President Trump’s recent letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told the Ayatollah he wants to see a new nuclear deal “very soon,” a senior administration official told The Post.
Should Iran fail to take his request seriously, Trump will contemplate other options as the administration seeks to stop the theocratic regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon, according to the official.
“President Trump made it clear to Ayatollah Khamenei that he wanted to resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program diplomatically – and very soon – and if this was not possible, there would be other ways to resolve the dispute,” US National Security Council Brian Hughes told The Post.
An anti-Trump FBI agent was arrested and charged for disclosing classified information.
Johnathan Buma allegedly disclosed internal classified documents and text messages to associates.
Court documents revealed that Johnathan Buma had printed 130 files from the FBI’s internal network, with many of the documents marked with warnings that the information is confidential.
Buma shared a draft of a book he was writing about his career in the FBI with colleagues, and it contained sensitive information, the charging documents said.
Venezuela’s socialist regime launched a new website Tuesday that allows individuals to report alleged “unjust deportations” of Venezuelan illegal migrants from the United States “before it’s too late.”
The website is managed by the “Committee for the Defense of Venezuelan Migrants,” an organization directly affiliated with the Venezuelan socialist regime that describes itself as an organization “committed to the defense and promotion of human rights focused on denouncing and making visible the situation of Venezuelan migrants in the U.S.”
As DOGE’s efforts shift to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in social welfare programs including SNAP, Social Security, and Medicaid, The Drill Down podcast welcomes a nationally recognized expert in spotting how those programs are rife with fraud.
Andrew McClenahan is, among other things, intergovernmental committee co-chair for an organization called the United Council on Welfare Fraud, and has investigated fraud in the food stamp program, including one bust several years ago that stopped a $100 million fraud scheme in South Florida. The group is made up of welfare fraud investigators from every state.
Congressional Democrats — who were hoping to blast Republicans over budget cuts — instead took incoming from their exasperated constituents when they traveled home to host town halls. In Arizona, Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly were confronted at a joint forum Monday by an attendee demanding to know if they “would support removing” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In Oregon, an audience member told Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Janelle Bynum on Sunday that he is “so p----- off right now at the leadership in the United States Senate that they are not willing to step up and fight.”

