Cornyn Polling TANKS Despite MILLIONS Spent in Texas GOP Primary.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Senator John Cornyn’s (R-TX) standing with Texas GOP primary voters has deteriorated, with his image now 16 points underwater.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), Representative Wesley Hunt (R-TX), Texas Republican primary voters.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Late November, Texas GOP primary race.

💬KEY QUOTE: “John Cornyn’s support is collapsing: as voters become aware of his negatives, his costly attempts at rebranding quickly unravel. The more voters see of him, the worse he performs.” – Stratus Intelligence report

🎯IMPACT: Cornyn’s support is collapsing, with voters showing increased hostility, making him a spoiler in the race.

IN FULL

Senator John Cornyn’s (R-TX) position with Texas Republican primary voters has significantly weakened, with his favorability rating now at 35 percent compared to an unfavorable rating of 51 percent. Notably, 28 percent of voters have a “very unfavorable” view of Cornyn, whom RINO political strategist Chris LaCivita represents.

In a three-way race, Cornyn trails behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R)and Representative Wesley Hunt (R-TX), securing only 25 percent of the vote compared to Paxton’s 36 percent and Hunt’s 26 percent. Despite over $40 million spent on his campaign, Cornyn is in last place for an office he has held since 2002.

Head-to-head matchups further highlight Cornyn’s weak position, with Paxton leading Cornyn 51 percent to 34 percent, and Hunt leading 52 percent to 29 percent. Even a hypothetical endorsement from President Donald J. Trump does not significantly improve Cornyn’s standing.

Cornyn’s image has deteriorated from 44 percent favorable in early November to 35 percent now. In contrast, Wesley Hunt maintains a strong profile with a net favorability, and Ken Paxton remains the preferred choice for conservative voters.

Foreign Billionaire Who Donated to Far-Left Labour Party Now Leaves Country After Helping Wreck It.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: One of Britain’s wealthiest residents, Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, has left the United Kingdom amid tax hikes by the ruling, leftist Labour Party, which he previously donated millions of pounds to.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and the Labour Party.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Recently reported in the United Kingdom.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The issue was inheritance tax. Many wealthy people from overseas cannot understand why all of their assets, wherever they are in the world, should be subject to inheritance tax imposed by the UK Treasury.” – Tax adviser close to Mittal and his family.

🎯IMPACT: Mittal’s departure is just one of many instances of wealthy people in recent years to flee Britain.

IN FULL

Lakshmi Mittal, the Indian-born steel magnate, has left Britain amid sweeping tax hikes by the country’s ruling, leftist Labour Party, to which he had donated millions of pounds in the past. Once a fixture at the top of The Sunday Times Rich List, he is now a tax resident of Switzerland and plans to spend much of his time in Dubai. At his 2008 peak, his wealth was estimated at £27.7 billion, equivalent to approximately $34 billion. Even now, with a fortune of ~£15.4 billion (~$19 billion), he would have ranked among Britain’s richest residents.

Mittal’s exit is widely linked to the abolition of the “non-dom” tax regime, which previously allowed foreign residents to pay British tax only on income earned within the country. One adviser close to the family said, “The issue was inheritance tax. Many wealthy people from overseas cannot understand why all of their assets, wherever they are in the world, should be subject to inheritance tax imposed by the UK Treasury. People in this situation feel they have little choice but to leave and are either sad or angry to be doing so.” The UK levies up to 40 percent inheritance tax, while places like Dubai impose none, and Switzerland typically does not tax inheritances for children.

His departure comes amid a broader exodus of the wealthy from London and the wider United Kingdom. According to wealth migration data, between 2024 and 2025, London lost about 11,300 dollar-millionaires, including two billionaires, pushing it down the rankings of global wealthy hubs. Analysts cite high capital gains tax, steep inheritance levies, the declining value of the pound, and the end of non-dom status as key drivers.

Britain as a whole is projected to lose 16,500 millionaires in 2025, more than any other country tracked by migration consultants. Observers warn that this may mark a turning point: for the first time in a decade of data collection, a European country is leading in millionaire outflows. Much of this wealth is expected to flow to tax-friendly destinations such as the United Arab Emirates, which is forecast to absorb nearly 9,800 of the departing millionaires this year, potentially bringing in some $63 billion in investable assets.

