President Trump nuked Fox News on Tuesday for undermining his efforts to elect Republican Senate candidates by giving airtime to their Democratic opponents. 

This morning, Trump went off on Fox and host Martha MacCallum over her “softball interview” with far-left Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed on Monday, accusing the network of promoting the Democrats.

Trump confirmed on Monday that he plans to travel to Michigan next week to campaign for Rogers.

WATCH:

And Fox decided to interview El-Sayed just minutes after.

“FoxNews spends more time covering the Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans, the people that have saved America, and are making it great again,” Trump said.

“All they talk about is Dumocrat Jihadists like El-Sayed, with his softball interview by Martha MacCallum, and the like.”

“She never interviews me like that,” he continued. “They don’t show my record breaking Rallies the morning after, but others do, and that’s what MAGA is watching. Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!”

Just minutes later, Trump blasted Fox again, this time for interviewing Democratic Nebraska Senate Nominee Dan Osborn.

“FoxNews is long form interviewing the sleazebag, Dan Osborn, right now, who is running against our GREAT Republican Senator, Pete Ricketts, from Nebraska,” Trump said.

Notably, Trump was in Nebraska just last night campaigning for Incumbent Pete Ricketts.

Then Fox News had Osborn on this morning to promote his campaign!

“Why are they doing this???” Trump said, noting that left-wing outlets like CNN never help Republicans like this.

“The ‘other side’ doesn’t give our people any positive exposure or airtime. It is a miracle that I won, the last by a landslide, three Presidential Races!”

Earlier in the week, Trump also slammed Fox News, writing the network “spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy,” and slamming them for not talking about his rallies in Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma.

“We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats,” Trump said, hitting the liberal co-host of “The Five,” Jessica Tarlov. He further took aim at the “loser” behind Maria Bartiromo’s ouster.

“Who makes these decisions at FoxNews? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo because she complained about not being allowed to cover ‘TRUMP,’” he said.

JUST IN: Trump Goes Off on Fox News for Not Covering Massive Rallies on Fox and Friends, Slams “Stupid Jessica Tarlov” and the “Loser” Behind Maria Bartiromo’s Ouster

Last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Abdi Nur Salah, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was sentenced to 33 months in prison for his role in the Feeding Our Future case, a $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prosecutors have described it as one of the largest fraud schemes in American history.

Much of the money went to luxury cars, jewelry, real estate, and even overseas accounts, primarily funneled through Minnesota-based nonprofit organizations tied to the local Somali community.

A total of 78 people were indicted or charged by the DOJ in connection with the scheme.

The DOJ notes that Salah was originally charged by indictment on September 13, 2022, and he pleaded guilty on January 28, 2025.

He is the 31st defendant sentenced in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.

According to court documents, Salah and his co-conspirators operated a non-profit Federal Child Nutrition Program meal site called Stigma-Free International, which was sponsored by Feeding Our Future.

When the Minnesota Department of Education announced it would no longer approve food sites run by restaurants and other for-profit companies, Salah then acquired a non-profit entity, Stigma-Free International, to continue to carry out the fraudulent scheme against the Federal Child Nutrition Program.

Salah then transferred ownership of Stigma-Free International to his co-conspirators, who used it to open a number of new Federal Child Nutrition Program sites throughout Minnesota.

Per the DOJ:

For 12 months from November 2020 to November 2021, Salah’s co-conspirators fraudulently claimed to have served nearly five million meals to children at the Stigma-Free International sites, including by submitting fraudulent attendance rosters and invoices. Based on the fraudulent claims, Feeding Our Future paid out over $10 million in Federal Child Nutrition Program reimbursements to the Stigma-Free International sites.

Salah additionally created and used multiple shell companies to receive and launder his share of the fraud proceeds. The defendant then used the funds for self-enrichment including purchasing homes, real estate, and businesses. In all, Salah received approximately $1,660,000 in Federal Child Nutrition Program funds.

United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen shared, “This defendant decided to steal funds meant for vulnerable children. Today’s sentence represents my office’s unwavering commitment to holding accountable those who defraud the American taxpayers.”

