OUT: MAGA Loyalists. IN: Kevin McCarthy?

The news broke Friday afternoon that Project 2025 director Paul Dans—who has led a more than impressive personnel operation helping to gear up for a second Trump administration—has been pushed out of the Heritage Foundation, where his now infamous project was incubated.

In comments seen by The National Pulse, Dans explained to fellow staff how Project 2025 had “completed what we set out to do, which was create a unified conservative vision, bringing together over 110 leading organizations, united behind the cause of deconstructing the administrative state.”

Roger Sollenberger reported shortly after that the move had been orchestrated by Trump campaign staffer Chris LaCivita, explaining: “There’s a long-running rivalry over controlling a next admin. Senior Trump adviser Chris LaCivita led the charge against Dans.”

This is extremely disappointing news for the MAGA movement and for Trump loyalists who were hoping to lead a charge back into the administration in January.

Instead, the Trump campaign is now reportedly considering hiring disgraced former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to serve as Chief of Staff in a second Trump term.

The only other option being floated is Mercury (big pharma) lobbyist and former DeSantis advisor Susie Wiles, who worked closely with LaCivita to kneecap the Trump loyalists at Project 2025 and who attempted to bring NeverTrumper Charlie Spies into the new Republican National Committee (RNC) HQ.

Border Czar Homan Wants to Turbocharge ICE Arrests to 7,000 a Day With ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Money.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Tom Homan, President Donald J. Trump’s Border Czar, is pushing for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest 7,000 illegal immigrants daily now that the “Big, Beautiful Bill” has been signed, more than doubling the current quota.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tom Homan, President Trump, ICE agents, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made outside the White House in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “And for those that say 3,000 [arrests] a day is too much, I want to remind them, do the math, we have to arrest 7,000 every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into the nation,” said Homan.

🎯IMPACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act empowers ICE to hire 10,000 new officers, doubling the agency’s capacity for detaining illegal immigrants.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, has announced a push for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to increase their illegal alien arrest targets to 7,000 a day. This new target more than doubles the previous quota set for the agency.

This announcement comes after Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which massively boosts funding for border security and ICE deportation efforts. The bill, signed into law on July 4, also empowers ICE to hire 10,000 additional officers.

During a press briefing outside the White House, Homan said, “[F]or those that say 3,000 [arrests] a day is too much, I want to remind them, do the math, we have to arrest 7,000 every single day for the remainder of this administration just to catch the ones Biden released into the nation.”

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin noted that the new law would “turbocharge” Trump’s deportation efforts. Homan’s 7,000-a-day target exceeds even the 3,000-a-day target previously put forward by White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, one of the administration’s most prominent immigration hawks.

The Trump administration initially set a quota of 1,800 arrests per day in January.

California Republicans Are Lobbying Trump to Give Illegal Immigrants Amnesty.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Republican lawmakers in California sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump urging changes to immigration enforcement policies and advocating for a legal pathway for so-called “non-criminal undocumented immigrants [sic].”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The letter was signed by state Sen. Minority Leader Brian Jones, Sen. Suzette Valladares, and four other Republican lawmakers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The letter was sent to the Trump White House in late June, and revealed publicly over the July 4 weekend.

💬KEY QUOTE: “America needs a system that reflects both compassion and lawfulness—one that upholds sovereignty while recognizing the reality on the ground,” the lawmakers claim.

🎯IMPACT: The letter highlights continued resistance to strong borders and mass deportations among some in the Republican Party, particularly those with close ties to industries enjoying cheap foreign labor.

IN FULL

A group of six Republican state lawmakers in California is demanding that President Donald J. Trump direct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to end its “sweeping raids” against illegal immigrants and instead open “a path to legal status” for what they claim are “non-criminal undocumented immigrants [sic].” Notably, while unlawful entry into the United States only currently carries a civil penalty, under the U.S. Code, the act is still considered a criminal offense, meaning there are no actual “non-criminal undocumented immigrants.”

