Appeals Court Upholds Trump Gag Order

    On Friday, an appeals court largely upheld a gag order limiting former President Donald Trump’s statements in his federal election interference case.

    The ruling from a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals largely affirms a prior ruling from Judgeย Tanya Chutkan. The initial order barred Trump from making statements that โ€œtargetโ€ foreseeable witnesses, court staff, and prosecutors.

    The Hill has more:

    The appeals court refined that directive, barring Trump from any statements โ€œmade with the intent to materially interfere with, or to cause others to materially interfere withโ€ the course of the case.

    But it removed Smith from the list of protected court staff, giving Trump free reign to go after a prosecutor he is fond of taunting as โ€œderanged.โ€ 

    โ€œWe agree with the district court that some aspects of Mr. Trumpโ€™s public statements pose a significant and imminent threat to the fair and orderly adjudication of the ongoing criminal proceeding, warranting a speech-constraining protective order. The district courtโ€™s order, however, sweeps in more protected speech than is necessary,โ€ the panel wrote.

    CNN Dumps Trump Transcript Over Classified Docs

    Things are not looking good for Donald Trump.

    Hours after Trump was reportedly indicted by a Florida grand jury in the classified documents case CNN’s Paula Reid shared a transcript of the tape in which Trump discusses not being able to share secret information.

    Reid andย Kaitlan Collinsย broke the newsย last week that Trump was caught on tape discussing an allegedly classified document that he had taken with him when he left the White House. During the tape, Trump reportedly acknowledged he canโ€™t show the document, which outlines a plan to attack Iran, to his visitors because of the classification attached to it.

    Read the transcript below:

    โ€œSecret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,โ€ Trump says at one point, according to the transcript. โ€œThis was done by the military and given to me.โ€

    Trump was complaining in the meeting about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley. The meeting occurred shortly after The New Yorker published a story by Susan Glasser detailing how, in the final days of Trumpโ€™s presidency, Milley instructed the Joint Chiefs to ensure Trump issued no illegal orders and that he be informed if there was any concern.

    โ€œWell, with Milley โ€“ uh, let me see that, Iโ€™ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isnโ€™t that amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him,โ€ Trump says, according to the transcript. โ€œThey presented me this โ€“ this is off the record, but โ€“ they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. We looked at some. This was him. This wasnโ€™t done by me, this was him.โ€

    Trump continues: โ€œAll sorts of stuff โ€“ pages long, look. Wait a minute, letโ€™s see here. I just found, isnโ€™t that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is like, highly confidential. Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.โ€

    During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital Thursday night, Trump said the case is “election interference” and “the greatest witch hunt of all time.” Trump said he will “of course” plead not guilty to charges in federal court on Tuesday, and said he is “totally innocent.”

    “This is the most corrupt administration in historyโ€”there has never been an administration so corrupt, and theyโ€™re just starting to find it right now,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “They are trying to deflect all of their dishonesty by bringing this ridiculous boxes hoax case.”

    He added: “Theyโ€™re not going to get away with it.”

    “I did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said, citing the Presidential Records Act, saying it “makes me totally innocent.”

    Poll: Americans Oppose US Involvement In Iran, Believe US Should Stay Out Of Other Countriesโ€™ Business

    3

    A new poll finds overwhelming majorities of Americans oppose the U.S. governmentโ€™s military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and believe the federal government should stay out of other countriesโ€™ disputes.

    Reuters/Ipsos reports their new poll finds โ€œmost Americans support immediately ending U.S. involvement in the conflict with Iran. The poll also finds that Americans oppose U.S. military involvement in the Middle East unless the U.S. is directly threatened and that most Americans do not feel that U.S. airstrikes against Iran make America safer.โ€

    Only 36 percent of Americans support the strikes, with 45 percent opposing.  

    A whopping 69 percent of Americans, including 57 percent of Republicans, oppose โ€œany military action in the Middle East unless America is directly threatenedโ€.

