Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton visited Omaha, Nebraska, to attend a Democrat party fundraiser dubbed “Pumpkins, Pies and Politics.”

“Everything that we could hope for in the lead-up to the next election is really happening. … We just have to stay focused and on task and turn out the vote and celebrate when we take back the House and the Senate,” Hillary Clinton said to cheers.

Hillary trashed Trump ahead of the midterm elections and said his popularity is wearing off.

“I think what originally seemed like, ‘Oh, he’s a different kind of leader. He says what he thinks, ’all of that, I think that it’s beginning to finally sink through to people, like, ‘Wait a minute, am I better off? Has my life improved?’” Clinton said.

“I look at other people, especially those who are doing really, really well. And they seem to be enjoying a lot of access to the president, and even the president has made a lot of money,” she said.

Clinton was asked what she would change about her career.

“If you could do it all over, what would you do differently?” an audience member asked Hillary Clinton.

“I would’ve not just won the popular vote but the electoral college,” Clinton said of her crushing 2016 loss to Trump.

WATCH:

Since her humiliating loss to Trump in 2016, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly called for the abolition of the Electoral College.

“I believe we should abolish the Electoral College and select our president by the winner of the popular vote, same as every other office,” Hillary said on X in 2020.

“But while it still exists, I was proud to cast my vote in New York for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” she said.

Abolishing the Electoral College requires a Constitutional Amendment.

Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz is being accused again of sex trafficking by two anonymous women who filed a lawsuit against him and two others in federal court on Thursday. 

This follows past accusations of sex trafficking, which were weaponized by RINOs in the House of Representatives, despite the Department of Justice declining to prosecute.

It can be recalled that a House Ethics Committee investigation was reopened back in 2023 as Gaetz ramped up challenges to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was later ousted by Gaetz’s Motion to Vacate the chair. When Gaetz threatened to bring the Motion to Vacate against McCarthy in October 2023, McCarthy’s RINO allies began threatening to expel Gaetz based on the committee’s investigation.

The committee’s revival of the junk allegations against Gaetz notably came after the Biden DOJ exonerated Gaetz of criminal wrongdoing and dropped all charges in February 2023.

Gaetz resigned from Congress in November 2024 after Trump announced his nomination for Attorney General of the United States. In an attempt to thwart his Senate confirmation and despite no longer having jurisdiction over Gaetz as a private citizen, the committee later released a report alleging that Gaetz made tens of thousands of dollars in payments to women for sex while he was a member of Congress.

Now, a couple of anonymous accusers under the alias “Jane Doe 1” and “Jane Doe 2” are using the Ethics Committee’s report to dredge up new claims of exploitation in a civil lawsuit nearly two years later.

The complaint also relies heavily on discredited Ethics Committee star witness Joel Greenberg, who previously admitted to working with Democrat prosecutors to take down Republican politicians and that he fabricated allegations of sex trafficking against Gaetz.

Per MS Now:

The women, identified as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, are accusing Gaetz, former Florida state Rep. Chris Dorworth and Joel Greenberg, a former tax collector in Florida’s Seminole County, of “recruitment and sexual exploitation” from 2017 through January 2019 — while Gaetz was a sitting member of Congress. The lawsuit relies in part on a House Ethics Committee report that concluded Gaetz paid roughly a dozen women for sex between 2017 and 2020.

The plaintiffs’ complaint also draws from Greenberg’s plea agreement, in which he acknowledged engaging in commercial sex acts with the minor described in the complaint as “Victim A” and “introduc[ing] the Minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts with the Minor in the Middle District of Florida.” Greenberg is serving an 11-year federal prison sentence in Florida on sex trafficking and fraud convictions.

The accusers allege Gaetz and Greenberg “coordinated the recruitment, payments, drugs, and travel to obtain commercial sexual acts from young women,” and accuse Dorworth of “knowingly” participating.

The 38-page complaint, filed in the Middle District Court of Florida, describes the defendants as “men of power, wealth, and privilege who used their positions not to protect the vulnerable but to prey upon them.” The complaint states that one of the women was 20 years old when she met Gaetz, now 44, and that the other was 22 when she first met Greenberg, now 42.

“I look forward to taking the plaintiffs’ depositions because much of the conduct alleged against me is false,” Gaetz said in response to the lawsuit, according to the Miami Herald.

“The lawsuit relies almost exclusively on a Congressional Committee report that didn’t allow me to confront my accusers. Now I will finally have that chance.”

Gaetz later responded in an X post, writing, “Jane Doe Strikes Again!”

“Two adult women sued me today alleging they were sex trafficked to the Bahamas. I’m shocked nobody responded to their repeated cries for help, posted to instagram,” he said, sharing a screenshot of one of the alleged victims’ Instagram posts from the Bahamas back in September 2018.

“#Bahamas #beers and #babes are all you need,” the woman wrote in her post.

