A massive aerospace company aggressively vying to build the successor to the International Space Station could be undermined by its cozy stance toward China, our main competitor in space.
The California-based Vast is one of several companies competing for the NASA <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/johnson/jsc-procurement/cldc/">contract</a> to fund the private-sector successor to the International Space Station ahead of its planned retirement in 2030. Vast, however, has key business ventures that align it with the Chinese Communist Party.
In February 2024, Vast <a href="https://www.addvaluetech.com/media/vast-selects-addvalue-for-haven-1-space-station-connectivity/">partnered</a> with satellite communication firm Addvalue Technologies to supply communications systems for a precursor to its proposed ISS successor. Addvalue operates inside China through a wholly owned Beijing subsidiary, Zhongxin Chuangzhi Technologies (Beijing) Ltd, and lists an office inside the capital city.
That subsidiary has deep ties to the Chinese Communist government, supplying CCP-aligned companies with communications technology for years. The subsidiary signed a lucrative <a href="https://www.addvaluetech.com/media/addvalue-secured-new-additional-contract-for-its-ifleetone-terminals-to-cttic-shanghai/">contract</a> to supply thousands of vessel-monitoring terminals to licensed satellite distributor CTTC-Shanghai. CTTC Shanghai&#8217;s parent company, the China Transport Telecommunication and Information Center, is an arm of the CCP&#8217;s Ministry of Transport.
A former Trump administration national security official told The Daily Wire that this is &#8220;not just another procurement.&#8221;
“The U.S. should not entrust taxpayer-funded, national security-sensitive space infrastructure to Vast while serious questions remain about the company’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party,&#8221; the national security official said. &#8220;A commercial space station is not just another procurement, it is a strategic asset with direct implications for American technological leadership and national security. Washington must ensure that any company seeking federal contracts is independent of foreign influence, control, or leverage.”
Another obstacle to its procurement is its posture towards President Donald Trump. Garret Reisman, a former NASA astronaut and Vast&#8217;s astronaut advisor, said in an Instagram video endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris that he would like to &#8220;punch Trump in the face.&#8221; The post drew likes from multiple Vast employees.
Vast founder and crypto billionaire Jed McCaleb, who continues to serve as the company&#8217;s primary financial backer, gave $500,000 to <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/we-deserve-better-inc/C00858779/summary/2024">We Deserve Better</a>, a super PAC that backed the Democrat presidential campaign for Dean Phillips, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Top employees also aligned themselves with Eileen Gu, the American-born Olympic star who opted to abandon the U.S. team and instead represent Team China in the Winter Olympics.
Drew Feustel, Vast&#8217;s lead astronaut and former NASA acting chief astronaut, and chief design and Marketing Officer Hillary Coe liked an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DXKsz7NiGlc/">post</a> from Eileen Gu — the American-born Olympic star who opted to abandon the U.S. Olympic Ski and Snowboarding team and instead represent Team China in the Winter Olympics. Gu has never publicly acknowledged or condemned the CCP&#8217;s human rights abuses, including its treatment of Uyghur muslims.
The aerospace company has also fully embraced DEI and other leftist tropes in official proceedings. In a 2024 filing with the Biden Federal Communications Commission, Vast urged regulators to move away from gendered language like &#8220;manned spacecraft,&#8221; writing that such language is &#8220;misaligned with recent FCC proceedings that have sought approaches that promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.&#8221;
Vast is seen as a serious contender for the contract to replace the space station. NASA is expected to finalize the Phase 2 contract in the coming months. China&#8217;s Tiangong space station will be the only permanent station in orbit if no American station is ready when the ISS is retired.
Vast did not respond to a request for comment.

A California Democrat running for Congress in one of the most competitive races in the country is on the school board that approved the hiring of a known child predator who went on to sexually abuse two students, according to school board records reviewed by The Daily Wire.
Randy Villegas, a Democrat on the Visalia Unified School District board, voted “aye” at an October 11, 2022, meeting to approve the hiring of Dejaun Jones as campus supervisor at Mt. Whitney High School, the records show.
What parents and families at Mt. Whitney High School did not know was that Villegas and the board had just hired someone the district fired a decade ago for predatory behavior, and that he would repeat that behavior just months into his tenure.
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1164339 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Dejaun.webp" alt="" width="1568" height="535" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Dejaun.webp 1568w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Dejaun-300x102.webp 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Dejaun-1024x349.webp 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Dejaun-768x262.webp 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/Dejaun-1536x524.webp 1536w" sizes=" (max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px" /></div>
&nbsp;
Jones, 40, had been terminated by Visalia Unified in 2013 from his position as girls&#8217; track coach at the same high school after police investigated him for sending inappropriate text messages to one of his student-athletes. Jones was also investigated by the police for sending other inappropriate messages to students at a different high school.
