Who are the so-called Democratic Socialists of America and their fellow travelers? While it is difficult to generalize, many current and would-be socialist officeholders share several common traits. Most of them represent a relatively small slice of American life. Almost all are urban, with little knowledge of small-town or rural existence. Their world is subways, buses, high-rises, Uber, taxis, and proximity to corporate, academic, and financial institutions—yet often with little understanding of where their food, fuel, water, or everyday goods originate, or where their waste and sewage ultimately go. Their worldview is shaped more by consumption than production, as though goods simply arrive in and depart from cities on autopilot.

The FBI just put hundreds of people on a question much of Washington has spent five years trying to shame out of existence. If Georgia's 2020 presidential election was clean, a full review should prove it. If something went wrong, America needs to know that, too. The bureau has directed 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists from field offices across the country to help review records tied to the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga. Each is expected to check about 708 records by July 17, and the work has been described inside the FBI as a “priority investigation.” From the Associated Press:

President Donald Trump has made fighting illegal immigration the centerpiece of his second administration, but for too many families across the country, finding justice has been elusive. Many illegal immigrants who have committed crimes have escaped justice under the Biden administration, while the families of the victims faced ineffective investigations, protracted legal cases, and, in some cases, saw the perpetrators receive light prison sentences. “These people are shown so many privileges in this country and American citizens are really considered, in my opinion, second-class citizens when it comes to crimes committed against them by illegals,”

The Trump Administration is making a big mistake by engaging in negotiations with Hamas — as well as Iran. Instead of weakening the Iran-backed terrorist group and its sponsors, these negotiations legitimize them as political actors and, for Hamas, only strengthen their standing among Palestinians; and for Iran's rulers, among countries that might have been hoping to move toward the West. Discussions have reportedly stalled over disputes concerning which weapons the terrorist group Hamas would be permitted to retain. Instead of debating whether Hamas should disarm, negotiators now appear to be debating how much of its military capability it should be allowed to keep.

President Trump has posted an A.I. video of himself as a doctor, diagnosing celebrities with ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’. ​ The clip features recreations of Hollywood actors and celebrities Trump has previously criticized, including Whoopi Goldberg, Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts and Rosie O’Donnell. ​“Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with TDS?” the A.I.-generated Trump asks at the start of the clip posted to Truth Social late Wednesday. “The symptoms can be relentless.​ Fortunately, I’m Doctor Trump, and I have a treatment plan.”​ The A.I.-generated commander-in-chief then invites the viewer to hear from some of his “patients.”​

In the wake of the shocking victory of several Democratic Socialist candidates in the New York City primary elections, President Donald Trump is warning that the candidates are “hardcore Godless communists” and a serious threat to the United States. He received immediate pushback, not least from CNN’s chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, who said that Democratic Socialist candidates are not communists. “While Democrats themselves have been wrestling with what Tuesday night means for the direction of their party, socialism, much less democratic socialism, is not communism,” Collins said on air earlier this week. The same Democratic Socialists of America often identify as Marxist or Communist—

The rise of the Socialist left in New York is a bad omen for obvious reasons. The radical agenda is uniformly anti-police, pro-criminal, favors wildly expanded government powers over private property and demands punishing taxes on businesses and high-income families to fund its redistribution schemes. If that were all, it would still be a destructive and dangerous movement. But the post-election analysis from last week’s New York primary races finds another driving force among the winning candidates. Namely, the hatred of all things Israel, and those who dare support the Jewish state. It hardly needs to be said that the pied piper of this sickening eruption is Mayor Mamdani.

I don’t watch much Women’s National Basketball Association games. Apparently, most Americans have not in the past. But there was an incident the other day between two teams, the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever, and the sensation of women’s basketball is 6-foot-tall former Iowa college basketball sensation Caitlin Clark. And here’s the rub. She was playing this game, and she was knocked down. Two or three of the Phoenix Mercury team members kind of swarmed her. She almost got a knee in the head, and one player, Alyssa Thomas,

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is directing federal prosecutors across the country to step up investigations and prosecutions of so-called birth tourism schemes, arguing that the practice exploits the U.S. immigration system and often involves visa fraud and other federal crimes. In a memo sent out Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General Colin McDonald ordered federal prosecutors across the country to team up with Homeland Security and make these cases a priority. Officials say foreign nationals are lying on visa applications or misleading border agents about why they are traveling to the U.S., all so they can give birth here and automatically secure American citizenship for their children.

RedState reported earlier on how, amid the flurry of Supreme Court decisions that were handed down on Tuesday, NPR decided to drop a bombshell story about how conservative Justice Samuel Alito was allegedly retiring. The first line of an archived version of the story, which was retracted about five minutes after it went up, claimed that "Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the Supreme Court's opinion reversing Roe v. Wade, is retiring, the court announced Tuesday." The story then took a look back at Alito's conservative track record. While some suggested it was wishful thinking from NPR, many speculated they may have mistakenly published a "pre-write,"

The University of Tennessee has agreed to pay former assistant professor Tamar Shirinian $1.9 million to settle a lawsuit after she was fired over a social media post celebrating the death of Turning Point CEO and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Under the settlement, approved by the University of Tennessee System Board of Trustees, Shirinian will not return to her teaching position. The agreement still requires approval from Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Gov. Bill Lee. “My client is pleased that the parties reached a resolution,” Shirinian’s attorney, Robb Bigelow, said.