    58 percent of Americans say โ€œit is better for the nation if the U.S. stays out of the affairs of other nationsโ€

    Republicans generally opposed U.S. strikes on Iran when Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden were president, warning it would lead to โ€œWorld War 3.โ€  They now report supporting the policy under Republican President Donald Trump.

    Reuters summarized the findings, noting:

    * Seven in ten say they have been following the U.S. airstrikes against Iran (70%) or the war between Israel and Iran (67%) very or somewhat closely. Republicans are slightly more likely to say they are following the U.S. airstrikes very closely (39%) compared to Democrats (32%), independents (31%), and the general population (33%).

    * Four in five Americans say they are concerned with the conflict growing between the U.S. and Iran (84%) and U.S. military personnel stationed in the Middle East (79%). In comparison, similar numbers of Americans are concerned about rising inflation (81%) and growing U.S. debt (78%).

    * Republicans (69% support, 17% oppose) are significantly more likely to support the strikes compared to Democrats (13% support, 74% oppose) and independents (29% support, 48% oppose).

    * Just over one in three Americans (36%) say they agree that U.S. airstrikes against Iran make America safer, while 60% disagree and 4% refused or skipped. This is heavily divided along partisan lines, with 12% of Democrats, 29% of independents, and 67% of Republicans agreeing with this statement.

    * Most Americans say the U.S. should not become involved in any military action in the Middle East unless America is directly threatened (69%). Majorities across partisanship feel this way, with 57% of Republicans, 73% of independents, and 80% of Democrats agreeing with this statement. 

    โ€œThis Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted June 21-23, 2025. The poll began fielding immediately after the June 21 U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. The poll closed before the June 23 Iranian strikes on a U.S. military base in Qatar, which has reportedly caused no fatalities,โ€ Reuters notes.

    Cuban Regime Finally Loses a Longtime Fugitive: Joanne โ€œAssataโ€ Shakur Dies in Havana

    3

    Havana, Cuba โ€” On September 25, 2025, Cubaโ€™s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Joanne Deborah Byron โ€” better known by her aliases Joanne Chesimard and Assata Shakur โ€” died in Havana at the age of 78 due to health complications and the rigors of old age.

    This news brings to a close a decades-long saga in which a convicted murderer escaped justice, was shielded by a hostile foreign regime, and became a symbol for radical causes.


    A Fugitiveโ€™s Origin: From Violent Crime to Escape to Cuba

    In 1977, Chesimard was convicted on multiple serious charges including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and other felonies after a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that left State Trooper Werner Foerster dead.

    She escaped prison in 1979, spent years underground, and resurfaced in 1984 under asylum in Cuba โ€” a regime that refused U.S. extradition requests.

    For decades, the United States and New Jersey authorities pushed Cuba to hand her over. She carried the dubious distinction of being the first woman ever placed on the FBIโ€™s Most Wanted Terrorists list, with a $1 million reward for her capture.


    A Death Without Accountability

    Her passing in Havana presents a bitter irony: after decades of immunity facilitated by a foreign government, she dies free โ€” far from the prison cell where she was supposed to serve life in the U.S.

    New Jersey officials immediately expressed outrage. They reiterated that justice was never fully served for Trooper Foersterโ€™s family.

    Cubaโ€™s complicity in harboring Chesimard has long been roundly condemned by American leaders. Senator Marco Rubio recently denounced Havana for providing โ€œa safe haven for terrorists and criminals, including fugitives from the United States.โ€

    What She Represented โ€” and What the U.S. Must Learn

    For defenders of law and order, her story is a cautionary tale of diplomatic failure and ideological double standards.

    • Rule of Law Must Be Absolute: A convicted cop killer escaping and living with impunity is a stain on the integrity of the justice system.
    • Foreign Regimes Should Not Shield Criminals: Cubaโ€™s refusal to extradite Chesimard fashioned her into a political symbol, rather than merely a criminal. That sets a dangerous precedent.
    • Consistency in Foreign Policy Matters: If the U.S. does not forcefully demand accountability from regimes that shelter fugitives, it weakens its moral and strategic footing.

