Swalwell Accusers Go Public: ‘He Thought He Was Untouchable.’

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has announced his resignation from Congress and withdrawal from the California gubernatorial race following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including claims of assault and inappropriate messaging.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Accusers of Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) have come forward following his resignation from Congress, which follows allegations of sexual misconduct. Multiple women have accused Swalwell of sending inappropriate messages, unsolicited explicit photos, and even sexual assault, prompting investigations by authorities.
📺 DETAIL: Swalwell is alleged to have abused his position under the pretense of professional mentorship by multiple women, sending them inappropriate and explicit images. Ally Sammarco, who previously came forward publicly, has now been joined by Annika Albrecht, who told CBS, “For me, justice won’t be until he can’t ever harm a woman ever again, and he has faced the consequences for the women that he has harmed.” The women are not satisfied with his resignation from Congress, noting that he appears to have done so only to spare himself the embarrassment of being forcibly expelled by fellow lawmakers.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “He thought he was untouchable. He acted with total impunity. He never thought that the consequences of his actions would follow him,” said accuser Ally Sammarco.
🎯 IMPACT: Swalwell’s resignation buries high political aspirations. He had previously run for President, and was in the middle of a now-abandoned bid for Governor of California, when the current scandal overtook him. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is investigating the accusation of sexual assault, which Swalwell denies, calling the allegations politically motivated. The scandal has sparked broader discussions about accountability in politics and the misuse of power by Democrat officials.
📺 FLASHBACK: Swalwell has been embroiled in scandals in the past, including questions about his connections to a suspected Chinese spy.

DNI Gabbard Issues Criminal Referrals for Inspector General and ‘Whistleblower’ Involved in Trump Impeachment.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has issued criminal referrals against key figures in President Trump’s first impeachment, reigniting scrutiny of the events surrounding the 2019 inquiry.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has issued criminal referrals to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for two people involved in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump in 2019. These referrals target a so-called whistleblower and former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, although their specific alleged crimes remain undisclosed so far.
📺 DETAIL: The Justice Department will ultimately decide whether to open a criminal investigation, as referrals themselves do not guarantee prosecution. Gabbard has recently criticized how the original whistleblower complaint was handled, particularly by the intelligence community’s inspector general. The whistleblower’s complaint centered on a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which led to impeachment proceedings pushed by the Democrats. Gabbard has released documents she says show misconduct or procedural failures in how that complaint was processed. Supporters of the move argue it secures accountability for wrongdoing in the impeachment process.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Deep state actors concocted a false narrative that Congress used to usurp the will of the American people and impeach duly-elected President [Donald Trump] in 2019.” – Tulsi Gabbard
🎯 IMPACT: The referrals will likely reignite debates over the dubious legitimacy of the 2019 impeachment and the role of intelligence officials in how the impeachment process was orchestrated. Though Trump was acquitted in a Senate trial, the potential prosecutions could deter future spurious impeachments. The Justice Department has not yet announced whether it will act on the referrals.

Pope’s MAGA Brother Targeted by Bomb Threat.

A bomb threat at the home of Pope Leo XIV’s brother in Illinois was found to be a hoax after a police investigation.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A bomb threat was reported at the home of Pope Leo XIV’s brother, Louis Prevost, in New Lenox, Illinois. A supporter of President Donald J. Trump, the Pope’s brother had been praised by the President earlier this week, amid a dispute between the administration and the pontiff over crime and U.S. military action in Latin America and the Middle East. 
📰 DETAIL: The New Lenox Police Department conducted a thorough search using bomb-sniffing K-9s and found no evidence of an explosive device, concluding that the bomb threat was a hoax. Residents were evacuated as a precaution but have since returned home. The incident is under investigation to determine the source of the false report.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The incident remains under investigation as authorities work to determine the origin of the report,” the New Lenox Police Department said in a statement, adding, “Making false reports of this nature is a serious offense and may result in criminal charges.”
🎯 IMPACT: The false bomb threat disrupted the local community, prompting evacuations and a police investigation, highlighting the serious nature of such false reports. Notably, it comes amid an escalating dispute between the Trump administration, which Prevost supports, and the Pope, who has been making thinly-veiled public criticisms of U.S. foreign policy. 
👀 FLASHBACK: Earlier this week, President Trump praised Prevost on his Truth Social platform, writing, “I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t.”

