Senate Approves $70 Billion for Immigration Enforcement, Rejects SAVE Act.

The Senate has passed a significant funding bill aimed at bolstering immigration enforcement, allocating billions to ICE, Border Patrol, and related agencies, but voted down an amendment that would have included SAVE America election integrity measures in the package.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Senate has passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill in a 52–47 vote in the early hours of Friday morning, following a marathon series of overnight votes. The legislation funds federal agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol for the next three years, focusing on expanding enforcement operations and infrastructure. However, the Senate also voted to block an amendment that would have added SAVE America election integrity measures to the reconciliation package.
📺 DETAIL: The bill allocates $38.2 billion to ICE for hiring, detention efforts, and technological upgrades, while Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will receive $26 billion for personnel and surveillance enhancements. Additional funding includes $5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and $1.5 billion for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to support immigration-related legal processes. The SAVE America measures were excluded after Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Thom Tills (R-NC) joined with the Democrats to block it.
🎯 IMPACT: This bill significantly strengthens federal immigration enforcement, supporting President Donald J. Trump’s policies on border security and deportations. It also underlines the ongoing division between President Trump, the MAGA movement, and the GOP establishment over election integrity measures such as voter ID, with clashes between the administration and congressional Republicans over the issue likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

UK ‘Conservative’ Leader Pushed DEI Judges in ‘Inclusive Britain’ Report.

British “Conservative” Party leader Olukemi “Kemi” Badenoch’s denouncement of Nigel Farage for saying “white lives matter too” as “tribalism” contrasts with her in promoting DEI initiatives when she was in government.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Olukemi Olufunto “Kemi” Adegoke Badenoch, the Nigeria-raised leader of Britain’s “Conservative” Party, publicly denounced Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage for promoting “tribalism” and “taking sides” when he said “white lives matter too” following the murder and wrongful arrest of white teenager Henry Nowak. However, her record as Minister of State for Equalities in the former Conservative government shows she endorsed DEI-driven recruitment in the police and the judiciary.
📰 DETAIL: The “Inclusive Britain” report, which Badenoch pioneered as Minister for Women and Equalities, declares that “promoting and celebrating diversity is hugely important.” In her foreword to the April 2023 update on the report, she describes its initiative as “pioneering” and said she was “proud” to have her name on it. Still live on GOV.UK, it boasts that the stop-and-search disparity between black and white ethnic groups had “decreased substantially,” that Britain had reached its highest-ever proportion of ethnic minority police officers since records began, and that, following a campaign Badenoch launched in 2022, more than 1 in 5 magistrate applicants were from an ethnic minority background. “We are committed to improving diversity in the judiciary and the MoJ is working with the Judicial Diversity Forum to improve the rate of progress of under-represented groups into judicial posts,” the report stresses.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I am also pleased to report that as of December 2022, we now have the highest proportion of ethnic minority police officers since records began and following our campaign launched in 2022 to broaden the diversity of the magistracy, more than 1 in 5 of those who applied to be magistrates were from an ethnic minority background.” – Kemi Badenoch
🎯 IMPACT: Badenoch’s efforts to paint Nigel Farage as promoting identity politics while she is opposed to it in all forms have lost credibility in light of her record in government. While she said, “I don’t want to hear about black lives matter, I don’t want to hear about white lives matter” following Henry Nowak’s murder, she publicly stated that “Black lives do matter” following the death of George Floyd in 2020.

Americans Born After 1970 Are Dying Younger.

