Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is two days away from learning whether she has won the Democratic primary for Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, essentially ensuring her path to reelection. Her
challenger, a familiar foe in former Minneapolis Councilman Don Samuels, believes he can unseat the sitting Democrat, arguing while campaigning on Sunday that she has been "divisive." "The voters have had three terms under Congresswoman Omar’s leadership and service," Samuels said to FOX 9. "They are dissatisfied." "She goes hard after one point of view, condemns the other point of view, alienates half of her district, and becomes divisive," he added....

want a civil war. They couldn’t kill him in Butler, so they’ll Epstein him in prison. Story continues below advertisement The corrupt New York judge who is overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal case on Monday wrote that a Sept. 18 sentencing hearing for the former president will remain intact but made several scheduling decisions. In a letter to Trump’s legal team and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, Judge Juan Merchan wrote that he will rule on the former...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro broke his silence about not joining the 2024 Democratic ticket as the vice presidential candidate — with sources attributing presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ snub to her fear that he would steal the “spotlight” and alienate the party’s progressive base over his support for Israel. ... Hank Sheinkopf told
The Post that Shapiro was too hot to pick as Harris’ running mate because of his pro-Israel record, and that Waltz was a safer choice. “The ticket would have been too pro-Israel. Harris doesn’t need a battle over Israel-Gaza,” said Sheinkopf, who worked on Bill Clinton’s re-election campaign....

Once home to a luxury steakhouse frequented by stars like Mae West, a century-old building on the outskirts of downtown Los Angeles went up in flames during the early morning hours Saturday.

a unique atmosphere to what would become a favorite of Old Hollywood. Over the next nearly 100 years, it was a fixture of fine dining in LA and a filming location for television shows and movies including 1974's "Chinatown" starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway and the 2001...

really wants to be the ambassador to the UK,” said a Clinton source. “There’s a reason why Bill and Hillary came out in the first five minutes to support Kamala’s presidential bid — they were currying favor.” The source said the Clintons have been “working on this idea for a long time.” The former first daughter, who is vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, would also love a gig in France, the source said.

Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks made more than two-dozen “firearms- related purchases” starting a year before he tried to kill the former president, carefully covering his tracks by using a fake name and trying to hide his activity online, according to law enforcement sources. Last
spring, Crooks, 20, began to gear up — making more than 25 separate purchases from online gun supply stores using an alias, sources told The Post. Crooks took great pains to conceal his online activities, which shows he was engaged in meticulous planning even well ahead of the campaign rally, sources said. It...

A series of bombshell text messages from countersnipers who were supposed to protect Donald Trump at the Pennsylvania rally where an assassin's bullet nearly killed the president showed them a step behind the gunman. Now,
it appears a group chat of those meant to protect Trump were aware that gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was in their midst over 90 minutes before Trump was shot at, rather than an hour as the FBI had previously claimed. When one of the three countersnipers was about to call off at the end of their shift at around 4:26pm, they noticed a man...

Text messages, obtained exclusively by The Times, indicate that some law enforcement officers were aware of Thomas Crooks earlier than previously known. And
he was aware of them. Nearly 100 minutes before former President Donald J. Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending. “Guys I am out. Be safe,” he texted to a group of colleagues at 4:19 p.m. on July 13. He exited the second floor of a warehouse that overlooked the campaign rally site, leaving two other countersnipers behind....
