Top White House official leaving administration

 

White House Legislative Director James Braid is leaving the administration, Vice President JD Vance announced on Thursday morning.

 

"Not only is James brilliant, he is one of the hardest workers you will ever meet. Heโ€™s been with me in every fight Iโ€™ve been in, from day one in my senate office through the transition and the President's transformative second term," Vance posted on X. "He has served the President with distinction and I couldn't be prouder of him. Very excited to see what he does next."

 

The White House Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs is responsible for maintaining the president's relationship with Congress and coordinating efforts to pass legislation in both chambers.

 

Braid has held the post since early 2025.

764 Extremist Group Member Sentenced to 77 Years in Prison for Production of Child Sexual Abuse Material and Distribution of Animal Crushing Videos

 

Kyle William Spitze, 27, of Friendsville, TN was sentenced today to 77 years in prison for production of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), abetting the distribution of animal crushing videos, and possessing and accessing with the intent to view CSAM. Following his imprisonment, he was also sentenced to lifetime supervised release and will be required to register with state sex offender registries and comply with special sex offender conditions.

 

โ€œThe Department has pledged to take out online predator networks and todayโ€™s sentence is one step toward justice for the families and children harmed by 764,โ€ said Attorney General Todd Blanche. โ€œThese types of crimes are the worst of the worst: preying on vulnerable children in the name of a violent and twisted ideology. Federal law enforcement will not stop until nihilistic violent extremist groups and their depraved members are identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.โ€

 

โ€œSpitze is one of the original members of the nihilistic violent extremist groups โ€˜Harm Nationโ€™ and โ€˜764,โ€™and was committed to bringing about the downfall of society through terrorism, specifically by targeting children and other vulnerable people and extorting them to engage in criminal sexual conduct, self-harm, and mass casualty events,โ€ said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. โ€œTodayโ€™s sentence of 77 years, the longest federal sentence ever imposed on a nihilistic violent extremist, sends a strong message that civil society will not tolerate such depravity. The National Security Division will work tirelessly with our law-enforcement partners to identify and prosecute these predators and keep our children safe from this new form of terrorism.โ€
