π₯π₯ A Senate Republican wants to crack down on public officials who use their position to grow their wealth.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is set to introduce legislation that would create stiffer penalties for public officials who commit federal bank fraud, tax fraud, or loan or mortgage fraud. Cornynβs bill comes on the heels of two such instances where top officials and lawmakers were hit with allegations of mortgage fraud.
Indeed, Cornynβs Law Enforcement Tools to Interdict Troubling Investments in Abodes (LETITIA) Act is named for New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The Justice Department earlier this year opened an investigation into James, who successfully won a civil case last year against President Donald Trump and his Trump Organization over allegations of faulty business practices, for alleged mortgage fraud.
Federal Housing Finance Director Bill Pulte alleged in a letter that James could have engaged in mortgage fraud by making false or misleading statements on property records, like a loan application that said her property in Virginia is her primary residence, a building record stating her multifamily Brooklyn property incorrectly has five residences instead of four, and a mortgage application that falsely stated James was her fatherβs spouse.

A new memo being sent to House Republicans on Monday is encouraging them to tout new work requirements for Medicaid and federal food benefits, as lawmakers return to their districts for Congress' annual August recess period.
Democrats and Republicans are locked in a messaging war over President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," a fight that's only expected to intensify as the 2026 midterm elections creep closer.
Advancing American Freedom (AAF), a group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence, is looking to provide backup to GOP lawmakers with new guidance on how to sell the bill to constituents.
The memo positions Democratic attacks as "Left Wing operativesβ¦already working to distort and malign every part of the [one big, beautiful bill]."
Democrats have been accusing Republicans of ripping federal benefits like Medicaid away from millions of people in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
They're hoping to gin up enough outrage against the bill to carry them to take back the House of Representatives next year. But the memo's first section encourages GOP lawmakers to point out that "every Democrat voted against" the bill, followed by three of what the right sees as its strongest points.

βThe government has just unanimously approved the proposal of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Yariv Levin to immediately terminate the tenure of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara,β according to Levinβs spokesperson.

Right-wing Israeli politicians have long called for her dismissal.
Israelβs Supreme Court issued an injunction on Monday to stop Baharav-Miaraβs firing. Levinβs move in March to initiate proceedings to dismiss her sparked fierce criticism and a legal challenge.

NEWπ₯ : President Donald Trump is directing the Department of Homeland Security to develop policies to block male international athletes from competing against women in the United States, The Daily Wire can exclusively report.
On Monday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will issue guidance building off Trumpβs Keeping Men Out of Womenβs Sports executive order, ensuring that certain athlete-related petitions and applications will be available only to women.
βMen do not belong in womenβs sports,β USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser told The Daily Wire. βUSCIS is closing the loophole for foreign male athletes whose only chance at winning elite sports is to change their gender identity and leverage their biological advantages against women.β

U.S. states and cities that boycott Israeli companies will be denied federal aid for natural disaster preparedness, the Trump administration has announced, tying routine federal funding to its political stance.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency stated in grant notices posted on Friday that states must follow its "terms and conditions." Those conditions require they certify they will not sever βcommercial relations specifically with Israeli companiesβ to qualify for funding.
The requirement applies to at least $1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search-and-rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries and backup power systems among other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters.
The requirement is the Trump administration's latest effort to use federal funding to promote its views on Israel.

ICYMI: Tesla founder Elon Musk gave $5 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC in late June amid his public disagreements with President Donald Trump and a series of high-profile exchanges.
Musk also gave $5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund and Congressional Leadership Fund, The Hill reported, citing campaign finance filings. The late June donations came as Trump and Musk have generally backed off from attacking one another in public.
The X platform owner previously served as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and left the White House in May to comply with his limited term as a special government employee.
He has, however, expressed considerable frustration with the GOP and Trump himself over budget-related matters and even announced the formation of the "America Party" to fight for stronger budgeting.

As businesses and government services continue to adopt open-source software, a new report indicates that foreign actors are secretly infiltrating software infrastructure with ill intent.
According to a report from strategic intelligence company Strider, the widespread adoption of OSS has outpaced the development of relevant cybersecurity measures, allowing well-trained βadvanced persistent threat groupsβ to insert malicious code into widely used software.
OSS is source code that is publicly available and licensed for use by any party.
The code is often available for free and is open to modification by anyone. The report argues that this philosophy has let state-affiliated actors from Russia, China and North Korea distribute malicious code.

The Gates Foundation will spend $2.5 billion by 2030 on womenβs health, it said on Monday, with founder Bill Gates saying the area, including conditions from preeclampsia to menopause, had been neglected for too long.
The investment is among its first big commitments since Gates announced earlier this year that he would give away his $200bn fortune by 2045. It is around one-third more than the Foundation spent on womenβs and maternal health over the last five years.
The work will look at deeply under-researched areas that affect hundreds of millions of women in both high- and low-income countries, from preeclampsia and gestational diabetes to heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, and menopause.
Investment will focus on five key areas: obstetric care and maternal immunization; maternal health and nutrition; gynaecological and menstrual health; contraceptive innovation; and sexually transmitted infection.
The aim is to kickstart research, develop products, and ensure equitable access to them worldwide.

NEW: Apparently, FBI director Kash Patel is in New Zealand and has made a visit to the Beehive. Patel, a former adviser to United States President Donald Trump, was seen by the Herald in the basement this afternoon. Itβs understood Patel has left the Parliamentβ¦
FBI Director Kash Patel visited New Zealand over the weekend to launch the bureauβs new office there, saying the country was a crucial partner for fighting Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Patel said the international field office, known as a legal attachΓ© office, was the first such office to open in decades. The FBI has more than 60 offices across the globe designed to focus on international threats and intelligence building.
Fresh off a meeting with Five Eyes partners in the region, Patel laid out the FBI New Zealand office's priorities.
The Five Eyes alliance is a decades-old global group of five countries that share intelligence with each other for national security purposes. In addition to the United States and New Zealand, it includes the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. New Zealand has faced pressure to align more closely with the United States on China while also balancing its own relationship with Beijing, according to The Associated Press.
China took issue with the FBI's announcement in remarks on Friday, saying it did not support the two countries teaming up against a third country.
