USPS Worker Indicted for Discarding Over 300 Mail-In Ballots.

A former USPS worker faces federal charges for allegedly discarding over 300 mail-in ballots, raising concerns about election integrity.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A former U.S. Postal Service (USPS) worker in Utah has been indicted for allegedly setting aside more than 300 mail-in ballots and discarding them rather than delivering them to voters, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Damon Matai Seei, 34, of Payson, Utah, was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 16 on a charge involving the unlawful secretion, destruction, and delay of mail and was arrested Tuesday before making his initial appearance in federal court in Salt Lake City.
📺 DETAIL: Prosecutors allege Seei was working as a letter carrier on June 3 when he was entrusted with delivering mail to more than 300 residents in Eagle Mountain ahead of Utah’s June 23 primary election. The case came to light after complaints prompted the county clerk to review voter participation data and identify unusually low turnout in the area where the complaints originated. It is unclear whether the affected voters received replacement ballots or were otherwise able to cast their votes, with federal investigators expected to contact them as the investigation continues. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter said the alleged disposal of hundreds of ballots was a serious federal crime, adding that election integrity is not a partisan issue. The investigation was conducted jointly by the USPS Office of Inspector General and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Seei is scheduled to appear in court again on November 30.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “When American voters lawfully cast their vote, they should feel confident that it is counted.” – Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter
🎯 IMPACT: The case underlines concerns about the handling and security of mail-in ballots, particularly when large numbers of ballots are entrusted to individual postal workers. With investigators still determining whether affected voters were able to cast replacement ballots, the incident could fuel broader scrutiny of election-related mail procedures and ballot safeguards ahead of future elections.

Trump DOJ Hits Back at Corporate Media Lawsuit Against White House Bans: ‘Access is a Privilege, Not a Right.’

The Trump administration has stated that access to the White House is a privilege, not a right, in response to corporate media outlets suing the administration over their loss of White House access.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has defended the administration’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), and POLITICO from the White House, calling corporate media access to the complex a privilege rather than a constitutional right. In a late-night filing Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., four DOJ attorneys, including Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate, argued that Trump acted after determining the outlets had failed to meet expected standards of professionalism and decorum.
📺 DETAIL: The filing accuses the three news organizations of publishing verifiably false claims about national security and other matters, as well as sensitive or classified information. The DOJ argues that Trump has therefore preliminarily revoked their access in response to these issues, while emphasizing that their right to report on the administration generally remains unaffected. The filing also cited Trump’s heated exchange with CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations on Tuesday as evidence that the President remains willing to interact with the three outlets outside the White House. CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO have sued over the restrictions, claiming that the ban violates the First Amendment. Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly is scheduled to hear arguments Wednesday afternoon.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The President concluded that [the banned outlets] have failed to maintain basic minimum ‘standards of professionalism and decorum expected of those given access to the White House Complex, including’ by ‘publishing sensitive or classified information… In response, the President has preliminarily revoked their continued access to White House grounds… After all, access to the White House is a privilege—not a right.” – DOJ filing
🎯 IMPACT: The dispute could have broader implications for the relationship between the Trump administration and corporate media organizations, with Fox News joining liberal networks in a television pool boycott in support of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO. The administration has launched “Trump TV” in response, providing Americans with direct coverage of the presidency.

UK PM Burnham Refuses to Meet Mother of Woman Murdered by Migrant.

The mother of a woman murdered by a boat migrant has condemned Prime Minister Andy Burnham after he refused to meet with her.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The mother of a 27-year-old British woman murdered by a Sudanese asylum seeker has criticized British Prime Minister Andy Burnham for refusing to meet with her family nearly two years after her daughter’s killing. Siobhan Whyte’s daughter, Rhiannon Whyte, was killed at a railway station in Walsall, England, in October 2024 after leaving work at a nearby hotel where her attacker, Deng Chol Majek, had been staying at the taxpayers’ expense.
📺 DETAIL: Majek was convicted of murder and possessing a screwdriver as an offensive weapon after prosecutors presented CCTV footage showing him attacking Rhiannon on a railway platform. The court heard that Rhiannon suffered 19 wounds to her head, including a fatal brain stem injury, and died in a hospital three days later after being found by a train driver and guard. In a letter sent via Labour Party lawmaker Matt Western, Burnham described the killing as “an awful tragedy” and claimed he shared Siobhan’s anger over the killer’s lack of remorse, but essentially dismissed her by noting a previous meeting with a junior Home Office minister. Siobhan accused the Prime Minister of sending “half arsed condolences” on Wednesday, saying she would never stop seeking answers for her daughter. The case raises questions about Britain’s asylum system, with the court hearing that Majek had told British authorities he was a teenager, despite German authorities recording him as 27 during a failed asylum claim.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Where were Rhiannon’s human rights that she wasn’t able to come home that night?” – Siobhan Whyte
🎯 IMPACT: The case is likely to intensify debate in Britain over the vetting, monitoring, and detention of illegal immigrants, as Rhiannon Whyte’s family continues to press the government for answers. Siobhan Whyte’s campaign for “Rhiannon’s Law,” which calls for asylum seekers to be detained instead of being left at large among the public while their claims are processed, could add pressure on officials to consider tighter safeguards.
📺 FLASHBACK: Majek had been flagged for concerning behavior at the hotel where he lived, including staring at female staff. Despite these warnings, no preventive action was taken before the attack on Rhiannon.