Now Villegas is running as the Democratic nominee in a crucial Republican-held seat that his party may need to take control of the House. He&#8217;s taking on Republican Congressman David Valadao in what is widely seen as a toss-up race.
Villegas was previously in hot water for what many call a cover-up of the district&#8217;s sexual abuse scandals — voting to allocate nearly $14 million in payouts to five victims in closed board sessions. That includes nearly $12 million <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-12-19/school-districts-california-secret-settlements-childhood-sex-abuse-claims">paid</a> to Jones&#8217; two victims, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Villegas, who is running for Congress on a platform of transparency, denies the payouts were intended to silence the victims, <a href="https://sjvsun.com/news/politics/moderate-dems-blitz-villegas-on-visalia-unifieds-hush-hush-sex-abuse-settlements/">saying</a>, &#8220;I stand by my record of public service.&#8221;
Now he will have to contend with records showing that Villegas and five other trustees voted unanimously to approve the hiring even after seeing a report that included Jones&#8217; &#8220;Classified personnel report.&#8221;
A cover memo from the district&#8217;s human resources chief noted that every new &#8220;classified&#8221; employee was a replacement for a departing employee &#8220;except for the Campus Supervisor &#8211; Mt. Whitney,&#8221; but did not mention Jones&#8217; history or previous employment.
The memo said the hiring of Jones aligned with the district&#8217;s commitment to &#8220;creating physical and social-emotional safety in all learning environments.&#8221;
&nbsp;

Six months after the vote, police <a href="https://tulareda.org/former-school-employee-sentenced-for-lewd-acts/">arrested</a> Jones for molesting a 15-year-old student and receiving explicit content from the underage victim. Jones pleaded guilty to all 11 felony counts and was sentenced to five years in prison, according to the Tulare County District Attorney&#8217;s Office.
The attorney representing the two victims <a href="https://abc30.com/post/former-visalia-unified-school-district-employee-faces-felony-sexual-abuse-charges/18115204/">called</a> Jones a &#8220;textbook predator,&#8221; adding, &#8220;he should not have been hired again.&#8221;
The district <a href="https://kmph.com/news/local/fox26-investigates-rehired-despite-prior-misconduct-allegations-at-visalia-unified">told</a> KMPH that it follows a comprehensive pre-employment screening process.
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Villegas said hiring and rehiring decisions are made by the Visaila Unified School District administration, not by school board members,&#8221; calling the charges against Jones &#8220;deeply disturbing and unacceptable.&#8221;

In less than a year, a massive community has gathered on social media giant Facebook of people opposed to the growth of data centers, which have surged in prevalence across the country along with the explosion of artificial intelligence.
The group &#8220;Say NO to Data Centers,&#8221; was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/saynotodatacenters/">created</a> in September 2025 and now has more than 170,000 members. It is filled with average Americans asking reasonable questions about water tables, property values, and utility rates.
A Daily Wire investigation finds that the group&#8217;s grassroots energy is being channeled by Democratic operatives linked to Soros-funded organizations — and is part of an openly stated effort to turn local frustration over data centers into votes and candidates for the Left.
At the heart of the group is the work of a man named George Duarte. He is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/saynotodatacenters/members/experts">designated</a> in the massive group as one of five “Group Experts” and presents himself as an expert in &#8220;Maps &amp; Navigation Apps&#8221; from Beverly Hills, California.
He is the creator of &#8220;PoweredByWho,&#8221; the movement&#8217;s most sophisticated tool: a national <a href="https://poweredbywho.com/">database</a> tracking 2,299 data center projects across 46 states, mapping their corporate and political money, and packaging it all with a &#8220;Community Toolkit&#8221; on how to stop a project.
Duarte shares map info with the Facebook group almost daily and claims the project is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CW18o1MTB/">funded</a> solely by its readers.

PoweredByWho is an extremely technically sound, research-intensive project — all carried out due to his self-professed commitment to the fight against data centers. But what Duarte fails to mention to the group is his day job.
Duarte is the <a href="https://www.upswingresearch.com/team">director</a> of digital research and AI strategy at Upswing Research &amp; Strategy, a political consulting firm in Washington, D.C., with a <a href="https://www.upswingresearch.com/our-work">client list</a> that includes nearly every single Democratic campaign committee: The Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Governors Association.
