Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) said she was troubled by social media posts that the leading Democrat in Maine’s Senate race made more than a decade ago about sexual assault.

President Trump said on Saturday that he might pull even more U.S. military troops out of Germany, a threat that came one day after he ordered the Pentagon to withdraw approximately 5,000 service members from the country. “We are going to cut way down, and we’re cutting a lot further than 5,000,” Trump told reporters...
An attorney representing the Trump administration informed a U.S. District Court Friday evening that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has begun offering new appointments to disaster workers whose contracts the agency did not renew in January, reversing a controversial decision that prompted a coalition of labor unions, scientific groups and local governments to sue the administration.
The leader of the Czech Republic pushed back this week against President Trump’s accusations that Europe has failed to do its part to support the U.S.’s ongoing military operations against Iran. “I believe that Europe could do much more, but we are not part of it,” Czech President Petr Pavel told CNN’s Christine Amanpour at...

Mahmoud Khalil is a terrorist supporter and a foreigner with no right to be in the United States. If our country cannot deport someone like him, then we hardly have a functioning country. Khalil is a Columbia University student and activist who organized the university’s illegal “occupation” protests. He is a green card holder, not a legal citizen, whose green card […]
When President Volodymyr Zelensky signed legislation weakening Ukraine’s key anti-corruption agencies on July 22, he appeared to think his people would sit idle. Instead, he unleashed the first major protests in the country since Russia’s invasion began in Feb. 2022. Those protests and Zelensky’s U-turn ultimately demonstrated that Ukrainian democracy remains vibrant even under the most extreme circumstances. The […]

There’s a scene in the latest South Park episode, “Got a Nut,” in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem leads a squad of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents through the pearly gates of heaven. “Only the brown ones.

EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) knows his Bible. Having spoken with him a number of times in recent years, I’ve grown accustomed to the senator casually dropping Bible verses in ordinary conversation. On the phone the other day, Scott responded to my question, “How’s things in D.C.?” by saying, “We’re blessed and highly favored. […]