Two Rupert Murdoch-owned establishment media outlets with contentious relationships with President Donald Trump hosted staff members for prominent House Democrats in February to offer strategic communications advice.
The leftwing Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) sponsored and financed an all-expenses-paid trip for a Democrat-heavy group of congressional staffers to New York City February 27-28 to meet with representatives of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, Sludge first reported.
PPI, founded in 1989 by the Democratic Leadership Council “as the intellectual home of the New Democrats,” is an arm of the self-described “center-left” Third Way.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is set to sign a long-anticipated executive order Thursday that seeks to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education, delivering on a signature campaign promise to try to dismantle the agency, according to senior Trump administration officials.
Trump is expected to sign the order, which has been in the works for weeks, at a White House ceremony attended by several Republican governors and state education commissioners.
Trump will direct his education secretary, Linda McMahon, to take "all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education authority to the States," according to a White House summary
In a poor neighbourhood of the Venezuelan city of Maracay, the mother of 24-year-old Francisco José García Casique was waiting for him on Saturday.
It had been 18 months since he had migrated to the US to begin a new life but he had told her that he was now being deported back to Caracas, Venezuela's capital, for being in the US illegally. They had spoken that morning, just before he was due to depart.
"I thought it was a good sign that he was being deported [to Caracas]," Myrelis Casique López recalled. She had missed her son deeply since he left home.
But he never arrived. And while watching a television
The U.S. Department of Education has opened Title VI investigations into dozens of colleges and universities that are still engaging in race-based practices even after the department sent a Dear Colleague letter explaining what it says is the unlawfulness of race-based decisions in education.
Forty-five universities are being investigated for “allegedly engaging in race-exclusionary practices in their graduate programs“ and seven for “alleged impermissible race-based scholarships and race-based segregation” according to a Department of Education news release.
The release said that the department’s Office for Civil Rights opened investigations “under Title VI” following its Feb. 14 Dear Colleague letter.
Several longtime sponsors, including the company that makes Bud Light, have pulled their funding from the annual San Francisco Gay Pride Weekend.
For some reason, San Francisco Pride requires $3.2 million to cover its June weekend of events. Corporate sponsors were expected to pay $2.3 million of that. But after four declined, the organization will have to scramble to make up the $300,000 shortfall elsewhere.
San Francisco Pride’s executive director, Suzanne Ford, told SFGATE that they expect to lose a few sponsors every year, but it was “very abnormal” for four sponsors who have been with them for years to suddenly bail out.
A federal judge just proved why the left's weaponization of the judiciary threatens our military readiness and national security. In a ruling that reads more like one of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Instagram rants than a legal opinion, Judge Ana Reyes blocked President Trump's common-sense executive order on military service requirements.
The executive order in question, signed by Trump in January, simply reaffirmed that military service demands adherence to biological reality, stating that "expressing a false 'gender identity' divergent from an individual's sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service."
Let's remember the context here: Trump is simply trying to reinstate the same policy that served our military well for decades
President Donald Trump fired another volley against his establishment media adversary Fox News as well as the White House Correspondents’ Association Wednesday.
Trump took to Truth Social to specifically target Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.
“I watched Jacqui Heinrich from Fox over the weekend and I thought she was absolutely terrible. She should be working for CNN, not Fox,” Trump posted. “Not surprisingly, I later found out that she’s a fan of the White House Correspondents Association!”
An incident earlier this week has raised even more concerns regarding Senator Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) and his health.
As WDRD reported, McConnell sat down with business leaders and answered multiple questions from the media during a visit to Elizabethtown on Tuesday. The topics covered during the event included tariffs, foreign policy, and his legacy.
Things then took an alarming turn when a reporter asked him about President Trump’s tariffs. During this sequence, one would think McConnell had suddenly gone deaf.
A North Dakota jury on Wednesday found Greenpeace liable for millions of dollars in damages to a giant pipeline company in relation to protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline nearly a decade ago.
Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners sued Greenpeace for $300 million in 2019, accusing the environmental group of masterminding the protests, spreading misinformation and causing the company financial loss through damaged property and lost revenues.
After a three-week trial, the 9-person jury took two days to return their verdict.
As aspects of President Donald Trump's agenda are stymied by judges amid legal challenges, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suggested that Congress could strip federal courts of jurisdiction. "Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases in the first place. The sabotaging of President Trump’s agenda by ‘resistance’ judges was predictable — why no jurisdiction-stripping bills tee’d up at the onset of this Congress?" DeSantis wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
TURTLE CREEK, Pennsylvania — When Joe Mastrangelo joined the fledgling Eos Energy Storage in 2018 in Western Pennsylvania’s Mon Valley, he said the plan was to build the batteries in China and ship them back to the United States.
“That quickly changed to us moving all of the manufacturing back to the United States because it would be easier for us to scale up production. We ended up building a whole supply base to the point where 90% of the product made here comes from the United States,” he said.Mastrangelo is standing in the middle of one of the buildings in the massive 92-acre
Yesterday, US District Judge Theodore D. Chuang temporarily blocked any further whittling down of USAID. It’s another ruling in a string of decisions from lunatic district courts that think they’re the executive. From immigration policy to the military, these little judges believe they can dictate things that are left solely to the president under Article II. It’s madness, and Trump should ignore these rogue courts. Chuang’s ruling even said that Congress created USAID. That’s false, Teddy—it was established via an executive order from John F. Kennedy.

