Abdul el Sayed is starting to crumble under the public pressure of his Senate campaign in Michigan, so he has sprinted to the Democratic Party’s old, reliable argument: Everyone criticizing him must be a bigot. El Sayed has fully embraced this line of defense, telling a rally crowd about his debate with Republican candidate Mike […]
As voters head to the polls on Sunday, students are once again at the center of Serbian politics. Their movement began two years ago, in November of 2024, when the concrete canopy of the newly renovated railway station in Novi Sad, the country’s second largest city, collapsed and killed 16 people. Many Serbians saw the […]
A day or two ago, a political polling company named Wedgewood Polls admitted that its election data was entirely fake.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered the warning at the first Turning Point USA conference following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
