New York Democrats’ latest bid to suppress Republican voters launches this week as the Legislature gets the ball rolling on amending the state Constitution to allow it. They claim they’re just countering GOP gerrymandering across the country, but that prompts the question: Why did they start trying to do this before the ink was even dry on the 2020 Census? As we noted recently, New York Dems in fact triggered the gerrymander wars with their relentless efforts, starting in 2021, to undo the voter-passed prohibition on gerrymandering so they could draw district maps guaranteed to shut out the Republicans (who still draw over 40% of the statewide vote).

Inflation is hitting Iran hard in the midst of stalled negotiations with the U.S. Iranian news agencies are reporting that the country has stopped talking with mediators about extending the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel, the Associated Press reported. President Donald Trump said Monday that he does not "care" if peace negotiations with Iran are over, stating that the negotiations had been taking too much time. However, Trump said on Tuesday that claims that the two countries have ceased communicating are "false and erroneous." So long as no agreement is reached, Iran's oil-

The United States Central Command said Tuesday night that U.S. forces have successfully defended itself against aggressive Iranian behavior and countered with self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. The U.S. military said Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors in the Middle East, which all failed to hit their targets of Bahrain and Kuwait. American forces also shot down three one-way attack drones that were launched toward civilian mariners in regional waters and conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on the island.

​Californians go to the polls Tuesday to vote in primary elections that are expected to narrow the wide-open fields for November's General Elections in both the Los Angeles mayoral race and state gubernatorial contest – already the most expensive governor's race in U.S. history, with over $315 million spent so far. Polling shows neither race having a clear leader, with Republican candidates in the liberal-leaning state among the front-runners in both. In the governor's race, ​the campaign of billionaire Democratic candidate Tom Steyer has poured in over $200 million in ad spending, the most money of any candidate this election cycle in the country

Democratic Maine Gov. Jane Mills reminded voters Sunday that she is still on the ballot in next week's Senate Democratic primary as constituents grapple with reports that candidate Graham Platner allegedly exchanged sexually explicit text messages with several women earlier in his marriage. The revelation came out this weekend that Platner's wife Amy Gertner alerted his campaign to the texts in August 2025 after discovering the messages earlier that year. Campaign aides reportedly reviewed the matter during an internal vetting process shortly after Platner launched his Senate bid, but staff members ultimately decided the issue was personal—

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has launched a civil war in the Democratic Party with his controversial endorsement of a fellow socialist’s bid to oust incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, insiders said Monday. Mamdani’s decision to support fellow Democratic Socialists of America insurgent Darializa Avila Chevalier in the June 23 primary for the northern Manhattan/Bronx House 13th House District is part of a long-term effort by him and fellow socialists to take control of the Democratic Party, sources said. In New York City, it’s a civil war in the Democratic Party,” said campaign consultant Evan Roth Smith.

Two Democrat governors trying to advance progressive policies on immigration and gun control are facing pushback from local law enforcement, with sheriffs and prosecutors in Maryland and Virginia openly resisting portions of the states’ new agendas. In Maryland, a majority of the state’s elected sheriffs filed a federal lawsuit challenging the newly enacted Community Trust Act, a law backed by Democrat Gov. Wes Moore that limited cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities.

former senior intelligence community official under President Barack Obama reported concerns earlier this year that the Hunter Biden laptop letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials in 2020 bore characteristics “consistent with coordinated intelligence deception operations,” according to a memo the ex-official submitted to the intelligence community inspector general. The concerns have now been referred to the Justice Department, a remarkable turnabout for a letter that was used six years ago to censor factually based concerns about Biden family corruption.

The rollout of the DOJ’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” may have been botched, but the fund remains a good idea, and the hysteria from Democrats like the hypocritical Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden and allied media is absurd. It’s not unprecedented or corrupt or Trump’s personal “slush fund,” no matter how loudly they shriek. It’s just a rebranding of an existing legal settlement fund Congress authorized decades ago, as Washington lawyer and veteran Senate oversight investigator Jason Foster points out. Administrations of both parties have repeatedly used the DOJ’s “Judgment Fund” to settle legal claims against the federal —

The Department of Homeland Security ripped New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill for claiming that she had solved a major issue behind the violent protests at the ICE detention center Delaney Hall in Newark Sunday. Sherrill announced that visitation rights for the 1,000 migrants who are being held at the privately run facility — one of the grievances that had led to a prolonged hunger strike by some detainees and clashes between anti-ICE protesters and feds. Instead, DHS officials claimed that visitation rights were restored after they were able to bring the violent protests under control — after he Shetrill and her allies fomented them.

new study finds that donations from faculty at U.S. top universities have become increasingly one-sided – suggesting that politically active faculty are clustered within a “narrow” and “ideological” far-left band. To be sure, similar studies have long concluded that U.S. universities have more liberal-leaning than conservative-leaning faculty. However, the new study, released Thursday and commissioned by the nonprofit civil liberties group the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, attempts to more accurately assess a faculty member’s political ideology through culling campaign contributions, instead of merely finding a member’s political affiliation.