War Department Investigating ‘Serious Allegations’ Against Mark Kelly, Court-Martial Possible.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Allegations of misconduct were made against Captain Mark Kelly, prompting a review by the Department of War.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.) and the U.S. Department of War.

📍WHEN & WHERE: November 25, 2025, United States.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality.” – U.S. Department of War

🎯IMPACT: Potential recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or other measures.

IN FULL

The U.S. Department of War has announced that it is investigating “serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.),” the Democrat Senator for Arizona, on X (formerly Twitter), citing the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other regulations.

The War Department warned that the investigation may include Kelly’s “recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures,” stressing “that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces.”

“All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order,” the statement adds.

Kelly was among six lawmakers who formerly served in the military or an intelligence agency to appear in a video statement addressed “directly to members of the military” last Tuesday, with the Arizona Senator telling active servicemen that they “can refuse illegal orders,” as others urged troops to “stand up for our laws [and] our Constitution.”

President Trump responded by warning that encouraging the military to disobey orders from the Commander-in-Chief was “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS,” adding: “LOCK THEM UP???”

BREAKING: Clinton Judge Blocks Indictment of Comey on Technicality.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) prosecution of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey was dismissed on Monday by senior U.S. District Court Judge Cameron McGowan Currie.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: James Comey, Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, and U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Monday, November 24, 2025, in South Carolina.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The appointment of Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney violated 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution,” Judge Currie wrote in her opinion.

🎯IMPACT: Judge Currie determined that U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is not legally allowed to prosecute the case.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) prosecution of former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey was dismissed on Monday by senior U.S. District Court Judge Cameron McGowan Currie—a Bill Clinton appointee—of the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. Comey had been arraigned on federal charges of false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding in late October. Judge Currie determined that U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is not legally allowed to prosecute the case.

“The appointment of Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney violated 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution,” Judge Currie wrote in her opinion, continuing: “All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment, including securing and signing Mr. Comey’s indictment, were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set aside. The Attorney General’s attempts to ratify Ms. Halligan’s actions were ineffective and are hereby set aside.”

“Mr. Comey’s motion to dismiss the indictment (ECF No. 60) is granted in accordance with this order. The indictment is dismissed without prejudice,” Currie concluded, adding: “The power to appoint an interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 546 during the current vacancy lies with the district court until a U.S. Attorney is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate under 28 U.S.C. § 541.”

In early November, Comey’s legal team moved to have interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan disqualified from prosecuting his case. Comey’s legal team claimed Halligan’s appointment violated legal limits on who can serve as an interim U.S. attorney. They argued that the federal statute allows for only one 120-day appointment by the attorney general, after which the position must be filled by court-directed means. The Department of Justice (DOJ), however, contends that Siebert’s resignation reset the 120-day clock, permitting Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint Halligan temporarily.

Trump Turns Attention to Renovating D.C. Area Golf Course.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump announced plans to renovate the golf courses at Joint Base Andrews, with the help of golf legend Jack Nicklaus.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Jack Nicklaus, and officials at Joint Base Andrews.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs. We’re gonna try and reinstitute the golf courses. I’m meeting with the greatest, Jack Nicklaus.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The project could restore the recreational facilities at Andrews, which have degraded over the years due to a lack of upkeep and maintenance.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump, speaking to reporters before departing the White House on Saturday, announced that legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus would assist in redesigning the golf courses at Joint Base Andrews. Trump said, “We’re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs. We’re gonna try and reinstitute the golf courses.”

Located in Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House, Joint Base Andrews is home to Air Force One and features three 18-hole golf courses, among other recreational facilities. Trump noted that at least two of the courses were in poor condition and could be restored “for very little money.” He described the base as “a great place that’s been destroyed over the years through lack of maintenance.”

Jack Nicklaus, who has designed over 425 courses globally through his Nicklaus Design firm, will lead the redesign efforts. Trump called Nicklaus “the greatest” and expressed confidence in his ability to restore the courses to their former glory.

