Globalist and far-left candidates in France are strategically uniting ahead of the July 7 second round of the French legislative elections. They aim to thwart the National Rally (RN) party led by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, which won the first round, from earning a majority.
Over 200 candidates from both the New Popular Front—centered on Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s far-left France Unbowed party—and the Ensemble bloc—centered on President Emmanuel Macron’s globalist Renaissance party—have withdrawn from district races to give each other’s candidates a better chance of defeating RN.

The New Popular Front placed second in the first round, with the Macronists falling to third place.
Mélenchon has done a better job forcing his third-placed candidates to stand aside than Macron. The Ensemble camp faces internal divisions, with some reluctant to endorse far-left candidates due to economic and foreign policy disagreements.
Only candidates who secured over 50 percent of the vote in the first round are already guaranteed a seat in the National Assembly. Three or more candidates have qualified for the second round in over 300 districts out of 577, with the number of races that will be reduced to two-way contests due to withdrawals not yet officially confirmed by the Interior Ministry but likely to be substantial.

📍 Where & When: Reported by the Labor Department in Washington, D.C., on April 17, 2025, for the week ending April 12.
⚠️ Impact: The decline in jobless claims highlights economic stability, reinforcing confidence in Trump’s tariff strategy to boost domestic industry, though rising continuing claims suggest a need to monitor rehiring trends.
IN FULL:
The U.S. labor market showcased its strength as the Department of Labor reported a decline in jobless claims on April 17, 2025. Applications for unemployment benefits fell by 9,000 to 215,000 for the week ending April 12, outperforming analysts’ expectations of 225,000 new claims. This drop underscores a robust labor market that continues to thrive as President Trump implements tariffs to protect and revitalize American industry.
Weekly jobless claims, a key measure of layoffs, have consistently ranged between 200,000 and 250,000 over the past few years, indicating steady employment conditions. The four-week average of claims, which smooths out weekly variations, also decreased by 2,500 to 220,750, further confirming the labor market’s resilience.
President Trump’s tariffs, including a 10 percent reciprocal duty and higher rates on Chinese goods, aim to bolster domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign imports. The strong labor market data aligns with the administration’s goals, showing that businesses are maintaining hiring levels as these policies take effect. Overall, the economy appears well-positioned to benefit from Trump’s strategy of prioritizing American workers and industries.

❓What Happened: David Hogg plans to allocate $20 million to challenge insufficiently woke incumbent Democrats through primaryelections.

📍 Where & When: Hogg, who became Vice Chair in February, discussed his strategy in a newspaper interview published on April 15.
💬 Key Quote: “This is going to anger a lot of people.” — David Hogg.
⚠️ Impact: Hogg’s initiative could massively divide Democratic National Committee leadership and affect party strategies.
IN FULL:
Anti-gun rights activist David Hogg, Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), is set to direct $20 million into primary campaigns against current Democratic incumbents. By leveraging the organization Leaders We Deserve, which focuses on electing young progressives, Hogg aims to promote a far-left progressive agenda.
His strategy introduces potential tension within the Democratic Party’s leadership, particularly as it deviates from the traditional focus of opposing Republican candidates.
Hogg, appointed Vice Chair in February, acknowledged that pursuing these primary challenges might lead to significant personal and professional pushback. “This is going to anger a lot of people,” he said, anticipating efforts to undermine him.
The initiative challenges the Democratic Party’s usual practices, which generally emphasize securing victories over Republican opponents rather than engaging in infighting. During a recent private meeting, the Democratic National Committee reiterated the importance of neutrality among its officials, emphasizing their need for impartiality. Hogg was the only one not to sign this “neutrality policy.”
DNC Chair Ken Martin addressed the situation, underscoring the party’s supposed principle that primary voters should choose nominees without interference from national party influences.
Hogg’s approach has been criticized by several quarters. Steve Schale, a long-time Democratic campaign strategist, emphasized that the party should focus on regaining lost ground in key battleground areas, noting a troubling trend in 703 out of 767 counties over recent presidential election cycles. Matt Bennett from Third Way also expressed concerns about Hogg’s ability to transition from activism to his current official role, describing his actions as problematic.
The move comes as the Democrats still lack clear leadership since the election of President Donald J. Trump. A poll released in March showed the Democrats plummeting to historic lows, falling 20 percentage points since Trump’s victory in November.
❓What Happened: Elon Musk initially claimed he could reduce the federal budget by $2 trillion during Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. Once appointed to front the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk revised his target to $1 trillion, but recent statements have scaled back the expected savings further to $150 billion for fiscal year 2026.

