IN FULL:

Ed Martin, President Donald J. Trump‘s initial nominee for a top federal prosecutor position in Washington, D.C., was the target of a spitting assault during an interview on May 9. The woman involved has been identified by the U.S. Marshals, who are preparing to arrest her.

The event unfolded while Martin was speaking with reporters, and the woman, while passing by, angrily identified him by name before spitting on him. She further insulted Martin, calling him a “disgusting man,” while walking her small dog.

The incident quickly gained traction online, with the video being viewed by millions. Many have criticized the woman, labeling her as a “psychotic lib” and a “feral leftist.” There are calls for her to face legal consequences.

“Ed Martin tells me the U.S. Marshals do know who the woman is who spit on him yesterday during a Newsmax appearance,” radio host Vince Coglianese said.

The backdrop to this incident is President Trump’s recent decision to withdraw Martin’s nomination for the federal prosecutor role. This decision came after Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) expressed his unwillingness to support Martin over his handling of January 6 cases. Tillis remarked, “I have no tolerance for anybody that entered the building on January 6, and that’s probably where most of the friction was.” Martin’s interim term as U.S. Attorney expires on May 20.

Following the withdrawal, Trump nominated Judge Jeanine Pirro. Martin will now serve as the Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney in the Justice Department.

Trump praised Martin’s work as interim U.S. Attorney and expressed confidence in his new role, stating that Martin would “provide much needed Justice” for victims of government weaponization under the current administration.

The spitting incident is just the latest act of leftist violence. It comes just days after Antifa militants assaulted people in Seattle with feces and threatened elderly people at a Turning Point USA event.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Transgenders in the U.S. military are being given between 30 and 60 days to self-separate after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to enforce a ban on their service.

👥 Who’s Involved: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, approximately 1,000 transgender service members, and the Supreme Court.

📍 Where & When: U.S. military, with deadlines for self-separation being set by June 6 for active duty and July 7 for reservists, according to a Department of Defense (DOD) memo published on Thursday, May 9, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “After a SCOTUS victory for [President Trump], TRANS is out at the DOD,” Hegseth announced on X (formerly Twitter).

⚠️ Impact: The ruling affects military readiness policies and a broader effort to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at the Department of Defense (DOD).

The Department of Defense (DOD) has initiated a timeline for transgender service members to voluntarily separate from the military following a Supreme Court order clearing the way for a ban on their service in the U.S. military. A recent memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth outlines that approximately 1,000 service members who have identified as having gender dysphoria must begin the process of self-separation. Active duty members are required to exit by June 6, with reservists having until July 7 to comply.

This development follows the Supreme Court’s decision to stay a lower court ruling, effectively allowing the Trump administration’s ban on transgender troops to proceed. The administration argues that this policy is essential for maintaining military readiness, unit cohesion, and avoiding the disproportionate costs associated with transgenders’ need for often lifelong medical care.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell expressed satisfaction with the court’s decision, stating: “The Secretary is encouraged by the Supreme Court’s order staying the lower court’s injunction, allowing the Department of Defense to carry out its policies associated with ‘Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness.'”

Hegseth, in an announcement on X (formerly Twitter), declared, “After a SCOTUS victory for [President Trump], TRANS is out at the DOD.” He further noted that service members with a current diagnosis or history of gender dysphoria could choose to separate voluntarily by the set deadlines, or face involuntary removal if they fail to do so.

The Trump administration’s policy, initially introduced via Executive Order in January, mandates updates to medical standards to prioritize readiness and lethality. It also seeks to eliminate the use of invented and identification-based pronouns within the Department of Defense.

The Pentagon’s move is part of a broader initiative to eliminate policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and gender ideology. Hegseth recently announced that nearly all DEI-related policies have been removed from the Department, alongside efforts to standardize fitness tests for men and women.

From January 2016 to May 2021, the Department of Defense reportedly spent around $15 million on transgender treatments for active-duty service members. This financial aspect has been a point of contention in discussions about military spending and readiness.
