WASHINGTON — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is urging Congress to reject what she described as a dramatic expansion of funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, weighing in as lawmakers continue to negotiate broader Department of Homeland Security funding with a deadline looming. In a post Monday on X, Warren said congressional Republicans want to…

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a sharp, simple border line that’s getting repeated across conservative accounts: “In the last 9 months, ZERO illegal aliens were released in the U.S.” The post (dated Feb. 7) appears to echo a Rapid Response 47 clip quoting President Trump making a similar “nine months” claim. In the last…

WASHINGTON — Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley said “illegal Chinese biolabs” have been discovered in California and Nevada, urging tougher restrictions on pathogens and tighter controls on Chinese access to U.S. research visas as federal investigators examine a suspected lab found inside a Las Vegas home.

WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance accused Rep. Jerrold Nadler of encouraging violence against federal law enforcement after the New York Democrat said Americans could be “justified” using self-defense if they believed they were being attacked or kidnapped by masked individuals, comments made during a House Judiciary Committee hearing focused on immigration enforcement. Jerry Nadler…

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will cut academic ties with Harvard University and end professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs connected to the school beginning with the 2026–27 academic year, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced, calling the Ivy League institution “woke” and arguing it no longer aligns with the military’s training needs. File this under:…

President Donald Trump has opened a new front in his trade battles, threatening to revoke U.S. certification for Canadian-built business jets and to slap a punitive 50% tariff on aircraft crossing the border. The move targets one of Canada’s flagship manufacturers and raises the prospect of a sudden shock to cross-border aviation, finance and diplomacy….

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday condemned what he described as a racist attack aimed at former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, urging President Donald Trump to delete a post and apologize as Democrats pressed Republicans to respond. Racist. Vile. Abhorrent. This is dangerous and degrades our country—where…

Leading Democrats are no longer couching their criticism of federal law enforcement in careful legalese. They are now telling voters outright that the U.S. Justice Department, under President Donald Trump, cannot be relied on to protect civil rights, police accountability, or even the integrity of elections. That is a remarkable break with decades of bipartisan…

Democrats are racing to redefine their immigration message ahead of the next round of elections, promising to overhaul enforcement without explicitly calling to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Party leaders talk about “reimagining” the system, tightening guardrails and punishing abuses, while activists and some candidates demand far more sweeping change. The result is a delicate…

Every time Republicans flirt with a federal funding lapse, they insist this shutdown will be different. Yet history keeps delivering the same verdict: the government closes, the economy stumbles, public services seize up, and voters mostly blame the party that pulled the trigger. The pattern has become so consistent that the latest brinkmanship serves less…

Across Russia, the war that the Kremlin promised would be distant is now cutting directly into daily life, as mobile internet connections vanish without warning and entire regions are pushed offline. What began as targeted disruptions around military sites has widened into a rolling blackout that affects commuters, shopkeepers, students and soldiers’ families alike. The…

WASHINGTON — Sen. Raphael Warnock is escalating his criticism of the Trump-Vance administration, accusing it of embracing “cruelty” as a governing strategy as Democrats intensify their attacks on immigration enforcement, economic messaging and cultural policy in the early weeks of the new term. The Trump-Vance regime majors in cruelty. We must fight this kind of…

Facing a revolt over immigration policy and the prospect of a prolonged funding lapse, President Donald Trump quietly shifted from public confrontation to direct engagement with Senate Democrats. Instead of relying only on televised pressure campaigns, he moved into more discreet negotiations with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as both sides searched for a way…

Newly released images from United States authorities have injected fresh shock into the already toxic legacy of Jeffrey Epstein, appearing to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on all fours over a woman lying on the floor. The undated photographs, taken from a large cache of Epstein-related material, have reignited questions about the former prince’s judgment, his years-long…

President Donald Trump has drawn a sharp new line around federal power, declaring that the Department of Homeland Security will stand back from unrest in Democrat-led cities unless local leaders explicitly request help. His vow, framed as a refusal to rescue “poorly run” jurisdictions, turns street protests over immigration enforcement into a test of political…

Immigration and Customs Enforcement was created to enforce civil immigration law, not to operate as a domestic intelligence service or paramilitary force. Yet a growing body of evidence shows an agency using opaque tactics, sweeping surveillance and aggressive raids that reach far beyond its original mandate. From secret legal memos to masked agents and warrantless…

The Pentagon’s sweeping new media rules have triggered a rare, coordinated revolt from major news organizations, civil liberties groups, and longtime defense reporters. At the center of the fight is a 17 page policy that ties basic access to the building to strict limits on what credentialed journalists can publish, even when information is unclassified….