Trump ‘Ripped Into’ Former UK PM Starmer Over Open Border Policies During 2025 Lunch Meeting.

President Donald J. Trump “ripped into” then-Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during a 2025 meeting in Britain, according to former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump heavily criticized then-Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s immigration policies during a lunch meeting in Britain in 2025, according to former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I sat in on a lunch with the President and Starmer… The President just starts ripping into him for his policies. He’s like, ‘Your policies here are so stupid, you need to close your borders, you need to deport these people you have in your country. I know your country, I know your people, they hate what you’re doing…’ And Starmer’s just sitting there.” – Karoline Leavitt
📰 DETAIL: Leavitt related the conversation in an interview with Sean Hannity this week. It took place during a lunch meeting where Trump expressed his disapproval of Starmer’s policies, particularly on immigration and border control. Starmer allowed illegal immigration to Britain via small boats crossing the English Channel to spiral further out of control during his tenure, having scrapped a plan to transfer asylum seekers to Rwanda during his first days in office. Trump and Starmer also clashed over the British leader’s plan to transfer the Chagos Islands, which host a British-American military base, to China-aligned Mauritius, a position the President reiterated on Tuesday in his first meeting with Starmer’s successor, Andy Burnham. Trump also publicly and repeatedly expressed his disbelief at Starmer’s refusal to reopen the North Sea for oil and gas exploration, which had contributed to sky-high energy prices and the closure of plants and factories in the United Kingdom. Starmer was forced out of office by Britain’s ruling Labour Party in an internal coup after losing heavily to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party in local elections in May.

Trump Secures Arctic Security Agreement With Greenland and Denmark, Two New Bases Planned.

The U.S., Denmark, and Greenland have signed a landmark agreement allowing for expanded American military operations and facilities on the Arctic island, solidifying its strategic importance.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S., Denmark, and Greenland signed an agreement allowing the U.S. to expand its military operations and facilities in Greenland, including establishing new defense areas and modernizing the Pituffik Space Base. The agreement was finalized during the UN General Assembly.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in Manhattan on Tuesday by President Donald Trump, Greenland Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
📺 DETAIL: The agreement permits the U.S. to establish new defense areas in Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig, modernize existing facilities, and block non-NATO nations from setting up bases in Greenland without approval. The deal is indefinite and remains valid even if Greenland gains independence from Denmark. This move follows the Trump administration’s long-standing focus on Greenland’s strategic location between the U.S., Russia, and China.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “As I announced just days ago, the U.S. has also reached an unprecedented agreement regarding the Northern Frontier of North America—the large and strategically vital piece of land known as Greenland. This agreement… gives the United States permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory. We will have the complete ability to do what is necessary to defend the American continent.” – President Trump
🎯 IMPACT: The agreement strengthens U.S. defense capabilities in the Arctic region, ensuring greater security against potential threats from Russia and China. It also underscores Greenland’s growing importance in global geopolitics and secures long-term cooperation with Denmark.

JD Vance Ousts 750K from Obamacare for Suspected Fraud, Reviewing 450K More.

