It appears that Congress gave the states all the evidence—cooperation between Congress and state law enforcement. The attorneys general specifically stated that if congressional findings identified potential violations of state law, they were prepared to investigate and, if warranted, pursue appropriate legal action. Which states participated? The original coalition was: South Carolina (lead) Alabama Arkansas Florida Idaho Indiana Kansas Louisiana Missouri Montana Nebraska North Dakota South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah West Virginia   If your state is not on this list, call your AG office today!

PAUL: In the red folder on your table is a copy of Section 192 of Title II of the US Code...... Do you have that in front of you? FACUI: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the 5th Amendment of the Constitution. 📌Follow and Share👇🏻 🔬🧬 @RWMaloneMD

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly despite calls from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his arrest under an International Criminal Court warrant. Netanyahu accused Mamdani of promoting antisemitism, fostering division, and creating fear among New York's Jewish community by labeling him a war criminal and urging federal authorities to enforce the ICC warrant. President Trump stated that Netanyahu will not be arrested while in the United States, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed the administration's opposition to the ICC's actions against Israeli leaders. Conservatives argue that the United States should stand firmly with Israel, reject the ICC's claims against its democratically elected leaders, and oppose efforts by local officials to use international legal actions to target a key U.S. ally. https://archive.ph/wlbT2

A Texas woman pleaded guilty to participating in a human smuggling operation that brought unaccompanied illegal immigrant children, ages 5 to 13, into the United States from Mexico by using false identification and having smugglers pose as their parents at the border. Prosecutors said the organization sometimes gave children THC-laced candy to sedate them during the journey, resulting in one child being hospitalized for THC poisoning. The case highlights the dangers of illegal immigration and human smuggling, including the risks of child exploitation, human trafficking, sexual abuse, and drug exposure. The Justice Department said Joint Task Force Alpha has made hundreds of arrests and secured more than 400 convictions targeting human smuggling organizations, while Congress continues considering legislation to strengthen cross-border enforcement and combat transnational criminal networks. https://archive.ph/ejdDT

UK regulators have opened an investigation into Microsoft over concerns that customers may have been automatically moved into higher-priced Microsoft 365 subscriptions after the company added its Copilot AI assistant to Personal and Family plans. The investigation will examine whether Microsoft clearly informed customers about the pricing changes, available subscription options, and the continued availability of lower-cost plans before renewals. Microsoft later introduced a "Classic" plan at the original price for existing customers, but regulators are reviewing whether consumers were misled into paying more than necessary. Similar investigations are underway in Australia and Italy, where authorities are also examining whether Microsoft provided adequate disclosure and transparency when integrating AI features into its subscription services. https://archive.ph/XjUor

The Trump administration will end a temporary Medicare Part D subsidy program after 2026, concluding that insurers now have enough experience under the redesigned prescription drug benefit to operate without billions of dollars in taxpayer assistance. The Biden administration created the program in 2024 to offset premium increases caused by the Inflation Reduction Act, costing taxpayers an estimated $6.2 billion in 2025 and $3.6 billion in 2026. CMS projects the national base beneficiary premium will increase about 6 percent in 2027, while most beneficiaries are expected to see premium increases of less than $10 and some may pay less. The decision aligns with President Trump's broader effort to eliminate taxpayer-funded subsidies for insurance companies, lower prescription drug prices through his most-favored-nation pricing policy, and reduce healthcare costs by directing savings to patients rather than large healthcare intermediaries. https://archive.ph/FsSuJ

The United States is expanding its support for critical mineral development in Africa by backing Madagascar's Ampasindava rare earths project as part of a strategy to reduce dependence on China for minerals essential to advanced manufacturing, defense systems, and emerging technologies. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation committed up to $4.84 million to help advance the project, with additional support possible as development progresses. The Trump administration is promoting greater U.S. investment in Africa's mining sector to counter China's longstanding dominance and what it describes as nontransparent and predatory investment practices. The Ampasindava mine is expected to produce key rare earth elements used in precision-guided missiles, fighter aircraft, electronics, and other strategic technologies, strengthening domestic and allied supply chains while reducing China's leverage over global critical mineral markets. https://archive.ph/yTugv

Never forget what they did to us....

