Factbox-What is the sea drone that rescued US helicopter crew?

WASHINGTON - A U.S. Navy drone rescued two Army helicopter crew members after their helicopter was shot down in the Middle East, in what was believed to be the first known U.S. use of an unmanned military vessel to recover personnel at sea.

The Navy identified the rescue craft as a Saronic Corsair, a 24-foot (7.3-metre) autonomous surface vessel. The drone is part of the Pentagon's push to expand unmanned vehicles alongside traditional assets.

Perfect – President Trump Doubles Down, Bill Pulte Will Takeover as Acting DNI on June 19th

June 9, 2026 | Sundance

Articulate focus with specific intent can pay dividends. Sorry for my absence earlier today. I can confirm the first sentence, between the commas.

Against the backdrop of threats from various legislative branch members, President Donald Trump has doubled down and firmly announced that Bill Pulte will take the position of Acting DNI effective June 19th( aka ‘Juneteenth’).

Delivering the message from his Truth Social account, PresidentTrump has extended his plenary powerand put congress back into the position they hold in government. If congress want’s FISA (702), then reauthorize it. If they don’t want it, then don’t reauthorize it.The issue matters not to the overall national security dynamic.

[SOURCE]

Kash Patel better prepare to get busy. It’s time to put up or shut up. If the FBI carries out a false flag operation (they’d be stupid), or if the CIA attempts to undermine the domestic national security front (they won’t), there is going to be an intense response from Trump and Pulte.

Great job President Donald Trump!

FISA (702) is NOT President Trump’s Problem to Solve

June 9, 2026 | Sundance |

After reading the umpteenth article [example here] from congressional voices talking aboutwhat President Trump needs to do in order for the legislative branch to reauthorize FISA (702), it’s worth reminding everyone how we accept goofy just becausegoofy has become the norm.

The FISA (702) issue belongs entirely to the legislative branch. It is their work product. It is their enacted law, albeit with an expiration date. The executive branch has nothing to do with the law. If congress doesn’t reauthorize. a law they have enacted, that’s on the legislative branch – not the executive branch.

The legislative branch enacted a law;it could be unconstitutionaland has never been tested in the Supreme Court. However, it is their law. If the same legislative branch allows the law to expire, that’s entirely their choice.The executive branch can do nothing to reauthorize a lawthat is entirely in the purview of the legislative branch.

PresidentTrump should not acceptthe legislative branch dysfunctionas if it is his problem to solve. It’s not his monkey.

Somehow thebaseline of responsibility has been permitted to shift from the Legislative Branch to the Executive Branch, and the media are apparently clueless about how the separation of powers actually functions.Even if the Executive Branch wanted to reauthorize it, they can’t.

Somewhere in our modern discussions of things, we havelost sight of the roles and responsibilities within government.

As to the argument of whether or not to reauthorize it,personally I hope congress lets the FISA (702) legislation expire. However, that’s a distinctly moot point when overlaid against who has responsibility for it.

It’s time to teach civics again, and our nation would be well served if the people around President Trumpsimply reminded the media and by extension the American people, that FISA is a congressional responsibility. If they don’t want to reauthorize the law they enacted, then fine; but the issue is all theirs.

The problem of FISA (702) being carried out is multifaceted and complicated. However, the origin of the law and or extension therein, is entirely the responsibility of the Legislative Branch. It really is that simple.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Democrats have coalesced behind an ultimatum:They won’t support a reauthorization of Section 702of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Actas long as Bill Pulte, an ally of President Donald Trump with no national security experience,remains acting directorof national intelligence.

The White House is standing by Pulte, at least publicly, whileaccusing Democrats of holding the spy power “hostage” and putting the country’s “national security at risk.” (read more)

SNAP Benefits Go To 186,000 Dead People... And Stopping Them Might Be Difficult

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a report last month stating that 185,986 deceased people in 29 states were receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as of July 1, 2025, at an annual cost of $419.6 million. It also reported an additional $3 billion in potential fraud, waste, and abuse.

On May 21, a federal jury convicted a man who stole the identity of Carlos Ramon Obregon, who was killed in a 1977 Los Angeles drive-by shooting. Decades after the 14-year-old’s death, the defendant used the dead teen’s identity to collect about $283,000 in government benefits, including SNAP benefits, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, and COVID-19 payments.

That’s just one example that the administration has outlined to highlight the issue. Here’s what to know about the problem of dead recipients, which has been lingering for decades.

Renewed Focus by Trump Admin

Trump directed federal agencies via executive order in March 2025 to ensure “unfettered access” to data from federally funded state programs such as SNAP, also known as food stamps.

