Two years ago, a champagne cork went flying on the Federalist Society convention stage as panelists toasted recent Supreme Court wins. A celebratory mood was still on display at this year’s annual gathering of the conservative legal movement, but those feelings were mixed with shock from Democrats' midterm victories. "On election night, there was a congressman...
GOP Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.) called on his party's congressional leadership — House Speaker Mike Johnson (La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.) to "step up to the daggum plate" Saturday morning, urging the pair to pass legislation funding air travel infrastructure updates in light of Friday's nationwide ground stop. “We know that it...
Microsoft confirmed its services are fully restored as of Saturday after the tech company faced a massive global outage impacting its platforms earlier in the week. “We have completed our efforts to address the underlying issue of the incident and restored service to the remaining impacted customers and regions,” the company wrote in a post...
Italy announced Saturday it is handing Meta an $887 million fine for using photos and videos from Android users’ Facebook galleries without specific consent. Investigators found Facebook had enabled a “get suggestions from gallery when browsing” feature by default and requested access to users' personal photo library through a single permission notice, according to a...
Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) called on Howard Lutnick, President Trump’s Commerce secretary, to step down over reports the cabinet member shielded Nvidia from federal oversight — accusations which emerged after the tech giant's CEO resigned this week. Jensen Huang stepped down from Nvidia's chief role Thursday after claims came to light of his reported...
The 2026 midterm elections were about whether people could afford the food they eat, the house they live in, and take care of themselves and their families. That means it wasn’t about abortion, even though there are millions of pro-life voters. It wasn’t about climate change, even though millions of Americans believe Earth is dangerously […]
First built in 1972, the Landover Mall once featured a Hecht’s, a Sears, a Woolworth’s, and a six-screen movie theater. But by 1998, the Sears and Woolworth’s were gone, and after the Hecht’s closed in 2002, the mall was abandoned entirely before being demolished in 2006. The 90-acre plot has since sat completely empty for […]
“Well, then I wouldn’t be real, would I?” Thus spake Donald Trump, when asked if he would forgive former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to get himself into heaven. That our president would choose damnation tells us bout the man, but it tells us more about our culture. Mercy and forgiveness are out of vogue […]
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” The Wizard of Oz bellowed it right before Toto exposed him. This week, Fox News Digital reported that Neville Roy Singham and his wife, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, have given more than $47,000 combined to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Ilhan Omar […]
The House Committee on Education and the Workforce’s recent report, “Antisemitism in K-12 Schools,” found that, in the School District of Philadelphia, “employees—from teachers to senior staff—foment antisemitism in the district” and that they “have been responsible for drafting district curricula.” The result it finds is predictable: The SDP’s curricula “promote ideology justifying violent resistance […]
The knives are out for War Secretary Pete Hegseth. There has already been one failed attempt to impeach him, but there will surely be others. He has been taking fire from Republicans and Democrats. He’s being blamed for the Iran war’s impact on the midterm elections. There has been unconfirmed speculation that he may be […]
It says something about how unique this past year in tennis was when one of the sport’s greatest of all time (Serena Williams) can attempt a comeback, and this story still wouldn’t crack the top five of the most interesting things that happened in tennis in 2026. That’s partly due to the fact that Williams […]
I didn’t panic when, after a single day of post-election ebullience, the stock market saw a sweeping, AI-fueled tech sell-off. I didn’t panic when voters across the midterm elections decided, in 40 of 41 local ballot measures, to restrict data center development. Nor did I panic when Anthropic, which originally said it was gunning for […]
I have always detested religious prejudice, whether directed at Methodists, Mormons, Muslims, or anyone else. I don’t know why it bothers me so much. Perhaps it has to do with my own background, Ulster Catholic on one side and Scots Presbyterian on the other, a combination that (trust me on this) gives you an exceptionally […]
