Ohio will be the first state in the country to share its corporate registration records with the Justice Department’s new National Fraud Detection Center, as fraud scandals continue to drain taxpayer dollars nationwide. The first-of-its-kind partnership will give federal investigators immediate access to the state’s public business registration data, which could help expose shell companies, suspicious networks, shared addresses, and other signs of taxpayer fraud. “This is what I consider to be a historic day in our fight against fraud,” Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald said. “Americans deserve a government that stewards their money wisely and protects it from wrongdoers.

Who would have thought education dollars were best used when actually directed toward the education of students? Attempting to follow every letter of federal regulation in education is a monumental task. School personnel spend tens of millions of hours (and dollars) each year on federal compliance. What they get in return for this investment is rarely to the students’ direct benefit. Through the new Returning Education to the States Waiver, the Education Department has created a map for reform. As a result, many state superintendents across the country are working with the Education Department to redirect tax money.

The Supreme Court on Thursday sided 8-1 with the Federal Communications Commission against two telecom giants over a combined $100 million in fines. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. The lone dissenter was Justice Clarence Thomas. Telecom companies AT&T and Verizon claimed the FCC violated their rights to a jury trial by issuing fines for an alleged violation of the law. The FCC had found that both companies violated the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which requires carriers to protect the confidentiality of customer data. The commission fined AT&T $57 million and fined Verizon $46.9 million.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Breitbart News that it would be a “big, big, big deal” if President Donald Trump turned his gaze to finalizing the Washington Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo after he finishes his deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. “If we’ll be able to reach a compromise, compromising solution, that would be a big, big, big deal,” Vucic told Breitbart News in a lengthy interview in his office when asked if Trump finishing the deal inked in his first term on the matter would be a big success for the American president. “Yeah.”

Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill’s debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady who she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off. Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book “A View from the East Wing” with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage. Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up —

Tehran launched at least five missiles that “failed to hit their intended targets” in neighboring Gulf countries. Two fell short or splintered mid-air while the other three were intercepted by US and Bahrain air defense forces, according to CENTCOM. Iranian state media broadcast that three missiles struck “enemy bases” in Kuwait.CENTCOM also shot down three one-way attack drones that Iranian forces fired toward civilian mariners in the surrounding regional waters. The US’s strike targeted a military ground control station on the island, which sits along the critical Strait of Hormuz. The US military condemned the “unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.” The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, meanwhile,

President Trump-backed Rep. Randy Feenstra conceded to businessman Zach Lahn in the Iowa GOP primary for governor, marking a rare endorsement defeat for the president in the primaries. Lahn barely edged out Feenstra (R-Iowa) in the contest to take on Democratic state auditor Rob Sand in the general election. The congressman conceded before most outlets even called the race.Up until Tuesday, Trump had a perfect endorsement record in House, Senate, and governor races on the Republican side. Notably, the president did have a handful of GOP primary defeats in low-level races such as state legislative ones. Trump had endorsed Feenstra on Friday,

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—
