More updates for you on our efforts to defend the homeland and protect the American people from our foreign adversaries.
 
This week, Cadence Design Systems Inc., a multinational electronic design automation software and hardware company, plead GUILTY to committing criminal export violations and will pay more than $140 MILLION in criminal and civil penalties. Cadence sold SENSITIVE semiconductor design tools and technology to a RESTRICTED Chinese military university involved in the development of supercomputers which are believed to support military and nuclear explosion simulations in China.
 
Our country’s talented technology innovators – particularly within Silicon Valley’s semiconductor industry – stand amongst the best in the world. Your FBI, along with our partners, will continue to protect our most sensitive industries and innovators from reaching the hands of our ENEMIES.

This plea deal is a wakeup call for the semiconductor industry to take our export control laws SERIOUSLY and to better monitor where our leading-edge technology is going. The FBI will never stop working to identify and stop these ILLEGAL actions.
 
I’d like to highlight the great work of FBI San Francisco, the FBI Counterintelligence Division, and the CommerceGov for their continued efforts to safeguard this technology. This work is CRITICAL to defending the homeland and protecting you, the American people.
 
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

The gerrymander in California is outrageous. Of their 52 congressional districts, 9 of them are Republican. That means 17 percent of their delegation is Republican when Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in that state.

How can this possibly be allowed?

Today, GDP growth came in above market expectations, and yesterday, consumer confidence rose. Americans trust in President Trump’s America First economic agenda that continues to prove the so-called ‘experts’ wrong. President Trump has reduced America’s reliance on foreign products, boosted investment in the US, and created thousands of jobs — delivering on his promise to Make America Wealthy Again. The data is clear and there are no more excuses, now is the time for ‘too late’ Powell to cut the rates!

He ignored commands to put his hands up, reached into his waistband, and pulled out a replica pistol.

Very reasonably, Deputy Jacob Diaz responded with deadly force.

Radical activists demanded Diaz be charged with murder—and the special prosecutor did just that.

A small swell gently rocking the boats in Marina del Rey on Wednesday morning was a welcome sight after a tsunami advisory was issued in the wake of a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Russia hours earlier.

As the current administration’s Justice Department is looking into former President Biden’s mental decline during his waning days in office, author Chris Whipple is claiming that there may not be as big of a fire behind the proverbial smoke.

In May 2025, Organized Retail Theft Investigators from Lowe’s and Home Depot contacted the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office regarding a shoplifting theft series in the Sacramento Valley involving a male suspect, whom the Sacramento Sheriff Organized Retail Crimes detectives were able to identify as 32-year-old Tyson John Senovio Renowden of Sacramento County. On May 30th, 2025, Renowden was arrested by the Lincoln Police Department on felony theft charges but was released a few days later on pre-trial probation and was outfitted with a GPS ankle monitor. Between June 4th, 2025, and July 28th, 2025, Renowden committed thefts at Lowe’s and Home Depot locations throughout the region over 100 additional times, even after being placed on pre-trial probation.
