Trump Revokes Security Clearances of Biden Officials and Critics

President Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances of multiple former Biden administration officials, including those who prosecuted him and the 51 intelligence officials who questioned the Hunter Biden laptop story. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced the move, stating it was done under Trump's directive. The decision bars these individuals from accessing classified government information, including the President's Daily Brief. Critics argue the move is politically motivated, while supporters claim it is necessary for national security. Some affected officials expressed shock upon learning about the revocation via social media.

Porn stars launch campaign against Project 2025 targeting swing states

Concerned with provisions of Project 2025 that could criminalize pornography, a group of porn stars is jumping into the 2024 election, launching “Hands Off My Porn” and purchasing $100,000 in ads in swing states to spread their message. “We must fight back against this ultra-conservative agenda that is rooted in religious conservatism, fearmongering, and the suppression of women’s rights,” Casey Calvert, one of the porn stars involved with the effort, wrote alongside the announcement of the ads. Twenty porn stars came together to found Hands Off My Porn, and they are placing the ads on sites that show explicit content in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Michigan, warning users about Project 2025’s drive to criminalize porn.The ads will direct people to the Hands Off My Porn website, where they can watch testimonials about Project 2025’s dangers. “This ‘180-day playbook’ for the next Trump Administration puts the anti-porn agenda front and center – on page 5 of this nearly 1000-page document that’s endorsed by The Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Koch Brothers, and hundreds of conservative organizations,” the group writes online.Hands Off My Porn is referencing the foreword written by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, who calls for pornography to be “outlawed.” “It has no claim to First Amendment protection,” he writes. “Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned…telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
