    A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump and his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated federal law when they deployed thousands of federalized California National Guard members to bolster immigration enforcement in Los Angeles earlier this summer

    Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee and brother to retired liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, said Trump violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a 150-year-old law that says the military cannot typically engage in domestic law enforcement.

    “This was intentional—Defendants instigated a months-long deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles for the purpose of establishing a military presence there and enforcing federal law. Such conduct is a serious violation of the Posse Comitatus Act,” Breyer wrote. 

    Trump federalized about 4,000 National Guard members in June to support federal authorities in California as they carried out immigration raids, despite Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s vehement objections.

    Breyer’s decision comes as most of the National Guard members have since been demobilized. Attorneys for California said during the trial, though, that 300 of them remained, which they argued was a “significant” number.

    “That’s certainly a large enough number of soldiers to constitute a Posse Comitatus Act violation,” a state attorney said.

    While the judge’s decision may have minimal impact on the ground in California, the case could still have nationwide implications as Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth deploy National Guard members in Washington, D.C., and threaten to do so in other blue cities to address street crime. The Trump administration is likely to appeal Breyer’s decision, which could result in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and even the Supreme Court weighing in on the administration’s unconventional use of the National Guard.

    Breyer paused his order until Friday, providing the administration with an avenue to appeal before it goes into effect.

    Rudy Giuliani Seriously Injured In Car Crash

    Over the weekend, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was rushed to the hospital for injuries sustained in a car crash.

    Giuliani, who previously served as President Trump’s personal attorney, was transported to a nearby trauma center, according to the statement, “where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.”

    Ragusa said Giuliani’s business partner Maria Ryan, a nurse practitioner, was contacted and arrived at the hospital shortly after the crash.

    In a statement provided to The Hill, the New Hampshire State Police confirmed they were “investigating a crash that left three people injured, including a passenger identified as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”

    “Just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, Troopers assigned to the Troop B barracks were investigating a reported domestic violence incident on Interstate 93 southbound in Manchester when a two-vehicle crash occurred across from them on the northbound side of the interstate. As a result of the collision, both vehicles went into the median and were heavily damaged,” the state police said.

    “Troopers and fire personnel, who were at the scene of the first incident, witnessed the collision and quickly crossed the interstate to render aid,” they added, saying Giuliani was a passenger in the struck vehicle.

    Shortly before the car crash, according to Ragusa’s statement, Giuliani was “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident.”

    “Mayor Giuliani immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911. He remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety,” the statement said. 

    Ragusa told the New York Post that the car crash “occurred after he re-entered his vehicle, which was then hit from behind at high speed.”

    “The mayor is in great spirits. He’s a beast. He survived 9/11,” he said.

    “He’s getting further tests and stabilization of his injuries,” Ryan told the Post.

    Shortly after releasing the official statement, Ragusa followed up on social media to attempt to nix conspiracy theories.

    He said Giuliani was in a rental car, adding, “No one knew it was him.” 

    “This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories,” Ragusa said in a subsequent post. 

    Once celebrated as “America’s Mayor” for his leadership after 9/11, Rudy Giuliani later became a prominent figure in President Trump’s challenges to the 2020 election. He pushed to investigate irregularities and raised concerns about election integrity—efforts that resonated with many conservatives who believed serious questions remained unanswered, even as courts and officials dismissed those claims.

    Since then, Giuliani has faced major legal and professional setbacks. A jury in Georgia handed down a massive $148 million judgment in favor of two election workers who accused him of defamation, a decision many on the right view as excessive and politically motivated. He was also permanently barred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., a move that critics argue reflects the increasingly partisan use of professional licensing against high-profile conservatives.

    This could be big…

    On Thursday, President Trump floated the possibility of holding a Republican National Convention ahead of the midterm elections.

    While Trump did not offer any details about where the convention would take place or what would happen there, he touted various statistics that have been beneficial for the Republican Party this year.

    The GOP is fighting to maintain control of both the House and Senate in 2026.

    “The Republican Party is doing really well. Millions of people have joined us in our quest to MAKE AMERICA, GREAT AGAIN. We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    “We have raised far more money than the Democrats, and are having a great time fixing all of the Country Destroying mistakes made by the Biden Administration, and watching the USA heal and prosper. The results are incredible, a record pace!!! In that light, I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!” he added.

    Historically, midterms have been tough elections for the party controlling the White House, typically losing roughly 25 seats in the House. Trump and the Republicans lost 41 House seats in the 2018 midterms.

