Trump Enacts Orders to Halt Birth Tourism, Restrict Birthright Citizenship.

President Trump has issued two executive orders addressing birth tourism and attempting to narrow the scope of birthright citizenship, marking significant changes to U.S. immigration policy.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump signed two executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship and ending birth tourism, despite the Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Barbara affirming birthright citizenship. Trump said the administration was making “adjustments” to address abuses of the immigration system, arguing that the original intent of the 14th Amendment was to protect the children of former slaves rather than foreigners traveling to the United States to give birth.
📺 DETAIL: According to the White House, one order identifies additional categories of children of noncitizens who are not entitled to birthright citizenship under historical exceptions recognized by the Supreme Court, while the second directs the Departments of State and Homeland Security to halt the practice of birth tourism. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the administration is using its authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny visas to applicants seeking to enter the country solely to give birth and secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Miller also said the birthright citizenship order expands exclusions to include categories such as enemy aliens, members of foreign terrorist organizations, and certain individuals acting on behalf of foreign governments.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright. It was close, but a very, very unfortunate decision. So we’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair. This was done right after the Civil War… for the babies of slaves, and what’s happening now? People are building businesses around it.” – President Trump
🎯 IMPACT: It is hoped that the orders will reduce the number of foreign nationals exploiting U.S. laws for automatic citizenship and welfare benefits, while addressing national security concerns by limiting citizenship eligibility for individuals tied to foreign adversaries or terrorist organizations.
📺 FLASHBACK: The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Trump v. Barbara earlier this year upheld birthright citizenship under the Constitution, a ruling the Trump administration has sought to address through administrative action.
📈 DATA: Birth tourism reportedly accounts for thousands of births annually in the United States, with some estimates suggesting as many as 33,000 such cases each year.

One in Five Subsidized Student Loans Are Going to Foreign Nationals.

The rising share of foreign students taking out tuition and maintenance loans in the United Kingdom, many of whom do not repay them, has sparked concerns about waste, fraud, and abuse.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Non-British citizens account for one in five student loans in the United Kingdom, according to new research.
📺 DETAIL: The share of student loans going to non-citizens has risen from 10.2 percent to 19.3 percent. This means that the share of student loans going to non-citizens has roughly doubled over the past decade. Foreigners from the European Union (EU) represent a large portion of these non-citizens, especially Romanians, who account for one in 20. Foreign students were handed approximately £4 billion (~$5.4 billion) in tuition and maintenance loans overall. Foreign students are also 25 percent less likely to repay their loans compared to British students. This results in estimated annual losses for taxpayers ranging from £1.2 billion to £2.2 billion. Student Loans Company data shows that roughly 195,000 of the 239,000 foreign loan recipients hold settled status.
🎯 IMPACT: The growing financial burden on British taxpayers could reach billions annually, as the cost of unpaid loans continues to mount. The Department for Education has since pledged to crack down on abuse and improve enforcement measures for debt collection. This represents another case of immigration serving as a net drain on British taxpayers. If the figures lead to the exposure of widespread abuse, it is likely to damage the reputation of Britain’s higher education system further.
📺 FLASHBACK: This is not the only metric showing a rise in foreigners in Britain’s education system. Last month, it was revealed that White British students have become a minority at 27 universities across the country.

Donations to Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s Labour Party Collapse by 84 Percent.

The governing Labour Party’s latest financial report has revealed that donations fell drastically between in 2025, placing pressure on new Prime Minister and Labour Party leader Andy Burnham.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Funding for the United Kingdom’s governing Labour Party fell by over 80 percent in 2025.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, it was revealed that donations to the Labour Party fell by 84 percent in 2025 compared to the year prior. This represents the biggest drop-off among the three main parties. Donations to Olukemi “Kemi” Badenoch’s Conservative Party fell by 46 percent, while donations to the Liberal Democrats, a progressive liberal party that supports re-joining the European Union and open borders, fell by 65 percent. Donations to “Count Binface,” the novelty candidate currently contesting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election, fell by 93 percent. These figures detailing the Labour Party’s financial collapse come just weeks into new Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s tenure. Despite experiencing a momentary “Burnham Bounce” in the polls, the party still trails Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, which experienced a 290 percent increase in funding between 2024 and 2025. Despite extensive media coverage, Zack Polanski’s far-left Green Party only increased donations by eight percent in the same period. The Labour Party secured £6.4m (~$8.6m) in donations. In contrast, Reform secured £22.8m (~$30.6m). The Conservatives received £15.2m (~$20.4m), the Greens received £2.7m (~$3.6m), and the Liberal Democrats received £2.6m (~$3.5m).
🎯 IMPACT: These findings likely reflect the widespread dissatisfaction with the current Labour-controlled British government. Since entering office in July 2024, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the party has declined in the polls due to unpopular economic policies, high-profile scandals, and the ongoing illegal immigration crisis. These figures also suggest a movement away from the two major parties: Labour and the Conservatives, the latter of which also experienced a significant drop in donations. By contrast, the figures show growing confidence in Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

RINO Governors Move to Counter Mass Deportations With State Work Permits for Migrants.

