Mass shootings have surged during Biden’s presidency, with a projected total of 2,462 incidents by the end of 2024, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This marks a staggering 44.32 percent increase compared to the 1,706 mass shootings that occurred during Trump’s four years in office.
The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as an incident where four or more people are shot and/or killed, excluding the shooter. This consistent definition allows for accurate tracking and comparison of gun violence incidents across different time periods.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Texas Republicans, Texas Democrats, Governor Greg Abbott (R), and Democrat governors such as New York’s Kathy Hochul and California’s Gavin Newsom.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Texas, following a Democratic walkout to deny quorum in early August; Democrats returned this Monday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The derelict Democrats spent two weeks of shirking their responsibilities and wasting taxpayer money running from a fight.” – Gov. Abbott.
🎯IMPACT: If passed, the Texas map could flip five Democratic seats to Republican control, intensifying national redistricting battles.
IN FULL
The Texas legislature is set to consider a new congressional redistricting proposal introduced by Republicans on Wednesday, after weeks of sabotage by Democratic lawmakers. Without the numbers to vote down the proposal, Democrats fled the state to deny the legislature a quorum—resulting in Speaker Dustin Burrows issuing civil warrants for the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms and state troopers to arrest them.
Republicans view the Democrats’ return on Monday as a win. If enacted, the proposed new map could shift five congressional seats currently held by Democrats into Republican hands.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott reacted to the Democrats’ return, saying, “The derelict Democrats spent two weeks shirking their responsibilities and wasting taxpayer money running from a fight. Now Republicans will do what we were always going to do: pass the new maps and a host of conservative legislation.”
In response, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has declared her intent to “fight fire with fire,” pledging that Democrats in her state will move forward with their own redistricting efforts. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) have followed suit, putting forth a new congressional map in California that could flip five Republican-held districts to the Democrats, despite major opposition from even their own voters.
GOP-controlled states like Ohio, Florida, Indiana, and Missouri are actively pursuing or weighing their own redistricting revisions. Democratic-leaning Maryland and Illinois have joined New York and California in working to redraw their political maps.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: D.C. Police Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton, senior D.C. police officials, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and President Donald J. Trump.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Washington, D.C., August 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Sometimes a robbery will be reported as a theft… burglary reported as unlawful entry… [W]e’re very skeptical that these crime stats are accurate.” – Gregg Pemberton
🎯IMPACT: Federal authorities have launched a probe into the possible manipulation of crime data.
IN FULL
Gregg Pemberton, Chairman of the D.C. Police Union, has accused top officials within the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) of deliberately manipulating crime data in Washington, D.C. According to Pemberton, officers are often directed at crime scenes to either understate the severity of incidents or not document them at all: “They respond to the scenes of these violent crimes and, inevitably, you’ll have a captain, or a commander show up on the scene and advise them to take a report for a lesser offense,” he said during a cable news interview.
“Sometimes a robbery will be reported as a theft… burglary reported as unlawful entry… [W]e’re very skeptical that these crime stats are accurate,” he added.
In some cases, Pemberton said, police leaders will direct officers not to record a crime at all if a victim has been shot or stabbed but is not co-operating, and instead simply file an injured person report.
In response to these serious claims, U.S. Attorney Pirro and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have initiated an investigation into the falsification of crime data. One MPD commander, Michael Pulliam, is already facing charges.
At the federal level, Attorney General Pam Bondi has provided updates on President Donald J. Trump’s federalization of law enforcement in the American capital, reporting that authorities have made over 550 arrests so far. Among those taken into custody is a member of the MS-13 gang.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has also confirmed that 48 homeless encampments had been dismantled as part of the administration’s broader strategy to restore public order.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! The chairman of the DC Police Union reveals how extensive the FRAUD was in hiding the true DC crime stats: Higher-ups were going to crime scenes and saying “don’t write that one down” or “don’t add that to the list,” or “put that down as a more minor offense.”… pic.twitter.com/9Srf9CGWmz

📍WHEN & WHERE: London, United Kingdom; August 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “So much of London—especially east London—feels like Bangladesh. I’m looking forward next year to iftar in Trafalgar Square.” – Abida Islam
🎯IMPACT: The comments underscore London’s radically changing demographics, with minority groups taking over certain areas to the extent that they no longer feel alien to politicians from their ethnic homelands.