“Abdi Nur Salah knew what that money was for. It was meant to feed children, and he helped turn it into his payday.”

Robert J. Kuszynski, Acting Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation’s Chicago Field Office, added, “Families counted on that program during a hard time, while he helped take from it.”

“You can dress a scheme up as a nonprofit, but you can’t make the money trail disappear. Our special agents followed it, and today Salah answers for where it led.”

Gregory Bovino, the retired commander-at-large of the Border Patrol who took on the Radical Left during the Battle of Minneapolis earlier this year, is heading to Michigan as part of the ‘Deport Abdul El-Sayed’ campaign with the midterm elections only weeks away.

Bovino announced on Monday that he is heading to Michigan on Oct. 17 to headline a Deportation Celebration as well as meet with law enforcement, speak with experts on human trafficking, conduct media appearances and engage the grassroots with all efforts centering on stopping the election of Abdul El-Sayed.

“Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed is the candidate of the feral mobs that I saw firsthand during the Battle of Minneapolis. If he is elected to office, El-Sayed will be the nationwide ringleader for ANTIFA terrorism, being the loudest advocate to defund the police, poisoning the political discourse with a laser focus on subverting American national greatness,” Bovino said in a video address posted on the ‘Deport Abdul El-Sayed’ Facebook page.

The Gateway Pundit has published an extensive list of articles highlighting El-Sayed’s radicalism. El-Sayed has stood with Iranian terrorists at war with the United States, excused Jihadi attacks against a Michigan synagogue, refused to denounce campaign surrogates who said America is worse than Al-Qaeda and America deserved 9/11, palled around with the radical leftist George Soros network, compared the transgender genital butchery of children to the Judeo-Christian practice of traditional circumcision, alienated staffers with his abusive behavior, stoked tensions between black Michigan residents and Arab-Americans.

Bovino believes that El-Sayed poses a unique threat to the country, even in comparison to other DSA-aligned candidates who have advanced through the primary process in the Democrat Party.

“El-Sayed is using deception, as his holy book the Koran commands him, to pull the wool over the eyes of the infidels. El-Sayed wants the public to think he is a reformer, a breath of fresh air who will challenge the political class. Similar to Barack Hussein Obama, Abdul El-Sayed is building himself up on a house of lies. His entire persona has been fabricated.

El-Sayed is a trojan horse for all of the worst policies of Islamism and communism rolled up into one,” Bovino said.

When El-Sayed was Wayne County Health Director—his only position of merit—he oversaw the Juvenile Detention Center that underwent a series of brutal rapes and sexual assaults.

El-Sayed also oversaw an animal shelter where dogs were regularly abused, tortured and murdered. El-Sayed whitewashed the crimes committed under him,” Bovino continued, comparing El-Sayed to a “sleeper cell” that will “be set off from inside of the hallowed grounds of our U.S. Senate.”

El-Sayed is going up against Trump-endorsed former Congressman Mike Rogers in the Michigan U.S. Senate primary. Bovino hopes that his appearance will mobilize voters to understand the importance of the upcoming Senate election and the consequential impact it will have on America’s future.

“I am coming to Michigan because this is ground zero for the future of our country. I look forward to galvanizing the voters, raising awareness of the urgency of the moment, and encouraging the masses to dash El-Sayed’s hopes before his foreign ideology poisons our whole nation,” he said.

These midterms can still be won by GOP…if they have any balls. If they’re willing to tell the cold, hard, truth about who Democrats really are…and what they really stand for.

There is so much low-hanging fruit- this is like taking candy from a baby. 

 

We have easy, simple, obvious storylines that can be converted to TV ads- to make sure Americans are scared to death of what would happen if we put today’s extreme Democrat Party in charge of our lives.

The message is so simple…

Paint Democrats as the party of radical communism, Sharia Law, transgenders and illegal alien murderers and rapists. This isn’t hyperbole. This is raw truth. These are facts.

There is even a simple saying to brand Democrats…

“Gas prices are temporary, but communism, Sharia Law and your children changing their gender, are FOREVER.”