I know. You're thinking "The Babylon Bee," right?
While virtually nothing surprises me anymore (politically, at least), I had to do a double-take when I first saw this story. I mean, it had to be satire. Chinese police stations operating in the United States of America? Surely they jest? Surely they don't.As we learned on Tuesday, Congressional Republicans are targeting "secret" Chinese police stations operating in the U.S. with a new bill designed to counter the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign influence operations.
Not to nitpick right off the bat, but why on God's green earth did the U.S. allow these facilities to function at all in the first place?

Peter Navarro, the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for President Donald Trump, tells Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that virtually all new jobs created during the Biden administration went to newly arrived migrants who poured across the United States-Mexico border.
During an exclusive sit-down interview with Marlow at the White House for The Alex Marlow Show podcast, Navarro explained mass immigration’s close relationship to free trade, where the cost of labor plummets, dragging down Americans’ wages.“Both capital and labor are mobile, okay. Now think about that. So, depending on conditions, you’re in Britain, right, labor is mobile, and the next thing you know, you got the world coming in
The left loves to talk about how they are all about "trusting the science," but one of the fundamentals about science is this: When the data contradicts your hypothesis, you change your hypothesis. The Biden administration certainly didn't do this; they would rather hide inconvenient data. Case in point: A recent Daily Caller exclusive reveals that the Biden administration buried an inconvenient liquid natural gas (LNG) export study that would have removed the primary reason for that administration's LNG export ban.
The Biden administration deliberately buried a final draft version of a study that would have undermined its January 2024 decision to pause approvals
Judge James Boasberg granted a 24 hour stay in the Enemies Alien Act case, but he made sure to blast the Trump Administration in his latest court order.
President Trump’s DOJ earlier Tuesday accused Judge Boasberg of being engaged in “picayune dispute over micromanagement of immaterial factfinding” for asking whether the government defied his previous order related to ordering planes en route to Central America deporting dangerous Venezuelan aliens to turn around.