IN FULL
Bangladesh’s High Commissioner (Ambassador) to the United Kingdom, Abida Islam, has drawn attention to London’s radical cultural and demographic shifts. Speaking to the establishment Financial Times for an article titled, ‘Where ambassadors to the UK dine in London for tastes of home,’ she said: “I’m fortunate. When I was posted in Mexico and South Korea, my homesickness was worse and hit hardest at mealtimes. But so much of London—especially east London—feels like Bangladesh.”
The diplomat added that she was “looking forward next year to iftar in Trafalgar Square,” in reference to the annual Islamic fast-breaking feasts championed by Mayor Sadiq Khan in the British capital’s most iconic public square.
Islam’s remarks come as London continues to transform under the weight of decades of mass migration, accelerated to record levels by former Conservative (Tory) prime ministers Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, and maintained at historic levels by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer following the election of the Labour Party in mid-2024.
Bangladeshis are particularly dominant in the London borough of Tower Hamlets, one of several areas where the municipal government has been tearing down English flags raised on lampposts and other infrastructure by members of the public. Notably, Tower Hamlets Mayor Luftur Rahman—himself a Bangladeshi immigrant previously ejected from office for electoral fraud but reelected once his ban expired—took a more tolerant approach towards the borough being festooned with Palestinian flags following the Hamas terror attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.
Other prominent Bangladeshi politicians in England include Prime Minister Starmer’s former Anti-Corruption Minister, Tulip Siddiq, who resigned after the Bangladeshi government began investigating her family for corruption.
Bangladesh’s High Commissioner to UK Abida Islam tells the FT:
“I’m fortunate. When I was posted in Mexico and South Korea, my homesickness was worse and hit hardest at mealtimes. But so much of London — especially east London — feels like Bangladesh.”

The Israeli military has begun the initial phase of a planned assault on Gaza City following a clash with Hamas. Israeli military spokesman Effie Defrin said the Israel Defense Forces had already seized control of the city outskirts during a Wednesday briefing.
The Israeli government intends to call up approximately 60,000 reservists to finish the offensive against Gaza’s largest urban center. However, an IDF spokesman stressed, “Most of the troops that will be mobilised in this new stage will be active duty and not reservists.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: The operation took place over four days in Connecticut, following the state’s expansion of its “Trust Act” sanctuary policies in May.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Sanctuary legislation like Connecticut’s Trust Act only endangers the communities it claims to protect… The state of Connecticut is a safer place thanks to the hard work and determination of the men and women of ICE,” said Patricia H. Hyde, acting Field Office Director of ICE Boston.
🎯IMPACT: The arrests snared migrants with criminal convictions, including for sexual assault, drug trafficking, child exploitation, and gang-related offenses.
IN FULL
The Boston Field Office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has executed a four-day operation in Connecticut, resulting in the capture of 65 illegal aliens. ‘Operation Broken Trust’ targeted migrants engaged in transnational organized crime, other gang activities, and serious criminal offenses, including kidnapping, assault, drug trafficking, weapons violations, and sexual crimes. It was launched after Connecticut’s Democrat state government expanded its “Trust Act,” a sanctuary law that significantly restricts local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE.
Acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde condemned such sanctuary policies, declaring, “Sanctuary legislation like Connecticut’s Trust Act only endangers the communities it claims to protect. Such laws only force law enforcement professionals to release criminal alien offenders back into the very communities they have already victimized.” She emphasized that these policies compel ICE to carry out potentially dangerous at-large arrests within communities, because local authorities release wanted migrants instead of safely transferring them into federal custody.
Director Hyde highlighted the severity of the offenses the captured migrants committed, stating, “Make no mistake: Every person that we arrested are criminals and breaking federal law, but many of these individuals also victimized innocent people and traumatized communities—rapists, drug traffickers, child sex predators, and members of violent transnational criminal gangs.”
