A newly published peer-reviewed study has found measurable levels of the abortion drug mifepristone in municipal tap water samples collected from three American cities.

The research, titled “Anti-Progesterone in Environmental Water,” was authored by Elise Rose, PhD, of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, and Michael Varveris, M.D.

The study was published in the July 20 issue of Issues in Law & Medicine.

Researchers collected water samples upstream and downstream of treatment facilities as well as from municipal taps in Austin, Texas; Blacksburg, Virginia; and Carbondale, Illinois.

The results found significant anti-progesterone consistent with mifepristone in eight of the nine sampling categories, with concentrations reaching as high as 0.041 micrograms per liter, or 41 parts per trillion.

Conventional water treatment processes did not consistently remove the compound, and shockingly, in some cases, levels were higher downstream than upstream.

The study explains that mifepristone is a synthetic anti-progesterone steroid hormone classified as an endocrine-disrupting compound.

Progesterone plays critical roles in fertility, pregnancy, and fetal development.

The authors concluded that the presence of this contaminant “could affect the physiology of aquatic animals and human health, including fertility, pregnancy and fetal development,” and called for significant additional investigation into hormones and endocrine disruptors in water sources.

Students for Life Action, which inspired and supported the testing effort after commercial labs declined the work, said that the findings validate their work.

“A study inspired by Students for Life’s clean water advocacy shows that our concerns are valid,” said Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins. “In three cities where water was tested, the active metabolites of mifepristone, the Chemical Abortion Pill, were in the water. We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility. You don’t have to be pro-life to want crystal clear drinking water.”

SFLA Executive Vice President Tina Whittington added, “We were told we had to prove mifepristone was in the water in the U.S. to get anyone to care. On our own we started to reach out to water testing companies only to have our business declined. Our frustration became inspiration for this group to find the path to test our drinking water and while we have been vindicated, I hope the larger response is urgency to clean up our water. The harm to endangered species and potentially the human harm is incalculable.”

Dr. Rose stated, “Because of the importance of progesterone for human and animal health, the presence of anti-progesterone in environmental and tap water poses potential health risks. Everyone should be concerned that we are possibly being exposed to an endocrine-disrupting compound without our consent.”

Medication abortion using mifepristone has become the most common method of abortion in the United States.

The study has been submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for review by its advisory committee.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) calmly shut down CBS’s Margaret Brennan after the leftist host tried to entrap him with a nasty question regarding the SAVE America Act.

On Sunday, Kennedy appeared on “Face the Nation” to discuss a variety of topics, including the recent Saudi Nuclear Deal, energy prices, and election integrity. Not surprisingly, the interview grew testy when Brennan brought up the SAVE America Act.

Brennan noted that Republicans in the House have embarked on a reconciliation process to pass the election integrity bill. They passed the SAVE America Act less than two weeks ago as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as The Gateway Pundit reported.

Brennan slammed the SAVE America Act as “highly controversial, highly partisan” before ‘asking’ Kennedy whether passing the bill would hurt “faith in our elections” right before the midterms.

Kennedy calmly brushed aside her gotcha question and noted that there were two important things the SAVE America Act does: Number One, it requires people to prove who they say they are to register to vote, and to vote.

Number two, it sets forth a process to go back to having an election day, not an election month.

BRENNAN: You said that you wanted to move forward on what the House just started the process on (The SAVE America Act). That would be a party-line vote.

KENNEDY: Yes, ma’am.

BRENNAN: That would be Republicans jamming this thing through. The SAVE Act is highly controversial, highly partisan. Bigger picture: isn’t going to hurt faith in our elections if a Republican-only policy to change elections is rammed through?

KENNEDY: No. In my opinion, for both sides to have credibility in our elections, we need to do two things:

Number one, you have to prove who you say you are in order to register to vote and to vote.

Number two, we need to go back to having an election DAY, not an election MONTH.

That, to me, is what the SAVE Act is all about. And I think that we can pass it and craft it in a way to survive a Byrd bath (for reconciliation).

We’re not gonna know if we don’t try!

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, recently released diary entries, Tony’s Diary Package, from former White House COVID advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci that show a bizarre, yet characteristic, obsession with fame, even as the death toll from the pandemic grew.

The diaries were public as part of the committee’s ongoing oversight investigation.

Senator Paul shared a series of statments X about the diary and the release, “My investigation uncovered that Anthony Fauci kept a diary. What he wrote privately and what he told the country are two different stories. Today I’m releasing his entries from December 2019 through December 2022.”

“While publicly posturing as a champion of science, he was privately directing his staff to destroy federal records.  This is a blatant violation, a betrayal of the public trust, and further proof that Fauci engaged in a coverup from the very beginning of the pandemic. I’m going to ask him about this when he goes under oath this Wednesday.”

1/9 — My investigation uncovered that Anthony Fauci kept a diary.
What he wrote privately and what he told the country are two different stories.

Today I’m releasing his entries from December 2019 through December 2022. pic.twitter.com/58LvmeYkCN

— Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) July 25, 2026

The entries chronicle early COVID-19 (initially called 2019-nCoV) response activities, Task Force meetings, briefings, scientific discussions, and extensive media work.

Multiple entries record his reactions to praise, media profiles, public adulation, and celebrity status amid the unfolding crisis.

