The FBI and the Volusia Sheriff’s Office arrested 28 members of the Mongols biker gang July 2 in connection with a Bike Week shooting in New Smyrna Beach earlier this year, officials said during a press conference in Daytona Beach. The press conference follows joint law enforcement raids earlier the same day, according to the FBI Jacksonville, which stated in a social media post that the raids targeted “violent criminal offenders across Florida.” The FBI wrote in the post that it partnered with the Volusia Sheriff’s Office and the 7th Circuit State Attorney’s Office. The Bike Week shooting happened at a RaceTrac gas station at 3000 State Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach between the Mongols and the Warlocks. 00:00 Holy Cow Now Way 00:51 Mongols Lit The Fuse Game On 02:16 I tried to warn everyone 04:19 They got the President 06:28 Going to Alligator Alcatraz 08:26 This is who the drafted

According to multiple reports, the U.S. government intends to breed billions of flies and dump them over Mexico and southern Texas to combat a “flesh-eating maggot.” The Frankenstein-like experiment is purportedly meant to protect cattle and wildlife from the bug. JUST IN – The U.S. government is preparing to breed billions of flies and dump them out of airplanes over Mexico and southern Texas to fight a flesh-eating maggot, NBC News reports — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) July 2, 2025 Fox News provided details: The pest being targeted is the flesh-eating larva of the New World Screwworm (NWS) fly. The Department of Agriculture plans to ramp up the breeding and distribution of adult male flies. The flies will be sterilized with radiation before they are released. They mate with females in the wild, and the eggs laid by the female aren’t fertilized and don’t hatch. There are fewer larvae, and over time, the fly population dies out. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Agriculture. The USDA expects a new screwworm fly factory to be up and running in southern Mexico by July 2026. It plans to open a fly distribution center in southern Texas by the end of the year so that it can import and distribute flies from Panama if necessary. The New World Screwworm was considered to be eradicated in the U.S. since 1966, but has recently emerged as a threat following an outbreak in Mexico. In May, the news triggered a shutdown of cattle, horse and bison imports along the southern border, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced at the time. “This afternoon, I spoke with my counterpart in Mexico, @JulioBerdegue, on our joint fight against the New World Screwworm. He and his team have worked hand in hand with our @USDA team since May 11 to get these ports reopened. We are grateful,” Rollins said Monday.

Sterile flies from a factory in Panama kept the flies contained there for years, but the pest appeared in southern Mexico late last year. The USDA expects a new screwworm fly factory to be up and running in southern Mexico by July 2026. It plans to open a fly distribution center in southern Texas by the end of the year so that it can import and distribute flies from Panama if necessary. The scientific name for the parasite, Cochliomyia hominivorax, is roughly translated to “man-eater,” according to the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. “When NWS fly larvae (maggots) burrow into the flesh of a living animal, they cause serious, often deadly damage to the animal,” the USDA says. “NWS can infest livestock, pets, wildlife, occasionally birds and, in rare cases, people.” Most fly larvae feed on dead flesh, making the New World screwworm fly and its Old World counterpart in Asia and Africa outliers — and for the American beef industry, a serious threat. Females lay their eggs in wounds and, sometimes, exposed mucus. “A thousand-pound bovine can be dead from this in two weeks,” said Michael Bailey, president elect of the American Veterinary Medicine Association.

Sentinel posted this Tucker interview with RFJ Jr. on July 1 but one section bears repeating.