The operation was conducted in collaboration with ICE’s Hartford field office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Marshals Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on Indian exports, with plans to double it to 50 percent next week, citing India’s continued purchase of Russian oil.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and senior officials from both nations.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The tariffs were announced in August 2025, after President Trump warned Russia would be subject to secondary sanctions if it does not make peace with Ukraine.
💬KEY QUOTE: “With Trump, everything is leverage. What seemed like alignment [with India] in February turned out to be a setup for pressure in August.” – Chietigj Bajpaee, Chatham House.
🎯IMPACT: The tariffs have strained the Indian economy and disrupted trade.
IN FULL
The Indian economy is under strain following President Donald J. Trump’s decision to impose a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods, with plans to raise it to 50 percent. The move, tied to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil, caught New Delhi off guard and sparked a rare public rift between the U.S. and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In February, President Trump and Prime Minister Modi held a summit in Washington, D.C., announcing plans to grow bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. Modi then described the U.S. as “India’s most trusted partner”—despite the South Asian country’s membership of the BRICS bloc alongside China, Russia, and other countries often at odds with U.S. foreign and trade policy.
The tone has changed since February, as the Trump administration seeks to pressure Russia into making peace with Ukraine by imposing secondary sanctions on key trade partners. Chietigj Bajpaee, senior research fellow for South Asia in the Asia-Pacific Programme at Chatham House in England, commented, “With Trump, everything is leverage. What seemed like alignment in February turned out to be a setup for pressure in August.”
The tariffs target key Indian export sectors like textiles and leather goods. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller has noted that, beyond enriching Russia through energy purchases, India’s anti-American trade policies have played a role in the sanctions, explaining, “India portrays itself as being one of our closest friends in the world, but they don’t accept our products. They impose massive tariffs on us.”
“It is extremely unfortunate that the U.S. should choose to impose additional tariffs on India for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest,” India’s Ministry of External Affairs has complained. Indian arms purchases from the U.S. have also been paused in retaliation for the tariffs.
However, President Trump has signaled he is willing to stay the course, declaring in late July: “I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together.”
Notably, Indian nationals make up the majority of H-1B visa migrants in the U.S. These are notionally temporary and skilled workers, used heavily by U.S. tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Infosys. Critics say the program undercuts American wages by allowing firms to hire cheaper foreign labor while sidelining U.S. workers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Negotiations occurred over several months, with a diplomatic visit to the United Kingdom earlier this month.
💬KEY QUOTE: “[T]he UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘back door’ that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.” – Tulsi Gabbard.
🎯IMPACT: The agreement preserves Americans’ privacy rights in the face of ongoing efforts by European governments to effectively globalize their online censorship regimes.
IN FULL
Vice President J.D. Vance “personally” intervened to force Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government in the United Kingdom to abandon its push for Apple to create a “backdoor” to access encrypted user data. A U.S. official told the media that Vance “was in charge and was personally involved in negotiating a deal, including having direct conversations with the British government.”
In February, reports emerged that the British Home Secretary—roughly equivalent to the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary—had issued a covert order under Britain’s Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, pressuring Apple to weaken iCloud encryption. The Vance-brokered agreement “ensure[s] Americans’ private data remains private and our constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected,” according to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Vance has often used his position as Vice President to push back against the growing censorship apparatus across Europe, particularly in areas where it attempts to encroach on Americans’ free speech rights. Earlier this year at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Vance warned: “Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making. If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump.”
Elsewhere, the Vice President has tied his concerns over censorship in Europe to the continent’s ongoing reliance on America for its defense, cautioning: “Think about this: Germany’s entire defense is subsidized by the American taxpayer. There are thousands upon thousands of American troops in Germany today. Do you think that the American taxpayer is going to stand for that if you get thrown in jail in Germany for posting a mean tweet?”
Restrictions on free speech in the United Kingdom, specifically, are facing increasing U.S. scrutiny under the Trump-Vance administration, with the U.S. State Department’s latest human rights report highlighting credible evidence of curbs on free expression. The report flagged Britain’s new Online Safety Act, which grants British regulators expanded powers to monitor and censor online content, including on U.S.-based platforms with British users, as particularly problematic.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It doesn’t seem like anything has been in action, neither at the state level or at the ground level,” Nekhaila said of Musk’s proposed ‘America Party.’
