The Senate Finance Committee advanced Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) in a tight vote along party lines, paving the way for a final confirmation vote in the full Senate. The Committee voted 14 to 13 to approve RFK Jr. following a tense confirmation hearing in which Democrat Senators accused RFK Jr. of being a vaccine denier and peddling conspiracy theories.
During the process, RFK Jr. made several promises, telling leftist Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) that he would not take any money from Big Pharma or insurance companies after his term in the position ended, for instance. He also told the Committee that he would implement the policies of President Donald J. Trump if confirmed, particularly highlighting a proposed ban on late-term abortions.

“We cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year,” RFK Jr. told the Committee, labeling every abortion a “tragedy.”
The successful vote for RFK Jr. largely came down to Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who was believed to be hostile to the nomination. However, just before the vote, Senator Cassidy released a statement indicating he held “very intense” talks with Kennedy and the White House last weekend and this morning.
He thanked Vice President J.D. Vance for his counsel, adding that he changed his vote to ‘yes’ after receiving “serious commitments” from the Trump administration.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Javier Roman Hernandez, Mary Gonzales, Jesus Llamas-Yanez, Enrique Gomez-Urbina, and federal authorities.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Hernandez entered the U.S. in July 2023 via Hidalgo, Texas. Gonzales was found murdered on October 6, 2023, in Austin, Texas.
💬KEY QUOTE: “These alleged cold-blooded murderers should have never been in our country in the first place and Mary Gonzales should still be alive.” – DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
🎯IMPACT: The case highlights the dangers of the former Biden government’s immigration policies and the use of the CBP One app.
IN FULL
An illegal immigrant accused of murdering a woman, identified as Mary Gonzales, reportedly entered the United States through the CBP One app during former President Joe Biden’s administration. Authorities say Javier Roman Hernandez crossed into the country in July 2023 through Hidalgo, Texas, using the app, which was designed to let migrants schedule appointments at ports of entry. Gonzales’s body was discovered on October 6, 2025, in a wooded area near a tire shop in Austin. Hernandez was arrested two days later and charged with her murder.
Hernandez is one of nearly a million migrants who entered the U.S. through the CBP One system, which critics have described as a loophole for inadmissible entrants. Two other men, Jesus Llamas-Yanez and Enrique Gomez-Urbina, were also charged in connection with the killing. Authorities say both were in the country illegally; Llamas-Yanez reportedly has prior convictions and is wanted in Mexico.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the case highlights the risks of Biden’s immigration approach. “These alleged cold-blooded murderers should have never been in our country in the first place and Mary Gonzales should still be alive,” McLaughlin said. “One of these criminals came into our country using Biden’s disastrous CBP One app. Open border policies have deadly consequences. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, these accused murderers will never be free on American streets to commit heinous crimes again.”
The former Biden regime launched the CBP One app in January 2023 to provide migrants with a legal way to schedule entry appointments. The program was heavily criticized, as it effectively legalized unlawful entry by granting parole to people who would otherwise be turned away. Reports later revealed that several migrants accused of terrorism or violent crimes, including three suspected Islamic State members and two alleged Tren de Aragua gang members, had entered the United States using the app.
When President Donald J. Trump returned to office in January 2025, his administration shut down CBP One, canceling thousands of pending appointments. In March 2025, it was rebranded as “CBP Home,” a tool that allows illegal migrants to voluntarily self-deport. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said at the time, “The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future. If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: Remarks were made on Thursday, October 23, during a roundtable at the White House.
💬KEY QUOTE: “In a matter of weeks, the task force has made the largest number of arrests of cartel leaders, operatives and gang members in American history, more than 3,000 and counting.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: Over 3,000 arrests of cartel members, with military strikes targeting drug-trafficking operations.
IN FULL
The Homeland Security Task Forces (HSTFs), a 50-state joint task force established by President Donald J. Trump on January 20, has arrested more than 3,000 violent criminals—including cartel leaders, operatives, and gang members—since its inception. “We’re here today to discuss a sweeping, unprecedented, and historically successful operation that my administration has carried out in recent weeks to arrest, prosecute, and permanently remove members of foreign drug cartels from American soil,” President Trump said on Thursday at a White House roundtable on his administration’s efforts to combat foreign drug cartels and domestic gang crime.
“In a matter of weeks, the task force has made the largest number of arrests of cartel leaders, operatives and gang members in American history, more than 3,000 and counting,” he said, continuing: “That includes members of the ultra-violent new generation cartel, the Sinaloa Cartel, the lnfm Cartel, MS-13 cartel… and Tren de Aragua.”
