Democrats’ House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser has led to a political firestorm across social media.
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) said Saturday she believes the ongoing legal battle over the Kennedy Center could stand in the way of President Trump tearing down the building, after his administration raised demolition as a possibility earlier this week. Beatty, an ex officio member of the center’s board who has successfully challenged Trump’s proposed changes...
Republicans are nearing the final stretch of the midterm election cycle with an increasingly unstable political landscape, as races for traditionally safe red seats grow competitive amid tensions over President Trump’s economic agenda.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is not alone in the polling and approval woes. Newsom’s polling numbers have dropped from an all-time high of 64% three years ago.

For four years, Bridgerton has shattered Netflix streaming records as it introduced black aristocrats into the 19th century nobility of England, deflowered panting virgins who only learn how babies are made after steamy sessions of coitus interruptus, and showed the court debut of five of the eight siblings born to the titular dowager Viscountess Violet […]
A New York jury acquitted publisher John Peter Zenger of seditious libel in 1735 in what the National Constitution Center correctly calls “an early example of jury nullification.” Three centuries later, another New York jury was falsely instructed that it lacked that power, thereby rendering its guilty verdict against another high-profile defendant, former President Donald […]
The Colorado Republican Party is deeply divided. Last week, this came to a head when GOP Chairman Dave Williams authorized a mass email with the subject line, “God hates pride.” The email denounced Pride Month as a time when “godless groomers” attack what is “decent, holy, and righteous.” The parties’ X account also tweeted a […]
People are pessimistic about Medicare’s longevity. Roughly 7 in 10 adults under 65 say they’re “worried” or “extremely worried” the program won’t be around when they need it, according to a new Gallup poll. That may come as no surprise. Medicare expenditures exceeded $1 trillion in 2023. They’re on track to grow by roughly $930 […]
After right-wing groups were victorious in European elections last week, riots and protests broke out in France. Left-wing political organizations were in total disarray and anger over the political defeat. Many of the groups are communist organizations, a fact that is conveniently omitted by many news organizations covering the political chaos, and they have organized […]
To the ignorant and opportunistic, Friday’s Supreme Court decision invalidating a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms regulation that had banned a firearm accessory known as the “bump stock” looks like a Second Amendment decision. The Supreme Court invalidated federal law that restricted gun ownership, therefore this must have been a Second Amendment decision. But […]
If the Charter Reform Commission proposes some more fiscal discipline and the removal of the advocate, a worthless appendix of city government, it will...
