September 15, 2026 - Federal Judge refers Philly Soros DA Larry Krasner for federal criminal investigation for providing false information to the court

In a stunning move, a federal judge on Tuesday referred Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner for federal criminal investigation to determine whether he should be charged with conspiracy or obstruction of justice in his efforts to overturn a murder conviction.

U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond, a George W. Bush appointee, said testimony from the DA’s staffers described conduct by Larry Krasner and his top deputy, Matthew Stiegler, as “troubling.”

Larry Krasner and his attorneys are now being accused of committing crimes, such as suborning perjury, after they received a court petition to overturn a 2009 second-degree murder conviction.

Dennis Johnson was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009 for the slaying of Kenyatta Smith at a Philadelphia convenience store.

Johnson was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Over the last ten years, Johnson has been fighting his conviction.

Four prosecutors in the DA’s office alleged that Krasner pressured staffers to provide false information to the court to shield a supervisor from blame.

“I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia’s highest official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law,” Judge Diamond wrote.

“In these circumstances, with the issuance of this Memorandum, I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and Stiegler to this District’s United States Attorney’s Office for investigation and other appropriate action,” the judge said.

Krasner and Stiegler are both barred from any further participation in Johnson’s ongoing bid to overturn his murder conviction. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 9/15/2026)  (Archive)

UPDATE:

A federal judge refers progressive Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner to the DOJ for a criminal investigation, citing explosive evidence of perjury and a conspiracy to release a convicted murderer.

Here Are the 12 Defendants Charged in a $10 Million California Daycare Fraud Scheme

September 16, 2026 - House report drops ActBlue Slack messages showing staff knowingly waved through foreign donations

House Republicans just released the third installment of their ActBlue investigation, and the internal messages are worse than the Democrats’ money machine has admitted.

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee, House Administration Committee, and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee published a joint interim staff report titled “Fraud on ActBlue, Part III: ActBlue’s Failure to Prevent Illegal Foreign Political Contributions.”

The report includes internal communications, including Slack-style staff traffic and supervisor notes, showing ActBlue analysts were trained to look for reasons to accept money, not block it, even when the donation screamed foreign origin.

The “verification” Congress was sold

ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones previously told House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) that donations tied to addresses outside the United States required a U.S. passport number.
Internal ActBlue procedure documents produced to the committees tell a different story, according to the report.

The so-called verification “uses very basic validation, number of characters, to ensure that the number entered is a valid passport number, but we do not verify the information in any other way.”
Staff did not check the number against any government database. They stored whatever string of digits the donor typed and kept the money moving.

If a donor had no passport, an employee could invent an “alternative method” of confirming citizenship and drop a placeholder into the account: ACTBLUEXX. After that, future donations from the same account skipped the passport prompt entirely.

One supervisor overruled a rejection with this logic: the donor is foreign, but they entered a billing address, “so they would be prompted for a passport number.”

Another wrote that a foreign contribution to a political organization was “okay” because the donor used the correct country code and therefore “would need to enter a passport number.” The number itself never had to be real.

That is the security theater Democrats have been waving around as proof foreign money cannot enter American elections.

Slack culture: “Give the donor the benefit of the doubt”

h/t X22Report

September 16, 2026 - Germany's former Chancellor Merkel reveals how Bill Gates exerted pressure on policymakers regarding vaccinations

BQQM… Angela Merkel just exposed the operating system of global control from inside the room…

An unelected billionaire could enter sovereign capitals as an equal, select the priority, pressure elected leaders, unlock public money and use international reputation to punish resistance…

Vaccines gave us one visible node… follow the mechanism outward and the entire organism appears as foundations fund, experts legitimize, institutions standardize, media conditions, corporations deliver and governments enforce…

This four part thread maps the admission, exposes the machinery, closes the control loop and shows why sovereignty has become the countermove sweeping the world…

Once you see who shaped the choices before elected leaders announced them, the global realignment becomes impossible to misunderstand…

(…)

Let’s not miss the meta signal in the noise here… Merkel is demonstrating (see video) how the whole transnational control organism works… this is an admission of guilt… a 4 part thread…🧵

People will make this about Bill Gates, vaccines or COVID because that keeps the revelation trapped inside one compartment…

Merkel is describing how private money accumulated enough institutional power to stand beside sovereign governments, select which problems received attention, pressure elected leaders into supplying public money and impose reputational costs upon those who resisted…

Gates (and many others) never needed to win an election… his foundation gave him access equal to heads of government and enough leverage to tell African leaders that Merkel had been “stingy” when Germany failed to contribute enough to the vaccine alliance…

Merkel admits this placed her in a bad position and allowed Gates to acquire great power through money…

Her exchange with Gates about education reveals how the priorities were selected… education was decentralized, constantly changing and difficult to measure, while vaccination offered a standardized intervention that could be financed, counted and scaled across countries…

Whatever can be standardized, measured and monitored attracts centralized capital, while everything local or difficult to quantify gradually loses funding and attention…

Private capital selects the priority, foundations finance the institutions surrounding it, experts legitimize it, multilateral bodies convert it into international consensus,..

NGOs create moral pressure, media presents it as the responsible position, corporations deliver the product and governments provide taxpayer money, legal authority and nationwide enforcement…

By the time the elected leader announces the decision, the acceptable choices have already been shaped upstream…

Merkel just opened the door… now let’s walk through it and map the organism…

2/4… The transnational control organism requires no single headquarters because its specialized parts are connected through money, personnel, standards, technology and access…

Its brain is concentrated capital held by billionaire foundations, multinational corporations, major banks and asset managers that determine which priorities receive funding…

Its nervous system is the multilateral layer of the UN, WHO, World Bank, IMF, OECD, EU and related institutions that translate those priorities into standards, targets and policy frameworks…

Its intellectual layer consists of universities, think tanks, consultancies, professional associations and expert panels that produce the approved research, language and measurements…

Once this layer defines the problem, controls the evidence and establishes the acceptable solution, governments enter a policy environment already constructed for them…

Its circulatory system moves money through grants, development loans, earmarked contributions, public-private partnerships, procurement contracts, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds…

