On Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said he released the Signal chat among senior national security officials to show that the Trump administration does not take national security seriously. Goldberg said, “When they do something wrong, they go on the attack, and they attack the messenger. You know, and the odd thing about this one is I didn’t really actually do anything. I’d like to claim that I was some bold investigative reporter. All I did was answer a message request from Mike Waltz on Signal and the rest of it just came...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.” “A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.” “I’m focused on...

Starting Tuesday, white men in the United Kingdom will face tougher sentencing than ethnic, cultural, or faith minorities, as well as young people under 25, women, and pregnant women. They used to call this racism. So now, if you are a white man, you can expect more time in prison than a minority person. This is the same country that arrests you for smart-a$$ comments on social media.

President Trump on Sunday ramped up his attack on radical Judge James Boasberg and hinted that he may pull his security clearance. “People are shocked by what is going on with the Court System. I was elected for many reasons, but a principal one was LAW AND ORDER, a big part of which is QUICKLY removing a vast Criminal Network of individuals, who came into our Country through the Crooked Joe Biden Open Borders Policy! These are dangerous and violent people, who kill, maim and, in many other ways, harm the people of our Country. The Voters want them OUT,...

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is no local, inconsequential election in a battleground state. “This Supreme Court election is ground zero. Every conservative voice should be sounding the alarm. If Brad Schimel doesn’t win on April 1st, the GOP will lose two House seats in 2026—and with them, the majority.” (X) “The Democrats are trying to redraw the districts in Wisconsin… to remove two house seats. That’s what this whole Supreme Court Justice race is about. So I really want to emphasize to people out there, if you’re in Wisconsin.. get out and vote for Brad Schimel.” (Elon Musk) The...

“Snow White” is pretty much dead now. No friends from the forest can save her. Yesterday, the Disney debacle finished in third place, losing to two new releases, “Working Man” and “The Chosen.” These two are B movies at best, but managed to trounce “Snow White,” which now has just $56 million in the till. Everything about “Snow White” is cursed at this point. Disney’s only shot is to somehow revive the Pasek/Paul songs next winter for the Oscars. But it will probably be too late for that

House Minority Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just said the quiet part out loud about the upcoming election in Wisconsin. During a Democratic National Committee update broadcaster on Friday afternoon, Jeffries talked with DNC Chair Ken Martin about the importance of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday. Jeffries explained: In Wisconsin, that’s a 50-50 race, because we know Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state, and we have a strong Democratic candidate. Whoever wins is going to determine who has the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why is that important? Because there are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state,...

Kolomoisky has been making use of his ambiguous position as the future president’s business partner since the very start of Zelensky’s election campaign, but this didn’t prevent Zelensky from sweeping to victory in the elections. Now, however, the trickster oligarch is becoming increasingly toxic for Zelensky’s team, not only within the country but also abroad. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is still firmly in the honeymoon period of his rule. The former actor’s approval rating hovers around 70 percent; the country’s Western partners have welcomed his plans for reform; stalled relations with Russia have got off the ground once again; and...

The five lives of Volodymyr Zelensky' (2/5). Before his presidency, Zelensky became known in the world of comedy and television at the turn of the millennium and lived in Moscow, where he established links with the country that he is now at war with.

Strolling along the waterfront palaces in January 1998, the small troupe from eastern Ukraine led by Volodymyr Zelensky...

Justin Welby has told the BBC he forgives a serial abuser at the heart of a scandal that led to his resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury. In his first interview since quitting in November last year, Welby said his forgiveness of John Smyth - arguably the most prolific abuser associated with the Church of England - was "irrelevant" and it was more important to help victims "rebuild their lives". Smyth, who died in 2018, attacked more than 100 boys and young men in the UK and Africa over decades. A damning 2024 review found Welby "could and should" have done...

Myanmar's military junta has continued to bomb parts of the war-torn country following the major earthquake there, which has killed more than 1,600 people. The UN has described the attacks as "completely outrageous and unacceptable". Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews told the BBC that it was "nothing short of incredible" that the military was continuing to "drop bombs when you are trying to rescue people" after the earthquake. He called on the military regime, which seized power in a coup nearly four years ago to stop all military operations. "Anyone who has influence on the military needs to step up the...
