Former Vice President Mike Pence has bizarrely suggested that his Republican opponents in the 2024 nominee race – former President Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – are responsible for Hamas’ violent terrorist incursion into Israel over the weekend.
Pence made the remarks during an interview with CNN on Sunday, initially blaming President Joe Biden’s foreign policy on issues ranging from Afghanistan to the Iran nuclear deal before taking aim at his GOP adversaries.

“I also believe this is what happens when we have leading voices like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis signalling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world. What happened in Ukraine was an unprovoked invasion by Russia, what happened this weekend was an unprovoked invasion by Hamas into Israel,” claimed Pence.
The former Vice President has become increasingly critical of Donald Trump’s populist policies in recent weeks, despite himself having worked side-by-side with the 45th President throughout the administration. He even claims that Trump’s populism is a “road to ruin.”
Pence’s presidential campaign has hitherto completely failed to get off the ground, and has not been able to poll consistently higher than five percent.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
📍WHEN & WHERE: July 2025, Glasgow Airport, Scotland.
💬KEY QUOTE: “You better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore.” – President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Trump’s comments add pressure on British leadership to address rising illegal immigration issues.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump arrived in Scotland for a four-day visit and immediately addressed Britain’s illegal immigration issues. He urged Britain to “get its act together” to stop what he described as a “horrible invasion” affecting Europe.
“You better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore,” he said shortly after landing. “You’ve got to stop this horrible invasion that is happening to Europe, many countries in Europe.”
He continued: “Some leaders have not let it happen, and they’re not getting the proper credit… I could name them to you right now, but I’m not going to embarrass the other ones. But stop, this immigration is killing Europe.”
The America First leader highlighted his administration’s success in halting illegal entries, saying, “Last month we had nobody entering our country.”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, of the left-wing Labour Party, faces increasing pressure to tackle illegal migration, with tens of thousands of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats this year, with virtually none of them being deported. Many are being housed in often luxurious hotels at the taxpayers’ expense, despite being largely unvetted, with some committing crimes that have prompted riotous protests in recent weeks.
Trump plans to meet with Sir Keir and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during his British trip. Despite his critical stance on the British premier’s handling of immigration, Trump commended the Prime Minister for successfully negotiating a U.S. trade deal—only possible as a result of Brexit—stating, “He got a trade deal done… It’s a good deal for the UK.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: President Trump made the statements on July 25
💬KEY QUOTE: “He’s done criminal acts, there’s no question about it. But he has immunity, and it probably helps him a lot… he owes me big, Obama owes me big,” Trump said.
🎯IMPACT: The SCOTUS ruling could prevent Obama from facing any criminal liability, but other former administration members may not get the same protection.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump said on Friday that former President Barack Hussein Obama “owes me big” following a Supreme Court ruling that affirmed broad presidential immunity. The statement comes after Trump accused Obama of being the “ringleader” of Russiagate and called for a criminal investigation.
On July 22, following the release of new evidence by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, Trump said that Obama and members of his administration had “manufactured” intelligence to tie him to Russia. “He’s done criminal acts, there’s no question about it. But he has immunity, and it probably helps him a lot… He owes me big, Obama owes me big,” Trump said July 25, adding: “It probably helps him a lot… the immunity ruling, but it doesn’t help the people around him at all.”
The House Intelligence Committee concluded that the U.S. intelligence community lacked direct evidence in 2016 that Russian President Vladimir Putin aimed to help Trump win the presidency. Despite this, the committee alleges that under “unusual” orders from then-President Obama, U.S. agencies disseminated “potentially biased” intelligence.
A declassified report prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and dated September 18, 2020, revealed that just five Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analysts, directed by senior intelligence officials and political appointees, produced the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) published shortly before Trump’s inauguration.
“The draft was not properly coordinated within CIA or the IC, ensuring it would be published without significant challenges to its conclusions,” the committee report noted. It further noted that the 2017 ICA was rushed to completion, driven by pressure from then-CIA Director John Brennan and others to include the bogus anti-Trump Steele Dossier, which was “based largely on internet rumor.”
Tulsi Gabbard said this week that “deep state obstacles” had delayed the release of this information. “There are a lot of deep state actors still here within Washington. President Trump wants us to find the truth. I want to find that truth. The American people deserve the truth, and they deserve accountability,” Gabbard said.

