A series of ongoing raids by Mexican authorities uncovered how Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) managed to quietly set up its fuel theft and smuggling operation throughout northern Mexico and South Texas. The new revelations come soon after Breitbart News Foundation reported how CJNG established a cell of gunmen in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila. In recent days, Mexican federal authorities raided a truck yard near Saltillo, Coahuila, where authorities seized numerous trucks, trailers, fuel pumps, and containers that had more than two million liters of illegal fuel.

The Summer Heat (in the Jobs Market) Isn’t a Statistical Illusion The June jobs report came in hot, with payrolls rising by 147,000—easily beating Wall Street’s forecast of less than 110,000. Cue the ritual backlash. Most of the gains, critics quickly noted, came from state and local government hiring. If you subtract that—and, for good measure, toss out health care and social assistance as “government-adjacent”—the private-sector gain dwindles to just 28,000. Not great. While that looks like a sophisticated read of the jobs report, this quickly evaporates under the pressure of thought. It is true that sometimes a strong headline…

It used to be the congressional equivalent of a five-alarm fire: Members of the House Freedom Caucus were holding out, refusing to go along with Republican leaders’ plans for high-stakes legislation. But when Speaker Mike Johnson brought the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” to the House floor this week, few were surprised when the band of hardcore conservatives threatened once again to take down the bill. And even fewer took their threats seriously. “They do this every time — every dadgum time,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a hard-right member who himself has occasionally held out on GOP leaders. The endgame…

Kiev’s accession to the bloc would drag both Brussels and Budapest into conflict with Moscow, the Hungarian prime minister has said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that Ukrainian membership of the EU would destroy both the bloc’s and his country’s economy.Ukraine was granted EU candidate status in 2022, but Orban has argued that allowing the country to join the bloc would draw all members into a direct conflict with Russia. The stance has increasingly put Kiev at odds with Budapest.“Ukrainians are increasingly attacking Hungary because we stopped Ukraine’s EU accession in Brussels,” Orban wrote in a Facebook post…

British singer and actress Lily Allen laughed about being unable to remember how many abortions she has had. “I can’t remember exactly how many,” the 40-year-old “Lost My Mind” singer said, adding, “I want to say five.” “Abortions, I’ve had a few, but then again, I can’t remember exactly how many,” Allen sang to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s 1969 hit, “My Way,” during her Monday appearance on BBC’s Miss Me? podcast. Watch Below: “Really?” 41-year-old Miss Me? podcast host Miquita Oliver asked, to which Allen replied in a more serious tone forgoing the singing, “I can’t remember, yeah. I think maybe, like, I want to say…

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons is praising final passage of President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, mainly for its “unprecedented funding” toward federal immigration enforcement.

Planned Parenthood has vowed to take the Trump administration to court over a provision in the newly-passed megabill that would “defund” the nonprofit for up to one year. Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of the organization, said on Thursday the reconciliation bill is an “unlawful” and “targeted attack” on the organization and its patients. “Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care. That’s what we’ve been fighting for the last century — and we’ll never stop,” McGill Johnson said in a statement. “We’ll be suing the Trump administration to stop this unlawful attack. See you in court.” The bill,…