A new study reveals that Americans born after 1970 are experiencing higher mortality rates from heart disease, cancer, and overdoses, signaling a troubling trend in life expectancy.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates that Americans born after 1970 are dying at higher rates from heart disease, cancer, and external causes compared to previous generations at the same ages.
📰 DETAIL: The research utilized a Lexis diagram to track generational mortality rates, revealing that those born in the 1950s marked a turning point where survival rates began to decline. Researchers analyzed U.S. mortality data from 1979 through 2023 and identified the 1950s-born Baby Boomer cohort as a turning point, with generations born afterward showing worsening outcomes across major causes of death. The study found rising mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and external causes among late Generation X and older Millennials, contributing to the nation’s stalled life-expectancy gains. Scientists said the trend is particularly concerning because these generations have not yet reached the ages when many chronic illnesses become most common, raising fears that mortality rates could worsen further as they age.
🎯 IMPACT: Researchers also noted a broader deterioration in adult mortality beginning around 2010, driven largely by heart disease, and warned that the United States could face prolonged stagnation or even declines in life expectancy if the trend is not reversed. This trend has continued with subsequent generations, exacerbated by factors such as obesity and the opioid epidemic. This could have significant implications for public health policy and economic planning.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The 1950–1959 birth cohort represents a transition cohort, wherein there were general improvements in mortality across cohorts born before and general deterioration in mortality across cohorts born after. Alarmingly, cohorts born after 1970 exhibited deteriorating patterns in all major cause groups at young and middle-adult ages. Layered on these cohort dynamics was a broad mortality deterioration that began around 2010 and was experienced by nearly all living adult cohorts at the time, driven primarily by cardiovascular disease mortality,” the paper observes.

Dem State Law Requires Schools and Colleges to Hand Out Abortion Drugs.

Colorado schools and universities will be required to provide access to abortion drugs next year, with exemptions for federal funding and religious beliefs.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Public schools and universities in Colorado will be required to provide access to abortion drugs starting August next year.
📺 DETAIL: Last week, Democrat Governor of Colorado Jared Polis signed a law mandating public schools and universities to stock and provide access to abortion drugs by August 2027. If an institution lacks a pharmacy from which it can dispense the drugs, they will need to be made available either at a designated student health center or an off-campus pharmacy. Several large universities, including the University of Denver and Metropolitan State University, have already announced their intention to comply with the mandate. Specifically, schools and universities will be looking to stock and provide Mifepristone, which is used in combination with misoprostol to terminate early pregnancies.
🎯 IMPACT: This mandate will lead to increased availability of abortion drugs, particularly to young people on campuses. The implementation of House Bill 1335 follows investigations into, funding restrictions for, and restrictions on Mifepristone by the Trump administration. The law will likely spark ethical, religious, and medical concerns as the drugs are rolled out across campuses, potentially leading to legal challenges. Roughly 60 percent of abortions in the United States are performed using medication, with Mifepristone being one of the most commonly used abortion drugs nationwide. The law includes some exemptions for schools if compliance would jeopardize federal grants, violate medical standards, or conflict with religious beliefs.
📺 FLASHBACK: In 2024, CVS Health and Walgreens, two of the largest drugstore chains in the country, announced their plans to dispense Mifepristone in a select number of states.

Prosecutors Describe Austin Metcalf’s Last Moments.

The murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet, began on Thursday in Collin County, Texas, with prosecutors revealing that Anthony admitted to the stabbing after his arrest.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Karmelo Anthony, 19, is on trial for allegedly stabbing and killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025. Prosecutors allege Anthony attacked Metcalf after a confrontation over Anthony being asked to leave a team tent, while the defense claims Anthony acted in self-defense during a physical altercation initiated by Metcalf.
📺 DETAIL: According to prosecutors, Metcalf’s final words were, “I’ve been stabbed,” before collapsing and later dying in the arms of his twin brother, Hunter. They also said Anthony admitted to the killing after his arrest. Defense attorneys argued that Anthony acted in self-defense, saying Metcalf initiated the physical confrontation and emphasizing the size difference between the two teens. The defense described Anthony as a hardworking student-athlete who feared for his safety during the encounter. Jurors were shown surveillance footage of the incident and heard testimony from a forensic video analyst as the trial got underway. Anthony, who has been free on bond since his arrest, faces a murder charge.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I’m not alleged, I did it.” – Karmelo Anthony.
🎯 IMPACT: If convicted, Anthony faces a possible life sentence. The trial, which is expected to last two weeks, will determine whether his actions constituted self-defense or a premeditated attack.

State Supreme Court Blocks Fake Elector Lawfare Against Mark Meadows.