🎯IMPACT: Tesla faces significant challenges as it seeks regulatory approval and attempts to address technical issues in its push for autonomous ride-hailing services.
IN FULL
Tesla is preparing to expand its robotaxi service to San Francisco, following its limited and problematic launch in Austin, Texas. According to an internal memo, the rollout could begin as soon as this week, with plans to cover a large portion of the Bay Area.
However, Tesla will deploy a so-called human safety operator in the driver’s seat, indicating the company is not yet confident in its autonomous technology or is unable to secure full regulatory approval. Tesla’s head of artificial intelligence (AI) software, Ashok Elluswamy, acknowledged the limited rollout during an earnings report earlier this week, stating: “We will launch the service with a person in the driver’s seat just to expedite while we wait for regulatory approval.”
The company faces mounting pressure as it attempts to recover from declining revenues and global sales. Elon Musk has expressed ambitions to sell “millions” of humanoid robots and establish a widespread robotaxi service, but technical issues and regulatory barriers remain significant obstacles.
In Austin, Tesla’s robotaxis have encountered issues such as running stop signs, swerving into incorrect lanes, and dropping passengers in unsafe locations. Despite these problems, Tesla is pushing forward with its plans, though it has yet to apply for a commercial robotaxi permit in California.
While the California Public Utilities Commission has granted Tesla a permit to transport employees, broader approval for a commercial service is still pending. Tesla is also seeking to expand its robotaxi operations in Florida and Arizona, where regulations are less stringent.

🎯IMPACT: Media Matters has cut staff, faces donor hesitancy, and is considering closure amidst mounting legal costs.
IN FULL
Media Matters, a leading activist group in liberal politics backed by anti-borders plutocrat George Soros, may close down as it struggles to finance its extensive legal battles. The organization, which has long targeted conservative public figures and media, is now facing a severe financial crisis as it defends itself against lawsuits and investigations initiated by Elon Musk and allies of President Donald J. Trump.
With legal fees reaching approximately $15 million over the past 20 months, Media Matters has been forced to cut staff and seek additional funding from its donors. Despite these efforts, the group has been unable to reach a settlement with Musk, who accuses them of having “knowingly and maliciously fabricated side-by-side images” of major advertisers on his X (formerly Twitter) platform next to extremist content as part of a boycott campaign. He also brought cases in Singapore and Ireland.
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone has said he intends to fight this and other legal battles the organization is facing, stating, “Unlike some major media entities that have recently caved to pressure, we understand that this battle is larger than us.” However, the internal atmosphere at Media Matters is tense, with discussions about potential bankruptcy and strategic shifts to manage its ongoing legal challenges.
Democrat law firm Elias Law Group is also pursuing Media Matters for millions in fees related to the Musk case, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating them for the “reporting” on X that prompted the case. They have also faced state-level investigations, for instance, in Missouri, for allegedly undermining the First Amendment.
Founded in 2003 by David Brock, Media Matters has been a significant figure in Democratic politics for years. Its current legal and financial challenges mark a stark contrast to its previous influence.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Opportunities for scholarships and collegiate athletic competition in women’s and non-revenue sports must be preserved and, where possible, expanded.” – Executive Order
🎯IMPACT: The order seeks to balance athlete compensation with the preservation of non-revenue sports and scholarships.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order this week aimed at possibly making substantial changes to the name, image, and likeness (NIL) policies that have rocked collegiate athletics. The Trump White House contends the presidential directive will “protect student-athletes, collegiate athletic scholarships and opportunities” by addressing the balance between colleges paying athletes and maintaining non-revenue generating athletic programs. However, critics contend that the order is unlikely to result in significant changes to the NIL as it is likely outside federal purview.
The order, released by the White House late Thursday, directs members of Trump’s Cabinet to devise a plan within 30 days to preserve college sporting opportunities based on the revenue generated by athletic departments. It explicitly prohibits “third-party, pay-for-play payments” but allows for “legitimate, fair-market-value compensation” for activities such as brand endorsements.
The executive order also calls for revenue sharing between colleges and athletes, emphasizing that “opportunities for scholarships and collegiate athletic competition in women’s and non-revenue sports must be preserved and, where possible, expanded.” This comes as the NCAA has loosened its restrictions on athlete compensation in recent years, raising concerns about the potential loss of scholarships and programs in sports that generate little revenue.