Beneath that sits the global financial plumbing of central banks, settlement systems, correspondent banking, credit ratings and reserve currencies, determining which governments can borrow, which industries receive liquidity and which countries can be isolated from global capital…

Corporations become the muscles that manufacture the products, operate the platforms, build the infrastructure and fulfill the contracts…

Data networks become the senses that measure populations, assign risk and track compliance…

Cloud platforms, payment systems, digital identity, telecommunications and government databases become the memory that allows policy to be administered through access, permissions and automated conditions…

Capital selects the mission while the connected institutions build the world required to administer it…

That is the anatomy… now let’s follow how it protects itself, reproduces itself and converts influence into enforcement…

3/4… Every functioning system needs a control loop…

The organism protects itself through a communications layer of media organizations, NGOs, advocacy groups, corporate public relations and credentialed experts that transforms institutional preferences into moral imperatives…

Treaties, regulators, courts, procurement rules and permanent bureaucracies then form the legal shell that preserves policy long after the politicians who announced it have disappeared…

Its recruitment system keeps the machinery alive across generations… “elite” universities, fellowships, foundations, think tanks and leadership programs identify personnel, provide credentials and circulate them through government, media, finance, technology and international institutions…

Elections replace the faces while the same professional class continues administering the system…

Controlled crisis accelerates the process by creating urgency, reducing deliberation and opening the door for emergency partnerships, new infrastructure and permanent standards…

The machinery only needs prepared solutions, trusted messengers and financing vehicles ready to expand when the opportunity arrives…

Elected government becomes the public facing enforcement layer because foundations cannot tax a nation, banks cannot pass legislation and multilateral institutions cannot independently deploy domestic agencies…

Government supplies those powers as politicians sign the checks, regulators write the rules, bureaucracies administer them and the public absorbs the cost…

This is how elected leaders can function as figureheads while retaining enormous formal authority…

They remain visible enough to absorb public accountability while operating inside a system whose priorities, financing, expertise and legitimacy were assembled elsewhere…

Many became willing participants because the network supplied money, access, prestige, protection and ready made policy…

The deepest layer is us… citizens provide the taxes, pension savings, consumer data, national credit and institutional legitimacy that power the organism…

Public wealth is pooled into funds, those funds finance corporations and policy vehicles, and those institutions return with the power to shape the lives of the people whose capital created them…

Distributed control makes the architecture durable… its power centers can compete over territory, profit and tactics while preserving the same operating system through shared funding, personnel, standards, infrastructure and incentives…

Once we see where the leverage comes from, the worldwide return to sovereignty begins making sense… let’s look at that now…

4/4… The sovereign countermove is what we are all starting to recognize…

Merkel exposed far more than Bill Gates… she exposed the architecture of governance without democratic ownership…

Vaccines were one visible node inside an operating system reaching through finance, energy, food, education, technology, defense, media and global development…

Capital selected the priorities while finance disciplined, experts legitimized, multilateral institutions standardized, technology observed, media conditioned, bureaucracy preserved, corporations delivered, intelligence protected and government legalized and enforced…

The citizen supplied the money, data and consent while being shown the elected leader as the person supposedly in control…

Now the worldwide sovereignty movement comes into focus…

Nations are reclaiming borders, energy, industry, food, money, data, health policy and critical infrastructure because those are the pressure points through which the transnational organism accumulated leverage…

Dependency allowed outside institutions to influence domestic priorities, attach conditions to capital, control essential systems and narrow the choices available to elected governments…

Every sovereign capacity rebuilt at home removes another pressure point… domestic energy weakens external coercion… independent food and industrial systems reduce supply chain leverage… and national control over data, communications and financial infrastructure limits the ability of private networks to administer policy through access and permissions…

Rebuilding internal expertise allows governments to evaluate policies without depending upon institutions financed by the same interests proposing the solution…

This is the larger realignment underway… sovereignty is becoming the organizing principle of a world that has seen what dependency eventually becomes…

Merkel showed us the old control system from inside the room… the next chapter is about nations dismantling its leverage from the outside in… we are witnessing this happen all over the world…

September 16, 2026 - Three employed at L.A.-area homeless nonprofits arrested on federal charges alleging misuse of millions of taxpayer dollars

Michael Young, 46, Lakiya Malone, 48, and Donye Mitchell, 55, were charged in the federal fraud crackdown in California (Department of Justice)

Law enforcement today arrested two defendants, out of three total, who have been charged in separate federal homelessness corruption and fraud cases, including a founder of a Culver City, California,-based nonprofit who allegedly misappropriated more than $7.5 million in taxpayer funds, and used this money for commercial real estate and to finance the construction of a nightclub and adjacent bingo hall.

Today’s enforcement action is the latest effort by the Homelessness Fraud and Corruption Task Force to investigate, combat, and prosecute fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption involving funds allocated toward the eradication of homelessness within the seven-county jurisdiction of the Central District of California: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.

“Today the Department of Justice, with the full force of the federal government, is announcing charges in a major fraud takedown targeting schemes that stole millions from programs meant to house California’s homeless,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the National Fraud Enforcement Division. “As alleged, Michael Young, through Home at Last, received more than $100 million in taxpayer funds and misappropriated more than $12 million, diverting that money into shell companies, real estate, and even a nightclub and bingo hall. That scheme is now halted in its tracks. My message to every fraudster who steals from the vulnerable is clear: We will track you down, bring charges where the evidence leads, and work relentlessly to reclaim every taxpayer dollar you stole.”

“These defendants are accused of systematically diverting over $12 million in taxpayer funds for personal gain – robbing hardworking American citizens and directly hurting the people those funds are intended to support,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and our interagency partners, fraud no longer has a safe haven in America. This FBI will act to hold those responsible accountable for their fraud – and today’s arrests demonstrate our continued commitment to protecting every dollar of taxpayer resources and ensuring that public funds are used exactly as intended.”

“Today’s arrests mark a major success for our Homelessness Fraud and Corruption Task Force and this Administration’s commitment to protecting taxpayers,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California. “The scale and brazenness of these fraudsters expose a profound failure by the State of California and Los Angeles County to safeguard public funds. Millions intended to house the homeless allegedly financed private real estate, a nightclub, a bingo hall, and personal expenses. Taxpayers deserve accountability. We will follow the money, expose the corruption, and prosecute those who exploit the American people for personal gain.”