The Trump administration has taken significant measures to combat fraud in Obamacare, removing 750,000 enrollees and saving taxpayers billions.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration has removed 750,000 people from Obamacare due to suspected fraudulent enrollment, saving an estimated $2.2 billion. Additionally, 450,000 more enrollees are under review for potential irregularities.
👤 WHO WAS INVOLVED: Vice President JD Vance, the chairman of the Trump administration’s anti-fraud task force, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, announced and explained the measures.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on Tuesday at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We are stopping Obamacare enrollment for about 750,000 people who we believe are fraudulently enrolled in the program. Those 750,000 people are people that we feel confident either don’t know that they’re enrolled in the program, aren’t using the program at all, are unaware of it, or… are potentially phantom people.” – Vice President Vance
🎯 IMPACT: The removal of these enrollees reduces the burden on taxpayers while addressing systemic vulnerabilities in the Obamacare program. The administration has also imposed a six-month moratorium on new brokers and agents enrolling customers to prevent further fraud.
📰 DETAIL: Vance explained that many of the removed enrollees were either unaware of their enrollment, not using the program, or entirely fictitious entities created to defraud taxpayers. Dr. Oz emphasized the importance of identifying and removing fraudulent participants, noting that the administration had exhausted efforts to contact these individuals without success. The administration is also reviewing 450,000 enrollees whose cases show irregularities but do not meet the threshold for immediate removal.
📺 FLASHBACK: President Trump has consistently criticized Obamacare and vowed to dismantle it, calling it a costly and inefficient program.

Canadian Euthanasia Deaths Surpass U.S. Gun Homicides Annually.

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program recorded more deaths in 2024 than U.S. gun homicides, raising ethical and societal concerns about the program’s rapid expansion.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAID) program accounted for more deaths in 2024 than gun homicides in the United States, despite the U.S. having roughly eight times Canada’s population. Health Canada reported that 16,499 people received MAID in 2024, compared with 15,364 people killed by firearms in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.
📺 DETAIL: MAID killings were 1,135 ahead of the number of U.S. firearm homicides. MAID deaths reached a record high in 2024 and represented about five percent of all deaths in Canada, or roughly one in 20. Canada initially restricted MAID to people whose deaths were reasonably foreseeable when the program was legalized in 2016, but eligibility was expanded in 2021 to include people with serious conditions whose deaths were not reasonably foreseeable. The program remains the subject of debate over further expansion, including whether MAID should eventually be available to people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness, a change currently delayed until 2027. Critics have also raised concerns over individual cases and proposals regarding the scope of eligibility, fueling broader debate over safeguards for vulnerable Canadians.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “State-administered death is now more common in Canada than gun homicide is in the U.S. That didn’t happen by accident.” – Senator Mike Lee
🎯 IMPACT: The scale of Canada’s MAID program is likely to intensify debate over the country’s approach to assisted suicide, particularly as lawmakers consider whether eligibility should expand further. The figures are also likely to fuel scrutiny of safeguards and the circumstances under which Canadians can access MAID, especially for people with disabilities or other vulnerabilities.

Court Convicts 15 in Connection with Easter Church Bombings.

Fifteen men have been convicted in Sri Lanka for their roles in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings targeting Christians and tourists, marking a significant step toward justice for one of the country’s deadliest terror attacks.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Sri Lanka’s High Court has convicted 15 men over their alleged roles in plotting the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings that killed 270 people, including five U.S. citizens, and wounded more than 500. Among those convicted was Naufer Moulavi, whom prosecutors identified as a mastermind of the coordinated suicide attacks, while nine other defendants were acquitted.
📺 DETAIL: The bombings targeted three churches and three luxury hotels and marked the deadliest attacks in Sri Lanka since the country’s civil war ended in 2009, with 45 foreigners among those killed. All of the suicide bombers died in the explosions, while investigators have previously linked the attacks to Islamist extremists. The 25 men originally indicted were members of Sri Lanka’s Muslim minority, with one dying in custody, and the defendants faced more than 23,000 charges. The court postponed sentencing after the verdict. The case has also renewed scrutiny of alleged intelligence failures, after authorities admitted that a warning from India about a possible attack was not properly shared, while a separate investigation is examining allegations that former intelligence chief Suresh Sallay helped orchestrate the bombings. Sallay, who denies the allegations, was arrested in February. Former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has also denied claims that the attacks were deliberately allowed to occur to boost his family’s political fortunes.
🎯 IMPACT: The convictions mark a significant step in Sri Lanka’s long-running effort to hold those responsible for the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings accountable, although questions remain over alleged intelligence failures and possible involvement by senior officials. The separate investigation into former intelligence chief Suresh Sallay and allegations involving the Rajapaksa family could keep the attacks at the center of Sri Lanka’s political and security debate.
📺 FLASHBACK: The Easter Sunday bombings were attributed to Islamist extremists. Widespread protests and demands for justice have persisted since the attacks, with citizens seeking accountability from both perpetrators and government officials.

