuals just starting to receive subpoenas, are now quickly making their way to the media. The goal seems to be to rally as much corporate media support as possible, with a subtle push to initiate an Alinsky process. The media’s formerly predictable compliance toward generating a needed Alinsky lawfare strategy is, however, made more complicated by the recent purchases of several major corporate media conglomerates by Larry and David Ellison. A shifted tone, that can be noted, is in the responsive outcome of the leak received by CBS News:

A formal announcement is likely tomorrow; however, leading information now affirms Acting AG Todd Blanche is moving Joe DiGenova and Christopher-James DeLorenz into positions in South Florida to assist U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones in ongoing investigation of the Donald Trump targeting. The venue puts any grand jury information in the court orbit of Judge Aileen Cannon. (snip) the alignment here is critical to understand. Judge Cannon saw firsthand exactly what the Lawfare constructs consist of when she had the Jack Smith operation in her court during the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Judge Cannon knows the context of weaponized justice and saw the techniques through first-hand experience.
