Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chairman Sean Cooksey has publicly criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ), alleging that it violated federal policies by targeting Elon Musk’s pro-Trump political action committee (PAC) just weeks before the 2024 presidential election.

NEW: I'm calling for an investigation into the Biden DOJ's illegal "warning letter" to intimidate @elonmusk and @America PAC, violating DOJ policy.

Cooksey accused the DOJ of attempting to “intimidate and chill private citizens and organizations from campaigning on behalf of President Trump” and urged DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to launch an investigation into the matter.

In a letter sent Wednesday to Horowitz and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility, Cooksey expressed concerns over the DOJ’s actions, specifically a letter the department had issued to Musk’s political committee, America PAC.

The DOJ letter, first reported by The New York Times, warned that a $1 million giveaway Musk’s PAC offered to individuals signing a petition supporting constitutional freedom could potentially violate federal election laws.

Cooksey’s letter to Horowitz marks the FEC’s official response, and he argued that the DOJ’s actions were intended to sway the election outcome by targeting perceived political opponents.

Cooksey called on the DOJ to “hold accountable any individuals responsible for any violations of federal law or department policies.”

The FEC chairman also likened the DOJ’s warning letter to past politically charged actions, comparing it specifically to the Watergate scandal of 1972. “The underlying motivation behind this stunt is obvious,” Cooksey said. “Employees of President Biden’s Department of Justice wanted to stop an independent political committee from campaigning for President Trump in crucial swing states just prior to election day.”

The DOJ’s letter to Musk’s America PAC raised questions about whether the $1 million incentive could be seen as improperly influencing voter actions, despite Musk’s defense that participants were not required to register as Republicans or vote in the November 5 election.

Nevertheless, the DOJ’s letter quickly gained media attention, with some Democratic figures criticizing Musk’s actions as undermining democratic processes.

Cooksey also alleged that the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section had violated the department’s own policies by leaking the letter to The New York Times.

According to Cooksey, this move contravened established DOJ media guidelines, which discourage public disclosures regarding uncharged individuals or prejudicial information in ongoing matters. “Writing such a letter and then leaking it also violates the department’s long-standing policy against the identification of uncharged parties and the disclosure of prejudicial information,” Cooksey stated.

Cooksey’s comments reflect an ongoing tension between Musk and certain political and governmental figures. Musk, a longtime supporter of Democratic candidates, notably endorsed Trump after an assassination attempt on the president-elect in July.

Following the endorsement, Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, part of Trump’s incoming administration.

President-elect Trump praised Musk and Ramaswamy, stating, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.”

The FEC’s criticism of the DOJ is expected to draw attention to questions about the department’s role in political processes and its handling of election-related activities.

With investigations potentially on the horizon, the episode underscores ongoing scrutiny over governmental transparency and accountability as the Trump administration prepares for its next term.

Kamala Harris, America’s political shape-shifter, has yet again flipped her stance on immigration in a bid to drum up last-minute support.

Known for her shifting positions on key issues, Harris recently unveiled her latest policy reversal during a speech in Washington, where she promised to deport illegal immigrants—a position far removed from her previous pro-open-borders stance, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Standing on the Ellipse, Harris aimed her critique squarely at Donald Trump, announcing her commitment to deporting individuals who cross the border illegally and bolstering border security—a surprising claim considering her well-documented support for sanctuary policies.

As she took the stage, Harris declared, “Politicians have got to stop treating immigration as an issue to scare up votes in an election and instead treat it as the serious challenge that it is.”

With sweeping promises, she pledged to “remove those who arrive here unlawfully” and support Border Patrol efforts—conveniently leaving out her past advocacy for policies that would do precisely the opposite.

Consider Harris’s prior statements: She once claimed she didn’t support decriminalizing illegal border crossings. Yet, footage shows Harris publicly raising her hand in favor, even declaring, “We’re not going to treat people who are undocumented [who] cross the borders as criminals.”

Harris has previously dismissed illegal immigration as a “non-emergency” and has outright stated, “An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.”

The list of contradictions doesn’t end there. Harris backed sanctuary laws, mass amnesty proposals, and taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants—policies that are in stark contrast to her current, tough-on-border-crime rhetoric.

Univision CEO Daniel Alegre is reshaping Hispanic media, highlighting that the days when Hispanic voters reliably supported Democrats are fading fast.

Speaking with Just the News, Alegre observed that Hispanics increasingly vote based on policies rather than political party lines—a seismic shift for both parties to reckon with.  “The world of 15 years ago, where Hispanics were essentially considered a vote for the Democratic Party, that’s no longer the case,” Alegre said, pointing to growing GOP support among Hispanic voters, especially men.