Upswing&#8217;s client list also includes a wide range of progressive organizations that are directly involved in the opposition to AI data centers: the Center for American Progress, the Working Families Party, and leftist activist group Indivisible.
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_1112489" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1112489" class="wp-image-1112489 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/page_3_image_1_2048x987-1024x494.png" alt="" width="1024" height="494" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/page_3_image_1_2048x987-1024x494.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/page_3_image_1_2048x987-300x145.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/page_3_image_1_2048x987-768x370.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/page_3_image_1_2048x987-1536x740.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/page_3_image_1_2048x987.png 2048w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Via Upswing</div>
Another political operator serving as a &#8220;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/saynotodatacenters/members/experts">Group Expert</a>&#8221; in the Facebook group is Mark Schlosberg, a senior adviser at Food &amp; Water Watch (FWW) — a Washington group demanding that Congress halt all new data center construction. Schlosberg claimed in a statement to the Daily Wire that neither FWW nor its affiliated PAC &#8220;has a role with this Facebook page.&#8221;
According to Power the Future, FWW is the anti-data center campaign’s “chief political quarterback” and <a href="https://www.powerthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/PTF_ManufacturedOutrage_Rev3.pdf">receives</a> its funding “almost entirely through anonymizing donor-advised funds.”
FWW’s affiliated PAC, Food &amp; Water Action, has backed Democratic candidates almost exclusively. In 2024, it <a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/food-and-water-action-fwa/">supported</a> Kamala Harris, three Democratic congressional candidates, and one Working Families Party candidate. That same year, the group ran get-out-the-vote operations in Pennsylvania — a swing state where Food &amp; Water Watch has also organized opposition to data center development.
That is the machinery of a national political party, and its fingerprints sit on the anti-data-center movement&#8217;s central nervous system. Duarte himself bragged on LinkedIn that his project has become a voter-registration machine in swing states like Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin — a departure from his role as a Facebook group&#8217;s &#8220;Maps &amp; Navigation&#8221; expert.
&#8220;They don&#8217;t just get mad. They register to vote,&#8221; Duarte <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/george-duarte-2b2111110_poweredbywho-whos-building-data-centers-share-7445481364407099392-lAw3/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAFJIH6sBi3y_S6JsatzcBpCrQ2cbmUadb3c">posted</a>.
Duarte told The Daily Wire that PoweredByWho is an &#8220;independent personal project&#8221; he built himself, and that Upswing &#8220;plays no role in it at all.&#8221; Upswing did not respond to a request for comment.
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_1114305" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1114305" class="wp-image-1114305 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/DuarteLinkedIn.png" alt="" width="550" height="443" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/DuarteLinkedIn.png 550w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/06/DuarteLinkedIn-300x242.png 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" />Via George Duarte on LinkedIn</div>
Indivisible, another client of Upswing, is a leftist activist network best known for <a href="https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15202777/dark-web-power-no-kings-protests.html">bankrolling</a> the anti-Trump &#8220;No Kings&#8221; protests. It is now among the most active funded organizers in the anti-data-center fight.
Indivisible has driven data-center fights nationwide — an April &#8220;week of action&#8221; in Temple, Texas, complete with a City Hall protest and a council recall; scripted phone banks in central Indiana; and anti-data center rallies from Massachusetts to California. The American Energy Institute has also tracked the group funding similar activity across Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Georgia, and California.
The grants database of the Open Society Foundations, George Soros&#8217;s $32 billion philanthropic juggernaut, <a href="https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/grants/past?filter_keyword=Indivisible">shows</a> more than $7.6 million flowing from George Soros to Indivisible, $3 million of which was earmarked for &#8220;social welfare activities.&#8221;
The American Energy Institute <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/left-wing-foreign-billionaires-fund-groups-trying-to-cripple-ai-infrastructure">tracked</a> another $1 million in 2025 going to Indivisible from the Berger Action Fund, the advocacy vehicle of Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, according to the fund&#8217;s tax filings. Wyss is notorious for donating to left-wing advocacy groups such as the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which, in turn, is well <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/18/liberal-billionaire-nonprofit-dark-money-00018513">known</a> as a major fiscal sponsor and “dark money” hub for leftist causes.
Wyss has been investigated by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for allegedly illegally funneling millions in foreign money into U.S. elections through a network of left-leaning nonprofits, although the FEC complaint was later dismissed. Foreign nationals are barred from funding U.S. elections, but money routed through nonprofit advocacy groups remains legal, a loophole congressional Republicans have spent years trying to close. The American Energy Institute <a href="https://americanenergyinstitute.com/docs/aei_data-center_report_v2.pdf">tallied</a> more than $39 million in foreign money flowing to 12 organizations active in opposing data center development.