Mamdani’s Wife Apologizes for Social Media Posts Praising Terrorists and Using Slurs.

Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), has apologized for controversial social media posts praising Palestinian terrorists and using racial slurs.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Rama Duwaji, wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), issued a public apology for old social media posts where she praised Palestinian terrorists and used offensive language, including racial slurs.
📺 DETAIL: Posts from Duwaji’s past were exposed in March, including one celebrating Shadia Abu Ghazaleh, an aircraft hijacker and member of the U.S.-designated terrorist group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Other posts included a racial slur for black people. Her X (formerly Twitter) and Tumblr accounts were deleted following the exposé. Duwaji, an artist, has also faced scrutiny for providing art for an essay by an author who praised October 7 and referred to “Jewish supremacist vampires.” Duwaji’s Instagram account has also been observed liking posts celebrating the October 7 attacks.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “When a tabloid recently published old tweets I wrote as a teenager, I felt a lot of shame being confronted with language I used that is so harmful to others; being 15 doesn’t excuse it.” – Rama Duwaji
🎯 IMPACT: Duwaji’s apology has reignited scrutiny of her and her Uganda-born Twelver Muslim husband, Zohran Mamdani, particularly regarding their views on Israel and the Middle East. The posts raise concerns for Jews in New York City and the influence Mamdani and his wife may have on various policies, considering his office.

Official Report Finds Mandatory Vaccines Were ‘Political and Not Led by Clinical Advice.’

The official COVID-19 inquiry in the United Kingdom—roughly equivalent to a U.S. congressional investigation or special commission—has revealed that mandatory vaccination policies were driven by political factors rather than medical evidence.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Britain’s official COVID-19 inquiry has reported that the country’s mandatory vaccination policies were “political and not led by clinical advice,” exacerbating distrust of a health care system that nearly collapsed during the pandemic.
📺 DETAIL:  The inquiry report warns that rebuilding trust will be critical before any future pandemic. The inquiry also criticized the system for inadequately compensating people harmed by vaccines, recommending higher payouts and reforms. The findings come as part of a wider investigation into Britain’s pandemic response, which has already warned that the socialized National Health Service (NHS) came close to being overwhelmed. Experts involved in the inquiry stress that lessons from the pandemic must lead to stronger preparation and clearer communication strategies. The British government mandated vaccines for healthcare workers and required vaccination passports to enter certain venues and travel overseas.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “While the majority of people took up the offer of vaccination, when it was made, there was lower uptake within communities in areas of higher deprivation and in some ethnic minority communities. For many, their concerns centered on the safety of vaccines and possible side effects.” – Inquiry Chairwoman Baroness Heather Hallett.
🎯 IMPACT: Confirmation that the British government prioritizes political considerations over science when imposing measures such as mandatory vaccinations has further eroded public trust in government and the national health care system. On compensation for the vaccine-injured, Baroness Hallett criticized the government’s decision to restrict the relatively low compensation payouts to victims deemed at least 60 percent disabled and recommended changes, as the status quo leaves “those people with a significant injury that affects how they live, but does not meet the 60 percent threshold, with nothing.”

Israeli-American Adelson Hands $40 Million to GOP Midterm Efforts.

Israeli-American Miriam Adelson has emerged as the top donor for GOP super PACs as the 2026 midterm elections approach.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings reveal that Miriam Adelson, the Tel Aviv-born widow of Israeli-American billionaire Sheldon Adelson, is the largest donor to Republican Party super PACs in the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections, donating $30 million to the Senate Leadership Fund and $10 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund. Meanwhile, Budapest-born billionaire George Soros is the largest donor to Democrat super PACs.
📰 DETAIL: Adelson is a strong supporter of Israel and its military actions in the Middle East. The Senate Leadership Fund bankrolls Republican Senate candidates, while the Congressional Leadership Fund backs Republican House candidates. All told, the two super PACs raised over $110 million. On the other side of the aisle, Soros poured $50 million into his Democracy PAC, which later allocated $9 million to the Senate Majority PAC, which backs Democrat Senate candidates.
🎯 IMPACT: Adelson’s substantial donations may influence the stance of Republican lawmakers and candidates on the Iran war, at a time when the conflict and the U.S.-Israeli alliance more generally are dividing the party’s base. Polling by the Democracy Institute shows 52 percent of GOP voters oppose the war, and 51 percent of GOP voters believe Israel has too much influence over U.S. foreign policy. These sentiments are even stronger among voters generally, suggesting a strong pro-war, pro-Israel stance during the midterms could harm the party’s electoral prospects.
💬 FLASHBACK: “I’m gonna get her in trouble with this, but I actually asked her once, ‘So Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel?’ She refused to answer. That means, that might mean Israel.” – President Donald J. Trump, speaking in Israel in 2025.

