If you've ever wondered what's actually flying in our skies, or what the U.S. government knows about it, you might want to watch Rep. Eric Burlison's office. Burlison (R-MO) spoke to NewsNation's Blake Burman on Tuesday, after confirming that he's hiring UFO whistleblower David Grusch, who made international headlines when he testified about an alleged government UFO retrieval program. Burlison, who is a member of the UAP Caucus, believes Grusch could help Congress find more transparency around UFOs.

House approves pair of resolutions condemning antisemitic attack in Colorado
The House on Monday approved a pair of resolutions condemning the antisemitism attack in Boulder, Co., as the chamber looks to crack down on the spate of incidents targeting Jewish individuals. The first resolution, led by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), was adopted in a 400-0-2 vote, with just Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) voting 'present.' The second measure, spearheaded by Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Colo.), cleared the chamber in a 280-113-6 vote, with 113 Republicans voting 'no.' 'Antisemitic violence will not be ignored, excused, or tolerated in the United States of America,' Van Drew wrote on X after the vote. While both measures were adopted in a bipartisan fashion, the resolution sponsored by Evans drew Democratic ire. Lawmakers were frustrated that Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.), who represents Boulder, was not included as a co-sponsor of the legislation. Some also took issue with the inclusion of details about the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman's, immigration status. Evans' resolution also said the attack 'demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas,' leaning into the politically polarizing issue of immigration. And it 'expresses gratitude' to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement 'for protecting the homeland.' 'In times like these I would have hoped that my colleagues would be willing to come together to properly honor the victims, to condemn antisemitism as I have said and as our resolution does. It's not hard to do the right thing, Mr. Speaker,' Neguse said on the House floor. 'And the question that Mr. Evans should answer is why? Why not join his two other Republican colleagues in Colorado and join the bipartisan resolution that thanks the Boulder Police Department, that thanks the FBI? The purpose of these resolutions is to unite the congress, not divide it.' Neguse and other members of the Colorado congressional delegation — including two Republicans — introduced their own resolution condemning the attack last week. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said the Evans resolution was 'not a serious effort.' 'Who is this guy? He's not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America,' Jeffries said. 'This is not a serious effort. This guy is going to be a one-term member of Congress. He's a complete and total embarrassment.' Soliman was charged with 118 counts of attempted murder after he threw Molotov cocktails at a group of people who were gathered peacefully and calling for the release of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas amid the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. He was also charged with a federal hate crime after acknowledging that he planned the attack for a year and said he 'walked to kill all Zionist people.' In a statement on X after the vote, Greene said she voted 'present' on Van Drew's resolution because Congress has not condemned hate crimes against other groups of Americans. 'Antisemitic hate crimes are wrong, but so are all hate crimes. Yet Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others,' Greene wrote. 'Tonight, the House passed two more antisemitism-related resolutions, the 20th and 21st I've voted on since taking office. Meanwhile, Americans from every background are being murdered — even in the womb — and Congress stays silent. We don't vote on endless resolutions defending them.' 'Prioritizing one group of Americans and/or one foreign country above our own people is fueling resentment and actually driving more division, including antisemitism,' she added. 'These crimes are horrific and easy for me to denounce. But because of the reasons I stated above, I voted present.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ex-DHS deputy secretary: Newsom, Bass responsible for unrest
(NewsNation) — The Trump administration has deployed 700 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles as protests over ICE raids in Southern California enter their fourth day. In a statement, the U.S. Northern Command said the Marines are being deployed to the area to 'help protect federal agents and buildings.' The National Guard was also sent to the area by President Donald Trump, which has been met with backlash from Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta, who announced a lawsuit against the administration for sending them without authorization. Ken Cuccinelli, the former deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security in Trump's first term, told NewsNation that Trump stood firm on his campaign promise to take this direction to bring peace to cities like Los Angeles. He rejected claims from Newsom and Democratic LA Mayor Karen Bass that Trump is inciting the escalation of the protests by bringing in the Marines and National Guard. Trump banned citizens of 12 countries from entering the US. Here's what to know 'I give neither Mayor Bass nor Governor Newsom any quarter here,' Cuccinelli said. 'They're very much responsible for the escalation that's happened here. The president promised to bring peace to the city, but he also promised to enforce immigration laws.' Cuccinelli said the lawsuit is 'well-litigated territory' but that it's for show and stated Bonta knows the state of California will likely lose the case against the Trump administration. 'God bless America, you get to sue whoever you want, but you don't get to win,' Cuccinelli said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
