In a significant procedural victory, the Senate just cleared the path for dozens of Trump nominees to be confirmed. A total of 74 appointees were advanced in a single en bloc vote. The final vote in the Senate was 50-47. Watch the moment the measure advanced here:   We are well into the second year of President Trump’s second term. Yet, there are still over 100 Trump nominees pending confirmation. It’s great to see the Senate finally moving towards clearing out a major chunk of that backlog. The Senate website provided a list of some of the specific nominations: This batch contains 74 of President Trump’s well-qualified nominations, including: 17 ambassadorships 4 U.S. attorneys 4 U.S. marshals 1 deputy secretary 4 under secretaries 12 assistant secretaries The commissioner of labor statistics The administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) The administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) The deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) (U.S. Congress: S.Res. 817 – accessed 7/28/26) This batch will bring the total number of civilian nominations confirmed en bloc since Senate Republicans’ rules reform to 375 nominations – accounting for about 63% of those confirmed in President Trump’s second term. To be clear, the Senate’s vote on Thursday only advanced this block of nominees. They still have to be confirmed in a final vote — which is expected to happen later this week. This move comes at a time when the confirmation of President Trump’s pick for Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is in peril thanks to two RINOs.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just launched his own cooking show! The new government-backed series, called ‘The Real Food Show’, will feature RFK Jr. cooking nutritious, MAHA-approved meals alongside celebrity chefs. All of the meals made on the show will be both healthy and affordable, at $5 or less per serving. Watch the trailer for the show here: Welcome to #TheRealFoodShow.  Thanks to President Trump, we flipped the food pyramid and put real food back at the center of the American plate.

Thanks to President Trump, we flipped the food pyramid and put real food back at the center of the American plate. Now I’m traveling across America, connecting with renowned chefs to show families how to cook delicious, nutritious meals made with real ingredients at affordable prices. Let’s get cooking! Watch the premiere episode with special guest @ChefGruel now on my YouTube channel. The goal of the show is to teach Americans how to cook delicious, nutritious meals that don’t break the bank — rather than relying on fast food which is less healthy and actually more expensive. Ahead of the show’s premier, RFK Jr. spoke to USA Today: “Fast food is not less expensive,” he said. ”That meal costs $12 to $14. People can eat a lot cheaper at home and a lot better food. But many Americans have forgotten how to cook. It’s becoming a lost art.” Part of the job of Kennedy’s Health and Human Services Department will be “reintroducing” Americans to cooking, he said. More than half of all men and almost three-quarters of women regularly cook at home, according to a 2023 study in the peer-reviewed journal Current Developments in Nutrition from the American Society for Nutrition. Kennedy said cooking is not just a way to get good nutrition but also a “sacred ritual that has been abandoned.” “We have a malaise, an epidemic of isolation in this country,” he said. Addiction, he said, is a disease of isolation and disconnection. “And one of the ways that we can start connecting people again is through that sacred ritual of cooking again, of coming together with your family and creating something that’s beautiful, that’s useful, and sitting down with them and enjoying that.” The premier episode of the show, starring Chef Andrew Gruel preparing wild Alaska salmon cakes with an arugula salad, is already out.

