The votes are still being tallied, but Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has won the Republican primary for Governor of Alabama. (He has 88.4 percent of the vote as of this writing.) Tuberville ran away from his Republican opponents: businessman and political gadfly Ken McFeeters, and self-described businessman and entrepreneur Will Santivasci. In 2025, Tuberville announced he would seek the Alabama governorship. As a former and beloved head coach at Auburn University from 1999 to 2008, Tuberville already had the name recognition and goodwill of a majority of Alabamians. Combine that with his record as a senator who stands up and fights

Controversy-tarred congressional candidate Maureen Galindo this week pledged to transform a site south of San Antonio now used by the Trump administration to detain migrants into an internment camp for “American Zionists.” “She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.” Galindo’s latest set of inflammatory remarks comes as the Democratic hopeful for Texas’ newly redrawn 35th Congressional District continues to draw national attention

CRESTWOOD, Ky. — Kentucky U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie lost his Republican House primary Tuesday after a concerted effort by President Donald Trump to oust him from Congress through challenger and ultimate winner Ed Gallrein. The result showed the president’s persisting influence over GOP voters, adding to a growing number of Trump-backed primary challengers to defeat Republican lawmakers who angered him in his second term. Massie, who has served in Congress since 2012, angered Trump by pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, criticizing the war in Iran and voting against his signature tax legislation last year. The congressman tried to convince
In blow to Trump, Senate advances measure
to end war in Iran

WASHINGTON – In a political blow to President Donald Trump, the Senate on May 19 moved forward for the first time with a measure to end the war in Iran. After several key Republican senators didn't vote – and another key GOP bloc defected – the war powers resolution advanced, 50-47. Though the vote was largely procedural, and faces an uphill battle to actually becoming law, the resolution's progress was a bad omen for the White House about potentially waning support in Congress for the war. Rising gas prices, spiking inflation and the president's sinking polling numbers have become political liabilities for battleground GOP lawmakers as the November midterm elections approach.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Monday for the first time publicly addressed the Supreme Court's controversial recent decision in a Louisiana voting rights dispute and the conservative majority's expedited certification of the ruling, which allowed state Republicans to more quickly implement plans for a new congressional map. Jackson, the liberal junior justice, told a gathering of the American Law Institute in Washington that her colleagues' handling of the case may have compromised the court's impartiality in political matters, especially during an election year.

Thomas Edsall's weekly opinion column at the NY Times is always a kind of doomscroll for Democrats. Nearly all of the columns have the same premise which goes something like this: Republicans are destroying America and only Democrats can stop them, but there's a problem. And give Edsall credit for realizing that this setup is evergreen at the NY Times. It is after all a paper for Democrats who are convinced they have all the answers to all the problems caused by everyone else, if only... Today's edition of the column fits right into this pattern. It's titled "Is There a Door No. 3 for Democrats?" Here's the opening paragraph. Despite

President Trump on Tuesday endorsed Ken Paxton in the race for U.S. Senate in Texas, delivering the state attorney general an edge in the primary runoff race against incumbent Senator John Cornyn. “Ken is a true MAGA Warrior who has ALWAYS delivered for Texas, and will continue to do so in the United States Senate,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “John Cornyn is a good man, and I worked well with him, but he was not supportive of me when times were tough,” the president added. “John was very late in backing me in what turned out to be a Historic Run

At the beginning of a week, coming off a weekend during which the United Kingdom has seen this sort of outpouring of national fervor. And such deep pride in being British. Juxtaposed against one of the very things they are waving flags about and trying to protect - their national identity - from the swarms of immigrants swallowing such things whole across the European continent. A woman fights for her life after being deliberately struck by a driver rampaging down the sidewalk of a street in Modena, Italy. Her legs, what was left of them, had to be amputated.

RedState reported earlier on a mass shooting that took place at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, just before noon Pacific time, which left three dead. In addition to the three victims, which included a security guard at the mosque who reportedly "played a pivotal role" in saving lives, the two alleged gunmen, said to be teenagers, were also found dead in a nearby vehicle located by police. Investigators believe the two died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. We're learning new information on Monday evening about the two suspects, including their names and possible motivations: The alleged gunmen
Democrats Face Midterm Disappointment replies

As they look to the midterm elections, Republicans have reason to worry — but not despair. They're going to be fighting uphill all the way to hold onto their majority in the House, which they currently control by the razor-thin margin of just six seats. That includes one member, California Rep. Kevin Kiley, who officially left the GOP but still caucuses with the party. "Fragile" hardly does justice to the state of the GOP's House majority. Democrats look at President Donald Trump's approval ratings and exult: As of early May, exactly six months before the midterms, Trump's approval in the RealClearPolitics polling averages

True enough. But to be fair, Politico only realized it belatedly, too. Donald Trump finally got his revenge on Bill Cassidy this weekend. The incumbent Senator tried to survive a primary challenge with Trump pushing voters to give him the boot over Cassidy's impeachment removal vote in January 2021. Instead, Cassidy came in a distant third to Julia Letlow and John Fleming, not even breaking into six figures in vote totals: Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict President Donald Trump on impeachment charges in 2021, has lost his Republican primary in Louisiana, as two challengers who had aligned with Trump advanced to a runoff.

After less than two hours of deliberations, a jury rejected Elon Musk's claims against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, ending a dramatic chapter in the bitter rivalry between the two tech billionaires, who were once close friends. The court, led by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, agreed with the advisory jury's determination that Altman and OpenAI were not liable, and that "claims of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment are dismissed as untimely." Addressing the judge, Musk's lead counsel, Steven Molo, reserved his client's right to appeal, though Gonzales Rogers said she's prepared to dismiss an appeal "on the spot."
