The Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security sued all 15 federal district court judges in the state of Maryland on Tuesday for halting all deportations under legal challenges by the state for 48 hours. Trump administration lawyers called the Maryland judges’ ruling an “egregious example of judicial overreach.” “This lawsuit involves yet another regrettable example of the […] The post DHS Sued All 15 MD Federal District Court Judges for Defying SCOTUS appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Anthony Weiner’s latest bid for political redemption collapsed in spectacular fashion. His loss to Harvey Epstein—yes, that Epstein—has become a fittingly bizarre end to one of America’s most controversial political careers. Weiner’s Last Stand Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner launched a comeback campaign for New York City Council’s Second District, hoping voters would look past his notorious scandals. Instead, they looked the other way. Weiner placed fourth, managing just 10.3% of the vote. The seat went to Harvey Epstein, who earned 39.0%. For many, the irony was thick. A man brought down by a sexting scandal and a conviction for lewd conduct with a minor lost to someone with a surname forever stained by another infamous figure: Jeffrey Epstein. Anthony Weiner's return to politics is all the proof you need that liberals have fallen on hard times: pic.twitter.com/v8GfaofCP8 — Jimmy Failla (@jimmyfailla) June 2, 2025 A Campaign Overshadowed by Scandal Weiner had tried to reset his image, positioning himself as a practical centrist focused on public safety and single-payer healthcare. He acknowledged his criminal past and framed his campaign as a second chance. Anthony Weiner has zero remorse or shame that he’s a p^rvert and a child pr^dator. “It’s ridiculous for me to get charged with a crime and do a prison sentence for the things that I did, especially as I am attempting to make a political comeback.”Unbelievable! pic.twitter.com/k5tklWy5Xv — Farm Girl Carrie (@FarmGirlCarrie) May 31, 2025 “I accepted responsibility, I did my time (literally) and paid my debt to society in full,” he stated on the trail. Yet the electorate clearly hadn’t forgotten. For voters in a city burned by political disgrace before, forgiveness proved elusive. And Weiner’s own name remains a punchline to late-night jokes more than a symbol of redemption. The Irony and the Verdict Weiner’s opponent, Harvey Epstein, likely had no intention of drawing comparisons with the late convicted sex offender. Still, voters and commentators couldn’t ignore the cruel coincidence. It became the closing twist in a political drama that began with promise and unraveled in scandal. Weiner had previously attempted a comeback in 2013 with a run for New York City mayor but crashed out after another sexting scandal—this time under the alias “Carlos Danger.” Now, over a decade later, the result is clearer than ever: some reputations don’t recover, and some names remain indelibly marked.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is calling out the liberal media, slamming CNN and The New York Times for what he calls a deliberate campaign to mislead the public about U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear program. Hegseth defended the Trump-approved mission as a joint success backed by Israeli intelligence and airtight American strategy. Media Under Fire Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth didn’t hold back during a June 26 Pentagon briefing, accusing left-wing media outlets of intentionally minimizing the impact of President Trump’s coordinated airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Hegseth called out CNN and The New York Times by name, claiming their reporting was blatantly political and out of step with verified intelligence. “The instinct of CNN and The New York Times is to spin it—to hurt President Trump and this country,” – Pete Hegseth He emphasized that early intelligence showed critical infrastructure at Fordow and Natanz was severely crippled, not “barely scratched” as reported by legacy outlets. Intel Agencies Back Hegseth CIA Director John Ratcliffe reinforced Hegseth’s statements, saying the destruction to Iran’s enrichment capabilities was far worse than media suggested. He confirmed that the Fordow nuclear facility suffered catastrophic damage, likely setting back Iran’s uranium enrichment timeline by years. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to hold a press conference on Thursday to discuss the effectiveness of US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, coming after CNN, citing a classified assessment, said that the bombing did not significantly hamper the facilities and set back… pic.twitter.com/E3eUd1v2AT — The New Region (@thenewregion) June 26, 2025 President Trump also weighed in, crediting Israeli forces with confirming total destruction. “Israel’s guys went in there and said it was total obliteration,” he said, referring to post-strike intelligence gathered on the ground. Media’s Narrative Crumbles CNN and The New York Times both reported that the strikes had limited effect and caused only temporary disruption to Iran’s nuclear efforts. But with both U.S. and Israeli intelligence contradicting those claims, critics argue these outlets are prioritizing anti-Trump bias over facts. Trump is once again indicating his inability to handle criticism Grok – The post critiques Trump's reaction to criticism, linking his behavior to potential narcissistic and sociopathic traits, supported by a 2019 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that… https://t.co/vqE1acKTzo — American Veteran (@amvetsupport) June 25, 2025 Even Iran’s own foreign ministry hinted at the severity of the damage, acknowledging “long-term setbacks” to several installations—an unusual admission from the regime. Public Misled Yet Again The clash between trusted military intel and legacy media spin has left many Americans questioning who to believe. As Hegseth and Ratcliffe present a unified national security assessment—and Trump drives the message home—the narrative being pushed by the mainstream media looks increasingly out of sync with reality. With Iran vowing retaliation and tensions still rising, the need for accurate reporting and public trust has never been more critical. Hegseth’s warning rings loud: “Don’t let the media write their own version of the truth.” Sources: Hegseth slams media over reports on effectiveness of Iran nuclear site strikes ‘Better Get a Big Shovel’: Fuming Pete Hegseth Drops a Bunker Buster on Mainstream Media’s Iran Attack Narrative

With the current Supreme Court term winding down there remain several big opinions on the docket, including on whether district courts will continue to be able to issue national injunctions. One of those opinions came down today, allowing states to ban Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. No legacy network newscast filed a full report on the defund of Planned Parenthood, which contrasts to the wall-to-wall coverage drawn by the Dobbs opinion that ended Roe v. Wade. NBC had the lengthiest brief, nonetheless, making the most of its time and going heavy on ideology: NBC NIGHTLY NEWS 6/26/25 6:38 PM TOM LLAMAS: Also tonight, the Supreme Court making it easier for states to target funding for Planned Parenthood. The court ruling along ideological lines today, a 6-3 decision in favor of South Carolina's effort to defund the organization. The conservative majority blocking Planned Parenthood from suing over Medicaid funding. It could pave the way for other states to try to defund as well. Tom Llamas made sure to squeeze “ideological” and “conservative” into the brief, ensuring that the report was, well…ideological. The emphasis on ideology rendered the report vague as to what services were being defunded (Medicaid funding for abortion, Planned Parenthood’s bread and butter, is banned separately from this ruling pursuant to the Hyde Amendment).  Over at ABC, anchor David Muir went for one superlative and specified the services being defunded, although vaguely: ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT 6/26/25 6:44 PM DAVID MUIR: We turn now to the Supreme Court decision today, boosting efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. The conservative majority ruling that South Carolina can block the women's health clinics from Medicaid, cutting off funding even for nonabortion services, including contraception and cancer screenings. Other states could now do the same. Even nonabortion services! Contraception and cancer screenings! To his credit, Muir only dropped one “today”. There is no ambiguity, but there is an omission. CBS did nothing on the broadcast side, but did stream an item on the Evening News Plus. A conscious choice was made to focus on the end of term, and to their credit, they mentioned Planned Parenthood is an abortion provider. CBS EVENING NEWS PLUS 6/26/25 7:01 PM MAURICE DuBOIS: The Supreme Court today cleared the way for states to block Medicaid funding for non-abortion related medical services provided by Planned Parenthood. The 6-3 ruling bolsters Republican efforts to defund the nation's largest abortion provider. Additional major rulings are expected tomorrow when the Court's term ends, including President Trump's bid to limit birthright citizenship. What was missing from all these reports was the full scope of services provided by Planned Parenthood and now officially defunded in South Carolina. Lest anyone think that cancer screenings and passing out contraception was Planned Parenthood’s post-Roe business plan: Planned Parenthood is proud to provide a safe and welcoming place to get gender-affirming care. We offer services to transgender women, transgender men, and nonbinary people. Services include: Estrogen and anti-androgen hormone therapy Testosterone hormone therapy Puberty blockers Surgery referrals Transition support (social, legal) Other  “Gender affirming therapy” in all its forms is the real game, which is why the network newscasts played it so brief. A full report would’ve allowed sufficient time to include Planned Parenthood’s gender component, which is the real non-abortion cash cow. Thanks to the Supreme Court, these programs will no longer be publicly financed. Not today, Molech!