    Report: John Bolton Probe Focused On Classified Emails Obtained By Foreign Spies

    The Biden administration’s Justice Department has launched an aggressive investigation into former Trump national security adviser John Bolton, accusing him of mishandling classified information. According to an explosive New York Times report, the probe escalated dramatically last week when FBI agents raided Bolton’s Bethesda, Maryland residence and his Washington, D.C. office.

    Sources told the Times that investigators claim Bolton sent emails containing “sensitive information” over an unclassified system while drafting his 2020 book, The Room Where It Happened. The emails, allegedly shared with friends and associates assisting him with the manuscript, reportedly contained material that appeared to be drawn from classified documents Bolton had seen during his time in the White House.

    Even more startling, U.S. officials say a foreign intelligence service later obtained those emails. At this point, it remains unclear which country’s spies were in possession of the material.

    A Raided Home, No Arrest

    Bolton, who has been a vocal critic of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, was at home during the FBI raid. Despite the dramatic nature of the search, he was not arrested. That fact alone has fueled speculation that the raid was more about spectacle than substance—an attempt to send a political message rather than to secure an immediate prosecution.

    A Familiar Pattern of Double Standards

    Republicans have already begun to highlight what they see as yet another glaring double standard. While the Biden DOJ aggressively pursues Bolton, questions linger about how the administration handled President Biden’s own mishandling of classified documents, discovered in multiple unsecured locations, including his Delaware garage. Unlike Bolton—or former President Trump, who continues to face relentless investigations—Biden has faced little in the way of raids or public spectacle.

    This latest move against Bolton follows a broader pattern where the DOJ appears far more eager to go after figures associated with the Trump years while showing restraint when it comes to Democrats.

    What’s Next

    At this point, Bolton has not been charged with any crime. Legal experts note that the government would face serious hurdles in proving that Bolton knowingly mishandled classified material or intended to expose it to foreign governments.

    Trump Threatens to Prosecute George Soros and His Son Over RICO Charges

    President Donald Trump took direct aim at billionaire financier George Soros and his son Alex in a fiery Truth Social post on Wednesday, accusing the pair of fueling radical left-wing unrest across the country and hinting at potential RICO charges.

    “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,” Trump wrote. “We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends.”

    Trump concluded with a warning: “Be careful, we’re watching you!”

    Who Are the Soroses?

    George Soros, a Hungarian-born billionaire, is one of the Democratic Party’s largest donors and has been financing progressive causes for decades. His global influence has been tied to left-wing prosecutors, liberal DA races, and activist organizations that critics say undermine law and order in American cities.

    In 2023, Soros handed control of his vast empire—including the Open Society Foundation—to his son, Alex Soros, who has pledged to continue funding progressive causes, often with an even more openly partisan edge. Alex has boasted of his close ties to the Biden White House and prominent Democrats.

    The Soros network has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into elections and activist groups, often tipping the balance in favor of left-leaning candidates. Many on the Right argue this influence has led to skyrocketing crime rates, attacks on free speech, and deepening divisions in American society.

    Trump’s threat comes less than a week after his FBI raided his foreign policy adviser-turned-critic John Bolton’s home and office as part of what he slammed as a politically motivated investigation.

    Bolton, who was national security adviser from 2018 to 2019, has often clashed with Trump since leaving the administration. The raid on his home marked a significant escalation in tensions between the former president and his one-time adviser.

    When asked about the raid, Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he was not informed ahead of time but expected a briefing later.

    Trump Threatens To Investigate Chris Christie

    President Trump openly confirmed he is considering launching an investigation into former ally and New Jersey governor Chris Christie.

    Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Sunday that Christie had lied about 2013 lane closures on the George Washington Bridge “in order to stay out of prison, at the same time sacrificing people who worked for him.” The president was referring to a decision by Christie’s associates to close access lanes to the bridge, which links New Jersey and Manhattan, in order to punish the Democratic mayor of a New Jersey town.

    “Chris refused to take responsibility for these criminal acts,” Trump wrote. “For the sake of JUSTICE, perhaps we should start looking at that very serious situation again? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!”

    The 2013 “Bridgegate” closures created days of traffic jams, and the scandal tarnished Christie’s reputation and helped to destroy his 2016 presidential candidacy. Christie has long denied any knowledge of the plan. He could not immediately be reached for comment.

    It was not immediately clear what aspect of Christie’s Sunday appearance on ABC’s “This Week” had led President Trump to threaten him on social media.

