More than 700 deep state security and military officials have officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, claiming that former President Donald J. Trump “endangers” democratic ideals, ironically as Harris was never democratically nominated by her party.
The officials signed a joint letter endorsing Harris, lauding her for supporting Ukraine while claiming she “grasps the reality of American military deterrence.”

The letter is almost more of an expression of criticism and opposition to Trump as it is an endorsement of Harris, with the letter stating, “Mr. Trump threatens our democratic system,” and “He said he wants to be a ‘dictator,’ and his clarification that he would only be a dictator for a day is not reassuring.”
Among those who signed the letter are former Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, who served under Barack Obama, and several retired generals and admirals.
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung reacted to the latter, saying those who signed it “are the same people who got our country into endless foreign wars and profited off of them while the American people suffered.”
He added that Trump was the only president in recent history not to begin any new foreign wars.
The letter comes after prominent neocons also endorsed Kamala Harris in recent weeks, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the chief architects of the disastrous Iraq war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, currently pursuing the war in Ukraine, also endorsed Harris, stating she was his favorite earlier this month.
“Our ‘favorite,’ if you can call it that, was the current president, Mr. Biden. But he was removed from the race and recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. Well, we will do so – we will support her,” Putin said.

⚠️ Impact: The meeting indicates that negotiations between the United States and China continue apace.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump announced on Friday that his White House economic team will be meeting with their Chinese counterparts in London, England, on Monday, June 9, to continue talks about a long-term bilateral trade deal between the two nations. In May, President Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping agreed to a temporary pause in tariffs the two nations placed on each other’s exports while a more permanent agreement was negotiated.
“I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Friday. He added, “The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The temporary trade truce from May has faced numerous allegations of being violated by China. The National Pulse reported at the end of May that President Trump accused Beijing of violating the truce’s terms by continuing to restrict U.S. imports. That allegation was followed up by accusations by the U.S. and EU on Thursday that China has continued to restrict its exports of rare earth minerals, despite pledging to lift export controls in the May truce agreement.
Notably, the London meeting comes just hours after President Trump and Xi spoke on the phone regarding the state of the trade negotiations. Following the conversation, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to comment on his Chinese counterpart, writing, “I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!”

Deported Salvadoran illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, now returning to the United States to face criminal charges, has been accused of human trafficking, drug smuggling, gun running, and abusing women and children by Attorney General Pam Bondi, citing grand jury findings.
Abrego Garcia, who became a darling of the Democratic Party and segments of the media after he was deported to his native El Salvador despite a judge staying his removal to that country, was presented to the public as a hardworking father and “Maryland man” by his supporters, who demanded his return to the U.S. It subsequently emerged he was previously arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, and that his wife had filed a protective order against him for violent abuse.

Now, the authorities will be returning Abrego Garcia to the U.S.—because law enforcement has uncovered evidence of his long-term involvement in serious criminal activity. Among the “disturbing facts” that have emerged about the Salvadoran, per AG Bondi, are allegations he “traded the innocence of minor children for profit” by trafficking them. Co-conspirators allege he “abused undocumented alien females… who were under his control while transporting them,” and that he “solicited nude photographs and videos of a minor [and] played a role in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother.”
He is also alleged to be linked to a smuggling ring responsible for the deaths of 50 migrants being transported in a tractor-trailer that overturned in Mexico, among other offenses.
Bondi anticipates that, if convicted, Abrego Garcia will be deported from the U.S. after serving his sentence.

📍 Where & When: Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador months ago; he is now returning to face charges in the U.S.
⚠️ Impact: The case has become a political flashpoint, with Democrats criticizing the illegal immigrant’s initial deportation and advocating for his return.
IN FULL:
A Salvadoran illegal alien who was deported by the Trump administration is being brought back to the United States to face criminal charges for his alleged involvement in human trafficking operations, according to reports.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is accused of participating in a years-long scheme to smuggle illegal immigrants into Texas, including aliens reportedly linked to the violent MS-13 gang. He faces two criminal charges related to these allegations.
Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador earlier this year and detained in the country’s high-security mega-prison, CECOT, despite being subject to a withholding order that was meant to prevent his removal to the government. The Trump administration previously maintained that it lacked the legal authority to reverse his deportation, with Abrego Garcia being a Salvadoran citizen on Salvadoran territory.
Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat from Maryland, took the unusual step of traveling to El Salvador to meet with Abrego Garcia to advocate for him in person. Van Hollen and other Democrats have used the case to criticize the deportation and immigration policies of the Trump administration, characterizing him as an innocent “Maryland man.”
The National Pulse has previously reported how Abrego Garcia was accused of violent abuse by his wife and arrested on suspicion of human trafficking.