“Today’s actions reflect our commitment to protecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring accountability of public funds,” said Special Agent in Charge Darren Lian of the IRS Criminal Investigation’s Los Angeles Field Office. “The evidence uncovered by IRS Criminal Investigation and our law enforcement partners reveals a deliberate scheme to defraud government programs designed to support vulnerable community members who are experiencing homelessness. We will continue to pursue those who steal from the public and hold them accountable.”

“Stealing from programs meant to feed, shelter, and support people experiencing homelessness isn’t just a financial crime – it’s an attack on the most vulnerable communities provided for by HUD programs,” said Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General (HUD-OIG). “HUD-OIG is steadfast in pursuing those who exploit federal housing programs, and this case underscores the strength of our partnerships with law enforcement and prosecutors. Together, we protect taxpayer dollars and deliver justice for victims.”

The two defendants arrested today are expected to make their initial appearances this afternoon in United States District Court in downtown Los Angeles.

The three new criminal cases being announced today are described below, as well as a guilty plea in a previously charged case:

United States v. Young

Michael Young, 46, of Baldwin Hills, a founder of the Culver City-based nonprofit Home At Last (HAL), was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint alleging he engaged in a years-long, complex scheme to defraud taxpayers and public entities providing funding for homeless housing. Some of the affected programs were administered by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the lead agency that coordinates housing and social services for the homeless in Los Angeles County.

Young is charged with wire fraud, a felony that carries a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.

According to the complaint, Young used a web of shell corporations and fraudulent billing practices to misappropriate millions of dollars in taxpayer funds earmarked for homeless housing, including through programs administered by LAHSA.

Among other gross misuses of taxpayer money, Young spent more than $1 million to open and operate a high-end restaurant and nightclub in Inglewood called Six Seven Five Lounge.

Through numerous contracts with LAHSA and other public entities, Young received more than $118 million in public funds from LAHSA, the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. LAHSA alone paid HAL over $75 million for homeless housing services. Young allegedly used a sham vendor fraud to misappropriate more than $7.5 million of these funds.

Young lied repeatedly during the fraud, according to allegations in the complaint, claiming funds would be used for homeless housing or for vendors providing services for homeless housing, when he diverted large amounts of taxpayer money for personal use and unrelated businesses. He created sham vendors to hide self-dealing transactions, submitting fake bids, forged signatures, and fraudulent invoices to make it appear the sham vendors were legitimate, third-party companies, offering fair market services, when in reality, the vendors had no employees, no locations, no legitimate operations, and existed only to funnel public money back to Young.

Young allegedly controlled the sham vendors’ bank accounts and used millions in taxpayer funds for his personal enrichment, including spending millions for his lounge, luxury vacations, vintage car restorations, and commercial properties unrelated to homeless housing.

In June 2026, LAHSA cancelled its contracts with HAL.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kerry L. Quinn, Sarah E. Spielberger, and James C. Hughes (Major Frauds Section), and Tara Vavere (Asset Forfeiture and Recovery Section) for the Central District of California are prosecuting this case.

United States v. Mitchell

Donye Mitchell, 55, also known as “Danya Mitchell,” of Orange, the CEO of a Los Angeles-based homelessness nonprofit, is charged in a federal criminal complaint alleging he was fraudulently awarded more than $1.2 million in grant money from a Los Angeles County-funded nonprofit.

Mitchell is charged with wire fraud, which carries a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. He is considered a fugitive.

According to the complaint, Mitchell is the CEO and executive director of The Big Blue Umbrella (BBU), a Los Angeles-based nonprofit. In January 2024, Mitchell allegedly applied for over $9 million in grant money – and several months later was awarded over $1.2 million – from a separate nonprofit funded by the County of Los Angeles called Epidaurus, which does business as Amity Foundation, to provide housing and mental health services to vulnerable people.

The complaint alleges that Mitchell falsely claimed to Amity that BBU was a major homeless housing provider and misrepresented its work with Special Service for Groups (SSG), through its HOPICS division, a nonprofit administering large amounts of LAHSA funds, despite having no contract and previously displacing SSG clients by failing to pay rent.

After receiving grant funds from Amity Foundation, Mitchell allegedly lied about staffing and spending, instead using the money for personal expenses including inflated salary payments, paying his own bail bond costs, credit card debt, family transfers, rent, and PlayStation charges.

In May 2025, after Amity had disbursed approximately $315,000, it terminated BBU’s contract over concerns that Mitchell was misrepresenting his spending and failing to meet agreed-upon milestones.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sarah E. Spielberger and Kerry L. Quinn (Major Frauds Section) and Juan M. Rodriguez (Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section) for the Central District of California are prosecuting this case.

United States v. Malone

Lakiya Malone, 48, of South Los Angeles and an employee of SSG, was arrested on a 21-count federal indictment accusing her of taking more than $180,000 in bribes and kickbacks from Alexander Soofer, the executive director of the nonprofit Abundant Blessings, who is separately charged and has agreed to plead guilty.

In exchange for the bribes and kickbacks, Malone allegedly provided priority referrals of homeless housing participants, including “ghost” participants who never lived at the sites.

Malone’s role at SSG involved referring homeless individuals to housing sites funded by HUD, LAHSA, and the City and County of Los Angeles. According to the indictment, Soofer paid her through checks made out to her and an entity she controlled, Grateful Hearts Realty & Consulting, disguising the payments as consulting fees. In reality, the payments were tied to the number of referrals Malone sent and to “ghost clients” whose files she helped fabricate with fake welcome letters, forged sign in sheets, and falsified eligibility forms.

Soofer allegedly received more than $17 million from SSG during the scheme, inflated substantially by these fraudulent referrals. Malone faces up to 20 years in prison per wire fraud count, 10 years per bribery count, and five years on the conspiracy charge.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kerry L. Quinn (Major Frauds Section) and Juan M. Rodriguez (Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section) for the Central District of California are prosecuting this case.