In one entry, Fauci writes that during a White House Task Force meeting in the Situation Room, President Trump publicly praises him as “really a famous guy… the smartest, knowledgeable and outstanding persons he knows.”

He records being “surprised and very pleased” and “stunned and impressed” by the reactions of deputies, despite the meeting’s topic being evacuations, quarantines, and rising case numbers.

After congressional briefings amid discussions of expanding quarantines and a Public Health Emergency declaration, Fauci notes praise such as from former Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) calling him a “national hero” and saying she “felt safe in his arms.”

Fauci also tracked growing media profiles and public gratitude, including noting positive media profiles from Politico and The New York Times, as well as an “amazing outflow of thanks from hundreds of people.”

He describes feeling “pretty safe” due to public adulation while cases surge.

On March 10, 2020, Fauci wrote, “For better or worse, I am becoming an international celebrity. Calls from all over the world.”

In late March–April 2020 entries, Fauci highlighted examples of the ‘adoration’ coming his way even as more and more Americans died and the elderly were trapped in away from loved ones.

He notes stories about “grandmothers who have crushes,” petitions for him as “Sexiest Man Alive,” coverage of his college basketball career, SNL spoofs, bobbleheads, fan merchandise (ie. beers named after him), an Instagram Live with celebrities like Steph Curry, and public “thirst”/fandom described in outlets like The Atlantic.

Senator Paul subpoenaed Fauci in June 2026 after Fauci backed out of a prior voluntary agreement to appear. The session is expected to focus on COVID-19 origins, gain-of-function research funding, related records, and other issues from Fauci’s time as NIAID director.

He is scheduled to testify on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET at a public hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. (

President Trump posted an AI-generated image on Sunday, again likening CNN’s Kaitlan Collins’ appearance to transgender Bud Light influencer Dylan Mulvaney.   

This comes after Trump went off, roasting Collins during his speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday.

“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can. It was Dylan Mulvaney,” the President joked.

“Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. That was the worst commercial ever made, by the way, for those few people that want to hear that. Most people don’t care, but I would. I wouldn’t want to hire Dylan anytime soon,” Trump added. “Think of it, they hired Dylan Mulvaney, and their market cap has gone down by $35 billion! Who wrote that commercial?”

WATCH:

On Sunday morning, Trump posted the following image on Truth Social:

Collins appeared to respond to Trump’s comparison earlier on Saturday in an Instagram post.

Per TMZ, “The CNN Chief White House Correspondent shared a post to her Instagram following the event Saturday with photos of her and longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on the carpet … adding a not-so-subtle Eleanor Roosevelt quote which read, ‘No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.’”

A CNN spokesperson responded to Trump’s comments in a statement, writing, “Kaitlan Collins is an exceptional, trusted journalist being honored tonight for her depth of knowledge and the context she provides to audiences all over the world.”

“She reports every day from the White House and the field with real strength and tenacity and skillfully brings that reporting to the anchor chair and CNN platforms every day. We stand by her to the fullest extent,” they added.

BREAKING NEWS–

Via Nius.de:
Terrorist Abdul Ballout was shot dead today during a police operation in Berlin. This was confirmed by the Senate Department for the Interior.

According to reports, police surrounded a garden plot before moving in and killed the Islamist who drove through the gay pride parade in Berlin on Saturday.

According to Bild.de the terrorist attacked police with a “bladed weapon” before he was killed at 6:34 PM German Time.

Abdul attempted several times to join the Islamic State.

On Saturday a suspect believed to be tied to Berlin’s “Islamist scene” plowed through the Berlin Gay Pride Parade killing at least one person and injuring 16 others. The Berlin Christopher Street Parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in Europe.

The killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual Christopher Street Day celebration.

The Sun reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with a bladed weapon and attacked people in the park near the end of the parade route.

According to Bild.de, the man, currently at large, is known to be a member of the Islamist scene. He is believed to be Abdul B., 21. The manhunt for him is currently underway.

Hours later the media admitted Abdul Ballout was linked to Islamist groups and was on the authorities’ radar.

Abdul was born in Germany but left the country for Lebanon.

According to Drew Pavlou:

Germany identified him as an Islamist threat, so they had him arrested in Lebanon and FLEW HIM BACK TO GERMANY to put him on trial for plotting terror attacks.

He was convicted and sentenced for terrorism offences in May 2026 but released on time served.

By July 2026 he was back on the streets.

German authorities told him to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions.

He responded by carrying out a jihadist terrorist attack on a pride parade.

Obviously, the authorities dropped the ball on this one.

Abdul finished his de-Islamization counseling two months ago. On Saturday he drove his car through the Gay Pride Parade.

Via Adrian Shtuni:

– In May 2026, the Amtsgericht Tiergarten in Berlin sentenced him to a youth sentence of 1 year and 10 months for preparation of a serious state-endangering violent act.
– He was released from juvenile detention in May 2026 on probation and ordered to attend a deradicalization programme.
– Of the 26 scheduled appointments, he is reported to have attended only 2.
– Despite prior violent offenses, documented ISIS affinity, and a concrete attempt to join the group, he was released on probation with minimal oversight.
– Roughly 2 months later he is alleged to have carried out a vehicle-ramming attack.

Abdul Ballout (21) has been identified as the suspect in an attack targeting #Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (CSD/Pride parade).
– One person was killed and 29 others were injured.
– Ballout is a German citizen (born in Berlin in 2005) of Lebanese descent.