The Working Families Party (WFP), a left-wing party that helped elect Zohran Mamdani to office in New York with $23.7 million in <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/12/us-news/soros-funneled-37-million-to-lefty-groups-backing-mamdanis-mayoral-run/">funding</a> from George Soros, is also one of Upswing&#8217;s clients. FEC <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/disbursements/?+Strategy%22&amp;data_type=processed&amp;committee_id=C00606962&amp;recipient_name=Upswing+Research+">records</a> show the WFP&#8217;s federal PAC paid Upswing nearly $80,000 over two years.
The WFP has publicly <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/opposed-to-data-centers-the-working-families-party-wants-you-to-run-for-office/">urged</a> critics of data centers to run for office in another attempt to convert local frustration into votes for the far Left.
The party is recruiting data center opponents as candidates in northern Virginia, the upper Midwest, and the Southwest. WFP national press secretary Ravi Mangla told Wired, &#8220;You can&#8217;t fill a community center or a town hall just organically.&#8221;
The same small world of Democratic firms, donors, and organizers surfaces at every layer of an anti-data-center movement that otherwise presents itself as grassroots.
The 170,000 members of &#8220;Say NO to Data Centers&#8221; were never told that their &#8220;Group Expert&#8221; draws a paycheck from a key Democratic firm — and some have not welcomed the Facebook group&#8217;s increasingly partisan tone.
One woman posted in the group earlier this year that it seemed to be getting away from its core focus on the data center issue.
&#8220;Are we supposed to be making political posts in here,&#8221; the woman wrote amid a string of purely political posts in the group, &#8220;or stay on topic about AI data centers?&#8221;

The Hidden Soros Connection In America’s Data Center Wars

Billions of dollars in Iranian crude are still reaching China through a &#8220;shadow fleet&#8221; of anonymous, aging oil tankers, evading both U.S. sanctions and the American naval blockade of Iran&#8217;s ports, a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iranian-oil-shadow-fleet-black-market-3dc7fb6c?mod=hp_lead_pos7">report</a> revealed Wednesday.
The Journal&#8217;s investigation revealed what amounts to a floating black market for Iranian oil roughly 45 miles off the coast of Malaysia, where sanctioned tankers quietly offload their cargo to anonymized vessels bound for Chinese refineries — keeping Tehran&#8217;s most vital revenue streams alive despite U.S. efforts to choke off trade.
China, the Iranian regime&#8217;s strongest ally throughout its conflict with the United States, has made a significant effort to help the regime sustain its oil industry, which accounted for nearly 15% of China&#8217;s oil imports last year.
For Tehran, the black-market arrangement with the Chinese Communist Party is the financial lifeline that has allowed it to persevere through the economic devastation of Operation Epic Fury and U.S. sanctions. The Iranian regime hauled in roughly $31 billion in oil revenue from China over the past year, according to data from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. That trade represented about 90% of the oil Iran sold abroad and covered nearly 45% of the regime&#8217;s annual government budget.
The Journal observed the process unfold in real time in early May. A U.S.-sanctioned tanker, loaded with Iranian oil, joined dozens of other vessels in a stretch of ocean known as the Eastern Outer Port Limits, or EOPL. The area lies within Malaysia&#8217;s exclusive economic zone but outside its territorial waters — a legal gray area that no government has clear authority to police.
After arriving at the EOPL, the Iranian vessel carried out &#8220;ship-to-ship transfers,&#8221; pumping its cargo through massive hoses into a second, anonymized tanker, which then departed toward Chinese refineries.
These secondary vessels, according to the Journal, belong to a network of about 1,500 aging oil tankers that mask their true owners behind “flags of convenience,” registering in countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone with limited maritime enforcement. As an additional precaution, the ships switch off their tracking transponders to conceal their movements and remove anything on board that could identify them. Many of the ships observed by the reporters were staffed by Chinese crews.
The Trump administration, for its part, is aware of the shadow fleet and has ramped up efforts to clamp down on the illicit oil trade — most recently dispatching U.S. Special Forces to rappel from helicopters onto the decks of two shadow-fleet tankers in the Indian Ocean. As part of the administration&#8217;s &#8220;Economic Fury&#8221; campaign, the Treasury Department also announced new sanctions targeting individual tankers and Chinese oil infrastructure.
