"New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is blaming a software glitch in the state's motor vehicle system for accidentally registering 6,660 noncitizens to vote.

She further acknowledged Tuesday as many as 400 of those foreigners voted in recent election despite a legal ban on foreigners voting in federal elections.

The admission came less than a week after President Donald Trump gave a primetime address presenting evidence of election vulnerabilities, including hundreds of thousands of noncitizens who made it on voter rolls, spy agency concerns about voting machine security and a Chinese effort to obtain American voter data.

Sherrill was among those Democrats to deride the speech. But on Tuesday she had to reverse course and acknowledge the problem with noncitizens registering and voting in her state."

"Political parties tend to harshly reject the idea that they are a threat to the constitutional order, but the Democratic Socialists of America are making it part of their brand.

"The DSA has released a new program that, besides contemplating the advent of a classless society, calls for abolishing the US Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court.

"This is literally a revolutionary program to topple the American system as we have known it since 1789.

"It's the kind of thing you might expect after angry rebels mount the barricades in Washington, DC, and overthrow the government.

"It makes proposals to abolish the filibuster seem trifling in comparison, and even court-packing look relatively moderate."

"Olive Garden apparently has a stricter identification policy for unlimited pasta than many Democrat-led states have for voting.

"Olive Garden posted a series of slides on X explaining to customers how to purchase a Pasta Pass. The Pasta Pass gives customers unlimited access to their Never-Ending pasta bowls. One user asked whether the pass can be used to order pasta for the whole family or whether it is only for the person whose name appeared on the card.

"Olive Garden confirmed that the 'Never-Ending Pasta Pass is only for use by the Passholder whose name is printed on the Pass.' In order to make sure no funny business happens, 'passholders must present a valid photo I.D. along with the Pass at the time of ordering.'

"Apparently unlimited fettuccine Alfredo is so important that you need to show a photo ID to get some. But if you forget your ID to confirm your Pasta Pass, have no fear. You can still find something to do while out and about: vote! (If you happen to live in one of the 14 states that do not require photo ID to cast a vote.)"

"The first debate among Maine Democrats vying to replace Graham Platner on the ballot took place last night, hosted by News Center Maine, an NBC News affiliate. It was chaotic. It can be summed up in seven words: congratulations on your reelection, Sen. Susan Collins. If you're in that camp, you're smiling. If you're the National Republican Senate Committee, you had a good night. What the hell did we watch last night?"

"Generation Z is experiencing higher levels of inflation than other generations, new data from the consumer data and tech company Numerator has revealed.

"The company released its June 2026 Consumer Goods Price Index on Monday which found that Gen Z consumers - those born between 1997 and 2012 - continue to experience higher levels of inflation for everyday household goods, as prices for the goods they purchase have increased by 39.4 percent since January 2018, while other generations face the national average increase of 33.8 percent.

"Discussing the data with Newsweek, Numerator senior economist Paul Stanley said that while many factors contribute to why Gen Z consumers, as well as low-income consumers, face higher levels of inflation, one key reason is because 'quick-service restaurant inflation has been a notable driver.'"

"A growing coalition of law firms representing a New York Times Company shareholder is demanding the publisher turn over its 'books and records' for an investigation 'into whether the company's board has abdicated its basic oversight duties' following a string of controversial Times reports that sought to discredit Israel or support anti-Israel Democratic politicians such as Graham Platner, according to a demand letter obtained exclusively by the Washington Free Beacon.

"If the Times does not produce the materials by July 21, a lawsuit will be filed in the New York County Supreme Court, according to a letter sent Tuesday by a coalition of lawyers representing the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), a nonpartisan think-tank and beneficial Times shareholder. It is the second time that lawyers from the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC) -- and now several other firms who recently joined the effort -- have demanded access to the news organization's internal data and communications, accusing it of rampant anti-Israel bias and advocacy on behalf of prominent anti-Israel Democratic politicians like Platner -- who withdrew in disgrace last week from Maine's Senate race -- as well as New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani.

"The stockholders, the letter says, aim 'to investigate whether the [Times] Board is engaging in any form of oversight to ensure that the New York Times remains a news reporting agency worth anything to its stockholders, rather than becoming viewed by the public as a simple propaganda arm that selects its articles and reporting in a way that ignores truth in favor of pushing false narratives.'"

"A small town Kansas mayor born in Mexico. A Filipino senior citizen living in Hawaii. Two Pakistani men residing in New Jersey. An Aussie in Louisiana. And a Chinese student studying at the University of Michigan. They all have one thing in common.

"Each has been charged in the last year with illegally voting in U.S. federal elections as foreigners, part of a sudden wave of prosecutions led by the Trump Justice Department for a crime that used to be among the rarest in the federal court system.

"The Trump Justice Department has secured about two dozen non-citizens voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months alone, with about another 90 more cases under investigation, officials told Just the News. And all 50 states were sent notices this month that election officials can and will be prosecuted too if they allow non-citizens to vote."

"Democrats have many problems, not the least of which is an inability to understand, and for some the refusal to accept, basic economics. If they did, there wouldn't be proposals to raise the federal minimum wage to a preposterous $25 an hour.

"House Resolution 8555 would 'place the federal minimum wage on a durable path toward a living wage,' requiring 'large, highly profitable corporations to lead the transition.' Under its yoke, large employers would have to raise their lowest wage from the current $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, 2027, a more-than-double spike that would shock the market.

"Large companies, defined as those with annual gross revenues in excess of $1 billion (there are more than 6,000 of them) or with 500 or more employees nationwide, will have to ramp up their minimum wage every Jan. 1 thereafter until the minimum hits $25 an hour on Jan. 1, 2031. Smaller companies will have to boost their hourly minimum to $14 next New Year's Day and will have to meet the $25-an-hour standard by 2038."

"Most Americans are well aware that living in debt -- consuming beyond what one can afford -- without a sustainable budget plan is haphazard; those who do so are often deemed to lack foresight. Collectively, Americans carry roughly $18.8 trillion in household debt. America's national debt, meanwhile, is more than double that amount.

"The amount owed by the U.S. government exceeds $290,000 per household. There was a brief period between 1998 and 2001 that the federal budget was technically balanced. Now, running trillion-dollar deficits, the federal government abandoned the goal of returning to a balanced federal budget. In fact, to achieve a balanced budget a decade from now, programs would have to be cut by 36% -- an inconceivable endeavor. The two major entitlement programs that are already largely responsible for budget deficits -- Social Security and Medicare -- already account for 37% of all federal spending, costing the equivalent of more than $12,300 and $7,800 per household, respectively. However, a more difficult dilemma is looming over Washington.

"The 2026 Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports, released in June, reiterated what fiscal policy experts outside government have long warned about: The retirement trust fund for Social Security is running out of funds. While Social Security's insolvency date is late 2032, Medicare's Hospital Insurance trust fund will follow in 2033. After those dates, incoming revenue would cover only 78% and 89% of scheduled benefits, respectively."

"The Justice Department's top election enforcement official has sent a pointed warning to all 50 states that election administrators can be criminally prosecuted if they knowingly allow noncitizens to vote in the upcoming 2026 election.

"Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon sent the letters Tuesday after the U.S. government conducted reviews that found tens of thousands of noncitizens have made it onto state voter rolls, and DOJ prosecuted a handful of foreigners who voted in federal elections illegally, including an Australian citizen earlier this week."
