President Donald Trump said Friday night that the United States military could decide to relocate the troops that are currently stationed in Germany and move them to Poland. The president touted his friendship with the country's leader, President Karol Nawrocki, who assumed office last year. The Pentagon previously indicated that the U.S. would move 5,000 troops from Germany in the next six to 12 months. “Well, Poland would like that," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We have a great relationship with Poland. I have a great relationship with the president. I endorsed him,

President Donald Trump plans to dismiss U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Makary, whose firing was rumored by news organizations over the preceding week, has been a prominent public advocate of the administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda. A surgeon and researcher, he rose to public prominence as a critic of COVID-19 vaccine mandates under former President Joe Biden’s administration. The Senate later confirmed his nomination as commissioner in March 2025.

The Daily Signal’s Senior National Security and Legal Analyst Mehek Cooke warned after the May 5 primary vote that Ohio’s status as a Republican state is more fragile than many voters assume, saying that Democrats are organized and working to reclaim ground ahead of critical midterm elections. Appearing on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,” Cooke said that complacency among Republican voters could open the door for a shift back toward swing‑state status. Ohio is “a red state” but “could easily shift back to purple,” Cooke said, pointing to recent voting patterns and Democrat enthusiasm.

Undersecretary of Education Nicholas Kent slammed congressional Democrats for attempting to block a rule that would lower higher education costs for Americans. “Democrats are hypocrites,” Kent told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “For years, they have purported to care about student debt, but now they’ve reaffirmed what we’ve all been saying, which is, it was never about helping students, but rather about buying votes.” On April 30, the Department of Education announced a rule taking effect July 1 to put new caps on student loan borrowing. The rule implements changes passed in President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.”

An ugly internal power struggle in Iran is muddying mediation talks with the US, as pro-war and pro-deal factions battle it out over whether Tehran should ever surrender, sources familiar with mediation efforts tell The Post. Though Iran’s political elites — including its president, foreign minister and parliamentary speaker — have been at the center of efforts to hammer out peace terms, regional sources told The Post that it’s Iran’s military leadership that ultimately has the power to accept or reject any agreement. “One faction there right now is at its highest point ever in its history — the IRGC,” a source told The Post.

Minnesota House Republicans want help from U.S. congressional oversight leaders after Democrats on a state committee blocked an effort to subpoena U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar over communications tied to the Feeding Our Future fraud investigation. Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove and chair of the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Oversight Committee, announced Friday she has asked congressional leaders to assist in securing the records. Robbins sent letters to U.S. Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and U.S. Sen.

With Virginia’s new congressional declared unconstitutional, Democrats are well on the back foot in the fight to gain seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Things could go from bad to worse if Senator Eric Schmitt’s play to take out California’s radical map moves forward. Schmitt argues that’s independent commission was subverted by Governor Gavin Newsom and state Democrats, who employed their own favored mapmaker. That mapmaker drew California’s map to protect and expand a racial gerrymander, a practice which was recently struck down by a Supreme Court decision to reign in the VRA.

In the bare-knuckle brawl over redistricting ahead of the midterms, the Democratic leaders promised “maximum warfare” to secure an advantage over Republicans in the upcoming elections. The party came up short. “Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time,” Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries described his party’s redistricting mantra last month. But, now it is looking more and more like that war is lost. The Democrats’ effort to redraw maps in blue states to squeeze out more seats in the House of Representatives was dealt a major blow on Friday when the Supreme Court of Virginia declared their referendum on the commonwealth unconstitutional.

An earthquake occurred today in the Commonwealth of Virginia that was felt at the highest levels of power in the U.S. House of Representatives, particularly shaking the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries. On Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the unconstitutional push by the Democrat majority in the Virginia General Assembly. The Virginia high court voided the proposed constitutional amendment and “temporary” partisan gerrymandering by Democrats that would break up the current congressional district map from its current representation of six Democrat and five Republican congressional seats to 10 Democrat and one Republican to represent the Commonwealth of Virginia in the U.S. House.