🎯IMPACT: Musk may shift focus back to his companies and rebuild ties with Republican leaders, particularly Vice President Vance, ahead of his possible 2028 presidential run.
IN FULL
Former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk appears to be reaching for a rapprochement with President Donald J. Trump, with public outbursts against the America First leader dwindling and public support for his federalization of law enforcement in Washington, D.C. A Wall Street Journal report suggests Musk has also scaled back plans to form an ‘America Party’ to challenge Trump and the GOP in the 2026 midterms, focusing on building ties with Vice President J.D. Vance ahead of a possible presidential run in 2028.
The WSJreports that Musk is considering backing Vance’s potential 2028 run financially, having already spent nearly $300 million in support of Trump and other Republicans in 2024. Despite this, and a prominent public-facing role in the early days of Trump’s second administration, the pair fell out over the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, aimed at expanding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and cutting taxes for American workers, with Musk complaining it would increase the deficit.
Musk has acknowledged that forming a third party “would damage his relationship with the Vice President,” according to the WSJ. Steven Nekhaila, chairman of the Libertarian National Committee, laments that Musk’s team has shown “eerie silence” on the America Party, with no activity at either the state or ground level. Meetings with third-party organizers, including former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Democrat donor Mark Cuban, were reportedly canceled.
Vance recently said that his it was “a mistake for [Musk] to try to break from the President,” expressing his “hope… that by the time of the midterms, he’s kind of come back into the fold.” Notably, Musk’s popularity cratered after he turned on President Trump, with his previous support for the MAGA kingpin having already damaged his standing with liberals.

For the first time in 30 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has broken from the CDC by recommending COVID shots for children as young as 6 months—raising ethical questions since its top donors include vaccine makers like Pfizer and Moderna.
Back up: The CDC officially withdrew its recommendation that healthy children receive the COVID-19 vaccine on May 27. Previously, the jab was advised for kids as young as six months.

The details: AAP released its annual immunization schedule for children on Tuesday, which included the COVID-19 shot for all children ages six through 23 months old.
It warned: “Infants and children six through 23 months of age are at the highest risk for severe COVID-19.”
Pay-for-play: Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called out the AAP in an X post, arguing that it’s unethical for a pediatric group reliant on vaccine-maker funding to push universal child COVID shots.
Kennedy shared a screenshot of their “President’s Circle” donors, which include COVID vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna, Sanofi, and Merck (who contributed to the J&J vaccine). He noted:
“These four companies make virtually every vaccine on the CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule. AAP is angry that CDC has eliminated corporate influence.”
“AAP should follow the lead of HHS and disclose conflicts of interest, including its corporate entanglements… so that Americans may ask whether the AAP’s recommendations reflect public health interest, or are, perhaps, just a pay-to-play scheme to promote commercial ambitions of AAP’s Big Pharma benefactors.”
Liability: Kennedy also reminded the AAP that only vaccines recommended by the CDC are covered under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, meaning doctors and hospitals would be liable for injuries stemming from the COVID vaccines.
Big picture: AAP’s defiance of the CDC guidance highlights the battle between corporate-backed medicine and a federal shift toward parental choice.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The AAP, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and American children.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The AAP issued the guidelines two months after Secretary Kennedy overhauled the federal vaccine board.

🎯IMPACT: The AAP’s decision has sparked debate over public health policies and vaccine guidelines.
IN FULL
For the first time in three decades, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued a recommendation that diverges from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), endorsing a new COVID-19 vaccine for young children.
Dr. James Campbell, vice chairman of the AAP’s infectious diseases committee, addressed the shift, noting, “It is going to be somewhat confusing. But our opinion is we need to make the right choices for children to protect them.” The AAP’s alternative guidance promotes vaccinating children between just six months and two years old.
This follows a significant shake-up two months ago by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who restructured the federal vaccine advisory board. Kennedy, known for his vaccine skepticism, has taken a cautious approach toward recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children, instead encouraging parents to “consult with their doctors.”
Kennedy removed the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women from the CDC immunization schedule earlier this year. “Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing [President Trump’s] promise to Make America Healthy Again,” RFK Jr. said of the reforms.