In response, the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service told state agencies on May 6, 2025, that all records associated with SNAP must be made available to the federal government.

“For years, this program has been on autopilot, with no USDA insight into real-time data,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins wrote in a letter to states.

Following the USDA’s demand for detailed information on food stamp recipients to review for fraud, a coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia filed a federal lawsuit against the USDA, accusing the agency of unlawfully demanding massive amounts of sensitive SNAP recipient data.

***Election Night Livewire * Maine’s Graham Platner, South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham Aim to Secure Nominations

Matthew Boyle9 Jun 2026

Voters in several states are casting ballots on Tuesday to determine theirRepublican and Democrat nominees in several key races, but two big races with almost certain outcomes in each state are the ones likeliest to steal the show this week.

South Carolina’s longtime Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham aims to secure the GOP nomination for yet another term,while Maine Democrat Graham Platner aims to win his party’s nominationfor the right to face Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in November despite a series of scandals plaguing him in recent weeks.

Both men are likely to walk away with their respective nominationsdespite earlier questions in each campaign as to whether or not they would, and in the case of South Carolina a win by Graham on Tuesday almost certainly locks up the state for the GOP for November — though he will likely face Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews in November.In the case of Platner in Maine, him winning his party’s nomination easily could send shudders down the spines of Democrats who were hoping for a drama-free shot at finally taking down Collins— no easy opponent for Democrats as the longtime GOP senator regularly significantly outperforms her polling data. (ME is entirely devoted to Collins.)

While these two races take the spotlight on Tuesday, other races in Maine and South Carolina — and in North Dakota and Nevada — ••could determine key indicators ahead of November’s general midterm election==. Follow along here on Breitbart News for live breaking news and analysis as results roll in from across the nation.

UPDATE 7:46 p.m. ET:

Now,8 percent is reporting in South Carolina and Graham has expanded his lead somewhat, with 63.1 percent to Lynch’s 23.9 percent. If Graham wins by this amount, it will be yet another testament to the strength of President Donald Trump’s endorsement–and a remarkable turnaround for Graham who was lagging somewhat earlier in the race a few months ago. It looks like Graham is doing much, much better than other GOP incumbent senators like Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) who lost their primary elections earlier this spring.

UPDATE 7:34 p.m. ET:

With2 percent reporting now in South Carolina’s GOP senate primary, Graham leads his GOP primary challenger Mark Lynch significantly. Graham is at 61.5 percent and Lynch is down at 26.9 percent. It’s still early but if this is a sign of things to come this will be one of Graham’s best performances in his last several primary elections.

California Dem Ro Khanna Being Prepped for 2028 Presidential Run by Biden’s Chief of Staff(KEK both Newscum and Harris will lose the minds. But WTF? Ro Khanna???))

Olivia Rondeau9 Jun 2026

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is reportedly being prepared to run for president in 2028 by former President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, who also worked with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra on their respective campaigns.

Sources familiar with the matter told Politico’s Playbook this week that Khanna has caught the attention of Ron Klain, an attorney who was an appointee of former President Barack Obama as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator.

Klain, who was named Biden’s chief of staff after working as a senior adviser on his 2020 campaign,is now a chief legal officer at Airbnb, while “using his personal time” to advise Khanna“as he prepares for a possible 2028 presidential bid,” the outlet reported.

Khanna announced while speaking with left-wing activist Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network Conference in April. that he would “consider” a run after the November midterm elections.

The progressive congressman has championed progressive causes like recently calling to “tear down” U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) andspeaking out against the Republicans’ Laken Riley Act.

Klain was seen as the far-left faction of the Democrat Party’s way to wield more power in the Biden administration, with him telling the Daily Beast in 2021, “Progressives are a big part of our party and making sure their voices are heard here at the White House is a big part of my job.”

In 2022, the following headline graced Politico’s website:“Progressives, once skeptical of Biden, rally around his chief of staff.”

“Once-sidelined liberals see Ron Klain as a critical conduit between them and the West Wing,” the subhead reads.

The outlet’s latest article also revealed that the personal political activities since he left Biden’s orbit are “far more significant and sweeping than previously known.”

Klain entered socialist Mamdani’s circle to help him with debate prep in 2025, and did the same plus general advising for New York congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy.

He is alsoreportedly “assisting” with California’s Democrat nomineefor governor, Xavier Becerraand “advising” Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) on his reelection campaign.

