In a suspected cyberattack, a shadowy hacking collective has reportedly published the personal information of hundreds of U.S. federal employees, including agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the FBI.
The leak, first reported by <a href="https://www.404media.co/hackers-dox-hundreds-of-dhs-ice-fbi-and-doj-officials/">404 Media</a>, allegedly includes sensitive personal data such as full names, office addresses, and in some cases, home addresses. More than 680 DHS officials, 190 DOJ staff, and 170 FBI employees were affected. Some of the data was shared via encrypted messaging apps like Telegram, where hackers openly mocked their targets and even referenced bounties allegedly offered by Mexican cartels for information on federal agents.
“Mexican Cartels hmu we dropping all the doxes,” one hacker posted, appearing to demand “1m” dollars in exchange for the data. Another post provocatively asked, “U guys want IRS next?” suggesting further leaks may be forthcoming.
The perpetrators behind this breach are believed to be part of a larger, loosely affiliated cybercrime community referred to as “The Com.” This sprawling collective includes members of several groups, such as Scattered Spider, 0ktapus, and LAPSUS$, which have been behind major ransomware and data theft campaigns targeting companies like MGM Resorts, Coinbase, and Twilio.
These groups are “some of the most infamous English-speaking hacking groups operating today,” <a href="https://mashable.com/article/hacker-group-doxxes-ice-fbi-doj-agents">according</a> to Mashable.
The Com has become known for recruiting minors and young adults — often English-speaking teens — and leveraging their knowledge of Western systems and social engineering tactics. This group operates in digital subcultures that glorify online crime, where members boast about scams and violent tactics, including swatting, “brickings” (hiring people to vandalize homes), and robberies.

Scattered Spider, one of the arms of The Com, has reportedly <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/23/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-scattered-spider-hackers/">collaborated</a> with Russian ransomware gangs like ALPHV/BlackCat. These partnerships blend Western hackers’ fluency in English and social manipulation with the Russians’ technical tools and experience in laundering ransom payments. Their alliance was behind the devastating $100 million <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scattered-spider-blackcat-hackers-ransomware-team-up-60-minutes/">ransomware attack</a> on MGM Resorts in 2023.
According to experts, this doxing incident marks a shift from financially motivated ransomware to direct, politically charged attacks on U.S. government personnel. It also comes amid ongoing concerns from cybersecurity officials that groups like the Com represent an escalating national security threat, especially when working with foreign adversaries.
Authorities have arrested several individuals connected to the Com and its subgroups, including a 17-year-old in the UK and several Americans in their early 20s. However, many remain at large, and experts warn that the decentralized nature of these groups — operating across encrypted apps and online gaming platforms — makes them exceptionally difficult to dismantle.
As investigations continue, cybersecurity experts caution that this leak could lead to real-world harm against federal employees and may signal a broader trend of hackers weaponizing personal data for political, ideological, or financial gain.

Daily Wire hosts discussed Generation Z’s apparent rejection of radical gender theories during the premiere of &#8220;Friendly Fire&#8221; on DailyWire+ Thursday night, debating whether the young generation is headed in a positive direction.
Daily Wire host Michael Knowles kicked off the segment on transgenderism by citing a recent study from the University of Buckingham on &#8220;The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans.&#8221; The study showed that in the past two years, there has been a steady decline among undergrad students who identify as &#8220;nonbinary.&#8221;
Knowles kicked it over to the newest Daily Wire host, Isabel Brown, asking, &#8220;Isabel, I need to know: is your generation not gay anymore?&#8221;
Twenty-eight-year-old Brown, who wrote the book, &#8220;The End of the Alphabet: How Gen Z Can Save America,&#8221; replied, saying, “I have been trying to warn the world that Gen Z, the kids, were alright for a very long time. Literally a year and a half ago, I was laughed off set at every TV station, every radio station, every podcast when I presented my book that Gen Z was going to save America — that no one wanted to be a lame gay chick that Disney wanted us to be.&#8221;
&#8220;None of the information out of this new study shocks me,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The idea of the cultural fad of the transgender cult … has already been disillusioned thanks to people boldly speaking the truth.&#8221;

