Wealthy Chinese billionaires and elites are increasingly using U.S. surrogates to create large families, often with dozens or over 100 children, granting them automatic U.S. citizenship via birthright under the 14th Amendment. This trend, highlighted in recent Los Angeles court cases, involves remote management through IVF clinics, agencies, and nannies, costing up to $200,000 per child. Motivations include bypassing China's surrogacy bans and building dynasties, with some citing Elon Musk as inspiration.

Republicans are worried because the Tennessee special election was way too close for a deep-red district. Trump won it by 22 points in 2024, but the GOP candidate only won by about 9 last night. That huge drop signals weak GOP turnout, stronger-than-expected Democratic enthusiasm, and possible trouble in other “safe” districts. Even a win can be a warning sign heading into the midterms.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is publicly shifting blame for the controversial "double-tap" military strike on a suspected drug-trafficking boat to Navy Admiral Frank Mitchell Bradley. Hegseth called Admiral Bradley "an American hero" and claimed Bradley made the combat decisions regarding the strikes, including the second fatal strike that reportedly killed survivors. The White House and Pentagon statements also emphasize that Admiral Bradley operated within his authority and the law, passing responsibility for the operation to him rather than Hegseth directly ordering the lethal follow-up strike.

Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump his name was in Epstein files, then declared the case closed. This mirrors the DOJ's summer declaration that their "systematic review" of Epstein's case was "closed." However, newly released congressional documents expose a "carefully managed retreat," not a thorough investigation. The DOJ's language appears more like narrative control than legal precision, leaving many questions unanswered about Epstein's network.