“Under President Trump’s strong leadership, Treasury will continue to stop the Iranian regime from plundering the country’s natural resources in the name of terrorism,” a spokeswoman for the Department of the Treasury told the Journal.
The effort is likely to become more effective over time. Energy firm Vortexa estimates that roughly 90 million barrels of Iranian oil were in international waters before the blockade even began. Because Iranian tankers need two to three months to reach Chinese ports and two to three more to collect payment, the regime will eventually exhaust this floating reserve, leaving it with little to no fresh crude able to leave Iran to replace it.
This comes amid reports that U.S. and Iranian negotiators have reportedly agreed to a tentative 60-day framework extending the ceasefire that, pending President Trump&#8217;s final approval, would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and draw down the blockade in stages. If finalized, the noose would be at least temporarily loosened around the Iranian oil industry before its offshore reserves run dry in order to pursue a long-term peace deal.

The Trump-led redistricting effort in South Carolina failed in the state senate Tuesday after several Republicans defected to join Democrats in blocking the new map from advancing to a final vote.
The 20-24 vote fell short of the 26 needed to move the map forward, a defeat that came despite Trump&#8217;s public pressure on South Carolina Republicans to follow the lead of red states such as Texas, Florida, and North Carolina and give the GOP a stronger advantage in November&#8217;s pivotal elections.
The new map, which passed the state house last week, would have axed the state&#8217;s lone Democratic district, represented by longtime Democratic Rep. James Clyburn. The failed vote is a significant setback to President Trump&#8217;s redistricting agenda, which suffered an additional defeat Tuesday after a panel of federal judges blocked the use of a Republican-backed map in Alabama.
Several Republican defectors joined all Democrats in voting against advancing the map, a move that closely <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/indiana-senate-rejects-trump-backed-redistricting-bid-dealing-blow-to-gops-2026-outlook">mirrors</a> the Indiana state senate&#8217;s December action after it rejected a map that would likely have flipped two Democratic seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
The vote reportedly came as a surprise to the Trump administration, with an administration official <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/south-carolinas-redistricting-effort-fails-state-senate-gop-opposition-rcna346962">telling</a> NBC News that &#8220;the votes were there&#8221; and that the White House had &#8220;no new information&#8221; indicating the map would fail to advance. Another White House adviser called the vote a &#8220;betrayal.&#8221;
GOP leadership in the state senate had shown some resistance to enacting the new map, given that primary elections were already underway across the state.
“Republicans are stronger when the Democrat Party is vibrant and viable,” GOP Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/south-carolina-state-senate-rejects-effort-tackle-redistricting-pressu-rcna344815">said</a> earlier this month, adding that he refused to surrender to Trump on this issue. “I have too much Southern blood in me to surrender. Indeed, as some of you will recognize, it is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself.”
Following the vote, several Republican state senators defended their votes on more practical grounds.
“South Carolina citizens are going to the polls today. And neither my conscience or common sense is going to let me stop an election that is already underway,” Republican state Sen. Richard Cash <a href="https://www.southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2026-05-26/sc-senate-rejects-president-trumps-call-to-redraw-congressional-maps">said</a>.
To proponents of the bill, the &#8220;too late&#8221; rationale expressed by defecting GOP state senators is simply a cover for ducking a tough vote, given that the senators had debated the map for weeks before voting even began. The affected congressional primaries, after all, would merely have been rescheduled to August.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump had personally urged South Carolina lawmakers to move forward with the measure. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was “watching closely” and called on state Republicans to “be bold and courageous,” citing Tennessee’s recent decision to split up its only deep blue district.
Tuesday&#8217;s vote arrives on the heels of state senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-flexes-political-muscle-against-republicans-who-bucked-him-on-redistricting?author=Drew+Berkemeyer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=13&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Flexes+Political+Muscle+Against+Republicans+Who+Bucked+Him+On+Redistricting">primaries</a> in Indiana, where five of the seven Republican state senators who resisted a Trump-aligned redistricting effort were ousted in their primaries by challengers carrying the president’s endorsement — a stark omen for the South Carolina defectors.

A House lawmaker introduced a constitutional amendment this week that would do exactly what Daily Wire host Matt Walsh called for last month: bar foreign-born citizens from serving in Congress.
The proposed constitutional amendment, introduced this week by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), would require members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed appointees to be natural-born citizens — the same standard the Constitution already sets for president and vice president.