Senator Hawley knew exactly what he was doing because he knew Fauci would invoke the Fifth Amendment, even in response to improper questions. @aaronsiri

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John R. Hannah Jr., who was appointed by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey in 2022, ruled that Proposition 145 could not appear on the November ballot because it violated Arizona's separate amendment rule by combining protections for military families' Empowerment Scholarship Accounts with a provision that would invalidate conflicting ballot measures, including the proposed ESA reform initiative. Senate Republicans announced they will appeal the decision, arguing the measure protects educational opportunities for military families and helps preserve Arizona's universal school choice program. The ruling follows another court decision removing Proposition 143 from the ballot, marking the second Republican-referred measure struck down on constitutional grounds. Conservatives contend these legal challenges are part of a broader effort to weaken legislative efforts to protect school choice and other reforms from initiatives backed by teachers unions and public education advocacy groups. https://ktar.com/arizona-politics-news/election/esa-gop-block-measure-rejected/5893246

Hobbs again declined to commit to debating Republican gubernatorial challenger Andy Biggs, saying she preferred spending time meeting voters around the state instead of answering questions about a debate. Hobbs also refused to debate Kari Lake during the 2022 governor's race, reinforcing criticism that she avoids defending her record in an open public forum against Republican opponents. Debates give voters an opportunity to compare candidates side by side, hear competing visions for Arizona, and hold elected officials accountable for their records. Refusing to commit to a debate limits public scrutiny and deprives Arizona voters of the transparency and direct candidate comparison that are fundamental to the democratic process. https://ktar.com/arizona-politics-news/election/katie-hobbs-debate-question/5893061

Arizona's declining public school enrollment continues to expose the long-term consequences of demographic change, school choice, and families seeking alternatives that better meet their children's needs. Glendale Elementary School District is now warning that falling enrollment could force school closures, staff layoffs, boundary changes, and another request for taxpayers to approve override and bond funding. Rather than expecting taxpayers to continually provide additional revenue, districts facing sustained enrollment declines must right-size their operations by consolidating underutilized schools, reducing excess administrative and facility costs, and aligning spending with the number of students they actually serve. Fiscal stewardship requires adapting to changing enrollment instead of preserving outdated infrastructure, while ensuring resources remain focused on classrooms and student achievement rather than maintaining empty buildings. https://ktar.com/arizona-education/glendale-elementary-closures/5893229/

A former behavioral health clinician in Contra Costa County, California, faces multiple felony charges after allegedly grooming a teenage boy while serving as his therapist in juvenile hall and then sexually abusing him for approximately three months after his release. Prosecutors allege Sofia Drotts developed an inappropriate emotional relationship with the boy while he was incarcerated, continued treating him after his release on probation, and engaged in unlawful sexual conduct between April and July 2026. She is also charged with sexual penetration by a foreign object, oral copulation of a person under 18, sending harmful matter to a minor, and possessing child pornography. The victim's family has filed a civil lawsuit alleging county employees failed to recognize warning signs or adequately supervise Drotts, allowing the abuse to continue, while prosecutors continue pursuing the criminal case. https://nypost.com/2026/07/28/us-news/san-francisco-therapist-accused-of-raping-underage-client

Federal immigration enforcement operations have begun in New York City after the Trump administration announced an expanded ICE presence. The Department of Homeland Security said nearly 70 percent of ICE arrests involve illegal immigrants who have been charged with or convicted of crimes in the United States and highlighted recent arrests of individuals it identified as some of the "worst of the worst." Border czar Tom Homan said New York's sanctuary policies force ICE officers to make arrests in neighborhoods instead of local jails, requiring additional agents to carry out enforcement operations. Mayor Zohran Mamdani continues to oppose expanded ICE enforcement, has called for abolishing ICE, signed an executive order reinforcing the city's sanctuary policies, and requires judicial warrants before ICE may enter many city-owned properties. Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation restricting cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, while maintaining that the law protects New Yorkers from the use of local police for federal civil immigration enforcement. https://www.ntd.com/ice-surge-begins-in-new-york-city_1162523.html

The Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence in a 51–47 vote, making him the permanent head of the U.S. intelligence community after serving as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and previously as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Clayton pledged to strengthen intelligence oversight, address foreign threats from China, Russia, Iran, and terrorist organizations, improve coordination among the nation's intelligence agencies, and ensure intelligence remains objective and free from political influence. His confirmation follows leadership changes within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and places him in charge of overseeing the 18 agencies that make up the U.S. Intelligence Community. https://www.ntd.com/senate-confirms-jay-clayton-as-director-of-national-intelligence_1162659.html

A federal appeals court ruled that a class-action lawsuit accusing Chobani of misleading consumers with "Zero Sugar" yogurt labels may proceed. The lawsuit alleges the yogurt contains four grams of allulose per serving and therefore does not qualify as "zero sugar" under FDA regulations, which prohibit products from using "sugar free" or "zero sugar" claims unless they contain less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving. The court concluded that allulose qualifies as sugar under the applicable federal regulation, despite FDA guidance stating it would exercise enforcement discretion regarding allulose labeling, and found the plaintiffs plausibly alleged they were misled by Chobani's labeling. The case was returned to the district court for further proceedings. https://www.ntd.com/lawsuit-against-chobani-over-claim-its-yogurt-has-zero-sugar-will-proceed-court-rules_1162562.html

Joe Biden's recorded conversations with his ghostwriter reveal that he believed he was often the lone voice within the Obama administration on Ukraine and middle-class economic issues, pushing for more aggressive policies while saying President Barack Obama became frustrated with him over those disagreements. Biden said advisers encouraged him to run for president in 2016 because they believed he could unite the Democratic Party, describing Hillary Clinton as divisive and Bernie Sanders as too angry. Biden also said Obama discouraged him from running because he doubted Biden could secure the Democratic nomination and was concerned an unsuccessful campaign would damage his reputation and legacy. The recordings also include Biden discussing classified materials that later became part of Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation into his handling of classified documents. https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/28/biden-obama-hillary-bernie

Zohran Mamdani publicly released the names and addresses of property owners who could be affected by his proposed tax on luxury second homes, including celebrities and other wealthy individuals. Publishing the list publicly targets and shames people based on their wealth, promotes class conflict instead of sound public policy, exposes property owners to unnecessary privacy and security risks, and treats financial success as something deserving of public condemnation. The proposal advances socialist politics by encouraging resentment toward wealthy individuals, dividing society along economic lines, and replacing equal treatment under the law with policies that single out individuals because of their wealth. https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/28/mamdani-tax-list-socialist-class-warfare

Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli moved the Election Transparency Initiative to The Heritage Foundation to expand efforts to strengthen election integrity through policy development, legal analysis, research, and grassroots engagement. The initiative works with legislators, state officials, election experts, and volunteers to prevent election fraud before it occurs, develop model legislation, improve election administration, increase transparency, and restore public confidence in elections. Integrating the initiative into Heritage combines election policy expertise with Heritage's research, communications, legal, and grassroots networks to provide greater support for state and local election integrity efforts and expand practical, constitutional solutions to election administration. https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/07/28/cuccinelli-transparency-heritage

The Department of Justice reached a seven-figure settlement with pro-life activist Paul Vaughn after he sued over an armed FBI raid on his home following his prosecution under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Vaughn was prosecuted for participating in a 2021 abortion clinic protest in Tennessee, faced up to 10 years in prison, and alleged federal agents unnecessarily raided his home at gunpoint in front of his family despite his willingness to cooperate. The settlement acknowledged the government's actions without admitting liability and followed broader actions by the Trump administration to limit FACE Act prosecutions, pardon convicted pro-life activists, and reverse policies it says were used to target pro-life Americans under the previous administration. https://cforc.com/2026/07/doj-reaches-settlement-with-pro-life-protester-who-was-targeted-during-the-biden-admin/