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh, whose documentary &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman">What is a Woman?</a>&#8221; helped spark the nationwide pushback on radical gender theory, warned people not to put too much stock in the University of Buckingham, adding that radical gender identities are still more popular among Gen Z than any other generation. Walsh, however, said that he does believe studies and anecdotal observations show &#8220;the trans and &#8216;nonbinary&#8217; thing is declining, it&#8217;s losing steam.&#8221;
&#8220;And that was inevitable and the reason why is because no one ever really believed it to begin with,&#8221; Walsh added.
Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters. Go to <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/">DailyWire.com/Subscribe</a> to join now.
He argued that the culture has shifted in recent years, and people are no longer afraid to speak out about the insanity of the transgender identity.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not surprised that we&#8217;re seeing this trend. I don&#8217;t know that we&#8217;re going to see it extend over to homosexuality, but I do think that with trans and &#8216;nonbinary&#8217; that it&#8217;s on its way out,&#8221; Walsh said.
Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan said that he agrees with Brown that Gen Z &#8220;will actually save the world.&#8221;
&#8220;They are not the way the two generations between the Boomers and them are,&#8221; Klavan said. &#8220;They aren&#8217;t hostile, women dress like women, the men look perfectly comfortable being men, they don&#8217;t radiate the same kind of hostility that I get from the people who are around like 50. Somehow feminism seems to have lost its grip on them, and they seem just much more comfortable in their skins, so I&#8217;m hopeful.&#8221;
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro chimed in, saying that transgenderism became the &#8220;ultimate victimhood status,&#8221; but now that victimhood status is going out of vogue.
&#8220;The victimhood status went away because of things like what Matt did and what we did, obviously, here at The Daily Wire over the course of the last ten years, and sanity reasserted itself,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;And you&#8217;re no longer considered an inherent victim because you&#8217;re a man who claims to be a woman, or the opposite. In fact, in some cases, you may in fact be an aggressor as we have seen from time to time.&#8221;
Shapiro, however, was not optimistic about the future of Gen Z and warned that many young Americans would move on from radical gender theory and adopt full-blown Marxism, finding their identity in their perceived economic disadvantages. After finding victimhood status in race and sex, Gen Z will move to financial situation, Shapiro argued.
&#8220;I&#8217;m optimistic that people are going to move away from crazier, &#8216;I&#8217;m sexually identifying as a cat&#8217; routine, but I think they are going to increasingly identify as somehow economically dispossessed and then call for massive government interventionism, which is mostly what the [Zohran] Mamdani moment is about,&#8221; Shapiro continued.
&#8220;And that, by the way, is what you&#8217;re seeing mostly in the polls for young people,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Young people are increasingly hot on socialism and communism, they&#8217;re increasingly hot on massive government interventionism, they don&#8217;t really like capitalism very much, so I think that the next victimhood status is going to go back to classic Marx victimhood status.&#8221;