    Now that she has died abroad, the question of bringing her remains home may arise. But more importantly, the memory of Trooper Foerster โ€” his sacrifice and service โ€” must remain central. And the mission remains: to hold foreign governments accountable when they interfere with American justice.

      Fox News has tapped Jesse Watters to fill the larger-than-life hole left by Tucker Carlson.

      Fox News Channel will debut a new primetime lineup on July 17, FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott announced on Monday. 

      “FOX News Channel has been Americaโ€™s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup. The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come,” Scott announced. 

      “Jesse Watters Primetime” launched last year and has since emerged as the fastest growing cable news program. Watters will continue to co-host “The Five,” which has been the most-watched cable news program for seven-straight quarters. 

      The new lineup is a reshuffling of the current evening schedule: Jesse Watters will be taking the 8 p.m. hour, directly replacing Carlson. Laura Ingraham will move from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m., Sean Hannity will stay at 9 p.m. and Greg Gutfeld will move to 10 p.m.

      Trace Gallagher, a news anchor at the network, will move up to 11 p.m.

      Mexico’s President Speaks Out Over Trump’s Border Wall Plans

      Mexican President Andrรฉs Manuel Lรณpez Obrador thinks Trump is all talk…

      During a recent interview,  President Obrador expressed doubts President Trump would follow through on his pledge to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border because of the two countriesโ€™ economic ties.

      โ€œBecause we understood each other very well. We signed an economic, a commercial agreement that has been favorable for both peoples, for both nations. He knows it. And President Biden, the same,โ€ he said in an interview released Sunday by CBS Newsโ€™s โ€œ60 Minutes.โ€

      When CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi asked Lรณpez Obrador to respond to those who argue the wall โ€œworks,โ€ he said a wall โ€œdoesnโ€™t work,โ€ adding he told then-President Trump the same during a phone call.

      Lรณpez Obrador said the two leaders agreed not to talk about the wall as they โ€œwere not going to agreeโ€ and the phone call was the only instance the two discussed it.

      โ€œThat was the only time and I told him, โ€˜I am going to send you, Mr. President, some videos of tunnels from Tijuana up to San Diego, that passed right under U.S. Customs.โ€™ He stayed quiet, and then he started laughing and told me, โ€˜I canโ€™t win with you,’โ€ Lรณpez Obrador recalled.

      The Hill has more:

      In 2020, Lรณpez Obrador โ€” Mexicoโ€™s first leftist president in decades โ€” said while he does not agree with Trumpโ€™s assertion the wall staved off COVID-19 transmission, he also would not publicly confront him over the claim.

      Lรณpez Obrador, at the time, asserted the relationship between the U.S. and his country was โ€œvery goodโ€ and emphasized the two nations โ€œare not distant neighbors.โ€

      Pelosi Predicts Trump Skips Upcoming Kamala Debate

      Pelosi is peddling desperate lies…

      Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) predicted that former president Donald Trump will back out of his next debate.

      Pelosi appeared at the Texas Tribune Festival over the weekend where she spoke to journalist Kara Swisher about a variety of topics before signing copies of her latest book. Pelosi spent much of the time ripping Trump and turned up the vitriol when Tuesday’s highly anticipated ABC News Presidential Debate came up. 

      Swisher asked Pelosi what advice she would give formerย President Trumpย ahead of the matchup with Harris. The 84-year-old Pelosi quipped, “You think heโ€™s gonna show up?”

      The largely liberal audience burst into laughter, followed by applause, as Pelosi slightly smiled. 

      Swisher asked, “Do you know something I donโ€™t know?”

      “I know cowardice when I see it,” Pelosi responded. 

      Watch:

      The Trump campaign dismissed Pelosiโ€™s suggestion of the former president skipping the debate as “fake news.”

      “Nancy Pelosi has no idea what she is talking about and has been proven to be a liar and fraud. If she isn’t busy giving herself fake titles to make herself feel better, she’s peddling fake news because it’s the only thing she’s ever done,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.