The Arizona Supreme Court has upheld the decision of a lower court in a major blow to Democrat state Attorney General Kris Mayes’s efforts to prosecute allies of President Donald J. Trump.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Arizona Supreme Court denied an appeal from Democrat state Attorney General Kris Mayes related to efforts to prosecute allies of President Donald J. Trump. 
📺 DETAIL: Arizona’s Supreme Court denied an appeal requesting that the state’s “fake elector” case return to a grand jury. The case targeted several allies of President Trump, such as former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and others accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. The defense argued that the Electoral Count Act, a law that governs the certification of presidential contests, allowed for alternate electors in cases where the outcome of an election is disputed. A lower court in Phoenix, Arizona, had already ruled that the grand jury was not properly informed about the Electoral Count Act in order to make an informed decision about the case. The Arizona Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s ruling, agreeing that there were procedural problems with the original grand jury. This follows similar rulings in Georgia and Michigan, although similar cases continue in Nevada and Wisconsin.
🎯 IMPACT: The ruling by the state’s Supreme Court is a significant setback for Democrat Attorney General Mayes, who now plans to present the case again to a new grand jury. This development represents the first substantive update on the Arizona “fake elector” case since May, potentially indicating that the case is losing momentum. Joe Biden won the state of Arizona in the 2020 presidential election by just 10,457 votes, making it a key battleground in post-election disputes. Despite the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling, Mayes will continue to pursue the prosecution, underscoring the Democrats’ determination to pursue lawfare against the President and his allies, even several years later.
📺 FLASHBACK: The state’s “fake elector” case has been ongoing for several years. The investigation was launched by Mayes. The case seeks to indict so-called “fake electors” in Arizona, or rather, people who believe President Trump won the state in 2020 Presidential election.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Hits Three-Month High in Polls.

Recent polling from the United Kingdom shows rising support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has hit a three-month high in the polls following white teenager Henry Nowak’s murder and wrongful arrest.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, Find Out Now, a British polling firm, released its latest overview of voting intention in the United Kingdom. The pollsters asked a sample of roughly 3,000 British adults, “Thinking about your own constituency, if a general election were held tomorrow, which party would you vote for?” The resulting polling shows Reform in the lead with 27 percent. The other parties trailed by double digits. The formerly governing Conservative Party and the far-left Greens were placed in joint-second on 17 percent, the governing Labour Party of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was on 15 percent, and the Liberal Democrats were on 11 percent. Support for parties grouped under “Other,” such as the Elon Musk-backed Restore Britain party, totaled seven percent.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Our ongoing voting intention tracker finds the highest score for Reform in 3 months.” – Tyron Surmon, Head of Research at Find Out Now.
🎯 IMPACT: The poll showed a rise in support for Reform compared to previous months, with the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats experiencing a dip, and Labour and the far-left Greens remaining stagnant. The poll was conducted between Wednesday and Thursday this week. These findings represent a three-month high in support for Reform. The uptick in support for Reform UK coincides with the release of bodycam footage of the murder and wrongful arrest of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student, in Southampton, England. This may indicate rising salience around anti-white ideology, two-tier policing, and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) policies and training in public institutions. Nowak was stabbed to death by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa with an eight-inch Sikh religious dagger. Digwa and his family falsely accused Nowak of being racially abusive. When the police arrived, Nowak told the officers repeatedly that he had been stabbed, but the officers dismissed his pleas for assistance and handcuffed him shortly before he died. In response to the footage, Farage said the British public should feel “pure, cold rage.”

U.S. State Department Recognizes ‘Two-Tiered Policing’ in Britain.

The U.S. State Department has recognized the reality of two-tier policing in Britain following the murder and wrongful arrest of 18-year-old white student Henry Nowak.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. State Department recognized the existence of two-tier policing in Britain in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, stating that such practices are a sign of “civilizational decline” following the murder of Henry Nowak, who police handcuffed as he bled out from multiple stab wounds instead of being helped because his Sikh killer falsely accused him of racism.
📺 DETAIL: The State Department’s post comes amid growing scrutiny of British policing practices following the murder of 18-year-old Nowak in Southampton, where officers were criticized for handcuffing and arresting the dying teenager after allegedly accepting false accusations of racism made by his murderer, Vikrum Digwa. The case has fueled accusations that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-influenced policing policies have resulted in differential treatment by law enforcement based on “anti-white prejudice,” prompting the National Police Chiefs’ Council to review its controversial anti-racism guidance. The debate has expanded beyond policing to the wider justice system, with critics including Reform UK leader Nigel Farage arguing that Britain has developed a system of “two-tier justice,” while government officials and some policing experts reject claims of systemic anti-white bias. British ministers have nevertheless acknowledged that mistakes were made in the Nowak case and confirmed that race-related policing guidance is under review following public backlash. The State Department’s public recognition of the issue marks a rare instance of a U.S. government agency weighing in on a contentious domestic policy debate within a close ally, underscoring the growing international attention surrounding questions of policing, equality before the law, and public trust in British institutions.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West. The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.” – State Department
🎯 IMPACT: The State Department’s post could increase tensions between the Trump administration and Britain’s left-wing Labour government, which has consistently denied the existence of two-tier policing. The Trump administration and Labour have already clashed over issues such as Iran, free speech, and the Chagos Islands.