In the digital age, censorship is the central tool of authoritarianism.
Sadly, that became the story in the United States, where an unholy alliance of government, social media platforms, and corporations conspired to control what information reached the American public.
That’s the story laid out in <a href="https://bigpicturestream.com/god-complex">God Complex</a>, a new documentary from Big Picture Originals that sheds light on the extent to which the censorship machine took hold of society.
The film, set to premiere on Thursday night, features testimony from experts such as Mike Benz, one of the leading crusaders against censorship, top journalists like John Solomon and Peter Schweizer, and Xi Van Fleet, who warns of the parallels between our current moment and the censorship effort in Mao’s China.
The film traces the beginning of the censorship effort to President Donald Trump’s first election in 2016, in which he won by dominating social media and the digital space in a way that had never been seen before in politics. The response to his triumph was to control information in a way that had never been attempted before, by creating labels like “disinformation” and “misinformation.”
Those labels, the same labels used by despots like Joseph Stalin, would be leveled against political commentators and news outlets — including The Daily Wire — to control information. It was irresponsible, for example, to let Americans hear information about COVID-19 that may have been counter to what the government wanted them to believe. Or to let Big Tech companies serve Americans with news stories from outlets that were challenging these government narratives.
The Daily Wire has been at the forefront of the fight against what Benz calls the Censorship Industrial Complex. On many fronts, that complex is being torn down — at least temporarily.
In the wake of the 2024 election, Facebook <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/massive-maga-win-facebook-reverses-its-censorship">announced</a> that it would end all its censorship practices, which were pushed on it by the Biden administration and were leveled against The Daily Wire harder than anyone.
“In 2021, our impressions from my personal page, which was likely the most prominent page on Facebook, went from a whopping one billion impressions a month to less than 100 million impressions a month — a 90% reduction in impressions in reach,” Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro explained this year. “That was a deliberate move by Facebook to crush political content on the platform in 2021.”
YouTube, which not only suppressed videos but also kicked many off its platform entirely for misinformation, said it would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-celebrates-youtube-ending-conservative-censorship-a-win-for-free-expression">no longer censor conservatives</a>. Like Facebook, it said it was pressured to do so by the Biden administration. Twitter’s censorship became so bad that billionaire<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-officially-takes-over-twitter-as-sale-is-now-final-top-execs-fired-report-says"> Elon Musk had to buy the platform</a> and rebrand it as X.
The censorship regime also extended into the advertising industry, which colluded to keep ad dollars away from companies spreading so-called disinformation. It created the label “brand safety” and used it as another way to control speech.
Shapiro <a href="https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/117518/witnesses/HHRG-118-JU00-Wstate-ShapiroB-20240710-U9.pdf">testified</a> about the practice before Congress, and now that effort is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftist-censorship-cartel-garm-disbands-following-musk-lawsuit-ben-shapiro-testimony">on its deathbed</a> as well.
The film argues that the book on the censorship industrial complex will never be closed. We are always one election away from another round of backdoor censorship attempts. We didn’t know Facebook was being pushed to censor conservatives, it’s worth mentioning, until years after it happened.
“Once you get into the business of having a government tell people what they can&#8217;t say, there&#8217;s almost never a case where that turns back,” Mike Benz said in an interview after the premiere.
The film premieres at 8 p.m. on Thursday.

LIVE UPDATES: Charlie Kirk’s College Campus Tour Lives On, With Michael Knowles

Two children were killed and at least 17 people were wounded when a shooter opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning.
The gunman, who was in his early 20s, is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O&#8217;Hara. During a press conference after the shooting, O&#8217;Hara said that the two children who were killed were ages 8 and 10. The shooter fired through church windows during school Mass, striking children and worshipers. The students were attending Mass at the Catholic church next to the school when the shooter opened fire.
The shooter was identified as Robin Westman, according to <a href="https://x.com/peterjhasson/status/1960758053625627109">multiple</a> <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/27/us-news/minneapolis-catholic-school-gunman-idd-as-robin-westman-while-possible-manifesto-shows-psychotic-obsession-with-mass-shooters/">reports</a>. In 2020, Westman reportedly <a href="https://x.com/peterjhasson/status/1960758053625627109">changed</a> his name from Robert to Robin because he &#8220;identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification,&#8221; according to a Minnesota government document shared online by Washington Free Beacon Editor Peter J. Hasson. Since Westman was a minor at the time of the name change, his mother had to sign the application.
The shooter was carrying a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, and killed himself after firing &#8220;dozens of rounds&#8221; at innocent children, according to O&#8217;Hara. Police believe the shooter fired all three weapons. The shooter barricaded the students and staff in the church by placing a wooden plank against some of the side doors, in an attempt to prevent them from fleeing, O&#8217;Hara said.
The police chief added that 17 other people were wounded in the shooting, 14 of whom were children. One adult and six children are in critical condition, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08/27/us/minneapolis-church-shooting/4bb55715-d5ea-591a-8eb6-cbd06d35e4b2?smid=url-share">according</a> to the Hennepin County Medical Center.
President Donald Trump said that he had been briefed on the shooting.
&#8220;The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115101274999111772">wrote</a> on Truth Social. &#8220;The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!&#8221;
The Richfield Police Department, which neighbors Minneapolis, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RichfieldPD/">said</a>, &#8220;Police are responding to an active shooter call. Officers are reporting 20 victims. A man dressed in all black and armed with a rifle was reported at the scene. EMS has requested a Mass Casualty Response and fire crews are bringing in additional resources.&#8221;

