Neoconservative Bill Kristol’s Republican Accountability Project has launched a six-figure ad campaign against former President Donald Trump with a 60-second ad spot running on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News in the Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Atlanta media markets. The ‘NeverTrump’ group has also purchased a ‘virtual’ billboard in New York City’s Times Square featuring the former President’s mugshot and a list of the charges filed against him in the four separate federal and state prosecutions.
Gunner Ramer, political director of Republican Accountability Project said the purpose of the ad campaign was to “…[remind] the American people that no one in this country is above the law—not even a former president.”

The 60-second ad spot features a voice-over stating: “When Donald Trump was president, he thought it didn’t matter how many laws and norms he broke … Many of us even started saying ‘nothing matters’ … But in America the rule of law still matters. And that’s why Donald Trump has been charged with 91 felonies in four separate cases … This is America, and no one is above the law.”
The anti-Trump ad campaign is just the latest political stunt by Kristol and his associate Sarah Longwell.
The National Pulse previously reported that the two have also launched an advocacy group to push for further U.S. involvement in support of Ukraine in their war with Russia. The organization, Republicans for Ukraine, will use an initial $2 million budget to target Republican voters and lawmakers with a pro-war message in an attempt to revive flagging Republican support for additional military aid for the Eastern European nation.

❓What Happened: Jaguar reported selling just 49 total vehicles in Europe in the month of April, a record low. Some see the sales collapse as a consumer rejection of the company’s rebrand.
👥 Who’s Involved: Jaguar Land Rover, Jaguar, and European Union (EU) and United Kingdom consumers.

📍 Where & When: The EU and the United Kingdom in April 2025.
⚠️ Impact: While it appears the low sales numbers are likely the result of Jaguar drawing down its entire vehicle inventory before it rolls out its new line of cars next year, the shockingly low number of cars sold could portend long-term consumer rejection of the company over its new all-electric, woke brand.
IN FULL:
Jaguar sales in Europe have seen one of the most catastrophic April sales numbers on record. Just 49 cars were sold in the entirety of the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, the latter being the company’s home market. This marks a nearly 98 percent decline from the company’s sales in April just one year ago, and a continued slide in popularity since Jaguar rolled out a rebrand that ditches the iconic “leaper” logo, uses a lower-case monogram, and focuses on electric vehicles. The rebrand has received stiff backlash, with automobile enthusiasts accusing Jaguar of becoming more of a fashion or luxury brand rather than a car company after its widely-panned inaugural commercial, which featured a series of bizarrely dressed, androgynous models and zero cars.
While the shockingly low sales numbers could portend long-term problems for Jaguar, some details suggest the concerns about the rebrand and the company’s sales position are overblown. The 49 total cars sold in April appear to be the result of Jaguar merely liquidating its remaining inventory before its redesigned vehicles, as part of its rebrand, begin production later this year and hit dealership showrooms in 2026. In essence, this means that consumers didn’t simply buy fewer Jaguar cars, but rather that there were far fewer Jaguar cars even available than in April 2024.
Jaguar’s parent company, Jaguar Land Rover, posted $3.39 billion in profits for the fiscal year 2025. The high profit margin of the company’s popular Land Rover brand gives it the cash stability to draw down its Jaguar inventory ahead of officially shifting to its rebranded vehicle line.
Still, it is inconceivable that Jaguar would have let its inventory become so low that it only had several dozen models available for sale before it rolls its new line of vehicles. This suggests that the company’s rebrand is likely having an adverse effect on sales, though to what degree remains to be seen.
Jaguar is set to reveal its first rebranded vehicle, an all-electric four-door GT, at the end of this year. It will hit showrooms in 2026.

💬Key Quote: “It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace,” Trump stated.
⚠️ Impact: Trump’s engagement with Putin signals his America First approach to global conflicts, addressing Ukraine and Iran while prioritizing U.S. security interests against nuclear proliferation.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump has confirmed he has spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin following a series of high-profile attacks in Russia and Russian-annexed Crimea in recent days, and that, based on their conversation, he does not see peace in Ukraine as imminent.
“I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes,” President Trump announced Wednesday.
“We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace,” Trump cautioned, adding: “President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”
A recent Ukrainian raid on Russian Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft and strategic bombers may have resulted in significant damage to the air portion of Russia’s air, sea, and land-based triad of nuclear weaponry. However, there are conflicting reports as to how much of the Russian air fleet was destroyed. Technically speaking, Russian military doctrine regards attempts to destroy its nuclear armaments as grounds for a nuclear first response, although this would be an extreme reaction.
“We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly!” Trump continued. “I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement.”
“President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!”

