Todd Blanche clears the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote after Republican holdouts cut a deal — but some remain concerned that President Donald Trump won't keep his promises. In the full Senate floor vote, the Attorney General nominee can only afford to lose two votes.

Trump accused China of an "unprecedented election security nightmare" involving 220 million voter records — then imposed zero public consequences on Beijing. Two weeks later, Xi Jinping's September state visit is still on. Trump told reporters the alleged activity "took place a long time ago" and said espionage between the two nations isn't "a one-way street." The fallout has been directed entirely inward: investigations into U.S. intelligence officials who handled the information, not against China. The declassified documents show Chinese entities amassed American voter data from 18 states but do not show altered ballots, penetrated vote-counting systems, or changed voter rolls. One analyst wrote China "likely gained little advantage" from records that were largely publicly available.

EXPOSED: Fauci's private diary reveals he estimated COVID-19's case fatality rate at 0.2-0.3% in February 2020. Weeks later, he told Congress under oath that the virus had a higher mortality rate.

China has spent roughly $100 million on influence operations inside the United States, DOJ records show — spanning state-run propaganda networks, corporate lobbying and efforts to shape American policy at every level. The spending includes $66.8 million funneled to CGTN America, Beijing's flagship English-language media operation, between February and November 2025 alone. Dozens of American lobbyists have signed new contracts with Chinese-owned companies, including firms the Pentagon has designated as Chinese military companies. Tencent alone has spent over $10 million on lobbying since 2025. And that's just what's on the books. Campus groups linked to the Chinese government and organizations under China's United Front Work Department — a global network of CCP loyalists — don't file disclosures at all.

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's deleted Reddit account reveals graphic posts about masturbating in portable toilets and praising explicit military restroom graffiti — the latest in a growing trail of vulgar comments that could define his race against Susan Collins. Platner has dismissed past controversies as 'joking' and 's***posting,' but GOP strategists say the pattern raises fundamental questions about his judgment and fitness for office. He became Democrats' presumptive nominee after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out last month.
