President Biden again flashed his pro-union credentials during a speech Thursday to members of the United Auto Workers, one of the few major unions not to have endorsed his re-election bid.
The election results this week in Virginia suggest that Republicans must essentially run the table in competitive areas across the state in order to find overall success at the ballot box. Democrats won full control of the General Assembly despite losing in key swing districts.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday announced an article of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, setting up a showdown vote next week.
Liberal activists hit a Michigan courtroom Thursday as part of their latest efforts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, claiming he is not eligible to run for office under the Constitution's insurrection clause.
Few American cartoonists are as adored as Bill Watterson, or as reluctant to embrace that adoration. In 1985, Watterson began publishing Calvin and Hobbes, his syndicated newspaper comic strip about a mischievous Midwestern 6-year-old and his best friend, who is either a talking tiger or a stuffed animal, depending on who does the looking.

Now, more than a decade removed from Romney’s turn as the Republican nominee for president, it seems completely unthinkable. Romney bore the standard of a party whose adherents have gone from inking their faces for him to turning their backs on him with surprising speed.

President Joe Biden has yet to demand publicly that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad release their American hostages. Nor has he described the consequences should these citizens be harmed. This makes the United States look weak.
At a Thursday fundraising event in Chicago, President Biden trolled Republicans after Democrats secured several victories on election night. “Democrats had an incredible night once again,” Biden said at the event, touting Democrats out-performing Republicans, citing wins in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania. “What happened on Tuesday is not unusual,” Biden said. He added that...
