Billions flow to green groups after EPA’s 2009 carbon ruling

By Brett Rowland | The Center Square via Just the News Fed grants to organizations increased from $350 million in 2009 to nearly $1.4 billion in 2023, analysis finds. Changes to the Environmental Protection Agency's strict regulations on the automobile industry could cost nonprofit groups that reported a 267% funding bump in the years since the federal agency's 2009 Endangerment Finding, a rule that provided a legal basis for the agency to regulate vehicle emissions and the energy industry through the Clean Air Act. Democracy Restored, a nonprofit dedicated to showing how government works, reviewed the tax returns of more than 75 of the top nonprofit organizations focused on climate change. Funding for those 75 groups has increased significantly since 2009 with their bottom lines ...

Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot near site of Charlie Kirk’s murder

By Jerry Dunleavy, Gelet Fragela and Steven Richards | Just the News The group trains gay, queer, and transgender people to arm themselves and fight against capitalism and the American system. There is at this time no evidence linking the group to Tyler Robinson, Kirk's accused assassin. Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America’s most conservative states. Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism. Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to enc...

State Department Warns Foreigners Who Promote Violence Are Not Welcome in America

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The State Department said that "foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome" to the U.S., following the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. "In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted on X on Thursday. "I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people." ...

FBI insider’s China connections spark new concerns over Biden-linked leaks

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just The News The former FBI official who leaked details of a criminal investigation to a Chinese company with a relationship with a Hunter Biden client was over the years involved in a wide range of investigations, from Wikileaks to Crossfire Hurricane. It remains to be seen which ones may have been tainted. The since-convicted FBI counterintelligence leader, who leaked information about a criminal investigation into a Chinese company linked to Hunter Biden’s business efforts, had previously played what he claimed in his defense to have had supervisory roles in a wide range of investigations. Charles McGonigal, now known to have leaked sensitive information to China-linked targets of an FBI investigation he was helping oversee, played a role in a host of other...

Air Force admits decorated pilot suffered religious discrimination over COVID vaccine mandate

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The Air Force Review Board found that pilot “was discriminated against on the basis of religion" for objection to orders to take the COVID vaccination. On “all fronts, this is a huge win,” pilot's attorney R. Davis Younts said. The Air Force found that a pilot who faced separation from the military for requesting a religious exemption to the flu vaccine was discriminated against for his religion and should not have been reprimanded. Major Brennan Schilperoort, who has served in the Air Force for 17 years and was a whistleblower over the COVID-19 vaccine, can now request the military branch give him backpay and restore his flight status after he was reprimanded when his Religious Accommodation Request (RAR) wasn’t processed. Schilperoo...

FDA Launches Review Into Reported Child Deaths After COVID Shots

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News The Food and Drug Administration is investigating reports of child deaths after COVID-19 vaccination, agency Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said. "We do know at the FDA, because we've been looking into the [Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System] database self-reports, that there had been children who have died from the COVID vaccine," Makary said Thursday, MedPage Today reported. Makary said the agency would release a report in the coming weeks on how many deaths were caused by the vaccine. He also said the FDA is talking with family members of the deceased children, reviewing autopsy reports and having physicians do the review. "We think the public deserves to have that information," Makary said. He also said children, particularly boy...

Cyberattack cripples Nevada state services

By Liam Hibbert | Just the News (The Center Square) - Nevada state government services were still limited Wednesday morning after the discovery of a statewide cyberattack. Emergency services remained open, but many state-run websites and offices were closed Wednesday.

Across Nevada, government employees were placed on administrative leave Monday. While many returned on Tuesday, others were still not back in the office on Wednesday. The Center Square was unable to access the Nevada executive bran...

Clinton email scandal revisited: FBI had its own private server issues

By Steven Richards | Just the News Months after he refused to charge Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election for using a private, unauthorized server to transmit classified information, then-FBI Director James Comey's inner circle used personal email accounts to further a plan to make an "unauthorized disclosure" to journalists, newly declassified memos reveal. When investigators in a criminal probe codenamed "TROPIC VORTEX" sought permission in 2019 to gain access to those private emails, federal prosecutors turned them down, according to the memos recently uncovered by current FBI Director Kash Patel and declassified for release to Congress by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington DC "issued a prosecutorial declination decision for TROPIC VORTEX,"...

U.S. Immigrant Numbers Fall for First Time in Decades Amid Trump Enforcement

By Caroline Boda | Just the News (The Center Square) - The foreign-born population in the United States shrunk this year for the first time since the 1960s, according to new data from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. After rapidly growing for more than 50 years, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. reached a record high of 53.3 million in January 2025. The following months showed a decline of nearly 1.5 million, a likely mark of President Donald Trump’s second-term immigration policies. The new Pew study shows that more people are leaving the U.S. than are entering it, the first time this has happened in more than half a century. The analysis also found that the number of noncitizens in the U.S. illegally reached a record high of 14 million in 2023, a trend which Tru...
