“Iran has allowed an American Citizen, who was wrongfully detained in December of 2024 under the ‘presidency’ of Sleepy Joe Biden, to leave the Country. She is now safely outside of Iran, and in good condition. The United States of America appreciates this gesture of Goodwill by Iran!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, without naming the person. Trump, who described the release as a “gesture of Goodwill by Iran!” has ramped up pressure on Iran in recent days and signed off on several new rounds of U.S. strikes.

JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon is validating the growing frustration of working-class Americans, admitting in a recent interview that he completely understands why man The Wall Street billionaire argued that decades of ineffective public policies have left lower-income families behind in struggling rural areas and inner cities, forcing them to navigate failing schools and rising crime while wealthy elites remain insulated from those problems. "The anti-rich thing has been around a long time, and I do understand it because I think, separate the two pieces, the piece that's really important is that we have, in fact, left the lower-income folks behind," Dimon told Axios.

am proud to be an American, not just because our nation has lasted 250 years with great success under the same charter, but because of our positive influence around the world. In World War I, we turned the tide in favor of the Allied forces. In World War II, Nazi totalitarianism would have won, but the United States bolstered Allied forces overseas and in the European theater. Japanese aggression throughout Southeast Asia, from 1931 to 1945, ended because of America. We dropped two atomic bombs on their homeland, and we forced their surrender. The Cold War was the longest conflict. Yes, there were fewer battles, but many sanctions, lots of threats,

New York City has long been celebrated as a city of immigrant neighborhoods. Little Italy, Chinatown, Harlem, Washington Heights, Brighton Beach - these communities tell the story of generations of newcomers who helped build America's largest city while gradually becoming part of it. That history makes one omission from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's recently released map of immigrant communities particularly striking. Little Italy wasn't there. Instead, the map highlighted a series of neighborhoods identified as "Little Pakistan," "Little Senegal," "Little Yemen" and even "Little Palestine."

Finding out that, by a 3-to-2 margin, Americans think the country is “evolving into a big government socialist state” is bad enough. Far more worrisome is finding out how many Republicans and self-styled conservatives are on board with one of socialism’s central tenets. The latest I&I/TIPP Poll, which we are reporting on today, finds that nearly half of Americans agree that we’re sliding into socialism, and less than a third disagree. (See: “By 3-To-2 Margin, Americans Believe U.S. Is Turning Into A ‘Socialist State’: It also finds that Republicans are more pessimistic about the future than Democrats,

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday endorsed a nonbinding House resolution that would declare that cartels, terrorists and other criminal actors invaded the southern border states during the Biden administration and that the Constitution allows states to act unilaterally against those threats. H.Res.50, introduced by U.S. Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) on January 16, 2025, has remained before the House Judiciary Committee since its referral. The measure had 40 cosponsors as of Wednesday. As a simple House resolution, the measure would express the chamber’s position but would remain nonbinding. It would not require Senate approval, go to President Donald Trump or carry the force of law.

The annual inflation rate in June was 3.5%, according to the Labor Department's consumer price index report released Tuesday. The report by the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics attributes the drop in consumer prices, in large part, to a decrease in the cost of energy. The consumer price index is a broad measure of costs for goods and services across the U.S. economy. The June rate also marked a 0.4% decrease from the annualized rate in May. This decline in June was the largest 1-month decrease since April 2020 when the CPI fell 0.8%.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he is replacing his proposed 20 percent reimbursement fee on cargo ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz with trade and investment deals involving Gulf states, while maintaining a blockade on ships traveling to or from Iranian ports or carrying Iranian cargo. “Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military,” Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social, crediting Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper, and American service members.

President Trump’s proposed 20% toll on commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could generate nearly $200 billion annually in revenue — a windfall large enough to cover about half of the federal civilian payroll. Trump announced the concept on Monday — after months of rejecting Iran’s plan for post-war tolls — in what could amount to a negotiating tactic. Brandon Daniels, CEO of supply chain AI company Exiger, told The Post that the annual volume of international commerce in the strait was between $880 billion and $970 billion before the war.

Want to make banker money without stepping foot on Wall Street? Try plumbing for the New York City Housing Authority. From July 2024 through June 2025, NYCHA plumber supervisor Jakub Markowski earned $465,000, including $332,000 for nearly 2,600 hours in overtime — more than the mayor and City Council speaker make combined. While he collected these checks, Markowski also operated two private plumbing companies. The Buildings Department is now investigating him. As the city’s ascendant socialist left pushes for more housing in public or nonprofit hands, NYCHA’s history presents a sordid tale of dysfunction and corruption, with Markowski the latest apparent example. Lest we forget, Shola Olatoye, NYCHA’s chairwoman under Mayor Bill de Blasio,

It’s a move obscene on so many levels: Members of the City Council are looking to vote themselves a fat pay hike. Just days after they approved a gargantuan $126 billion city budget, they took up a measure to boost their salaries more than 18% retroactive to Jan. 1 — plus automatic 2% hikes every year thereafter. The hikes would push members’ pay to $175,500, upper middle-class income territory and more than twice the city’s median income ($81,228). So the move shows complete contempt for city voters, who the pols plainly think won’t notice, as well as for the City Charter, which sets out an entirely different procedure for upping their pay.

Organizations tied to Cuba have openly built a rapid-response protest apparatus attached to a possible U.S.-Cuba military conflict, at the same moment the U.S. government is formally treating that coalition’s Cuban state partner as a hostile influence operation. The National Network on Cuba (NNOC) has been distributing a document since at least June 2026 urging organizers across the U.S. to prepare to protest in front of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices, military bases, recruiting centers and other federal institutions should the U.S. get involved in military action in Cuba.