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed former CIA Director John Brennan’s lawsuit seeking to force the Trump Administration to preserve records for his defense in the Spygate case.

US District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, said Brennan lacked standing.

Brennan’s lawyers argued that the Justice Department’s case against him amounts to “vindictive prosecution” and political retaliation.

Judge Cobb found that Brennan had not shown that the records were being destroyed.

Brennan is testifying today in the DOJ’s sprawling Spygate investigation.

In the summer of 2025, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.

John Brennan is the “target” of the grand jury Russiagate probe in South Florida.

Last month, Joe DiGenova, a former US Attorney under Reagan, was tapped to oversee the Spygate probe in Florida, resigned; however, the investigation is still going full steam ahead, according to prosecutors.

Brennan’s attorney was informed that the former CIA Director is under investigation over whether he made false statements to Congress in 2023.

John Brennan was also separately referred for prosecution by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

Chairman Jordan referred Brennan to the DOJ for knowingly making false statements during a May 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee.

The Department of Justice unfortunately has no shortage of work when it comes to going after blue state officials suppressing Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

According to a Justice Department news release from Wednesday, the agency has opened an investigation into Pennsauken, New Jersey, to determine whether the process for acquiring a firearms license is unjustifiably lengthy and difficult.

The focus is on the Pennsauken Township Police’s permitting system.

The DOJ said the system “deprives citizens of their right to bear arms through egregious and unjust delays in issuing firearm licenses.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation noted some of the specific obstacles of obtaining a permit.

An applicant for concealed carry needs four references, an address history for the last 10 years, and fingerprints.

That’s quite a lot for a right given by God, and recognized by the Constitution, to defend oneself.

The Justice Department news release added that “it is a violation of the Second Amendment for government officials to delay issuing permits to purchase or carry firearms.”

The agency also cited the 2022 Supreme Court decision New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, noting that “a state’s permitting process is put towards ‘abusive ends’ when ‘lengthy wait times in processing license applications or exorbitant fees deny ordinary citizens their right to public carry.’”

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon echoed much of the release’s comments via X, saying that her office “is investigating whether Pennsauken, NJ, is preventing residents from timely obtaining purchase permits to legally acquire firearms.”

“The right to bear arms is protected by the Constitution for every American — it is not a second-class right!”

For context, Pennsauken sits across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

For 2025, Security.org ranked Philadelphia as the 8th highest in crime for the entire country.

Pennsauken residents without the means to defend themselves could be left at the mercy of criminals.

But that information is tangential to the real issue at play in the right to keep and bear arms.

It should not matter if Pennsauken is the safest place on earth or the most violent.

These are rights upon which government cannot infringe.

The Justice Department should strip this process for Pennsauken down to the simplest one possible.

President Trump on Thursday said targeting of the Mexican drug cartels on land has been ongoing for months and that a “full blast” attack on the drug traffickers is now underway. 

Trump delivered the remarks at a Rose Garden lunch with first responders this afternoon.

A White House official said the following organizations were in attendance: International Association of Fire Fighters, National Volunteer Fire Council, the National Sheriffs Association, the National Association of Police Organizations, National Volunteer Fire Council, International Association of Chiefs of Police, National Fraternal Order of Police, National Sheriffs’ Association, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, National Border Patrol Council, and International Association of Chiefs of Police.

The comments about an escalation with the cartels on land come amid escalating hostilities between the cartels and US law enforcement. Earlier this month, US Coast Guard personnel reportedly exchanged gunfire with individuals across the border in Starr County, Texas. Also this month, a Mexican cartel threatened to kidnap federal agents at the Texas-Mexico border.

Hundreds of additional US troops have recently been deployed to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley.

“I will tell you the drugs coming in by sea, by ocean, by sea are down 97 percent, and we don’t understand why it’s not 100 percent,” Trump said on Thursday, highlighting the US military and Coast Guard’s war on drug trafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean Sea.

He then said that a “full blast” targeting of the cartels on land is “starting.”

“We haven’t even started — we haven’t done the land full blast yet, but it’s starting. We have to work,” Trump said. “We’re working with Mexico, but unfortunately the cartels run Mexico.”

“I tell that to the president of Mexico. She’s not happy. She’s a great woman, wonderful woman, but the cartels run Mexico, but we’ve hit them hard, and it’s very, very — we wanted to do the sea and the water first because the water that’s harder to do, and people didn’t realize that a big percentage of the drugs come in by the sea, by the water,” Trump continued.

Trump later said, “The land is really just starting. It started a few months ago. We’re hitting them very hard.”

“We know all the paths, we know where all the bad guys are, the cartels, we know where they live, and we’re hitting them hard, but it’s going to be harder as we go along. They know they have a certain period of time to essentially give up.”

“Mexico should be doing it, but honestly, they’re not capable of doing it,” he continued.
