The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court on Friday morning, asking the justices to allow it to enforce an executive order that directs government officials to quickly remove, without a hearing, noncitizens who are designated as members of a Venezuelan gang. The order relies on a 1798 law that until now has only been invoked during wartime. Earlier this month, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg barred the federal government from removing any of the alleged members of the gang, or anyone else, under the Alien Enemies Act. In 40-page filing, Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris told the justices...

Peter Navarro, a senior trade adviser to President Trump, said the president’s tariff plan will raise more than $6 trillion in federal revenue over the next decade. Navarro joined “Fox News Sunday,” where host Shannon Bream noted that Americans are concerned that Trump’s tariffs are going to raise the price of everyday goods. “First of all, we’re going to raise about $100 billion with the auto tariffs alone. What we’re going to do is, in the new tax bill that has to pass, it absolutely has to pass, we’re going to provide tax benefits, tax credits, to the people who...

The lavish Atlanta home where Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) resides brims with luxury details: Marketed as a "one of one custom home that effortlessly merges history & luxury," the five-bedroom home, built in 2022, went on the market for over a million dollars later that year and sold quickly—not to Warnock, but to Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he still serves as part-time senior pastor when he's not representing the state of Georgia in Congress. The DeKalb County home came equipped with a plethora of luxury accommodations, including a 100-bottle wine fridge, a Bluetooth-enabled stainless steel cooking range, custom crown...

It should be clear by now that Democrats want Elon Musk dead. Elon Musk is arguably the greatest mind of our generation, and yet Democrats are running a campaign against him to get him killed. Where are the sane Democrats? Are there any left? When will they condemn these death threats? On Sunday night, Elon Musk told an audience in Wisconsin that he is receiving 17,000 death threats a day! Democrats want him dead because he supported President Trump and is cutting government spending. The left’s lies are going to get someone hurt. Elon Musk: It’s a super big deal....

A U.S. armored vehicle that went missing in Lithuania has been retrieved from a swamp after a six-day search but there is still no information about the fate of the four American soldiers who were on board, Lithuanian officials said Monday. “The armored vehicle was pulled ashore at 4:40 a.m., the towing operation is complete, Lithuanian Military Police and US investigators continue their work,” Defense Minister Dovilė Šakalienė said Monday morning in a post on Facebook. The soldiers were on a training exercise at the massive General Silvestras Žukauskas training ground in the town of Pabradė when they and their...

Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk was walking alone Tuesday night to meet friends at a dinner where they would break their 13-hour Ramadan fast when six plainclothes officers suddenly encircled her on the street near her apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts, surveillance video shows. The 30-year-old shrieked in fear when an officer in a hooded sweatshirt and hat grabbed her by the wrists as another pulled out a concealed badge on a lanyard and confiscated her cell phone. Soon afterward, the swarm of officers who had surrounded her on the sidewalk pulled cloth coverings over their mouths and noses, some...

– “The brave nations and the proud youth” of the region are labeled as “proxy” forces by western officials, “whereas the Israeli regime is the only proxy force in the region, which works on behalf of colonialist forces to violate the territories and sovereignties of countries.” – “The Zionist regime, as a proxy of the colonizers, incites fire, commits genocide, and perpetrates crimes, and if it gets the chance, it violates [the territories of] other countries, just as it is violating Syria’s today.” – “If others defend their rights or their land, they are labeled ‘terrorists;’ yet, [it is] the...

@PeterSchiff During the months leading up to the 2008 GFC, the government and mainstream financial media remained clueless about what was obviously coming. They are making the same mistake again. Tariffs mean fewer goods will come into the country, and fewer dollars will go out. More money chasing fewer goods means higher domestic prices. This is an economic certainty. As import prices rise sharply, demand will increase for domestically produced goods, sending those prices higher too. Meanwhile, lower trade deficits will result in fewer dollars being recycled into U.S. bonds, sending long-term interest rates higher. Higher consumer prices and long-term...

A Florida bus driver fatally shot two passengers during an early-hours ride — even though drivers are banned from being armed, authorities said. The unidentified Metrobus driver opened fire when a fight broke out about someone bringing a bicycle on the bust just before 3 a.m. Sunday in Miami Gardens, sources told the Miami Herald. It was not immediately clear if the shot passengers — neither of whom have been publicly identified — were both involved in the fight, the paper said. Both were rushed to a nearby hospital but could not be saved. “I was just coming from the...

PHOENIX (AP) — The Democratic base is angry. Not just at President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the “Make America Great Again” movement. Rank-and-file Democrats are mad at their own leaders and increasingly agitating to replace them. Arizona Democrats pushed out their party chair, and Georgia Democrats are on their way to doing the same. And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York postponed a book tour in the face of protests amid calls from progressives that he face a primary challenge. The losing party after a presidential election often spends time in the wilderness, but the visceral anger...

CNN’s Scott Jennings detailed Sunday why Republicans need to “come to grips” with their “new reality” of lower propensity voters ahead of key elections in Florida and Wisconsin. Key special elections for two House seats in Florida and a seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court have Republicans eyeing the chance to gain more ground ahead of the midterm elections. Jennings, on “State of the Union,” highlighted to the panel how Republicans were able to gain new traction among lower propensity voters but must now motivate them to go out and vote despite their past record of not doing so....

ames Boasberg isn’t just some random DC judge—he’s the Deep State’s go-to gavel. He’s a loyal foot soldier in the left’s lawfare machine. When the Swamp needs a ruling to punish the right and protect their own, Boasberg always delivers. And nowhere is that more obvious than in the case of the very mysterious character Ray Epps. ..... So, the guy who helped lead the charge on January 6 and who, for years, somehow avoided the DOJ’s obsession with J6 prosecutions while grandmas and peaceful protesters were hunted down and dragged through the mud ended up getting the lightest slap...

When the Trump administration ended funding for seven Australian universities, the schools down under panicked and urged the prime minister to hold an emergency meeting to figure out how they would stay funded. It might not surprise you to know that your tax dollars are funding research in foreign universities. However, you might be surprised by just how much American funds are used to finance universities around the world, even in supposedly developed nations. The cut in funding could leave a $600 million hole in the efforts of Australian researchers, with the U.S. being the largest research partner of Australia....

In 2024, the number of Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens in the United States increased significantly, reaching 2.1 million from 270,000 in 2021. This increase has sparked discussions about potential fraud within the Social Security system. Non-citizens can legally obtain Social Security Numbers through various pathways, such as asylum claims and work authorization, which allows them access to certain benefit programs like Medicaid. Authorities are investigating these trends to address any fraudulent activities and ensure the integrity of the system

BANGKOK — Chinese rescuers have freed six people from the rubble of an earthquake in Myanmar, including a child and a pregnant woman, Chinese state media reported Monday, placing Beijing at the forefront of an international rescue effort from which the United States has been largely absent.