President Donald Trump forcefully shot down a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday night claiming that he wrote a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that included a sketch of a naked woman, saying he&#8217;d sue the outlet for claiming otherwise.
&#8220;This is not me,&#8221; Trump told the outlet. &#8220;This is a fake thing.&#8221;
He followed that up with a lengthy statement a few hours after its publication, stating that the paper&#8217;s owner Rupert Murdoch and editor-in-chief Emma Tucker were &#8220;warned directly&#8221; by Trump that the letter &#8220;was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump will be suing the Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly,&#8221; Trump said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The Wall Street Journal article claimed that it had obtained a &#8220;letter bearing Trump&#8217;s name&#8221; that was included in a birthday book created for Epstein. It claims that the letter was part of a leather-bound album, and that Trump framed his letter within &#8220;the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker.&#8221;
Notably, the paper did not include an image of the letter it claimed to have reviewed. It says the letter was part of the trove of Department of Justice papers that have come to be known as the &#8220;Epstein files.&#8221; Neither the DOJ nor the FBI responded to its requests for comment, it disclosed.
Trump has sought to shut down furor surrounding the Epstein disclosures, which started when the DOJ announced nearly two weeks ago that there would be no major release pertaining to Epstein. It also announced that there was no &#8220;client list&#8221; and concluded that there was no evidence calling into question Epstein&#8217;s suicide.
After lashing out at the Wall Street Journal article, Trump publicly stated that he&#8217;d asked his attorney general, Pam Bondi, to release &#8220;any and all&#8221; pertinent Grand Jury testimony on Epstein that a court would allow.
Bondi said she was &#8220;ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Trump has already said that he asked Bondi to release any credible evidence on Epstein to the public.
Trump&#8217;s initial post refuting the Wall Street Journal&#8217;s report argues that if the letter was genuine, there is no chance it wouldn&#8217;t have &#8220;been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical left Lunatics years ago.&#8221;
All of the documents in question were in the government&#8217;s possession during the Biden administration.
&#8220;It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for &#8216;TRUMP&#8217; to have won three Elections,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!&#8221;
While it is well-documented that Trump and Epstein were friendly when they both lived in New York City, there is no evidence that Trump was involved in any of Epstein&#8217;s criminal wrongdoing. Epstein was not accused of sexual relations with young girls until 2006, years after the two had a falling out.
Though headlines on Epstein have driven the news cycle for the last week, with many right-wing commentators and influencers criticizing Trump&#8217;s handling of the situation, it appears to have had no standing on Trump&#8217;s voters. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/x-isnt-real-life-cnn-data-guru-throws-wet-blanket-on-dem-plans-to-leverage-epstein-drama?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=11&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=%E2%80%98X+Isn%E2%80%99t+Real+Life%E2%80%99%3A+CNN+Data+Guru+Throws+Wet+Blanket+On+Dem+Plans+To+Leverage+Epstein+Drama">Polling shows</a> that Trump&#8217;s approval rating has gone up with Republican voters since the Epstein announcement.

