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.

On the advent of America’s 250th anniversary, the conventional narrative is that our country is deeply divided. Typical takes on the state of disunity in the United States include this headline from a guest op-ed that recently appeared in USA Today, “America celebrated together at 200. We won’t at 250,” and “We still had a sense of oneness then. We no longer do.” In a related news article, the publication cited major national surveys that “consistently show an anxious nation” and “a divisive president.” These observations aren’t wrong, but the divisions they cite—partisan politics, old vs. young, racial polarization, bitter disagreements over social issues—

The sons of President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stand to see a big windfall after businesses tied to the families helped secure a $1.6 billion mining deal in Kazakhstan, according to a new report. After Trump and Lutnick closed a deal for an American company called Kaz Resources to mine one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten last November, records indicate that firms tied to their sons saw financial gain from the contract, the New York Times reported. Dominari Securities — which is housed at Trump Tower in New York and partly owned by the president’s two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump —

The Supreme Court is expected to rule Tuesday in Trump v. Barbara, a high-stakes challenge to President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order that seeks to restrict automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders. In the event the court rules against Trump, a number of Congressional Republicans have legislation pending that could practically accomplish what a different ruling would have done. "American citizenship is a priceless privilege that must be protected, not exploited. We must restore integrity to our immigration system, uphold the rule of law, and protect the value of American citizenship for generations to come,"

Win some blue-state and blue-city races, and the cocky new socialist Jacobins believe that they have either already taken over the Democratic Party or will soon absorb it. And in reaction to these new swarms, an increasingly terrified and ossified old Democrat guard either limps away from the hive or invites them in to take over more. It is fascinating but ultimately depressing to watch old-style Democrats say or do anything to avoid the new mob of Robespierres. Democrat candidates who recently begged for a Schumer/Pelosi/Jeffries endorsement now are telling them to get in line —

Platner, as RedState readers will recall, won the right in the June primary to take on Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), easily defeating the state's governor, Janet Mills, who had suspended her campaign in April, amid a wave of scandals that revolved around revelations of a Nazi tattoo, lies about his background, the resurfacing of some abhorrent Reddit comments where he did some sexual assault victim shaming, joked about self-pleasuring, and mocked a fellow war veteran for getting shot and wounded by the Taliban.

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday officially sent a landmark housing bill to President Donald Trump's desk after he canceled a signing ceremony and said he wouldn't approve the measure until the Senate approved the SAVE America Act. Johnson's action starts the 10-day clock for Trump to either sign or veto the bill. If he takes no action, the bill automatically becomes law. A spokesperson for Johnson confirmed to CNN that he had sent Trump the bill. Trump had been set to sign the bill at a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, though he abruptly canceled—