Coroner Will Investigate Potential Police Role in Henry Nowak’s Death.

A coroner has confirmed an inquest will examine whether police actions or delays contributed to the death of 18-year-old white student Henry Nowak in Southampton, England.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: An inquest into the death of white student Henry Nowak has been announced and scheduled for September 2027. The 18-year-old Nowak was fatally stabbed by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa with an eight-inch Sikh religious dagger. Digwa and his family called the police, falsely claiming Nowak had racially attacked him. Police roughly arrested the teenager upon arrival, dismissing his pleas for an ambulance and cries of “I’ve been stabbed” and “I can’t breathe.”Within moments of being pushed down and handcuffed, Nowak fell unconscious and never revived. The release of the bodycam footage has sparked concerns about anti-white ideology and two-tier policing.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The issue in this case is likely to be whether any act or omission by a police officer or any delay in the treatment Henry Nowak received caused or contributed to death. An inquest will allow such scrutiny, it will be a public hearing on the broad circumstances by which Henry came by his death. Having an inquest will allow Henry’s family to effectively participate in those proceedings.” – Coroner Jason Pegg.
🎯 IMPACT: The case has drawn significant attention, national and international, public and political. The incident has raised concerns over police training as well as racial and ideological pressures. The inquest is expected to provide clarity on the role of law enforcement in the events leading to Nowak’s death.
📺 DETAIL: The inquest will determine whether “any act or omission” by the police contributed to Nowak’s death. Hampshire coroner Jason Pegg concluded that the circumstances surrounding Nowak’s death had not been fully investigated. As such, an inquest has been scheduled for 20 September 2027, with the possibility of bringing the date forward. This follows the argument put forward by a Home Office pathologist that Nowak would not have survived even if emergency care was administered. “No emergency medical treatment would have permitted access to the bleeding vein… In simple terms, he would not have survived, however quickly he received first aid, CPR or expert medical treatment,” said Judge William Mousley KC, relaying the pathologist’s conclusion during the sentencing hearing. Nevertheless, Pegg argued that the state had a “duty to carry out a public investigation.” “When Henry Nowak died, he had been arrested—he was in custody of the state. What that means is article two, or the right to life, the investigative duty has been triggered,” said Pegg. The inquest will take place at Winchester Coroner’s Court in Hampshire, England.

House Advances $8 Billion Ukraine Aid Package.

The House of Representatives sent mixed messages on U.S. foreign policy on Wednesday, opposing hostilities with the Islamic Republic of Iran while approving a massive military aid package for Ukraine.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The House of Representatives voted to continue funding the war in Ukraine the same day it passed a war powers resolution against President Donald. J. Trump over Iran.
📺 DETAIL: On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted 215–208 on a war powers resolution to rein in President Donald J. Trump from taking further military action against Iran. The measure was passed after four Republicans voted with the Democrats in defiance of the President. However, on the same day, also in defiance of the President, the House voted to continue military aid to Ukraine. The House voted 218-204 in a procedural motion allowing for a vote on the Ukraine Support Act, a piece of legislation authored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY). The bill gifts $8 billion in military financing loans to Ukraine, extends the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows for the U.S. to send Ukraine weapons from U.S. stockpiles, and imposes additional sanctions on Russia, among other measures.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This vote is not a process vote, it’s a statement on whether this Congress and all of its members stand with and support Ukraine and the people of Ukraine, and its fight for freedom, its fight for democracy, and its fight for liberty.” – Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) on the procedural motion.
🎯 IMPACT: The regularity with which Congress has defied the President recently, from ending the Anti-Weaponization Fund, a measure to compensate victims of government lawfare, to pushing a war powers resolution, suggests the executive is coming under increased pressure from the legislature, both in relation to domestic and foreign policy.
