Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) announced on Friday that she will not seek re-election in 2026, saying “the energy required doesn’t match up.” “It’s an incredible honor to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, and throughout my time here, Wyoming has been my one-and-only priority,” Lummis said in a statement posted to X. “Deciding not to run for reelection does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years left in me,” she continued. “I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon,” the Wyoming Republican added. Thank you, Wyoming! Serving our state has been the honor of my life. – Cynthia Lummis pic.twitter.com/FoRTlHaHxI — Cynthia Lummis (@CynthiaMLummis) December 19, 2025 Fox News shared further: Lummis has been a champion for cryptocurrency legislation in the Senate, penning the GENIUS Act. The Wyoming Republican has also been an advocate for American energy during her tenure, including coal, oil and gas. Sworn in Jan. 3, 2021, Lummis is the first woman to serve as a senator for the Equality State. “Cynthia Lummis is a perfect senator for Wyoming. From Miss Frontier Days to the Wyoming Legislature to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – Cynthia has never stopped fighting for the people of Wyoming,” Senate Majority Whip Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) said. “Cynthia is a straight shooter and a trailblazer. We’re going to miss her infectious energy and iconic laugh in the halls of the U.S. Senate. I’m grateful we have another year to work side by side serving the people of Wyoming,” he added. Cynthia Lummis is a perfect senator for Wyoming.

Joni Ernst (Iowa), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.). It also means another primary could be on tap. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) is considered a top-tier option to run in her place next year in what is among the reddest states on the map. The primary is set for mid-August. No Democrat has held a Senate seat in Wyoming since 1977.

As we previously reported here on WLT Report: As promised, President Trump just officially launched a lawsuit against the BBC for a whopping $10 billion. He is suing for defamation after the BBC aired a deceptively-manipulated clip of President Trump’s J6 speech to try to fit into the “insurrection” narrative. For reference, here’s a comparison of the original and BBC’s edited version of the clip: BREAKING: President Trump has officially filed a $10 BILLION lawsuit against BBC for their deceptive edit of his speech, which was intended to look like he was calling for vioIence on J6 BANKRUPT that foreign fake news rag, 47!

Watch: BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will officially be filing the lawsuit against the BBC “this afternoon or tomorrow morning” The BBC is finished. pic.twitter.com/GJf0e1nGPS — Inevitable West (@Inevitablewest) December 15, 2025 The lawsuit was officially filed this evening. Fox News has more details: President Donald Trump filed a monster $10 billion lawsuit on Monday against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for its 2024 “Panorama” documentary that distorted his Jan. 6 remarks. Trump sued the BBC for both defamation and for a violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act for $5 billion apiece, as the president is seeking $10 billion total. The suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida Federal Court, was filed in a personal capacity and names BBC and BBC studios productions as defendants. “The formerly respected and now disgraced BBC defamed President Trump by intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively doctoring his speech in a brazen attempt to interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election. The BBC has a long pattern of deceiving its audience in coverage of President Trump, all in service of its own leftist political agenda. President Trump’s powerhouse lawsuit is holding the BBC accountable for its defamation and reckless election interference just as he has held other fake news mainstream media responsible for their wrongdoing,” a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital. Trump is represented by attorneys Alejandro Brito, Edward Paltzik and Daniel Epstein. The BBC has come under intense scrutiny over the documentary about Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech delivered before the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Critics claim the documentary was wildly misleading because it omitted Trump’s call for supporters to protest peacefully. The lawsuit states: “The BBC, faced with overwhelming and justifiable outrage on both sides of the Atlantic, has publicly admitted its staggering breach of journalistic ethics, and apologized, but has made no showing of actual remorse for its wrongdoing nor meaningful institutional changes to prevent future journalistic abuses.” Last month, President Trump threatened to sue the BBC unless they apologized and offered compensation. The BBC did end up releasing an apology but refused to compensate him. CNBC noted: The BBC apologized to Trump on Nov. 13 and promised not to air the documentary again or show it on any of its platforms. “While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim,” the broadcaster said in a statement on Nov. 13.

Trump baited the Dems/MSM into caring about Epstein via the Streisand Effect, and now they are trapped. They have been screaming about the Epstein files for months now, under the impression it leads to “getting” Trump. SURPRISE! It leads to Clinton and the Dems! The Dems were successfully psyopped into demanding the release of the Epstein files. Trump weaponized their Trump derangement syndrome. But most importantly, now the Dems will not be able to call it a conspiracy theory or claim it was politically motivated, because they are the ones who asked for this. We made them beg for it. Congrats Libs. You have been duped. Trump warned us about Bill Clinton and Epstein all the way back in 2015. You didn’t listen. You claimed it was a conspiracy theory. Trump was right again!

I hope there is a good explanation: I’m not exactly sure how Michael Jackson plays into all this, but he was closely connected to Epstein, Clinton, and financially in bed with corrupt Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to “overhaul” the recommended childhood vaccine schedule, CNN claims. According to the outlet, the unfinalized plan, which could still change, would recommend fewer vaccinations. US Department of Health and Human Services plans to overhaul childhood vaccine schedule to recommend fewer shots, source sayshttps://t.co/MJOSeojaS6 — CNN (@CNN) December 19, 2025 CNN shared more: The expectation is that the US schedule will be close to, if not identical to, recommendations in Denmark, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak about the matter. The plan has not been finalized and could still change. HHS had planned to make the announcement Friday afternoon, the person said, but it was pushed to 2026 so as not to conflict with White House plans to announce further efforts to lower drug costs through “Most Favored Nation” pricing. An HHS spokesperson declined to comment and referred questions to the agency’s earlier statement that it had postponed a “children’s health announcement” until next year. The planned overhaul comes weeks after President Donald Trump ordered officials to review the childhood vaccine schedule and weigh recommending fewer shots. “It is ridiculous!” Trump wrote earlier this month in a Truth Social post about the current US schedule. “That is why I have just signed a Presidential memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to ‘FAST TRACK’ a comprehensive evaluation of Vaccine Schedules from other Countries around the World, and better align the U.S. Vaccine Schedule.” Notably, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, recently voted 8-3 to end the blanket recommendation that all newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. The panel, hand-selected by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recommended consultation with a health care provider and individual decision-making. Vaccine Advisory Panel Takes Critical Vote On Hepatitis B Shot NewsNation explained further: Currently, Denmark does not recommend vaccinating children against respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, whereas the U.S. does. RSV is the leading cause of infant hospitalization, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The U.S. population exceeds 340 million, compared with just over 6 million in Denmark. Denmark also faces a different mix of infectious disease risks and recommends vaccines for just 10 diseases associated with serious illness or death. President Donald Trump has criticized the U.S. childhood vaccination schedule, claiming it requires 72 vaccines for otherwise healthy babies — though he didn’t explain how he arrived at that number. The U.S currently recommends childhood immunization against 17 diseases, more than many other countries, reflecting higher disease prevalence in some areas.