In late April, Walsh <a href="https://youtu.be/OMzr9b2Rd8o?si=TkMAiOYDoYi3CnIP">proposed</a> his &#8220;heritage American Bill of Rights,&#8221; the first rule of which was intended to do exactly this:
&#8220;Rule number one: First-generation immigrants should not be permitted to serve in Congress at all, especially illiterate Somali ones,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;We already require that presidents must be natural-born citizens. And that requirement should simply be extended to Congress as well.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Walsh added that &#8220;if you just got here, then you have no business telling Americans how to live their lives,&#8221; or &#8220;spend their money. &#8221;
Both Walsh and the amendment proposed by Mace point to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), along with the 18 other foreign-born members of Congress.
Members of Congress like Omar have made clear &#8220;their loyalty is not here,&#8221; Mace <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5887636-nancy-mace-amendment-foreign-born-citizens-holding-office/">said</a>. Walsh argued that first-generation immigrants like Omar have no business &#8220;complaining all the time or defaming millions of people,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it&#8217;s the height of humiliation for Americans to have to listen to a member of Congress talk about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omar-hits-rock-bottom-with-her-dumbest-remarks-yet-as-trump-delivers-his-best-speech-ever">World War 11</a>.&#8221;
Mace&#8217;s proposal faces an uphill battle in its form as a constitutional amendment. Ratification would require a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate, followed by approval from three-fourths of the states — a bar that has not been cleared by any amendment since 1992.
Democrats reacted furiously to Mace&#8217;s amendment, with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), herself a naturalized citizen born in India, <a href="https://jayapal.house.gov/2026/05/20/jayapal-statement-on-hateful-mace-legislation-to-ban-naturalized-citizens-from-government-service/">calling</a> the measure &#8220;racist legislation&#8221; and saying it &#8220;denies the very history of a country that has been proudly shaped by immigrants.&#8221;
In his &#8220;heritage American Bill of Rights,&#8221; Walsh further proposes deporting (or denaturalizing and then deporting) foreigners and naturalized citizens who cannot speak English or who become a net drain on taxpayers, as well as barring new citizens from voting for 10 years.
&#8220;We can&#8217;t prevent people from voting based on race, and we shouldn&#8217;t, and no one is suggesting that,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;But we can protect our institutions by taking basic steps to make sure that voters are actual adult citizens of the country who are assimilated into the culture and invested in it.&#8221;
Walsh calls for requiring all voters to pass a fifth-grade civics exam in English, and disenfranchising welfare recipients — even if they&#8217;re native-born U.S. citizens.
&#8220;If you want to vote, there has to be some legacy you want to protect,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;You should not be able to vote yourself money from the public treasury.&#8221;

A Utah judge ruled Friday that cameras, microphones, and still photographers will be allowed inside the courtroom for the murder trial of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf denied a request from the defense to ban all forms of electronic media coverage, instead requiring reporters to file requests at least two weeks prior to each scheduled proceeding.
Robinson, 23, has been charged with the September 10, 2025, killing and could face the death penalty if convicted.
The defense argued that allowing cameras would jeopardize Robinson&#8217;s “fair trial rights,” telling the judge that restrictions were necessary &#8220;to ensure Mr. Robinson’s rights to due process, to a fair and impartial jury, to counsel, to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.&#8221;
At a hearing last month, the defense argued that media coverage in pre-trial hearings had already tainted the jury pool, pointing to several examples of pundits branding Robinson as a &#8220;monster&#8221; and fixating on items pulled from court filings, such as alleged post-shooting texts to his transgender-identifying roommate, rather than the substance of the proceedings.
The prosecution dismissed this argument, arguing that transparency strengthens public trust.
“Mischief lurks in the dark or in secret,” Deputy Utah County Attorney Chad Grunander said. “Conspiracy theories abound, and the antidote is the actual, real proceedings&#8230; Let’s shine a light on these proceedings, a bright light, so the public can have confidence in what happens in this courtroom.”
Utah courts have generally permitted cameras by default for a decade, and no criminal case in the state has been fully closed to cameras, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune.
Graf said the court has implemented several measures to address the defense&#8217;s concerns, including requiring cameras to remain at the back of the courtroom to avoid capturing sensitive materials or conversations.
He also pushed back the preliminary hearing for July 6 through July 10, rejecting the defense&#8217;s request for a six-month delay to sort through the &#8220;voluminous&#8221; discovery materials.

President Donald Trump announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine beginning Saturday, hinting at the possibility of the “beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War.”
&#8220;I am pleased to announce that there will be a THREE DAY CEASEFIRE (May 9th, 10th, and 11th) in the War between Russia and Ukraine,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116540259118606629">posted</a> Friday on Truth Social, adding that the ceasefire would mark the anniversary of Victory Day in World War II — one of Russia&#8217;s most important national holidays.