💬 Key Quote: “There should be no reward for knowingly lying in journalism. In fact, quite the opposite. There should be harsh and punitive measures to discourage activists masquerading as reporters and leading the public astray, especially at their financial cost.” — The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, after Cadwalladr lost a defamation case over her Brexit allegations in 2023.
⚠️ Impact: Stewart’s uncritical platforming of Cadwalladr amplifies her discredited narrative, undermining tech reforms while glossing over her established history of peddling anti-Brexit misinformation.
IN FULL:
On June 3, 2025, Jon Stewart hosted British journalist Carole Cadwalladr on The Daily Show, giving her a platform to warn of a “techno-authoritarian surveillance state” driven by tech firms. Stewart helped Cadwalladr promote her Substack, “How to Survive the Broligarchy,” and her nonprofit, The Citizens—but failed to address Cadwalladr’s history of discredited anti-Brexit conspiracy theories.
Stewart briefly referenced a defamation lawsuit brought against Cadwalladr by Arron Banks, an ally of Nigel Farage and key organizer and donor for the Leave.EU campaign during the 2016 Brexit referendum, over a 2019 TED Talk, and a social media post implying ties to Russia.
“They really tried to destroy you,” Stewart said of the case—failing to mention the courts ruled comprehensively in Banks’s favor. Cadwalladr had falsely alleged Kremlin involvement in and even illicit Russian funding of Banks’s Leave.EU campaign, swaying the Brexit vote through dark money. As with similar Russia-based conspiracies levelled against President Donald J. Trump, Cadwalladr earned journalistic accolades such as the Specialist Journalist of the Year 2017 award and an Orwell Prize for Political Journalism, lending credence to her outlandish reporting, only for it to crumble under legal scrutiny.
Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) found no evidence of Russian money or collusion. In 2022, the High Court ruled her false statements caused “serious harm” to Banks’s reputation, ordering her to pay £1.24 million (~$1.7m) in costs and £35,000 (~$47,500) in damages.
“There should be no reward for knowingly lying in journalism. In fact, quite the opposite. There should be harsh and punitive measures to discourage activists masquerading as reporters and leading the public astray, especially at their financial cost,” commented Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, following the ruling.
During the Stewart interview, Cadwalladr shifted focus to modern data practices, criticizing the lack of artificial intelligence (AI) regulation in the U.S., noting a proposed ten-year ban on state-level regulation of the technology in the “one big beautiful bill.” However, the purpose of this provision is not to prevent AI regulation, but to prevent far-left California, where many tech firms are based, from having de facto control over AI regulation nationwide and even worldwide.

📍 Where & When: San Antonio, Texas, during the mayoral race leading up to the June 7, 2025, election.
💬 Key Quote: “Gina Jones was Gina Jones until she wasn’t,” said Rolando Pablos in a campaign ad.
⚠️ Impact: The controversy has intensified the race, with Republicans alleging pandering and Democrats calling the criticisms racist.
IN FULL:
San Antonio’s mayoral race has taken a contentious turn as Reupublican candidate Rolando Pablos is accusing his Democratic rival, Gina Jones, of using her mother’s maiden name, Ortiz, to appeal to the city’s Hispanic voters. Jones, who is of Filipino descent, began using the name in 2017 during her first congressional campaign, a move seen by many as politically motivated and an inappropriate attempt to appeal to racial affinity with a key voting demographic.
Pablos, born in Mexico and a former Texas Secretary of State, is currently airing a campaign ad ahead of the June 7 mayoral election, stating, “Gina Jones was Gina Jones until she wasn’t,” accusing Jones of adopting the Ortiz name strategically to garner Hispanic support. San Antonio, the seventh-largest city in the U.S., is home to nearly one million Hispanic residents, making the demographic a significant voting bloc.
Jones’s campaign has pushed back, asserting that “Ortiz” is her legal middle name and reflects her heritage. Campaign consultant Mary Kate Hull explained, “It’s tradition for Filipino children to take their mother’s maiden name as their middle name.” Hull also noted that Ortiz Jones has embraced her heritage more as an adult.
Despite the Jones campaign’s claims, her high school yearbook lists her name as Gina Maria Jones, as does the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, where she served as a national security fellow from 2016 to 2017. Pablos’ campaign says Jones is just pandering, stating, “At home in Washington, D.C., she goes by Gina Jones. While pandering for votes in Texas, she’s Gina Ortiz Jones.”
Notably, Jones herself claims the allegations that she changed her middle name to Ortiz to appeal to Hispanic voters are motivated by racism. “Do you not think it’s racist?” she has said in response to the Pablos campaign’s claims. Jordan Abelson, Jones’ campaign manager, goes further, arguing: “Antagonizing someone on their race is the definition of racism.”
Jones has twice run unsuccessfully for Congress, losing races to Will Hurd in 2018 and Tony Gonzales in 2020.

