Run Hide Fight: Infidels has become a small but telling victory in the culture war. Reviewers shredded it, pundits rolled their eyes, and the usual gatekeepers declared it dead on arrival. Instead, the movie landed where it mattered — in front of a paying audience on the Daily Wire — and that backlash turned into […] More

Karl Rove’s decision to say he will vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal in the race for the Texas Railroad Commission is the kind of intra-party drama that makes political consultants reach for the TUMS. Rove called Republican candidate Bo French a “bigot” at a private Austin lunch after French posted a photo and comment about […] More

Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar rolled out what they call the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act — a sweeping plan to pause advanced AI development and outlaw anything “we cannot fully control.” It reads less like a narrowly targeted safety bill and more like a political sledgehammer tossed at an industry that moves faster […] More

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has quietly done something meteorologists rarely see: it reached the climatological peak with zero hurricanes in the books. That’s the latest first hurricane on record in the satellite era, and it has forecasters scratching their heads, checking wind charts, and, yes, feeling a little smug if you like quieter coasts. […] More

President Donald Trump turned a Gastonia campaign stop into a teachable moment for his voters — and a viral clip for everyone else. Midway through a rally for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley, he paused to answer a woman who heckled the crowd. His quick quip — “She’s going home to Mama” — and […] More

Victor Davis Hanson sat across from Glenn Beck and laid out a simple, bold idea: President Donald Trump is not improvising. Hanson argues the administration is quietly reshaping institutions and politics in a long game that conservatives should notice. The segment — promoted as a look at the “GENIUS plan” behind Trump’s “quiet revolution” — […] More

FBI Director Kash Patel told the Senate Judiciary Committee this week that the bureau has now captured all 10 people who were on its Ten Most Wanted list when President Donald Trump took office. It was a short, sharp brag: “10 of 10.” That line matters because it shows results, and results are what people […] More

ActBlue is in the spotlight — and not the good kind. What began as reporting about confusing internal memos has turned into a legal and political melee that raises real questions about how billions in political donations are handled. Both sides are digging in, and ordinary voters deserve straight answers, not partisan spin. ActBlue under […] More

President Donald Trump has once again pointed a finger — this time at Pickaxe Mountain, the deep underground complex in Iran that open‑source analysts say sits hundreds of feet under rock. From the GOP midterm convention stage to Oval Office remarks, the President warned that the United States might have to “hit them very hard.” […] More

Fox’s The Five served a neat little package of politics and policy this week: cheerleading for President Trump’s midterm push wrapped around a celebratory take on a new poverty report. The network’s panel—now featuring Emily Compagno as a full‑time co‑host—used the data to argue the economy is delivering for working Americans, and that President Trump’s […] More

Two House Democrats just handed Republicans a tidy political gift. Representatives Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez crossed the aisle to save a failing GOP procedural rule. That vote opened the floor to a package that included a GOP resolution condemning “socialism” and other items Republicans want to run on this fall. Democratic leaders called […] More

The Postal Service published its “Ballot Mail for Federal Elections” final rule, and the internet predictably filled with shrieks, corrections and hot takes. The short version: the rule text explicitly excludes ballots covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), but a new amicus filing by a group of former military and […] More

The new PPIC poll is a glimpse into voter confusion — or into the clever work of billionaires who want a tax, as long as they write the rules. The survey finds a narrow majority of likely California voters say “yes” to Proposition 40, the proposed one‑time 5% tax on billionaires. At the same time, […] More

Representative Ilhan Omar’s Don Lemon interview has been making the rounds again, and for predictable reasons: she refused to apologize for calling Charlie Kirk’s record “filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy.” That remark, made as the anniversary of Kirk’s killing was being observed, has renewed outrage on the right and created yet another spectacle […] More

The New York State Board of Regents just gave Albany another education detour. They voted to let the State Education Department move forward with “NY Inspires,” a plan that will stop requiring students to pass specified Regents exams to earn a high-school diploma. The change will affect the class identified as the class of 2028 […] More

U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond has done something almost unheard of: he disqualified Philadelphia’s top prosecutor from a federal habeas case and formally asked the Justice Department to look into whether District Attorney Larry Krasner and a senior aide broke the law. This referral is not an indictment. It is, however, a serious red […] More

The State Department’s move to yank visas from foreign nationals who celebrated the killing of Charlie Kirk deserved attention — but so did a little honesty. Social media exploded with dramatic airport clips and the phrase “mass deportation.” The truth is messier, and more sensible, than the clickbait version. Marco Rubio, visa revocations, and the […] More

The U.S. Department of Education’s Student Privacy Policy Office has opened a formal investigation into the Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough. The probe centers on whether school staff violated federal student‑privacy laws after parents say their teen was encouraged to socially transition at school without their knowledge. This is the kind of federal action […] More

Federal prosecutors this week unsealed a criminal complaint charging a 21‑year‑old Pennsylvania man with a terrorism‑related firearms offense. The Department of Justice says the charged conduct centers on an alleged plan inspired by ISIS and involves the receipt of a rifle, magazines and ammunition with the intent that they be used in a violent crime. […] More

President Donald Trump’s political operation just dropped a political nuke into the midterm ad market. MAGA Inc. and two newly formed super PACs have reserved roughly $130–$138 million in ad buys and outreach to push Republican candidates across dozens of battleground races. This is a late, concentrated play meant to shape who controls Congress — […] More