📍 Where & When: White House cabinet meeting on April 10, Washington, D.C., addressing fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 – September 2026).
💬 Key Quote: “I’m excited to announce that we anticipate savings in ’26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion,” Musk said.
⚠️ Impact: Musk’s revised savings projection is prompting skepticism, with critics doubting the feasibility of ever cutting $1 trillion. DOGE’s method of accounting for savings has also been criticized due to errors and inaccuracies.
IN FULL:
Details from an April 10 White House cabinet meeting indicate Elon Musk moderated his ambitious budget reduction goals. Musk had promised substantial cuts to the federal budget, initially aiming for a reduction of $2 trillion. Subsequent revisions saw expectations reduced to $1 trillion upon Musk’s appointment to front the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
However, at the April cabinet meeting, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO further reduced his expectations, citing $150 billion in anticipated savings from cutting waste and fraud for fiscal year 2026. In perspective, this represents a 92 percent reduction from the originally promised cuts to the budget spanning from October 2025 to September 2026.
“I’m excited to announce that we anticipate savings in ’26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion,” Musk said.
Musk’s newest budget cut target reflects data from the DOGE website, which currently amounts to the cited $150 billion in savings—though it is unclear whether the number is a hard ceiling for Musk and his team. The Trump White House maintains that the original $1 trillion in cuts remains the administration’s goal.
Notably, Musk’s cabinet meeting presentation was unusually brief, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth instead commencing the session—suggesting a possible shift to national security concerns as the administration’s top priority. Musk did insist that the federal government is a “target-rich environment” with inefficiencies being identified across agencies.
Despite its efforts, DOGE’s online platform has faced claims that its data is inaccurate and either miscounts or incorrectly attributes savings. These allegations have increased skepticism among both DOGE’s supporters and critics regarding the feasibility of the ambitious budget cuts.

❓What Happened: Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, which had been closed and fortified with concertina wire and armed guards for over a year, has reopened.

📍 Where & When: Eagle Pass, Texas, reopened in recent days after closures and heightened security started in January 2024.
💬 Key Quote: Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. stated, “We’re happy the park has returned to the city.”
⚠️ Impact: The reopening represents a shift in the politics surrounding immigration enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border and a decrease in the perceived urgency of security measures.
IN FULL:
Residents of Eagle Pass, Texas, experienced a return to normalcy as the once-closed Shelby Park reopened, shedding the concertina wire and armed presence that kept it inaccessible for more than a year. The move comes after President Donald J. Trump’s border policies have significantly reduced illegal crossings in the area.
The reopening followed Texas Governor Greg Abbott‘s withdrawal of significant security measures, citing a decrease in migrant crossings at the border. In January 2024, Abbott had deployed forces to the area as a demonstration against former President Joe Biden’s immigration policies. However, with crossings reaching a record low, the focus has shifted, and the enhanced security presence has been significantly reduced.
Local residents like Dora Flores, 73, approached the park on a warm Monday morning, noting the changes. “Is the park really open?” she asked, expressing relief that the area no longer resembled a high-security facility. The park, equipped with sports fields and a boat ramp into the Rio Grande, is once again available for public use. Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. commented on the developments, stating, “We’re happy the park has returned to the city.”
President Trump’s strict border policies have massively reduced the number of illegal crossings. These include sending U.S. military personnel to aid in border security. The chief of San Diego’s Border Patrol said having troops on the border was a “force multiplier” last month.
March saw a record-low number of illegal border crossings, a massive 97 percent decline compared to March 2022. President Trump’s mass deportation initiative under Border Czar Tom Homan has also been credited for dissuading illegal crossing attempts.

❓What Happened: Crime statistics reveal that nearly half of the criminal suspects in Austria in 2024 were foreigners.
👥 Who’s Involved: Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner, foreign criminals, youth criminals.

📍 Where & When: A report on Austrian crime statistics was released by Karner on April 14.
💬 Key Quote: “The number of crimes among ten to 14-year-olds has almost doubled in the last five years. Above all, the number of Syrian suspects clearly stands out here.” — Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner.
⚠️ Impact: The statistics reveal how overrepresented foreigners are in criminal reports in Austria.
IN FULL:
Despite representing around 20 percent of the overall population, foreigners accounted for nearly 50 percent of the criminal suspects in Austria last year. Of the over 335,000 criminal suspects investigated by police in the European Union (EU) member state in 2024, 46.8 percent were foreign nationals.
The top sources of foreign criminals are Romania, Germany, and Syria, with Syrians seeing a 30 percent increase in crimes compared to the prior year. The data, presented by Interior Minister Gerhard Karner, also reveals a surge in youth crime across the country. Crimes attributed to children aged 10 to 14 increased by nearly 100 percent, with around half being foreigners.
“The number of crimes among ten to 14-year-olds has almost doubled in the last five years. Above all, the number of Syrian suspects clearly stands out here,” Interior Minister Karner said. Due to the increase, the Interior Minister has suggested expanding facilities for repeat youth criminals, while others have called for increased fines for school absences.
Dominik Nepp, the leader of the populist Freedom Party (FPOe) in Vienna, stated that the age of criminal responsibility should be reduced to 12 years old and said that Austria’s immigration and border policies also contributed to the surge in criminality.
The anti-mass migration FPOe, led by Herbert Kickl, came first in the last Austrian national election and looked to form a government earlier this year, but talks between them and the center-right Austrian People’s Party collapsed.
❓What Happened: President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to prevent illegal aliens and ineligible individuals from receiving benefits under the Social Security Act.