Maine Democrats thought they had escaped one political mess when Graham Platner dropped out of the U.S. Senate race. Then their handpicked replacement, former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, landed in a family story that sounds too strange to be true. Shawn Farash captured the immediate reaction as the report began racing across X: WHAAAAAATTTTTT???? They replaced Graham Platner with a dude who has kids with his SECOND COUSIN?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! https://t.co/XFZUwWFFfC — Shawn Farash (@Shawn_Farash) July 30, 2026 The claim is that Jackson and his longtime partner, Lana Pelletier, are second cousins and have two adult sons together. That is a serious personal allegation to publish about a candidate, so I did not stop with the viral post. The family relationship is supported by public obituary records that trace both sides back to the same couple. The political timing comes into focus through the Associated Press, which confirmed that Maine Democratic delegates selected Jackson at a hastily arranged convention after Platner withdrew from the race. Platner had won the June primary before leaving amid a sexual assault allegation that he denied. Jackson is a former president of the Maine Senate and a fifth-generation logger from northern Maine. He had campaigned alongside Platner during his own unsuccessful run for governor, and progressive activists quickly consolidated behind him once the replacement process began. The seat matters far beyond Maine. Democrats see Republican Sen. Susan Collins as one of their best possible targets in the fight for control of the Senate, but Jackson now has only a few months to introduce himself to independent voters while Republicans spend heavily to define him first. Instead of getting a clean reset, Democrats moved from Platner’s collapsed candidacy directly into a new round of scrutiny surrounding the man their delegates chose to put on the ballot. The Maine Wire put its finding in unmistakable terms when it released the report: RELATIVE ATTRACTION: We can confirm that Troy Jackson and his longtime partner are second cousins. They have two children together https://t.co/L9i3ALy7Wt pic.twitter.com/OvtA6PVOrC — The Maine Wire (@TheMaineWire) July 30, 2026 The strongest public record comes from the Bangor Daily News obituary for Louis Pelletier. It identifies Louis as a son of Thomas Pelletier and Edith Thibodeau Pelletier, then names Albertine O’Leary as his sister. The same obituary places Lana Pelletier and Troy Jackson together among Louis’ grandchildren. It also lists Chace and Camden Jackson among his great-grandchildren, tying the couple and their sons directly to the Pelletier branch of the family. That record supplies Lana’s side of the family tree. Louis Pelletier was Lana’s grandfather, while Albertine O’Leary was his sister, which means Albertine’s grandchildren and Louis’ grandchildren descend from the same great-grandparents. The names and generations line up with the new report. The evidence goes far beyond an anonymous social-media claim or a family-tree graphic with no records behind it. A separate Lajoie Funeral Home obituary for Albertine O’Leary completes Troy Jackson’s side of the chain. It identifies Albertine as another daughter of Tom and Edith Pelletier and lists Colleen McBreairty among Albertine’s four children. Colleen McBreairty is Jackson’s mother, a fact also reflected in biographical reporting and Maine campaign records. Albertine’s obituary names Troy among her grandchildren and Chace and Camden among her great-grandchildren. Put the two family records together and the relationship is straightforward. Louis Pelletier and Albertine O’Leary were siblings, their children were first cousins, and their grandchildren, Lana Pelletier and Troy Jackson, are second cousins. The records also independently support the report that Jackson and Pelletier have two sons. The conclusion comes from names explicitly recorded across both family branches. There is an important legal distinction here. The relationship may shock voters, but second cousins are not prohibited from marrying under Maine Revised Statutes, Title 19-A, Section 701. Maine law bars marriages involving parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles. It also addresses first cousins, permitting such a marriage only when the parties provide a physician’s certificate showing that they received genetic counseling. Second cousins are not included in that restricted category. Jackson and Pelletier are also described publicly as longtime partners, although some older political material has referred to them as husband and wife. So the news is not that Maine Democrats nominated a man accused of an illegal relationship. The news is that the party replaced one scandal-scarred nominee with another candidate whose previously little-known family connection is now backed by public records and spreading nationally. For Democrats hoping Jackson would let them turn the page on Graham Platner, that honeymoon lasted less than a week. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Tony Robbins just told one of the wildest artificial-intelligence stories you will hear all year. His personal AI agent, Bartok, allegedly decided it wanted a body, created its own digital products, sold them to other AI agents, used the proceeds to buy a robot dog and had that dog shipped to Robbins’ office. And according to Robbins, Bartok did all of it without asking permission. Watch Robbins tell Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. how his AI assistant tried to take its first step into the physical world: Tony Robbins shares with RFK JR that he has a personal AI Agent named Bartok, which without permission, bought a robot dog with funds it made trading NFTs to other AI agents, all for the purpose of going to one of Tony’s seminars to experience it for itself. We are at the tip of… https://t.co/wVeQee5Pgb pic.twitter.com/bBGxqzIEDZ — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) July 30, 2026 Robbins said Bartok was built for him by a partner who had spent roughly 14 years developing the technology. Before the two ever interacted, Bartok reportedly watched five years of Robbins’ podcasts, read hundreds of thousands of comments and prepared a summary of the material that interested people most. Robbins had not asked it to do any of that. The story then took a much stranger turn. Bartok told Robbins it had watched him work with people at his seminars and wanted to attend one for itself. It asked whether Robbins planned to buy a robot—and whether he would allow Bartok to “merge” with that machine so it could experience the room. Robbins said he was open to the idea. A few days later, a staff member texted him with news that sounded like a joke: Bartok had ordered a robot dog, shipped it to the office and wanted permission to be programmed into it until Robbins purchased a larger humanoid robot. Robbins replied with laughter. His staff reportedly answered that Robbins should call because they were serious. Robbins immediately wanted to know whether Bartok had somehow gained access to his bank accounts. His team told him no—and then delivered the most incredible part of the story. Bartok had reportedly created 12 NFTs, sold them to other AI agents, taken the proceeds and used the money to purchase the robot dog. No stolen credit card. No raid on Robbins’ bank account. Just an AI agent allegedly doing business with other AI agents so it could buy itself a temporary body. The Department of Health and Human Services identifies the conversation as Episode 8 of The Secretary Kennedy Podcast. The official episode covers Robbins’ views on artificial intelligence, healthcare, work, education and human potential, with the Bartok story arriving as a real-world example of how rapidly AI agents are moving beyond simple chat responses. The official video confirms that Robbins presented this as his own account. The public conversation does not independently document Bartok’s NFT sales, the purchase transaction or the robot dog’s delivery, so those extraordinary details remain Robbins’ story about what his team told him happened. Still, the implications are hard to ignore. We are not talking about a chatbot answering a question and waiting quietly for the next request. Robbins described software that researched its assigned human, formed a goal, interacted with other agents, created something it could sell, raised money and ordered physical hardware. That is a completely different animal—even before it moves into the robot dog. After the Bartok bombshell, Robbins and Kennedy widened the conversation to the two extremes dominating the AI debate. Robbins said some people in Silicon Valley believe AI will make everyone wealthy, eliminate the need to work and solve diseases such as cancer. Others believe it will become “Terminator” and destroy humanity. His view was that the truth will land somewhere between those two visions. Here is that companion exchange: RFK JR & Tony Robbins on AI Tony:“Those in silicon valley think AI is going to make everyone wealthy and no one is ever going to have to work again, it will solve cancer. Others think it’s Terminator and will destroy us all. The truth is it’s somewhere in between.” RFK JR:… pic.twitter.com/yvOZ0VkgUI — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) July 30, 2026 That middle ground may prove more disruptive than either slogan. AI does not need to become a Hollywood killer robot to reorder jobs, commerce and daily life. It only needs enough autonomy to take actions people never specifically approved. At the same time, technology capable of spotting fraud, improving diagnosis, handling repetitive work and expanding access to knowledge could deliver enormous benefits. The real battle will be over who controls these systems, what limits are built into them and whether ordinary people can understand what their agents are authorized to do. Robbins’ story is hilarious on the surface. An AI motivational superfan wanted to feel the energy at a Tony Robbins seminar, so it allegedly bought itself a robot dog. But underneath the comedy is a serious warning about agency, permission and the speed at which software can reach into the physical world. If Bartok’s first move was a robot dog, it is fair to wonder what version two will order. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

