Judge Tanya Chutkan, tasked with presiding over some of the cases of January 6 defendants, handed her latest blow to a capitol rioter on Tuesday, giving the defendant 14 days in jail. (Snip) Stacey Stephens, a 57-year-old, is one of more than 1,146 people who were charged concerning their presence at the grounds that day. Stephens, who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, entering or remaining on restricted grounds and demonstrating in a Capitol building, was charged last August after the FBI interviewed Stephens and told agents that she and her mother, Linda Carpenter, went to see then-President Trump speak on

Dozens of Stars of David have been painted on the walls of Jewish homes and businesses across Paris in a "despicable and intolerable Kristallnacht-style attack linked to the Israel-Hamas War. Police in the French capital say the 60 anti-Semitic messages appeared in the early hours of this morning. The chilling attacks resemble those left on Jewish properties on Kristallnacht – the Night of Broken Glass – in Nazi Germany in November 1938 by paramilitaries marking out buildings which were later attacked in a prelude to the Holocaust. Carine Petit, Mayor of the 14th arrondissement, said they were ‘intolerable acts’ which

Democratic Rep. André Carson, Ind., called fellow Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer, N.J., a "coward," "punk" and "gangster" for his criticism against lawmakers who voted against a resolution to condemn Hamas and support Israel. Carson was one of 16 lawmakers who voted either "no" or "present" on the resolution following the deadly attack against Israel by Hamas on Oct. 7. Gottheimer later called out the Democratic members who refused to condemn Hamas brutality as "despicable." "Last night, 15 of my Democratic colleagues voted AGAINST standing with our ally Israel and condemning Hamas terrorists who brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped babies, children

Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips' expected decision to launch a long shot Democratic primary challenge against President Joe Biden on Friday has upset several major non-white members of the party who think him starting a campaign by filing for the New Hampshire primary will be emblematic of what they argued was his "disregard" for Democrats' emphasis on the South and diverse voters. "He's skipping a very diverse state to go to a non-diverse state," one senior Black Democrat, who requested anonymity to speak candidly, told ABC News, adding, "I think that is a telltale sign of where your values are."

NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams made a stunning announcement Tuesday on the city's asylum seeker crisis housing crunch. He said it is so severe he's actively planning for the day migrants will have to sleep outside. The mayor did not utter the words "asylum seekers will be sleeping in Central Park," but because the city has had to close a number of shelters in recent weeks because they did not meet the fire code, he said he's now looking for large outdoor spaces where asylum seekers can live. "I don't know how to get this any clearer. When you are

ZURICH - Switzerland looked set to shift to the right in national elections on Sunday, as concerns about immigration trumped fears about climate change and melting glaciers, though the vote is unlikely to change the make-up of the Swiss government. The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), Switzerland's biggest political party, increased its share of the vote to 29%, 3.4 percentage points higher than the last election in 2019, according to the final projection by Swiss broadcaster SRF. The party campaigned on a platform of preventing the country's population - currently at 8.7 million people - exceeding 10 million. "We have problems with immigration

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told his staffers Thursday night that he knew many were shaken professionally and personally by the Israel-Hamas war — a message he sent amid unhappiness among some Muslim and Arab employees over how the U.S. is approaching the crisis. Blinken’s note to staff wasn’t a response to reports of the frustrations, a person familiar with the issue said. He had planned to write to department employees about the Middle East crisis but wanted to wait until he returned from a visit to the region, said the person, who was granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive

As the Israel-Hamas War rages and the crisis in Gaza deepens, Taher Herzallah said he has exchanged frantic messages on social media with his family members who are trapped in Gaza. Their description of the situation is grim. He said they’ve told him they have no food, electricity, water or fuel. (Snip) Herzallah said his concerns for his family thousands of miles away have also been compounded by a growing fear for the safety of his wife and children here in the US, as reports of attacks against people perceived to be Muslim or Palestinian surface across the country.