Ahead of a debate between Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) and embattledDemocrat Senate candidate Graham Platner that never happened, Klain also “signed on to do debate prep” to help Platner, Politico noted.

Khanna is also a close ally of Platner’s.

Klain declined to do an interview with the outlet, simply stating that he wants his political activities to remain “low key.”

Pentagon Bans EV Giant BYD from Defense Contracts, Citing Chinese Military Ties

John Hayward9 Jun 2026

The Pentagon has added Chinese techgiant Alibaba, electric vehicle (EV) titan BYD, and search engine Baiduto itslist of companies that cannot secure U.S. defense contracts because they are linked to the Chinese military.

The Department of War beganmaintaining a list of “Chinese military companies” in 2021known as the 1260H list, named after the section of the defense authorization act that created it. Companies on thelist are known to provide services to the People’s Liberation Army(PLA), although they are not explicitly state-owned firms.

The list is supposed to map out the extensive coordination between China’s military complex and private companies, and caution American companies that doing business with named companies could risk their physical or intellectual property to end up in the hands of the PLA.

The new additions, made on Monday,brought the 1260H list up to 188 companies, from 130 last year. Although companies on the list are not automatically subjected to punitive sanctions,the Chinese government considers the 1260H list to be anti-competitive and unfair– more of an effort to “contain” China’s growing industrial sector than to address real security threats.

On Monday the Chinese Embassy to the United Statesaccused the Pentagon of “overstretching the concept of national securityand making discriminatory lists to go after Chinese companies.”

“The U.S. should stop its wrong practice and create a fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for Chinese companies,” the embassy said. (That sounds like Zelensky).

Alibaba released its own statement insisting that it is “not a Chinese military company, nor part of any military-civil fusion strategy.”

“We will take all available legal action against attempts to misrepresent our company,” an Alibaba spokesman said.

The Pentagon noted that Alibaba, BYD, and Baidu areall affiliated with the Chinese Communist government’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Another firm,robotics company Unitree, made the list because it “knowingly received assistance” from the Chinese state.

Fortune noted on Mondaythat all three of China’s top artificial intelligence(A.I.) companies – Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent Holdings –are now 1260H listed entities.

Two chipmakers that were seemingly removed from the list this year, ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies, have been restored. When they vanished from the list in February, some critics said the Trump administration was attempting to placate China ahead of President Donald Trump’s meeting with dictator Xi Jinping.

Rep. John Moolenaar (R-MI), chair of the House Select Committee on China, said Monday that not only was the 1260H list necessary and appropriate, but even stronger action should be taken against companies that appear on it.

“These Chinese companies are working with the Chinese military against our national interests,” he said. “Any of them that are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges should be immediately delisted and their products should be removed from supply chains our country depends on.”

Moolenaar added, “American companies must stop doing business with these threats to our national security; otherwise they are enabling China’s military ascendance.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) chaired a House Oversight Committee task force hearing on Tuesday, detailing what he calls President Joe Biden’s “backdoor amnesty” for more than a million illegal aliens across the United States.

“Prior administrations and the infinite amnesty lobby weaponized the U.S. immigration system both for political gain and at the expense of the American people, putting foreigners over our own citizens,” Gill said to open the hearing:

The Biden Administration flooded our country with millions of illegal aliens, unvetted from all over the globe, and the impact has been to reduce working class wages, to strain our social system, our education system, our healthcare system, and to culturally transform the United States. [Emphasis added]

In particular,Gill pointed to Biden’s massive expansion of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), the little-known quasi-amnesty program that allows foreign nationals to stay in the U.S., despite having no legal immigration status, if the government has designated their home country as having unlivable conditions due to war or natural disaster.

“It was intended to be temporary … yet the Biden Administration abused it and has utilized TPS as a form of backdoor amnesty for over a million people who entered our country illegally,” Gill said.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” he continued, noting that when Biden took office, just 410,000 foreign nationals with TPS in the U.S. By the time Biden left office, that total had ballooned to more than a million foreign nationals with TPS.

“That includes Burma in 2021, Ukraine in 2022, Afghanistan in 2022, Cameroon in 2022, Ethiopia in 2022, Venezuela in 2021 and 2023, Haiti in 2024, and Lebanon in 2024,” Gill said.

“About half of all current TPS beneficiaries weren’t even residing in the United States until after Joe Biden took office. In other words, TPS was a vehicle for providing backdoor amnesty for the very people that the American people saw pouring into our border for four years and voted President Trump to into office to deport,” Gill said.

“Moreover, the vast majority of the people covered under TPS did enter the U.S. illegally. And I think that’s really important. That includes an estimated 95 percent of all Venezuelan TPS holders and 91 percent of all estimated Haitian TPS holders.”

