National media coverage of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate campaign has led to direct confrontations with journalists, including the removal of an Atlantic reporter from a rally and a call to Capitol Police over a CNN reporter’s visit to a campaign office.
Semafor shared that security personnel directed Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey to leave a campaign rally for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas on Monday. The outlet wrote that Godfrey has reported on Crockett in depth and that the coverage appeared to “frustrate” the congresswoman. Crockett had previously agreed to participate in a profile with the reporter last year, but later informed her that she was “shutting down

The Democrats’ attempt to imprison Donald Trump, their number one political opponent over the last decade, is unprecedented in American history and is more redolent of a banana republic than the American political tradition. Democrats in New York and Georgia largely did their party’s dirty work, charging Trump under state laws.
Democrats maintained the pretense that these bogus prosecutions were independent of the Biden administration, but we now know that wasn’t true. The effort to end Trump’s political career through farcical criminal charges was orchestrated from the top.

I've got good news and bad news about AI. The good news is that the dreaded "Skynet" takeover of our nuclear weapons systems isn't going to happen soon. The bad news is that if it ever does give us a Terminator scenario, we're toast.
A war game exercise carried out by Kenneth Payne at King’s College London, using three teams running simulations on Chat GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 3 Flash. The teams "played 21 war games against each other over 329 turns," according to Implicator.AI's Marcus Schuler. "They wrote roughly 780,000 words explaining why they did what they did," he noted.

As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on Wednesday’s Today in reacting to President Trump’s State of the Union address. While NBC was far from perfect, they were devoid of the negative descriptors and bellyaching we usually see elsewhere at ABC and, as we’ll see in a future post, CBS.

Donald Trump has had, without question, a first fourteenish months in office that is hard to top in any other administration of my lifetime in accomplishments. And to be fair, it would also be correct to say that no president has stirred up more angst and controversy among his detractors than any other administration in a similar time period.
After last week's press conference at the White House a day after the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision on the tariffs case, Donald Trump's contempt for the majority opinion was so palpable that one of the questions going into last night's State of the Union was how soon and how hard

Policies? Did Donald Trump discuss policies last night, or just expose Democrats as radicals?
The correct answer is ... yes. Trump can do a lot in two hours, especially when his political opponents keep slipping on all of the banana peels he drops. Trump spent more than twenty minutes of the speech detailing his economic agenda and proposing new efforts to reduce prices and provide growth. That came just before Trump set his trap on immigration, and before Democrats stumbled into another on crime.
CNN polled viewers who watched the marathon event, and found that Trump made solid gains on the policy front:

Federal agents executed search warrants Wednesday at the headquarters of the Los Angeles Unified School District and the home of Superintendent Albert Carvalho, significantly escalating the Trump administration’s fight against the nation’s second-largest school district.
The FBI conducted the raids on the 24th floor of LAUSD’s headquarters and Carvalho’s home in LA’s San Pedro neighborhood, a vibrant waterfront area, according to Fox 11. The nature of the investigation is currently unclear. LAUSD and Carvalho have yet to address the situation.
FBI agents could be seen going in and out of Carvalho’s home carrying items in boxes. Carvalho has been LAUSD superintendent since 2022 and was re-appointed to the role this past September.

What’s fresh in our minds today — and what will be top-of-mind tomorrow, next week, next month, and first Tuesday of November — will almost certainly all differ. That’s why snapshot poll numbers tend to be exaggerated, misleading, and unhelpful: Until the dust settles, the data just isn’t relevant.
Instead of focusing on polls, campaigns should focus on creating magical moments that wormhole into our psyche — those indelible images that linger forever. And in the State of the Union, at the very top of that list: For voters, that’s the long-term takeaway: Republicans stood for American citizens, whereas Democrats stood for illegal immigrants — and absolutely nothing else.

A sprawling Chinese influence operation — accidentally revealed by a Chinese law enforcement official’s use of ChatGPT — focused on intimidating Chinese dissidents abroad, including by impersonating US immigration officials, according to a new report from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI.
The Chinese law enforcement official used ChatGPT like a diary to document the alleged covert campaign of suppression, OpenAI said. In one instance, Chinese operators allegedly disguised themselves as US immigration officials to warn a US-based Chinese dissident that their public statements had supposedly broken the law, according to the ChatGPT user. In another case, they describe an effort to use forged documents from a US county court.

It’s no secret that in today’s Hollywood, artistic risk-taking often comes second to woke ideological conformity. Censorship, virtue signaling, and overprescribed outrage have become show-business-as-usual. Studios trip over themselves to inject far-left political messaging into nearly every script, award shows have become lectures, and entire careers can be derailed by a single viral moment that stokes a campaign of indignation. The industry’s obsession has created a climate where self-censorship is the norm and challenging the narrative is a career hazard.

President Trump's State of the Union speech Tuesday night got extra heated when he relentlessly called out Democrats for supporting sanctuary city policies and refusing to stand for the American people over criminal illegal aliens.
Literally, refusing to stand.
The President challenged Democrats to affirm their support for the American people over illegal immigrants. And they just couldn't do it.
"I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle," he said, glaring at the Democrat side of the room. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support."
The principle?

For decades, we have been told that America needs foreign labor to "do the jobs Americans won't do." For Democrats and the left, that usually translates to illegal immigrants. But in the wake of President Donald Trump's closing of the southern border and the deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, it turns out that there are plenty of jobs that Americans are willing to do, and a new survey seems to be bearing that out in at least one state. The new survey by the Federal Reserve Bank in Texas shows that many companies in the Lone Star State are reducing their dependence on foreign labor.