The order specifies that athletic departments earning over $125,000,000 in revenue during the 2024-2025 season should increase scholarship opportunities and maximize roster spots for non-revenue sports. For departments with revenues under $50,000,000, the order states that scholarships and roster spots should not be disproportionately reduced based on a sport’s revenue.
“Collegiate athletic departments with greater than $125,000,000 in revenue during the 2024-2025 athletic season should provide more scholarship opportunities in non-revenue sports than during the 2024-2025 athletic season and should provide the maximum number of roster spots for non-revenue sports permitted under the applicable collegiate athletic rules,” the order reads.

IN FULL
Five Planned Parenthood facilities in Northern California are being forced to close as a result of President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which prevents federally funded state Medicaid programs from bankrolling abortionists.
According to local media, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced Thursday that five clinics across Northern California and the Central Coast, including one in South San Francisco, will be shuttered due to the federal Medicaid funding cuts. These closures follow the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by Trump earlier this month, which eliminated Medicaid funding for medical care at organizations that abort babies.
“This law is clearly a back-door ban on abortion in reproductive freedom states,” Planned Parenthood Mar Monte complained in a statement released this week.
California, led by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom and a Democrat-dominated state legislature, had positioned itself as a haven for abortion following the Supreme Court’s 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade. The state invested over $200 million and passed more than a dozen laws to facilitate abortions, but the federal budget cuts have undercut that pro-abortion policy.
Federal funding had previously flowed to Planned Parenthood despite Hyde Amendment restrictions on using federal taxpayers’ money to abort babies, due to the organization’s insistence that it provided other services. However, Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act has significantly tightened this loophole, dealing a significant blow to Planned Parenthood’s operations.

IN FULL
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has slammed France and its president, Emmanuel Macron, after Macron announced on July 24 that he would formally recognize Palestinian statehood at an upcoming meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
“The United States strongly rejects [Macron’s] plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7,” Rubio wrote on X.
The U.S. Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner—father of President Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner—added, “France’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state is a gift to Hamas and a blow to peace. I’ve just arrived, and I’m deeply disappointed. I hope to change [Macron’s] mind before September. Free the hostages. Focus on a ceasefire. This is the path to lasting peace.”
France is not the first European country to recognize Palestinian statehood, as at least a dozen other European nations also make the same move. During his announcement on July 24, President Macron said that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was needed immediately while calling for the release of all hostages and the demilitarisation of Hamas.
President Donald J. Trump and his administration have been working on a ceasefire, but exited talks in Qatar earlier this week after accusing Hamas of not acting in good faith.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump is floating using some of the revenue generated by his tariffs to fund rebate checks for American taxpayers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump addressed the idea of rebate checks while fielding questions outside the White House on Friday, July 25, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “We have so much money coming in, we’re thinking about a little rebate. A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice.” — President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Rebates could help further boost consumer confidence and the U.S. economy, but such direct economic stimulus could also increase inflationary pressure.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump suggested on Friday that Americans could see rebate checks funded by record revenues taken in by the federal government through the imposition of tariffs on foreign goods. While the rebates could help further boost consumer confidence and the U.S. economy, such direct economic stimulus could also increase inflationary pressure.
“We have so much money coming in, we’re thinking about a little rebate,” President Trump told reporters outside the White House on Friday. “A little rebate for people of a certain income level might be very nice.”
Data published by the U.S. Treasury Department shows that Trump’s tariffs have generated well over $100 billion in revenue so far this year.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says he may give lower income Americans a REBATE because so much tariff revenue is coming in.
Whoa, I don’t think anyone expected this.
“We’re thinking about a rebate. Because we have so much money coming in from tariffs. A little rebate for people… pic.twitter.com/cgkRXukrHc
Tariff revenues could reach nearly $30 billion in July alone. The National Pulse reported last week that data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicates that foreign manufacturers, not American consumers, are absorbing a bulk of the tariff costs, as they seek to protect their share in the U.S. market.
Tariff critics have—thus far—wrongly contended that the trade duties would be largely passed on to American consumers. This, however, would suggest that a taxpayer rebate would act purely as a stimulus and not as a tariff cost offset, meaning the increase in dollars among consumers could have inflationary impacts.
