OAKLAND, CALIF - Voters in Alameda County, which includes the city of Oakland, have recalled District Attorney Pamela Price, a George Soros-backed prosecutor who adopted “criminal justice reform” policies unpopular even with left-wing residents.

The San Jose Mercury News reported:

The recall targeting Alameda County’s top prosecutor resulted in success Tuesday night, potentially striking a blow to progressivism in the criminal justice system across in one of California’s bluest enclaves.

In unofficial final results posted by Alameda County early Wednesday, District Attorney Pamela Price became the first elected district attorney to be recalled from office in the county’s history. Voters voiced support for removing her from office less than two years into her first, six-year term, though final results could take days to be finalized as city and county election officials continue to count ballots cast on Election Day.

In voting, 64.8% of the electorate voted to recall Price, while 35.2% voted to keep her on board.

Price was one of scores of radical left-wing prosecutors funded by Soros in recent years, many of whom arose during the Black Lives Matter movement.

Crime became so bad in Oakland, which adopted “defund the police” policies, that Price’s own laptop was stolen from her car. In addition, Price was accused of nepotism after hiring her boyfriend despite concerns about his record. Click here to read more.

As votes continue to be counted, Donald Trump’s lead feels so massive that it’s hard to see how Kamala Harris didn’t significantly underperform the Biden Benchmark of 2020. She didn’t just blow it; she blew it bigly.

In 2020, there were 81+ million votes cast for Biden and 74+ million cast for Trump — a grand total of over 155 million votes. Currently, there’s about 138 million total votes counted for the 2024 cycle. Trump is less than 3 million short of his 2020 benchmark, meaning the bulk of the almost 20 million vote deficit is coming from the Harris camp. Of course, votes in some of the big blue states will continue to trickle in for days (or weeks?!) after the fact, and Harris’ final count will continue to rise. But this is still a drastic difference for the morning after; where the hell did all these Biden loyalists go?

The West Coast is most glaring: Harris is over 800,000 votes short of 2020 numbers in Washington (64% reporting);  400,000 votes short in Oregon (73% reporting); 500,000 votes short in Colorado (76% reporting); and a whopping 5.5 million votes short in California (58% reporting). This will likely continue to narrow. But take California, where the split is 57% to 40% Harris. If she stays on the same trajectory, that will still put her almost 2 million shy of Biden’s 11+ million votes in the state. Even if she ramps it up to Biden’s 63% to 34%, that’s only 10.3 million votes for Harris. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich. – Republican State Sen. Ruth Johnson has asked Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for information about what processes are in place to prevent noncitizens from voting. Johnson claimed there were 34,535 individuals “whose name, date of birth, and Social Security numbers do not match any record found in the Social Security database.” Johnson said those people may be noncitizens.

Johnson stated the information came from the Social Security Administration’s Help America Vote Verification system, which she said in a press release was used by state officials to verify new voter registrations. Johnson, who served as Secretary of State from 2011 to 2019, made her claims in light of a University of Michigan student from China who was a nonresident who voted in the 2024 November election.

The student voted Oct. 27 and faces criminal charges. “We have no system to check if people are registering or voting who are not eligible,” Johnson said in a press release. “The only way the student at UM was caught is because he requested his ballot back from the clerk.” Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK — Mayor Adams on Thursday applauded a drone initiative that’s aimed at cracking down on subway surfing, following the deaths of six people this year, including two teens who perished while subway surfing just in the past week.

Adams touted the NYPD’s drone program as a way the city is working to prevent more deaths.

“We will see the lives that are lost, but rarely do you get the medal for the lives that are saved,” the mayor said at a press conference outside a Queens school near the aboveground No. 7 train. “And these offices and this team and this technology is saving lives.”

The aerial drone program started last year as a pilot initiative and was made permanent this June, NYPD officials said.

The NYPD has two drones that are put to work during the after-school hours from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. flying above the J, M, Z and 7 subway lines to alert officers on the ground if a subway surfer is spotted. The officers then apprehend the daredevils at a subway station and take them into custody. Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK, NY - If it weren’t for the election season swamping news coverage, odds are more people would be talking about the revelation that, to quote a Bloomberg headline, “The World Bank Somehow Lost Track of at Least $24 Billion.” In fact, that may understate the reality: the World Bank’s “accounting gap” could be as big as $41 billion. The missing funds in question were for “climate finance” projects, “financed by taxpayer dollars from its member countries, the biggest being the US.”

