Sen. Lindsey Graham has won his Republican primary in South Carolina, NBC News projects, after spending millions to secure the nomination.

As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative. The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.” In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas. A recent panel offered an unprecedented window into what the project looks like. Organizers from Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia,...

The US House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to pass the reconciliation bill to fund ICE and CBP, more than a week after President Trump’s June 1 deadline. The $70 billion bill will fund the Department of Homeland Security’s immigration functions for the remainder of Trump’s term. This comes after a contentious vote in the Senate amid tensions over Trump’s $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund and White House Ballroom funding. Some Republicans reportedly expressed concerns because the bill does not prevent Trump from restoring his anti-weaponization fund to compensate victims of Biden-era lawfare. Other attempts were made to block the construction...

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s latest strikes on Lebanon and Iran have made clear that U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who started the war in lockstep, want different things.Trump had publicly warned Israel not to strike Beirut in its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. When it did, on Sunday, Iran responded by firing ballistic missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire. Israel then struck Iran, with which Trump has been engaged in weeks of high-stakes negotiations.The fighting has since died down, but the differences between the two leaders are likely to persist.That’s...

Its critics had thought it dead, but suddenly there was revived support for the SAVE America Act in the U.S. Senate and the idea of securing America’s elections appears to be back. The plan, sought by a majority of Americans and President Donald Trump, would require identification and verification in order for people to vote in American elections, an idea that seems reasonable. However, critics have claimed it would prevent married women and others from voting. Now it has happened during a Senate “vote-a-rama” to advance the GOP’s $70 billion immigration enforcement package. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, had an amendment...

A mix of restaurants, cultural institutions and high-rise residential living makes Midtown Atlanta one of the city’s most attractive neighborhoods. Lately, however, a series of violent incidents has shaken residents and left many wondering if city officials can keep us safe. In April, I was standing outside my apartment when I heard gunshots ring out in Piedmont Park. A rowdy, unauthorized gathering of teenagers had turned deadly. A 16-year-old girl was killed by a stray bullet. A few months earlier, I was in a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon when a large man brutally attacked a server. I helped pull...

Yes, my flame-retardant suit is on, but this is an honest question. What has happened to the two right sidebars here that used to be very good sources for TRULY breaking news stories? I've seen FReepers try to post actual breaking stories there, and some moderator deletes them from the sidebar, until all there is over there on Breaking News is commie Sunday television talk show posts. What has happened? I know Jim is gone, but I also know that this site needs money support. Crushing the breaking news sidebars is not a good way to get support.

Sen. John Fetterman and his possible future U.S. Senate colleague Graham Platner are both Democrats, but that’s not keeping them from trading profanity-laced barbs. During a town hall on Sunday, Platner — the frontrunner in Maine’s Democratic primary on Tuesday — was asked about forming relationships in the Senate if he were eventually elected. Platner chose to compare himself to Fetterman, who has frustrated Democrats with his constant criticism of the party, frequently on Fox News, and his support for President Donald Trump’s nominees and policies, such as the Iran war. “As you can all probably tell, I got a...