📍 Where & When: The Memorandum was signed today in the United States.
💬 Key Quote: “Taxpayer-funded benefits should be provided only to eligible persons and must not encourage or reward illegal immigration to the United States.” – President Trump.
⚠️ Impact: The Memorandum seeks to protect taxpayer funds, expand SSA fraud investigations, reduce incentives for illegal immigration, and stop payments to ineligible individuals.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump has enacted a Presidential Memorandum to prevent illegal aliens and those deemed ineligible from accessing benefits provided through the Social Security Act. The directive involves a series of enforcement measures intended to safeguard taxpayer dollars, remove incentives for illegal immigration, and address instances of benefit fraud.
Key components of this initiative include the Social Security Administration (SAA) collaborating with at least 50 U.S. Attorney Offices to strengthen its fraud prosecutor program. Moreover, it establishes dedicated fraud prosecution initiatives for Medicare and Medicaid across 15 U.S. Attorney Offices. These steps aim to ensure benefits do not reach individuals who do not qualify.
To further combat identity fraud, the SSA Inspector General has been tasked with examining income records for people aged 100 and over with inconsistencies in their Social Security information. Additionally, the agency is exploring whether to reinstate civil monetary penalties for those committing Social Security fraud, a measure that has been dormant for several years.
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), American taxpayers incur expenses surpassing $182 billion yearly due to the presence of approximately 20 million illegal aliens and their offspring, based on both federal and state expenditures. Despite some illegal aliens contributing taxes, reports suggest they remain a net fiscal burden, estimated at roughly $150.7 billion.

📍 Where & When: Deportations to El Salvador in March; the court order was announced on Wednesday, April 16.
💬 Key Quote: “The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order,” stated Judge Boasberg.
⚠️ Impact: The administration is instructed to file declarations or face potential prosecution. However, President Donald J. Trump holds the power to pardon people in federal contempt cases.
IN FULL:
Far-left U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg says he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt over its alleged failure to comply with his court order requiring planes carrying illegal immigrants to El Salvador to turn around and return to the United States. The federal judge accuses the Trump White House of acting with “willful disregard” toward his March 15 order, which temporarily halted all deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act.
Despite Boasberg’s contention, the Trump administration argues the judge’s order came too late to turn around two planes carrying 261 illegal immigrants—including over 100 Venezuelan gang members—to El Salvador, where they are being housed in the country’s high-security CECOT prison facility. In a 48-page determination, the judge lays out his dubious criticism of the government for its actions and outlines steps for the administration to avoid prosecution.
Boasberg demands the Department of Justice (DOJ) submit additional declarations by April 23 to explain the circumstances surrounding non-compliance or face potential prosecution. “The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt,” the judge writes. Boasberg continued, explaining that if the DOJ does not explain why the court should not proceed with contempt charges, he will ask federal prosecutors to identify administration officials responsible for what he calls “contumacious conduct.”
“The Court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily; indeed, it has given Defendants ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions,” the Barack Obama-appointed judge concluded while declaring that the government’s responses so far have been unsatisfactory to the court.
In response, the White House swiftly announced plans to seek appellate relief. “We plan to seek immediate appellate relief,” Steven Cheung, White House Communications Director, announced in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “The President is 100% committed to ensuring that terrorists and criminal illegal migrants are no longer a threat to Americans and their communities across the country.”

❓What Happened: A Democratic Super PAC backed by Epstein associate Reid Hoffman has released a vulgar, AI-generated ad depicting a fake Republican congressman sexually servicing his “sugar daddy.”
👥 Who’s Involved: The ad was produced by the Progress Action Fund (PAF), primarily funded by LinkedIn co-founder and Epstein Island visitor Reid Hoffman.

