Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer could be in hot water with his party after Sunday's bipartisan deal that is expected to end the government shutdown this week.
A group of Christian leaders will provide a letter to President Trump on Monday morning calling on him and leaders in Congress to act on behalf of the Christians being persecuted in Syria.
Chuck Schumer finally said the quiet part out loud. In an interview Wednesday about his shutdown strategy, he bragged, “Every day gets better for us. Better...
Louis Geri’s wacked-out manifesto expressed anger about the same targets — ICE, the Supreme Court, Catholics and Jews — that progressives have on their...

The most annoying media “fact-check” is the one that pretends certain words don’t mean what we all know them to mean. We’re talking about the defensive responses this week to the revelation that the Biden Justice Department spied on eight Republican senators. It’s not spying, respond the critics. Just think of it as unannounced monitoring! […]
President Donald Trump has not only secured a ceasefire in the brutal war between Israel and Hamas that has raged almost nonstop since Hamas’s horrific attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, but he and his administration also secured an agreement that, in its first phase, will return the 20 living hostages held in Gaza (and the […]
The Virginia Education Association, the influential teachers union that claims to represent educators across the commonwealth, has revealed its true colors, and they are anything but educational. Despite explosive revelations about Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general, fantasizing about violent acts against a Republican lawmaker, the VEA stubbornly clings to its endorsement […]
China is preparing for war. Iran is arming proxies across the Middle East. Russia continues its assault on Ukraine. And what are the Democrats doing? They’re forcing our military to stand down. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has orchestrated a government shutdown that is gutting military readiness when danger is at our doorstep. He […]
What would you call a political activist who went head-to-head with a bloodthirsty, communist leader, suspected of killing tens of thousands of people and viciously silenced opposition? How would you describe a woman who stood up to a corrupt, brutal dictator who stole a country’s presidential election and arrested citizens of his country who protested? […]

It draws people to small towns like this one to celebrate America’s brilliance […]
As someone who came to artificial intelligence via economics and finance, when I first began advising and writing about technology public policies, I was struck by a paradox. At every roundtable, someone would raise the specter of overregulation stifling innovation. Yet, when I asked who was lobbying for these lighter-touch rules, the answer was always […]
Taylor Swift’s new album is polarizing its listeners — and even some of Swift’s die-hard fans. Its lyrics aren’t resonating like they used to, and with selections such as “Did you girl-boss too close to the sun?” and “But I’m not a bad b**** and this isn’t savage,” it’s not hard to see why. But the […]
It’s difficult to say what the most telling fact is in the Middle East triumph of President Donald Trump and Israel. Is it that terrorist Iran backs the president’s 20-point peace plan for Israel and Gaza? Is it that key Muslim neighbors, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey, are all on board?
