Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) is pushing the idea of illustrations in all new bills in Congress — because text alone is just too difficult to comprehend.
Google Maps has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America days after President Trump signed an executive order calling for the change last week amid a U.S. trade war with Canada.
Rep. Jim Clyburn, a senior adviser to House Democratic leaders, said Sunday that Democrats could impeach President Trump if the party wins back the House majority in November.
President Trump said Sunday he plans to use some of the oil he secured from Venezuela to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has been depleted to near-record lows.
President Trump said Sunday that he will report "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission "for rebuke or punishment."
Washington is sending billions of dollars into Iraq while trying to contain Iran across the Middle East. Those two policies are colliding, and the United States is losing. For years, the U.S. has funneled billions of dollars into Iraq’s economy through oil revenue mechanisms tied to the Federal Reserve. The goal was stability: support Iraq’s […]
Approval ratings for Congress currently sit at an abysmal 16%, and it’s no wonder why: Last year, the federal government broke its record for longest continuous shutdown at 43 days. Today, a partial shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security has surpassed 69 days. Congress has an opportunity to regain the public’s trust by delivering […]
They warned us that the Democratic Socialists of America were coming to a town near you. I just didn’t realize it was going to be my town. In New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District — a region defined by manicured lawns, multimillion-dollar estates, and quaint bistros — Rep. Analilia Mejia (D-NJ), a radical Democratic socialist, cruised […]
When facts are stranger than fiction, pundits will say, “You can’t make this stuff up.” But actually, you can make this stuff up — that turns out to be the Left’s modus operandi. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a malignant organization that smears decent conservatives, has been caught red-handed — le mot juste — financing […]
Congressional Democrats are unilaterally and unprecedentedly refusing to pass a normal Department of Homeland Security spending bill. So, Republicans are taking an equally partisan approach to ending what’s now the nation’s single longest government shutdown. With President Donald Trump’s blessing, both Republican-controlled chambers of Congress are moving to fund DHS fully through the rest of […]
“Nobody knows the system better than me,” President Donald Trump crowed while accepting the Republican nomination in 2016, “which is why I alone can fix it. I have seen firsthand how the system is rigged against our citizens …” Only a corrupt New York City developer like him, Trump was arguing, could root the corruption […]
James Carville, the Ragin’ Cajun, famously has a temper — hence the nickname. But he has long been regarded as an old-guard, pragmatic, victory-minded Clintonite Democrat. He has occasionally lashed out at the woke excesses of his party’s left flank, usually on the grounds that its extreme stances and rhetoric are electorally unhelpful. These days, […]
In Washington, we have long talked about non-denial denials. But is there such a thing as a non-admission admission? A non-confession confession? A non-confirmation confirmation? New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel may have created the genre. When the New York Post’s Page Six published photographs of him cavorting with NFL reporter Dianna Russini (both […]
Since becoming a parent 12 years ago, I’ve come to appreciate how thin the line can be between a toddler meltdown and a political fist-fight. Once you’ve spent enough time around small children, you start to recognize that the outbursts from toddlers and politicians have a familiar throughline. We saw that dynamic in Virginia this […]
The seeds of American liberty were planted by those who fled religious persecution and sought a land where they could live according to the convictions of their consciences. But in a suburb of Cleveland, local government officials attempted to prevent one Jewish man, Daniel Grand, from hosting fellow Jews in his house to pray. The […]
Indefinite delays are not a side issue in dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran. They are the strategy. For decades, this terrorist regime has perfected the art of stalling, deflecting, and prolonging negotiations in order to advance its most dangerous objectives out of view and without consequence. That reality must guide every U.S. decision […]