“We have heard from employers in our districts that recent ICE raids are not only targeting undocumented workers, but also creating widespread fear among other employees, including those with legal immigration status,” the group of six California Republicans claimed, adding: “We urge you to direct ICE and DHS to focus their enforcement operations on criminal immigrants, and when possible to avoid the kinds of sweeping raids that instill fear and disrupt the workplace.”

The letter’s signatories include California Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones (R), Sen. Suzette Valladares (R), Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh (R), Assembly Member Heath Flora (R), Assembly Member Diane Dixon (R), and Assembly Member Laurie Davies (R). Sen. Jones had previously introduced legislation that directed California state prisons and county jails to provide release dates for illegal immigrants convicted of serious felonies and other violent crimes to federal immigration authorities. However, the legislation failed to advance out of committee.

“America needs a system that reflects both compassion and lawfulness—one that upholds sovereignty while recognizing the reality on the ground,” the letter insists. The state lawmakers call on Trump and Congress to enact a pathway to legal status for so-called “non-criminal” illegal immigrants who supposedly have strong community ties. They also urge reforms to the H-2A and H-2B visa programs to authorize more legal guest workers across industries, alleging labor shortages in sectors such as construction, hospitality, and food processing—apparently preferring this to improving conditions to attract American workers.

According to the American Farm Bureau, the federal government previously authorized 384,900 H-2A temporary agriculture visas, while the H-2B visa program is capped at 66,000 annually. Notably, California’s latest jobs report found 1.1 million unemployed residents, with 659,000 job openings as of March 2025.

Trump Will Impose Higher Tariffs on Nations Collaborating With ‘Anti-American’ BRICS Bloc.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has threatened an extra 10 percent tariff on countries considering allying themselves with the BRICS bloc.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, the BRICS bloc, and countries allying themselves with it.

📍WHEN & WHERE: President Trump announced the move in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy.” — President Trump

🎯IMPACT: The move could undermine attempts by the BRICS nations to create an alternative to the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has threatened 10 to 15 countries with extra tariffs of 10 percent should they choose to ally themselves with the BRICS alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa against U.S. trade interests. President Trump announced the move on Truth Social on July 6.

“Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy,” President Trump wrote.

In a separate post, he stated that the United States would start delivering tariff letters to various countries beginning July 7. According to officials, countries are expected to negotiate trade deals by July 9, but tariffs are likely to start on August 1.

President Trump has long maintained that the BRICS bloc threatens American trade interests and the U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency. In January, he threatened 100 percent tariffs on any country that participates in creating a BRICS currency to rival the dollar.

“We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy,” President Trump said at the time.

BRICS has expanded since its inception, with several other nations building ties with the group, including Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Egypt, and Iran. Considering their oil wealth, the Gulf States joining the alliance could be pivotal in creating an alternative reserve currency.

Tesla Shares Tanked After Musk’s ‘America Party’ Announcement.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Tesla’s stock price dropped seven percent after Elon Musk announced the formation of a new political party, the “America Party.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Elon Musk, President Donald J. Trump, and Tesla investors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announcement made over the weekend of July 4; stock slump occurred during Monday morning trading.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” – Elon Musk

🎯IMPACT: Tesla’s stock decline and potential investor concerns over Musk’s political involvement.

IN FULL

Tesla’s stock price fell seven percent to $293 per share in morning trading on Monday, following Elon Musk‘s announcement over the weekend that he has formed a new political party named the “America Party.” The announcement came after Musk’s public split with President Donald J. Trump over the recently signed “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which increases immigration enforcement and cuts taxes for workers.

Musk, in a July 5 post on X, stated: “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” He also hinted that his party would focus on influencing a small number of key Senate and House races. President Trump responded on Truth Social, calling Musk a “TRAIN WRECK” and accusing him of going “completely off the rails.” Musk has not yet disclosed specific steps taken to formalize the party, a process that would involve navigating state and federal regulations.

The announcement has raised concerns among Tesla investors. Notably, James Fishback, a former top Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer and technology investor, announced his firm would be pulling its support for Musk and Tesla, citing the billionaire’s political aspirations as potentially hurting Tesla’s business prospects. “Elon left us with no other choice,” Fishback said over the weekend.