However, the announcement has raised questions about the project’s funding, as Andrews is military property. Presumably, renovation funds would have to come from the Pentagon budget—although there could be avenues for private contributions, such as those the President is using to construct a new White House ballroom.

Trump has previously overseen several renovations, including changes to the White House grounds and a planned Paris-style arch near the Lincoln Memorial. He has also collaborated with Nicklaus on other golf courses, such as the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in New York and Trump National Jupiter in Florida.

DOGE Declared Officially Dead by Trump Admin, Achieving Only a Fraction of Claimed Cuts.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been dissolved ahead of schedule, achieving only a fraction of its original savings targets.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: DOGE, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Elon Musk, and the Trump administration.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Dissolution announced in November 2025, eight months before the end of its planned 18-month agenda.

💬KEY QUOTE: “DOGE doesn’t exist and will no longer function as a centralized entity.” – Scott Kupor, OPM Director.

🎯IMPACT: Despite reported savings of $214 billion, inflated figures and operational disruptions have left the net impact of DOGE’s efforts in question.

IN FULL

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been dissolved eight months ahead of its planned 18-month agenda. On Sunday, Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), was quoted as saying DOGE “doesn’t exist” anymore and will no longer operate as a “centralized entity.” However, Kupor subsequently clarified his remarks, emphasizing that the agency’s mission is being taken up by OPM and its efforts decentralized across the federal government.

“The truth is: DOGE may not have centralized leadership under U.S. DOGE Service. But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc,” Kupor wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “DOGE catalyzed these changes; the agencies along with U.S. Office of Personnel Management and Office of Management and Budget will institutionalize them!”

DOGE was originally established to maximize productivity, reduce wasteful spending, and eliminate fraud in federal outlays. Over its 10-month existence, the department reported terminating 13,440 contracts, 15,887 grants, and 264 leases. However, these figures were often inflated, with one notable instance involving the misrepresentation of an $8 million contract as an $8 billion contract.

Tech industry billionaire, Elon Musk—who served as the frontman for DOGE—initially predicted the department could save $2 trillion, but later revised this estimate to $1 trillion. By November 2025, DOGE claimed $214 billion in savings, equivalent to $1,329.19 per taxpayer. However, independent analyses found that DOGE had overstated its savings by as much as 97 percent in some cases. An analysis published in August could only verify $32.7 billion of the $52.8 billion in federal contracts that the Musk-led effort claims to have cut, and found that the actual government savings were closer to a comparatively paltry $1.4 billion.

The National Pulse reported in July that DOGE’s supposed drastic cuts to the federal workforce only amounted to about one percent of government employees, a far cry from what Musk had promised in October 2024. Musk left DOGE at the end of May, citing a rule limiting special government employees to 130 days of service. Earlier that month, Musk admitted that DOGE didn’t live up to his ambitions, stating, “I think we’ve been effective, not as effective as I’d like.”

Trump Wants to Reshape Hollywood By Reviving Classic ’80s and ’90s Movies.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump could soon push to reshape the entertainment industry, particularly focusing on reviving classic action and comedy films.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, Oracle CTO and executive chairman Larry Ellison, film producer Dallas Sonnier, film director Brett Ratner, and Paramount Studios.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Ongoing discussions involving Paramount Studios and its potential future projects.

💬KEY QUOTE: “A wave of classically male-driven movies with mentally tough, traditional, courageous, confident heroes. Maybe even a tad cocky, but dedicated to honor and duty.” – Dallas Sonnier

🎯IMPACT: Trump’s influence could potentially lead to a resurgence of 1980s and 1990s-style action and comedy films.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump may be looking to reshape Hollywood and the American entertainment industry at large, using his relationship with Oracle co-founder and executive chairman Larry Ellison—who owns a significant stake in Paramount Global, which is controlled by his son David Ellison—to revive classic film franchises that dominated theaters in the late 1980s into the 1990s. Ellison, who has emerged in recent months as a significant promoter of Trump’s economic agenda, is believed to be central to the President’s entertainment industry ambitions.

