Luna says lawmakers have evidence of ‘interdimensional beings'
'I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have,' Luna said during the podcast.
'And that's not something that I came up with on my own. That's based on stuff that we've seen. That's based on information that we've been told,' she added.
In February, Luna and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) sent letters to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe requesting a briefing on all unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAP-related records in their possession, with the ultimate goal of 'deliver[ing] transparency to the American people.'
She says through investigations, she's discovered otherworldly information.
'Based on testimony that would be based on witnesses that have come forward. But what I can tell you is just we're told that they were that, they've seen things,' Luna told Rogan.
'And what I can tell you without getting into classified conversations is that there have been incidences that I believe were very credible people have reported that there have been movement outside of time and space,' she continued.
Luna said she's never seen a portal or a spaceship but was searching for documentation that could lead to more evidence of life beyond humans.

Jillian Michaels Has Meltdown During CNN Slavery Talk
Biggest Loser coach and Donald Trump supporter Jillian Michaels had a stunning meltdown Wednesday night while defending white people during a fiery debate about the president's efforts to rewrite US history. Michaels appeared on a CNN NewsNight panel with conservative commentator Scott Jennings, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky, and legal analyst Elie Honig to discuss Trump's pick for Kennedy Center honoree. The conversation took a sharp turn when Roginsky, discussing changes Trump has spearheaded at the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian Institution, accused the president of 'trying to change culture' and revise history so it does not offend his MAGA base. 'Can you address some of those things in there? Because have you looked at some of the things in there?' Michaels asked, referring to historical displays at the Smithsonian Institution. 'Yeah. Yes, slavery was a bad thing we should talk about,' Roginsky said before Michaels interrupted. 'He's not whitewashing slavery,' the fitness guru argued. 'And you cannot tie imperialism and racism and slavery to just one race, which is pretty much what every single exhibit does.' Michaels: You cannot tie imperialism and racism and slavery to just one race, which is pretty much what every single exhibit does… Only less than 2% of white Americans own slaves. You realize that slavery is thousands of years old? Phillip: I'm very surprised you are trying to… — Acyn (@Acyn) August 14, 2025 @Acyn/ CNN / Via The CNN panel erupted in cross-talk, and Michaels turned to Torres and asked, 'Do you realize that only less than 2% of white Americans owned slaves?' citing a contested figure. 'But it was a system of white supremacy,' Torres responded. As people continued to talk over each other, Michaels added that slavery is thousands of years old, but was interrupted by a stunned Phillip, who said she was 'surprised' that her guest was 'trying to litigate who was the beneficiary of slavery.' 'In the context of American history, what are you saying is incorrect by saying it was white people oppressing Black people?' Phillip asked. 'Every single thing is like, oh, no, no, no, this is all because 'white people bad,' and that's just not the truth,' Michaels said. Michaels then characterized a Smithsonian exhibit as claiming that people 'migrated from Cuba because 'white people bad,'' before accusing Roginsky of not knowing what's in the museum. But the exhibit Michaels called out didn't actually appear to make that argument. Later that night, she posted a photo of an exhibit that names US foreign policy as a contributor to political instability in Cuba and the Dominican Republic. The pictured exhibit did not expressly mention white people at all, except to note that some of the first Cubans to immigrate to the US were 'wealthy White Cubans.' Ok... so for anyone watching me on @CNN tonight battling it out on Abby Phillip's show... this is one of the Smithsonian exhibits I was referencing. Trump is not trying to "erase slavery" by suggesting some of the instillations there are inaccurate and bias. Notice how it omits… — Jillian Michaels (@JillianMichaels) August 14, 2025 @jillianmichaels / Via During her appearance on CNN, the fitness influencer also griped about other elements of the Smithsonian.'Do you know that when you walk in the front door, the first thing you see is the gay flag?' asked Michaels, who is married to a woman. She then started to criticize an exhibit that touches on gender testing in sports before Phillip interjected, 'We don't have time to litigate all of this.' CNN / Via 'Of course we don't, because then you're going to lose the argument, and if everything is racialized, just like you're trying to do to me now,' Michaels told Phillip. 'Excuse me? Jillian, you brought up race,' Phillip said. 'This was a conversation about the arts, and you brought up race.' — Acyn (@Acyn) August 14, 2025 @Acyn/ CNN / Via

Don't knock RFK Jr.'s presidential bid just yet
TAN, RESTED AND READY — Not even a year has passed since Donald Trump's election, but the invisible primary for 2028 is already underway. Potential candidates in both parties are making appearances in the early presidential primary states, recalibrating their positions in advance of running and building their fundraising operations. None of it seems to have generated as much chatter in Washington as the groundwork being laid by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who appears to be eyeing another presidential bid. At first, the prospect of a Kennedy campaign seems outlandish. His considerable personal baggage, polarizing views and habit of trafficking in conspiracy theories might seem to be disqualifying. He's never won election to any office. If he ran as a Republican, his party credentials would be suspect — and he'd likely be running in a primary field loaded with experienced heavyweights. Yet that's the precise profile Donald Trump carried into the 2016 primary