Tesla was already facing significant market challenges, with sales of its electric vehicles dropping more than 13 percent from April to June compared to the same period last year. In Europe, sales fell by nearly 50 percent in April, even as the overall electric vehicle market grew.

Doctor Fired for Mocking MAGA Victims of Texas Floods.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A pediatrician in Houston, Texas, was fired after wishing death on Trump-supporting flash flood victims in Kerr County, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Dr. Christina B. Propst, Blue Fish Pediatrics, and Sherif Zaafran, President of the Texas Medical Board.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Following devastating flash floods in Kerr County, Texas, in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.” – Christina B. Propst

🎯IMPACT: Propst’s employer condemned her comments, suspended her, and later confirmed she was no longer employed. The Texas Medical Board is investigating.

IN FULL

Houston pediatrician Christina B. Propst has been terminated from her position at Blue Fish Pediatrics after posting inflammatory remarks on Facebook about victims of the flash floods in Kerr County, Texas. Her post, which was highlighted by ‘Libs of TikTok,’ stated, “Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless their hearts.”

The flash floods have devastated Central Texas, particularly Kerr County, leaving a rising death toll and dozens of children among the victims. President Donald J. Trump has signed a major disaster declaration as search and rescue operations continue amidst ongoing rains.

Blue Fish Pediatrics initially suspended Propst before confirming her termination. The organization stated, “As we previously mentioned in our original statement, we strongly condemn the comments that were made in that post. That post does not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics.” They added, “We do not support or condone any statement that politicizes tragedy, diminishes human dignity, or fails to clearly uphold compassion for every child and family, regardless of background or beliefs.”

Sherif Zaafran, President of the Texas Medical Board, also addressed the situation on social media, stating, “There is no place for politicization. The entire focus needs to be on looking for survivors. Any complaints we may receive will be thoroughly investigated.” Many commenters urged Zaafran to proceed with a full investigation into the matter.

Zaafran expressed his sorrow over the tragedy, saying, “My heart is filled with sadness with the news of everyone affected by the power of nature and the catastrophic floods. I pray for the safe return of all those who are still missing. I pray that they are found soon and back in the arms of their families.”

Following deadly hurricanes in 2024, some Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel were found to be intentionally denying aid to Trump supporters.

Trump Admin Ends ‘Temporary Protected Status’ for Tens of Thousands More Migrants.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Nicaragua and Honduras, paving the way for tens of thousands of deportations.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Department of Homeland Security (DHS), migrants from Nicaragua and Honduras, and pro-immigration organizations.

📍WHEN & WHERE: July 2025; United States.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Temporary Protected Status, as the name itself makes clear, is an inherently temporary status.” – Department of Homeland Security

🎯IMPACT: Migrants from Nicaragua and Honduras lose legal work authorization and face deportation; however, lawfare cases attempting to frustrate this are near-certain.

IN FULL

The Trump administration has moved to end more than 25 years of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from Nicaragua and Honduras. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the change in the Federal Register, saying the protections officially lapsed as of July 5. A 60-day transition period is now in effect before termination becomes final.

Originally granted following natural disasters in the late 1990s, TPS for these countries has been repeatedly extended by multiple administrations. The status provides work authorization and protection from deportation, but does not offer a path to permanent residency. Around 50,000 migrants are estimated to be impacted.

During the first Trump administration, DHS tried to cancel these designations but was bogged down by lawfare suits. The Joe Biden government extended the status again after rescinding those terminations. Now, the Trump administration has reasserted its position, citing the program’s “temporary” nature and arguing that original conditions no longer justify continued protection.

“Temporary Protected Status, as the name itself makes clear, is an inherently temporary status,” the DHS explained.

The move follows the termination of TPS for around half a million Haitians in June—although, as with that decision, following through on deporting formerly TPS-designated Hondurans and Nicaraguans will likely face a protracted lawfare campaign.

Musk Taps Tesla’s Indian CFO as ‘America Party’ Treasurer.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Elon Musk has tapped the India-born Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Tesla, Vaibhav Taneja, to serve as the treasurer of his new third-party group, the America Party.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Elon Musk and Vaibhav Taneja.

