Former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci’s private pandemic diary has exploded into a political firestorm. Senator Rand Paul’s committee released more than 1,100 pages of journal entries and zeroed in on a Feb. 8 entry where Fauci wrote the COVID fatality rate looked “more like 0.2–0.3%.” Weeks later, under oath, he told Congress the danger looked […] More

Mayor Zohran Mamdani got an abrupt lesson in crowd control when he tried to speak at a pro‑NYPD National Night Out event on Staten Island and was loudly booed off the stage.

Qatar just handed the world a fresh, hopeful rumor dressed up as diplomacy. Its foreign ministry spokesman, Majed al‑Ansari, told reporters that draft language for a possible U.S.‑Iran agreement is being circulated and that Qatar — with partners like Oman — is quietly shuttling proposals between Washington and Tehran. That’s the development: drafts are moving […] More

The Navy just took a big step toward fighting smarter, not just harder. A containerized “factory‑in‑a‑box” from Firestorm Labs — called xCell — was carried aboard the Wasp‑class assault ship USS Essex and used to 3D print unmanned aerial systems and spare parts while underway during RIMPAC 2026. It’s a tidy bit of modern warfare: […] More

Coco Gauff gave a careful answer this week after her match in Toronto. The young tennis star said she supports the trans community, but also understands the WTA’s move to protect fairness in women’s sports.

Here’s the short version: a Senate committee voted this week to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress and to refer the matter to the Department of Justice.

Governor Gavin Newsom has tapped Scott Galloway — the NYU Stern professor, podcaster and entrepreneur — for a seat on the University of California Board of Regents. The announcement is official, but the hire isn’t final: the appointment now needs confirmation from the California State Senate. That gives lawmakers a chance to ask some basic […] More

Five outside groups have just weighed in on one of the more explosive personnel fights inside the FBI. They filed friend‑of‑the‑court briefs supporting three career agents who say they were summarily fired during a broad agency purge led by FBI Director Kash Patel. The briefs press the same point: the terminations were done without due […] More

Representative Seth Moulton’s remark about “two little girls” and transgender athletes touched off the kind of political furor that chews through primaries — and late‑night comedy — with equal appetite. He said what he said, then offered a walkback that some outlets called an apology and many activists called thin. The result: a punchline on […] More

A coordinated federal-state sweep recently put Alaska’s Medicaid fraud problem back in the spotlight. The Alaska Medicaid Fraud Control Unit announced criminal charges in five separate matters that were part of the Department of Justice’s 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown.

Treasurey Secretary Scott Bessent just threw a fresh set of numbers onto the campaign table: wages are rising, and the gains are strongest for Main Street workers.

Abdul El‑Sayed pulled off a narrow win in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary this week, and the reaction inside the party has been almost as fast as the count was close. The New York Post says Governor Gavin Newsom wasted no time endorsing El‑Sayed and is planning a multiday campaign swing to Michigan. That claim about […] More

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn’t tiptoe around it on national television — she called out what she sees as a runaway left-wing money train in New York City, saying the city’s budget shortfall is larger than her state’s entire yearly spending. It’s the kind of blunt, almost jealous comparison that cuts both ways: a […] More

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee just voted along party lines to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress and sent the matter to the Justice Department after he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a grilling over his pandemic-era actions. The scene was equal parts legal sparring and political theater — […] More

The Biden years of open-border chaos finally ran into a simple idea: rules matter. The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation say their new roadside crackdown — billed as “Operation Highway Shield” — took hundreds of unsafe truckers off our roads in the Midwest. If true, that would be welcome news. If […] More

The Supreme Court just handed the Biden-bashing crowd a legal win they’ll never stop talking about — and the country should pay attention. A major decision cleared the way for the administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians, and federal courts have also loosened the shackles on expedited removals. That doesn’t mean […] More

In a result that should make every Republican rethink assumptions about endorsements and outside cash, Representative Andy Ogles lost the GOP primary in Tennessee’s redrawn 5th Congressional District to Dr. Charlie Hatcher. Hatcher, the former Tennessee commissioner of agriculture and a fifth‑generation farmer, edged Ogles by roughly 53% to 47% in a race that was […] More

Susan Collins just pulled the rug out from under one of President Trump’s top picks for the Justice Department.

Representative Jennifer McClellan was pressed on national television and chose the politician’s classic move: pivot and pontificate. On CNN’s The Story Is, she sidestepped a simple question — whether she agrees with Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El‑Sayed’s call to stop U.S. military aid to Israel, including support for the Iron Dome. Voters deserve straight answers […] More
