💰 TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: Hochul just committed $7.25 MILLION to legal services for roughly 1,400 unaccompanied immigrant children facing removal proceedings.

The money will flow through a coalition led by the Hispanic Federation after a federal legal-services contract expired on July 31.

New York had other options: recruit pro bono attorneys as federal law encourages, fund basic legal orientation, press federal officials for faster hearings and demand enforcement of final removal orders. Paid representation could be prioritized for trafficking victims and children whose cases present potentially valid claims for protection.

Not to mention the federal government had already assigned a temporary legal-services provider and awarded a new contract BEFORE Hochul announced this spending.

Even so, now New Yorkers will pick up the bill while total state funding for the Office for New Americans approaches a staggering $87 MILLION.

Families are being crushed by rent, groceries, utilities and the second-highest overall state tax burden in America. Albany’s priority is building an even larger taxpayer-funded immigration legal machine.

Should New Yorkers be forced to finance these removal fights?

NEW: Arkansas State Police arrested a man after a high-speed pursuit on Interstate 555 ended in a crash that seriously injured two elderly people.

According to state police, the pursuit began around 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5, when a trooper attempted to stop a northbound Hyundai Sonata near the 24-mile marker for a traffic violation.

Police said the driver, identified as 32-year-old Laloyd L. Hamilton, refused to stop and accelerated to speeds of approximately 130 mph.

As the pursuit reached the 28-mile marker, the trooper used a tactical vehicle intervention, causing Hamilton’s vehicle to collide with another vehicle. The third vehicle overturned on the east side of the interstate.

A 68-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man were inside the other vehicle. Both were taken to Regional One Medical Center in Memphis with serious injuries. Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for their recovery🙏🏻

Following the crash, investigators searched Hamilton’s vehicle and reportedly found narcotics, including marijuana, pills and an unidentified liquid substance.

Hamilton was booked into the Poinsett County Detention Center on charges including felony fleeing, second-degree battery, criminal mischief, possession with purpose to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, hazardous driving and driving while intoxicated.

Young people have been failed by California's extreme partisan politics. They've grown up in a state that's less and less affordable. Their well-being was neglected in the COVID years.

I'm inspired that so many are fighting to change that. Hear their voices:

UPDATE: At least six deaths in Indiana have been linked to storms that triggered what many described as historic flooding, according to Gov. Mike Braun.

Several dozen people and their pets were rescued Saturday as floodwaters rose along the White River in Indianapolis, and emergency managers said that number was expected to climb as authorities in the city and elsewhere in central Indiana responded to the ongoing flood threats.

"This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime type floods," Jacob Spence, director of Marion County Emergency Management, told The Associated Press. "So yeah, this is an unprecedented event and unfortunately we're setting some new records."

Gov. Mike Braun: "I spoke with President Trump today about the severe storms and historic flooding impacting Indiana, and he informed me that he intends to approve our request for a Presidential Emergency Declaration.

I’m grateful to President Trump for his commitment to getting Hoosiers the federal assistance we need as we continue responding and recovering."

The liberals are going to HATE this one: America recorded its largest single-year DECLINE in violent crime since 1937. Attorney General Todd Blanche joined President Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel and a SEA of New York law-enforcement officers to highlight the historic decline.

Preliminary FBI data collected from more than 17,000 law-enforcement agencies show violent crime plunged an estimated 9.3 percent in 2025. M*rder and non-negligent manslaughter fell 18.1 percent, robbery dropped 18.5 percent, r*pe declined 7.6 percent and aggravated ass*ult fell 7.2 percent.

These numbers represent thousands of Americans who were not robbed, attacked or lost to violent criminals. They also represent officers confronting dangerous offenders, serving warrants and protecting communities while anti-police activists continue treating law enforcement like the enemy.

For years, the Left demanded fewer officers, weaker enforcement, revolving doors on prisons, and more sympathy for criminals. America NEEDS more cops, stronger consequences and leaders who stand with the people holding the line.

How many more communities could be saved if politicians stopped treating police like the problem?

It's been about 100 days since I retired as police chief after nearly 30 years in law enforcement.

A few things I've learned already: You don't realize how much stress you're carrying until you're no longer carrying it. The department moves on. The phone gets quieter. I miss the people, but I definitely don't miss the drama.

I put together some thoughts on what I've learned so far, including a few things I see very differently now that I'm no longer sitting in the chief's chair.

Democrats plan decade-long strategy to push pro-transgender narrative

Democrats are launching a long-term strategy to promote transgender policies by highlighting stories of teen discrimination to counter expected GOP attacks.
While the Human Rights Campaign plans to spend $15 million on visibility, Democrats anticipate Republican ad campaigns that depict transgender issues as a threat to children and family values.

This FBI is taking the fight to fentanyl at EVERY level — from Chinese precursors, to the cartels, to the dealers, to the dirty money financing it all.

🇺🇸 3,200+ kg of fentanyl seized
🇺🇸 247+ MILLION potentially lethal doses
🇺🇸 Nearly 10% more seized than the final 18 months of the Biden administration
🇺🇸 $200+ MILLION in assets confiscated
🇺🇸 Thousands arrested
🇺🇸 Thousands of weapons seized
🇺🇸 59 Homeland Security Task Forces with 9,000+ personnel

We’re not just taking fentanyl off the streets — we’re dismantling the entire network from top to bottom.

These historic results are made possible through the leadership and direction of POTUS , who has made it clear: put the American people FIRST.

ARRESTED, CHARGED, AND STILL REFUSING TO RESIGN?

The mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts, is accused of turning pandemic relief into his personal bailout!

Federal prosecutors say Brian DePeña obtained more than $1.5 MILLION in COVID-era Small Business Administration loans intended for his tire company. More than $880,000 allegedly went toward high-interest mortgages on properties he owned, another $90,000 allegedly entered his mayoral campaign account and additional money allegedly paid personal tax debts.

DePeña now faces one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering. His attorney says he intends to fight the charges and has no plans to resign.

Pandemic assistance was supposed to rescue struggling businesses and protect American jobs. It was never supposed to become a politician’s mortgage fund, tax bailout or campaign piggy bank.

Can a mayor facing allegations this serious credibly remain in office?
