House Republicans are aiming to move forward a bipartisan housing bill by cutting a requirement that build-to-rent institutional investors sell off their properties within seven years. A new version of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, completed Wednesday night, strips that requirement, which the Senate passed in its own version of the bill. [T]he House could consider the measure next week. The sell-off rule had been a major sticking point in the bill in the House. It's part of a larger ban on institutional investors from owning more than 350 homes in the housing market.

A nonpartisan analysis forecasts that Democrats will fail to retake the U.S. Senate Majority in the midterms, despite the establishment media narrative that Republicans could lose the upper chamber. An Inside Elections analysis recently provided an updated rating, with the tally forecasting Republicans with 52 seats, Democrats with 45 seats, and three tossups. More specifically, the analysis showed Maine and Ohio tilting in the GOP’s direction. In Maine, for example, Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) – the left’s presumptive nominee hoping to oust Republican Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) – has continued to go down in flames with resurfaced Reddit posts showcasing shocking remarks

President Donald Trump explained in a Truth Social post on Monday that Iran’s enriched uranium would either be “immediately turned over” to the United States or would be destroyed “in place” in Iran. In the post, Trump said that if the enriched uranium was not turned over to the U.S. to be “destroyed,” it would be “destroyed in place” in Iran or at another location. “The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location,

This Memorial Day, President Donald Trump honored our troops and warned our enemies by ordering U.S. Central Command to conduct strikes on the Islamic regime of Iran. Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin said CENTCOM spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins confirmed to Fox that CENTCOM conducted the strikes. The news comes as the negotiations with Iran’s terrorist regime stall, with the regime calling for Trump’s assassination and Trump becoming frustrated with their unwillingness to surrender their nuclear program. Griffin posted Hawkins’ statement. “U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” he said. “Targets included

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday urged foreign nationals to leave Kyiv, after Russian forces conducted a large-scale attack on the Ukrainian capital. Russian forces are carrying out “consistent and systemic strikes at enterprises of the Ukrainian defence industry … including specific facilities for designing, manufacturing and programming drones and preparing them for operation,” the ministry said in a statement, accusing Ukrainian forces of launching an attack on a Russian university on Friday. “The strikes will target decision-making centres and command posts,” the ministry continued. “Due to the fact that the above-mentioned facilities are scattered across [Kyiv], we are notifying foreign citizens, including the personnel of diplomatic missions and international organisations

Democrats weighing 2028 presidential campaigns are seeking ties with Sen. Elizabeth Warren as she works to shape the party’s next White House primary, according to Axios. Axios reported Monday that Warren, one of the most influential figures in the progressive movement, is being courted publicly and privately by Democrats eyeing 2028 presidential bids, a sign potential candidates are trying to strengthen their standing with the party’s far-left flank. Warren lost her White House bid in 2020, but Axios noted she later played a major role in shaping President Joe Biden’s administration by helping place allies in his administration. Her moves have also drawn concern from some centrist Democrats, who worry she has

More than 860,000 fireworks are expected to be launched from the National Mall during next [this] year’s Fourth of July celebration for the US’ 250th birthday, an amount that would surpass the current world record for the largest fireworks display. The current record was set during a New Year’s Eve celebration in Manila in 2016, when roughly 809,000 fireworks were used during a show that lasted more than an hour. The planned DC celebration would far exceed the city’s traditional Fourth of July fireworks shows, which typically launch between 17,000 and 20,000 shells. The celebration will be organized by Freedom 250, a public-private partnership launched last December.

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face. "I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school," Steyer told "I've Had It" podcast host Jennifer Welch. "When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, 'We’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport.' It’s like, no we’re not."

Canada's prairie provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, are in some ways more like the western United States than the rest of Canada. They are more independent, more reliant on agriculture and the energy sector, with lower populations, and with a population more inclined to conservative viewpoints. For some time now, the energy-rich province of Alberta has been making noises about seceding from Canada. Now, it looks like that may come to a vote. The Telegraph's Michael Taube has some thoughts on that.

President Trump and sons sued the federal government for its unauthorized release of their tax returns to the public. A settlement resulted, and it was agreed that a $1.8 billion fund would be established to compensate people (but not the Trumps) who were prosecuted on the basis of their political convictions. This Anti-Weaponization fund will be available to anyone making a credible and verified claim, regardless of party or politics. Even James Comey and Letitia James will have the opportunity to file claims. However, it is likely that most claims will be made by people who were excessively prosecuted for their actions in or near the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Memorial Day exists for one reason: to honor the men and women who died in service to this country. It is a solemn, sacred day, the one day a year we set aside not to celebrate veterans broadly, but to mourn and remember those who gave everything. Apparently, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had other plans. On Monday, Frey took to X and posted a lengthy, heartfelt tribute — not to a fallen soldier, but to George Floyd, since May 25 is also the sixth anniversary of when Floyd died. Patriotic Americans were visiting cemeteries, laying wreaths, and reflecting on the price of freedom.

Spc. Richard Leroy McKinley’s white marble headstone may look like the others in Arlington Cemetery, but his grave serves as a grim reminder of the first fatal nuclear accident in America. McKinley’s grave is the only radioactive grave in the cemetery. He was laid to rest in a double lead-lined casket and lowered into a 10-foot concrete grave encased in a metal vault with an additional foot of concrete poured atop his casket. McKinley’s family had to watch the eight-minute veteran’s funeral from 20 feet away. McKinley was born on December 2, 1933, in Union City, Indiana, but he grew up with his big family in Kenton, Ohio.

He clapped back at criticism from people he said didn't know the actual details of the deal. Now, Trump has dropped a big update to the deal — that ultimately, it could turn out to be a more far-reaching peace deal. He said negotiations were proceeding "nicely" with Iran.

Wildfires are down in North America as well as every other continent. Hurricanes and other extreme weather events are milder and less frequent, and fatalities due to it are far fewer.

It was getting close to the fifth anniversary of the radical Islamic terrorist attacks on America, and Monti had his own role in America’s response ever since. The man behind those 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden, was still at large, assumed to be somewhere in Afghanistan or Pakistan, and always on the move. It was also assumed that he was still behind much of the anti-American military attacks and resentment throughout the region.

Once again, the U.S. Senate is on vacation. This group barely works, and when they are in session, they accomplish practically nothing. Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, Congress has passed only one major piece of legislation. While the “One Big Beautiful Bill” was a notable accomplishment, it should not have been the only legislative victory for the Republican Congress. During the same period of President Joe Biden’s administration, a Democratic-led Congress passed four major pieces of legislation: the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Of course, these bills harmed our economy, propelled wasteful spending, and funded ludicrous