My first job in high school was washing dishes at a local restaurant. It wasn’t glamorous, but it paid well. Some of my other friends spent that summer picking tobacco in the Connecticut River Valley. Both jobs were hard work, but at $8 an hour – real money for a teenager in 1985 – we were happy to do either.
Fast-forward to today, and you’ll find American teenagers and adults working at places like In-N-Out Burger, flipping burgers for $25 an hour. Why? Because when wages make sense, Americans show up for the job.
Yet coastal elites, from their high-rise offices and gated communities, scoff, “If we don’t allow illegal immigrants
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that every American should be frightened because President Donald Trump did not “respect our Constitution.”
Sanders said, “Look, you know, the guys who wrote the Constitution back in the 1790s when nobody’s fools, what they wanted to do is have a separation of powers between the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary so that one person could not assume enormous power. And what you are seeing right now is a president who is authoritarian. He just attacked the media the other day. I think he called CNN illegal because I gather that now and then, you criticize him.
When President Donald Trump signed an executive order to downsize the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), Kari Lake, a senior advisor at the agency, released a statement exposing alarming findings: “Massive national security violations, including spies and terrorists.” The White House also published an article titled “Voice of Radical America,” highlighting a particularly egregious case: “In May 2019, Voice of America fired reporters for their roles in canceling a broadcast midstream after pressure from the Chinese government.” I was at the heart of that incident.
A coalition of state attorneys general is filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, urging the court to lift a nationwide restraining order that is “preventing” the “immediate deportation” of "Tren de Aragua gang members."
Leading the effort are Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who joined 24 other states after a judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order Saturday evening temporarily halting the deportations of members of the Venezuelan gang. The order came as the aircraft carrying the gang members was airborne.
California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara is facing criticism over his trip to Bermuda during efforts to recover from the Los Angeles County wildfires.
Lara’s trip meant he wasn’t available to testify March 12 in Sacramento at the first state Senate hearing on insurance after the wildfires. Two Department of Insurance officials testified on his behalf, according to the San Joaquin Valley Sun.
"I think most Californians, especially those who are currently trying to recover from the tragedies in Los Angeles, would hope the insurance commissioner would be here at home helping them recover from those tragedies, not off on a junket in Bermuda,"
The House Subcommittee for the Department of Government Efficiency is calling the leadership of National Public Radio, a news operations that receives taxpayer funding, to testify before Congress, it said Wednesday.
The House subcommittee was created to operate similarly to DOGE, the Trump Administration's federal effort to cut waste, fraud and abuse in the government. NPR is under scrutiny for its left-leaning political coverage while receiving taxpayer funding.
The hearing is expected March 26, and the leadership of the Public Broadcasting System has also been asked to testify.
“I want to hear why NPR and PBS think they should ever again receive a single cent from the American taxpayer,”
Ben & Jerry's has said its chief executive, David Stever, was being removed by its parent company, Unilever, in a growing dispute over the ice cream company's political activism.
The allegation was part of a legal case filed in a US court by Ben & Jerry's that says Unilever violated a merger agreement by trying to silence its "social mission".
Unilever did not immediately reply to a request for comment from BBC News.
It comes a month after the ice cream company accused Unilever of demanding that it stops publicly criticising US President Donald Trump.
"Unilever has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel, including CEO David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever's
An Obama-appointed judge who is blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to shut down the the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has donated thousands of dollars to Democrats, served as a leader in his local Democratic Party organization, and has a history of stonewalling President Donald Trump’s border security efforts.
U.S. District Court Judge Theodore David Chuang of Maryland ruled this week that the Trump administration’s attempt to shutdown USAID through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was unconstitutional, ordering Elon Musk and DOGE officials to reinstate employee access to the email and payment systems.
That ruling came just after the Obama-appointed judge issued a different decision hindering the Trump administration’s
A Biden-appointed federal judge cited the Broadway musical “Hamilton” in a Tuesday night filing blocking the Trump administration from implementing its de facto ban on transgender people serving in the military.
United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia Ana Reyes cited the musical — a favorite production among liberals — in her Tuesday night ruling to assert that “all people are created equal” instead of referencing the Declaration of Independence’s famous “all men are created equal” line. Former President Joe Biden appointed Reyes to her spot on the bench in February 2023.

Several days ago, invoking the Alien Enemies Act (“AEA”), President Trump ordered that “250 Tren de Aragua members and 23 MS-13 members wanted for alleged crimes in El Salvador” be deported. The woke left, led by the Soros minions, immediately asked Judge James Boasberg of the US District Court in DC to stop it—and amazingly, he agreed via minimalist “minute orders.” Boasberg ignored Trump’s findings and ordered that the planes carrying the deportees (already en route to El Salvador) return to the US. This grotesquely wrong decision justifies impeachment.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has provided the Department of Justice with a one-day extension to answer his questions regarding Saturday’s deportation flights to El Salvador. The judge issued a ruling to block the deportations while the flights were in the air.
Boasberg requested answers to his questions about the timing of the deportation flights and custody handover of deportees. The Trump administration argued the “aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory” when the ruling was made. The Department of Justice pushed back on Boasberg’s request Wednesday, prompting the judge to warn of “consequences” if his questions are not answered.