💬 Key Quote: “The Chinese… have used [fentanyl] as a directed approach… to take out generations of young men and women,” Patel said.
⚠️ Impact: Patel’s accusations highlight Trump’s America First focus on national security and intensifying efforts to combat the CCP’s role in the fentanyl crisis, killing over 100,000 Americans annually.
IN FULL:
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, accused the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of orchestrating the fentanyl crisis to undermine American youth. “The Chinese… have used [fentanyl] as a directed approach because we are their adversary,” Patel said, warning that the CCP aims to “take out generations of young men and women” who could otherwise become soldiers, police officers, and so on. He called it a “long-term plan” to weaken the U.S.
Patel detailed the FBI’s “massive enterprise to go after fentanyl precursor companies in mainland China,” where “the fentanyl precursors, the stuff you need to make fentanyl, comes from.” He noted, “They’ve got hundreds of companies… shipping this stuff out into the world.”
He said China had restricted exports of one fentanyl precursor, but “there’s 14 others they’re still shipping” to cartels in Mexico, India, and Vancouver, Canada, bypassing U.S. security.
Patel cited over 100,000 annual U.S. overdose deaths as a “tier one” national security threat, highlighting the CCP’s seemingly selective targeting of Americans. “You don’t hear fentanyl deaths in China… India… England, Australia, New Zealand, or… Canada,” he noted, saying the FBI is now working with Five Eyes partners Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand and orchestrating sanctions on Chinese firms to disrupt supply chains.
Patel slammed the former Joe Biden government for ignoring this “national security crisis” in favor of obsessing over climate change and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). He pledged, “We will not have kids dying of fentanyl overdoses in our streets” under the Trump administration, vowing to intensify efforts against the CCP’s role in the epidemic.

📍 Where & When: The shooting occurred near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.
💬 Key Quote: “This is a horrific crime, and these crimes are not going to be tolerated by me and my office.” — U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
⚠️ Impact: The attack is being investigated as a hate crime and an act of terrorism, with heightened security measures now in place around the area.
IN FULL:
A Chicago man has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and other crimes following the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Elias Rodriguez, 30, is accused of targeting Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, a young couple employed by the Israeli Embassy, as they left an event.
Authorities say Rodriguez approached a group of four people outside the museum before opening fire with a 9mm handgun, striking Lischinsky and Milgrim multiple times. According to charging documents, Rodriguez allegedly fired additional rounds at Milgrim after she attempted to sit up. Lischinsky was pronounced dead at the scene, while Milgrim succumbed to her injuries shortly after being transported by emergency services.
The shooting is being investigated as a hate crime and an act of terrorism. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro stated during a press briefing, “This is a horrific crime, and these crimes are not going to be tolerated by me and my office.”
Rodriguez, who allegedly declared his actions were “for Palestine” and “for Gaza,” was apprehended at the scene after surrendering to law enforcement. He reportedly purchased a ticket to the museum event hours before the attack and had flown to Washington, D.C., from Chicago on May 20 with the firearm in checked luggage.
Court documents indicate Rodriguez legally purchased the handgun in Illinois in March 2020. Investigators recovered 21 spent shell casings, a firearm magazine, and the gun used in the attack.
Rodriguez appeared in court on Thursday, where he was informed of the potential penalties if convicted, including life imprisonment or the death penalty. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 18, and Rodriguez remains in custody.
Last month, it was revealed that Rodriquez’s father was invited by Congressman Jesús ‘Chuy’ García (D-IL) to attend President Donald J. Trump‘s Congressional address on March 4. Eric Rodriguez was hailed as an “outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”

