The White House has gone into full defense mode after Donald Trump was found taking credit for price cuts that had nothing to do with him. On Monday, the 80-year-old president posted on Truth Social that Walmart would be "lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration's request," including cutting the cost of beef by 15 percent as part of the country's 250th birthday celebrations. However, a Walmart spokesperson told The Bulwark that the company's price cuts had already been in place at its stores for a week before Trump tried to suggest he had convinced the country's biggest retailer to implement them.
The first defendants since daycare fraud became a highly talked-about issue in Minnesota have pleaded guilty. That includes the woman who received more taxpayer money than any other childcare provider in 2025.

In the fall of 2024, DHS had employees in dozens of countries, from Peru to Turkiye, to vet the most vulnerable and persecuted individuals in the world for potential entry into the US. Just one year later, those screeners (approximately 456 GS-1801 USCIS Refugee Officers) were all working in just one country: South Africa.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley has now written to Patel asking that Patel, 46, provide information to the House and Senate Judiciary committees, which have been scrutinizing his spending, MS NOW reported.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that, between the start of May and mid-June, at least 145 cases of cyclosporiasis had been reported in the U.S. Cases of the parasite-based sickness are common each year from May through August, but some states are seeing larger-than-average spikes in cases.

Adam Hoffman " a well connected lawyer and admitted predator " should have spent his life in prison.
Instead, Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal, letting him out of jail after just 29 days in jail.