Ukraine Has Struck ‘American-Linked’ Ships and Oil Supplies: Rubio.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that U.S.-linked oil infrastructure is being caught in Ukrainian strikes amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that American-linked oil infrastructure has been targeted by Ukraine in recent months amid its war with Russia, although he added that the strikes were “probably” not deliberate. Rubio said the incidents were among Washington’s concerns as the conflict threatens to pull U.S. interests into the fighting.
📺 DETAIL: Rubio linked recent increases in oil prices to fighting between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea, as well as the conflict involving Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. It was not immediately clear which specific incidents Rubio was referring to, although Ukraine has carried out strikes on the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, which hosts export facilities for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. The consortium counts U.S. energy companies Chevron and ExxonMobil among its major shareholders. Rubio’s comments came ahead of a scheduled meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly, with Rubio saying Washington supports a proposed ceasefire covering energy infrastructure on both sides. Rubio said halting attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and Russian energy producers would be an “ideal outcome.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “American-linked ships, American oil supplies have been targeted, probably not deliberately, but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. And so that’s something that needs to be addressed.” – Marco Rubio
🎯 IMPACT: The remarks underscore Washington’s concern that the Russia-Ukraine conflict could affect U.S. energy interests and contribute to higher global oil prices. Support for an energy infrastructure ceasefire could give the Trump administration another avenue for reducing risks to global energy supplies while limiting the potential for American-linked assets to be caught in the fighting in Eastern Europe.

DATA: One-Third of Democrats Would Feel Positive About Trump Being Assassinated.

A new poll shows troubling attitudes towards political violence among Democrat voters, with significant support for President Trump’s assassination.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A new poll found that significant numbers of Democrat voters expressed positive reactions to various scenarios that would remove President Donald J. Trump from office, including some involving his death or a military takeover of the government. According to the Center for Strategic Politics survey, 59 percent of Democratic respondents said they would feel “very positive” or “somewhat positive” if a military junta overthrew Trump and seized control of the government, while 55 percent said they would react positively to news that Trump had died peacefully. The poll also found that 32 percent of Democratic respondents would feel positive if Trump was assassinated at a rally, compared with 43 percent who said they would react negatively and 25 percent who would be neutral.
📺 DETAIL: Support was higher for constitutional or political means of removing Trump, with 87 percent saying they would react positively to impeachment and removal, and 84 percent saying the same about removal under the 25th Amendment. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has left open the possibility of another impeachment effort, saying earlier this month that Democrats had “not ruled anything in and… not ruled anything out” and would “follow the facts.” The survey further found that large majorities of Democrats support prosecuting Trump administration officials over immigration enforcement, the war in Iran, and strikes against suspected drug traffickers. Other proposals receiving majority support included prosecuting Trump and Biden government officials over the Israel-Hamas war, ending the Senate filibuster, and expanding the Supreme Court. Among potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders, Kamala Harris led with 25 percent, followed by Gavin Newsom at 15 percent, Pete Buttigieg at 13 percent, Jon Ossoff at 10 percent, Mark Kelly at nine percent, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at eight percent. The poll surveyed 683 Democratic voters on September 3 and from September 8-10, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.75 percentage points.
🎯 IMPACT: The poll highlights the intensity of Democratic opposition to President Donald J. Trump, with substantial portions of respondents expressing support for extraordinary measures, including death or a military coup, to remove him from office. The findings could fuel debate over political polarization and left-wing extremism ahead of the midterm elections.
📺 FLASHBACK: The poll follows multiple assassination attempts on Trump during his 2024 candidacy and presidency, including a shooting in Butler where a gunman hit his ear and killed one of his supporters, Corey Comperatore.

Mamdani Again Calls for Netanyahu’s Arrest in NYC.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged the U.S. to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he visits Manhattan to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) has renewed his call for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he travels to New York City this week for the United Nations General Assembly. Mamdani, a Democratic socialist and Muslim immigrant, has repeatedly backed the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and argued that the United States should enforce it, despite Washington not being a party to the Rome Statute that created the court.
📺 DETAIL: The ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in 2024, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on the Jewish State. Netanyahu has rejected the allegations as false and absurd. Mamdani has previously shown support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, and used of the phrase “globalize the intifada.” More recently, controversy has surrounded Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, over social media activity involving posts celebrating Hamas’s October 7 attack.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “If the International Criminal Court deems someone worthy of an arrest because of a violation of those laws, then who are we to say that anyone should be above that?” – Zohran Mamdani
🎯 IMPACT: Mamdani’s renewed demand puts his opposition to Netanyahu and Israel’s Gaza campaign back at the center of New York’s political debate as the UN General Assembly begins, while highlighting the sharp divide between City Hall and the federal government over the ICC warrant.
