Matt Van Epps Wins Tennessee’s 7th District Special Election, Securing Key GOP Hold

Republican Matt Van Epps defeated Democrat Aftyn Behn in the closely watched special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, maintaining GOP control of the seat. The race, though competitive, underscored the difficulty of flipping House seats in special elections. Analysts suggest Democrats may have performed better with a moderate candidate, while the result may embolden more Republicans to retire, believing the party still holds a manageable House majority. The win also highlights the impact of Tennessee’s redistricting, which split Nashville’s Democratic base across multiple Republican-leaning districts.

Last November, the American people gave Republicans a clear mandate to clean up the mess Joe Biden and the Democrats created — and we’ve delivered:

BREAKING: In a huge blow to the Democrats' narrative, President Trump has been working up to 12-HOUR DAYS over the past month, according to White House logs.

He's been averaging 50-hour work weeks, NOT counting weekends.

This is DESPITE the NYT claiming Trump is showing signs he's 'unfit for office' and has lagging health, per NYP.

THE DUDE'S A MACHINE!

“Save money and freedom. Lead the democrats out of their corrupt ways!”

Make it happen!

President Trump shares the specific U.S. statute that Sen. Mark Kelly, along with other Congressional Democrats, may have violated through their actions.

“DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE!!!”

“There are laws that impact our Nation. Read Title 18, Chapter 115, Section 2387, “Whoever with the intent to interfere, impair, influence the loyalty, moral or discipline of the military and Naval Forces,……to be fined or imprisoned up to 10 years.” Commander Kirk Lippold, U.S. Navy, Ret. This is right on point.”

Make an example or it happens AGAIN.

Voters Snub Trump as Zohran Mamdani Becomes NYC’s First Muslim Mayor.

Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the new mayor of New York City, marking a historic moment for America’s largest metropolis. At just 34, he becomes the city’s youngest mayor since 1892 and its first Muslim and first African-born leader.

Mamdani’s victory is extraordinary on several levels. Entering the race with little name recognition, limited funding, and no major party backing, he managed to defeat two political heavyweights former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

But beyond the upset, voters sent a loud political message. President Trump had earlier warned that he would stop federal funding for New York if residents elected another Democratic mayor. New Yorkers didn’t budge.

They overwhelmingly backed Mamdani, signaling they would not be intimidated or influenced by threats from Washington.

Mamdani represents a new wave of progressive Democrats pushing for bold reforms. Known for his charisma, digital fluency, and unapologetically left-wing agenda, he has championed policies like free childcare, expanded public transportation, and tougher oversight of private enterprise.

Democrats in Congress have released a note they say US President Donald Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.

US Revokes More Than 6,000 International Student Visas

The US State Department has revoked over 6,000 international student visas due to violations of law and overstays, officials confirmed to the BBC.

The department said the “vast majority” of cases involved criminal offenses such as assault, burglary, and driving under the influence (DUI), while several hundred were linked to what it described as “support for terrorism.” Officials did not clarify the definition, though the Trump administration has previously targeted students who protested in support of Palestine, labeling some of their actions as antisemitic.

Of the revoked visas, about 4,000 were tied to criminal violations, while 200–300 were linked to terrorism under the Immigration and Nationality Act’s Section 3B, which defines terrorist activity broadly as acts that endanger human life or violate US law.

The move comes as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing crackdown on immigration and international students. Earlier this year, the State Department paused student visa appointments, later resuming them with new requirements for applicants to make their social media accounts public for enhanced vetting. Officials said they were screening for signs of hostility toward US citizens, institutions, or culture, as well as support for designated terrorist groups.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in May that “thousands” of student visas had already been rescinded, adding, “We probably have more to do.” Democrats have criticized the effort, calling it an attack on due process.

More than 1.1 million international students from over 210 countries studied in US colleges during the 2023–24 academic year, according to Open Doors.

US Billionaire Elon Musk Announces New 'America Party' To Rival Republicans, Democrats.

Elon Musk, a former ally of US President Donald Trump, said he launched the party to challenge what the tech billionaire described as the country’s “one-party system.”

United States tech mogul and billionaire, Elon Musk, has announced the formation of ‘America Party’, a new political party in the US.

Musk made the declaration on Saturday, a day after asking his followers on X whether a new political party should be created.

Elon Musk, a former ally of US President Donald Trump, said he launched the party to challenge what the tech billionaire described as the country’s “one-party system.”

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk, who had a bitter falling out with Trump after leading the president’s effort to slash spending and cut federal jobs, posted on X.

“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

Democrats Arrested In Fraud Investigation – Trump Was RIGHT Again.

Indictments have been issued in Texas as part of a sweeping investigation into alleged illegal ballot harvesting, with a former Democratic Party County Chair and eight others now facing serious charges. Juan Manuel Medina, who previously served as the Bexar County Democratic Chair and also ran for mayor of San Antonio, has been named in a pair of vote-harvesting indictments. The development stems from an ongoing probe led by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose office has been investigating election-related irregularities across multiple counties.

Documents linked to the case indicate that Medina was allegedly involved in efforts to secure votes for Democrat Cecilia Castellano, who ran unsuccessfully in 2024 for the Texas House District 80 seat, losing to Republican Don McLaughlin.

Allegations in the indictment suggest that offers of compensation or benefits were made to two individuals, Rachel Leal and former Dilley Council Member Inelda Rodriguez, in February 2024, in exchange for participation in vote-harvesting activities. Castellano, Leal, and Rodriguez were also included among those indicted.

Castellano’s attorney has rejected all allegations, asserting that no unlawful actions took place. Don Flanary, her legal counsel, argued that the charges appear to lack strong evidence and may discourage future political involvement, according to reporting from The Texas Tribune.

Donald Trump Amplifies Bizarre Theory Claiming Joe Biden Was Replaced by a Clone

On Saturday night, former U.S. President Donald Trump shared a strange and controversial post on his social media platform, Truth Social. The post claimed that President Joe Biden actually died in 2020 and has since been replaced by a clone or other artificial stand-in.

The original message, written by a user named “llijh,” stated:

“There is no Joe Biden — executed in 2020. Biden clones, doubles, and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. Democrats don’t know the difference.”

Trump did not comment directly on the claim but re-shared it without any explanation, leading to widespread confusion and intense debate online.

Social media quickly lit up, with reactions ranging from disbelief to conspiracy-fueled excitement.

“We all knew something was off,” one user commented, referencing Trump’s past remarks suggesting harm had come to Biden.
Another added, “I can’t believe President Trump just reTRUTHED this,” referring to Trump’s action of resharing posts on Truth Social.

As the post gained traction, Trump’s replies section was filled with speculation, conspiracy theories, and cheering supporters.

“Well, you just went there! Go you! The truth is coming! Buckle up!” one excited follower wrote.

Despite the attention, the theory remains completely baseless and unfounded — part of a growing trend of viral misinformation circulating on fringe platforms.