United States v. Soofer – Guilty Plea

Relatedly, Soofer has agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering. Soofer admitted in a plea agreement filed today to his role in the bribery scheme with Malone.

He further admitted that he obtained $23 million in public money intended to combat homelessness, at least some of which he admits he obtained through fraud, pocketing at least $2 million in taxpayer money for his own personal enrichment and for businesses unrelated to homeless housing.

Soofer has agreed to forfeit his ill-gotten gains to the U.S. government and is expected to plead guilty to the felony charges in the coming weeks.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kerry L. Quinn (Major Frauds Section), Juan M. Rodriguez (Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section), and Mariam Kaloustian and Thi Ho (Asset Forfeiture and Recovery Section) for the Central District of California are prosecuting this case.

The FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, and HUD-OIG are investigating these cases.

An indictment or complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

September 17, 2026 - Judge Boasberg was a nine-time host for Chinese exchange backed by CCP “political warfare” group

September 17, 2026 - 60–65% of the recent spike in fuel comes from Ukraine's bombing campaign on Russian-refineries

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian forces struck the Yaroslavl oil refinery overnight. The operation involved the SBU, Unmanned Systems Forces, Defense Intelligence (HUR), and Foreign Intelligence Service (SZR). Ukraine’s Security Service also struck a military airfield in Rostov. Confirmed damage includes one An-12, two An-26s, and three helicopters.

The strike comes days after President Donald J. Trump posted to Truth Social on Sept. 14 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to halt strikes on each other’s energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy disputed that any deal was finalized. He said Ukraine would only pause strikes if Russia genuinely stopped hitting Ukraine’s power grid and other critical infrastructure.

Russia has continued striking Ukrainian civilian infrastructure in the same window. A Sept. 12 Russian strike killed nine people and damaged infrastructure across several regions. Attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid have also intensified as winter approaches.

Zelenskyy Brags About NATO Missile Systems Being Used to Attack Moscow and Russian Refineries

(…) Four days ago, the EU oil disruption from Saudi Arabia’s East/West pipeline event was noticed. In the four days between event day and policy day (#4) the EU have been beating the drumbeat for war against Russia.  However, you will notice the shift in tone and policy now that we have reached day four.  Analysis has reached policy makers. You might say reality sets in.

Europe now recognizes a vulnerability that was not in their policy briefs 96 hours earlier.  Things change {SOURCE}, and the quiet stuff starts to become visible. Russia has been sending France oil/gas energy products, quietly. Macron needed the internal stabilization because he’s been up against a wall.  On top of all his other issues, Macron could not afford an energy crisis.

Simultaneously, despite what we have been told by Western media, the 5,000 strike drones into the Moscow region should again be taken in context.  Russia is an analog system in a digital world. Russia is exceptionally resilient and can repair and recover much faster than western analysts ever fathom.  Again, apply the ‘rule of 96.’

Russia is now overproducing diesel fuel. Wait, what(?) you might ask.  It’s true.  Russian strategic diesel fuel reserves are now full and overproducing 15% beyond storage capacity. {SOURCE} So, where is the excess capacity going?  To the “stans” in Central Asia, from there it ships to forward destinations. Turkey is a dependent beneficiary. Do you remember the strategic agreement between the USA and Kazakhstan? {Source}

Russia increased diesel supplies to Mongolia by 73.4% in August from July to 215,000 metric tons, while shipments to Kyrgyzstan surged 16.4 times to 72,000 tons and deliveries to Tajikistan rose 3.5 times to 56,000 tons. Russia also exported 28,000 tons of diesel to Kazakhstan after making no deliveries there in July. {source}

As the Saudi energy disruption, a problem that travels like boxcar impacts in a train collision, now reaches the EU, the NATO alliance begins to react.  Their policy briefs are different than they were four days ago.

Saudi Arabia is now producing again on the previously closed East/West pipeline; however, it will take time to reach the EU.   A policy window is opened by the disruption.  This is the window where President Trump is operating, and it is timed with the UN General Assembly meeting.

Ukraine has attacked at least 27 of Russia’s 32 major oil refineries (those with significant processing capacity). Only five remote plants in eastern Siberia and the Far East remain unhit, as they currently lie beyond the range of Ukraine’s longest-range drones (roughly 3,500–6,500 km from the border).

This figure comes from the International Energy Agency’s September 2026 assessment (data as of late August) and has been cited in subsequent reporting. Many of the targeted plants have been struck repeatedly—some as many as 15 times. Smaller refineries have also been hit, bringing the total number of unique facilities attacked even higher when counting all plants rather than just the major ones. iea.org

The campaign intensified sharply from mid-2025 onward. By mid-2026 Ukraine had already struck all 11 of Russia’s largest refineries, including the previously out-of-reach Omsk plant (Russia’s biggest) in July 2026. Additional strikes continued into September 2026 on previously targeted sites such as the Moscow, Ufa, and Samara-area refineries. united24media.com

Exact counts vary slightly by source depending on how “major” is defined and whether smaller plants are included, but the IEA’s 27-out-of-32 figure for large refineries is the most consistent recent benchmark.(Grok, 9/22/2026)

September 18, 2026 - Trump announces he has banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House for constantly reporting “fake news"

I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

On Saturday, September 19, journalists from the three outlets were denied entry to White House grounds and had their badges confiscated. CNN, Politico, and MS NOW all said they would continue reporting and would challenge the restriction as a violation of the First Amendment. Legal analysts have noted that viewpoint-based exclusion from White House access is likely to face court challenges.
(Grok)

But that’s exactly what @BarackObama did.

— Oct. 22, 2009: Treasury planned to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available to every network pool member except Fox.

— The Washington bureau chiefs of ABC, CBS, CNN & NBC said they wouldn’t interview Feinberg if Fox was shut out, noting it broke pool rules. The administration relented.

— This came amid the broader feud, with Anita Dunn saying “we’re not going to legitimize them as a news organization.”

— At the time, Treasury called it “much ado about absolutely nothing” & denied any plot.

— In 2011, Judicial Watch FOIA’d emails showing otherwise: White House broadcast media director Dag Vega wrote Treasury that they’d prefer Fox be skipped, & Josh Earnest wrote that they’d shown their willingness & ability to exclude Fox from significant interviews.