“These are, in addition to the massive numbers of dangerous criminals my administration arrested nationwide since January 20, numbering over 120,000. It’s a record and 120,000 criminal arrests. Unfortunately, for four long years before I took office, the last administration allowed the cartels and their operatives to frankly take over our country,” Trump added.
The America First leader declared that South and Central American drug cartels “are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere.” The National Pulse reported earlier this month that President Trump formally notified Congress that the United States is now engaged in an official “armed conflict” with the cartels. Since late September, the Trump administration has ramped up foreign operations targeting cartel members, including executing military strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats launching from Venezuela.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Proof that Biden Atty General Merrick Garland, Deputy Atty General Lisa Monaco, [and] FBI Dir Chris Wray all PERSONALLY APPROVED opening Arctic Frost.” – Chuck Grassley
🎯IMPACT: The DOJ memo conclusively shows top government officials authorized the Arctic Frost investigation, largely seen as a troubling weaponization of the justice system by the former Biden government against its political opponents.
IN FULL
Senator Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has released a memo from the former Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) conclusively showing that former Attorney General Merrick Garland, former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray all approved opening the Arctic Frost investigation. The disclosure comes after the current FBI Director, Kash Patel, revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith, under the auspices of Artic Frost, tracked the private communications and phone records of at least twelve Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the January 6 Capitol riots.
“Just received this doc [from the] DOJ,” Grassley wrote in a post on X (former Twitter) on Thursday, adding: “Proof that Biden Atty General Merrick Garland, Deputy Atty General Lisa Monaco, [and] FBI Dir Chris Wray all PERSONALLY APPROVED opening Arctic Frost. This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels. My oversight will continue.”

The FBI investigation served as the impetus for former Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s false elector prosecution of President Donald J. Trump, as well as other Biden government lawfare efforts against the America First leader. Grassley stated that the document, which contained handwritten signatures from Garland, Wray, and Monaco, was provided by the DOJ as part of his oversight authority.
Earlier this month, The National Pulse reported that Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) is demanding the DOJ appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the misuse of FBI resources by Smith and others in the former Biden government to spy on Republican lawmakers and everyday Americans. Hawley was among the lawmakers whose calls were tracked under Arctic Frost.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The developments were reported on October 23, 2025, with discussions ongoing regarding the company’s potential sale or restructuring.
🎯IMPACT: The potential sale or restructuring of Warner Bros. Discovery could significantly reshape the entertainment and streaming industries, expanding Big Tech’s influence in the media and entertainment sectors.
IN FULL
Big Tech’s influence over American media and entertainment could soon drastically expand with Warner Bros. Discovery announcing that it is reviewing “strategic alternatives” to maximize shareholder value after receiving unsolicited interest from multiple parties. Concerningly, among the rumored potential buyers are tech giants Netflix, Amazon, and Apple, who are reportedly interested in acquiring either the entire company or specific assets like content libraries and production facilities.
The company has already turned down three offers from Paramount, including one as high as $24 per share. Paramount recently completed a merger with Skydance Media, which could complicate its ability to pursue another major acquisition.
Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns major properties such as HBO, CNN, DC Studios, and its namesake film studio, has also received inquiries from Comcast. Earlier this year, Comcast—which owns NBCUniversal—announced it was dumping MSNBC, with the far-left cable network subsequently rebranding as My Source News Opinion World (MS NOW) under its new owner, Versant.
The potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery comes as the company plans to split its cable TV and streaming businesses next year. This move could make it easier for buyers to acquire specific portions of the business rather than the entire company.
In July, The National Pulse reported that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) joined a lawsuit brought by a group challenging alleged collusion by Big Tech companies and corporate media entities, alleging they unlawfully conspired to throttle independent media competitors by labeling their reporting as “misinformation” or “disinformation.” Netflix, Amazon, or Apple’s purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery is likely to similarly solicit considerable scrutiny from the Trump administration.

📍WHEN & WHERE: California, as outlined in a statement on Wednesday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law—and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.” – Nancy Pelosi and Kevin Mullin
🎯IMPACT: Legal experts have noted that the authority for states to arrest federal officers lacks clear precedent and could face significant legal challenges.
IN FULL
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), in a joint statement with Representative Kevin Mullin (D-CA), suggested that local law enforcement authorities could arrest federal agentswho violate California laws while enforcing federal immigration policies.
