MyPillow Founder Found Guilty of DefamationA Colorado jury awarded $2.3M to Eric Coomer after Mike Lindell falsely accused him of betraying Dominion post-2020 election.
- A federal jury ruled that Mike Lindell defamed Eric Coomer, former security director of Dominion Voting Systems.
- The court ordered Lindell to pay $2.3 million, significantly less than the $62.7 million sought by Coomer.
- Lindell's statements, including calling Coomer a traitor, were deemed defamatory and unlawful by the jury.
- Despite the verdict, Lindell plans to appeal and continues to oppose the use of electronic voting machines.
This is hurting democracy. This is misinformation. It’s not been vetted and it needs to stop.— Charles Cain, one of Coomer’s attorneys, told jurors in closing arguments.

Debunking Claims Linking Walz to Minnesota ShootingsSuspect Boelter was reappointed to a workforce board in 2019; no proof connects Governor Walz to the shootings or suspect's motives.
- Conservative figures quickly spread unfounded claims framing the suspect as a left-wing extremist targeting Democrats after the shootings.
- Vance Luther Boelter, the identified suspect, had been reappointed by Governor Walz to a workforce board in 2019 without personal ties to the governor.
- Governor Walz condemned the shootings as targeted political violence and stated no evidence links him to the attacks.
- Authorities revealed Boelter had a list of approximately 70 targets, including Democratic lawmakers and health care locations.
The Vice President candidate for the Democrat party is directly connected to a domestic terrorist, that is confirmed, the only question is whether Tim Walz himself ordered the political hit against a rival who voted against Walz’s plan to give free healthcare to illegals.— Mike Cernovich speculated in a post on X about the connections between Gov. Walz and the suspect.

Contentious Defense Hearing Sparks Sharp ExchangesOn June 18, 2025, Defense Secretary Hegseth faced tough questions on military protest actions and controversial firings.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clashed with Democratic senators during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing about military responses to protests.

- The hearing concluded tensely after Senator Jacky Rosen accused Hegseth of lacking control over his department.
He had more guts and balls than you because he said, I'm not going to send in a uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut isn't right ... You're pooh-poohing this.— Senator Elissa Slotkin during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
