Holdman, for whatever reason, voted against Redistricting in Indiana, in a District that I won by 39 points, which puts the United States Congress in jeopardy. Holdman and his RINO friends made Indiana, a State I love and have been very good to, the only State in the Country that essentially said they don't care about what happens in the United States Congress.
A new bill in New York State would impose a three-year moratorium on the issuance of new permits for data center construction throughout the state, while local regulators are given a chance to study the environmental and economic impacts the industry is having on communities. The bill's co-authors, State Senator Liz Krueger and Assemblymember Anna Kelles, have called the legislation the "strongest" introduced in the country.
Alan Cole, senior economist at the Tax Foundation, took that bet, telling WSJ reporter Richard Rubin how and why he dropped $342,195.63 into a prediction-market wager on the Kalshi platform. Cole said that he looked at the terms of the Kalshi wager and saw an opportunity, because he did not believe anything Musk would do would significantly curtail spending on interest on the national debt or entitlements like Social Security and Medicare, especially as America's population continued to age.
It was a dramatic turn from three years ago, when Trump reclaimed the White House with 48% of the Latino vote, the highest percentage ever captured by a Republican presidential candidate. A record number of California Latinos won legislative seats. The Hispanic Republican Club opened chapters in Ventura and Orange counties.
U.S. trade deficits are large and need to be brought down. Reducing U.S. fiscal deficits is important. At the same time, there is no doubt in the US ability to pay the world and therefore no crisis. The U.S. has run a trade deficit for most of the past 50 years, but has never had a fiscal crisis related to this imbalance because international investors have kept buying up U.S. assets throughout that period.
That beautiful ending to Trump's SOTU address reminds me why we can't have a second-, third-, or fourth- generation immigrant as president. Love for our country has to be in your genes.
We can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents' arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents' will. Among the anti-trans proposals Trump advocated for in his State of the Union address Tuesday night was a nationwide ban on schools acknowledging and supporting trans and gender diverse students' social transitions without notifying their parents.
Rep. Al Green held up a sign reading "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES" - a reference to a racist video Trump's account posted this month. Green refused to sit as Trump began his speech. Several Republicans verbally confronted Green, with a few trying to wrench the sign out of Green's hands. Eventually, Green was escorted out of the chamber by a House sergeant-at-arms staffer.
Before Trump said a single word, Press Watch's Dan Froomkin published a pre-emptive indictment of the press corps. Froomkin predicted journalists would pull out select quotes and proposals and lead with them, as if Trump had been articulate, would repeat his outrageous falsehoods without immediate and thorough rebuttal, and would treat the speech like it was normal.
FBI Director Kash Patel's Olympics schedule included two hockey games and hours of personal time with a spatter of actual meetings. The schedule was obtained and published Wednesday by The New York Times, and it comes as the FBI director faces intense scrutiny for his use of taxpayer-funded government resources for recreational activities.
Brown was sitting in a Toledo coffee shop, having just finished a roundtable discussion about rising health-care costs. A small group of Ohioans had expressed all manner of concerns about how they would afford their medical bills, co-pays, and prescriptions. This was the kind of event that Brown used to do a lot of before he departed the Senate after losing reelection in 2024.
Rather than listen to Donald Trump lie to the American people, I will be hearing from the people of my district," Clark said in a statement ahead of the speech. By the numbers: Axios counted 20 Senate Democrats and just under 110 House Democrats in the chamber at the start of Trump's speech. That is roughly half of each party's chamber Democratic caucus.
By a 6-3 vote in the landmark case Youngstown Steel & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1953), the Supreme Court disagreed. The majority opinion, written by Justice Hugo Black, held that Congress had refused to pass a statute that authorized the president to seize this kind of private property and, therefore, the president lacked legal authority for his actions.
I was looking for an adult to help protect me from what felt like monsters, only to find that the monster was him all along. Now I look to the government for help, and they are no better, gaslighting and manipulating victims, the same tactics as Jeffrey and Ghislaine Maxwell. The DOJ assures us that they are focused on our safety, but only to exploit us further.
This morning, in advance of a meeting between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, my colleague Hayden Field and I published a story about the Pentagon's hardball contract renegotiations with Anthropic. The stakes are higher than it should reasonably be, with the Pentagon continuing to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk.
I guarantee you that if I took a gun and I filed off the serial number of the gun and sent it to those states where that's illegal, they would want to prosecute me for that. Anybody can go online, they can obtain these pills, there is no human interaction at all. Some doctors somewhere is facilitating the distribution of these pills, it would be no different if they were sending fentanyl.
Not one more dime for the Department of Homeland Security until they start following the law in this country! Fereshteh came to this country over a decade ago coming to the United States from a refugee camp. She told me just off stage that this is the moment, this is reason that she came here to the U.S. to speak truth to power.
They're a little more complex, but they're actually probably better, leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before. Congressional action will not be necessary. It's already time-tested and approved, and as time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.
The constant kinds of yelling and screaming and, you know, holding up signs and doing all of these things – I don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat as the president, just don't do that. Respect the office.
Okay, he didn't say, number one, you can't read either. He's not saying that even though people are you know jumping to the conclusion that's what he meant. He never said that. He's saying he was challenged. He was average in terms of academics. And he wasn't saying, oh, all these people in the audience, you're assuming they're all Black in the audience and he's patronizing them.