when he cut through a crowded and accomplished Republican presidential field like a buzzsaw. And RFK Jr. would be a far more formidable candidate in 2028 than in 2024, when his campaign fell apart. As HHS secretary, he has built a portfolio marked by bashing regulatory agencies, the media, mainstream medicine, and taking on foes like Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Food, and the baby formula industry. By honing an anti-establishment message, RFK Jr. is gaining traction in an increasingly populist Republican Party. Parts of his MAHA agenda are already resonating in state capitals — particularly, but not exclusively, in red states. It's why even if he doesn't really rate in the constellation of MAGA stars — Kennedy exists in his own adjacent universe, which he oversees from his perch as secretary of Health and Human Services — he has just enough celebrity, name recognition and appeal to elements of Trump's winning 2024 coalition that he can't be easily dismissed. Those same coalition politics that boosted Trump's White House comeback bid also may have blurred traditional primary lanes ahead of 2028. RFK Jr.'s road trips to red states draw robust crowds. He already polls better than many of his prospective Republican rivals, especially among the youth vote. While Vice President JD Vance leads most polls by a wide margin, RFK ranked fourth after Marco Rubio and Ron DeSantis in a June Emerson College poll. But in the spring 2025 Yale Youth Poll — which surveys both young American voters and the general population — Kennedy trailed only Vance among Republican voters. He also had the highest net favorability ratings after Vance among voters aged 18-29 and the general population. A June Economist/YouGov poll found RFK with a 70 percent job approval rating among Republicans. Polling this far out doesn't have much predictive value. But what's clear is that HHS is providing a useful platform for RFK Jr. that could not only fuel a campaign launch, but also carve out discrete parts of the core MAGA constituency for him. He has an army of online healthy-living influencers proselytizing for him, can tap into the energy of the anti-vax movement and wields a ready-made slogan — Make America Healthy Again — that's a friendly derivative of MAGA. RFK 2028 sounds far-fetched, no doubt. Kennedy did, after all, begin his political adventure running for president as a Democrat, then as an independent, before dropping out and endorsing Trump. But MAGA happily embraces converts — another recent Democratic contender for president, Tulsi Gabbard, is now a Trump stalwart ensconced in a cabinet-level position as director of national intelligence. RFK Jr.'s fate in a prospective Republican primary bid would be heavily reliant on remaining in Trump's good graces. And he'd likely be up against others with greater claims on the MAGA imprimatur — most notably Vance. But in an era of tremendous political disruption, where the major parties are inverting, traditional coalitions are fractured and longstanding campaign assumptions and traditions are being turned upside down, almost nothing can be ruled out anymore. Before writing off Kennedy, ask yourself a question: Is there anyone who thinks Trump wouldn't throw his vice president under the bus if it suited his political needs or whims at the time? Welcome to POLITICO Nightly. Reach out with news, tips and ideas at nightly@ Or contact tonight's author at cmahtesian@ or on X (formerly known as Twitter) at @PoliticoCharlie. What'd I Miss? — AI launches across the government: Federal employees will soon be able to try out popular artificial intelligence tools — part of a controversial Trump administration effort to automate more of the government. The U.S. General Services Administration said this morning it will launch USAi, a secure platform designed to let employees experiment with popular AI models made by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta. The website is framed as a way to advance the Trump administration's broader AI Action Plan and to deliver 'a competitive advantage to the American people,' GSA Deputy Administrator Stephen Ehikian said in a statement. — DC police to increase cooperation with immigration enforcement amid Trump crackdown: Officers in Washington's Metropolitan Police Department can now assist federal immigration authorities, Police Chief Pamela A. Smith wrote in an order today, a turning point for the liberal-leaning city government that comes as President Donald Trump continues to flex federal control over the city. The district's officers will be empowered to share information with immigration agencies about people at traffic stops and to transport agency employees and their detainees, per the order. Since 2020, police in the District have been bound by a sanctuary city law that has prohibited broad cooperation with federal immigration authorities. But Mayor Muriel Bowser has proposed a repeal of the law, and White House Border Czar Tom Homan on Wednesday declared DC was 'not going to be a sanctuary city.' — Texas Democrats signal they are poised to end redistricting walkout: Texas Democrats gave their clearest signal yet today that they will soon return to the Lone Star state, after decamping to stop the passage of a redrawn congressional map that adds five new GOP-leaning seats. A statement from the state House Democratic Caucus said that the lawmakers will return on two conditions, both of which are expected this week. First, that the Texas Legislature ends its first special session on Friday, and second that California lawmakers introduce their expected proposal that could offset the GOP gains in Texas. — Trump cold-called Norwegian minister to ask about Nobel Peace Prize: President Donald Trump called Norway's Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg out of the blue last month to discuss trade tariffs — as well as his bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The call was first reported by Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv on Thursday and was later confirmed to POLITICO by a government official in Oslo. This was not the first time Trump had raised the prize in discussions with Stoltenberg, Dagens Næringsliv noted. 