    Christie mentioned the president by name after he was asked by the journalist Jonathan Karl whether Vice President JD Vance, who has defended the criminal investigation into Mr. Bolton, is playing a role in it.

    Christie responded by mentioning what he called the administration’s disregard for the idea of separation between the president and criminal investigations. He noted that Mr. Trump had recently described himself as the nation’s “chief law enforcement officer.”

    “Donald Trump sees himself as the person who gets to decide everything, and he doesn’t care about any separation,” Christie told Karl. “In fact, he absolutely rejects the idea that there should be separation between criminal investigations and the politically elected leader of the United States. This is much different than it’s ever been run before.”

    Watch:

    Then on Monday, he doubled down after being asked if he plans “to investigate Chris Christie.”

    “Look, Chris is a slob, everybody knows it. I know Chris better than anybody in the room. I always felt he was guilty. But what he did is he took the George Washington Bridge, which is very serious, he closed down the George Washington Bridge,” answered Trump. “And you had medical people, You had ambulances caught up. You know, this thing was closed down. And obviously he knew about it. But he blamed the young lady that worked for him, and another person, and they got into a lot of trouble. She ultimately was, I don’t know, exonerated, but she got out of it a little bit. But she went through hell. She was a young mother, nice person, I knew her a little bit. And another man went to jail. And Chris got off.”

    “And so when I listen to Chris speak his hate, I say, ‘Oh, what about the George Washington Bridge?’ You know? ‘Tell me about the George Washington Bridge.’ He blamed other people, but he knew all about it. So, no, I don’t know. If they want to look at it — not for me. — if they want look at it, they can. You could ask Pam [Bondi]. I think we have other things to do, but I always thought he got away with murder,” he concluded.

    Several members of Christie’s administration were ultimately convicted for their role in helping shut down multiple lanes of the George Washington Bridge back in 2013, though those convictions were later thrown out by the Supreme Court.

    Governor Signals Plan To Redistrict Lone GOP Rep Out Of His Seat To Make State ‘More Fair’

    Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) might be the latest state leader to dive into the ongoing redistricting chaos across the country.

    Governor Wes Moore appeared on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” on Sunday and said that, in the interests of “fairness,” he is considering gerrymandering the lone Republican in his state’s congressional delegation out of a U.S. House seat.

    Republican Rep. Andy Harris in Maryland’s First Congressional District. 

    “I want to make sure that we have fair lines and fair seats,” said Moore. 

    Harris is the only Republican of Maryland’s ten members of Congress. The Daily Wire reported in 2024, President Donald Trump received over a third of Maryland’s vote. He lost the state to former Vice President Kamala Harris, who won 63% of the state’s vote.

    Moore said his plan to potentially gerrymander Harris out of the first district is about fighting against “situations where politicians are choosing voters.”

    “We need to be able to have fair maps, and we also need to make sure that if the president of the United States is putting his finger on the scale to try to manipulate elections because he knows that his policies cannot win in a ballot box, then it behooves each and every one of us to be able to keep all options on the table to ensure that the voters’ voices can actually be heard,” Moore said.

    Watch:

    Last week, the Texas state legislature passed a new congressional map that favors Republicans winning an extra five seats in the U.S. House in the upcoming midterm elections.

    The GOP push to redistrict in favor of Republicans has sparked a backlash from Democratic state officials who want to lean further into gerrymandering. California Governor Gavin Newsom has put forward a plan to draw a new map that could claw Democrats another five seats in California’s already overbalanced congressional delegation.

    However, in order for Newsom’s plan to succeed, California voters must approve the new map since redistricting congressional seats in the state is controlled by an independent commission under a 2010 law. 

    California Republicans filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to stop the Democrat-dominated state legislature from holding a vote by the end of this week to advance the redistricting push.

    “Today I joined my colleagues in filing a lawsuit challenging the rushed redistricting process. California’s Constitution requires bills to be in print for 30 days, but that safeguard was ignored. By bypassing this provision, Sacramento has effectively shut voters out of engaging in their own legislative process,” Assembly member Tri Ta said on X.

    The petition cites a section of the state constitution that requires a monthlong review period for new legislation.

    Trump Calls On Fed Governor To Resign

    President Trump called Wednesday for the resignation of Federal Reserve board of governors member Lisa Cook following allegations by the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) that she committed mortgage fraud.

    FHFA Director William Pulte wrote Wednesday morning on X that Cook had designated two of her houses as her primary residences.

    “Lisa D. Cook, committed mortgage fraud by designating her out-of-state condo as her primary residence, just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home where she also declared it as her primary residence,” he said.

