Gabbard Targets Impeachment Origins With DOJ Criminal Referral

By John Solomon and Misty Severi | Just The News "ODNI can confirm a criminal referral was sent to DOJ related to one or more former employees of the Intelligence Community and their role in the 2019 impeachment of President Trump," an ODNI spokesperson told Just The News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday referred the 2019 Ukraine impeachment whistleblower against Donald Trump, as well as the former intelligence community inspector general, for criminal investigation by the Justice Department, officials told Just The News.  The criminal referrals were sent to the Justice Department just four days after Gabbard declassified intelligence that the CIA analyst who filed against Trump that prompted the impeachment had misled the inves...

Ambitious Climate Targets In Boulder Clash With Energy Realities

By Kevin Killough | Just the News Boulder, Colorado is suing oil companies for climate change and setting aggressive emission-reductions target. A Just the News analysis shows the city is unlikely to reach either of those goals, but the city says it's not backing down. When it comes to anti-fossil fuel policies, few cities have pursued them with as much gusto as Boulder, Colorado. In 2006, Boulder became one of the first local governments in the nation to adopt emission reduction targets. Then in 2019, the city went into a full-blown panic over emissions, declared a “climate emergency,” and exponentially increased its targets. While progressive cities feel good setting targets to eliminate the use of fossil fuels, achieving those targets is another thing entirely.&nb...

Artemis II Astronauts Make History With Record Breaking Journey Past Moon

By Misty Severi | Just The News Mission specialist Jeremy Hansen honored the legacy of the Apollo missions in a message after the crew broke Apollo 13's record. The crew has traveled over 252,000 miles now. The crew of the Artemis II lunar mission broke a record Monday when they traveled further than Apollo 13's record of 248,655 miles from Earth. The crew also began their lunar flyby, which included the first glimpses humans have ever seen of parts of the lunar dark side. The lunar flyby is expected to last six hours and the crew will be divided into pairs to look out of the Orion spacecraft's windows. Mission specialist Jeremy Hansen honored the legacy of the Apollo missions in a message after the crew broke Apollo 13's record. The crew h...

Federal Immigration Law Remains Untested Against Sanctuary Policies

By Just the News Contributor | Just the News DOJ has recently signaled interest in using the law – § 1324 – more aggressively. But as of early 2026, no prosecution of a sheriff or comparable official for detainer noncompliance has gone forward. A federal law on the books makes it a crime to harbor or transport an illegal alien – punishable by up to a decade in prison. But the Justice Department has never used the law against the local officials and organizations most visibly defying federal immigration enforcement, despite years of escalating conflict over “sanctuary” policies. Across the country, cities, counties and states have adopted measures that limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under so-called "sanctuary" policies, local law enforceme...

Supreme Court Signals Doubt On Trump Push To End Birthright Citizenship

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News “Birthright citizenship has been the rule for a very long time,” Justice Elena Kagan said. The Supreme Court on Wednesday mostly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's argument to end birthright citizenship for babies born to parents who are not U.S. citizens. Solicitor Gen. D. John Sauer argued Wednesday before the high court, with President Trump in attendance, that birthright citizenship “rewards illegal immigration” and urged the justices to rule that the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants should not be deemed as citizens at birth, the Los Angeles Times reported. Most of the justices, on the 9-member bench, said the Constitution had been interpreted for more than a century to gra...

FCC Bans Foreign Routers Over Chinese Cyber Threat Concerns

By Steven Richards | Just the News The Intelligence Community previously assessed that Chinese hackers were burrowing into U.S. network infrastructure to lie in wait for future attacks. The problem might be found in the countries of origin were routers are manufactured. The Federal Communications Commission took radical action this week to ban the import of internet routers manufactured in foreign countries, citing the unacceptable security risks posed by Chinese hackers to U.S. critical infrastructure. Internet routers connect computers, cellphones, and other electronic devices to the internet. In the modern, digital economy, routers are everywhere, used by citizens, businesses, schools, utility providers, emergency services, and the U.S. military. More than 90% of ...

Federal Decree Limits Government Role In Social Media Moderation

By Greg Piper | Just the News 10-year agreement binds surgeon general, CDC, DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Feds agree not to stop Louisiana, Missouri and individual plaintiffs from seeking attorney's fees as "prevailing parties." Nearly two years after the Supreme Court killed free speech, in the telling of future National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, by letting the Biden administration resume pressuring tech platforms to censor disfavored narratives on COVID-19, elections and Hunter Biden, the Trump administration has made the plaintiffs' wildest dreams come true. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, who imposed the sweeping preliminary injunction on the feds before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals n...

Supreme Court Weighs Election Day Deadline For Mail In Ballots

By Andrew Rice | Just the News (The Center Square) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday will hear arguments in a consequential case to determine at what point states can accept and count mail-in ballots. The case, Watson v. RNC, challenges a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots to be received up to five days after Election Day, as long as the ballot is postmarked by Election Day. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia also allow mail-in ballots to be received after Election Day. Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, said the case would give an opportunity for mail-in ballot laws to be uniform across the country. “Federal law clearly states that ballots must be received by Election Day,” Snead told The Center Square. “Despite...

American Citizen Now Leads Violent Mexican Cartel As Court Reviews Birthright Policy

By Steven Richards | Just the News A California-born U.S. citizen whose mother is a Mexican national and is reportedly part of a drug and money laundering cartel herself, has now taken the helm of Mexico’s most dangerous cartel as the Supreme Court is set to consider a Trump administration challenge to the very birthright policy that granted him that citizenship.  Multiple reports indicate that the 41-year-old Juan Carlos Valencia González, a dual U.S. and Mexican citizen, took charge of the notorious "Jalisco New Generation" cartel (CJNG) in the aftermath of a Mexican special forces raid that took out the cartel’s former boss, El Mencho, last month. The raid was the most direct action Mexican authorities have taken against the cartels in coordination with the United S...