President Trump has fired both of the Federal Trade Commission’s Democratic members, setting up a legal battle that will have major implications for a key bipartisan regulatory agency traditionally seen as independent from the executive branch.
The White House informed Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter of their dismissals on Tuesday, the Democrats confirmed in separate X posts. Both Bedoya and Slaughter called their firings “illegal” and vowed to challenge Trump in court.
“The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple,” said Bedoya.
Slaughter said Trump’s decision violated “the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent.”
Amusing, certainly. A threat to Chuck Schumer's leadership? Maaaybee.
It's no secret that Schumer has become a target for progressives in his own party, and for at least a few good reasons. Schumer led Democrats into a political box canyon and then yelled "Charge!" ... only to sound retreat less than a day later. And House Democrats have good reason to feel betrayed by Schumer, who essentially sawed off the limb on which they had climbed a few days earlier.
But how much does that matter in the Senate? Technically, not at all, but only in the short term, as Axios suggests:
The amount of time, money, effort, and violence being put into the campaign to demonize and destroy Elon Musk is increasing by the day.
It is so large that even I am getting flooded with emails, presumably due to appearing on some mailing list or another, encouraging me to join in the effort to destroy Tesla. I just got a press release from an organization promoting a "Tesla Takedown," bragging about how large and organized their "peaceful" efforts are to destroy Elon Musk.
The Trump administration has paused $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania over the university’s insistence on allowing men to compete in women’s sports.
The action follows President Donald Trump’s executive order issued last month that bars federally funded institutions from allowing male athletes to compete against women and threatens to rescind funding from any institution that refuses to comply.
The funding pause is a “proactive punishment” from President Trump that pulls back discretionary funding from the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services, a senior administration official told Fox Business on Wednesday.

Washington — Confronted with huge cuts to its funding, Columbia University’s leaders face a grim decision: They can yield to the Trump administration’s demands over allegations of antisemitism — ceding extraordinary control to the federal government — or they can fight back, potentially risking even more debilitating cuts in an escalating clash. However it responds, Columbia carries tremendous weight. It’s the first school to face such aggressive intervention from the Trump administration, but dozens of others have been put on notice they’re next if they defy the president’s orders on issues around pro-Palestinian activism, diversity programs or transgender women in girl’s sports.
Your hard-earned tax dollars don’t just fund the salaries of federal bureaucrats, they also support public-sector unions who negotiate sweetheart deals between the bureaucrats and management. Federal bureaucrats feverishly renegotiated those deals just before President Donald Trump entered office, attempting to block his reforms.
Now, the Trump administration is demanding that each agency provide an accounting of just how much money it spent negotiating collective bargaining agreements with unions.
The Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal government’s workforce, sent a memo Monday to agencies across the bureaucracy, demanding and account of the dollars and cents taxpayers spent for collective bargaining agreements.
Elon Musk is making his presence felt in the Trump administration as an adviser and de facto leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, but the billionaire’s Starlink system is also leaving a growing mark on the federal government.
The New York Times reports that Starlink has been installed in the White House to boost the availability of internet throughout the complex. This installation is the latest example of the government adopting Starlink, as its use has been considered across multiple agencies. Starlink is a satellite internet service that has been frequently used in places where internet service can be difficult to access, such as remote countries or war zones.
In D.C., DOGE is the talk of the town. Whether it’s conservatives applauding every move Elon Musk’s governmental organization makes or bureaucrats crying about having to account for their time at work, everybody can’t stop talking about DOGE.

A federal judge rejected the Trump administration’s requests to dismiss or move to Louisiana Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil’s case. Instead, the case will be transferred to New Jersey.
Manhattan-based U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman said he did not have jurisdiction because Khalil was in New Jersey when his lawyers first challenged his case. Justice Department attorneys argued the case should be transferred to Louisiana, and Khalil’s attorneys wanted it litigated in New York.
Furman retained his pause on Khalil’s deportation, which can be overruled by the New Jersey federal judge.
President Donald Trump revealed his selections for advisory boards of the nation’s military academies in a post on Truth Social on Monday.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) celebrated Tesla‘s declining stock while speaking to a Wisconsin crowd on Tuesday.

Less salacious but ultimately more momentous are the changes the new administration is pursuing against another set of acronyms, the IGs, or inspectors general — the officials at the forefront of combating waste, fraud, and abuse.

Vice President JD Vance may be the best thing to happen to the Republican Party since, well, his current boss. He's clearly an up-and-comer; young, bright, thinks on his feet, has a compelling back story and a beautiful family. Best of all, he doesn't take any guff from the legacy media - or anyone else. Now the Republicans are giving him a significant role in the 2026 mid-terms. That's unusual, for a vice president to be this ingrained in the party during a mid-term election, but if there's one thing the Trump/Vance administration has done, it's to upset a lot of the old norms.