President Trump said the ceasefire will mean the &#8220;suspension of all kinetic activity&#8221; in a conflict that began in February 2022 and has resulted in more than 2 million casualties.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the details of the ceasefire, adding that &#8220;a prisoner exchange in the format of 1,000 for 1,000&#8221; would also take place between Russia and Ukraine.
&#8220;Within the framework of the negotiating process mediated by the American side, we received Russia’s agreement to conduct a prisoner exchange in the format of 1,000 for 1,000,&#8221; Zelensky wrote on X. &#8220;A ceasefire regime must also be established on May 9, 10, and 11. Ukraine is consistently working to bring its people home from Russian captivity. I have instructed our team to promptly prepare everything necessary for the exchange.&#8221;
Russia had spent weeks lobbying Ukraine for a Victory Day ceasefire, threatening to strike Kyiv if the planned Victory Day parade was disrupted. Ukraine dismissed the ceasefire proposal as &#8220;unserious&#8221; until Trump intervened and brokered a prisoner exchange.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told Russian media that Moscow agreed to the arrangement following a phone call between Putin and Trump.
The three-day truce will mark the first mutual ceasefire between the two nations since Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion began more than four years ago. Russia has previously declared unilateral pauses around Orthodox church holidays and Victory Day in past years, and the two nations briefly observed a one-month halt to strikes on energy infrastructure earlier this year. A deep mutual distrust between the two sides has prevented any comprehensive cessation of hostilities from being reached until now.
&#8220;Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War. Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day,&#8221; Trump said.

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti accused a Nashville public school of &#8220;promoting particular religious viewpoints&#8221; through its accommodation of Muslim students during Ramadan, saying the school crossed the line from allowing religious exercise to actively facilitating it.
In a Tuesday <a href="https://tennesseestar.com/justice/tennessee-ag-skrmetti-weighs-legal-implications-of-muslim-prayer-accommodations-in-nashville-public-school/khousler/2026/04/15/">interview</a> with the Tennessee Star, Skrmetti responded to reports that a Metro Nashville Public Schools employee set up a dedicated Islamic prayer room at John Overton High School and encouraged Muslim students to skip class to use it.
“Free exercise says the government can’t stop you from practicing your religion,” Skrmetti explained. “The establishment clause, as interpreted, and as we hear about every time the legislature tries to do anything these days, says that the state can’t … participate in promoting particular religious viewpoints.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
John Overton High School, according to a <a href="https://nashvillebanner.com/2026/04/07/ramadan-muslim-students-overton-high-school/">report</a> from the Nashville Banner, permitted more than 80 students to skip class daily during Ramadan prayer sessions, in addition to separate “food-free” classrooms for fasting Muslim students. Students reportedly used paper towels as improvised prayer mats and set up a divider separating boys and girls before one student recited passages from the Quran. Outside of the month of Ramadan, students are reportedly permitted to leave school grounds once a month to pray.
“So if the school is dedicating resources to something, that’s a very different situation than if the students are self-organizing,” Skrmetti added. “I look at it as an attempt to propagandize and proselytize [non-Muslim] students. That’s my view.”
In a similar vein, the U.S. Department of Education guidance released in February <a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-issues-guidance-prayer-and-religious-expression-public-schools">states</a> that “public schools may not sponsor prayer nor coerce or pressure students to pray.”
“School officials should allow members of the public school community to act and speak according to their faith, as long as&#8230; The school itself does not engage in religious activities or speech as an institution,” the guidance continues.
The Tennessee attorney general teased further state action on the issue, concluding: “I expect that we’ll be hearing more about it one way or another.”
The controversy comes as Tennessee lawmakers grapple with the role of religion in public schools more broadly. State House Bill 1491, which would have required public schools to set aside a period for prayer and Bible reading, was temporarily <a href="https://www.tnfirefly.com/news/protecting-religious-liberty-and-expression-in-public-schools-act-tabled-for-summer-study?ref=pamphleteer.co">tabled</a> in a 12-7 committee vote last week in favor of further research on the issue over the summer.
Proponents of the bill argue that the bill aligns with the Supreme Court&#8217;s Kennedy v. Bremerton decision in 2022, which held that the First Amendment protects individuals engaging in religious activities from government reprisal.

An American journalist has reportedly been freed after being held captive for more than a week by an Iran-backed militia, with the group demanding she &#8220;leave the country immediately&#8221; as a condition of her release.