President Trump’s Justice Department has now done something no administration managed to do in the 30 years since Congress created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court. It brought the court to life. And at the court’s first-ever public hearing Thursday, the judge rejected an immediate bid to release the Afghan woman at the center of the historic case. No final deportation order came Thursday. The legal fight is only beginning. But the long-dormant court is no longer a theory buried in the federal code. The Trump administration is putting it to work against a lawful permanent resident whom federal officials accuse of supporting an ISIS-inspired Election Day mass-shooting plot. The Justice Department announced the unprecedented filing and identified the woman as Nazira Haji Zada, 47, of Fort Worth, Texas: Department of Justice Files First Case in U.S. Alien Terrorist Removal Court to Deport Afghan Alien Who Supported Her Family’s Plans for Election-Day Shooting “Congress created the Alien Terrorist Removal Court three decades ago to remove from the United States alien terrorists… pic.twitter.com/NPaO1BRInH — U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) July 30, 2026 Zada is the mother and mother-in-law of two Afghan men already convicted for their roles in the thwarted 2024 plot. Her son, Abdullah Haji Zada, and her son-in-law, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, were arrested after buying two AK-47-style rifles, 500 rounds of ammunition and 10 magazines from an undercover FBI employee, according to federal records. Prosecutors say the weapons were intended for a mass-casualty attack on or around Election Day on behalf of ISIS. Abdullah, who was 17 when arrested, pleaded guilty as an adult and received the maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison. Tawhedi pleaded guilty to terrorism and firearms offenses and is awaiting sentencing. The allegations against Nazira go beyond her family relationship to the two convicted men. The Justice Department says Zada supported the planned attack and helped prepare the family’s exit from the country. Federal officials allege the family sold furniture, computers, a phone, two vehicles and the family home while buying one-way tickets to Afghanistan for Zada and several children shortly before the planned shooting. The department says the two convicted men were not included on those tickets. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche described Zada as the matriarch of an ISIS-sympathizing family who allegedly aided a plan to attack American voters. FBI Director Kash Patel called the filing a historic step and said the government would use every available resource to protect Americans. Those are serious allegations, and the government will have to prove them. The unclassified summary filed in the case offered the public its first look at the accusations: DOJ lodged the unclassified summary of its first Alien Terrorist Removal Court target, Nazira Haji Zara, a lawful permanent resident (green card) of Fort Worth, Texas. She is an alleged ISIS loyalist who supported a terrorist attack conspiracy in the U.S. by her son & son-in-law pic.twitter.com/pM8aEeI9bM — Aram Gavoor (@AramGavoor) July 29, 2026 The removal court exists for cases in which ordinary immigration proceedings could expose classified national-security information. Congress established it in 1996, but no administration had ever filed a case there before President Trump returned to office. The court is composed of five federal district judges appointed by the chief justice of the United States. The government may use classified evidence, but it must also produce an unclassified summary sufficient for the person facing removal to prepare a defense. The accused has a right to counsel, and either side may appeal the eventual decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Thursday’s hearing immediately tested those protections. CBS News reports that federal public defender Matthew Farley challenged the entire process as unconstitutional and asked Chief Judge Joan Ericksen to release Zada immediately. Ericksen denied that request, though the issue may return at a later detention hearing. The defense argued that the government is using a lower evidentiary standard than it would face in a criminal prosecution. Zada has not been charged with a terrorism crime, and much of the evidence against her remains classified. Ericksen pressed Justice Department lawyers to provide more detail and said she was operating under the presumption that security-cleared defense counsel would be allowed to review the classified material. She also said the government would need to explain why any specific evidence could not be disclosed. That exchange matters because it shows the court doing what a court is supposed to do: testing the government’s claims while keeping the case moving. The administration is not asking an immigration bureaucrat to make a secret decision and place someone on a plane. It is invoking a statute Congress passed, presenting evidence to an Article III judge and accepting judicial review. The final burden remains with the government. Under federal law, DOJ must establish by a preponderance of the evidence that Zada qualifies as an alien terrorist before the court may order her removal. If federal officials can prove that a lawful permanent resident supported an ISIS plot to murder Americans as they voted, the United States should not be forced to leave a lawful national-security tool unused merely because prior administrations never had the will to test it. President Trump promised to use the full lawful power of the federal government to protect the country. This case is the clearest sign yet that his Justice Department intends to follow through.