@jrpsaki called Bret Baier a “lunatic” & joked about putting dead fish in the Fox cubby.

He also spent most of his presidency complaining about Fox News, saying they’re bad for the country, likening them to terrorists, etc.

Trump admin welcomes new media to White House Briefing Room, vows to restore 400+ press passes revoked by Biden (1/28/2025)

If only we had Supreme Court precedents on this exact issue.

Talk to SCOTUS about it.

Houchins v. KQED (1978): The First Amendment does not require the government to give the press access to information or places under government control. It “is neither a Freedom of Information Act nor an Official Secrets Act.” The press’s core protection is the right to communicate information once obtained, not a right to collect it from the government.

Pell v. Procunier (1974) and related cases: The press has no constitutional right to information or locations not available to the public generally.

Zemel v. Rusk (1965): “Entry into the White House [is not] a First Amendment right. The right to speak and publish does not carry with it the unrestrained right to gather information.”

September 18, 2026 - AI doomers at work: Anthropic opens ‘wet lab’ for biology experiments

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei  (Credit: Ludovic MARIN / AFP)

Dario Amodei’s Anthropic, which has spent the last week pushing a campaign of fear about AI advancement, has revealed it built a “wet lab” to conduct AI-driven biology experiments.

Reuters reports that Dario Amodei’s Anthropic has confirmed that it operates a wet biology laboratory in the Bay Area where the company uses its AI models to conduct physical experiments. A wet lab is a facility that specifically deals with hazardous liquids or biological samples.

The revelation comes at an interesting time, as Amodei has led a campaign of AI doomers calling for a slowdown on AI technology across the board. Critics like the Big Short’s Steve Eisman argue that Amodei’s goal is to create a moat around his business to protect it from competition.

Eric Kauderer-Abrams, Anthropic’s head of life sciences, explained the company’s approach to biological research. “We believe that to do biology, the final test is still, and will be for a while, in real lab work,” Kauderer-Abrams told Reuters. “We absolutely are doing that today.” He described the laboratory’s operations as similar to typical biotech facilities, with Anthropic conducting some research internally while also collaborating with external partners.

In April, the company acquired Coefficient Bio, a stealth AI biotech startup, signaling its intentions to expand into biological research. The company indicated that its primary focus is fundamental biology rather than drug discovery. This positioning appears strategic, as Anthropic maintains numerous relationships with major pharmaceutical companies as both customers and partners. The company recently announced a collaboration with Novo Nordisk focused on joint drug discovery efforts.

Last weekend, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei shocked the AI community with a call to slow down AI development in the [n]ame of safety:

Amodei’s essay lays out a three-step plan meant to temper the AI industry’s development pace without stopping it outright. “To be clear, pacing does not mean halting model training or technical progress, but ensuring companies take adequate time to align and safeguard their models, and for third party evaluators to confirm this,” he wrote.

Anthropic claims it has already taken the first step itself. The company has “unilaterally” committed to giving third-party evaluators employee-level access so they can verify its safety practices and report incidents, a move Amodei said comes without “sacrificing commercial advantage or the United States’ lead in AI.” The second step calls on leading AI companies in democratic countries to coordinate around common safety standards. The third, and most ambitious, asks for coordination between democratic and authoritarian governments.

The contrast between these stark warnings and the establishment of a wet biology laboratory has not escaped notice within the technology sector. Investor and AI coding startup founder Chamath Palihapitiya commented on the situation through social media platform X, posting with apparent irony: “The group behind such hits as: ‘We’re All Going To Die’ and ‘Regulate Me Now’ are building a wet lab in SF. I do not recommend this.”

September 17, 2026 - The chief judge of Minneapolis federal bench discloses the collaboration of all judges to obstruct legal proceedings related to immigration cases

In a stunning political move, the chief judge of the Minneapolis federal bench disclosed the behind the scenes collaboration between all judges to thwart legal proceedings related to immigration cases this year.

Patrick Schiltz, who admitted his longtime involvement in a pro-migrant nonprofit, reveals how judges remained on their cell phones nonstop to halt deportation proceedings. And rather than evaluate each case individually—as is required—the judges developed pro forma orders (as I predicted) to immediately stop cases in their tracks.

This is something:

Schiltz: “Some judges built templates of legal orders so they could respond quickly to some of the detention issues that were arising again and again.”

I covered Schiltz’s bogus list of alleged “contempt” by the Trump DOJ earlier this year.

Now Schiltz is backpedaling on his accusations. What appeared to be at the time—according to Schiltz—intentional defiance of court orders, Schiltz now describes as incompetence by prosecutors.

Never mind that Schiltz has now revealed stunning cloakroom collaboration to sabotage each case and create unreasonable deadlines and demands in the process.

“My impression was that most, if not all, of the noncompliance was due to incompetence not due to conscious defiance of orders.”

Correction to first post: It appears Schiltz recently stepped down as chief judge.

According to Schiltz, Schiltz and his colleagues are the only ones stopping the U.S. from turning into a brutal regime.

This is some level of megalomania:

Schiltz: “The rule of law to democracy is like oxygen to a human body. It is something that you absolutely need to survive, and yet it’s something that people just take for granted.

Obedience to court orders, Judge Schiltz said, is why people feel secure owning a home, saving money, getting married and having children.

‘You walk down the street, and you assume you’re generally safe because of the law. It’s the rule of law. If you don’t have it, you have either anarchy or you have authoritarianism. You have Russia or you have China or you have North Korea.”

Judge Patrick Schiltz, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, and his wife were listed in a 2019 annual report for the organization, the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, which routinely condemns the Trump administration and advertises free legal advice for immigrants, refugees and people detained by ICE.

Schiltz told Fox News Digital in a statement he has “donated for many years to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.”

September 19, 2026 - NY AG Letitia James seized nuns’ $19 million two years ago and won’t release it so they can care for aging members

For 123 years, the Sisters of the Congregation of Divine Providence devoted their time and money to help young women in Manhattan through the Jeanne D’Arc Residence.