Knife-Wielding Boat Migrant Attempts to Break Into Israeli Embassy in London.

A migrant from Kuwait who crossed into Britain illegally on a small boat is on trial for allegedly attempting a terror attack at the Israeli Embassy in London, trying to jump its fence armed with two knives.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Abdullah Albadri, a 34-year-old Kuwaiti migrant, allegedly attempted to break into the Israeli Embassy in London while carrying two knives in April 2025. Prosecutors say Albadri intended to carry out a terror attack in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict, citing a suspected martyrdom note and his own statements to police.
📺 DETAIL: Albadri was stopped by armed police just before gaining entry, with officers later finding a handwritten “martyrdom note” among his belongings. The court heard he wanted to “send a message,” referencing Gaza. Prosecutors argue the note, weapons, and phone evidence show he intended to carry out a suicide attack. Albadri denies preparing a terrorist act and claims the knives were for personal use because he was homeless.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I will not go back on my decision to go in the cause of Allah… to stand up to the enemies in order to support the religion of Allah Almighty.” – Handwritten note allegedly sent by Albadri to his mother.
💬 SECONDARY QUOTE: “The existence and contents of his suspected martyrdom note, along with his possession of two knives, and material downloaded from his mobile phone, demonstrate his intention to use violence against people inside the Israeli embassy and sacrifice his own life in the process, to die, in his words, ‘for the glory of God’.” – Prosecutor Catherine Pattison.
🎯 IMPACT: The court was told Albadri first arrived in the United Kingdom by small boat in 2021, left, and returned on another small boat in 2025. He had an asylum claim rejected shortly before the embassy incident. Boat migrants in Britain, who are often put up in hotels to live, have been behind a number of crimes in recent years, with one report claiming that hundreds have been charged with serious crimes like assault and rape.

Democrat With Sex Assault Allegations Found Dead in Murder-Suicide.

Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax’s children were home when he carried out the murder-suicide at the family’s Annandale home.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax (D) fatally shot his estranged wife, Cerina, and then turned the gun on himself in their Annandale, Virginia, home early Thursday morning. Their teenage children, aged 14 and 16, were present in the house but were unharmed, according to Fairfax County Police.
📺 DETAIL: The couple, though separated, had been living under the same roof and were reportedly using separate bedrooms. Cerina had filed for divorce last year, with court proceedings still ongoing and a hearing scheduled for next week. Police believe recent court paperwork served to Fairfax may have triggered the attack. Officers had previously been called to the home in January over an alleged domestic dispute, which was determined to be unfounded. Fairfax served as Virginia’s lieutenant governor from 2018 to 2022 under the highly controversial Governor Ralph Northam and unsuccessfully ran for governor himself in 2021.
🎯 IMPACT: The murder-suicide leaves the couple’s two teenage children orphaned and raises questions about whether the authorities failed to act on previous warning signs of domestic violence and mental health challenges. Relatives and victim services are currently caring for the children.
📺 FLASHBACK: Fairfax’s political career was overshadowed by allegations of sexual assault in 2019 and again in 2021 during his gubernatorial campaign. His wife, Cerina, supported him publicly during that time, though their relationship later deteriorated.

Europe Is Perilously Low on Jet Fuel.