📍Where/When: Released online, the ad is not tied to any particular race but appears aimed at drumming up donations for PAF staff and vendors.
🧠 Key Quote/Idea: The ad claims Republicans are beholden to special interests—ironic, given Hoffman’s own status as a megadonor who’s funded anti-Trump lawsuits, Nikki Haley’s failed primary, and efforts to boot RFK Jr. off the ballot.
📉 Fallout: The grotesque messaging is unlikely to land, especially as the GOP gains ground with blue-collar and union voters. The reliance on AI and shock value may reflect desperation more than strategy.
IN FULL:
Progress Action Fund (PAF)–a group largely funded by late Jeffrey Epstein acolyte Reid Hoffman–has released a bizarre and creepy ad depicting a fake Republican Member of Congress fellating a man he calls his “sugar daddy.” The ad does not appear related to any particular election and appears, rather, to be an attempt by PAF to raise money to pay its staff and vendors.
The video, much of which appears to be cheap artificial intelligence, alleges that Republicans are busily taking care of special interests while ordinary workers suffer. The message is unlikely to resonate, given that Hoffman himself is a special interest political donor and that Republicans recently won an electoral mandate largely thanks to working class, former Democrat, and union voters.
PAF’s largest donations in recent years have come from Hoffman, who, in addition to funding lawsuits against President Trump, also campaigned to keep RFK off the ballot. Hoffman, a former Epstein Island visitor, even bankrolled Nikki Haley’s primary challenge against Trump, and is also connected to the Meidas Touch/Diddy network through large donations.
Other PAF donors include Shashi Gupta, co-founder of tech firm Apex Covantage, whose personal biography boasts of his “integrity” and “human dignity,” as well as designer shopping mall magnate J.W. ‘Joey’ Kaempfer, trust-funder Olan Mills, and 93-year-old activist Nancy Skinner Nordhoff.
He claimed he would leave the country if President Trump won the 2024 election but has yet to find a friend like Jeffrey Epstein to lend him a jet.

📍 Where & When: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The memo was signed on March 7.
💬 Key Quote: Theresa Cardinal Brown noted that the memo’s rules “apply very broadly to any immigrant who came to the U.S. via the U.S.-Mexico border.”
⚠️ Impact: The memo allows for wide-reaching discretion in selecting migrants for detention at Guantanamo, challenging previous assertions that only high-threat criminals would be held there.
IN FULL:
A new memo shows the Trump administration’s wide-reaching authority to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay, expanding beyond only “the worst” offenders. This development is part of Trump’s broader policy to crack down on illegal immigration.
The agreement, signed in early March by top officials from the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense (DoD), sets criteria for detaining migrants based not on criminal history but rather a “nexus” to transnational criminal organizations or criminal drug activity. Officials have defined this connection broadly, which could include paying a criminal group for smuggling services into the United States.
The guidelines allow for detaining migrants with final deportation orders who have interacted in any way with organized crime, including direct or indirect interactions. The Department of Defense confirmed the memo. The DoD has highlighted its role in clarifying operational roles at Guantanamo Bay between DHS and DoD.
Theresa Cardinal Brown, a former U.S. immigration official, stated that many illegals could have some form of interaction with a crime syndicate. This is due to the territorial control established by cartels in Mexico.
Trump administration officials defend the strategy as vital to national security. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said operations at Guantanamo for detaining migrants will proceed without changes. Currently, 42 individuals are detained at the base.
❓What Happened: Members of the World Health Organization (WHO) have agreed on the text of a legally binding treaty focused on improving responses to future pandemics.

📍 Where & When: The agreement was reached on Wednesday, following three years of discussions among member states. Formal adoption is expected at the World Health Assembly next month.
💬 Key Quote: “A significant milestone in our shared journey towards a safer world,” according to WHO director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
⚠️ Impact: The treaty mandates that countries ensure global access to pandemic-related drugs in future outbreaks. Manufacturers must allocate 20 percent of their production to the WHO, and at least 10 percent must be donations. It also includes a proposal for a Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing System for faster data exchange.
IN FULL:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has settled on the text for a legally binding treaty supposedly aimed at enhancing global preparedness for future pandemics. This decision seeks to avoid the chaos and competition over resources that were prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This newly crafted pact emphasizes rapid data sharing on emerging diseases, enabling scientists and pharmaceutical firms to speed up the development of vaccines and treatments. For the first time, the WHO will have a comprehensive view of global supply chains related to personal protective equipment such as masks and medical gowns.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director general, described the agreement as “a significant milestone in our shared journey towards a safer world.” He further noted that despite global divisions, this demonstrates nations’ ability to collaborate on common challenges.
The treaty, culminating after three years of discussion among member states, is only the second in the WHO’s history—the first being the 2003 tobacco control agreement. It awaits formal approval at the upcoming World Health Assembly.
Under the treaty, countries must ensure the global availability of pandemic-related medications in future outbreaks. The terms require manufacturers to allocate 20 percent of vaccine, therapeutic, and diagnostic production to the WHO, distribute 10 percent as donations, and offer the rest at accessible prices.
The U.S. was absent from the closing negotiations following President Donald J. Trump’s withdrawal decision, meaning the country will not adhere to the agreement once it departs from the organization in 2026.
Some Members of Parliament (MPs) in Britain expressed skepticism about a pandemic treaty in 2023, arguing it could allow the globalist WHO to have power over lockdowns, quarantine, and vaccines.