💬 Key Quote: “We have to have Greenland,” President Trump stated during Vice President Vance’s visit to the island earlier this year.
⚠️ Impact: The move underscores Greenland’s strategic importance to U.S. national security and ambition to bring it under U.S. control.
IN FULL:
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to reassign Greenland from the U.S. European Command to the U.S. Northern Command, a move seen as emphasizing both its role in homeland defense and President Donald J. Trump’s ambition to acquire it. The U.S. Northern Command oversees defense operations for the continental United States, Alaska, and neighboring nations such as Canada and Mexico.
U.S. officials say the change reflects a strategic shift in viewing Greenland as critical to American security. Acquiring Greenland, currently under the Kingdom of Denmark, has been a focal point for the Trump administration.
During a March visit to Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base, Vice President J.D. Vance criticized Denmark for inadequate investment in the island’s infrastructure and security. The base, equipped with missile detection systems, is considered vital to U.S. defense interests.
President Donald J. Trump has maintained his interest in acquiring Greenland due to its value for national security and its rare earth mineral resources. During Vance’s March visit, Trump remarked, “We have to have Greenland.” In a speech to Congress, Trump pledged significant development opportunities for Greenland, stating, “We will make you rich, and together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before.”
Greenland lies at the entrance to the Northwest Passage, which passes through the northern islands of Canada. It could become a majorstrategic searoute if temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere.
❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, blasted the former Biden government’s open borders policies for jeopardizing U.S. national security by allowing dangerous illegal immigrants into the country.

💬 Key Quote: “What concerned me the most was they created the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen,” said Homan, referring to the Biden government’s lack of border security enforcement.
⚠️ Impact: Homan warned of ongoing threats for the next decade due to Biden-era border policies, including terrorism risks and other criminal activities.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump‘s border czar, Tom Homan, has warned that the former Biden government’s open borders policies have created a significant national security threat, citing the recent anti-Semitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. Speaking with Sean Hannity following the Boulder attack, Homan expressed concerns over the danger posed by “two million known gotaways” who crossed the U.S. border under Biden, warning, “We don’t know who they are, where they came from, or where they are.”
Homan pointed to the attack in Boulder, where Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national and illegal immigrant who overstayed his tourist visa and was subsequently given a work permit by the Biden government, injured multiple people at a pro-Israel event using Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower. Soliman, who reportedly shouted “Free Palestine” during the attack, had planned a mass shooting but was unable to acquire a firearm. Two individuals were hospitalized with severe burns.
Homan criticized Biden and the Democratic Party for allowing unvetted migrants into the country and granting them work permits, claiming such policies enable bad actors to “sit here and plan something bad.” He warned that the U.S. would face the consequences of these decisions for the next decade.
The former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief also took aim at congressional Democrats for protesting at detention centers, mentioning an incident involving Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), who was charged with assaulting law enforcement at a New Jersey facility. Homan described these actions as part of a broader attack on ICE and the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Homan emphasized the broader implications of Biden’s failed border policies and the monumental task of undoing the damage, pointing to issues such as sex trafficking, fentanyl smuggling, and terrorism. “This is the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen,” he warned.

📍 Where & When: The renaming order was issued at the start of Pride Month in June of 2025, affecting a ship named in 2016 during a San Francisco ceremony.
⚠️ Impact: The decision has sparked criticism from Democratic leaders, but draws attention to Milk’s controversial relationship with underage boy JackGalenMcKinley.
IN FULL:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed the U.S. Navy to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a ship named in honor of the late gay rights activist and politician. The order, issued at the start of Pride Month, was revealed through a memorandum issued by the Department of Defense (DoD).
The USNS Harvey Milk was named in 2016 during a ceremony in San Francisco. Milk, a Navy veteran, became the first openly gay elected official in California in 1977, serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors before being assassinated in 1978. However, Milk also had a sexual relationship with an underage runaway, Jack Galen McKinley, while he was in his thirties, which has led many conservatives to challenge the status he has been awarded as a civil rights hero.
This renaming initiative is reportedly part of Hegseth’s broader efforts to “reestablish the warrior culture” within the military. Since assuming his role, Hegseth has worked to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, aiming to restore what he refers to as the “warrior ethos.”
In addition to the USNS Harvey Milk, other ships on a Navy renaming recommendation list include the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez, and USNS Medgar Evers.
The decision has drawn sharp criticism from Democratic leaders. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) condemned the move, stating, “The reported decision by the Trump Administration to change the names of the USNS Harvey Milk and other ships in the John Lewis-class is a shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also expressed outrage, calling the renaming “disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot.” He added that Milk “served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights.”
Schumer did not reference Milk’s unlawful relations with McKinley.