What do federal employees talk about around the proverbial watercooler? As it turns out, the overwhelming answer is: liberal politics. And that has ramifications for all Americans.
The ideal of a nonpartisan federal workforce is foundational to U.S. government operations and the law of the land for more than 140 years. Most federal employees are career staff hired on a nonpartisan basis, retaining their positions across administrations to gain experience and expertise. In return, they set aside personal politics and impartially implement elected officials’ policies, no matter their personal preferences.
At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work. But past and new research indicates a significant partisan lean

The Department of Education has given nearly $101 million in grants to train training K-12 social workers in leftist ideology, an education watchdog has found.
Parents Defending Education unveiled its “GrantEd – Social Work” report on Wednesday, highlighting how universities taking federal dollars for their social work programs have embedded “social justice” into their curriculum. Since 2021, the Department of Education has given at least $100,964,880 in grants to 25 universities ostensibly for their “mental health” programs. Parents Defending Education said that the money is going to back programs that promote radical leftist ideology and seek to train leftist activists.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday directing all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices to be removed from the foreign service.

“Over the last 4 years, divisive and discriminatory policies were systematically embedded into every part of the Federal Government, including hiring processes and employee performance evaluations in the Foreign Service,” the executive order said. “It is the policy of the Federal Government that hiring in

Several days back, when one of the near-countless cases of judicial overreach in which partisan Democrat operatives in black robes issued absurd orders delaying presidential orders involving immigration issues or spending reforms or other changes well within the sole purview of the executive branch made its way to the Supreme Court for review, this column discussed a piece by the Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson that shredded the Supreme Court’s Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett for siding with the Democrats.
After noting that for procedural reasons the specific case in question would likely still come out all right, I joined Davidson’s rejection of Roberts and Barrett.
Police in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, are searching for a man who appears to have approached at least two properties with Trump flags or banners outside, spitting on at least one of their front doors.
On Friday morning, the unidentified man allegedly walked up to a home, opened what seemed to be a screen door, and then spit on the second interior door, according to a report from CBS News.
Aspinwall Police Chief David Nemec said that the man “must have been parked around the corner because we didn’t get to see a car or anything like that.”
Democrats are relying on a recent memo from the Government Accountability Office to argue that President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans can't pass a bill repealing a Biden-era waiver allowing California to mandate electric vehicles in the state. But legal experts say the memo—whose authors include a prominent DEI activist—isn't legally binding and relies on dubious reasoning.
The Government Accountability Office—which conducts audits and analyses for Congress but has minimal legislative authority—published the memo earlier this month just two weeks after Democratic senators Adam Schiff (Calif.), Alex Padilla (Calif.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) asked it to investigate the issue.
Leftist Trump haters intent on attacking the president and Elon Musk’s Tesla have launched the “DOGEQUEST” website targeting the owners of Tesla EVs. The website includes the personal details of Tesla owners across the country and features a molotov cocktail cursor icon. The clear implication is that Tesla owners will be the next target of domestic terrorism rapidly escalating across the country.
404 Media reports that a website titled “DOGEQUEST” has published on a searchable map the alleged names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners throughout the United States. The site claims it will remove an individual’s data if they can prove they have sold their Tesla vehicle.
Laura Loomer has identified the reporter who hit President Donald Trump in the face with a boom mic last week as newly appointed NPR White House Correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben. According to Loomer’s post, Kurtzleben is a raging Trump hater and LGBTQ advocate.

