Six so-called âRepublicansâ voted Wednesday alongside Democrats to advance legislation that would extend Temporary Protected Status for Haitian migrants despite the Trump administrationâs efforts to end the widely exploited program.
Republican Reps. Don Bacon (Neb.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Penn.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Maria Elvira Salazar (Fla.), Carlos Gimenez (Fla.) and Nicole Malliotakis (N.Y.) voted alongside Democrats to pass Democrat Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressleyâs discharge petition that would extend TPS for Haitians until April of 2029.Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) told Newsweek she voted to extend TPS for Haitians because she thinks of America as an economic opportunity zone.

One of the fundamental tenets of Christianity is that Jesus is the Son of God and that he is the Messiah (or Christ) â Godâs chosen deliverer for His people. Jesusâ role as the Messiah fulfilled Godâs promises of redemption.
âIn the Bible, the Messiah is the anointed king through whom God establishes his rule over the world,â explains the Lexham Theological Wordbook. (Snip) Thereâs apparently still some confusion about Jesusâ Messianic role â that is, if you get your theology from The View. Joy Behar, that brilliant theological mind, said something that was as ignorant as it was blasphemous.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is widely known as a liberal jurist who can reliably be expected to vote with her leftist colleagues, Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, on virtually every issue, as the three mostly march in lockstep. Ketanji Brown Jackson, in particular, seems to decide cases based on her own personal opinion, not relying too much on that pesky old Constitution.
But now Sotomayor can add a new adjective to her profile: âobnoxious.â
The Obama-appointed jurist took the unusual step of making a personal attack on a fellow justice, Brett Kavanaugh, at an appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law on April 7.

The same eagle-eyed journalists who were gobsmacked â gobsmacked, I say! â to discover that Joe Bidenâs brain was AWOL are now feigning disbelief over the Eric Swalwell sexual assault allegations. Who knew this young, promising, handsome politician, who was elected to Congress in his early 30s and was poised to become Californiaâs next governor, had such a dark side?
Well, apparently everyone: If true, it sets a peculiar timeline: Swalwell joined Congress in 2013. For over a dozen years, he was a powerful member of the political elite. A popular presence on cable TV shows, Swalwell always made time for the mainstream media.

On Thursdayâs broadcast of âCBS Mornings,â New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) said that democratic socialism âis a politics that can flourish anywhereâ and at first, he âwas told that you could only be a Democratic socialist in Northwest Queens. Then I became the Mayor. Now the next question is the state. Then itâll be â the next question will be the country.â
Co-host Vladimir Duthiers asked, âAfter your campaign win, there were a lot of questions about whether Democrats across the country could have similar success. Do you think itâs possible a democratic socialist platform can translate into something thatâs electorally viable in a statewide election or a national

Thereâs a MeToo reckoning happening on the Hill, and itâs going to shake up both parties, honestly. For now, Democrats are left taking it on the chin as former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) steps back from public life in disgrace. The California liberal, who was leading in Californiaâs gubernatorial race, saw his career destroyed in less than 72 hours after multiple sexual misconduct and rape allegations derailed his campaign. He withdrew from the governorâs race and later resigned. His resignation came hours after another accuser claimed the former congressman had violently raped her in 2018. This follows a previous allegation by a former staffer in 2019.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is handing out $500 vouchers to migrants so they can enjoy haircuts, massages and other self-care benefits, despite the city's budget plunging nearly $50 million short.
Applicants who are 'low-income, isolated queer and trans migrants, asylum seekers and refugees' are prioritized for the 'wellness allowance.'
The initiative, called 'Boston Matters', was created by OUTnewcomers, a nonprofit that advocates for LGBTQ+ migrants in Boston alongside the Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement, Mass Daily News reported.
Applicants get $250 to $500 toward 'non-clinical care' completely funded by the city agency, which is run by the Democrat's administration.

Has there ever been an automobile feature as widely despised as the stop-start system that the Obama administration forced on the country? Unlikely. Which is why new federal action that kills the requirement is cause for celebration.
The âfeature,â which is the wrong word for whatâs truly a nuisance, automatically shuts off a carâs internal-combustion engine when it is idling at a red light or stuck in traffic. It restarts the engine when either the foot comes off the brake pedal or the accelerator is pressed. The action is jerky â it too often feels like a minor collision â distracting and tiring, producing a

We're not sure why CNN tapped David Hogg to appear on a program to discuss Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, but they did. Unfortunately for Hogg, Scott Jennings was also on the panel, and Jennings was ready to teach the Harvard graduate a thing or two about debate and foreign policy. (X) "Anybody with an elementary school understanding of foreign policy could have told you that the Strait of Hormuz was going to get shut down," Hogg said. "That is exactly what happened."
"And who controls it right now?" Jennings asked.
Instead of answering the question, Hogg deflected.
"Why are gas prices so high then?"
"Why were they high during Biden's administration?

SUPREME COURT ASSOCIATE JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS: The Constitution is the means of government; it is the Declaration that announces the ends of government. The Constitution achieves this purpose by protecting our natural rights and liberties from concentrated power and excessive democracy. Our Constitution creates a separation of powers and federalismâtruly for the first time in modern historyâto prevent the government from becoming so strong that it threatens our natural rights. Federalist No. 10 proposed the idea that the great threat to our rights comes from majority faction.Human history teaches us, alas, that numerical majorities frequently seek to control government, and use the state to violate the rights of the minority.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has, since her election as a âmoderateâ Democrat last fall, quickly proved that sheâs neither a moderate nor even remotely intelligent. If she were, sheâd never have agreed to sign Virginia onto the leftâs unconstitutional scheme to bypass the Electoral College.
With Spanbergerâs signature this week, Virginia became the 18th state to join the âNational Popular Vote Compact.â States that do so agree that, regardless of how their state votes for president, their Electoral College votes will go to the winner of the national popular vote.
If states
