On March 1, an immigrant from Senegal, apparently angry over the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, donned a T-shirt that said “Property of Allah,” grabbed a Koran, a pistol, and a semi-automatic rifle, and headed toward a popular nightlife area in Austin, Texas. There, he shot and killed three people and wounded 14 others before police killed him. On March 12, an immigrant from Sierra Leone who had served years in prison for...

Set aside for a moment the enormity of Iran’s clerical tyranny having murdered tens of thousands of unarmed citizens. Even then, thinking only of America’s national security interests, without considering the moral imperative to stop a historic massacre and punish the perpetrators, it is nevertheless imperative th...
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) defended the members of his party who refused to stand after President Donald Trump asked them to stand if they believed native citizens should be prioritized over illegal immigrants at his State of the Union address.
Trump baited Democrats into a public relations blunder during his address by asking them to stand if they agreed that American citizens should take priority over illegal imm...
Sen. Lindsey Graham’s message to President Donald Trump was clear: The president has a “generational opportunity” to reshape the Middle East by toppling Iran’s leaders.
The South Carolina senator used one of his regular rounds of golf earlier this month to make one of his regular arguments, Secrets can reveal, that it was time to take on the mullahs.

President Donald Trump’s administration is defending Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick against bipartisan calls for the Cabinet secretary to resign due to his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest trove of Epstein files released by the Justice Department showed that Lutnick planned to visit Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands in December 2012 after claiming that he and his wife cut ties with...
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) will not support any funding for the Department of Homeland Security without a deal on the conduct of federal officials, a new line in the sand for congressional Democrats that increases the likelihood of a partial government shutdown later this month.
Jeffries told the Washington Examiner he is a “hard no” on a full-year bill that keeps DHS funding flat, viewed by Republican...
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) said on Tuesday that he “would beat the s*** out of” Vice President JD Vance if given the chance, a remark that underscored his frustration with calls for bipartisanship amid escalating political tensions over immigration and enforcement.
Walz made the comment during an interview with Tim Miller on the Bulwark podcast while discussing the state’s response to federal immigration activ...
President Donald Trump marked the first year of his second term with a lengthy press conference, rattling off his achievements and lamenting his failure to break through on the economy.
“Maybe I have bad public relations people, but we’re not getting it across,” Trump said of his economic performance. “I don’t like to do this, but I do it because I’ve got to get the word out.”

As Venezuela‘s former dictator Nicolás Maduro left his country, captured by U.S. military forces, Maduro’s cabinet and regime officials made it out of the operation largely unscathed, still holding onto their positions of power.
President Donald Trump has opted to work with Maduro’s former vice president Delcy Rodríguez, whom the Venezuelan Supreme Court tapped to serve as interim President in Maduro...
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced the first congressional hearing into the Minnesota fraud scandal and invited Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and state Attorney General Keith Ellison to participate at a later date.
The first hearing, scheduled for Jan. 7, will include testimony from state Reps. Kristin Robbins, Walter Hudson, and Marion Rarick, all of whom are Republicans. Comer has invited Walz and Ellison to testify on ...
Susie Wiles, described by President Donald Trump as the most powerful woman in the world, has hit back at a series of Vanity Fair articles in which she made several unflattering comments about members of the administration, including her boss.
Wiles, the first-ever female White House chief of staff, referred to the pieces, published Tuesday morning, as a “disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White H...
TRUMP’S JOB IS TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE ECONOMY. If you want to see why President Donald Trump is visiting Pennsylvania to talk about affordability, and why he is planning rallies on the topic around the country in the coming weeks, just look at the simple question asked in the new Harvard CAPS Harris poll: “What would you say are the most important issues facing the country today?”
The...
A fishy reek is emanating from the latest scandal about President Donald Trump’s military campaign against drug runners in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. U.S. forces have so far attacked more than a dozen fast boats on known drug routes, destroying them and their cargo and killing some 80 members of their crews.
One might assume the fishy thing is the lack of full video of the first attack on Sept...
Washington Examiner editor-in-chief Hugo Gurdon joins chief political correspondent Byron York to discuss the six Democratic Senators that released a video for service members from the US military to not follow unlawful orders.

In the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump was doing nonstop rallies, many of them outdoors despite an assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left him bloodied after a bullet struck his ear.
The rallies felt more like festivals than political events, with crowds gathering hours early amid music and pageantry. Local heroes, union leaders, elected officials, and retired milit...
Democrats are about to learn the same lesson Republicans have several times before them: like a nuclear war, nobody wins a government shutdown.
That’s not for lack of trying. The federal government has been shut down for more than 40 days, as it took 15 Senate votes for Democrats to relent and allow a short-term funding bill to pass.

Politicians tend to be somewhat triumphalist in moments of triumph. So Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani could have been forgiven for a little exaltation as he spoke to his electrified supporters after winning the New York City mayoral election.
But his oration was more than that. He was downright sinister, glorying not just in his achievement but in having laid low his vanquished enemies and stuck it to others besides. He took o...
President Donald Trump’s tearing down of the White House East Wing’s facade has faced criticism, but the renovation is only the latest of over a century of redesigns.
Several of these involved tearing down or gutting significant parts of the White House, to a greater extent than the most recent ballroom renovation. The White House itself was quick to respond to outrage over pictures of the East Wing facade being torn do...
This week saw the debut of a new alliance in the ongoing resistance to President Donald Trump. New York Attorney General Letitia James, already a hero on the left for the 2022 lawsuit she filed in an attempt to cripple Trump’s business empire, joined Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a rally that was nominally about Mamdani’s campaign, but also about James’s defense against mortgage fraud ch...
If you listen carefully, you can hear two distinct sounds — one of anxiety, the other of laughter — coming from Washington, D.C. Each is muffled but not very well.
The first is of timorous Democrats promising to keep the federal government shut until Republicans add $700 billion more to the national debt. They want to hang tough, but they know they are between a rock and a hard-left place.