 

Here are five simple real-life storylines that would make for devastatingly effective Republican TV ads…

 

 

#1) The Iranian Revolutionary Guard just endorsed Democrats for the midterms.

 

Why isn’t this THE go-to GOP TV ad across the country?

It’s like God just dropped the perfect TV ad in the GOP’s hands.

The TV ad script is so simple…

Iran is the world’s worst terrorism state. They fund terrorism all over the world.

They have killed thousands of American soldiers and citizens.

They wanted to build nukes to hold the entire world hostage.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is the worst of their worst- they tortured and mass murdered 50,000 Iranian citizens arrested during protests- mostly young people.

They gang-raped the girls before hanging them, so they could not go to heaven as virgins.

These are the worst sub-human savages since the Nazis.

BREAKING NEWS: The Iranian Revolutionary Guard just endorsed Democrats for the midterms.

Show these radical nutjob mass murderers reading their endorsement message. Seeing is believing.

End this TV ad with…

“Vote Republican like your life depends on it- BECAUSE IT DOES!”

 

#2) California Governor Gavin Newsom just signed into law two Muslim holidays as official state holidays- so government employees, teachers and students can take the days off.

This comes from the state that has never recognized the two holiest Jewish holidays as official state holidays.

This comes from the state that openly mocks and hates Christians and Christianity.

Do you think Muslim holidays should be official state holidays in America?

In Massachusetts the state government gives priority in hiring to Muslims over all other Americans.

Do you think Muslims have priority over Christians and Jews in America for government jobs?

What’s next? Sharia Law?

Soon, the Muslim call to prayer will be blasted on loudspeakers 5x a day on your streets- as already happens in Minneapolis.

Soon, your daughters will be wearing black face coverings.

Is this what you want for America?

End this TV ad with…

“Vote Republican like your life depends on it- BECAUSE IT DOES!”

#3) A new caravan of thousands of illegal alien foreign invaders is headed up through Mexico to America. 

 

Show aerial shots of the caravan with thousands of illegal invaders stretching as far as the eye can see.

The world is sending their worst of the worst to America.

Murderers, rapists, kidnapers, drug traffickers, pimps, pedophiles, the mentally deranged.

Not to mention, they’re sending their poorest, unskilled citizens who will require cradle to grave welfare in America…

Who will bankrupt our country…

Destroy our schools and healthcare system…

Destroy your neighborhoods…

Kill your children with fentanyl…

Turn America into a third world crap hole…

Is this what you want for America? For the future of your children?

End this TV ad with…

“Vote Republican like your life depends on it- BECAUSE IT DOES!”

#4) Turn crazy communist podcaster Hasan Piker into the poster boy for Democrats in the midterms. 

 

This is the guy who has campaigned for far-left Democrats across America. He is a nonstop guest on liberal media. He is beloved by Democrat Socialists.

Make him the face of the Democrat Party.

This one speaks for itself. Its so simple…such low hanging fruit…it’s impossible to believe it hasn’t become the foundation of all GOP TV ads for midterms.

Simply play videos of Hasan Piker’s most devastating quotes should be featured headlines for every GOP TV ad…

“America deserved 9-11.”

“I do hate America. We must end the American empire.”

“I wipe my ass with the US Constitution.”

“Israel has no right to exist.”

“My favorite flag is Hezbollah.”

About landlords: “Yeah, kill them. Kill those motherf*ckers. And murder those motherf*ckers in the street. Let the streets—let the streets soak in their f*cking red capitalist blood, dude.”

On illegal immigration: “We’re gonna keep bringing immigrants into this country, on purpose, just so they can f*ck your sister and then maybe even your daughter. We’re gonna destroy the white race, b*tch. That’s what we’re here to do.“

End this TV ad with…

 

“Vote Republican like your life depends on it- BECAUSE IT DOES!”

#5) Finally we come to number five.

Claire Valdez- Democrat Socialist candidate for Congress in New York’s 7^th Congressional District just announced she expects if Democrats win the midterms their top priority will be a transgender bill of rights.

