The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can ‘reprogram’ children’s immune systems for up to six months after vaccination, impacting the body’s ability to counteract other pathogens, according to a new study published in the renowned Frontiers in Immunology.
The study, to which a total of ten academics and professors contributed, took samples of a blood stimulation assay from 29 children aged between five and 11, which were taken 28 days after the second vaccine and then again six months later.

The researchers found that the mRNA vaccines altered cytokine (small proteins controlling the growth and activity of immune and blood cells) responses in the body, “particularly one month after vaccination.”
“Our results add to the evolving evidence that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses,” the researchers claim upon publication of the results.
The results emphasize “the need for further research and consideration of heterologous effects in vaccination policies given their broad public health implications,” the researchers added.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Rep. Andy Ogles, Zohran Kwame Mamdani, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice, and the Holy Land Foundation
📍WHEN & WHERE: Washington, D.C., June 26, 2025
💬KEY QUOTE: “If Mr. Mamdani concealed relevant associations, that concealment may constitute a material misrepresentation sufficient to support denaturalization under federal law.” – Rep. Andy Ogles
🎯IMPACT: The DOJ could initiate denaturalization proceedings, placing Mamdani’s U.S. citizenship and mayoral candidacy under legal and political threat.
IN FULL
Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally requested that the U.S. Department of Justice investigate Zohran Kwame Mamdani, the Democrats’ New York City mayoral candidate, for potential denaturalization under 8 U.S.C. § 1451(a). The letter, dated June 26, 2025, accuses Mamdani of having possibly obtained his U.S. citizenship through “willful misrepresentation or concealment of material support for terrorism.”
Citing a June 21 New York Post article, Ogles noted Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, has rapped lyrics praising the Holy Land Foundation—an organization convicted in 2008 for providing material support to Hamas, a designated terrorist group. Mamdani had rapped, “Free the Holy Land Five / My guys,” which Ogles says raises serious concerns about sympathies that should have been disclosed during Mamdani’s naturalization process.
Mamdani, as well as being an avowed socialist who supports far-left policies including abolishing prisons and defunding the police, is a member of Shia Islam’s extreme “Twelver” sect, which holds that a 1,200-year-old prophet is hidden among us, ready to emerge and spread Islam worldwide.
“There is credible evidence that Mr. Mamdani concealed material information or made material misrepresentations sufficient to support denaturalization,” Ogles wrote, arguing that praising terrorists could warrant legal scrutiny under current naturalization laws. The GOP lawmaker emphasized the need to investigate whether Mamdani had undisclosed affiliations or supported designated terrorist organizations before receiving citizenship.
Ogles also referenced Mamdani’s recent refusal to denounce calls to “Globalize the Intifada,” describing this as a troubling pattern that “warrants formal scrutiny.”
“The federal government must uphold public trust by ensuring that citizenship is not granted under false pretenses,” the letter concluded. Ogles called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to determine whether Mamdani’s conduct before naturalization warrants federal action.
Zohran “little muhammad” Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Kristi Noem ended a costly program promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in schools.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The program was terminated during the Trump administration, following its implementation under President Biden.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This program was not only wasteful, it was also using public money to support an openly partisan and political organization.” – Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary
🎯IMPACT: The termination of the program is projected to save DHS over $1.5 million and signals a shift from DEI-focused policies.
IN FULL
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have ended a multimillion-dollar program initially intended to help students prevent terror and violence in their communities. The program, known as Invent2Prevent, was repurposed by the former Biden regime to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and LGBT ideology in schools, often via partisan nonpartisans.
Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, said, “This program was not only wasteful, it was also using public money to support an openly partisan and political organization. Politicized NGOs like Eradicate Hate have been siphoning away taxpayer dollars for far too long. We are ending the grift.”
The DHS estimates that cutting the program will save more than $1.5 million. The Invent2Prevent website now displays a banner indicating the content is archived and may not reflect current policies.
The Biden regime’s push for DEI policies extended across the private and public sectors, including an executive order signed on his first day in office titled “Advancing Equity and Racial Justice Through the Federal Government.” However, DEI policies became a focal point in the 2024 presidential campaign, with then-candidate Donald J. Trump criticizing them as part of the woke agenda.
President Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, titled “Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing.” The order called for the termination of discriminatory programs, prompting companies like Amazon and Goldman Sachs to follow suit in scrapping DEI-related initiatives. Trump also issued a memorandum in March to remove DEI from the Foreign Service, emphasizing a merit-based approach throughout the government.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The lawsuit was filed recently in response to a federal court order in Maryland.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This is just the latest action by [Attorney General Pam Bondi’s] DOJ to rein in unlawful judicial overreach.” – DOJ spokesman Chad Gilmartin.
