Hours after Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) finished breaking former South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest speech in Senate history, Wisconsin overwhelmingly voted in favor of adding voter identification requirements to the state’s constitution on the same night its voters sent a Democrat to the state’s Supreme Court. The Wisconsin voter identification win […]
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said on Wednesday he hoped to unify the Democratic party with his marathon floor speech this week after the caucus grew bitterly divided in debates over the continuing resolution last month.

Vice President JD Vance and former Vice President Kamala Harris are seen as top contenders for the White House in 2028 by their respective parties, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll.

There are tentative indications that President Donald Trump might finally be waking up to Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s attempts to manipulate him. Speaking to NBC News on Sunday, Trump said he was “very angry, pissed off” over Putin’s questioning of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky‘s authority as a leader. This rhetorical shift might be notable. Until […]
Over the past decade, everyday people have watched in horror and disgust as our once-proud public universities have descended into a liberal quagmire of epic proportions. Thankfully, President Donald Trump and his administration have quickly started to put an end to all of this nonsense and, quite frankly, illegal and un-American activities. Last week, the […]
If Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is the new face of the Democratic Party, Democrats better brace for more election losses. Crockett makes Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) seem centrist, and that’s saying something. Crockett recently referred to Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who is paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.” And that […]
French conservative politician Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement on Monday. Her sentence bars her from running in France’s 2027 election. Le Pen was accused of using funds intended for European Union aides to pay her political staffers. She has denied any wrongdoing. In addition to a five-year ban on running for office, […]
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could only have been confirmed in the glow of Trump’s Golden Age. His resume boasts commendable highlights, particularly his military service and Ivy League education, but there was nothing that qualified him to head a department with 3.4 million personnel and an $850 billion budget. An impressive man, sure — but […]
Alt-right influencer and self-described “alpha male” Andrew Tate is in hot water. Again. The hard-right internet celebrity is already facing prosecution for alleged sex crimes in Romania and the United Kingdom. Now, Tate could also face arrest in the United States. TMZ reports that Tate’s ex-girlfriend, Bri Stern, has filed a police report accusing him […]
Columbia University is still acting as if rampant antisemitism on its campus is nothing to be concerned about. While the university continues looking for a permanent leader, it made Claire Shipman, a co-chair of its board of trustees, its new interim president. Shipman is the university’s third leader in two years. Columbia continues to deal […]
My 11-year-old daughter and her friends need pedometers. I want to know how many steps these girls are clocking on an average day. They’re walking everywhere, to each other’s houses, the local pizza shop, the nail salon — all over the neighborhood. I give my children this freedom very mindfully: I want them to be […]
Last week, YETI, the premium outdoor gear company known for its rugged coolers and drinkware, canceled a custom mug order from our organization, the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women. The reason? Our name includes the words “conservative women,” which YETI deems too “political” to print. Within hours, the decision ignited national outrage. High-profile conservatives, […]
Every community has charitable nonprofit organizations that help people navigate difficult situations. Some of those local, compassionate outreaches, however, are being bullied. An unintended pregnancy is an unexpected battleground across the United States. Every woman should be loved and supported in her pregnancy. Compassionate help dedicated to encouraging women with unplanned pregnancies to say yes to […]
Violent protesters in Bangladesh on Aug. 5 forced the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, the country’s longtime prime minister, Awami League politician, and daughter of Bangladesh’s founding father. After Sheikh Hasina fled for her life (she never technically resigned), the protesters appointed Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus to act as Bangladesh’s interim administrator. While the protesters […]
Democrats won a special election last week for a Pennsylvania state Senate race. The victory was shocking insofar as it was in the heavily Republican district of northern Lancaster County. Democrat James Malone defeated Republican Josh Parsons in a special election for Pennsylvania’s 36th state Senate District. It was a close race on March 25, […]
Public sector unions have long been an affront to democratic accountability at all levels of government, and President Donald Trump’s executive order issued Thursday ending collective bargaining privileges for most federal agencies brings welcome focus to the issue. Whether or not all elements of Trump’s order will stand up in federal court is a different […]