According to the Oxfam report that was the source for the Bloomberg story, “There is no clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used, which makes any assessment of its impacts impossible.” It is possible that much, maybe even most, of the missing money went to the intended people and purposes. But only the hopelessly naïve would dismiss the probability of rampant waste, malfeasance, graft, and outright theft as explanations for that “gap.” Spending of such magnitude and velocity with sloppy oversight is an invitation to thieves.

But the oversight scandal at the World Bank is chump change compared with the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its massive planned “climate finance” program. The misnamed IRA is, in the words of its advocates, the “largest climate policy in US history.” [emphasis added] The law’s ambitions dwarf those of the World Bank.

EXCLUSIVE: Video of attack on Michigan GOP HQ

DICKINSON COUNTY, Mich. (July 14, 2025) — Newly released surveillance video shows what appears to be the moment a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the Dickinson County Republican Committee headquarters. The footage offers more detail on a weekend attack that led to the arrest of a 19-year-old Iron Mountain man.

The video appears to show a suspect attempting to light a rag sticking out of a glass bottle before throwing it at the building on Stephenson Avenue. Police say the rag failed to ignite, but the bottle shattered upon impact. A second unlit bottle was later found in the parking lot with liquid inside and a rag sticking out of it.

According to a press release from the Iron Mountain Police Department, the incident happened around 3:55 p.m. on Saturday. No injuries were reported, and damage to the building, which houses several businesses including the county GOP office, was minimal.

Criminals loot Michigan’s $250M monthly food benefits system

Michigan gives $250 million of food benefits monthly to low-income households using outdated magnetic stripe cards. Criminals have stolen millions of those dollars over the last decade, according to testimony given at a July 25 meeting of the Michigan House Oversight Committee.

More than 1.4 million Michiganders rely on Bridge Cards to eat. But you can steal their benefits with the help of a kit available for purchase from Amazon, according to Doug Woodard of the Office of the Inspector General.

Lawmakers also heard from Andrew Kustowski, director of the Special Investigations Division of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, they interviewed Jennifer Allen, the manager of the Benefit Trafficking Investigation section.

Organized criminal groups commit fraud against the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, Kustowski said.

These criminals use computers and the internet to build EBT skimmers to steal benefits, he said. Click here to read more.

 

If Public-Sector Unions Provided Value, They Wouldn’t Need Schemes

Chances are, the last time you went to the supermarket, the clerk at the checkout stand thanked you for your business.

And you thanked her back.

You were both being polite, of course, but there was more to it than that. In fact, you were expressing the essence of capitalism: In a free-market economic system, there can be no transaction unless both parties walk away feeling they got what they wanted.

The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you.

You may have sticker shock when you see how much more your groceries cost than they did even a year before, but they’re still worth more to you than the dollars you trade for them.

And vice versa.

It’s a voluntary exchange. Value for value. Everyone benefits.

That’s why it works.

That’s also why government employee unions are struggling to survive these days. They don’t provide value, and their members are getting wise to it. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan health officials ignore federal guidance, claim COVID vaccine for pregnant women, infants ‘good science’

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is ignoring “common sense” and “good science” with continued pressure on pregnant women and infants to vaccinate against COVID.

In May, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., National Institute of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, and Federal Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary announced the U.S. government is no longer recommending the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women.

Department of Education Finds Five Northern Virginia School Districts in Violation of Title IX, Following AFL’s Call for a Federal Investigation into the Districts’ Illegal “Gender Identity” Policies,

Today, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced that it had concluded its investigation into five Northern Virginia school districts and found each district in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for adopting and enforcing illegal “gender identity” policies that permit males into female bathrooms and locker rooms.

This follows America First Legal’s (AFL) call for a federal investigation into these five school districts, Alexandria City, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Prince William County, which it filed with the Department of Education on February 3, 2025. In response, on February 14, 2025, the Department of Education announced that it had opened an investigation. Last week, on July 17, 2025, AFL sent a letter to the Department of Education, explaining the significance of the Supreme Court’s decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor on the ongoing investigation.

With this action, the school districts now have 10 days to voluntarily comply with the law by rescinding policies based on “gender identity” and clarifying that policies related to intimate spaces, such as bathrooms and locker rooms, must be separated based on sex. If the districts fail to do this, they could face further enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, referral to the U.S. Department of Justice and loss of federal funding.

GOP Lawmakers Blame Cincinnatti Violence on Democrat Policies: ‘Have the Mayor Resign’; ‘Fund the Police’

Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) believes Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval (D) should resign following the violent brawl that broke out on the streets of downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, as he and others point to Democrat policies as a key factor in generating such violence.