Alegre’s insights arrive amid Univision’s major transition, as the network pivots to a digital landscape and fosters direct conversations with Hispanic voters on topics that matter most.

This includes a recent Hispanic voter poll revealing strong alignment with GOP stances on top concerns: 26% of Hispanic respondents listed the economy as a primary issue, while 13% chose immigration and border security—both notably more significant than Vice President Kamala Harris’s preferred topics, climate change and abortion.

Looking at battleground states, Alegre noted that Hispanic voters are emerging as decisive in close elections. With this in mind, Univision commissioned a survey that echoed similar findings across conservative polls, revealing a dramatic 17-point surge in GOP support among Hispanic voters since the last election.

Alegre emphasized that this shift underscores a desire for consistent policy dialogue, with voters drawn to a party willing to address their economic and safety concerns.

In Univision’s latest moves, the network has opened more dialogue channels with both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s campaigns, a stark change from years past. Alegre hinted that only when politicians commit to ongoing engagement—not just at election time—will they resonate with the Hispanic community’s priorities.

Additionally, he noted that nearly 25% of Hispanic voters remain undecided, signaling a prime opportunity for politicians to secure votes if they consistently communicate on platforms and in languages that Hispanics trust.

Amid this political recalibration, Univision is also transforming internally. Longtime anchor Jorge Ramos’s retirement signals a new era, with Alegre overseeing Univision’s expansion into streaming and digital media.

He envisions a network that offers Hispanic audiences more interactivity and relevance, integrating personalized content and social engagement to meet the community’s dynamic needs.

A veteran from Google and Activision, Alegre’s approach combines traditional Hispanic values with tech-driven adaptability.

As Univision embraces this evolution, Alegre’s vision remains clear: keep Hispanic communities informed, connected, and empowered to make choices that best serve their families, not party allegiance.

With Hispanic voters poised to influence the election in key swing states, Univision’s evolving role in informing this pivotal group reflects the significance of their voices in shaping America’s future.

An Aurora City Council member has revealed documents indicating that local police were aware of the presence and activities of the “Tren De Aragua” gang in the city over a year ago.

Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky shared the documents, which include internal emails from the Aurora Police Department (APD), on her personal X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday and Thursday.

The documents discuss the extensive gang activity in the area, confirming that law enforcement had knowledge of the gang’s operations for some time.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Jurinsky expressed her frustration with the city and state officials for allegedly downplaying the seriousness of the issue.

“I am done. I am tired of the city lying. I am done with the governor who called the cops on me. I am done with the local media.

This is an issue of human suffering. Gang members are extorting and torturing other migrants who came here for a better life and to get away from gangs like this,” Jurinsky told Fox News.

She went on to say that the Tren De Aragua (TdA) gang is still in control of certain apartment buildings in Aurora, despite authorities being aware of their presence.

Jurinsky referred to a document from October 2022 from APD’s Gang Intervention Unit, which noted that at least 15-20 members of TdA were operating in Denver and Aurora at the time.

The document also indicated that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had intelligence suggesting the gang planned to establish a headquarters in Aurora.

It listed two apartment buildings as central to the gang’s activities: The Edge at Lowry and Fitzsimons Place Apartments.

Jurinsky’s public release of the documents comes shortly after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recommended placing over 100 migrants believed to be affiliated with the gang on an FBI watchlist.

Republicans are celebrating promising turnout figures, suggesting that former President Donald Trump is shifting the electoral map beyond the usual swing states.

Traditionally, these states include Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. However, a new contender has emerged: Nevada, a state that hasn’t voted Republican in two decades.

🚨 BREAKING: Nevada experiences a dramatic +25 point swing towards Republicans on the first day of Early Voting! 🇺🇸 #ElectionUpdate

In Clark County, NV, a whopping 22,000 in-person voters cast their ballots on day one of early voting.

Newly released early voting data shows that Republicans hold a 2.5% advantage in turnout—a notable achievement given the party’s historical hesitance towards voting methods perceived as prone to fraud.

Over 333,000 ballots have been cast, representing 16.6% of the state’s electorate. While Republicans are making headway, the urban Las Vegas area shows a narrower margin, with Democrats maintaining a slight 1-point lead in exit polls.

Republican Florida Representative Byron Donalds and CNN host Jim Acosta clashed during an interview on Tuesday over former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks about the “enemy from within.”

Trump’s comments, made during an October 14 interview on Fox News, suggested the possible use of the National Guard or military to address any potential chaos on Election Day.

Acosta questioned Donalds about Trump’s reference to prominent Democrats, including California Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, as being “enemies from within.”