 

Play a video of her words.

 

Then say…This is today’s Democrat Party. If Democrats win the midterms- these are the crazy, radical lunatics who will control our lives and make our laws.

End this TV ad with…

 

“Vote Republican like your life depends on it- BECAUSE IT DOES!”

It’s so easy to win the upcoming midterms. Just show normal American voters what Democrats really believe in.

If the GOP had balls these would be their TV ads.

Normal Americans would run from insane, deranged radicals like these- who spend their entire lives obsessed with communism, Sharia Law, transgenders, and defending illegal alien gangbangers, drug traffickers, murderers and rapists.

 

Let’s hope the GOP grows a pair of balls and listens!

 

The problem is…this is the party that couldn’t pass “THE SAVE America Act” that 80% of Americans support, or daylight savings time.

So, I say pray for the GOP to be infused with strength to say what needs to be said, and to paint a truthful real-life picture of who today’s Democrats really are, and what they really want to do to America.

And then…

Vote like your life depends on it- BECAUSE IT DOES!

Two American soldiers in Washington State showcased their heroism in an unexpected place yesterday after seeing two innocent children in danger from their own mother.

As KING 5 News reported, a 35-year-old woman was driving erratically on Interstate 5 near DuPont on Monday and caused a rollover crash.

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) revealed the woman’s Volkswagen Tiguan hit a barrier, rolled across the freeway, and smacked into a semi-truck.

The vehicle then struck another barrier and rolled again.

After crashing her car, state police say that passersby witnessed the woman stabbing her own two children, who are 9 and 15 years of age.

It was at that moment that two men in military uniforms driving on the highway from nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord stopped, raced toward the scene, and likely saved the children’s lives in the process.

Witness Nathan Wilkinson revealed that the two soldiers wrestled the woman for the knife before forcing her to the ground.

The two soldiers then held the woman on the ground until WSP arrived to take her into custody.

“There’s people standing around, then all of a sudden there was a flash, and then the two soldiers jumped on a person. I heard a scream at that time,” Wilkinson told KING 5 News. “I saw one of the soldiers had a knife in his hand that he had dislodged from the person they tackled.”

“They didn’t run away, they didn’t pass, drive on by. They stopped and helped,” he added.

WSP said the younger child suffered broken bones and stab wounds.

The older child’s condition is unknown.

The woman was taken to the hospital and then booked into the Pierce County Jail. She is expected to be charged with the following offenses later on Tuesday: two counts of assault, vehicular assault, and two counts of reckless endangerment.

The names of the hero soldiers are not known at this time.

Zion Teasley, the man who stabbed Phoenix hiker Lauren Heike 15 times on a trail in 2023, has pleaded guilty to her murder in a deal that takes the death penalty off the table and sends him to prison for life.

Teasley, 25, killed Heike, a 29-year-old beauty technician, after stalking her on a hiking trail near her home.

Neighbors found her body at the foot of a barbed wire fence.

Police said he chased her, killed her with a pocketknife, and jumped the fence to get away.

She did not know him.

DNA on her shoes matched Teasley, who was on probation after serving a year in prison for armed robbery and other offenses. Officers arrested him days later at his home, about a mile from the trail.

Before the killing, Teasley wrote in a diary that he was “battling with my gender identity and sexuality,” and that the conflict clashed with his Christian faith, according to a roughly 400-page police report ABC15 obtained last year.

“I want to live a life of serving god, but how can I with these and other sins in the way,” he wrote. “I know I am forgiven for my sins, but it’s still a lot of pressure, and it’s hard to maintain a good Christian mindset 24/7.”

Police also noted a line in which he described being depressed by seeing “beautiful” women because he was stuck being “a man.”

When detectives first interviewed him, he denied having seen Heike anywhere but on the news, then told them, “That’s what I would want to look like.”

Investigators later said they found a photo of him in an outfit similar to the one she was wearing when she was killed.

Teasley’s boss told police he had recently been fired for being aggressive toward female employees and had stolen clothing.