💬 Key Quote: A British government spokesman stated it remains “committed to protecting British business and jobs across key sectors, including steel as part of our plan for change.”
⚠️ Impact: British exporters avoid the immediate tariff hike, showcasing a benefit of Britain leaving the European Union (EU) and regaining control over its international trade policy. However, it faces potential increases if the terms of the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal are not met by July 9.
IN FULL:
The United Kingdom has avoided a tariff increase under a new executive order signed by U.S. President Donald J. Trump that doubles steel and aluminum import taxes for many countries. While the order raises tariffs on these materials from 25 percent to 50 percent for most nations, Britain, which regained control over international trade policy on exiting the European Union (EU), will maintain a lower rate—at least for now.
The exemption hinges on compliance with the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD), agreed between the Trump administration and the British government on May 8. According to the order, if the United Kingdom fails to meet the terms of the EPD by July 9, the tariff rate could rise to 50 percent.
The executive order, signed on Tuesday evening, aims to increase costs for U.S. firms importing steel and aluminum from abroad, bolstering the American steel industry.
The exemption for Britain provides relief for British exporters, who would otherwise face significant financial strain under the heightened tariffs.

💬 Key Quote: “There are no plans for a proclamation for the month of June,” said Leavitt, adding Trump is “proud to be a President for all Americans regardless of race, religion, or creed.”
⚠️ Impact: The Trump administration is shifting focus away from LGBT-centric policies to initiatives such as recognizing Title IX’s anniversary and addressing gender ideology in federal policy.
IN FULL:
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Tuesday that President Donald J. Trump’s administration has no plans to issue a “Pride Month” proclamation this June, marking a significant departure from his predecessor’s approach to LGBT-related celebrations.
“There are no plans for a proclamation for the month of June,” Leavitt stated during a press briefing, emphasizing that President Trump is “proud to be a president for all Americans regardless of race, religion, or creed.”
The announcement coincides with the Department of Education’s decision to designate June as “Title IX Month,” commemorating the 53rd anniversary of the landmark legislation prohibiting sex-based education discrimination.
This approach contrasts sharply with the policies of former President Joe Biden, who issued annual “Pride Month” proclamations and hosted high-profile LGBT events at the White House. Notably, a 2023 Pride event under Biden drew criticism after transgender activist Rose Montoya, a man claiming to be a woman, appeared topless in a video on the White House lawn. Biden also signed an executive order in 2022 to expand access to gender-transition procedures for adults and minors.
Since taking office, Trump has focused on rolling back “radical” gender ideology. In an executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” the White House stated that erasing sex in language and policy undermines trust in government and societal stability.
The Trump administration has prioritized protecting children from irreversible gender procedures and ensuring fairness in women’s sports by barring biological males from competing. This marks a sharp pivot from the policies of the previous administration, reinforcing Trump’s commitment to “biological truth.”

💬 Key Quote: “Chromosome analysis reveals a Male karyotype. No numerical or chromosomal anomalies detected at 450-550 banding resolution,” according to a report attributed to Dr. Lal PathLabs.
⚠️ Impact: Khelif’s eligibility as a female athlete is in question, with new gender testing rules potentially barring participation in future competitions.
IN FULL:
Leaked medical records reportedly reveal that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, whoclaimed Olympic gold in women’s boxing at the 2024 Paris Games, has a male karyotype, suggesting potential ineligibility under new gender testing rules for the 2028 Olympics. Khelif’s dominating performance in the Paris Olympics reignited controversy surrounding the athlete’s eligibility, after the International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Khelif from competing as a female in 2022 and 2023 due to gender test concerns. Despite the IBA’s ban, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed Khelif to compete in Paris as a woman.
Now, the allegedly female boxer’s gender issue has resurfaced following the World Boxing Association’s (WBA) announcement of updated gender testing requirements for Olympic fighters. Reports suggest that Khelif’s medical tests, conducted by Dr. Lal PathLabs in New Delhi, indicated a male karyotype and testosterone levels consistent with typical male ranges. The records also reportedly show the presence of internal testes and an absence of female reproductive organs.
Algerian sports officials have dismissed the findings, insisting Khelif qualifies as a woman due to “medical reasons.” Khelif, who has identified as female since birth, was reportedly placed on testosterone suppression therapy in 2023.
Medical experts note that conditions such as Swyer syndrome, Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, or 5-alpha reductase deficiency could explain Khelif’s situation. The latter condition, found only in males, can result in ambiguous genitalia at birth and the development of male characteristics during puberty.
Notably, the leaked 2023 test results appear to confirm a separate reported test conducted by endocrinologists Soumaya Fedala and Jacques Young, which surfaced online in late 2024 following the Paris Olympics. The 2024 test leak also found that Khelif had no uterus and instead possessed internal testes, while diagnosing the boxer with 5-alpha reductase deficiency.