Jeanne d’Arc Residence is dedicated to creating a welcoming and caring environment for women seeking safe, affordable and temporary housing in . Through the ministry provided at Jeanne d’Arc Residence, the Sisters of Divine Providence are committed to ensuring a Christian environment which serves women of all nationalities, cultures and religions. In this setting, the good news of Jesus Christ is lived and proclaimed in the spirit of Providence.”

The nuns, whose order is based in Kentucky, have seen their number shrink and their population age.  The cost of continuing to run the residence has become too much to bear as they face caring for their own elderly sisters.

The sisters sold the property to John Catsimidis for $22.5 million. Because the property is part of a registered charitable organization, Letitia James’ office must, and did, approve the sale.

But devoting over a century to vulnerable women in the city is not enough for James.  Her office seized the proceeds of the sale and, for two years, has refused to release it to them.

James’ reason? She doesn’t like what the nuns will do with their money.

Per The Free Press:

The ’s office told The Free Press that the religious order never provided “a breakdown of what they plan to do with the funds,” even though Christine Sama, the sisters’ lawyer, had told state officials in a January letter that the money would be used “to carry out the exact same activities as Jeanne d’Arc.”

In an interview, Sama told The Free Press that state officials objected to plans by the religious order to use the money to care for aging sisters at Holy Family Home, the order’s retirement home in Kentucky. They also plan to support their other ministries, which include running a local emergency shelter, supporting immigrant resettlement, and operating health clinics and schools in rural Madagascar.

“They are saying that use is not sufficiently similar” to the building that the sisters sold, Sama said.

James has a history of targeting Catholics. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 9/19/2026)  (Archive)

The property at issue was owned by a New York not-for-profit, The Jeanne d’Arc Residence (originally the Jeanne d’Arc Home for Friendless French Girls), which ran a women’s boarding house in Manhattan for 123 years and planned to dissolve after the sale. James’s office approved the $22.5 million sale to John Catsimatidis’s Red Apple Group and released some funds for carrying costs, taxes, and fees. It has not released the remaining ~$19.3 million because it contends the proposed uses—supporting the Kentucky-based Congregation of Divine Providence’s retirement home for aging sisters plus other ministries (a shelter, immigrant work, and clinics/schools in Madagascar)—are not sufficiently similar to the original New York purpose of housing young women in the city.

That is how the charities-oversight statute works: the AG can condition or withhold release of proceeds until a plan is accepted as consistent with the dissolving charity’s purposes. Whether the AG is applying that standard too rigidly here is a policy and legal dispute; the legal authority being used is the standard N-PCL asset-sale provision, not a one-off targeting law.

September 20, 2026 - Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf refers SoS Jocelyn Benson’s chief attorney to feds for interfering In criminal investigation

In his first of a series of videotaped explanations about his ongoing investigation into a Secretary of State employee’s whistleblower claim, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf explains how the whistleblower — “now a protected confidential informant” — brought his office evidence that “non-citizens were automatically added to Michigan’s voter roll when they changed an address at an SOS branch,” and that his office sent that evidence to the federal government. An SOS manager, Leaf says, admitted knowing about the automatic placements and told the employee not to worry: city clerks would pull the non-citizens off. Leaf calls that a lie. Municipal and county clerks, he says, cannot see citizenship on the Qualified Voter File. “They do not have the data to do so,” he said. Sheriff Leaf says the criminal investigation is ongoing, his office is working with the Department of Justice and Homeland Security, and those agencies have already interviewed witnesses. He calls the case “extremely serious.”

“My office has continued its investigation and is cooperating with the federal government,” Leaf said, adding, “The federal government — the United States Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security — have spoken and interviewed witnesses.”

Watch:

In his second video, Sheriff Dar Leaf says Michigan Department of State Chief Legal Director Khyla D. Craine wrote him that branch staff are not authorized to give law enforcement information on a verbal request, accused him of contacting Elections Director Jonathan Brater outside official channels, and accused him of harassing SOS staff. Leaf posted her letter on his X account.

Sheriff Leaf explained to Benson’s chief legal counsel that he does not need her permission to interview witnesses in a criminal investigation that includes SOS management and the automatic placement of non-citizens on the voter roll — and that going through her “chain of command” is how obstruction happens. The sheriff says he is referring Craine to the federal government for “obstruction of justice, witness intimidation, and related charges.”

“Ms. Craine, your law license does not give you permission to violate the law or obstruct criminal investigations. The non-citizen investigation is a federal investigation. Michigan just held a primary election for federal offices, and in November of 2026 a general election will be held. You may not interfere with any law enforcement investigation,” Sheriff Leaf warned.

In his next video, Sheriff Dar Leaf hits Jocelyn Benson’s Director of Elections, the same incompetent election official who was behind ensuring the Citizens Only Voting petition with over 700K signatures from citizens across the state was rejected in the 11th hour by the Board of Canvassers after he and his crack staff of “signature experts” determined that the petition was 3 signatures short of being qualified after their “random sampling” turned up signatures that they deemed to be mismatches with the QVF.

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf says the purge started as soon as he went public with the whistleblower’s claim. In the clip he calls “part two,” Leaf says that immediately after his press release about a Secretary of State whistleblower, Michigan Elections Director “Jonathan Brater and staff working under him began pulling people off the Qualified Voter File and told municipal clerks to delete the local master cards.” He explains, “Those cards,” Leaf says, “are the clerk’s proof that a person was on the roll.” He cites MCL 168.514, which requires a canceled master card be kept for years, and calls Brater’s instruction unlawful. Leaf says “Brater has testified under oath that the state does not keep a permanent QVF record — so the master card is the evidence of who is being removed.” Leaf says, “Ordering those cards destroyed is destruction of evidence of illegal registrations.” He says “his investigation, like the federal investigation, is ongoing.”

Watch

My investigation has been obstructed by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and her staff!”

The third and final video says his investigation — like the federal one — is ongoing and he is required to interview witnesses. He went to talk to a manager who, Leaf says, documented the automatic registration of non-citizens on the voter roll. The man gave him a scripted answer: the Secretary of State’s office would not let him speak. Leaf says asking for a full name and date of birth is standard in any case, including a murder investigation, and that he will document every witness and suspect the same way. He says that an employee and a district manager were told in advance not to cooperate. He recorded the interviews.