Speaker Mike Johnson has President Donald Trump&#8217;s signature bill at the finish line.
During a marathon overnight session that at times appeared doomed, Republicans voted 219-213 at about 3:30 a.m. to send the bill to a final vote.
The late hour was not due to procedure, but rather indecision on the Republican side of the aisle. After five Republicans voted against the rule to proceed, coupled with a handful of Republicans who were holding out, Johnson had to scramble to not only find votes, but also get Republicans to switch theirs.
Just before midnight, Johnson said he would hold the vote open for as long as it needed, and started to whip votes, with a helping hand from Trump.
&#8220;Largest Tax Cuts in History and a Booming Economy vs. Biggest Tax Increase in History, and a Failed Economy,&#8221; Trump posted as the legislation stalled. &#8220;What are Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY.&#8221;
Eventually, Johnson got enough votes to the House floor — and convinced one of the opponents, Kentucky&#8217;s Thomas Massie — to vote in favor of the rule. Johnson told reporters that Trump was intimately involved with getting the vote across the finish line, following the play-by-play as he whipped votes.
The final hurdle is a speech by the House&#8217;s top Democrat, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who began speaking just after the rule passed and, hours later, is still going. Though some expected him to speak for roughly an hour, Jeffries said in his speech: &#8220;I&#8217;m planning to take my sweet time.&#8221;
Jeffries is permitted to speak for as long as he wants, though all he can do is delay the vote, not stop a final vote from occurring. He&#8217;s filling his speech with testimonials from Americans on Medicaid and other social welfare programs that Democrats say would be imperiled by Trump&#8217;s spending legislation.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
Johnson had estimated that the final vote would take place at 8:30 a.m., but Jeffries was still going as the hour passed. Still, he appears set to meet Trump&#8217;s Independence Day deadline by a full day.
Passing the &#8220;One, Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; — which includes not only a major tax cut championed by Trump but also funds his biggest campaign promises — would be a major victory for the president. He had urged Republicans in Congress to put all of their priorities into one piece of legislation, and has been intimately involved in getting it through with narrow majorities in both chambers.
Trump says his legislation, which has been criticized by even some of his allies for not doing enough to reduce the deficit, will lead to unprecedented economic growth.

“Nobody wants to talk about GROWTH, which will be the primary reason that the Big, Beautiful Bill will be one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever passed,” the president said on Wednesday. “THIS GROWTH has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of Dollars are now being invested into the USA, more than ever before.”
“Likewise,” he added, “hundreds of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs are filling up the coffers of Treasury. The Tariff money has already arrived and is setting new records! We are growing our way out of the Sleepy Joe Biden MESS that he and the Democrats left us, and it is happening much faster than anyone thought possible.”
As of 9:00 a.m., Jeffries was still talking on the House floor and again stated his intention to take his time. Vice President JD Vance wrote on X that Republicans who have been there overnight are falling further in line as they listen to his opposition.
&#8220;GOP Congressman just texted me: &#8216;I was undecided on the bill but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance and now I’m a firm yes,'&#8221; Vance wrote.
Trump in a Thursday morning post indicated that he was pleased with the effort to get things to the finish line.
&#8220;What a great night it was,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;One of the most consequential bills ever.&#8221;