      Pelosi and Trump have a long history of animosity toward each other, regularly trading barbs over the years. In 2020, Pelosi famously tore her printed copy of Trumpโ€™s State of the Union address immediately after he finished addressing a Joint Session of Congress.

      Trump and Harris are scheduled to debate on Tuesday night in Philadelphia. 

      Despite Pelosi’s best attempts to stir up trouble, the Trump campaign also released details of Trump’s scheduled arrival in the City of Brotherly Love. Air Force Trump is scheduled to land in Philadelphia at 6:30 pm on Tuesday.

      This TV Host Seeks to Represent Trump Supporters- There is One Glaring Issue

        Will Alyssah Farah Griffin become the new face of Trump supporters? That’s her new goal…

        The incoming conservative host for “The View” and former White House communications director who has taken a staunch stance against the former president says she wants to “represent” his millions of supporters.

        On Monday, Griffin joined “Good Morning America” to discuss her being named to the panel and the impact she hopes to have.

        According to The Daily Wire:

        โ€œIโ€™m a millennial and I worked in the Trump administration. Iโ€™ve also since criticized the former president,โ€ Griffin explained, adding, โ€œBut I still want to be a voice for the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and kind of tell them, from my experience, hereโ€™s why I wonโ€™t support him again, but hereโ€™s what a future Republican Party can and should look like. So thatโ€™s really what Iโ€™m hoping to meet the audience with.โ€

        Griffin went on to take several potshots at the former president, saying that she certainly understood discussions could get heated among women who did not always see eye to eye. โ€œListen, by the way, I survived the Trump West Wing. I think I can survive โ€˜The View.โ€™ Weโ€™ll see. Iโ€™ll be back to let you know,โ€ she added.

        Griffin, who resigned from the Trump administration on January 6, 2021, has since been quite vocal of her opposition to Trump. โ€œAs somebody who regrettably worked for Donald Trump, I do not want to see that man ever be president again,โ€ she said.

        Griffin and Ana Navarro were both named as conservative hosts for “The View” over the summer, however, Navarro is not expected to join the panel every day.

        Former Trump Official Jumps Ship, Joins Competitors Campaign

        Vivek Ramaswamy speaking with attendees at the 2022 AmericaFest at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

        A top supporter of former President Trump in the crucial early-voting state of New Hampshire is joining rivalย Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamyโ€™sย campaign.

        According to Fox News, longtime state Rep. Fred Doucette, who served as New Hampshire co-chair ofย Trumpโ€™s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, is joining the Ramaswamy campaign as a senior strategist and co-chair in New Hampshire.

        The Granite State holds the first primary and second overall contest in the GOPโ€™s presidential nominating calendar.

        Doucette, the current deputy majority leader in the Republican-controlled state House of Representatives, said in a statement that Ramaswamy is a candidate that gives someone to vote for instead of someone to vote against, in a thinly-veiled jab at President Joe Biden.

        “Vivek is the person who will deliver the America First agenda, without the drama,” Doucette said in a statement released on Thursday by the Ramaswamy campaign.

        Doucette stressed, “I believe that President Trumpโ€™s agenda worked” and said his decision not to support the former president as he runs a third straight time for the White House was “terribly hard.”

        “I came on board in March of 2015 and we were fired up. We were energized. We were engaged. We were about getting it done,” Doucette recalled. But he described the current Trump campaign as “flat.”

        Doucette argued that Trumpโ€™s 2024 campaign “is not taking a page and looking forward” and said that impression “played into a lot of my decision-making.” He added that Trump supporters in the key primary and general election battleground state “were disappointed” in some of the decisions made by the Trump campaign.

        “Fred gets things done. He has a proven track record of leadership, delivering results and winning,” Ramaswamy said in a statement.ย “Weโ€™re taking America First to the next level, and I am confident Fred will be a key asset in our mission in the crucible of New Hampshire politics. Weโ€™re ready to roll and revive the American experiment, starting with the Granite state.”

        Ramaswamy has hit the ground running since announcing his presidential campaign in February, traveling to New Hampshire and Iowa numerous times.