Donalds responded by defending Trump’s remarks in the context of unrest and political misconduct. “I know that Adam Schiff, when he was chairman of the Intelligence Committee, was leaking information to the press that was classified,” Donalds said.

He pointed out that this was one of the reasons former Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed Schiff from the Intelligence Committee.

Donalds labeled Schiff’s actions as politically motivated and dangerous, particularly in the context of his role in handling sensitive information.

Regarding Trump’s remarks, Donalds emphasized that Trump was addressing concerns over potential unrest, similar to what occurred during the 2020 protests and riots in various cities across the country. “If you just go back to the summer of 2020, the Summer of Love like the left likes to talk about, you had riots in every major city in the country. That is very dangerous, and that is very concerning,” Donalds added.

Acosta pressed Donalds on whether it was appropriate for Trump to label Pelosi and Schiff as “enemies from within” and questioned if Donalds would support their arrest. Donalds firmly denied any support for arresting political opponents, stating, “Absolutely not.”

He clarified that Trump was not calling for Pelosi or Schiff to be arrested, but was expressing concern about how they might respond if Trump were to win re-election.

The discussion shifted to Schiff’s role in promoting claims of Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election, which Donalds argued was based on false intelligence. “Adam Schiff laundered phony intelligence into the political system,” Donalds stated, reiterating his point that Schiff had engaged in dangerous political behavior.

Steelworkers from the Pittsburgh area attending a rally for former President Donald Trump shared their views on how his steel tariffs have positively impacted their jobs.

The tariffs, enacted during Trump’s presidency in 2018, have been credited by workers for helping to preserve their livelihoods in a challenging industry.

Brian Pavlack, a steelworker who spoke at the event in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, expressed gratitude for the opportunity for his fellow union members to meet Trump. “It’s all about my members to me, you know, meet Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump kind of saved all of our jobs with those tariffs,” Pavlack told the hosts of “Fox and Friends.”

In recent months, Trump has intensified his efforts to secure the support of union workers as he campaigns for the White House in 2024.

Notably, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), which backed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, announced on October 3 that it would refrain from endorsing any presidential candidate for the upcoming election.

This followed the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’ decision not to endorse either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris.

During the segment, co-host Lawrence Jones asked Glenn Thomas, another steelworker, why many in the industry, traditionally aligned with Democrats, were supporting Trump this time. “Historically, we’ve all been Democrats,” Thomas replied.

He highlighted a trade case led by former International President Tom Conway against China for illegal dumping, which set the stage for Trump’s tariffs. “When President Trump stepped in and imposed those tariffs on the Chinese, I firmly believe he saved the steel industry, not only in our country but in Mon Valley, where many of us have lived for close to 30 years,” Thomas added.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has allocated up to $126,000 in taxpayer funds to JBS, a major meat processing company, following an investigation that revealed the use of child labor at some of its facilities.

Walz just got busted for shoveling tax payer dollars to a corporation that was USING MIGRANT CHILDREN to clean slaughterhouses! Literal slavery. Tune in tonight to @IngrahamAngle to hear more. pic.twitter.com/21fGjamRAI

This decision has raised significant concerns among critics regarding the appropriateness of funding a company implicated in such serious violations.

In February 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor conducted an investigation and found that at least 31 children were employed in hazardous conditions, specifically tasked with cleaning dangerous powered equipment during overnight shifts at JBS USA plants.

Notably, the children were employed by a third-party cleaning service, not directly by JBS.

Despite this distinction, the findings have cast a shadow over the company’s labor practices.

In June, Minnesota’s Office of Higher Education announced a grant aimed at funding job training for 28 staff members at the JBS plant located in Worthington, Minnesota.

This plant was specifically highlighted in the investigation, as at least 22 children were found to have been illegally employed there for cleaning tasks.

Governor Walz defended the funding, stating, “These career growth and training opportunities allow Minnesotans to get ahead in their careers while helping businesses recruit and retain talent.

It’s a win-win.” His comments were made in the context of promoting workforce development initiatives aimed at bolstering local employment.

However, this move has attracted criticism, particularly from Republican lawmakers and advocacy groups. Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna took to social media to express her disapproval, stating, “Walz just got busted for shoveling taxpayer dollars to a corporation that was USING MIGRANT CHILDREN to clean slaughterhouses. Literal slavery.”

The controversy surrounding JBS does not end with the child labor allegations.

The company has faced multiple scandals in recent years.

It was named in a lawsuit filed by McDonald’s, along with several other beef producers, alleging that they conspired to limit beef supply and inflate prices.

