    A widely used federal website that publishes information about changing weather patterns, drought conditions, agricultural best-practices, atmospheric changes and greenhouse gas emissions will no longer be updated, according to current and former employees familiar with the site. The website will stop publishing new content on July 1. The site, climate.gov, is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). As of 2021, it received nearly one million visitors every month, and was one of the most trusted sources of climate-related information in the U.S., according to public surveys about the site. A staff of 10 people wrote content and...

    31 NGOs behind 1,000+ protests this Saturday have been exposed by @DataRepublican —and the FBI is now investigating “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”.. This isn’t grassroots. It’s Color Revolution 2.0—a coordinated, funded insurrection backed by shadowy donors. According to @DataRepublican , the “No Kings” rally is tied to 31 left-wing NGOs, including the ACLU Foundation, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Color of Change. Follow the grant money and you’ll find the usual suspects: Open Society, Schwab Charitable, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Some groups openly push Marxist ideology. Others were caught handing out riot gear used in...

    Court documents reveal 900 pounds of meth found in a storage unit in Burnsville, Minnesota, prompted a highly scrutinized federal raid on Lake Street in Minneapolis earlier this month. A federal criminal complaint filed Monday said the June 3 raid at Cuatro Milpas was connected to one of eight search warrants executed across the state. Those warrants followed the search of a Burnsville storage unit, which the complaint said yielded 900 pounds of crystal meth "concealed in multiple tubes separately held in large spools of metal." The street value of the meth is at least $22 million, authorities said. Court...

    A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump acted illegally when he seized control of California’s National Guard during ICE-related riots in Los Angeles. U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer issued the decision Thursday, siding with Governor Gavin Newsom and ordering Trump to return control of the Guard to the state "forthwith." "His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution," Breyer wrote. "He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith." "Federalism is not optional," the...

    A federal judge late Thursday ruled that the federalization of parts of California’s National Guard by President Donald Trump was “illegal,” and ordered Trump to return control of the Guard to state Gov. Gavin Newsom “forthwith.” But Judge Charles Breyer stayed his temporary restraining order from taking effect until 3 p.m. ET on Friday to allow the Trump administration to appeal his decision. The administration promptly did just that, asking the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to block Breyer’s ruling from taking effect. Trump, over the past week, had federalized 4,000 members of the California National Guard, and mobilized...

    A bystander has body-slammed a protester after they threw a can at a police officer during the ongoing riots in Los Angeles. Leading up to the textbook tackle, the protester was seen dancing and taunting sheriff deputies before throwing a can at an officer. After the can was thrown, officers fired tear gas at the protester, and as he attempted to get away, a bystander body-slammed the protester. The bystander’s tackle on the protester led to the man who threw the can at the deputy being arrested. Law enforcement sources confirmed to CNN that the suspect who assaulted the officer...

    The Trump administration on Thursday began notifying roughly 530,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants that their legal status has been revoked and they should self-deport immediately. The termination notices went out via email to migrants enrolled in a controversial Biden-era “humanitarian parole” program, which granted foreign nationals from the four countries US work permits and deportation protection for up to two years. “The Biden Administration lied to America,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “They allowed more than half a million poorly vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate...

    Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a sweeping strike on Iran following months of attempted, and seemingly failed, nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran, but according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the U.S. was not involved in the strikes. "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran," Rubio said in a statement Thursday night. "We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. "Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense," he added.

    A former immigrant shelter director in Massachusetts is petitioning Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into the "disturbing pattern" of criminal activity, sexual assaults and financial abuse that he says is widespread in the state-run migrant shelter system. Jon Fetherston, a former director of an immigrant shelter in Marlborough, Massachusetts, first blew the whistle about the widespread abuse in the shelter system after he discovered a Haitian migrant named Ronald Joseph, who was living in his shelter, had repeatedly raped and impregnated his 13-year-old daughter. Fetherston previously told Fox News Digital that as...

    It’s the most busted salary in news. CNN is reportedly paying anchor Anderson Cooper $18 million a year — an eye-popping sum that could be in the crosshairs when the ratings-challenged network is spun off by its debt-ridden parent company. Cooper, the face of the network and host of its primetime show at 8 p.m., has an uncertain future following Monday’s stunning announcement by Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav about the looming split, according to the Puck newsletter. Zaslav tapped WBD Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels to start looking for ways to cut costs when he takes over CNN...

    The dad of a young union worker and socialist activist arrested by the FBI for handing out face shields to dozens of LA rioters said his son isn’t a criminal — but slammed him for supplying the anti-ICE riots, and leading the feds to bust down the door of their family home. Francisco Orellana’s reaction to seeing his son Alejandro “Alex” Orellana driving a truck loaded with supplies for protesters was: “What the f--- are you doing?” The elder Orellana, a US citizen who moved to the US in the 1970s, told The Post the feds handcuffed the whole family...

    President Trump signaled on Thursday during a bill signing ceremony that the U.S. is close to a deal with Iran that would bring peace to the Middle East and eliminate its nuclear capabilities. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump spoke to reporters Wednesday night on worsening conditions in the Middle East regarding Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. authorized evacuations of dependents and non-essential personnel at several embassies and bases in the Middle East after Iran threatened attacks over the possible breakdown of negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program amid warnings by both Israel and the U.S. that...

    A bitter feud is escalating between Republican Sen. Rand Paul and Donald Trump’s top border official, injecting uncertainty into Congress’s attempt to pass the administration’s signature policy bill this month. Key Trump adviser Stephen Miller came to Capitol Hill to meet with Senate Republicans on Thursday to resolve a major issue over the bill’s border security provisions – which Paul opposes. Paul and Miller have been locked in a dispute for days over the border funding. The White House is seeking $150 billion in funds for border security and deportation. But Paul – who has repeatedly lashed out against the...