Notably, it has been reported that President Trump is pushing, specifically, for the revival of the Rush Hour franchise, a series of buddy-cop comedy films starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, known for their urban comedy, action, and martial arts elements. Additionally, he has shown enthusiasm for films like the 1988 Jean-Claude Van Damme sports movie Bloodsport.

Hollywood film producer Dallas Sonnier is predicting that Trump’s influence over the entertainment industry could bring about “a wave of classically male-driven movies with mentally tough, traditional, courageous, confident heroes. Maybe even a tad cocky, but dedicated to honor and duty. Plus, of course, a few explosions, gun battles, helicopters, fistfights, and car chases!”

While Trump’s influence on the entertainment industry has been limited in the past, with occasional projects like Brett Ratner’s documentary on Melania Trump, the involvement of Ellison and Paramount presents a new opportunity for a revival of the American movie industry. In May, President Trump announced he was imposing a 100 percent tariff on all film productions located outside of the United States. The influential Teamsters Union swiftly backed the move.

“The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time, adding: “WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”

Wall Street Executives Say They’re No Longer Concerned About Trump’s Tariffs.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Executives are feeling less anxious about tariffs after a year of concern, according to a survey of over 5,000 publicly traded American companies.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. companies, President Donald J. Trump, American consumers, and Parag Thatte from Deutsche Bank.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Throughout this year, as analyzed up to November 14, in earnings calls by U.S. publicly traded companies.

💬KEY QUOTE: “What they’re saying is the tariffs are manageable for them,” said Parag Thatte.

🎯IMPACT: Companies have reduced passing tariff costs to consumers, absorbing more costs themselves.

IN FULL

Executives at major American corporations are expressing increasingly lower concern over President Donald J. Trump’s tariff policy, a considerable change from earlier this year. According to a survey of over 5,000 earnings calls conducted by publicly traded American companies through November 14, executives are no longer focusing on the potential of the tariffs to generate risk for investors, and the subject of the President’s trade policy has faded to the back burner in the earnings discussions.

The main driver of the decreasing tariff anxiety in corporate America appears to be companies having paid lower import duties than the headline numbers initially indicated. U.S corporations paid an estimated 12 percent of the value of imports last month, far lower than forecasts that circulated on Wall Street earlier this year.

Notably, U.S. companies subject to President Trump’s import tariffs have only passed on around two-thirds of the cost to consumers. Previously, American corporations passed on nearly 100 percent of the tariff cost. Parag Thatte, an equity analyst at Deutsche Bank, recently stated that companies are finding the tariffs “manageable,” indicating a shift in how businesses are coping with these economic measures.

In addition, recent data also shows tariffs having no significant inflationary impact, despite what critics of President Trump’s trade policy have repeatedly claimed. The National Pulse reported earlier this month that a major study released by researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco confirms that tariffs are not inflationary and more often than not have deflationary effects that push prices downward.

Importantly, the study’s findings reveal that tariff shocks operate primarily through aggregate demand mechanisms—affecting confidence, investment, and spending patterns—rather than through the simple cost-push mechanism that trade models typically emphasize.

NYT Celebrates Life of ‘Charismatic’ Muslim Cleric and Murderer.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Black nationalist and Islamist cop-killer Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly H. Rap Brown, died in a federal prison hospital in North Carolina.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, and Kristie Breshears of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

📍WHEN & WHERE: He died on Sunday at the Federal Medical Center, Butner, North Carolina.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Violence is necessary. Violence is a part of America’s culture. It is as American as cherry pie.” – Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin

🎯IMPACT: Al-Amin’s life and actions have left a violent legacy, marked by his militancy and later life as a Muslim cleric.

IN FULL

Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, has passed away at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, at the age of 82. Kristie Breshears, the communications director for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, confirmed his death but did not specify the cause. Reports earlier this year indicated his health was declining due to multiple myeloma.

A convert to Islam, Al-Amin was serving a life sentence without parole for the murder of a sheriff’s deputy in 2000. Nevertheless, The New York Times saw fit to celebrate him as a persuasive and charismatic figure” with a “dexterous mind.”

