House Republicans are pushing ahead with sweeping legislation to obliterate sanctuary cities, setting up a post-election vote that would empower victims of illegal immigrants' crimes to sue the local officials who released them from custody.

The Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act passed through the House Judiciary Committee with little fanfare last month, creating a path for GOP lawmakers to impose the toughest crackdown yet on states and cities that refuse to turn over illegal immigrants under federal detainers or outright release migrants in their custody.

Massachusetts is recovering SNAP and other fraudulently obtained public benefits at a rate of just 2.7%, equal to roughly $2.69 for every $100 stolen, according to a new, outside review that follows the state acknowledging over $1 million in such fraud in the first six months of this year.

Trump TV, Soros Loves El-Sayed, Taylor Swift, and Laila Cunningham

On the 25th anniversary of the massacre that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, Tucker Carlson decided the scandal was not a Senate candidate who told the country to “center” someone else’s grief. The scandal, in his telling, was that anyone still found that repulsive.

The New York Post reports that Carlson has all but endorsed Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the Bernie-backed progressive running against Trump-backed Republican Mike Rogers. In a Friday newsletter, Carlson declared El-Sayed “obviously right” about 9/11 and urged “the good people of Michigan” to keep Rogers “far away from Washington.”

Los Angeles is killing more shelter animals than ever, spending money to euthanize instead of enforcing preventative measures, the California Post has learned.

A staggering 2,172 sheltered cats, kittens and dogs were killed through May of this year — compared to 1,630 during the same period in 2025 — a 33% increase, according to LA Animal Service statistics.

Religious liberties are our most essential in America and the Department of Justice is doing something to protect parents. Meanwhile, the notion that illegal aliens are only a problem in blue states is proving to be false. But at least we have a handful of GOP Senators who are willing to stop the August recess in order to get the SAVE America Act passed.

The most revealing thing about Hasan Piker's public scolding of Zohran Mamdani is what he did not complain about. He did not say the mayor of New York was governing wrong. He did not say the policies were mistaken, the priorities misplaced, or the results disappointing. His grievance was that Mamdani said it all too politely.

Piker, the Twitch streamer whose audience now functions as an informal primary electorate on the American left, was recounting a New York Times interview during a taping of Mehdi Hasan's Zeteo podcast in Washington. By his account, the Times asked Mamdani what he would do with unlimited money.

Truth is often the most important component of recognizing when a political party is lost. "Regular" democrats are having major struggles trying to keep the radicals out and it's not unrealistic to think they will fail miserably.

The President of the United States should be able to have people working for him who believe in his vision and agenda. The Supreme Court was right to allow the President to fire his employees. But there was a major omission with the Federal Reserve that needs to be called out.

A driver’s license works in all fifty states. Get married in Texas and you’re married in New York. Adopt a child in Florida and that child is yours in California. Yet a law-abiding citizen who passes a background check, completes the training, and earns a concealed carry permit in one state can become an instant criminal simply by driving across an invisible line on a map.

For more than forty years, returning education to the states has been a stated goal — the conviction that decisions about how children learn belong to parents, local school boards, and state legislatures, not to a sprawling federal bureaucracy in Washington that has never taught a single child to read. The Department of Education spends tens of billions of dollars a year, and after four decades, scores are flat or falling. By the one measure that matters, it has not worked.