📍WHEN & WHERE: News of the Tesla CFO’s new role was made over the July 4, 2025, weekend.

🎯IMPACT: The launch of the America Party and Taneja’s role as treasurer has renewed the December 2024 fight between Musk and supporters of President Donald J. Trump over the former’s aggressive support for expanding H1-B visas, allowing the importation of cheap foreign labor.

IN FULL

Tesla CEO and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk has tapped his struggling electric vehicle company’s chief financial officer (CFO), Vaibhav Taneja, to serve as the treasurer of the America Party. The move has revived criticism of Musk’s zealous support for replacing American workers with cheap foreign labor through H1B visas.

The move is also seeing renewed allegations of Musk and his associates being “broligarchs”—a term popularized by former Trump White House Chief Strategist and WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon—as PACs and political parties typically employ experienced campaign finance experts as treasurers and avoid hiring personal company employees so as to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

The new America Party’s treasurer, Vaibhav Taneja, has served as Tesla’s CFO since 2023. Notably, Taneja was born and educated in India, receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Delhi University in 1999 and a qualified chartered accountancy from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in 2000. From 1999 until 2016, Taneja appears to have worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in India, moving on to Solar City in 2016. A year later, Taneja became part of Tesla’s India operations after Solar City was acquired by Musk’s company, and in 2023, he ascended to the role of Tesla’s CFO.

On social media, the revelation that an Indian is serving as a leader in the America Party has drawn significant backlash. Musk, himself a South African immigrant, drew similar criticism in December 2024 over his aggressive support for the importation of cheap foreign labor. In a series of posts, Musk disparaged American workers, called for an unprecedented expansion in foreign work visas, and threatened that he would be unrelenting in his push to expand the number of foreign workers in America.

While Musk was eventually forced to walk back his comments—especially after it was pointed out that his own visa status was questionable before he attained U.S. citizenship—the billionaire tech mogul has continued to quietly advocate for increased foreign workers.

Meanwhile, Taneja’s role as CFO is also raising renewed allegations of “broligarchy.” The term refers to a tight-knit cadre of Silicon Valley technology billionaires who have attempted to gain political influence to consolidate their market dominance and access to foreign imports and cheap foreign labor.

Taneja, as the CFO of Tesla, has one of the highest compensations of any chief executive in the country. Notably, after incentives, Taneja’s salary of $139 million in 2024 far exceeded the salaries of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Having someone with such close financial and personal ties to Musk serve as the treasurer of Musk’s America Party could raise ethics concerns.

Whether Taneja is well enough versed in U.S. campaign finance law to perform his role, or capable of standing up to Musk, is unclear. Regardless, the fact that Musk installed Taneja as the America Party’s treasurer—given the plethora of potential ethical conflicts—will raise alarm bells.

Gunman Dead After Ambushing Border Patrol Agents.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A gunman entered a Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport in Texas and ambushed federal agents before being shot and killed.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The unnamed gunman, armed with a rifle and wearing tactical gear, and Border Patrol agents.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Early Monday morning at the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport, Texas.

🎯IMPACT: Flights at McAllen Airport have been delayed. Graphic photos show the gunman lying dead outside the federal building.

IN FULL

An active shooter was killed after entering the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport in Texas on Monday morning. The gunman, who had not been identified as of the time of publication, ambushed federal agents during the incident.

According to a witness, the man was armed with a rifle and wearing tactical gear when he launched the attack. Border Patrol agents responded by neutralizing the threat. The ambush appears to be intentional, with Border Patrol agents purposely targeted. Some reports indicate that a McAllen police officer was wounded during the exchange of gunfire, but they are believed to be in stable condition.

The attack follows weeks of political agitation by Democrat lawmakers, some directly calling for action against U.S. immigration agents. A number of Democratic officials have been arrested for physically interfering with immigration enforcement actions, including Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who pleaded not guilty to assaulting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel in federal court at the end of June.