Two Republican governors are joining Democrats to advocate for state-issued work permits for migrants, undermining President Donald J. Trump’s federal immigration policy.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Two Republican-in-name-only (RINO) governors are working with the Democrats to issue work permits to migrants and bypass federal deportation orders.
📺 DETAIL: Governors Spencer Cox (R-UT) and Kevin Stitt (R-OK) have partnered with Governors Wes Moore (D-MD) and Matt Meyer (D-DE) to propose a plan allowing states to issue work permits to migrants, bypassing federal deportation processes. The proposal was introduced via the National Governors Association’s Task Force on Immigration Policy. “The reason I set this task force up is because I realized by talking to my colleagues that they’re having the same issues… Let’s actually have the governors issue workforce permits,” said Stitt. “We were really stunned that everybody had kind of the same opinions on what needed to be done,” added Cox. The governors’ proposal aims to address labor shortages in their respective states, especially in agriculture and construction.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We were together in February and having a conversation about immigration, and we were all shocked at the level of bipartisanship, cooperation, and agreement,” said Cox.
🎯 IMPACT: This shows how many prominent Republican politicians continue to prioritize cheap foreign labor over American workers. Cox’s comments in particular highlight how immigration liberalization unites the establishments of both parties, despite widespread support for lowering immigration among the American people. It is possible that this move by RINO governors to overtly align with Democrats will heighten tensions within the Republican coalition ahead of the midterms.
📺 FLASHBACK: This is not the first time that Republican governors have sought to undermine President Trump’s agenda. Last month, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) voiced opposition to President Trump’s plan to deport Haitian illegal migrants by stripping them of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a humanitarian immigration status that allows migrants to legally live and work in the United States. RINOs have also sought to undermine redistricting measures. For instance, the Republican-controlled South Carolina Senate voted against a new congressional map that sought to eliminate the state’s racially gerrymandered black-majority Democrat-voting district in May.

DOJ Denied Access to D.C. Voter Rolls by Obama Judge.

A federal judge ruled that the Justice Department cannot compel Washington, D.C., to hand over its full voter list, citing legal limitations under the Civil Rights Act of 1960.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama has rejected the U.S. Justice Department’s effort to obtain Washington, D.C.’s complete voter registration list, ruling the agency lacks the legal authority to compel the city to provide names, birthdates, identification numbers, and other nonpublic voter information. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1960 permits the attorney general to request individual voter registration records but does not authorize access to a state’s or district’s compiled voter registration list.
📺 DETAIL: The Justice Department argued it needed the data to compare voter records against federal databases to identify potentially ineligible voters, including deceased individuals and noncitizens. Washington, D.C., provided its public voter list but declined to release additional identifying information, such as driver’s licenses and partial Social Security numbers, that federal officials sought. Moss ruled that voter registration lists are created by election officials from individual registration records and, therefore, are not covered by the 1960 law’s record-production requirements. He added that if the Justice Department believes broader authority is necessary, it must seek changes from Congress rather than the courts. The ruling follows similar decisions by judges in other states, including Maryland and Virginia, where courts also rejected the administration’s attempts to obtain full voter registration lists.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “If the Department of Justice wants more, it needs to lodge that objection with Congress.” – Judge Randolph Moss
🎯 IMPACT: This decision represents another setback for the DOJ’s efforts to scrutinize voter rolls across the country.

