Even before the 2026 New Mexico Legislative Session officially begins, far-left lawmakers have moved to prefile what gun-rights advocates are calling the most sweeping anti-firearms proposal in state history. According to a press release issued this week by the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association, an omnibus gun control measure has been prefiled in the Senate, sponsored by Democrat Sen. Bill O’Malley, Sen. Peter Wirth, Sen. Heather Berghmans, and Rep. Andrea Romero. Its contents are already drawing sharp backlash from Second Amendment supporters across the state. Zac Fort, legislative director for NMSSA, warned that the proposal represents a dramatic escalation in...

Russia launched a second major drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine in four days, officials said Tuesday, aiming again at the power grid amid freezing temperatures in an apparent snub to U.S.-led peace efforts as Moscow’s invasion of its neighbor approaches the four-year mark. Russia fired almost 300 drones, 18 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles at eight regions overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media. One strike in the northeastern Kharkiv region killed four people at a mail depot, and several hundred thousand households were without power in the Kyiv region, Zelensky said. The daytime temperature in...

Renee Good, the Minnesota mother killed by ICE agents last week, is being investigated by the FBI for ties to activist groups. The New York Times reports that federal agents are looking into whether Good was involved with organizations protesting the Trump administration’s immigration policies, seemingly following President Trump’s accusation on Sunday that Good and her wife were “professional agitators.” Meanwhile, the FBI continues to shut local Minnesota authorities out of the investigation. The White House is trying to smear Good’s character to deflect blame from ICE for her death, hoping to brand Good as a domestic terrorist before presenting...

Former FBI official Bongino defends support for Israel. The podcaster, who is not Jewish, said antisemitism is behind accusations that he took $6 million from AIPAC. Dan Bongino, who announced a podcast after leaving his role as deputy FBI director, responded to online accusations that he is a “traitor” who received $6 million from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. That’s not “even remotely true,” he said. When one exposes the liberal agenda, the “demon savages” scream back about the Jews, he wrote. “Of course, none of what’s included below in this pile of human waste’s post is even remotely...

Hundreds of billions of dollars flowed through U.S. nonprofit organizations in 2024, tax filing data show, as major fraud cases — including in Minnesota — put new focus on how taxpayer-backed funds are overseen.

Their decision to resign was announced in a meeting to staff on Monday, the sources told CBS News.

BROKEN ARROW, OKLA (KTUL) — The Broken Arrow City Council has denied a rezoning request and conditional use permit for a proposed mosque near Olive Avenue after a contentious meeting that lasted four hours. The decision came after the planning commission had approved the request last month. The meeting drew strong opinions both for and against the project, with several speakers opposing it due to concerns about traffic on the two-lane road, stormwater and floodplain issues, and whether the development aligns with the city's comprehensive plan. Rick Gates, a Wagoner County resident, expressed concerns about the financial implications, saying, "Maybe...

So many unsavory characters in the Democratic Party to mock, so little time. Despite being very well-traveled in the United States thanks to stand-up, I have only been to Minnesota once. That trip was just for a weekend and happened almost 15 years ago. I can think of one person I've known personally who was born there. The state isn't really putting itself out there to earn my trust. What I do know about Minnesota is that it's cold and full of people who do things that I don't like. Almost five years ago, I wrote that the United States...

The U.S. government is revoking the legal status of several thousand immigrants from Somalia, raising the specter of deportation for a community often assailed by President Trump. A Department of Homeland Security official said the Trump administration had decided to terminate Somalia's Temporary Protected Status program, which allows beneficiaries to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. Nationals of Somalia enrolled in the TPS program are now set to lose their legal status and work permits on March 17. The DHS official said roughly 2,500 Somali immigrants with TPS are expected to be affected by the termination....

JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon has warned that the Trump administration's attacks on Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell will backfire. Dimon defended the Fed as he spoke with reporters after his bank issued its fourth-quarter earnings results on Tuesday. 'Everyone we know believes in Fed independence, and so do we, and anything chips away at that is probably not a great idea,' Dimon said. 'It will have the reverse consequences. It will raise inflation expectations and probably increase rates over time.' The nation's pre-eminent banker added: 'I don't agree with everything that the Fed has done,' but 'I do have...

Trump’s property developer persona must salivate at getting the hugest property deal ever. The mini-continent of Greenland is likely worth many trillions of dollars in natural resources and development potential. Cagey negotiator Trump speaks of buying Greenland from Denmark for a few billion dollars, a typical, low-ball opening bid. Trump knows the USA is by far the best custodian for Greenland. And, its acquisition would address our serious security concerns about Russian and Chinese aggression in the Arctic. The European Union and NATO want to leverage Denmark’s current colonial “ownership” of Greenland into a European asset. We can evaluate a...
