Calls from progressive lawmakers and activist groups to expand the Supreme Court have fallen noticeably silent since President Donald Trump won the election in November and returned to the Oval Office last month. During President Joe Biden’s tenure, progressive organizations such as Demand Justice and Alliance for Justice were vocal advocates for adding seats to the high court, which has a 6-3 Republican-appointed majority cemented with the help of Trump’s three nominees from his first term. Progressives’ concerns focused on what they viewed as an entrenched conservative majority’s influence on issues such as abortion, voting rights, and environmental regulations. Lawmakers...

Sir Keir Starmer will discuss the importance of Ukraine's sovereignty in talks with Donald Trump next week, he said in a call with the country's president. The UK prime minister reiterated the UK's "ironclad support" for Kyiv when he spoke to Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday. The two leaders held their second telephone conversation in four days following US President Trump's decision to re-open relations with Russia and seek an end to the war in Ukraine. Monday marks three years since Vladimir Putin's invasion, which UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said he will mark with further sanctions on Russia. On Saturday,...

Wikipedia hilariously labels Enrique Tarrio “a convicted American seditionist and far-right activist” and calls the Proud Boys, which he led from 2018 to 2021, “ a neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence…” Why is this hilarious? Just compare it with how Wikipedia describes Black Lives Matter, a truly seditious group with openly communist aims. Wikipedia describes BLM as [A] decentralized political and social movement that aims to highlight racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by black people and to promote anti-racism… Despite being characterized by opponents as violent the overwhelming majority of BLM demonstrations have been peaceful....

“‘Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth’” (Matthew 5:5). God rewards the gentle with His own joy and gladness. But more specifically, He allows such saints to “inherit the earth.” In the future the Father will completely reclaim earth, and believers will rule it with Him. Because only believers are truly gentle, Jesus could confidently proclaim “they shall inherit the earth.” “Inherit” denotes the receiving of one’s allotted portion and correlates perfectly with Psalm 37:11—“the humble will inherit the land.” We sometimes wonder why the godless seem to prosper while the godly suffer, but God assures us...

A new YouGov survey finds that Americans’ trust in the media to state the facts fully, accurately, and fairly is low: Only 29% say they have a fair amount or a great deal of trust. More (44%) have at least a fair amount of trust in Donald Trump’s administration to state facts fully, accurately and fairly. The survey also found that Americans are more likely to see the media’s coverage of Trump as too negative than to see it as too positive. Around four in 10 believe the media wants Trump to fail.

It’s been an exhausting four weeks for anyone watching the administration’s effort to reshape, modernize, and clean up the federal government. It’s been an avalanche of Executive Orders, confirmation hearings, court battles, and staff reshufflings and removals. “The choice was between a slow canoe ride through more of the same, or a roller coaster. Americans chose the roller coaster.” A lot of things have been made clear. The most significant is that as things were going, the roles of the president and Congress had been largely diminished in recent years. Unelected bureaucrats in the U.S. Treasury were in charge of...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt joined Fox News host Lara Trump for her first sit-down television interview since officially starting her historic role with the Trump administration.

Palestinian armed group Hamas published a video of now-released hostages, chronicling their final moments in captivity. In a shocking twist, the video also featured snippets of Israelis still being held by Hamas. The two hostages spoke on camera as well. Hamas released six living hostages on February 22, as part of the final swap under terms of the truce’s first phase. However, Israel refused to free Palestinian prisoners, citing Hamas’ “humiliating release ceremonies” as one of the reasons. Watch the video for full details.

MSNBC‘s evening line-up may soon look quite different from what die-hard viewers have come to expect. The NBCUniversal-backed cable network is expected to move the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele to its 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, and the group on Mondays will lead two hours, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The move will have direct implications for Joy Reid, the anchor who currently fills 7 p.m. She is expected to host her last show on MSNBC this week.

The Senate GOP has been working in overdrive to confirm key officials for President Donald Trump's administration faster than his predecessors. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Republicans in the upper chamber have successfully approved 18 of the 22 Cabinet positions. The most recent was former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was confirmed to lead Trump's Small Business Administration (SBA). With the successful confirmation of Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick last week, the 17th official put in place, Republicans and Trump officially outpaced former President Joe Biden, who had just seven nominees confirmed at the same point in 2021. Senate...

Germans are going to the polls after an intense election campaign dominated by their country's faltering economy and a succession of deadly attacks that have made migration and security a focal issue. Friedrich Merz, the 69-year-old conservative leader, is in pole position to become Germany's next chancellor, in a vote closely watched in Europe and the US. He promises to fix most problems in four years - a tall order for Europe's biggest economy and a creaking infrastructure. If Merz's Christian Democrats (CDU) win, he will need to forge an alliance with at least one other party, most likely Olaf...

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former CIA Director and current MSNBC analyst John Brennan claimed it was "absurd" to suggest that President Trump fired C.Q. Brown, who Biden had appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, because he had a woke agenda.Absurd? Really? Brown posted a video: "I'll lead conversations on racism, diversity, and inclusion." Signed Memo ordering quotas reducing the percentage of whites in the Air Force. Said, "I hire for diversity." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Over the last few weeks, Democratic politicians haven’t been able to go out in public without members of their own base shouting at them to “do something” or “do your jobs”—meaning something, anything, that’s not just tweeting that Trump’s latest executive order is unconstitutional, or that Trump is bad. Unfortunately, the majority of the party’s leadership isn’t exactly rising to the challenge. For example, on Tuesday, in response to a recent Fox News segment about how the right has swallowed up the media ecosystem, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy—who holds a Senate leadership position—simply conceded that “we are cooked.” Helpful! Since...

President Donald Trump celebrated his whirlwind first four weeks back in the Oval Office in a speech before the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday afternoon, mentioning what he called "flagrant scams" uncovered by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. "I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency — you probably haven't heard of it — which is now waging war on government waste, fraud and abuse. And Elon is doing a great job," Trump said at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center Saturday in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside the nation's capital. "He's doing a...

A shooting just outside Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico left one airman dead and another hospitalized early Saturday morning, the Air Force said. Members of the 377th Security Forces Squadron responded to an incident at the Albuquerque base’s Truman Gate around 2 a.m. Saturday. The airman was found dead at the scene, the Air Force said. The second wounded airman was shot in the hand and has been released from the hospital, the Air Force said in the release. In an update, the Air Force said an incident led to an off-base pursuit that resulted in the shooting....

A top advisor to former President Joe Biden said the Democratic Party "melted down" after his poor performance in the June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump and insisted Biden should have remained the party's candidate. Biden's rough performance and weak voice at the CNN Presidential Debate sparked immense fear about his re-election odds, and the left's top leaders called on him to withdraw from the race. Biden was replaced as the Democratic candidate by Vice President Kamala Harris less than a month later on July 21. She lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election. "Now, lots of people...
