Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said there are plans to roll out major overhauls to the Supreme Court if Democrats win control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. Calls for implementing stricter rules for the Supreme Court from the Left have escalated in recent years, as complaints about alleged corruption and ethical lapses have plagued Republican-appointed justices. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been targeted by campaigns calling into question their relationships with GOP megadonors and their wives’ political involvement.“The Supreme Court has become a morass, both ethically and substantively,” Schumer told NBC News. “We’re...

Former President Donald Trump said Friday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings With Maria Bartiromo” that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called him after the assassination attempt and apologized for Facebook and Instagram censoring photos of him with his fist raised. Trump said, “Mark Zuckerberg called me. First off he called me a few times after the event and said that was amazing and brave and actual he announced he is not going to support a Democrat because he can’t because he respected me for what I did that day.” He added, “To me it was a normal response but I was...

Vice President Kamala Harris got enough delegate votes Friday in the virtual roll call process to become the official Democratic nominee. The deadline for DNC delegates to turn in their electronic ballot is on Monday, but by Friday afternoon, Harris already had the majority of delegate support secured. “I am so proud to confirm that Vice President Harris has earned more than a majority of votes from all convention delegates and will be the nominee of the Democratic Party following the close of voting on Monday,” DNC chair Jaime Harrison said in a call. “The outpouring of support we have...

Polling and data guru Nate Silver updated his prediction to “toss up” two days after he said former President Trump was electorally favored to win the White House in November. Silver, a prominent elections analyst and statistician, released his first election model since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee on Tuesday. He predicted Harris would win the popular vote, but called her “a modest underdog to Trump in the Electoral College.” Silver wrote on Substack that this posed a risk of a “repeat of the popular vote-Electoral College split that cost Democrats the 2000 and 2016 elections.”...

In the two or so weeks since becoming the anointed and appointed one, Kamala Harris has all but erased Donald Trump’s national lead. She’s also enjoying real momentum in the swing states. Last week, I said we would have to wait until this week before we could begin to understand the impact Joe Biden’s decision to drop out would have on the 2024 presidential race. Further, we would see how the Democrat Party (and corporate media, but I repeat myself) all but crowning Kamala the nominee impacted the polls. Well, now we know, and what we know is that former...

There's been a ton of buzz since Donald Trump's Q&A session with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) at their annual convention on Wednesday, particularly the part when ABC senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott took issue with Republicans dubbing Kamala Harris a "DEI hire." "Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the first black and Asian woman to serve as Vice President and be on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire," Scott began. "Is that acceptable language to you? And will you tell those Republicans and...

At the moment, it looks like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is favored to be selected as Kamala Harris's running mate. Shapiro has been the target of some damaging leaks in the past week, including the fact that he allegedly covered up sexual harassment in his office. There is also a lot of pushback coming from progressives in the party who don't like his position on school vouchers or his stance on the Israel-Hamas war. So far, none of these issues seem to be hurting his chances. According to reports, Harris will appear at a rally with her running mate on...

Police have issued a warning about camouflaged cameras hidden in the shrubbery outside upscale suburban homes after one was found in Scarsdale earlier this week. It's just the latest incident in a nationwide trend. Police in California have been warning about camouflaged cameras for several weeks. Near Boston, a camera was found hidden in shrubs outside a home, and three people were arrested after they allegedly used the camera to time a break-in for when the family was away. All three suspects had New York City addresses. A Scarsdale homeowner doing yardwork found the surprise in their shrubbery. Police say...

Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Jerome Powell’s Wednesday announcement that the central bank might start lowering interest rates in September sets the stage for a potential reversal of the longstanding pattern of inconsistent and contradictory indicators from the economy. Unfortunately, that change may not be for the better, with a conservative September interest rate cut of 0.25 percent being too small and arriving too late to do much good. Additionally, the central bank said it will continue reducing its balance sheet by selling Treasury securities, agency debt, and agency mortgage‑backed securities, which tightens the money supply. Scarcer money is more costly....

Bill Gates was like a 'kid in a candy store' with young pretty Microsoft interns, so much so that they were banned from being alone with him, an upcoming book claims. Intimate details of the billionaire's relationships with women are set to be exposed by New York Times journalist Anupreeta Das, who writes that Gates' infidelity left his wife Melinda 'seething for a long time.'

In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13, a video with images of Jesus crowned with thorns, blood running down his face, followed by photos of the former president circulated on social media. Days later, at the Republican National Convention, the evangelist Franklin Graham endorsed Mr. Trump from the stage, saying that “God spared his life.”But the idea of Mr. Trump as chosen by God has infuriated those evangelicals who believe that he stands in direct opposition to their faith. Their existence highlights an often-overlooked fact about the American religious landscape: Evangelicals are not a...

Recent events have elevated the significance of our reporting to still loftier heights, as a result of national attention on the Secret Service in the aftermath of the Butler, PA assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and increased attention on Kamala Harris in light of her becoming the presumptive Democrat nominee for President.

President Joe Biden has sparked fresh health concerns as he was caught on camera staring blankly ahead while his vice president took the lead during a historic prisoner swap between the United States and Russia. The 81-year-old commander in chief appeared to be looking off into the distance as Vice President Kamala Harris gave a statement to a reporter Thursday night. Biden only moved once in the post-midnight appearance, apparently to scratch his head, with his vacant appearance quickly noted by viewers. He did speak earlier on and did not appear to make any verbal flubs - but nonetheless, his...

As speculation around Gov. Josh Shapiro’s chances of becoming Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate continued to build Wednesday, a national nonpartisan organization focused on preventing sexual harassment in state government said the governor had failed to prevent sexual harassment in his office. “Governor Shapiro’s office should have done a better job preventing sexual harassment happening in his own office by former cabinet secretary Mike Vereb, including protecting the survivor who bravely came forward, ensuring that any other potential survivors felt safe in speaking up, and ensuring the harasser didn’t have the opportunity to do further harm after the complaint,”...
