NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s newly appointed archbishop of Denver has benched Fr. Chad Ripperger, a celebrity exorcist who wrote a prayer to help “Stop the Steal” after the 2020 election and once told an audience that men should have ordered women to “shut your yap, and go home and take care of the children.”
Archbishop James Golka, installed in March, has asked Ripperger to take a yearlong “fast” from public speaking.
In July, podcaster Shawn Ryan gave Ripperger a SIG rifle on camera in the priest’s own chapel, with the tabernacle behind them. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope…

Amy Acton's brother reacts to Vivek Ramaswamy using their estranged mother in a campaign ad:
"...Our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants.”

BREAKING: Elon Musk personally ordered to choke off Starshield, the military-grade Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration, per US officials to WSJ.
Despite this, Musk went on and claimed "Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS."
Ukraine says Starshield is still throttled as of today, to as low as 80 mph.

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway.
To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back.
Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

Today, we had important talks with our American partners and with our other partners from Europe. Steve Witkoff was also here with us in Oslo, and Jared Kushner joined us online.
Ukraine immediately supported American proposal for an energy ceasefire. But Russia responded by continuing its attacks. We offered different options. We are ready not to hit sensitive parts of Russia’s energy sector if Russia stops hitting ours. Putin said no. But we’re working to find a solution.
We have some clear ideas on how to get to peace. And we are united with our European partners in this effort, and we want the Americans to take these ideas to the Russians. One of the important ideas is to move to a potential trilateral meeting of the leaders to address the issues that only the leaders can do.
Steve is going to Russia tomorrow. Let’s see what Putin has to say.
Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine and stands for peace.
From a joint press conference with Jonas Gahr Støre and Alex Stubb.

The greatest intelligence failure in American history may not have been a foreign operation. It may have been America's inability to protect itself from its own president.
For years, the evidence of Trump's extraordinary loyalty to Moscow has been mounting. His admiration for Putin, his attacks on NATO, his possession of highly classified American defence secrets, and his repeated willingness to advance Russian interests.
Yet the most extraordinary part of this entire scandal is the American state itself. The FBI, the intelligence community, Congress and the entire national security apparatus have proved incapable of protecting the country from a president whose conduct has repeatedly raised profound questions about his loyalty.
Russia spent decades trying to defeat the United States from the outside. Now Putin can watch an American president dismantle the Western order from within.
And the institutions built to defend America have been unable to stop him.
What an extraordinary national humiliation.
Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @RadioFreeTom argues: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine.
This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath.
National security decisions should be made in our national security interests, and not based on the personal whim of an unstable executive.

Johnson: "If we lose the majority... they'll try to end the Trump administration. His term won't last four years, but just two, because they'll move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027, and they'll try to gradually roll back all the important reforms we've accomplished."

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland says it has NO MORE Patriot interceptors left to give to Ukraine...
Warsaw's Foreign Minister spoke to the Polish Press Agency yesterday, calling it a "genuine problem."
Sikorski said the shortage of interceptors had worsened after the Iran war, and that Russia now produces more missiles.
Zelensky says the U.S. is currently supplying only 12 Patriots per month, 1/4 the number provided under the Biden admin.
Now they won't be getting them from Poland, either.

Imagine bootlicking the government so hard you attack people exercising their First Amendment right to protest it.
This woman shoved an over 65 protester over, all for opposing ICE. Violence to silence dissent. That’s what defending authoritarianism looks like.
The irony is that the government is now sending her to jail.

New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

BREAKING: The U.S. is now preparing to completely abandon Gulf countries, as Trump envoy Tom Barrack directly warns Gulf allies that Washington can no longer guarantee their security indefinitely, telling regional officials in Doha that they must take responsibility for their own defense, signalling the end of the U.S. security umbrella in the Middle East, per the Wall Street Journal.
Barrack said the 80-year-old U.S. security-for-oil arrangement is no longer sustainable, pointing to regional defense partnerships as the way forward. The warning comes as Gulf states face Iranian strikes on U.S. military infrastructure and growing uncertainty over Washington’s future military commitment to the region.