🎯IMPACT: The legal battle highlights growing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary over immigration enforcement and judicial activism.
IN FULL
The Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against Maryland’s federal judges, challenging an order that prevents the deportation of illegal immigrants for at least one day after they file legal challenges to their detention. The lawsuit specifically targets Chief Judge George Russell’s directive, which grants a temporary stay of deportation to detainees who claim wrongful detention.
Chad Gilmartin, spokesman for Attorney General Pam Bondi, stated on X, “This is just the latest action by [Attorney General Pam Bondi’s] DOJ to rein in unlawful judicial overreach.” The legal dispute underscores the administration’s broader efforts to assert control over immigration policy and push back against judicial interference.
The Maryland federal court recently became a focal point in immigration debates when Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran national, was deported and later returned to the U.S. following a Supreme Court order. Abrego Garcia now faces charges of unlawfully trafficking illegal immigrants. Judge Paula Xinis, overseeing his case, is considering sanctions against government officials for initially refusing to release him from custody.
The Justice Department argues that such judicial orders represent an “unlawful, antidemocratic” use of power to restrain the executive branch. “A sense of frustration and a desire for greater convenience do not give defendants license to flout the law,” DOJ attorneys wrote in their filing. “Nor does their status within the judicial branch.”
The lawsuit has drawn criticism from Maryland’s Democratic Governor, Wes Moore, who called it “a transparent effort to intimidate judges and usurp the power of the courts.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “Several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years,” stated Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Ratcliffe.
🎯IMPACT: The administration plans to restrict classified information sharing on CAPNET, citing concerns over leaks.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump intends to limit the sharing of classified information with Congress after an early Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment on the Iran bombing damage was leaked. The “low-confidence” report, shared on CAPNET—a system used by Congress to access classified information—late Monday, suggested that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday had only set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few months. It also suggested that much of Iran’s enriched uranium had been moved before the strikes.
Notably, CNN’s Natasha Bertrand, a journalist notorious for laundering stories for partisan actors within the intelligence community and a key figure in the Hunter Biden laptop coverup and Russiagate hoax, reported a portion of the assessment on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, President Trump dismissed the leaked intelligence as “very inconclusive” while speaking in The Hague alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also addressed the leaked report, calling it “preliminary” and “low-confidence,” adding, “This is a political motive here.” The Defense Secretary stated that the Pentagon has initiated a criminal investigation into the leaked top-secret report.
Consequently, the administration plans to restrict postings on CAPNET. “Go figure: Almost as soon as we put the information on CAPNET, it leaks,” an administration source stated. “There’s no reason to do this again.”
Despite the preliminary DIA assessment, more thorough reports from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israeli intelligence indicate that Iran’s nuclear sites suffered extensive damage. “Several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years,” stated CIA director John Ratcliffe. This assessment is backed by additional analysis from the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The case stems from a 2018 executive order in South Carolina, with the Supreme Court issuing its ruling on June 26, 2025.
🎯IMPACT: The decision could pave the way for a number of state governments to bar Planned Parenthood from qualifying for Medicaid funding, delivering a significant financial blow to the abortion provider.
IN FULL
The Supreme Court has ruled that South Carolina has the authority to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics, siding with the state in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic. Medicaid and government grants comprise a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding, meaning the ruling likely signifies a substantial financial blow to the nation’s largest abortion provider.
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (R) signed an executive order in 2018 directing the removal of abortion clinics, including Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, from the Medicaid provider list. McMaster argued that public health dollars directed to Planned Parenthood effectively subsidized abortions. Federal law already prohibits Medicaid funds from being used for abortions except under limited circumstances.
Planned Parenthood South Atlantic contended that the issue was not about abortion but about access to general healthcare services, including contraception, cancer screenings, and STI testing. The organization operates just two clinics in South Carolina. The abortion provider argued that blocking Medicaid funding could significantly impact patients’ access to “care.”
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood, stating that Medicaid patients could sue to protect their individual right to choose a qualified provider. However, the Supreme Court found that the lower court misinterpreted precedent and that it “permits private plaintiffs to sue for violations of federal spending-power statutes only in ‘atypical’ situations, Talevski, 599 U. S., at 183, where the provision in question ‘clear[ly]’ and ‘unambiguous[ly]’ confers an individual ‘right.'”

