The far-right Alternative for Germany party surged to a resounding victory in a regional election Sunday, but fell a little short of winning a majority in its quest to form the country's first far-right state government since World War II.
An armed assailant lunged at the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, Amy Acton, on Sunday during a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair, injuring several people, campaign officials said.
President Trump on Sunday posted a map of New Mexico labeled "New America" following the spread of a since-debunked online hoax claiming he had signed an executive order renaming the state. The map Trump shared on Truth Social showed a large "X" over "Mexico" in the state's name, with the word "America" labeled below it....
It should be an easy question to answer. “Of the six million migrants encountered while trying to illegally enter the country, how many of them are still in the country?"
Marijuana is a harmful drug. That seems to be an unpopular opinion nowadays, but that doesn’t make the statement any less accurate. It has been linked to significant mental health problems such as depression and suicide ideation, a loss of IQ points, brain abnormalities, and a decline in cognitive functions, among other adverse effects. A recent study has even linked the drug to “heart failure and heart attacks.” Yet despite all these dangers, Ohioans approved a ballot measure Tuesday night to legalize the use of recreational marijuana in the Buckeye State.
An ugly Election Day incident in Arlington, Virginia, captures the blind, sanctimonious aggression of today’s Left. A Republican poll greeter tweeted a video in which he is confronted by a Democrat who lobs a stomach full of self-righteous abuse at him like a clutch of Hamas rockets trying to get through Israel’s Iron Dome. Based on the details of the encounter, like its Middle East analogy, it appears to have been unprovoked.
Heading into tonight’s debate in Miami, the Republican presidential primary race can be divided into two distinct phases. In the first phase, before April 4, Gov.

At some point, Republicans need to look their losing problem in the face. The issue is Donald Trump, and Republicans are going to continue to lose until they recognize that fact.
After promising in 2016 that "for every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia," Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has had the last laugh repeatedly, and Election Night 2023 is no exception. Although the ink is still drying on the exit polls and outstanding ballots are still being counted, there is no way of getting around it: Republicans once again widely underperformed, and they did so in the races that faced the most national scrutiny. Above all, the string of disappointments suffered since 2018 makes clear that the GOP has traded a once-winning coalition for a losing one.
Philadelphia polls closed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. By 8:30 p.m., the Philadelphia Inquirer declared Democrat Cherelle Parker won the mayoral election. Parker defeated Republican David Oh, a Korean American who was vying to become the city’s first Republican mayor since before the thermonuclear bomb was tested. Parker will become the city’s first female mayor. It was yet another quick and embarrassing defeat for the city’s Republican Party, an organization that really exists in name only and has no meaningful impact on the party’s politics.
The Democratic Party had a huge night Tuesday, holding on to the governor’s mansion in Kentucky and the Senate in Virginia while also managing to flip the Virginia House.