Somehow, Tim Walz just keeps getting weirder. Since faceplanting as Kamala Harris' running mate, the Minnesota governor has been holding rallies and making the media rounds in a desperate attempt to boost his stock for a 2028 presidential run. How's that going? Not well, Bob. (Video) It's as if Walz was created in a lab by new DNC Vice Chair David Hogg to be the worst politician imaginable. With Harris still out there, presumably about to run for Governor of California, I understand that's a bold statement. She's a hard one to top, and maybe she'll hold onto the crown, but man is Walz an odd fellow who seemingly
A former postal worker from Washington, D.C., has been found guilty of stealing more than $1.6 million in U.S. Treasury and private party checks to fund an expensive lifestyle.
Hachikosela Muchimba, 44, embezzled the funds between December 2020 and March 2023 by depositing checks that had been altered into bank accounts he controlled, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
Bank surveillance footage showed Muchimba conducting deposits and withdrawals with stolen funds, which he later spent on luxury hotels, international travel, and gentlemen’s clubs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
“According to court documents, between December 2020 and March 2023, Muchimba was an employee of

A New Jersey mayor accused of drunk driving allegedly drove her toddler home from day care on St. Patrick’s Day, nearly crashing on the road only days after resigning from her job with another town. Lumberton Township leader Gina LaPlaca was arrested for her alleged booze-induced stunt on March 17 after she picked up her 2-year-old son from day care. The 45-year-old Democrat was allegedly captured on video by another driver swerving all over the road, nearly crashing into a utility pole before the footage was shared with police, WPVI reported, citing charging documents.
A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.
In a scathing ruling, US District Judge Ana Reyes said the administration cannot enforce the ban — which was set to take effect later this month.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mocked so-called “greedy” Americans for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money and wanting less government control over their lives.
During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”

President Donald Trump has continued his campaign to shut down government agencies he deems 'a waste of taxpayer money', this time targeting the nation's publicly funded broadcasters. In a sweeping move earlier this week, Trump ordered the closure of Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Asia (RFA), and Radio Free Europe (RFE), citing the need to reduce the federal bureaucracy and eliminate 'waste, fraud, and abuse'.
Americans have shown a high-degree of support for the cuts being made to the federal bureaucracy and spending by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Why? A majority across the country believe the government wastes vast amounts of their tax money, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
For the March online national I&I/TIPP Poll, voters were asked the following question: “What percentage of your tax dollars do you believe is wasted by the federal government?” The possible responses included: “Less than 10%,” “10%-25%,” “26%-50%,” “51%-75%,” “More than 75%,” and “Not sure.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is learning how to troll and mock the media. He’s learning from the best, and what he said about a recession didn’t disappoint. Mr. Bessent was on "Meet the Press" with host Kristen Welker this week about guaranteeing there wouldn’t be a recession, which Bessent found ludicrous. No one knows, and it’s irresponsible to give any direct answer to that effect. (Video)
“It was a silly question,” he told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo. “I can't guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee that the journalist who asked me the question
In the moral battle between President Donald Trump and the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, the media have chosen a side. The foreign gangsters are less morally questionable than the president.
The Trump administration sent a plane stuffed with alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador, which is apparently more of a crime than whatever the gangsters did in America.
There are legal issues here. An Obama-appointed federal judge tried to order Trump not to send the plane. The administration didn’t release their names or their offenses, so some may not be gangsters. The flight can be debated. But in today’s media, the first objective
A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly making sickening threats to President Trump — even challenging him to “fight me naked to the death,” according to authorities.
Kendal Aaron Todd, 42, was busted and charged on Monday in St. Lucie County after he posted the sickening threats to kill the commander in chief on social media. (Photo)
In a rambling 80-second clip, Todd railed against Trump and declared himself US president.
“Because of Donald Trump, every single person in the world is cursed,” Todd said. “Donald Trump is the Antichrist.”
An illegal immigrant who garnered media fame during President Trump's first term by taking up sanctuary inside the basement of a Denver church has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Jeanette Vizguerra was detained by officials outside Target, where she was working just outside of Denver.
Jordan Garcia, an immigrant-rights advocate, claims the illegal alien was told by one ICE agent, "We finally got you."
A timeline put together by the New York Times shows that Vizguerra illegally entered the United States in 1997 and didn't pop up on law enforcement radar until 2009 when a traffic stop yielded evidence that she had used a fake Social Security card.
Just when we assume things couldn't get worse, along comes Worse to remind us that we should be careful about assuming. Case in point: On Tuesday, we learned that a shadowy group is circulating a terrorist how-to guide among students. American college students, at Columbia University and, presumably, other institutions as well. This little blood-red guide, we note, was produced by a group that celebrated the Hamas Oct. 7th attacks on Israel. It contains tips like:

As RedState reported earlier, Vice President JD Vance gave a speech Tuesday at the American Dynamism Summit on artificial intelligence and how the Trump administration feels like U.S. dominance in AI coupled with good old-fashioned American labor offered a best-of-both-worlds scenario to help usher forth what he called the "great American manufacturing comeback." "...we're going to slash regulations, we're going to reduce the cost of energy so that you can build, build, build," Vance stated. "Our goal is to incentivize investment in our own borders, in our own businesses, our own workers, and our own innovation."
"We want [people] investing and building right here in the United States of America,"

Tesla Stock Prices replies
Elon Musk brutally reminded Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of his current status after the failed vice presidential candidate mocked Tesla over falling stock prices. Walz, in case you haven't noticed, has been taking weird jabs at the current administration for weeks now as he continues to struggle to cope with his and Kamala Harris' embarrassing defeat back in November.
He has insisted that the country is "being stolen by fascists and Nazis," falsely accused Musk of giving a Nazi salute, and even suggested he'd like to fight MAGA supporters.
Walz continued his Elon Derangement Syndrome with a petulant rant Tuesday night
Elon Musk appeared on the Sean Hannity show tonight and confirmed that he could have returned the stranded astronauts before today and that SpaceX made the offer to the Biden administration but was turned down for reasons which were political.
This is nothing short of amazing. The people in the Biden administration were so petty that they put their political ambitions ahead of the lives of these people. How is this not already a national scandal?
In the clip below, Sean Hannity prefaces his question by stressing that this should not be a moment for politics, but that he wants clarification.
President Donald Trump ordered the release of approximately 1,123 PDF files of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a long-standing promise to declassify all remaining records.
These files, part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection, are accessible online at the National Archives (JFK Release 2025) or in person at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland.
Internet sleuths and researchers have been combing through these files, uncovering what they believe are significant revelations.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown.
Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill.
“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”
President Trump’s transportation chief demanded the MTA fork over data on plants to tackle subway crime and safety — or else risk losing federal funding, a letter obtained by The Post shows.
The nation’s largest transit agency needs to show it’s properly using federal tax dollars to ensure a crime-free commute, said US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
“The trend of violent crime, homelessness, and other threats to public safety on one of our nation’s most prominent metro systems is unacceptable,” he said in a statement. “After years of soft-on-crime policies, our Department is stepping in to restore order.”
A documentary film released this weekend in more than 100 movie theaters across America explores the processes by which antisemitism exploded across university campuses, in street demonstrations and on social media following the Hamas-led atrocities in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. It shows how throughout this vast uprising, Hamas have been celebrated as freedom fighters rather than terrorists. The film's director, Wendy Sachs, has also noted that this tsunami of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred wasn't a spontaneous eruption of feeling. It was orchestrated.
If you're a regular reader, some of this will be familiar territory. Still, it's interesting to see the data being presented in this discussion by David Shor. Shor is a progressive data analyst who first came to my attention when he got canceled by progressives for posting a tweet which made the case that race riots were counterproductive. This wasn't even Shor's own data but it didn't matter. Days after the death of George Floyd this was cause for outrage. If people were rioting, Democrats were supposed to support that and anyone who said otherwise was racist. You can read more about that incident here.
But since then,