President Donald Trump signaled on Friday that the United States has no choice but to acquire Greenland from Denmark for national security reasons.
The president doubled down on his push for the island nation while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office — just a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Trump was dead serious about taking over the island.
&#8220;We need Greenland very importantly, for international security, we have to have Greenland,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not a question of, &#8216;Do you think we can do without it?&#8217; We can&#8217;t. If you look at Greenland right now, if you look at the waterways, you have Chinese and Russian ships all over the place, and we&#8217;re not going to be able to do that. We&#8217;re not relying on Denmark or anybody else to take care of that situation.&#8221;
&#8220;And we&#8217;re not talking about peace for the United States,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We&#8217;re talking about world peace. We&#8217;re talking about international security. And right now, you look at it, you have warships all over the place going through right along Greenland. We&#8217;re not going to let that happen. We cannot let that happen, or if it&#8217;s going to happen, we have to be protective of our country.&#8221;
The president said that &#8220;modern day weaponry&#8221; made Greenland &#8220;very important&#8221; from a strategic defense standpoint.
&#8220;If you notice, also some of those, you could call them roadways, they&#8217;re water roadways, but some of those areas are opening up and they&#8217;re opening up,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Ice breakers out there, they&#8217;re opening them. And by just nature, they&#8217;re opening up and they&#8217;re headed right into China, right into Russia, and we have no choice.&#8221;

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) was grilled during an interview on Friday for calling on Trump defense officials to resign over their use of a Signal chat group given that he never called for Biden defense officials to resign when they had major screwups.
Coons made the remarks on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box&#8221; when pressed by co-host Joe Kernen over his calls for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to resign while he remained silent during the Biden years with regard to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
&#8220;Did you call for Lloyd Austin&#8217;s resignation?&#8221; Kernen asked. &#8220;Not only did we lose 13 service members, we left $70 billion worth of equipment that fell into the hands of the Taliban. Couple of years later, he was out of pocket for two weeks and didn&#8217;t tell the White House.&#8221;
&#8220;Did you ask for him to resign at this point?&#8221; he pressed. &#8220;Are you actually asking for Hegseth and Waltz to resign when you didn&#8217;t ask for Lloyd Austin?&#8221;
Coons claimed that Austin not do anything that put United States national security at risk by getting health care treatment despite not notifying anyone about his hospitalization and surgery for cancer.
&#8220;What about Afghanistan? What about Afghanistan?&#8221; Kernen pressed. &#8220;Did you guys forget that? Is the statute of limitations is over for 4 years?&#8221;
Coons ignored the question and instead continued to talk about Austin&#8217;s surgery for cancer.
Kernen continued to press Coons about Afghanistan, noting that in the past, he had referred to Biden&#8217;s disastrous withdraw as a success.
&#8220;Afghanistan was not a success,&#8221; Kernen said.
Coons continued to deflect by starting to talk about the Houthis.
&#8220;I am not saying that the attack on the Houthis was not a success,&#8221; Coons said. &#8220;I am saying that he demonstrably violated a directive that was just shared in the Pentagon about don&#8217;t use Signal for classified information, it is not reliably secure. And one of the folks on that group chat was in Russia at the time that that information being &#8212; look, all of us use apps like WhatsApp and Signal.&#8221;
Kernen called out Coons for deflecting: &#8220;You&#8217;re running out the clock on Afghanistan.&#8221;
Coons then proceeded to blame President Donald Trump for Biden&#8217;s disaster, even though he admitted that actions that were taken under Biden&#8217;s leadership were &#8220;badly handled.&#8221;
When asked if he should have called for Austin to resign over the debacle, Coons responded: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know whether Lloyd Austin is the person who should have been held accountable for it, but there should have been accountability.&#8221;

