    Larry Summers, a former Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and the former president of Harvard University, has resigned from the board of the tech company OpenAI, according to statements released Wednesday. "Larry has decided to resign from the OpenAI Board of Directors, and we respect his decision. We appreciate his many contributions and the perspective he brought to the Board," a statement from the OpenAI Board of Directors reads. Summers' resignation came just two days after he released a statement saying he was "deeply ashamed" of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Summers' email exchanges with Epstein were released last...
  • For conservative media, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani quickly becomes attack target

    New York City’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, hasn’t taken office yet. But he’s already the new avatar of evil for conservative media figures. He’s been called “downright sinister” and “incompatible with America.” His labels include commie, Marxist, jihadist sympathizer and “seething leftist.” Fox News’ Laura Ingraham warned her viewers not to be fooled by “smiling socialists who rule like Soviet tyrants.” A New York Post post-election cover that depicted Mamdani holding aloft the Soviet Union’s hammer and sickle symbol sold out on newsstands by noon and was offered on e-Bay for $75. By the end of the day, the Post...

    Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned. The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 2023, according to a bombshell report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN). The cash was awarded from a “Champions of Justice Fund,” set up by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’... NCRI and IAN told The Post they are demanding...

    A firm representing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) solicited Jeffrey Epstein for donations and to get him to attend a dinner with then-President Barack Obama, newly released files revealed. Thousands of pages of documents from Epstein’s estate published by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week included a 2013 email from a representative of Jeffries’ asking Epstein to meet with and give money to the Democrat leader. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) exposed the email on the House floor during consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1: https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1990866192358055989 New York City-based firm Dynamic...

    A federal court issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday stopping a congressional map enacted this year from being used during the 2026 midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, said the plaintiffs are likely to prove that the new map is racially gerrymandered. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Today’s Republican Party is big on manliness and masculine virtues. The MAGA right in particular is forever obsessing over who is the biggest, the strongest, the most fearless among them.This is why, watching President Trump’s fight to keep a lid on the Epstein files, I have been struck, delighted even, that among the vanishingly few Republican lawmakers with the courage to defy him have been three fire-breathing congresswomen: Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.Love ’em or hate ’em, these House troublemakers bucked their party leadership, stared down their president and made...

    Belem, Brazil) — Crowned by global media outlets as the most important American at the United Nations “climate” summit in Belem, far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) slammed U.S. President Donald Trump as an “invasive species” while signing deals with hostile foreign governments. The American president, Newsom suggested, must be stopped in order to save the world from alleged man-made climate change. Among other major announcements, Newsom inked a number of unconstitutional quasi-treaties with foreign governments — several of which are dominated by self-proclaimed communist and socialist leaders hostile to the United States. These “partnerships,” signed on the third day...

    The USDA used the shutdown crisis to shine a light on flagrant food-stamp fraud.It’s amazing, and somewhat depressing, that this year marks two full decades since Hurricane Katrina blew through the central Gulf Coast and inundated the city of New Orleans once its defective levees broke from the strain of the storm surge. Just acknowledging that time span has a way of making one feel quite old. But a memory from just before Katrina’s arrival — a couple of weeks earlier — remains relatively fresh. It’s of a newspaper article from the New Orleans Times-Picayune about efforts by the...

    WASHINGTON — Rep. Adam Gray was one of only six House Democrats — and the only one from California — who voted with Republicans in favor of a deal to end the government shutdown, and there was a calculated reason behind that decision.Gray, a first-term Democrat from the Central Valley, is running for reelection in a majority Latino district that national Republicans are expected to heavily target as they defend their narrow House majority in next fall’s midterm elections. Last year, Gray won his seat by 187 votes, and although redistricting has since made the 13th District more favorable to...

    Trump is also frustrated because he thinks Democrats outmaneuvered the GOP on the debate. The fast-track movement comes after months of stalling by Republican leaders and immense pressure from the White House to keep a vote from happening.But Trump, over the last week, realized his vice-like grip over the GOP was not enough to forestall the vote and relented to the “inevitable reality,” the official said. The president changed course Sunday after speaking with many Republicans and concluding dozens of House members planned to cross him.“The strategy now is give Republicans a perceived win,” the official said. “So they can...

    A panel of federal judges blocked Texas from using a newly drawn map for the state's congressional districts on Tuesday. "The public perception of this case is that it's about politics. To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map," the ruling states. This is a developing story. Check back soon for updates.

    Conservatives are targeting a member of the House Democratic Caucus over her alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told reporters Tuesday that a member of his group would introduce a resolution to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., the Virgin Islands' nonvoting delegate to the House of Representatives. Newly released documents show that Plaskett exchanged texts with Epstein during a congressional hearing with Michael Cohen, a former associate of President Donald Trump, in February 2019. "I think she needs to be censured by the House and removed from the [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]...

    CNN's Fareed Zakaria used his program to deliver a monologue on the nation's affordability crisis, outlining the forces driving it and debating where the blame belongs. FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN ANCHOR: But first, here's "My Take." It's hard to see how the government shutdown and reopening is anything other than a defeat for the Democrats. A high stakes confrontation that ended with their own goals unmet and their message muddled. If they didn't have the leverage or were not willing to use it to prolong the shutdown, then why did they stage it at all? The shutdown reinforced the image of...

    Democrats have generally been unable to agree on much over the past year. But they now seemingly agree on one thing: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) must go. Indeed, it appears that Schumer’s leadership position is increasingly untenable as he comes under fire from both moderates and his left flank. Democrats’ commentary on the five-term senator and nine-term representative underscores how precarious Schumer’s position is. After eight Democrats broke with their party to reopen the government, critiques of Schumer’s leadership were many. They included the simple demand, “He must resign.” He was also accused of trying to “screw over”...