After Initial Rejection, FDA Greenlights First mRNA Flu Vaccine.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Moderna’s mRNA-based flu vaccine for adults 50 and older, despite earlier regulatory concerns.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Moderna’s mRNA-based seasonal flu vaccine. 
📺 DETAIL: Named mFLUSIVA, the vaccine was approved on Wednesday. It is aimed at people aged 50 and older. The decision comes after the FDA initially declined to approve the vaccine back in February. Specifically, the vaccine was initially blocked as the clinical trial did not use the best available comparator for adults aged 65 and older. “We are grateful to the clinical trial participants, investigators, regulators and Moderna teams whose contributions made this milestone possible,” read a statement from Moderna, which further said the approval “reflects the ongoing potential of our mRNA platform to help address important public health challenges through continued scientific innovation.” This follows the decision of Secretary for Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to withdraw approximately $500 million for mRNA vaccine research and move funding toward traditional platforms.
🎯 IMPACT: The approval of the vaccine coincides with the appointment of the new Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. Erica Schwartz as the new in a party-line vote. Dr. Schwartz previously served as Deputy Surgeon General during President Donald J. Trump’s first term. This is significant as she replaced Susan Monarez, who was reportedly removed from her post due to an alleged disagreement with Secretary Kennedy Jr. over vaccines.
📺 FLASHBACK: There have been several major vaccine-related developments in recent weeks. In late July, Secretary Kennedy Jr. alleged that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief Medical Advisor to former President Joe Biden, suffered an adverse event after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in January 2021. “He got vaccinated… in January of [2021]. And then, five months later, he had… a pulmonary infarction, which is one of the adverse events that NIH, CDC, and FDA said are expected from the vaccine,” said Kennedy Jr. This was revealed roughly a week before the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times, refusing to answer even questions about the color of his tie.

FCC Clears Path for Expanded TV Station Ownership.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has decided to relax the TV station ownership cap in an attempt to help local broadcasters consolidate and compete with streaming giants.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has voted to relax limits on TV station ownership.
📺 DETAIL: In a 2-1 vote, the FCC has allowed companies to own local stations covering more than 39 percent of households in the United States. The FCC also voted to allow companies to own more than two stations in a single market if deemed in the public interest. The vote was held on Thursday. “Viewpoint diversity” will reportedly be factored in when determining public interest. The purpose of removing the cap is to allow broadcasters to achieve scale and compete with broadcasting giants like Netflix. The cap removal was also framed as a way to help local journalism expand. The change to the cap comes as traditional television faces declining viewership and revenue due to the popularity of streaming, which accounts for over 40 percent of all viewership, according to Nielsen, a major audience research firm. “Local broadcasters are struggling in terms of audience and revenue, and this plan could give them some needed relief,” said Jeff McCall, professor of communications at DePauw University.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “In my view, if you care about trusted sources of local news and information, you have to care about the future of local TV stations. They are the economic engines that produce the paychecks for so many of the local journalists that remain in the business. So how can the FCC maximize the odds that those institutions continue to survive and hopefully thrive into the future? To start, we should stop hamstringing this one segment of the broader market with outdated restrictions,” said FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
🎯 IMPACT: The represents an overturning of the 39 percent ownership cap which was established in 2004, over 20 years ago. This will allow local media to consolidate into larger entities capable of staying competitive. The decision is expected to reshape the broadcasting industry. 
📺 FLASHBACK: Removing the cap was first proposed back in July. “When it comes to broadcast news, our country could do with a little less Hollywood and a little more local reporting from communities across the country,” said Carr at the time.

Trump Denies Missile Shortages, Vows ‘Treasonous’ Leakers Will Be ‘Hunted Down.’

President Trump disputed reports that U.S. munitions are heavily depleted, while warning that leakers will be “hunted down.”

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump said Thursday that the United States maintains a “massive” stockpile of munitions while vowing that officials responsible for leaking classified information about U.S. weapons inventories will face prosecution. This follows reports claiming the Army has nearly exhausted its supplies of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) during the five-month conflict with Iran.
📺 DETAIL: Reuters, citing sources familiar with internal military data, reported that the war has also significantly reduced inventories of Patriot and THAAD missile interceptors and Tomahawk cruise missiles, though the Pentagon insists the military retains the capabilities needed to carry out operations worldwide. Trump rejected the reports on Thursday, saying the U.S. has more munitions than any other nation and that defense companies are rapidly expanding production with new factories across the country. He also accused the leakers of committing “treasonous” acts and said they are being pursued. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reposted Trump’s statement on X. Defense analysts have warned that while the U.S. still has enough precision weapons for the current conflict, shrinking stockpiles could limit its ability to respond to future crises involving adversaries such as China or Russia.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!” – President Trump
🎯 IMPACT: The reported depletion of munitions raises concerns about America’s preparedness for future conflicts, particularly in the Pacific region, where tensions with China are escalating. Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is pleading for more missile interceptors, with Ukrainian forces having failed to intercept a single Russian missile during an overnight barrage earlier this week.
📈 DATA: Some estimates indicate the U.S. has used over half of its stockpiles of certain weapons systems in the Iran war, with military analysts claiming that replenishing these inventories could take years.

McConnell Leaves Rehab, But Will Not Return to Senate Before Recess.

Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from a rehabilitation facility and will continue his physical therapy at home, with plans to finish his final Senate term after an upcoming recess.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reports that he has been discharged from a rehabilitation facility but will continue physical therapy at home rather than immediately return to Congress. The 84-year-old has faced pressure to resign after weeks of speculation about his health and his ability to fulfill his congressional duties.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I’ve received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff,” McConnell said in a statement issued Thursday.
🎯 IMPACT: McConnell, who will not seek reelection in November, intends to return to the Senate to complete his final term, but is unlikely to resume his duties before the August recess. Republicans have nominated Representative Andy Barr (R-KY) as his successor for the upcoming election.
📺 DETAIL: McConnell’s decision not to seek reelection opens a new chapter for the Republican leadership, which McConnell had dominated for almost two decades, becoming the longest-serving Senate party leader in American history. He stepped down as GOP leader in the Senate only in January 2025, shortly before his longtime rival President Donald J. Trump’s second term began. He has often voted against the Trump administration’s agenda since the President returned to office, helping the Democrats to delay or block key appointments and legislative initiatives.

Over 630,000 Arizona Voter Files Were Stolen in 2020 Hack, But Biden’s DOJ Declined to Prosecute.

A hacker admitted to breaching Maricopa County’s voter registration system before the 2020 election, stealing over 633,000 records, but prosecutors under the former Biden regime declined to press charges.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Declassified FBI documents released Thursday by the White House indicate that more than 633,000 Maricopa County, Arizona voter registration records were accessed in a cyber intrusion during the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election, but no criminal charges were filed, despite investigators saying the suspect admitted to carrying out the breach.
📺 DETAIL: According to the records, the self-described “hacker or tinkerer” exploited a vulnerability in the county recorder’s website with a PowerShell script between October 21 and November 2, 2020, obtaining voter registration information, including about 930 records containing sensitive data related to domestic violence victims, judges, and law enforcement officers. FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau devoted significant resources to the investigation, but the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Phoenix, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, and local county prosecutors all declined to prosecute, with the federal case formally closing in 2023. The suspect allegedly told agents he discovered the website flaw in September 2020 and automated access to voter records. He claimed he later deleted the files and wiped storage devices after realizing the seriousness of his actions. FBI agents executed a search warrant at the suspect’s Fountain Hills home, seizing computers, hard drives, and USB devices. The documents state voter registration records, not ballots, were accessed.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The bureau spent significant resources but could not get the U.S. Attorney’s Office… or other agencies to bring charges despite an admission from the alleged hacker.” – FBI Director Kash Patel
🎯 IMPACT: Poor security for voter registration data will undermine voter confidence and could disrupt future elections. The FBI’s inability to secure a prosecution raises questions about a partisan agenda on election integrity under the former Biden regime.

DIRTY TRICKS EXCLUSIVE: Afghan Migrants Paid to Campaign in Clacton, Against Farage, by Labour/Green Donor.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, discovered Afghan migrants being paid to distribute anti-Nigel Farage material in Clacton, where the Reform UK party leader is fighting a parliamentary by-election.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Afghan migrants were found distributing anti-Nigel Farage material in the Clacton-on-Sea constituency (electoral district), where the Reform UK party leader is contesting a parliamentary by-election (special election), by Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse.
📰 DETAIL: In a video report shared on X (formerly Twitter), Kassam explained he had been campaigning in Clacton with Farage and Reform when they “stumbled upon two recent Afghan migrants” being paid to deliver copies of Babelfish, an anti-Farage newspaper, by Dale Vince, a prominent Labour and Green Party donor. Kassam added that the newspaper contained “anti-Farage and anti-Reform messaging from groups like Hope Not Hate,” which previously employed Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s controversial strategy chief, Matthew McGregor. Kassam also stressed that Babelfish is not a registered campaigner in the election, meaning Vince could potentially be breaking electoral law. The Afghans told The National Pulse chief that they were not from Clacton, but Ipswich, which is in an entirely different parliamentary constituency.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “On the campaign trail today in Clacton, we encountered a group of recent Afghan migrants delivering leaflets on behalf of Dale Vince’s anti-Reform Babelfish newspaper. Vince, a Labour and Green Party donor, recently announced he intended to spend money campaigning against Farage, though hasn’t registered as a campaigner in the constituency. Not only is this legally murky, but ethically an obviously huge issue.” – Raheem Kassam
🎯 IMPACT: The involvement of Afghan migrants in distributing campaign materials on behalf of an organization that is not registered as a lawful participant in the Clacton by-election raises serious legal and ethical questions, particularly concerning its unregistered status in the election.