The First Minister of Wales has lost her seat in the Senedd and resigned as Welsh Labour leader as the party loses control in the country for the first time amid mounting pressure on Sir Keir Starmer. The Telegraph has more. Baroness Morgan of Ely failed to cling on in the Ceredigion Penfro constituency on Friday, becoming the first sitting Welsh leader to lose an election in the Welsh Parliament. In a parting broadside at the Prime Minister, she warned that Sir Keir’s Government needs to “change course”. Welsh Labour is set to lose control of the Senedd for the first time, with Plaid Cymru forecast to become the biggest party,

New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth. The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post.

The South Carolina House voted last night to open the door for redistricting in a special session a week from now. The measure still has to pass the South Carolina Senate; however, with the Indiana outcome at the forefront of their political future, the redistricting is more than likely. As a consequence, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn is potentially going to lose his gerrymandered seat in congress. Given Clyburn’s stature as one of the key architects of the DNC ballot harvesting and election counting fraud via the AME Church network, Democrats are apoplectic.

This typically signals that a designated emergency team has been set up to handle hantavirus, the outlet reported.

The battle for control of the U.S. House is increasingly being fought not just at the ballot box but in the map room. Just days after the Volunteer State’s GOP-led legislature rammed through a new congressional map that ELIMINATES the state’s only Democrat-held and Black-majority seat, turning Tennessee into a solid 9-0 Republican delegation, a bombshell new “Crystal Ball” redistricting report is out, and it’s devastating news for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the entire crying, screaming Democrat Party. This comes on the heels of the Supreme Court nuking Louisiana’s illegal racial gerrymander and opening the floodgates for fair maps across the South.

The Virginia Supreme Court's ruling striking down Democrats’ costly redistricting push sparked an uproar on social media over the massive sum the party spent to pass the now-defunct congressional map. Virginians for Fair Elections, the main pro-redistricting group, raised north of $64 million in support of the Democratic-friendly gerrymander that could have netted the party four GOP-held seats in November’s midterm elections. Nearly $40 million of that came from an outside spending group aligned with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who was heavily involved in the effort to redraw

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down a congressional redistricting map approved by voters in a referendum last month, ruling that the Democratic-controlled Legislature failed to follow constitutional procedures when advancing the measure. The proposed map would likely have favored Democrats, giving them four additional congressional seats and creating a projected 10-to-1 advantage over Republicans in the state’s U.S. House delegation. The decision could strengthen Republican efforts to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the midterm elections.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a former president out hitting the trail to encourage people to come to his presidential library. But Barack Obama is doing exactly that, from a May the Fourth post with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill to doing an interview with Stephen Colbert about his presidential center. We reported earlier on how involved Obama was with the design and how they were selling an ugly blob of a pin, which represented the ugly building well.But the real ugly legacy that Obama left was the division he stoked with a smooth smile.

When the scale of the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota started to emerge, our first thought was that, if it’s that easy to rip off Medicaid, the North Star State can’t be the only place where it’s happening. Turns out we were right, as the Daily Wire’s exposé of massive fraud schemes in Ohio makes clear. Which means there are almost certainly still more to be uncovered. Which leads to the question of why we are learning about this only now. Daily Wire is releasing a five-part series that alleges massive fraud in an Ohio Medicaid program – a state that obtained a waiver so it could reimburse “home healthcare.”

The 2026 midterms are just a few months away, and the Democrat Party still has no coherent answer to why it lost working-class voters in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, across the Rust Belt, to Donald Trump twice. Rather than reckon with that, the activist base has doubled down: more ideological purity tests, more litmus questions, more performative opposition to anything bearing the Trump name. Its loudest voices are busy policing their own members. Into that mess steps Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) — not leaving the Democrat Party, but making clear in a Thursday op-ed that he understands exactly what's wrong with it. In doing so, he may have delivered