“Reports of a planned mass immigration raid in the Bay Area are an appalling abuse of law enforcement power. Broad sweeps that target families and terrorize law-abiding residents betray our nation’s values and waste resources that should focus on real threats to public safety,” Pelosi and Mullin wrote, continuing: “It is important to note that California law protects communities and prevents federal agents from taking certain actions here that we have witnessed in other states. While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not.”
“Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law—and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them,” the two House Democrats concluded.
San Francisco District Attorney (DA) Brooke Jenkins devised the idea of arresting federal immigration agents on charges like excessive use of force. “I had lead time to think about what authority I have and what I can do. This is something I felt very strongly about, and I had my office research it,” she explained in a recent interview.
According to the San Francisco DA, her office could review footage of incidents involving federal agents and seek warrants for their arrests if excessive force is identified. However, Jenkins acknowledged potential hurdles, including agents operating in masks or without identification, as well as legal challenges to a new California law barring agents from wearing masks, which takes effect in January.
Legal experts, including Berkeley School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, note the lack of precedent for such actions. Chemerinsky recently commented, “As long as the ICE agents are acting legally, the state can’t prosecute them and hold them liable, even if it dislikes what they’re doing.”
The arrest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents has previously been threatened by U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Cummings, who has barred arresting illegal immigrants inside or near the Cook County courthouse in downtown Chicago, Illinois, unless they can produce a warrant.

🎯IMPACT: The case has increased concerns over worsening public safety due to mass migration.
IN FULL
Five Syrians are under investigation in Heinsberg, a town near Aachen, Germany, following the alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old girl. The public prosecutor’s office in Aachen has confirmed that the suspects include both adults and minors. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities say they are working to gather more details surrounding the case.
The attack has raised significant concerns about the safety of the wider community and has prompted discussions on mass migration. Notably, an astonishing one in 20 Syrians are now believed to reside in Germany, with over half on welfare—in addition to asylum seeker aid. From 2010 to 2023, the equivalent of around $145bn is estimated to have been paid to foreigners generally.
The link between mass migration and crime in Europe is clear, with almost half of all criminal suspects in neighboring Austria being foreigners, for instance.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a Donald J. Trump ally who has taken a strong line against mass migration, said of Germany last year, “[T]his Germany isn’t the Germany that our grandparents and our parents used to set before us as an example, saying, ‘Son, if you want to see a hard-working person, go to Germany, if you want to see well-organized work, go to Germany. If you want to see order, go there, where there’s order…’ It’s a colourful, transformed, multicultural world in which the migrants coming in are no longer guests of the country. This is now their country too, and it’s increasingly becoming theirs.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Senate Republicans and Democrats, military service members, and federal workers.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Thursday, October 23, in Washington, D.C.
🎯IMPACT: The Senate remains deadlocked, and no solution to reopen the government is in sight.
IN FULL
A Republican-backed bill that would have ensured payment for military servicemembers and federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown was blocked by Senate Democrats. The legislation failed to garner the necessary 60 votes to overcome a filibuster on a vote of 54 to 45.
Sponsored by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), the legislation authorized appropriations to ensure payments for federal employees required to work during the shutdown, as well as military personnel and contractors. An alternative bill, offered by Senate Democrats, that authorized money to pay all federal workers—including those on furlough—and prevent the White House from laying off more federal employees during the shutdown failed to pass on unanimous consent.
Largely considered as a test vote to gauge current Democrat support for a clean continuing resolution (CR) already adopted in the House, Sen. Johnson’s bill saw three Democrats join with the Republican majority: Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), and Raphael Warnock (D-GA). Ossoff is facing reelection in 2026 and is a top target for Republicans. Additionally, there was one absence on the vote.
Previously, Sens. Angus King (I-ME), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Fetterman voted to pass the clean CR, suggesting that with the additions of Warnock and Ossoff, the Senate is inching ever closer to the 60 votes needed to end the Democrat shutdown. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who has joined Senate Democrats on other votes to keep the government shutdown going, voted in favor of the bill.

🎯IMPACT: The crash has reignited concerns about immigration policies and federal safety standards for commercial truck drivers.
IN FULL
Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old truck driver and Indian national who entered the United States illegally in 2022, has been charged following a fatal multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 10 in California. The crash, which occurred on October 22, claimed the lives of three individuals and left several others injured.
According to authorities, Singh was driving a semi-truck that failed to brake before slamming into slowed traffic, triggering an eight-vehicle pileup involving four commercial trucks. Dashboard camera footage shows the truck striking a car and continuing into other vehicles, with one passenger car catching fire. Three fatalities were reported, including former Pomona High School assistant basketball coach Clarence Nelson and his wife, Lisa.