Liberal comedian Bill Maher said this week that he has accepted an invitation from President Donald Trump to have a private dinner at the White House because he believes it could help heal political divisions in the country.
Maher made the remarks during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo when asked about the response he has gotten since accepting the invite.
&#8220;Maybe this is a beginning to heal America,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;Now, I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America. I can’t. Okay, let’s get that clear. I’m not going to be healing America. But if two guys who’ve been at each other for so long — I mean, it’s kind of a Nixon to China thing.&#8221;
&#8220;I have the credentials,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;There was nobody who was harder on Trump or more prescient about the fact that he wasn’t going to leave office voluntarily than I was. I feel like I have the credentials. But they also respect me because I’m honest about the woke train to crazy town. And I don’t shrink from that. And I’ve also lost a lot of fans for that. The woke people have left the building and I’m willing to make that sacrifice, but it does give you a certain credibility.&#8221;
He said that regardless of who the president is, it&#8217;s &#8220;an honor to be invited to the White House.&#8221;
&#8220;And I’ve already had a couple of people who I said to them, you know, I’m just gonna take it as a backhanded compliment that you glide right past the idea that little Bill Maher from River Vale, New Jersey, just a humble kid from the suburbs was invited for a private dinner at the White House,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You glide right past that to how dare you talk to him and that you’re not impressed by it at all.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m impressed by it a lot,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I’m impressed the f*** out of it. I get to go to the White House and, yes, that is the structure of this dinner is just, let’s talk. Let’s talk to each other face to face. Let’s not stop shouting from 3,000 miles away, you know? So if they expect me to be leaving in a MAGA hat, they’re gonna be very disappointed, but I know they don’t. And I think it’s gonna be, you know, look, it probably will accomplish very little, but you gotta try, man. You gotta try.&#8221;

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) offered Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) a seat back at the leadership table after the Trump administration withdrew her nomination for U.N. Ambassador over concerns about House Republicans&#8217; narrow majority in Congress.
&#8220;There is no doubt she would have served with distinction as our ambassador to the United Nations, but we are grateful for her willingness to sacrifice that position and remain in Congress to help us save the country,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;I will invite her to return to the leadership table immediately.&#8221;
He said that Stefanik agreeing to give up her nomination for the sake of helping the team showed that she was a &#8220;devoted patriot&#8221; and &#8220;deeply devoted to her country and fully committed to see President Trump’s agenda succeed in Congress.&#8221;
&#8220;It is well known Republicans have a razor-thin House majority, and Elise’s agreement to withdraw her nomination will allow us to keep one of the toughest, most resolute members of our Conference in place to help drive forward President Trump’s America First policies,&#8221; he added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Elise Stefanik is truly a great leader and a devoted patriot. Today’s selfless decision shows America what those of us who work with her already know. She is deeply devoted to her country and fully committed to see President Trump’s agenda succeed in Congress. It is well known…

President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-pulls-stefanik-nomination-united-nations-ambassador?topStoryPosition=undefined" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> earlier in the day that he withdrew Stefanik&#8217;s nomination because it was &#8220;essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress.&#8221;
&#8220;We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning,” Trump said. “I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
Trump added: “With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations. Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People. Speaker Johnson is thrilled! I look forward to the day when Elise is able to join my Administration in the future. She is absolutely FANTASTIC. Thank you Elise!”

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he believes that President Donald Trump is very serious about expanding America&#8217;s territorial boundaries by acquiring Greenland.
Putin made the remarks during the 6th International Arctic Forum in Murmansk where he bemoaned Western nations increasingly competing in the Arctic region.
&#8220;The role and importance of the Arctic for Russia and for the entire world are obviously growing,&#8221; Putin said. &#8220;Regrettably, the geopolitical competition and fighting for positions in this region are also escalating.&#8221;
&#8220;Suffice it to say about the plans of the United States to annex Greenland, as everyone is aware,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But you know, it can surprise someone only at first glance. It is a profound mistake to treat it as some preposterous talk by the new U.S. administration. Nothing of the sort.&#8221;
Putin noted that the idea has been talked about in the United States dating back well over a hundred years.
&#8220;In short, the United States has serious plans regarding Greenland,&#8221; he said. &#8220;These plans have long historical roots, as I have just mentioned, and it is obvious that the United States will continue to consistently advance its geo-strategic, military-political and economic interests in the Arctic.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Putin: Trump’s plan to seize Greenland is serious, has deep historical roots, and it is evident that the U.S. will pursue it systematically. Adds that it’s a bilateral issue between the U.S. and Denmark and has no bearing on Russia. <a href="https://t.co/LMzWVzqR8d">pic.twitter.com/LMzWVzqR8d</a>