📍WHEN & WHERE: June 2025, during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The reality is that the Earth’s temperature has never been static, right? We can both agree on that. It’s always been up and down.” – Joe Rogan.
🎯IMPACT: Rogan used data to counter Sanders’ claims, sparking debate over the interpretation of climate change statistics.
IN FULL
Joe Rogan clashed with Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Tuesday, disputing the 83-year-old socialist’s assertion that the Earth is experiencing unprecedented warming due to climate change. Sanders claimed, “I think the last ten years have been the warmest on record,” while advocating for green energy initiatives.
Rogan countered, “The reality is that the Earth’s temperature has never been static, right? We can both agree on that. It’s always been up and down. There’s been ice ages and heat waves. And then, The Washington Post looked at it… Essentially, they found that we’re in a cooling period.”
Rogan referenced a Washington Postarticle that reported the hottest temperature in Earth’s history occurred nearly 100 million years ago, with an average of 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This contrasts sharply with the 2023 average of 58.86 degrees Fahrenheit. Rogan added, “This was, like, a very inconvenient discovery. But they had to report the data, and kudos to them for doing that.”
Sanders, appearing unprepared to address Rogan’s points, responded, “Well, I’m not sure. I didn’t read that article, but—but the scientists who are out there—I think—” before Rogan interrupted, pointing out the financial incentives tied to climate change narratives. “There’s a lot of money involved in this, this whole climate change emergency issue. And there’s a lot of control,” Rogan said.
While Sanders pivoted to discussing China’s carbon footprint and the global nature of climate change, he provided no examples to support his claims of increasing extreme weather disturbances. “All I can tell you is that we are, in my view, going to see more extreme weather disturbances in the coming years than we have ever. We’re seeing them right now,” he claimed.
While Sanders largely shares the same views as Democrats on climate change, he has come into conflict with the party after claiming Democrats have abandoned their traditional working-class base. Last November, the DNC attacked Sanders, calling his comments “straight up BS.” Earlier this year, in March, Sanders even praised President Donald J. Trump for his border policies and for cracking down on the smuggling of the deadly drug fentanyl.

Sanders: Some people think climate change is a hoax. It ain’t a hoax. I think the last 10 years have been the warmest on record.

🎯IMPACT: The testimony sheds light on the internal processes surrounding Biden’s use of autopen signatures and raises questions about transparency and oversight.
IN FULL
Neera Tanden, a senior aide to former PresidentJoe Biden, testified before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday in a closed-door session. Serving as Domestic Policy Council director and staff secretary from 2021 to 2023, Tanden was empowered to authorize the use of the autopen to sign orders and legislation on behalf of the President, but she admitted to the committee that she was unaware of who actually gave final approval before its use. The autopen was used, especially in the final year of Biden’s term in office, to sign numerous pardons, memos, executive orders, and other presidential directives.
According to Tanden’s testimony, the approval process for using the autopen was inherited from previous administrations. She explained that decision memos were sent to Biden’s inner circle for approval. However, Tanden reiterated that she was unaware of who specifically gave the final clearance and admitted that she had limited interaction with Biden during her tenure.
When asked whether she had discussed Biden’s health or fitness to serve as President, Tanden denied having such conversations. Lawmakers provided a list of officials she could have potentially discussed these issues with, but Tanden responded “no” to each name, according to sources familiar with the testimony.
Speaking to reporters after the session, Tanden said, “I just spoke with the House Oversight Committee, Majority and Minority Council. I answered every question, was pleased to discuss my public service and it was a thorough process. And I’m glad I answered everyone’s question.” When asked if there was any effort to conceal Biden’s condition, she responded, “Absolutely not.”
The investigation continues as the Oversight Committee plans to hear testimony from other key figures, including Biden’s former White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and several other senior advisors. The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that Anthony Bernal, a senior adviser to Jill Biden described as the “Wizard of Oz” who ran the Biden White House, is refusing to testify, though Oversight chairman James Comer (R-KY) said the committee will move to subpoena Bernal. Additional aides facing subpoenas are Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, and communications advisor Anita Dunn.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The strikes targeted Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in Iran, with their impact discussed during a Pentagon press conference on Thursday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it’s in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump.” – Pete Hegseth
🎯IMPACT: Iran’s nuclear program has been “severely damaged.”
IN FULL
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the U.S. military’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities during a Pentagon press conference on Thursday, describing the operation as a success that “devastated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The strikes, part of “Operation Midnight Hammer,” targeted three key nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Hegseth emphasized that the operation avoided targeting Iranian troops or civilians.
