The Department of Justice is dropping all charges against David Hearn, a former Olympian who was accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool (0:03 - 0:07).
Charges Dismissed: David Hearn, a Bethesda resident, was previously facing felony charges for allegedly damaging the pool's new liner (0:13 - 0:16). He had maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty, with a trial originally scheduled for September (0:35 - 0:40).
Construction Flaws: A new court filing revealed that prosecutors would not have pursued the indictment had the Department of the Interior properly disclosed information indicating the damage was likely a result of construction issues rather than vandalism (0:20 - 0:33).

Paul Vaughn (a Tennessee pro-life activist and father of 11) reached a seven-figure settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, announced around July 28, 2026, by the Thomas More Society. One report specified about $1.2 million; the exact public figure is generally described only as seven figures.
The settlement resolves claims tied to his Biden-era prosecution under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and a related predawn FBI raid on his family home. Vaughn was among activists charged over a March 2021 protest/sit-in at a Nashville-area (Mt. Juliet) abortion clinic; his attorneys have said his role was mainly as a messenger/liaison between protesters (who prayed and sang) and police, not blocking access. He was convicted in 2024 of a felony conspiracy-against-rights count and a misdemeanor FACE violation, faced potential lengthy prison time, and received a sentence of supervised release (plus home confinement in some accounts). President Trump pardoned him (and roughly two dozen other pro-life activists) in January 2025 while the case was on appeal.
The Thomas More Society (a nonprofit religious-liberty firm that often represents anti-abortion clients) handled his defense and the settlement claims (reached earlier, reportedly in April, and disclosed in late July 2026). Steve (or Stephen) Crampton, senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, is identified as his attorney and has publicly commented on the case and settlement, describing the prior prosecution and raid as an abuse of power.
Vaughn and his lawyers have framed the payment as acknowledgment of overreach by the prior DOJ/FBI (including the home raid in front of his wife and children); the DOJ settlement language includes a standard denial of liability or fault. It has been noted in coverage alongside other payouts and discussions of a proposed “anti-weaponization” fund. More similar settlements for other clients may follow, according to the firm.

Trump disputes the DOJ's findings and he asserts that vandalism took place because of the deep gashes running the length of the pool and videos showing vandals tearing at the lining.
The DOJ's findings do not line up with the evidence publicly shown. In the aftermath of J6 prosecutions, it is best to fire all prosecutors and start over because the DOJ is still broken.

Oxford Union debate—"This house believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam."
This video features a high-stakes Oxford Union debate (0:00 - 2:44:28) surrounding the motion: "This house believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam." The event, hosted at the Oxford Union, includes passionate arguments from both sides regarding the compatibility of Islam with Western liberal democratic values.
Key participants included:
Proposition: Oliver Jones Lions (0:31), Tommy Robinson (30:16), Laurence Fox (1:01:24), and Jonathan Sacerdoti (1:38:16).
Opposition: Aisha Khan Aziz (17:48), Michael Doward (44:41), Abdullah al-Andalusi (1:52:55), and Leon Styles (2:15:17).
Core arguments presented during the debate:
Proposition's stance: Speakers for the proposition argued that the West faces unique challenges concerning Islam and suggested that skepticism is a rational response to certain ideological interpretations of scripture, historical actions, and security concerns (1:21, 38:46, 1:47:35).
Opposition's stance: The opposition emphasized that the motion promotes bigotry and scapegoating (19:35, 1:16:32). They argued that judging an entire religion by the actions of extremists is flawed and that Muslim communities are integral and invested members of society who face unfair suspicion (1:28:34, 1:35:06).
Throughout the debate, the speakers frequently addressed the principles of free speech and the Oxford Union's commitment to allowing controversial topics to be discussed, despite significant protests taking place outside the chamber (0:47, 30:33, 1:16:01).

Pirro and Bergum have been summoned to the White House to provide an account regarding the prosecution of David Hearn. President Trump firmly believes that Pirro faltered when Judge Todd Edelman challenged her and the Department of Justice. The DOJ subsequently moved to drop the case, citing a Department of Interior report which concluded that construction defects by contractors, rather than vandalism, were responsible for the damages. This new assessment contradicts what was previously disclosed to the public. President Trump expressed deep disappointment in Pirro, noting that while she speaks boldly, she ultimately caved under pressure and failed in her duty to protect a national symbol from vandalism, a ten-year felony offense.

Data centers are welcome in Texas unless they create too much noise, overburden the grid—raising electric price, or consume too much water for cooling. This is true not only for Texas but everywhere else.
Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday ordered state energy regulators to halt approvals for all new data center projects seeking to connect to the Texas power grid until a comprehensive audit and verification process is completed.

DSA-endorsed Donovan McKinney defeated incumbent Sri Thanedar in Michigan's 13th Congressional district primary. Thanedar, a former DSA member, resigned from the DSA in 2023 after the group refused to condemn the October 7 Hamas attacks. The DSA stands for everything evil, nonproductive, and irrational. This should make it easier for Americans to decide at the polls. But regrettably, Michigan voters of the 13th district will vote overwhelmingly Democrat, DSA or traditional.

Cook and ex-Fed Chair Jerome Powell are two of the most political Feds who has TDS and overtly pro Biden. They hastily lowered rates in 2024 to boost Biden's prospects for re-election. Now that Trump is in office at a time when they should be lowering rates, they keep it the same and raise. Had it not been for the immense pressure Trump put on the Feds to lower rates, they would have raised rates to tank the economy to hurt Trump by making many of us homeless and unemployed. Not to mention credit card interests rocketing back to 30%.