Previously, the Trump White House floated using some savings generated by cuts in government waste, identified by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to pay for rebate checks. The idea originated from former DOGE staffer James Fishback. However, his departure from the agency appears to have also sidelined the idea.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The Trump White House’s efforts to locate upwards of 320,000 illegal immigrant children essentially lost by the former Biden government are ongoing.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The safety of children and ensuring they are reunited with their parents or safe guardian is the top priority of the Trump Administration, which stands in stark contrast to the nearly 300,000 migrant children that were lost under the Biden Administration.” — DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin
🎯IMPACT: The Trump administration is prioritizing the deportation of unaccompanied minors to their families in their countries of origin instead of continuing the use of the unvetted sponsor system utilized by the Biden government.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is working to track down thousands of unaccompanied migrant minors that the former Biden government handed over to—in some instances—completely unvetted ‘sponsors.’ It is estimated that more than 13,000 minors have now been located, with hundreds of sponsors arrested for crimes including child abuse and worse.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says it has arrested around 400 so-called sponsors who had been cleared to care for unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors under the Biden government. However, the number of sponsors who have engaged in criminal acts could be much higher. During recent testimony before Congress, counter-trafficking expert and policy advocate Ali Hooper revealed evidence that the Biden government left 65,000 phone calls unanswered on a hotline for unaccompanied minors to report sexual abuse, trafficking, or other criminal activities perpetrated by sponsors.
During the Biden government, an estimated 320,000 unaccompanied minors were released into the interior of the United States, and—through federal government partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs)—these minors were placed with often poorly vetted sponsors. Local law enforcement across the country has warned of situations involving both sex trafficking and illegal underage labor.
Speaking with Laura Ingraham late Thursday, Hooper highlighted an alarming incident where suspects, now in custody, would lace minors’ drinks with an unidentified white powder. They would then bring in “clients” who would pay upwards of $1,000 for “appointments” at what is described as a “bunker.” The minors were often restrained and tied to beds. DHS is currently assisting the investigation.
In response to the massive number of unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors in the United States, the Trump White House has directed federal immigration officials to quickly deport the minors in question to be reunited with their families, instead of matriculaing into an NGO-sponsor network. “The safety of children and ensuring they are reunited with their parents or safe guardian is the top priority of the Trump Administration, which stands in stark contrast to the nearly 300,000 migrant children that were lost under the Biden Administration,” DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The post was deleted late Thursday night, July 25, 2025, after backlash on X.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Democrats deleted this tweet after everyone with eyes pointed out it showed grocery prices skyrocketed under Biden.” — Journalist Peter Hasson
🎯IMPACT: The incident highlighted inflation under Biden and undermined the Democratic Party’s attempt to blame Trump for high grocery prices.
IN FULL
The Democratic Party‘s official social media account on X (formerly Twitter) removed a post late Thursday night after an attempt to blame high grocery prices on President Donald J. Trump backfired. The post featured a chart showing record-high prices for produce, meat, cheese, dairy, and alcohol, captioned “Trump’s America.” However, users on X quickly pointed out that the significant price spikes occurred during former President Joe Biden’s tenure in the White House and have subsequently stabilized and leveled off under President Trump.
The now-deleted post, shared by the official @Democrats account, included a chart labeled “U.S. Grocery Prices Reached Highs in 2025.” The error was widely mocked online, with the White House’s “Rapid Response” X account also weighing in. Conservative journalist Peter Hasson noted, “Democrats deleted this tweet after everyone with eyes pointed out it showed grocery prices skyrocketed under Biden.”
Wall Street Journal writer Kyle Smith added, “This is the breathtakingly moronic tweet deleted by the official X account of the Democratic Party, which shows almost no inflation under Trump, massive inflation under Biden, then almost no inflation under Trump 2.”
Inflation under Biden reached 9.1 percent in June 2022, and food costs rose by 22 percent during the octogenarian Democrat’s tenure in the White House. In contrast, during Trump’s first six months of his second term, food prices have increased by approximately 1.0 percent, based on federal data—a significant cooling in inflationary pressure. Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports under Trump have consistently shown lower-than-expected inflation, despite hysteria over his tariffs.
The Trump White House has defended its economic policies, stating that the data “proves that President Trump is stabilizing inflation and the Panicans continue to be wrong about tariffs raising prices.” Additionally, President Trump recently announced significant new trade deals with Japan and Australia, which should further boost the U.S. economy and curb inflation.