“I went to interview a critical witness — a manager who documented the non-citizen automatic registration on the voter roll. I was polite to this witness, and he gave me a scripted response that he was not permitted by the Secretary of State’s office to speak with me,” Sheriff Leaf explained.

Watch:

In his final video, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf claims there is a cover-up that includes gagging witnesses and wiping poll books. In his latest video he says his office has evidence that Melissa Thomas and other managers are telling whistleblowers they may not report crimes to law enforcement — conduct he calls a crime — and that Thomas will be referred for a federal investigation. Leaf says that on September 16, 2026, a Court of Appeals judge told Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to notify all clerks that electronic poll book data must be preserved and issued an injunction barring deletion of that data in Washtenaw County. Municipal clerks, he says, report they never got that email. The Barry County Sheriff’s Office is now telling every clerk to keep electronic poll book data from all elections for 22 months, as required by federal law and MCL 168.811. Anyone with information, Leaf says, can contact his office and be treated as a confidential informant.

September 21, 2026 - Paramount CEO David Ellison clears final legal hurdles to purchase CNN and CBS

While MAGA celebrated and approved of Trump’s action to kick CNN, MSNOW and Politico out of the White House press pool, I think there’s something bigger happening.

Does anybody think the timing was a coincidence?

What are the odds that Trump knew all about this coming agreement?

(Brave search)

“On September 21, 2026, Paramount reached a settlement with a 12-state antitrust lawsuit, clearing the final legal hurdle for the deal.”

“CEO David Ellison stated the acquisition is expected to close in approximately two weeks, placing CNN and CBS News under the same corporate ownership by early October.”

David Ellison is a huge Trump supporter and a “strategic partner” in Trump’s PLAN.

If you don’t have a Paramount+ account, I would encourage you. It’s going to continue to grow and rival all the leftwing streaming and Hollywood propagandists.

Landman and Lioness are two excellent series with more conservative themes and truth.

But how do you transform the Mockingbird media and how do you PREVENT it from becoming centralized and controlled in the future?

COMPETITION.

Trump included CNN in the White House ban for a reason.

They are about to get a new “boss” that is going to demand fair and honest news reporting.

What does that ultimately mean?

Many of the current broadcast personalities on CNN, aren’t going to be working there much longer.

Bari Weiss has ALREADY started a house cleaning at CBS News and the left was having a stroke.

Trump placed CNN, who touts themselves as a “news” organization, in the same category as MSNOW and Politico, which everyone knows are partisan rags.

Even fake FOX News is objecting.

Why would FOX News stand with their “competitor” instead of celebrating their demise?

Because politics is just a GAME.

A GAME of division to pit one side against the other and distract the people.

Left vs right.

Liberal vs conservative.

It’s a joke. Both sides lie to their audiences in order to influence them rather than just reporting the TRUTH.

I don’t believe FOX News would be protesting Trump’s move if he hadn’t included CNN.

Both networks create “material” for each other, while preaching to the choir.

And at the same time, downplaying and ignoring everything that’s important.

Especially Trump’s many unprecedented accomplishments.

By kicking CNN out of the White House, Trump has helped “set the table” for Ellison to step to the plate and demand a complete transformation of CNN and a return to news reporting.

We are only at the beginning.

Wait till FOX News has to compete with CBS and CNN for “fair and balanced” news coverage.

Ellison’s purchase is THE GAME CHANGER.

The PLAN in action for anybody willing to see it.

Trump is looking far into the future.

September 21, 2026 - Biden DOJ buried photos exposing the two-tiered "justice" system that shielded Joe Biden while trying to destroy Donald Trump

The Oversight Project secured and is releasing photographic evidence from the search of the Penn Biden Center and Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home — images the government fought for years to keep hidden, and pried loose only after sustained litigation by the Oversight Project. The pictures confirm what many suspected all along: Joe Biden got the kid-glove treatment, while President Trump was presumed guilty.

The newly released photos show FBI agents at the Penn Biden Center and Biden’s Wilmington home handling classified materials with visible care — organized, contained, undisturbed, and literally wearing gloves. Compare that to Mar-a-Lago, where agents dumped documents across the floor for cameras to capture — images that were leaked and blasted across every front page within days, priming the public to see Trump as guilty before a single charge was filed. Two completely different postures — one designed to protect a reputation, the other to destroy one.

At Mar-a-Lago, agents laid classified cover sheets on top of Trump’s documents before photographing them — a choice that manufactured the visual impression of grave, top-secret material, feeding a media narrative before any legal process had run its course. At Biden’s properties, no such cover sheets appear. The documents were cataloged without the theatrical markers that had turned Trump’s search into a media event — even though, by DOJ’s own admission, Biden retained genuinely classified material too, even though as a prior Senator and Vice President, he had zero authority to declassify documents by oral or written order or by course of conduct, distinguishing him from President Trump in January 2021. The message the photos send is unmistakable: create the appearance of danger when it’s Trump, but quietly minimize it when it’s Biden.

As the photographic evidence demonstrates, Biden commingled the classified information in his desk drawer as part of his notes gathering process for writing his book “Promise Me, Dad.” This establishes that Biden not only removed classified information from the White House when he left as Vice President (18 USC 1924), but he did so for the purpose of disclosing that information (18 USC 798) to make money. With these facts established, the Department of Justice should immediately renew its investigation to determine if it is proper to claw back the profits that Joe Biden made from the book because those profits were made as a result of his unauthorized retention and disclosure of classified information.

These photos are not just historical curiosities — they are proof. Proof that the FBI and DOJ made deliberate choices at every stage of these two investigations: how documents were handled, how images were staged, and how those images were released to the public. Every one of those choices broke in the same direction — toward protecting Joe Biden and toward incriminating Donald Trump in the court of public opinion before he ever saw the inside of a courtroom. The American people deserve equal justice under the law. These images show they didn’t get it. The Oversight Project will continue to pursue records the government would rather keep buried.

Oversight Project President Mike Howell gave this statement:

“The Oversight Project is a dog on the bone. We don’t get accountability as much as we should because people simply move on. We don’t. What Biden did to this country was awful and so many people in positions of authority looked the other way or gave him amnesty for blatant abuse of our laws.”