His attorney referred to him as “she” in court.

Heike’s family told ABC15 they support the plea.

“After 3½ incredibly long and painful years, our family supports the State’s decision to enter into a plea agreement in Lauren’s case. This means we will not have to endure a trial or sit in a courtroom and hear every painful detail of the crime that took Lauren from us,” they said. “While no sentence will ever bring Lauren back, we are relieved knowing that he will never be released. He will never again have the opportunity to harm another person or cause another family to experience the unimaginable grief and trauma that ours has endured.”

It is currently unclear if Teasley will serve his life sentence in a male or female prison.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit last week, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier took decisive action against Big Pharma on by filing a lawsuit against Pfizer and its CEO, Dr. Albert Bourla.

The lawsuit claims that the company falsely marketed its COVID-19 shot as safe while profiting billions, despite reports of pregnant women experiencing miscarriages, teenagers suffering from heart attacks, along with reports of other adverse events.

In light of these troubling allegations, a recent poll by American Family News found that a significant number of individuals are either aware of someone who has experienced adverse effects from the COVID-19 shot or have suffered side effects themselves.

The four-day poll, which garnered over 1,100 responses, revealed that 29 percent of respondents could not name anyone injured by the shot, while 27 percent knew a family member affected, 24 percent were aware of a friend or co-worker, and 14 percent identified a neighbor. Notably, five percent reported personal injuries from the shot, including themselves among the 71 percent of respondents who recognized someone adversely affected.

AFN poll reveals nearly 71% know someone adversely affected by COVID-19 shot
By J.M. Phelps / American Family News

American Family News conducted an informal and unscientific four-day poll in the article, where over 1,100 readers were surveyed regarding their experiences with the COVID-19 shot. Respondents were prompted to identify anyone they knew who claimed to have suffered adverse effects from the shot and to describe their relationship to that person.

The findings reveal that a staggering 71 percent of respondents either witnessed someone suffer the consequences of the shot or fell victim to some of the harrowing effects themselves.

Despite concerns regarding the informal and unscientific aspects of the poll and its shortcomings in accurately gauging the rate of shot-related injuries, Nicolas Hulscher—an Epidemiologist and Administrator at the McCullough Foundation—stated to AFN that the results were “a massive signal of public concern that should not be brushed aside.” He emphasized that “the sheer number of people reporting these experiences is impossible to ignore.”

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D., is a senior reporter for The Defender at Children’s Health Defense. Echoing the selection bias issues raised by Hulscher, Dr. Nevradakis acknowledged that “five percent of respondents say they were injured by the shots, and a significant number of additional respondents say they knew someone who was injured, provides an indication as to the extent of COVID-19 vaccine injuries that have occurred and that the mainstream media has largely ignored.”

He also pointed out that these findings align with a large-scale survey conducted in Germany in late 2024, which revealed that one in six Germans reported adverse reactions following vaccination. He emphasized the alarming number of COVID-19 shot injury reports documented in the federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), noting that studies indicate “less than one percent of vaccine injuries historically end up getting reported to that platform.”

What’s more, Nevradakis said, “The number of people coming forward to report vaccine injuries that they or their loved ones suffered would be higher if the mainstream media and mainstream medical establishments hadn’t made it such a taboo issue.”

He noted that many affected individuals are “reluctant to speak up,” because when they do, their concerns are frequently dismissed by healthcare professionals. This reluctance is compounded by a fear among doctors of facing repercussions from superiors or licensing boards for diagnosing patients with vaccine-related injuries.

The growing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 shot and its adverse effects have sparked significant dialogue, as illustrated by the recent poll and expert testimonies. As more individuals share their experiences, it becomes increasingly crucial for healthcare professionals and media outlets to engage with these concerns transparently and honestly.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear former Philadelphia Judge Mark B. Cohen’s last-ditch bid to undo his suspension for turning a public Facebook page, one that identified him as a sitting judge and showed him in his robes, into a Democrat cheering section for Joe Biden, Josh Shapiro, and the party line.