U.S. Completes Strikes in Response to Iran’s Attack on Apache

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed self-defense strikes against Iran, June 9, at the Commander in Chief’s direction in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter.

CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.

U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression.

Viral Influencer: How Bill Gates’ Billions Shape US Medical Research

Bill Gates has long been one of the most admired people in the world, especially since he stepped down from his role running Microsoft to devote himself and much of his fortune to philanthropy. That reputation has been tarnished recently, however, by revelations of the billionaire’s close relation with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and exposés on his own fraught relationships with women.

On the eve of Gates’ private testimony with Congress scheduled for tomorrow, a trove of federal whistleblower documents provided to RealClearInvestigations is renewing questions about how Gates money has bought what critics complain is an untoward influence on government health policy. For almost a quarter of a century, his main vehicle of power, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), allowing Gates to shape the direction of the country’s health strategy in ways that have benefitted his own priorities and pet causes while polishing his image as a benevolent global do-gooder.

At a time of growing concern about the power of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman, Gates’ efforts stand out. Instead of lobbying federal agencies for specific policies, Gates leveraged his wealth to work inside the government, partnering with high-ranking NIH officials to steer taxpayer research funding and design scientific policies for several federal programs.

The cache of several dozen emails and documents, made public for the first time by an NIH whistleblower, reinforces previous reports detailing Gates’s extensive influence over U.S. biomedical research. During the height of the COVID pandemic, Kate Elder, a senior vaccines policy adviser for Doctors Without Borders, complained to Politico, “What makes Bill Gates qualified to be giving advice and advising the U.S. government on where they should be putting the tremendous resources?”

Emails and internal plans, for example, show that the NIH – the world’s largest funder of biomedical research – gave the Gates Foundation first billing for the joint workshops and meeting held on federal property.

Like most philanthropies, the Gates Foundation tries to grow its endowment through investments. Some of these efforts, especially its stake in vaccine companies, blur the lines between profit-seeking and the foundation’s mission to develop and deliver vaccines around the world. This symbiotic relationship between capitalism and charity also benefits Gates, whose power and position hinge in large part on the size of his foundation’s assets. Before the pandemic, The Nation magazine reported that the Gates Foundation had a $40 million stake in CureVac – this was not a grant but an investment. CureVac was one of many companies the nonprofit bought stock in that were working on COVID vaccines and therapeutics.

Around that same period, the Gates Foundation announced that it had begun to “leverage a portion of its $2.5 billion Strategic Investment Fund” to advance the nonprofit’s COVID work. The Gates Foundation also turned a $55 million investment in Pfizer’s COVID vaccine partner, BioNTech, into over $550 million when it sold stock a couple of years later after the vaccine hit the market.

Mike Pompeo

@mikepompeo Jun 8

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination.It was signed simply "C" in green ink.Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.

Alex Younger, former head of MI6, has died at age 62. In 2020, he spoke to the FT about global threats — and why we still need ‘garage shed’ spycraft.

Congratulations to Senator Lindsey Graham of the Great State of South Carolina on his BIG WIN tonight. With almost 60% of the vote against a large field of very capable candidates, there will be no runoff. Now Lindsey will be able to devote his time to passing the desperately needed, and long overdue, SAVE AMERICA ACT! President DJT

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62

Famous author, 92, who was once given medal by Barack Obama dies after being struck by car outside Rhode Island supermarket

A Pulitzer Prize-winning author has died after being hit by a car outside a Rhode Island supermarket.

Gordon S. Wood, 92, one of America's most influential scholars of the Revolutionary era and the founding of the United States, was struck by the vehicle in a shopping plaza parking lot in East Providence on Sunday morning.

Now, as tributes continue to pour in for the renowned academic who was honored by President Barack Obama, police are examining every factor that may have contributed to the crash, including whether the driver may have been distracted.

Evidence gathered so far points to a devastating accident rather than any criminal act.

Wood, a professor emeritus at Brown University, suffered catastrophic injuries after the collision in the parking lot of a Shaw's supermarket.

Emergency dispatch records indicate first responders were alerted to the incident shortly before 11am on Sunday. Wood was rushed to Rhode Island Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

East Providence Mayor Bob DaSilva said investigators are continuing to reconstruct the moments leading up to the collision.

According to DaSilva, the driver, a 69-year-old woman, was traveling through one of the parking lot lanes and attempting to make a left turn when Wood stepped from the sidewalk and a collision occurred.