Hegseth commended President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, calling the mission “bold” and “brilliant,” while praising the American pilots who flew 36 hours through hostile territory to execute the operation. He criticized media outlets such as The New York Times and CNN for spreading “fake news” via deep state leakers and misrepresenting the mission’s success, which he said undermines the efforts of the pilots involved.
Citing a United Nations nuclear agency, Hegseth noted that the damage to Iran’s nuclear program was described as “enormous.” CIA Director John Ratcliffe also confirmed that the program had been “severely damaged.” Addressing the media directly, Hegseth accused them of bias, stating, “You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it’s in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump.”
Notably, the preliminary, low-confidence assessment that the strikes may have only set Iran’s nuclear ambitions back by months was leaked to Natasha Bertrand, a promoter of the Russiagate hoax who was previously used by defense and intelligence community partisans to wrongly suggest that Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” was likely Russian disinformation prior to the 2020 election. Hegseth said the Iran leakers have an “agenda,” and has previously warned there will be a criminal investigation into them.
Hegseth warned Iran that any forceful retaliation would result in a U.S. response “significantly exceeding” the initial strikes. He stressed that while the U.S. does not seek war, it remains ready to act decisively to protect its interests and allies. He also questioned the lack of media focus on the challenges faced by the pilots, asking, “How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don’t know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story, how hard that is?”
President Trump praised Hegseth’s performance at the conference on his Truth Social platform, writing, “One of the greatest, most professional, and most ‘confirming’ News Conferences I have ever seen! The Fake News should fire everyone involved in this Witch Hunt, and apologize to our great warriors, and everyone else!”

The outlets did caveat that their reports were based on “early findings” and “could change.”
The New York Times exposed its bias by framing the story as one that “Upends Victory Lap Trump Was Hoping for.”
The Trump administration responds:
President Trump said: “[T]hey’re both, disgusting, disgusting, really horrible groups of people. The pilots did an unbelievable job like nobody’s ever seen. They hit pay dirt.”
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the leak was “flat-out wrong” and came from a “low-level loser.” She added: “Everyone knows what happens when you drop 14 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubiosaid: “This is what a leaker is telling you the intelligence says… They characterize it for you in a way that is absolutely false.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsethsaid: “Then the instinct of CNN and New York Times is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons.”
Zoom out: It’s worth noting that this leak from the Pentagon went to CNN’s Natasha Bertrand, who also famously reported that the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
How about a neutral source? The UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said satellite images from Fordow and Natanz facilities revealed more damage than originally thought, including possible chemical contamination from the nuclear material.
How about a source in the region? According to the CIA, citing a “historically reliable” source, the nuclear program was “severely damaged” and “would have to be rebuilt over the course of years.”
The last word goes to goes to Iran itself, whose Foreign Ministry spokesman admitted to Al Jazeera news that “our nuclear installations have been badly damaged” by the U.S. strikes.

🎯IMPACT: Heightened scrutiny of Chinese students and researchers, with a focus on those studying critical fields or linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
IN FULL
Thousands of Chinese nationals posing as students have been denied entry into the United States after revelations of espionage linked to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The scheme, first exposed in 2020, involved operatives being placed at American universities and research centers to steal intellectual property and sensitive information.
Experts estimate that 10,000 Chinese students in the U.S. may be Communist Party agents tasked with acquiring technology, health, and defense secrets. Recently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested two Chinese nationals tied to the University of Michigan for attempting to smuggle a toxic fungus into the country, an act described as “agro-terrorism.”
“The alleged actions of these Chinese nationals—including a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party—are of the gravest national security concerns,” stated U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. The State Department has intensified its efforts to identify and block individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party or those studying in critical fields from entering the U.S.
While a court injunction currently prevents the deportation of students already in the country, the Trump administration previously ordered U.S. embassies to deny visas to new applicants. Tammy Bruce, a State Department spokeswoman, emphasized, “We use every tool that we have to vet and to make sure we know who’s coming in.”
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely warned that the Chinese regime carefully selects students bound for U.S. institutions, briefing them to report their findings to Chinese intelligence operatives. “It’s a very well-organized, very well-programmed operation,” Vallely explained. Nearly 300,000 Chinese students were studying in the U.S. during the 2023–24 academic year, including at New York University, where Barron Trump is enrolled.
Chinese infiltration was seen as early as 2021 when the Harvard Kennedy School collaborated with several CCP propaganda arms looking to influence Western organisations.