    Trump called for Cook to step down shortly thereafter.

    “Cook must resign, now!!!” he wrote on his own social media website, Truth Social.

    Pulte said his agency sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the allegations against Cook.

    “I believe the DOJ will open a criminal investigation into her alleged mortgage fraud,” he said.

    Trump accused Fed Chair Jerome Powell of fraud earlier this summer over an ongoing renovation project at Fed headquarters in Washington.

    Following a report in July that Trump had discussed attempting to fire Powell with congressional Republicans, he later said it was “highly unlikely” that he would do so after the stock market dipped on his initial comments, “unless he has to leave for fraud.”

    Tulsi Gabbard Revokes Security Clearance From 37 Intelligence Officials

    This week, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard revoked security clearances for 37 current and former intelligence community officials, accusing them of politicizing and manipulating intelligence.

    Fox News reports that a DNI memo sent out on Monday included the names of officials who worked at the CIA, NSA, State Department and National Security Council, including former Obama DNI James Clapper, who Gabbard claimed told officials to “compromise” normal procedures to rush a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment related to Russia’s influence in the 2016 election.

    “Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right,” Gabbard wrote in an X post. “Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold.”

    Notable officials include:

    Brett M. Holmgren

    • Former Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research

    Richard H. Ledgett

    • Former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA)

    Stephanie O’Sullivan

    • Former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence

    Luke R. Hartig

    • Former Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council

    Maher Bitar

    • Served on the National Security Council (NSC) under Biden

    Emily Horne

    • Former NSC Spokesperson under Biden

    Also included was Yael Eisenstat, a former CIA officer and White House advisor known for her involvement in the Facebook election integrity operation.

    Gabbard said the decision was made at President Donald Trump’s direction.

    “Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people,” Gabbard wrote on X.

    The memo noted the revocation was effective immediately, and the officials’ access to classified systems, facilities, materials and information would be terminated.

    Trump has revoked security clearances for a number of officials, including those who signed on to a letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop had the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.

    On Monday, the Justice Department announced Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey will step into the Trump administration as co-deputy director of the FBI.

    Bailey, who stepped down from his role as attorney general effective September 8, will hold his newly-created position alongside current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and serve under FBI Director Kash Patel.

    “Thrilled to welcome Andrew Bailey as our new FBI Co-Deputy Director,” according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche‘s post. “As Missouri’s Attorney General, he took on the swamp, fought weaponized government, and defended the Constitution. Now he is bringing that fight to DOJ.”

    This marks the first time in FBI history that the agency has had two deputy directors.

    “I am thrilled to welcome Andrew Bailey as Co-Deputy Director of the FBI. He has served as a distinguished attorney general for Missouri and is a decorated war veteran, bringing expertise and dedication to service,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said. “His leadership and commitment to country will be a tremendous asset as we work together to advance President Trump’s mission. While we know this is undoubtedly a great loss for Missouri, it is a tremendous gain for America.”

    Bailey does not require Senate confirmation for the role.

    Bailey, who has served as Missouri’s attorney general since 2023, reflected on his role in a post on X.

    “To Missouri, thank you. My tenure as Attorney General has been the honor of my professional career, but what has made it truly meaningful has been the opportunity to serve my home state,” Bailey wrote. “Together, we have defended the rule of law and safeguarded our freedoms. I am forever grateful.”

    During his time as Missouri’s attorney general, Bailey challenged the Biden administration and filed a variety of culture war suits. 

    Bailey sued to stop the student loan cancellation plan pushed by the Biden administration and sued the Department of Homeland Security for data on whether illegal immigrants were being relocated to Missouri. 

    Last month, current Deputy Director Dan Bongino faced growing fallout over the Justice Department’s decision not to disclose any more records from its investigations into deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. (RELATED: Bongino, Patel Reportedly On Brink Of Resignation Over DOJ Epstein Memo)

    CNN reports that Trump — who has been desperate to move past the Epstein story — was furious at Bongino, as well as FBI Director Kash Patel. Vice President JD Vance reportedly tried to hammer out a peace between the administration’s top Justice Department officials. But CNN reports that Bongino is still very much hanging by a thread.

    “It remains to be seen if Bongino ultimately resigns, which he told others he was considering,” the CNN report stated. “But sources say his relationship with the White House has become basically untenable. Even if he does not quit now, some inside the administration believe he will not stay in the job long-term.”

    However, President Donald Trump said he ultimately believes FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is “in good shape” following a reported clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
