President Trump has fired off a clear demand: the Smithsonian should stop celebrating baffling modernist art and start honoring George Washington the way Americans actually deserve. He wants an 11-foot Washington statue moved into the National Museum of American History for Constitution Day and a massive 30-foot “Washington Colossus” put where the so-called “Infinity” sculpture […] More

Iran just took to social media to warn South Korea in Korean: don’t even think about sending ships or planes into the Strait of Hormuz. The message came from Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it’s the latest salvo in a wider confrontation that already has global trade and security on […] More

President Donald Trump raised eyebrows at the GOP midterm convention when he promised a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” for every adult American if Republicans win both chambers of Congress. The pledge is bold, simple, and built for social media. It also collides with the rules of budgeting, basic math, and the real world of Washington. That […] More

An F‑16 from NORAD scrambled Saturday morning to intercept a general‑aviation aircraft that strayed into the restricted airspace around Camp David while President Trump was at the presidential retreat. The jets fired flares to get the pilot’s attention, escorted the plane out of the area, and the incident left neighbors seeing — and hearing — […] More

Sean Hannity’s recent monologue wasn’t a throwaway cable rant. He told viewers the left has gone “radical” and that, in his view, the stakes for the country are higher than ever — a phrase he keeps repeating because he thinks Americans are finally waking up to what life looked like under the Biden administration and […] More

The Grand Canyon is famous for its beauty, not for failures of federal infrastructure. Yet a powerful flash flood ripped through Bright Angel Canyon over the weekend of Aug. 29 and left a mess that tourists, local businesses and park staff will worry about for months. The immediate damage and the unfolding response from the […] More

Axios’s new reporting says House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is facing real anger inside his own party. Progressive House candidates and some members of the progressive wing are openly sour on his leadership. That’s the big development here — not old rumors, not wishful thinking — Axios gathered fresh sourcing and quotes showing a brewing […] More

A new poll and an uncomfortable on‑camera moment have exposed something every voter should notice: a large share of surveyed Democratic voters reacted positively to hypothetical headlines in which President Trump is removed from office — even by a U.S. military takeover — and the party’s own politicians are not eager to explain themselves. The […] More

Wisconsin has quietly joined a high‑stakes legal fight over the federal “public charge” rule. The state’s attorney general signed on to a multistate lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s new rule that would let immigration officers consider a wider range of public benefits when deciding green card applications. The rule is set to take […] More

Mayor Zohran Mamdani rolled out a big promise this week: move more than 10,000 children off the city’s Child Care Assistance Program waitlist and expand access to “free” childcare as part of his 2-K and universal childcare push. It sounds good on a campaign sign. It also sounds expensive, vague, and very familiar to anyone […] More

The Kennedy Center is suddenly at the center of a legal and political flashpoint — and a federal judge just put a short legal leash on anyone thinking they can tear it down overnight. The recent minute order from the court and the now-famous photos of President Donald Trump reviewing material labeled “DEMOLISHED” have kicked […] More

The BBC this week aired a hard‑hitting investigative documentary that brings fresh on‑camera allegations against actor and musician Jared Leto. Ten women are reported to have spoken to the film, and several describe encounters in the 2000s and 2010s that they say were inappropriate or illegal. Leto’s representatives have denied the claims. This development is […] More

Vice President JD Vance gave North Carolina voters a moment to laugh — and his opponents a clip to share. While stumping for Senate candidate Michael Whatley in Greensboro, Vance mispronounced “far-left” as the now-famous “fart left,” then immediately corrected himself onstage and pointed a finger at the “fake news.” The short, viral moment tells […] More

A short video clip of Hope Walz — the adult daughter of Governor Tim Walz — erupted across social media this week. In the excerpt, she lashes out at Minnesota Republicans, calls their attachment to the old state flag “racist,” and peppers her remarks with profanity. Conservatives quickly amplified the clip. The result: another culture-war […] More

Something very strange and very wrong happened on an American Airlines flight heading from Baltimore to Miami. A passenger in row 9 reportedly took off her clothes and acted indecently in front of other travelers. The crew logged the trouble and police were waiting when the plane landed. Now the FBI is involved. What happened […] More

The new wrinkle in Alaska’s messy Senate fight is not another TV ad — it’s a formal FEC complaint. Americans for Public Trust has asked federal regulators to open an enforcement matter, saying there was illegal coordination between the so‑called “Decoy Dan” campaign and the liberal outside group 907 Initiative. If true, this could turn […] More

President Trump put a spotlight on energy and the war in Ukraine this week when he blasted a Truth Social post about Russia’s collapsing diesel industry and, reporters say, privately urged President Zelenskyy to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. That combination — a public claim that Russia “lost control” of diesel production and a […] More

Russia is about to hold State Duma “elections” on September 18–20, and make no mistake: this is a three‑day display, not a real vote. The Kremlin has stacked the deck, kicked real opposition off the ballot, and even plans to drag occupied Ukrainian territories into the count. Call it what it is — a Potemkin […] More

The big news this week is simple and sharp: the Solicitor General for President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to put the expanded SAVE system back to work. SAVE — the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program — was overhauled by the administration so states could vet voter rolls for potential noncitizen registrants. A […] More

Leaked audio this week captured Independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn apparently mocking rural Trump voters, and the fallout has been loud and fast. The clip and Osborn’s own on‑air acknowledgement have given Republicans a fresh line of attack in the Nebraska Senate race. Then a far‑left streamer jumped in to praise the remarks, handing the […] More

Fred Clark, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Wisconsin’s 7th District, has put a flashing neon sign over his campaign priorities: dramatically expand access to abortion drugs, repeal the Hyde Amendment, push the Women’s Health Protection Act, and condition federal aid on states “guaranteeing medically indicated care” for pregnant people. That last line is the […] More
