When asked if he agrees with scholars who say the U.S. is in a constitutional crisis, Schumer responded, “Yes, I do.” “And democracy is at risk. Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man. He thinks he should be king. He thinks he should do whatever he wants, regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker. The full interview will air on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

Democrats may be in for a wake-up call in New Hampshire as early polling suggests Republicans could easily win a Senate seat in the blue state. Former Republican Governor Chris Sununu leads Democratic Congressman Chris Pappas (D-NH) by a sizable 53% to 44% margin in a hypothetical 2026 Senate race, according to a newly released poll. While neither Sununu nor Pappas has formally declared their candidacy, both are expected to run, and the numbers show an early advantage for the GOP in a state that has leaned Democratic in recent cycles. If these figures hold, it would represent a major...

More than half of Gaza's residents would consider leaving the Gaza Strip if given the chance, according to a poll published on Friday morning by the British Telegraph and conducted by the Gallup Institute. Electricity and fuel shortages, access to water and physical security were among the reasons cited. The poll found that 39 percent said they would stay in Gaza and had no plans to leave. Another 38 percent said they would leave temporarily, but return in the future. An additional 14 percent said they would leave permanently, a significant number considering the fear of admitting plans to leave....

Investigative journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed reported on Thursday that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is involved in an invite-only club for elite judges in Washington, DC. The elitist club America Inns of Court also includes the radical America-hating judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amit Mehta—all hard-left judges and Trump-haters. John Roberts has been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court since September 2005.

The newly declassified JFK file revealed that former CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton testified under oath in an executive session before the Church Committee in 1975 about deep intelligence ties between the United States and Israel. The testimony, given in a top-secret executive session, was part of the Senate Select Committee’s broader investigation into intelligence operations. Though much of the session was focused on Cold War espionage and Soviet defections, one line of questioning zeroed in on allegations that U.S. intelligence may have assisted Israel’s covert nuclear program. Angleton, who served from the agency’s founding until late 1974, confirmed a...

VIDEOIt's a 21st Century type "sex" scandal that does not exactly involve real sex and it couldn't happen to a more deserving person than Paid DNC Shill Harry J. Sisson who is now in danger of losing his Democrat money flow. The funny thing is that Harry's very very close friend Chrissy acts as his attorney and proves himself to be the world's WORST lawyer by not only confirming that the allegations against Harry are TRUE but he also got Harry to admit that he is a LIAR. Even worse, Chrissy implicated himself in Harry's crimes by admitting he was...

Sam Corcos, a DOGE deputy and special adviser to the U.S. Treasury Department, sat down with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Thursday and unloaded a jaw-dropping exposé on the IRS and Treasury. Corcos, the co-founder and CEO of Levels—a health-tech company that uses real-time biological data to help people make smarter food choices—was brought in to assess the IRS’s so-called “modernization” effort. What he found? An unaccountable leviathan hemorrhaging of tax dollars. “A huge part of our government is collecting taxes. We cannot perform the basic functions of tax collection without paying a toll to all these contractors. We really...

The husband of former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) allegedly bilked taxpayers out of more than $20,000 in a COVID loan scheme and used the money for his “personal benefit and enjoyment,” according to the DC US Attorney’s Office. Cortney Merritts, 46, was charged in a federal indictment Thursday with two counts of wire fraud related to allegedly fraudulent applications he filed with the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021 that allowed him to collect – and never repay – government funds from the pandemic-era Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Merritts received an $8,500...

So, according to this must-read thread below: The Peace Institute, a sinister US government agency that was just raided by DOGE and the FBI, was in cahoots with radical activists who have instigated recent campus uprisings. Anarchist protest toolkits “created and used” by “Beautiful Trouble” and cohorts including Lisa Fithian, “a lifelong advocate for violent protests, abolishing the police, dismantling the state [and who] guided Columbia University students to break into its building” were shared on USIP’s website as models for “change” and “peace.”

There was an oft-repeated message in Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell’s press conference on Wednesday: Tariffs will raise consumer prices. The U.S. central bank raised its inflation forecast for 2025, as have many economists, due to the expected impact of a trade war initiated by the Trump administration. “A good part of it is coming from tariffs,” Powell said of the Fed’s elevated inflation estimate. “I do think with the arrival of the tariff inflation, further progress may be delayed,” Powell said. His statement comes at a time when pandemic-era inflation has gradually declined but hasn’t yet been fully tamed...

A staggering $41 billion in climate funds may be unaccounted for, and the World Bank is under fire for its questionable record-keeping practices. With such a large amount of money at stake, questions are being raised about the impact on vital environmental and wildlife conservation projects. Could the lack of transparency and oversight undermine efforts to protect our planet’s most vulnerable ecosystems?

Any false claim by the UMaine can, and will, result in onerous and even potentially criminal financial liability,' the USDA warned.. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday that the University of Maine System (UMS) has agreed to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order to keep transgender athletes out of women's sports. UMS, a network of eight public universities in Maine, was subject to a temporary pause in funding from the USDA last week during an ongoing battle between the state and the federal government over trans inclusion in women's and girls sports. The funding was reinstated just days...

From Our Special Correspondent. WHITE HOUSE, Va., Friday, March 17, 1865. I reached this point at an early hour this morning, after having traveled over thirteen counties of the State, with the cavalry expedition commanded by Maj.-Gen. PHILIP H. SHERIDAN. Some of the substantial results of this expedition have doubtless are this been made known through official sources; but, notwithstanding this, the details which I furnish exclusively, will be read with interest by every person loyal to the Union cause. For nineteen days, Gen. SHERIDAN has roamed almost at will with his well-disciplined troopers throughout that portion of Virginia north...

A veteran FBI agent who blew the whistle on what he saw as political meddling in the bureau’s work was arrested this week by federal authorities while attempting to board an international flight at New York City’s JFK Airport. Jonathan Buma, who had worked for the bureau for 15 years, stands accused of illegally disclosing classified records in his upcoming tell-all book about his career. He drew scrutiny during Trump’s first term for reportedly saying during a presentation that he believed Rudy Giuliani may have been compromised by a Russian counter-influence operation—concerns that were immediately shut down by his superiors....

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Thank you for speaking the truth about the timeline of this war with Ukraine. Every news story here in Europe says the same thing. Russia was unprovoked. Never in my entire life have I ever witnessed such outright lies by the press. I do not see the Europeans rising up to overthrow these governments. We are sheep being led to the slaughter. You have forecasted that the euro will no longer exist, and they are rapidly moving to digital currencies, which will be, as you say, for capital control. We will not be able to leave or...

A white couple from West Virginia were collectively sentenced to 375 years in prison for forcing their five adopted black children to work on their farm as “slaves” while being berated with racial slurs. Jeanne Kay Whitefeather received up to 215 years in prison and her husband, Donald Lantz, will serve up to 160 years — the maximum sentence — after the pair were convicted of forced labor, human trafficking and child abuse and neglect in January. “You brought these children to West Virginia, a place that I know as ‘Almost Heaven,’ and you put them in hell. This court...

During his presidency, Joe Biden orchestrated an illegal scheme to manipulate the electoral system, using Executive Order 14019 to funnel federal resources into Democrat-controlled voter registration efforts. This was not merely an overreach; it was a flagrant violation of federal law designed to rig elections in favor of his party. Now, with President Trump back in office, Congress is uncovering the full extent of Biden’s corruption. Led by House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, Republican lawmakers are demanding full transparency and accountability from the federal agencies that participated in this unlawful order. The Biden administration brazenly weaponized taxpayer-funded agencies to...