'It is true that President Trump called me a few days before his conversation with Prime Minister Støre. Several of the president's staff members also participated in the conversation, including Treasury Secretary Bessent and Trade Representative Greer,' Stoltenberg, the former NATO secretary-general, told POLITICO in a comment. — Florida to use shuttered prison as 2nd immigration detention center after 'Alligator Alcatraz': Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that the state will open a second immigration detention center inside a now-shuttered state prison in North Florida as the fate of its first such facility in the Everglades lies in the hands of a federal judge. Florida plans to spend up to $6 million to stand up Baker Correctional Institution — which is 15 minutes away from an airport in Lake City — to hold more than 1,300 people awaiting deportation. Baker was 'temporarily closed' amid ongoing staffing problems in the state prison system. AROUND THE WORLD AFGHANS STRANDED IN PAKISTAN — Pakistani police have reportedly arrested hundreds of Afghans in Pakistan slated for resettlement to Germany, deporting some to Afghanistan. This follows suspension of a German government program that provided refuge to people deemed particularly vulnerable under Taliban rule. Around 400 Afghans awaiting resettlement to Germany in Pakistan have been arrested in recent weeks, and several dozen of them have been deported to their home country, according to a report by German newspaper Welt — which, like POLITICO, is owned by Axel Springer. The German government effectively suspended a resettlement program for vulnerable Afghans after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz came to power with a vow to drastically curtail the influx of asylum-seekers into the country. That decision stranded some 2,200 Afghans in Pakistan — among them women's rights activists and LGBTQ+ people who face oppression under Taliban rule. FIGHTING BACK — Allies fed up with Donald Trump's latest round of punishing tariffs and spending demands are hitting the president where it hurts — his favorite fighter jet. Spain, in the wake of a row with Washington over NATO's new 5 percent defense spending goal, ditched its multibillion-dollar purchase of the stealthy F-35 fighter jet. Switzerland, reeling from steep U.S. tariffs, is facing increasing pressure across the political spectrum to drop plans for its own F-35 war planes. And India, frustrated at higher U.S. prices on its goods, has reportedly decided to pause efforts to buy American combat vehicles. The moves — all made in the past two weeks — show the potential consequences of Trump's economic actions as they reverberate through allied capitals, forcing governments to reassess their defense ties with the United States. They also reinforce American industry fears that this new form of protectionism will spark retaliation, jeopardize arms sales and chip away at America's dominance as the globe's top defense supplier. Nightly Number RADAR SWEEP THE FEATHER DETECTIVE — Roxie Laybourne, an ornithologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, could identify the species of bird any feather came from. In 1972, she was called to 'the chicken capital of Maine' to testify as an expert witness at a murder trial after the victim was found covered in feathers. The trial was the first of many in which Laybourne lent her expertise to prosecute murderers, poachers, and even a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Chris Sweeney reports on how Laybourne solved the case and created the field of forensic ornithology in an excerpt of his book in Boston Globe Magazine.

Scoop: ActBlue makes it easier for independents to tap donors
ActBlue, the online donation platform that makes it easy for Democratic candidates to hoover up small-dollar donations, is making it easier for independents to do the same. Why it matters: The new rules allow ActBlue to include independent candidates on a "case-by-case" basis. That change can give independents access to ActBlue earlier in the campaign cycle—and even if a declared Democrat is in the race. Republicans both fear and admire ActBlue for the ease with which it allows candidates to translate online enthusiasm into real-world dollars. President Trump also wants to investigate it for "illegal 'straw donor' and foreign contributions in American elections." A spokesperson for ActBlue confirmed the changes, which were made earlier in August. Zoom out: In the 2026 cycle, three independent candidates are seeking to challenge GOP senators in deep red states, but without a "D" next to their name. Two of them are former Democrats. The third, Dan Osborn, who has always been registered "unaffiliated," gave Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) a scare in 2024 by running as an independent. He's plotting a second run, this time against Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.). Earlier this summer Todd Achilles, a former Democratic Idaho state representative, declared himself an unaffiliated voter and announced a challenge to Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho). And in South Dakota, Brian Bengs, who ran for the Senate as a Democrat in 2022, is challenging Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), as an independent. Zoom in: ActBlue will now review independent or third-party candidates for inclusion on a "case-by-case basis, with the following criteria as major factors," according to its website. "Whether a Democratic candidate is in the race." "Whether the candidate has a Democratic Party endorsement." "Whether the candidate can demonstrate they align with Democratic policies and priorities." The old guidelines had stricter requirements. Independents could qualify by having a "proven record of caucusing with Democrats," which would have covered former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.). The old rules did allow for independent candidates to access the platform if no other Democrat were in the race and if they received an "official Democratic Party endorsement." Between the lines: The old rules would have prevented independents like Beng and Achilles from tapping the platform, given that there are already Democrats in both races. What they're saying: Republicans are convinced the change is a ruse to give incognito Democrats access to progressive donors without admitting they're Democrats.