Video of the incident shows two men fighting as others rush to the scene shouting. A man in a white shirt ends up on the ground as a swarm of others begin attacking and kicking him in the middle of the road as others recorded the fight.

“It’s a heinous attack. The mayor of Cincinnati is a disgrace,” Moreno said of the incident. “Have the mayor resign. Have a congressman that actually cares about his district, and fund the police in Cincinnati.” Click here to read more.

Michigan can’t even give away billions of dollars.

A cash offer of $1.1 billion wasn’t enough to lure a company to a Genesee County location near Flint.

When auto companies chose to spend about $11 billion building plants in the American South in 2021, Michigan, stung by headlines blaming the state for losing this business, gathered a taxpayer-funded honeypot. But years later, that also has failed to attract a buyer.

Michigan gave $259 million in site prep for the Genesee County spot. It offered $6 billion to Western Digital Technologies, according to an August 2024 letter of intent signed by Michigan Economic Development Corporation CEO Quentin Messer and Dan Steere, Western Digital's senior vice president of corporate development and strategy.

In return, the company would invest $63 billion between 2024 and 2045 and create 9,400 jobs.

Michigan offered:

  • $1.175 billion in a cash grant

  • $750 million in cash grants

  • $416 million in a sales and use tax exemption

CNN anchor Erin Burnett blasted for describing NYC shooter as 'possibly white'

Authorities have charged at least five suspects in a violent attack that took place in downtown Cincinnati, according to police.

FOX 19 reported that the beating took place on Friday night between Elm and Fourth Streets, with videos going viral on social media.

Video circulating around social media shows two people attacking a man wearing a white T-shirt, who is eventually shoved to the ground. The man wearing a white T-shirt was kicked several times while he was on the ground, but eventually gets up.

A woman was also seen lying unconscious in the street after being punched. Several people can be seen helping her get up, and she eventually regained consciousness. Click here to read more.

 

Middle School Cheerleaders Made a TikTok Video Portraying a School Shooting. They Were Charged With a Crime.

One afternoon in mid-September, a group of middle school girls in rural East Tennessee decided to film a TikTok video while waiting to begin cheerleading practice.

In the 45-second video posted later that day, one girl enters the classroom holding a cellphone. “Put your hands up,” she says, while a classmate flickers the lights on and off. As the camera pans across the classroom, several girls dramatically fall back on a desk or the floor and lie motionless, pretending they were killed.

When another student enters and surveys the bodies on the ground in poorly feigned shock, few manage to suppress their giggles. Throughout the video, which ProPublica obtained, a line of text reads: “To be continued……”

Penny Jackson’s 11-year-old granddaughter was one of the South Greene Middle School cheerleaders who played dead. She said the co-captains told her what to do and she did it, unaware of how it would be used. The next day, she was horrified when the police came to school to question her and her teammates.

Here’s why a school district is telling teachers not to post Amazon Wish Lists

HOHENWALD, Tenn. - A school district in Tennessee is asking teachers not to share personal Amazon Wish Lists.

Lewis County School District asked teachers to refrain from posting their wish lists when using the district’s name, school names or logos.

Director of Schools Tracy McAbee shared the district’s reasoning for the decision in a Facebook post.

McAbee said that when donations are made using the name or brand of a Tennessee public school, “there must be a documented process to verify that items were received, properly inventoried, and used in accordance with public purpose.”

“Currently, there is no consistent way to verify that donations made through individual wish lists were delivered or how those resources were used. This creates the potential for audit findings and concerns about mismanagement, even when the intent is good,” she said. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

Congress wants largest teachers union to pick kids over politics

The National Education Association was given a federal charter to be a professional advocate for teachers and public education, but it has morphed into a hyper-partisan advocacy group.

Spending tens of millions of dollars on campaigns, lobbying and ideology-driven resolutions that have little to do with students has real consequences. It hurts teachers. It politicizes the classroom. It undermines trust in public education. And it’s happening under the recognition of a federal charter, a rare privilege possessed by fewer than 100 national-interest groups, such as the American Legion.

Congress is considering fixing that. The Stopping Teachers Unions from Damaging Education Needs Today Act, would hold the NEA to the same standards of neutrality, transparency and public service expected of any nationally chartered nonprofit. The STUDENT Act is intended to refocus the NEA on education.

NEA is more focused on power than education

In 2024, the NEA spent $23 million on political campaigns and another $3 million lobbying Congress. That same year, just 9% of the NEA’s spending was on representing its members, while the rest went to political causes and other union leadership priorities. Click here to read more.