Singh was arrested at the scene by California Highway Patrol officers. He is being held without bail and faces charges of driving under the influence of drugs, causing bodily injury, and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has since lodged an immigration detainer against Singh, who was previously released under “alternatives to detention” after entering the U.S. illegally in March 2022.
The crash has drawn attention to California’s truck driver safety standards. Earlier this year, the Trump administration withheld over $40 million in highway safety funds from the state, citing its failure to meet federal English language proficiency requirements for truck drivers. Additionally, the U.S. government temporarily paused the issuance of worker visas for commercial truck drivers to review vetting procedures.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The DNC is so mad that President Trump is building a new ballroom at the White House, they posted a sad Instagram video last night. Too bad their intern put in a photo of the East Wing in Buckingham Palace, not the White House.” – Official GOP account on X.
🎯IMPACT: The East Wing, an outbuilding separate from the iconic White House Executive Residence that dates from the 1940s, is to be replaced by a grand ballroom, allowing presidents to host large-scale events and state dinners.
IN FULL
The Democrats have been caught confusing the East Wing of the White House, currently being replaced by a new ballroom funded by President Donald J. Trump and private donors, with the East Wing of Buckingham Palace, the primary residence of the British Royal Family in London. In a “ragebait” style post uploaded to the party’s official Instagram account, the Democrats claim and show a slideshow of the outbuilding “in a different time”—including images of the British royal residence.
“The DNC is so mad that President Trump is building a new ballroom at the White House, they posted a sad Instagram video last night. Too bad their intern put in a photo of the East Wing in Buckingham Palace, not the White House,” the GOP noted on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, adding, “Cry more libs.”
Notably, the current East Wing is not part of the iconic White House Executive residence, which was begun in the 18th century. Instead, it is a 1940s outbuilding, largely obscured by shrubbery at street level, erected to conceal the parallel construction of an emergency bunker for then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The Trump ballroom will be significantly larger and enable presidents to host large-scale events and state dinners that are currently difficult to accommodate at the White House complex.
The DNC is so mad that President Trump is building a new ballroom at the White House, they posted a sad Instagram video last night.
Too bad their intern put in a photo of the East Wing in Buckingham Palace, not the White House.
The Trump administration is further trolling the Democrats by adding a “major events timeline” to the White House website, including not only historical milestones such as the addition of the north portico in 1829-1830 and the Oval Office in 1909, but high-profile scandals involving Democrat presidents.
Among the controversies listed is the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing during the Biden government in 2023. The timeline notes, “Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user,” and references his laptop, which contains materials related to alleged drug use and foreign business dealings involving his father, Joe Biden, during his vice presidency. Another slide highlights the Monica Lewinsky scandal during Bill Clinton’s presidency in 1998, and Barack Obama’s 2012 hosting of a Muslim Brotherhood delegation, a group linked to Islamist extremism.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re going to be fierce in terms of our response… this is the lawsuit that I will file within a nanosecond of any efforts to send the military to one of America’s great cities, San Francisco.” – Gavin Newsom
🎯IMPACT: The confrontation could lead to a landmark legal battle over the limits of presidential power under the Insurrection Act.
IN FULL
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) says he will take legal action to prevent President Donald J. Trump from deploying National Guard units to San Francisco, even though the President has not yet issued such an order. Already, over 100 federal immigration agents are being deployed to the Bay Area as the Trump White House continues to ramp up enforcement actions.
“We’re going to be fierce in terms of our response,” Newsom stated during a press briefing. “We are going to be focused, and quite literally this is the lawsuit that I will file within a nanosecond of any efforts to send the military to one of America’s great cities, San Francisco.”
He characterized San Francisco as one of the safest large cities in the country and accused Trump of politicizing public safety. “Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you, [Donald Trump],” Newsome wrote, reiterating his legal threat, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed preparations at its Alameda base to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. A spokesman remarked that this effort is part of a “whole-of-government approach” to address illegal border crossings.
While President Trump has not yet issued an order to deploy National Guard units to San Francisco, the America First leader has indicated he is inclined to do so, stating: “We’re going to San Francisco and we’ll make it great. It’ll be great again.”
The Trump White House has legally defended National Guard deployments in other cities under the President’s direct constitutional authority to deploy the National Guard domestically, and additional powers granted under the Insurrection Act—though the latter has yet to be invoked.
