Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) called former Vice President Dick Cheney, who died on Monday, a “patriotic American who loved his country.” “While we strongly disagreed on most policy issues, his patriotism was clear when he returned to the House Floor to commemorate the first anniversary of January 6th,” Pelosi said Tuesday on the social...
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on Tuesday cast his vote for the city's next mayor clad in a "Hot Girls for Zohran" T-shirt. "One of the happiest votes I ever cast!" de Blasio wrote in a short post on the social platform X, which featured a photo of the former mayor...
The White House said Tuesday it is complying with a federal court order to tap into a contingency fund to distribute Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, clarifying earlier comments from President Trump where he appeared to say he would withhold those funds.

Who said this? “If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation.” The speaker went on, “Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn’t do it.” It was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in characteristic candor. If, as […]
WEST MIFFLIN — Five months ago, just after President Donald Trump gave a speech in the Mon Valley announcing the finalization of the deal between US Steel and Nippon Steel, I had the opportunity to interview him on Air Force One. As we left the facility, I sat and talked with Trump in “The Beast” […]
The Trump administration is being criticized for announcing the withdrawal of a combat brigade of the U.S. Army’s 101st Air Assault Division from NATO member Romania. The Biden administration deployed these forces to Ukraine-bordering Romania following Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. If Russian forces were surging across the Dnieper River and approaching Romanian borders, […]
Some Democratic politicians and groups have come to the conclusion that Democrats should simply pretend to be more moderate than they are to win back voters.

The month was established to “celebrate the rich ethnic heritage of Italian-Americans and the many contributions they have made to American culture.” Yet, despite this tradition, now in its fourth […]
The term “antisemitism” is anesthetized, imprecise, and historically obtuse jargon that is meant to obscure evil beliefs. Regrettably, I’ve been using the term to describe hatred toward Jews for decades. For one thing, the term was coined by Jew-baiting German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to give the age-old bigotry a modern pseudoscientific framing. Outbursts […]
Federal rules and regulations cost the U.S. economy more than $3 trillion each year and dictate nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives — from the food they can eat to the types of cars they can drive. But while Americans can vote out their representatives in Congress for enacting harmful legislation, there is no similar accountability […]
President Donald Trump’s visit to Asia and expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit in South Korea on Thursday will be pivotal. While trade and rare-earth exports will dominate headlines, the deeper contest is ideological: democracy versus authoritarianism, conscience versus control. At the center of this struggle is Taiwan, the flashpoint […]
Despite the continued suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, the State Department appears to have begun a quiet effort to move a limited number of Afghans with USRAP cases out of Pakistan. Many Afghan USRAP applicants fled to Pakistan following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, both to remain safe amid the Taliban’s reprisal campaign and because […]
What happened to the Whigs in the 1850s? And will the same thing happen to today’s Democrats?