Oversight Project Vice President of Litigation Jeff Clark gave this statement:

“The photographic evidence released today lays bare a glaring double standard in how the Department of Justice and the FBI conduct high-profile investigations. While President Trump was subjected to a public spectacle designed to prejudge his guilt, the Biden handling was managed with kid gloves to protect a reputation. The American people expect and deserve equal justice under the law, and we will continue using every legal avenue to ensure transparency and accountability. DOJ should now claw Joe Biden’s book profits from him.”

September 22, 2026 - Watchdog urges DHS to review Microsoft contracts over ex-FBI official’s ‘shadow government’ remark

Democracy Restored sent a letter to DHS Secretary Mullin calling for a review of the department’s contracts with Microsoft.

Recently declassified documents revealed the company’s director of insider risk, former FBI official Nikki Floris, allegedly withheld CCP election interference intelligence from the president ahead of the 2020 election. Floris also claimed that she was “basically running a shadow government across the FBI.”

Floris’ alleged activity and subsequent employment with one of the largest government vendors that handles critical digital infrastructure and services necessitates serious scrutiny. Especially in light of Microsoft’s recent history with contracting engineers based in China.

September 22, 2026 - DHS releases a list of false claims about the shooting of illegal alien in Texas

DHS releases a bullet-point list of what they say are false claims about the shooting of a Venezuelan illegal alien in Austin, TX. They say claims that he was legal and had a valid work permit are false.

Per DHS:

“CLAIM: ICE refused to remove the bullet from the illegal alien’s body.

FACT: This is false. ICE does not and would not advise, nor be the authority on, a medical procedure for an illegal alien at a hospital.

CLAIM: The illegal alien had a valid work permit.

FACT: This is false. The illegal alien’s work permit expired in 2025. Furthermore, a work permit does NOT grant legal status.

CLAIM: The illegal alien was ordered removed in absentia.

FACT: Yes. This is why aliens must show up to their removal proceedings. Legal obligations do not end because someone’s address changed.

CLAIM: This illegal alien is here legally.

FACT: This is false. This person is in the U.S. illegally. He entered illegally under the Biden Administration. The illegal alien had no valid work permit, had no protective status, and had a final order of removal from a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge.

CLAIM: This illegal alien has received no pain medication.

FACT: This is false. This illegal alien is receiving medical care around the clock, including pain medication.

CLAIM: The illegal alien has been forced to sleep on the floor.

FACT: This is false. This alien was released from the hospital and arrived at the detention facility just a few hours later, where he slept on a bed. Aliens in ICE custody receive a higher standard of living than most prisons that hold U.S. citizens.

CLAIM: This illegal alien was indiscriminately targeted by ICE.

FACT: This is false. This illegal alien was the subject of a targeted vehicle stop. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.

DHS Sec. Mullin statement:

“Sanctuary politicians and the mainstream media have wasted no time in spreading lies about an ICE officer-involved shooting of an illegal alien in Austin, Texas,” said Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “Contrary to their claims, this person is an illegal alien who has no legal status to be here and has been given some of the best medical care he’s ever received in his life. No amount of smears and false narratives will slow down ICE from doing its job by removing dangerous illegal aliens from our communities and making America safe again. Sanctuary politicians may continue to shamelessly protect illegal aliens, but the Trump Administration will remain focused on protecting the American people.”

AUSTIN’S POLICE CHIEF JUST TORCHED THE LEFT’S ICE SHOOTING NARRATIVE IN REAL TIME.

A city councilman ran to the cameras claiming ICE sideswiped a man and shot him five times through the back window. The chief said that is not what he’s hearing. There was a small foot pursuit. It was one gunshot wound. The man’s wife already admitted he tried to drive off while agents were on him, even with an ICE vehicle blocking his car.

He is alive and stable. The activists still got their smear out first. This is how they operate. Lie early, print loud, correct never.

Wait for the facts. Back the officers. Stop letting city hall write the crime scene before the police do. https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2101789607964889248/video/1

September 22, 2026 - Secretary Hegseth directs the Department of War to treat foreign election interference as a priority mission for the 2026 midterms

Secretary Hegseth is directing the Department of War to treat foreign election interference as a priority mission for the 2026 midterms. 🔥

In a Sept. 22nd memo to U.S. Cyber Command, NSA, DIA, and NGA, he ordered three things:

1. Prioritize intel and cyber work so foreign actors cannot meddle in U.S. voting systems.

2. Have the Defense Intelligence Enterprise collect and produce on foreign threats to the elections, within existing law and policy.

3. Have Cyber Command work with DHS to counter foreign cyber threats aimed at the elections.

“As President Trump has emphasized, “free and fair elections are the foundation of our republic” and we must always work to protect our voting systems because “no country can be great without fair elections.””

“Freedom does not happen by accident. It requires constant vigilance, and today, that responsibility falls heavily on the DIE.

I am therefore directing the entire DIE to mobilize every authorized asset, capability, and partnership under your command to defend our election infrastructure from foreign malign influence and ensure that every lawful voter can cast their ballot free from foreign intimidation, coercion, or fear. In America, the people rule — and we must ensure that their voice remains sovereign, secure, and entirely undiluted.”

September 22, 2026 - Trump admin eliminates 760,000 bogus Obamacare enrollments

Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force is poised to boot more than 700,000 individuals from the Affordable Care Act’s exchanges amid alleged fraud, The Wall Street Journal first reported Tuesday.

Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz plan to announce they are halting subsidy payments for allegedly improper and fraudulent ACA enrollments for 760,000 individual accounts, the WSJ reported, citing anonymous Trump administration officials. The move comes as the administration has been cracking down on healthcare fraud ahead of November’s midterm elections.

According to the administration officials, the enforcement action would save an estimated $2.2 billion in taxpayer funding, the WSJ reported.

Officials also told the outlet that those enrollees include individuals who did not realize that they were enrolled in Obamacare, are ineligible to be enrolled in the ACA’s exchanges because they already have employer-sponsored healthcare or earn an annual income more than 400% above the federal poverty level.