💬 Key Quote: “I was very worried for a time that MAGA would be bought out by the oligarch [like the Tea Party], and it’s just so satisfying to see that that is now no longer the case,” Kassam said.
⚠️ Impact: The Trump-Musk split reinforces MAGA’s independence, aligning with Trump’s America First vision against vested interests.
IN FULL:
Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has welcomed the split between President Donald J. Trump and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk, telling The Washington Post that it signals the MAGA movement will not sell out to vested interests like the Tea Party.
“This is a lesson the MAGA right needed to learn right now,” Kassam told the newspaper at Butterworth’s, the Washington, D.C. bistro where he is an investor. He noted that the Tea Party, the grassroots movement against Big Government that sprang up following Barack Obama’s election, previously “got bought out by the Kochs,” referring to Charles and the late David Koch, who support mass legal immigration and amnesty for many illegals.
“I was very worried for a time that MAGA would be bought out by the oligarchs, too,” Kassam continued. “And it’s just so satisfying to see that that is now no longer the case.”
Musk’s falling out with President Trump centers around the “one big beautiful bill” currently working its way through Congress. The bill increases funding for border security and defense while making permanent Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and enacting new tax cuts for tips, overtime, and social security.
While Musk and his cohorts claim it increases spending and the debt ceiling unacceptably, the administration argues it will actually result in substantial spending cuts, and that Musk is upset that this includes cuts to government support for electric vehicles (EVs), which his Tesla firm manufactures.

💬 Key Quote: “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense,” said Jason Torchinsky.
⚠️ Impact: Potentially deepening legal troubles for the Harvard Law Review.
IN FULL:
TheHarvard Law Review is facing multiple federal investigations over allegations of racial discrimination and actions that could amount to witness intimidation. Despite being under a federal document retention order as part of a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation, the law journal allegedly retaliated against a student editor who leaked files to the Washington Free Beaconand demanded that the documents be destroyed.
Notably, the Harvard Law Review faces numerous allegations of discriminatory behavior in its selection of editors and other staff. Internal memos and messages show that the law journal emphasized race and other diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) factors in the selection process, leading to discriminatory practices against white applicants. Consequently, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched formal investigations into the publication.
After receiving notice of the investigations, the Harvard Law Review was ordered to retain all documents and other relevant materials. Additionally, the publication was told that student editor Daniel Wasserman was cooperating with the government investigation. However, a week later, Wasserman was ordered by the journal to return or destroy any materials he had shared with media outlets. Notably, Wasserman was the source of leaked files published by the Washington Free Beacon.
Additionally, the journal issued a formal reprimand in Wasserman’s law review file, which likely constitutes illegal retaliation as the student editor was named by the federal government as a cooperating witness. Jason Torchinsky, a former Justice Department official, described such behavior as likely illegal, stating, “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense.”
While technically separate from Harvard University, the Harvard Law Review has a long-standing presence on campus and is considered a significant stepping stone for students with high ambitions in the legal field. A number of U.S. Supreme Court Justices once served as editors during their time at Harvard Law School.

📍 Where & When: United States; May 2025, with the data being released on June 6, 2025.
⚠️ Impact: Federal government employment dropped by 22,000 in May, private sector jobs exceeded expectations, and average hourly earnings saw significant growth.
IN FULL:
The U.S. economy added 139,000 jobs in May, according to the Department of Labor‘s latest report, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.2 percent. Economists had anticipated 125,000 new jobs, making the actual figure a modest improvement over expectations.
Federal government employment saw a notable decline, with 22,000 fewer jobs in May. This drop contributes to a total reduction of 59,000 federal positions since January, aligning with President Donald J. Trump’s ongoing efforts to reduce the size of government.
The private sector added 140,000 jobs, surpassing the forecasted 120,000. Within this sector, the services industry recorded a significant gain of 145,000 jobs. However, the goods-producing segment of the economy contracted by 5,000 positions, including an 8,000-job decline in manufacturing. A revision to April’s manufacturing numbers, however, showed a gain of 5,000 jobs instead of the previously reported loss of 1,000 jobs.
The labor force participation rate dipped slightly to 62.4 percent in May from 62.6 percent in April, reflecting a minor contraction in workforce engagement.
Average hourly earnings increased by 0.4 percent in May, doubling the rate of April’s growth and exceeding economists’ expectations. Over the last year, wages have risen by 3.9 percent, outpacing inflation and signaling stronger purchasing power for workers.
Revisions to previous months’ job numbers revealed a downward adjustment of 65,000 jobs for March (to 120,000) and 30,000 for April (to 147,000). Combined, these revisions indicate 95,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for the two-month period.
Over the past year, the U.S. economy has averaged 149,000 new jobs per month, reflecting a steady pace of employment growth.