Before his conversion to Islam, he was a prominent figure in the Black Power movement, known for his fiery rhetoric and leadership in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which he helped to rename by removing “nonviolent” from its title. His speeches were characterized by calls to arms and declarations like “Violence is necessary. Violence is a part of America’s culture. It is as American as cherry pie.” His actions contributed to the enactment of the H. Rap Brown Federal Anti-Riot Act in 1968.

After a period of hiding and a dramatic arrest in 1971, Al-Amin converted to Islam and moved to Atlanta, adopting the persona of a respected Muslim cleric and community leader. However, in 2000, he opened fire on Deputy Sheriff Richard Kinchen and his partner, Aldranon English, as they attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant for missing a court appearance related to a traffic case. He was convicted by a jury including nine black people.

Israel Says It Killed Hezbollah Founder in Latest Beirut Strike.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Israeli military launched a major missile strike on Beirut, targeting Hezbollah leadership.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Israeli military (IDF), Hezbollah, and the Lebanese government.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Sunday in Beirut, Lebanon, specifically the Haret Hreik neighborhood.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This breaches a new red line.” – Hezbollah statement

🎯IMPACT: At least five people were killed, 28 were wounded, and significant damage occurred in a densely populated area.

IN FULL

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a significant strike on Beirut, Lebanon, on Sunday, targeting senior Hezbollah leadership. Following the strike, the IDF announced that it had “eliminated” Hezbollah’s chief of staff, Haytham Ali Tabatabai, in the attack on an apartment building in the Haret Hreik neighborhood, a known Hezbollah stronghold.

Hezbollah released a statement condemning the attack, calling it a violation of agreements that “breaches a new red line.” While the group did not immediately confirm the death of Tabatabai, it stated, “We are coordinating with the Lebanese state to put an end to this Israeli violation.” Notably, Tabatabai was believed to be the current second in command of Hezbollah and played a key role in the founding of the Islamist terror group.

A total of two missiles struck the Beirut apartment building, causing extensive damage to cars and surrounding structures. At least five individuals lost their lives, while 28 others were injured. A large plume of smoke was seen rising above the area.

Western media is characterizing the strike as “a new escalation,” with the attack lacking prior warning or evacuation orders. However, the clandestine nature of the strike likely indicates the high-value nature of the target. The Israeli attack has also drawn criticism for allegedly violating international law and Security Council resolution SCR 1701.

The attack has intensified tensions in the region, with both Hezbollah and the Lebanese government condemning the actions as a breach of the ceasefire and international agreements.

Trump to Designate Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Faction.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald Trump announced plans to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announcement made Sunday morning to Just the News; actions ongoing in Texas and federal government deliberations.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms,” said President Trump.

🎯IMPACT: Moves to counter the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence globally and in the U.S. while sparking legal challenges from groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

IN FULL

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday morning that the Muslim Brotherhood will be designated as a foreign terrorist organization in the United States. Trump told Just the News that the action would be carried out “in the strongest and most powerful terms,” with final documents currently being prepared. The decision follows years of deliberation within his administration and increased scrutiny of the group’s global activities.

The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt nearly a century ago, has long been accused of radicalizing young Muslims and destabilizing the Middle East. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently took similar action, designating both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. Abbott stated, “These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”

This move aligns with efforts by Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, who have introduced legislation to officially designate the Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. Cruz noted that the Muslim Brotherhood has ties to Hamas, which recently carried out deadly attacks on Israeli civilians, and stated, “They are committed to the overthrow and destruction of America and other non-Islamist governments across the world.”

Critics, including CAIR, have pushed back against these designations, claiming defamation and accusing officials like Abbott of advancing anti-Muslim rhetoric. CAIR argued that such actions violate constitutional rights and have filed lawsuits in response. Meanwhile, criminal investigations into the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have been initiated by Texas authorities, with Abbott directing the state’s Department of Public Safety to “identify, disrupt, and eradicate terrorist organizations engaged in criminal activities.”

Supporters of the designation argue that the Muslim Brotherhood has inspired numerous terrorist organizations, including al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas. The group’s motto, which includes the phrase “Jihad is our way,” has been cited as evidence of its radical agenda. Efforts to counter the Brotherhood’s influence continue to gain traction both domestically and internationally.