Additionally, JBS’s Brazil-based parent company, J&F Investments SA, pled guilty to foreign bribery charges in October 2020, agreeing to pay a fine exceeding $250 million.

Adding to the scrutiny, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against JBS in February, alleging that the company misled consumers regarding its environmental impact.

These legal challenges have further complicated the public image of JBS and raised questions about its business practices.

The decision by Governor Walz to fund JBS with taxpayer money comes at a time when the scrutiny of corporate practices is intensifying, particularly regarding labor standards and ethical business operations.

A heated discussion unfolded during a CNN segment where Ryan Girdusky, founder of the 1776 Project PAC, argued that the “Ferguson effect” and reduced police presence in communities are leading to increases in violent crime.

The term “Ferguson effect” was first coined by St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson in 2014 after the police-involved shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

The hypothesis suggests that a decline in police activity results in a surge in violent crime.

Girdusky linked this phenomenon to the aftermath of the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests and riots that occurred in 2020, stating that these events contributed to a significant rise in black male deaths.

“There are the post-George Floyd riots [that] resulted in 15,000 black male deaths in this country,” Girdusky asserted during the segment, prompting a response from CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers, who questioned the validity of his claims. “How?” Sellers asked.

I mentioned the Ferguson and Floyd Effect on CNN… surprisingly, none of the Democrats on the panel had ever heard of it. pic.twitter.com/DckpbqzElS

— Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) October 16, 2024

Girdusky elaborated, explaining that the perceived risks of policing during the 2020 riots led officers to withdraw from active duty. “The surge of violent crime, it was like Ferguson effect, the Ferguson effect and the Floyd effect … Because what happens is after the Ferguson riot and after the Floyd riot, policemen in fear of their jobs many times and political coverage, pull back from their jobs resulting in crime size,” he said.

CNN host Abby Phillips interrupted Girdusky, asserting, “Ryan, hold on, hold on. Ryan, we got to stop you there because you’re literally making a connection out of your own conjecture. You cannot just do that.”

After Phillips attempted to restore order among the panel, Sellers expressed that the rise in riots and violent crimes could not solely be attributed to the deaths of black men. “That literally, and my point to you is, that makes no sense,” Sellers stated. He emphasized his

support for law enforcement but called for reforms, saying, “I want police actually to be paid more, I just want better police, more qualified police.”

Phillips then reminded the panel that Donald Trump was president during Floyd’s death and the BLM riots, leading to a debate about accountability. “You’re trying to blame crime on Joe Biden, but you’re saying that people who died when Donald Trump was president, that’s not his fault?” she asked.

Girdusky responded by asserting that the president does not control local police departments, clarifying, “I didn’t blame Joe Biden.”

Florida law enforcement officials recently arrested 157 individuals during a human trafficking operation known as “Operation Autumn Sweep.”

🔥🚨BREAKING: Polk County, Florida. Sheriff announced 157 arrests in human trafficking operation, including Disney World employee and over 2 dozen illegal aliens

The sting, which targeted illegal activities related to prostitution, included 25 illegal immigrants, some of whom allegedly received federal government benefits after entering the country.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd announced the results of the operation alongside representatives from various law enforcement agencies, including those from Marion County, Lake County, Auburndale, Clermont, Davenport, Winter Haven, Lakeland, and Tampa.

“Operation Autumn Sweep” focused on individuals involved in soliciting prostitution, offering to commit prostitution, and aiding and abetting prostitutes. Additionally, three suspects were arrested for traveling to sexually batter children.

The operation commenced on October 2, leading to the identification of four potential human trafficking victims out of the 47 prostitutes who appeared at undercover locations.

Judd’s office reported that 96 of the arrested suspects were charged with soliciting prostitution, with a total of 35 felony charges and 201 misdemeanors issued across the group.

“The approach of Hurricane Milton caused us to end our investigation earlier than planned, but it’s still amazing that in such a short amount of time we were able to put 157 people in jail, and three child predators,” Judd said.

Among the 157 individuals arrested, Sheriff Judd revealed that 25 were in the U.S. illegally, hailing from countries such as Cuba, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Venezuela. “Sixteen percent of these total arrests were people who should not even have been in this country,” he stated. “But they were here, and they were here because we have a federal government that enabled these criminals to come into the country, and they treated them very well after the criminals came here illegally.”

Judd shared the story of a female suspect who entered the U.S. with her child. She reported that she flew into Mexico from Venezuela and then crossed the border into El Paso, Texas.

Upon her arrival, she was greeted by Border Patrol agents. “There is no border security at the southern border. Zero. It doesn’t exist,” Judd commented.