Meanwhile, former Democratic Party vice presidential nominee, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), has publicly likened ICE agents to the Gestapo in Adolf Hitler’s Germany. Additionally, in June, Cudahy, California, Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez posted a social media video in which she called on Hispanic gangs to defend illegal immigrants from ICE agents.

The latest incident caused significant disruption at McAllen International Airport, with all flights delayed as authorities secured the area.

Federal Govt and Soros Managed ‘Independent’ Media Together After the Cold War.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Documents confirm that U.S.-funded “independent media” in Europe was co-managed with George Soros’s Open Society Institute during the post-Soviet transition.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, George Soros’s Open Society Institute, and Open Media Research Institute (OMRI).

📍WHEN & WHERE: 1994–1997, Central and Eastern Europe; financial disclosures from 2023.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Yep, that’s right, our government co-founded the research arm for ‘independent media’ in Europe alongside George Soros – an arrangement that was in place for several years.” — Jennica Pounds, a.k.a. “Data Republican”

🎯IMPACT: Confirms decades-long entanglement between U.S. federal media operations and the Soros network’s influence campaigns in former communist nations.

IN FULL

In the 1990s, George Soros’s Open Society Institute partnered with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)—a U.S. government-funded “independent” broadcaster—to establish the Open Media Research Institute (OMRI). This joint venture, headquartered in the Czech capital of Prague, took over the analytical responsibilities of RFE/RL’s dissolved Research Institute and operated from 1994 to 1997.

Archival material highlighted by software engineer Jennica Pounds, known by her X (formerly Twitter) handle @DataRepublican, confirms that OMRI’s work fed directly into RFE/RL’s reporting. OMRI’s Information Services Department ran multiple archives and compiled intelligence on post-Soviet and Eastern European developments. These documents were later deposited with the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives, named after the father of Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State under President Joe Biden.

At the same time, RFE/RL—classified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and operating under EIN 52-1068522—was and still is funded by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). In FY2023, RFE/RL disclosed receiving over $167.7 million in federal funds, of which $167.5 million came from USAGM. No subrecipients were listed for any of the funds.

The financial structure of this arrangement reveals a long-running public-private fusion between U.S. federal messaging efforts and Soros-backed information infrastructure, operating under the guise of “independent journalism.” These ties remain relevant today, as RFE/RL continues broadcasting into Europe and beyond while relying entirely on U.S. taxpayer dollars.

The Blinken Archives formally processed and revised these records in 2003. The archival listing directly states that OMRI was the institutional successor to RFE/RL’s internal analysis unit, and its funding and staffing were heavily integrated with Soros-backed foundations during its entire operation.

Under the Trump administration, the Senior Advisor to USAGM, Kari Lake, has moved to aggressively cut back the agency’s staff and budget, saying, “For decades, American taxpayers have been forced to bankroll an agency that’s been riddled with dysfunction, bias, and waste. That ends now.”

House Republicans are also investigating USAGM for years of alleged visa abuses and potential infiltration by foreign spies.

Deadly Texas Floods Leave Dozens Dead.

At least 80 are dead, including dozens of summer camp kids, after unexpected flash floods ripped through Texas over the weekend.

The details: Late Thursday, torrential rain caused the Guadalupe River to overflow, causing widespread flooding into Friday. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed Sunday that 68 of the deaths occurred in Kerr County – 40 adults and 28 children.

Summer camp submerged: At Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp, five girls and the camp director were among the confirmed dead. Eleven campers and one counselor are still unaccounted for.

  • Camp Mystic director Dick Eastland died while trying to save his campers

Federal response: President Trump wrote on Truth Social that he signed a disaster declaration “to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need.”

Rescue efforts: More than 850 rescues were made across the region in 36 hours, with 366 conducted by air.

  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem singled out U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petter Officer Scott Raskin, who “directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding.”

Playing politics: Left-wing news outlets like the NY Times tried to blame the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service for the loss of life.

  • Homeland Security debunked those accusations, posting a detailed timeline of events, showing it gave “12 hours of advance notice via the Flood Watch and over 3 hours of lead time for Flash Flood Warnings.”

The last word goes back to President Trump, who said: “These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing… GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!”

Rescue efforts are ongoing.