The justices denied certiorari without comment. Cohen, a Democrat who spent more than four decades in the Pennsylvania House before winning a Court of Common Pleas seat in 2018, had asked the high court to rule that the First Amendment shielded dozens of partisan posts he made while on the bench. It did not.

As The Hill reported, Pennsylvania’s judicial discipline system suspended him in 2024 over posts praising Democrats, including Biden and Gov. Josh Shapiro, and pushing policies such as raising the minimum wage.

That suspension was not a close call, and it was not a surprise.

The Judicial Conduct Board charged Cohen over scores of posts on a page that advertised his status as a Family Division judge.

The record, laid out in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s January 21, 2026, opinion and in the board’s filings, shows a longtime Democratic operative who never really left the campaign.

He called Biden an excellent president. He boosted Shapiro. He backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.

He criticized Republicans, including then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and took shots at the National Rifle Association.

He argued for more domestic spending and less military spending. He implicitly endorsed a congressional candidate and touted his own legislative record as a Democrat. The board called it what it was: “partisan cheerleading.”

He was warned. He kept posting. When someone on Facebook asked who was behind the complaint, Cohen answered that it was “Conservative people who want judges to be scared of their own shadow and completely silent on issues of societal improvements and social justice.”

The Court of Judicial Discipline later noted that no other case in its history involved that kind of defiance after a decision. On October 7, 2024, it suspended him without pay through the end of his term.

Pennsylvania law forced him off the bench anyway on December 31, 2024, when he hit the mandatory retirement age of 75.

Cohen appealed. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed in an opinion by Justice Kevin Dougherty. The court drew a line the U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized for judicial candidates, strict scrutiny under Republican Party of Minnesota v. White, and refused to hand the same protection to a sitting judge who was not running.

Outside a campaign, the court said, the state’s interest in an independent, impartial judiciary is weighed against the judge’s desire to speak. Here, the Commonwealth won.

“Here, we hold the Commonwealth’s interests in preserving the judiciary’s reputation for impartiality outweighed Judge Cohen’s interests, as a sitting judge who was not a candidate for judicial office, in publicly advocating for the Democratic Party on Facebook and espousing his partisan political views,” Dougherty wrote.

Cohen’s lawyers at DLA Piper told the U.S. Supreme Court its “guidance is sorely needed” and warned of a chilling effect. The Judicial Conduct Board, represented by Stanford Law School’s Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, said there is no precedent that lets a sitting judge use the office as a party microphone.

Four votes were required to take the case. Cohen did not get them. The Epoch Times noted the Court gave no explanation, which is standard on a cert denial.

The White House on Monday barred Politico from accessing Air Force One to cover the President’s rally in Nebraska, following a prior ban on CNN. 

CNN has been replaced by Real America’s Voice in the White House television pool several times during high-profile events and Trump’s trips on Air Force One since last month.

(VIDEO) CNN Replaced by Real America’s Voice on Air Force One Again – MS Now Has Lying Meltdown Threatening Boycott of Trump Coverage

Now, Politico is also being excluded from Air Force One.

In a note, CBS producer Josh Gross wrote to the White House press pool on Monday,

CBS News continues representing the TV networks in the White House out of town travel pool. 

Politico was scheduled to be today’s PRINT pooler on the plane, but was blocked from flying AF1 by the administration. The WH was unable to find a replacement. 

The Washington Post is the secondary print pooler and you will see updates from them.  As there is no primary print pooler, it’s been agreed that the TV pool notes will be shared simultaneously with the WHCA. 

Neither news organization is replacing Politico.  

The Washington Post correspondent Katherine Doyle also wrote in a pool report, “The White House has blocked today’s print pooler, Politico, from traveling on Air Force One. Since it was unable to find a replacement, there is no primary print pooler on this trip, and I will be sending reports as the secondary pooler. TV pool is also sending reports to print poolers simultaneously via WHCA.”

According to CNN, in a “show of solidarity,” other outlets in the White House print pool rotation uniformly declined to take Politico’s seat and print pool duties, which include sending notes with updates on the President’s movements to the rest of the media.