💬 Key Quote: “If Elon’s temper tantrum has revealed anything, it’s that [President Donald J. Trump] isn’t bending over for big donors, no matter if it’s SpaceX, the Chamber of Commerce, or the Right to Work Foundation,” O’Brien wrote.
⚠️ Impact: O’Brien’s comments suggest the political realignment in the United States continues apace, with the Republican Party under President Trump becoming a more pro-working-class, populist political coalition.
IN FULL:
Sean O’Brien, the General President of the Teamsters Union, argues that the falling out between President Donald J. Trump and billionaire technology mogul Elon Musk proves the former is dedicated to putting American workers first. In a series of late-night posts on X (formerly Twitter), O’Brien, who was the first Teamsters leader in history to address the Republican National Convention, blasted Musk over the billionaire’s erratic social media posts attacking Trump and claiming credit for Republican wins in the 2024 election.
“Let’s get one thing straight: [President Donald J. Trump] wasn’t elected by Elon,” O’Brien wrote. “He won because working people have had enough of ego-driven billionaires like [Elon Musk] who want to run away to Mars only after they eliminate every decent job in this country.”
Musk’s attack on Trump’s tariffs—aimed at reshoring American jobs and restoring the nation’s manufacturing sector—appears to have prompted the response from O’Brien.
Notably, President Trump has enacted historic tariffs, which have brought over 100 nations to the negotiating table, seeking bilateral trade agreements. The National Pulse reported earlier this week that Vietnam—in an effort to reduce the tariffs on their products—has already agreed to increase their annual purchases of U.S. agricultural products to $2 billion. Such agreements are likely to have a significant impact on reducing the U.S. trade deficit overall.
“[Elon Musk] will abandon America—and Planet Earth itself—if it means he can stop Tesla’s stock implosion,” the Teamsters chief wrote in another post referring the historic collapse of Tesla’s stock value Thursday afternoon, adding: “If Elon’s temper tantrum has revealed anything, it’s that [President Donald J. Trump] isn’t bending over for big donors, no matter if it’s SpaceX, the Chamber of Commerce, or the Right to Work Foundation.”
“Thanks to this President, the GOP is changing, and for the better. We all need to be committed to working people if we want a better future, in our own country and across the globe,” O’Brien said.
In other posts, the Teamsters General President got a bit personal, writing: “Never forget that Elon doesn’t believe in America. Never has, never will. He brags about leaving this planet. He dreams of robots and rockets and money.” He added: “Have fun terraforming Mars with your kid army and incestuous space brood, [Elon Musk]. The rest of us don’t have escape pods. We have work in the morning.”
Taking another dig at Musk’s penchant for fathering children with multiple women, O’Brien quipped: “The only thing [Elon Musk] is worse at than colonizing Mars is respecting working people… and remembering to pull out.”

IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump has rejected reports he will hold a call with former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk on Friday, describing the tech mogul as “the man who lost his mind” in a telephone conversation with ABC’s Jonathan Karl.
Trump suggested on Thursday that Musk had “gone crazy” and questioned whether the Tesla and SpaceX founder, who is attacking the amount of government spending in the Trump-championed “big beautiful bill,” should continue receiving significant federal contracts and subsidies.
Musk, in turn, endorsed a social media post advocating for Trump’s impeachment and replacement by Vice President J.D. Vance, and insinuated the Epstein files have not been released in full because they contain incriminating information about the President.
“As for reports that there is going to be a Trump/Musk call scheduled for today, Trump told me he is ‘not particularly’ interested in talking to Musk, although he says Musk wants to talk to him,” Karl reported following his conversation with Trump.
Reports from POLITICO and Reuters on Thursday indicated that a meeting or phone call between Trump and Musk was planned for Friday, possibly aimed at easing tensions. Karl’s reporting suggests this is unlikely.
Previously, President Trump suggested that Musk was against the “big beautiful bill” because it cuts government support for electric vehicles, which Musk’s Tesla company manufactures. Musk responded by claiming he won the election for Trump and the GOP in November, excoriating the America First leader for his “ingratitude.”