In late March, Shelly Kittleson was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-video-shows-moment-american-female-journalist-is-kidnapped-in-iraq?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=WATCH%3A+Video+Shows+Moment+American+Female+Journalist+Is+Kidnapped+In+Iraq">stopped</a> in the middle of a road in Baghdad by a group of armed men who then threw her into a van and fled the city. The kidnappers were later identified as members of Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shiite Iraqi militia.
Kataib Hezbollah said in a Tuesday statement on Telegram that it had decided to release Kittleson following productive discussions with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The militia said they had an “appreciation of the patriotic stances” of the prime minister, and released the journalist &#8220;on the condition that she leaves the country immediately.”
Middle Eastern outlet Al-Monitor, which Kittleson worked for prior to her kidnapping, <a href="https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2026/04/us-journalist-shelly-kittleson-released-iran-backed-kataib-hezbollah-iraq">reported</a> that two Iraqi officials confirmed Kittleson&#8217;s release, and according to one official, Kittleson was in the Iraqi prime minister&#8217;s office on Tuesday.
The officials declined to give further details on her release, and neither the Iraqi nor U.S. government has verified Kittleson&#8217;s release at the time of publication.
Alhurra, an Arabic outlet based in Washington, D.C., <a href="https://alhurra.com/en/17856" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Monday, citing Iraqi intelligence sources, that Kittleson had been moved to a militia-controlled area in Iraq&#8217;s Babil province — which is known as a hub for smuggling operations and attacks on U.S. forces — where she was believed to be held as a &#8220;human shield&#8221; against American strikes. The outlet also reported that Kataib Hezbollah was seeking the release of four of its members detained by Iraqi authorities for their role in attacks on Syria. It is unclear if the Iraqi government met this demand.
Kataib Hezbollah released footage purporting to show Kittleson earlier Tuesday, with her supposedly admitting to gathering intelligence on Iranian-backed militias for the U.S. government. The unverified video would be the first sign of life of Kittleson since her abduction.

WATCH: Video Shows Moment American Female Journalist Is Kidnapped In Iraq

A shocking report from The New York Times revealed Wednesday that labor union “hero” Cesar Chavez allegedly sexually abused multiple young girls and women prior to his death in 1993.
Multiple women accused Chavez, who co-founded and led the United Farm Workers (UFW) labor union, of assault, harassment, and rape dating back to 1960.
The previously unpublished allegations were corroborated by the Times investigation, which was based on more than 60 interviews with Chavez&#8217;s top aides, relatives, and former UFW members. Reporters also reviewed hundreds of pages of union records, confidential emails, photographs, and audio recordings of UFW board meetings.
Two women in the Times report, Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas, both now 66, say Chavez began sexually abusing them when they were 13 and 12 years old, respectively. Both women were children of farm workers represented by Chavez’s prominent union.
Rojas was groped by Chavez in his office when she was 12, and the abuse continued for years, culminating in what Rojas described as rape at a motel during a union march in 1975, when she was 15. According to the New York Times, Rojas&#8217;s account is corroborated by a handwritten letter she sent to Chavez at age 13 that exists in the Wayne State University archives.
In 1972, Murguia recalled Chavez calling her to his room at the age of 13, which she did enthusiastically, describing the union leader as her “hero” at the time.  Chavez locked the door, forced Murguia onto a yoga mat, and molested her.
Chavez told the girl, “Don’t tell anyone. They’d get jealous,” after kissing her. Murguia said she was raped “dozens” of times until 1977, and she had attempted suicide multiple times by the age of 15. “I wanted to die,” she said.
Several other women accused Chavez of sexual abuse, including his longtime confidant and fellow UFW co-founder, Dolores Huerta, who is now 95 years old. Huerta accused Chavez of raping her in 1966 in a vehicle and of an earlier coerced sexual encounter during a work trip in 1960. She says two children resulted from these encounters.
The Times investigation concluded that Chavez fathered at least four children with three women outside his marriage based on 23andMe test results.
Chavez has been an icon of the Left for decades, and in California, Cesar Chavez Day is a paid state holiday. Following the Times&#8217; report, prominent Democrats scrambled to condemn Chavez, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who previously said a photo of the union leader is &#8220;the first photo&#8221; he &#8220;wake[s] up to.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s been hard to absorb this, Jenn and I are very close with Dolores [Huerta], so many of us are and have been for decades and decades, and none of us knew,&#8221; Newsom said Wednesday. &#8220;All of us, I think, are processing it, and these kids have to process this now. There are almost three dozen schools in the state that are named after Cesar Chavez.&#8221;