The International Energy Agency has warned of severe global repercussions, including mass flight cancellations, if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked and fuel supplies constrained.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol, has warned that Europe may face jet fuel shortages within weeks if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, with global repercussions including widespread flight cancellations.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The warning comes as a fuel crisis driven by the Iran war intensifies globally, with Europe and Asia expected to be among the hardest-hit regions.
📺 DETAIL:  The crisis is being described as one of the most severe global energy disruptions in history, with potential ripple effects across economies worldwide. Rising fuel costs are pushing up prices for gasoline, gas, and electricity, contributing to inflation. Experts warn that Asia is being hit first due to its heavy reliance on Middle Eastern energy, followed by Europe and the Americas. European airports and airlines are already expressing concern about shortages ahead of the busy summer travel season. Industry groups say that without a resolution, fuel shortages at some airports could occur within weeks, worsening travel disruptions. In response to Iran’s closing of the Strait of Hormuz and a breakdown in peace negotiations, President Donald J. Trump announced in recent days that America would, in turn, blockade ships leaving Iranian ports.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I can tell you soon we will hear the news that some of the flights from city A to city B might be canceled as a result of lack of jet fuel.” – Fatih Birol, IEA Executive Director.
🎯 IMPACT: The ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is leading to higher gasoline, natural gas, electricity, and fertilizer prices, with potential flight cancellations and disruptions to tourism-dependent economies in Europe and beyond. The knock-on economic impact on countries in Europe that rely heavily on tourism could devastate some areas.

New Hungarian PM Promises STRONGER Borders, No Migration Pact With EU.

Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, has pledged to strengthen Viktor Orbán’s already strict immigration policies and reject the European Union’s Migration Pact.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, has announced that his government will not participate in the European Union (EU) Migration Pact, and pledged to reinforce Hungary’s border “even more.” Additionally, Magyar appears likely to cut legal immigration, having pledged to eliminate non-EU guest worker programs on the campaign trail.
📺 DETAIL: Magyar’s stance comes after his election defeat of outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who frequently clashed with the EU on immigration, sovereignty, and funding for Ukraine. EU officials openly celebrated Magyar’s ouster of Orbán, but while the incoming premier has signaled greater cooperation with the EU, such as not blocking a €90 billion loan to Ukraine, it appears he will remain firmly opposed to EU migration policies. 
🎯 IMPACT: Magyar’s rejection of the Migration Pact and his commitment to border reinforcement signal that Hungary will remain a key opponent of EU open border policies, despite the European establishment celebrating his ouster of Orbán. Notably, Magyar was until 2024 a member of Orbán’s party, suggesting his government may not be the sharp break from Orbánism many globalists have been hoping for.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Hungary will not accept any pact. In fact, I’m going to reinforce the border fence even more.” – Péter Magyar
📺 FLASHBACK: Viktor Orbán, Magyar’s predecessor, was frequently criticized by the EU for his hardline immigration policies, including the construction of border fences and refusal to accept EU migrant quotas. Orbán’s policies often led to clashes with EU leadership, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who welcomed Magyar’s election.

Pro-Life Activist Wins $1 Million Settlement Over DOJ Raid and Prosecution.

Mark Houck, a pro-life activist, has secured a seven-figure settlement after suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a controversial Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid and prosecution under the former Biden government.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Pro-life activist Mark Houck has reached a settlement exceeding $1 million with the Department of Justice (DOJ) after suing over his 2022 arrest by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Houck had been accused of violating the FACE Act following a 2021 altercation outside a Planned Parenthood clinic, but was acquitted by a jury in 2023.
📺 DETAIL: In 2022, a SWAT team of approximately 25 agents arrested Houck at his home in front of his children, leading to criticism of the Biden Justice Department for targeting pro-life activists disproportionately. Houck’s lawsuit accused the DOJ of conducting a “faulty investigation” and using “excessive force” during the raid. A recent DOJ report revealed evidence of selective prosecution against pro-life activists under the Biden government, including coordination with pro-abortion groups and even withholding evidence in some cases.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice… The weaponization that happened under the Biden Administration will not happen again.” – DOJ Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche
🎯 IMPACT: The settlement highlights the growing scrutiny over the DOJ’s mishandling of cases involving pro-life activists and raises questions about the Democrats’ politicization of federal law enforcement. Houck’s case has become a rallying point for conservatives calling for accountability and reform within the Justice Department.
📺 FLASHBACK: Emails uncovered by the aforementioned internal investigation reveal DOJ officials under the Biden government referring to Christian pro-lifers as “culty” and working to exclude them from jury pools, and in one instance, complaining about a “very Catholic” magistrate who was “very particular” about “not infringing on [defendants’] First Amendment rights.” On average, pro-life defendants faced more than double the average prison terms sought for pro-abortion defendants in FACE Act cases, strongly indicating that pro-lifers were not treated fairly.