This comes after Trump blocked CNN from accessing Air Force One several times since attempting to ban the CNN, MS Now, and Politico from accessing the White House.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly granted a temporary restraining order reinstating their access to the White House grounds after the three outlets sued.

In the ongoing lawsuit, the outlets are now asking U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly for a preliminary injunction to extend their access to the White House until the case is resolved, as well as seeking restoration of their access to the President on Air Force One.

Kelly’s temporary restraining order is set to expire if he does not grant an injunction or extension of the TRO during a hearing this Thursday.

The Trump Administration is expected to quickly appeal Kelly’s ruling if he hands the outlets a win.

This is a developing story.

Summer is in our rearview mirror and fall is here. Shorter days, cooler temperatures, leaves changing, football back on tv, there is a lot to love about fall. Unfortunately, sweater weather means more than pumpkin spice lattes and the NFL on Sundays, it also means the beginning of respiratory illness season.

Unfortunately, it appears this year’s respiratory illness season is off to an early start:

Common respiratory illnesses tend to go hand in hand with the end of summer and start of fall, when students are back in the classroom and germs spread from kids to families and colleagues. 

Before you know it, everyone in your circle is reaching for a tissue. 

The traditional start of the season for the common cold, influenza and RSV is on the horizon, but cases of COVID-19 are ticking upward. 

This uptick in COVID cases is the first rise since spring:

For the first time since March, cases of coronavirus have seen increases in every state, with the sharpest rises in the South and West, according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC’s National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System, or NREVSS, is a lab-based system that monitors respiratory and enteric virus activity across the U.S.

Hospitalizations and deaths from COVID remain low, but health experts predict cases will continue to climb as immunity declines from earlier vaccinations and infections. 

It’s Not Just COVID

The start of respiratory illness season isn’t just about the return of COVID, it’s also about the return of the common cold, RSV, and – of course – the flu.

While these are different illnesses, they are transmitted in much the same ways, according to Dr. Peter McCullough:

These viruses spread through three primary routes:

• Droplet— Coughing and sneezing launch virus-laden particles that land on mucosal surfaces. A single sneeze produces ~40,000 droplets traveling at ~100 mph.

• Fomite— Rhinovirus survives hours on doorknobs, phones, keyboards. You touch, you transfer to eyes/nose/mouth, you’re infected. This is arguably the dominant route for rhinovirus specifically.

• Direct contact— Handshakes, hugs, close-quarters conversations. Skin-to-skin then skin-to-face.

Incubation is typically 24–72 hours. Peak contagiousness occurs during the first 2–3 days of symptoms. Even though there may be more congestion on days 5-7, there is less spread. The average adult logs 2–4 colds annually; children in daycare can hit 6–8.

Not only are the paths of transmission similar, many of the symptoms are so similar that they can be difficult at times to tell one from the other.

Some symptoms are hard to distinguish among illnesses, especially with respiratory viruses. Others are unmistakable.

— The common cold can be caused by several different types of viruses and can cause a runny nose, congestion, cough, sneezing, sore throat, headaches, body aches or low fever for less than a week.

— The flu, caused by influenza viruses that are always changing, leads to fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headaches and feeling tired. Flu symptoms tend to hit more quickly than cold symptoms, and can last anywhere from a few days to two weeks.

— COVID-19 can cause fever, chills, cough, short of breath, sore throat, congestion, loss of smell or taste, fatigue, aches, headache, nausea, or vomiting for several days.

— RSV can cause a runny nose, congestion, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, fever and a loss of appetite for a week or two.

Last Year Trump Stockpiled Medications

As a result of last year’s horrific respiratory illness season, marked by one of the worst flu seasons in decades, President Trump directed the federal government to accumulate essential pharmaceuticals, such as antivirals and the components of more than 80 vital medications.

“To prevent shortages in the future, we are accumulating a six-month supply of essential medications.”

— White House Fact Sheet, September 2025

If the Trump administration thinks stocking up on meds is a good idea, doesn’t it make sense for you to do the same?