Speaker Mike Johnson has President Donald Trump’s signature bill at the finish line. During a marathon overnight session that at times appeared doomed, Republicans voted 219-213 at about 3:30 a.m. to send the bill to a final vote. The late hour was not due to procedure, but rather indecision on the Republican side of the aisle. After five Republicans voted against the rule to proceed, coupled with a handful of Republicans who were holding out, Johnson had to scramble to not only find votes, but also get Republicans to switch theirs. Just before midnight, Johnson said he would hold the vote open for as long as it needed, and started to whip votes, with a helping hand from Trump. “Largest Tax Cuts in History and a Booming Economy vs. Biggest Tax Increase in History, and a Failed Economy,” Trump posted as the legislation stalled. “What are Republicans waiting for??? What are you trying to prove? MAGA IS NOT HAPPY.” Eventually, Johnson got enough votes to the House floor — and convinced one of the opponents, Kentucky’s Thomas Massie — to vote in favor of the rule. Johnson told reporters that Trump was intimately involved with getting the vote across the finish line, following the play-by-play as he whipped votes. The final hurdle is a speech by the House’s top Democrat, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who began speaking just after the rule passed and, hours later, is still going. Though some expected him to speak for roughly an hour, Jeffries said in his speech: “I’m planning to take my sweet time.” Jeffries is permitted to speak for as long as he wants, though all he can do is delay the vote, not stop a final vote from occurring. He’s filling his speech with testimonials from Americans on Medicaid and other social welfare programs that Democrats say would be imperiled by Trump’s spending legislation. JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free Johnson had estimated that the final vote would take place at 8:30 a.m., but Jeffries was still going as the hour passed. Still, he appears set to meet Trump’s Independence Day deadline by a full day. Passing the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” — which includes not only a major tax cut championed by Trump but also funds his biggest campaign promises — would be a major victory for the president. He had urged Republicans in Congress to put all of their priorities into one piece of legislation, and has been intimately involved in getting it through with narrow majorities in both chambers. Trump says his legislation, which has been criticized by even some of his allies for not doing enough to reduce the deficit, will lead to unprecedented economic growth. READ MORE: Trump White House Promises Massive Economic Growth In Final Push To Pass The ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ “Nobody wants to talk about GROWTH, which will be the primary reason that the Big, Beautiful Bill will be one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever passed,” the president said on Wednesday. “THIS GROWTH has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of Dollars are now being invested into the USA, more than ever before.” “Likewise,” he added, “hundreds of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs are filling up the coffers of Treasury. The Tariff money has already arrived and is setting new records! We are growing our way out of the Sleepy Joe Biden MESS that he and the Democrats left us, and it is happening much faster than anyone thought possible.” As of 9:00 a.m., Jeffries was still talking on the House floor and again stated his intention to take his time. Vice President JD Vance wrote on X that Republicans who have been there overnight are falling further in line as they listen to his opposition. “GOP Congressman just texted me: ‘I was undecided on the bill but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance and now I’m a firm yes,'” Vance wrote. Trump in a Thursday morning post indicated that he was pleased with the effort to get things to the finish line. “What a great night it was,” the president said. “One of the most consequential bills ever.” pic.twitter.com/Z6bHoXPCQy — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) July 3, 2025

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday sent a letter to every governor in America, as well as the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the governor of Puerto Rico, urging them to remove political messages from crosswalks, including crosswalks painted in rainbow colors that recognize the LGBTQ community. “Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork,” Duffy told The Daily Signal.  “Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions.” Noting that there were an estimated 39,345 traffic fatalities in 2024 across the nation and more than half of them occurred at intersections, Duffy implemented the Safe Arterials for Everyone through Reliable Operations and Distraction-Reducing Strategies (SAFE ROADS) plan, which would “focus on the non-freeway arterials within your State, including safety and operation at intersections and along segments, consistent and recognizable traffic control devices including crosswalk and intersection markings, and orderly use of the right‑of‑way that is kept free from distractions.” JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free Duffy gave the governors 60 days “to develop a list of arterial segments, including intersections, with the highest safety, operational, or compliance concerns that will be addressed by the end of Fiscal Year 2026.” Rainbow sidewalks have proliferated across the nation in recent years. The list of cites with rainbow crosswalks includes San Francisco, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Washington, D.C., Nashville, and smaller cities such as West Hollywood, California — where the first rainbow intersection was installed in 2012 — Key West, Florida, Huntington, West Virginia, and Ames, Iowa. “Crosswalk markings are classified as either transverse line or high-visibility,” the 2023 edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices for Streets and Highways — which is issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) — states. “Transverse crossing markings consist of two transverse lines. High-visibility markings consist of longitudinal lines parallel to traffic flow with or without transverse lines. Crosswalk markings shall be white.” “The FHWA is concerned that considerable ambiguity continues regarding how colored pavement can be used, especially between the white transverse lines of a legally marked crosswalk,” the Department of Transportation stated in 2013. “In 2011, the FHWA issued an additional Official Ruling4 that crosswalk art—defined as any freeform design to draw attention to the crosswalk—would degrade the contrast of the white transverse lines against the composition of the pavement beneath it. In deviating from previous Official Rulings on the matter that concluded an increased factor of safety and decreased number of pedestrian deaths were not evident after installation, this 2011 Official Ruling stated that the use of crosswalk art is actually contrary to the goal of increased safety and most likely could be a contributing factor to a false sense of security for both motorists and pedestrians.”

BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL NEARS THE FINISH LINE ... POLITICO: Mike Johnson on the cusp of megabill victory During the all-nighter, GOP leaders kept the procedural vote open for almost six hours as they worked to flip 12 votes. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) was the lone Republican to vote “no” at the end.
