Senate Democrats say they want to end the government shutdown but have repeatedly blocked GOP attempts to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as they push for immigration enforcement reforms. On Friday, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said at a news conference following an antisemitic attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in her state that "certainly" Congress must fund DHS. However, Slotkin and most Senate Democrats have voted four times to block DHS funding, including several attempts to temporarily reopen the agency while negotiations continue. Slotkin is just one of several Senate Democrats calling for an end to the shutdown....

After being offline for more than a decade, oil is officially flowing again through the Santa Ynez Pipeline System off the coast of Southern California. The network of pipelines, which pass through Santa Barbara County before ending at Pentland Station in Kern County, restarted Monday following an executive order from President Donald Trump on Friday, which has been seized on by Gavin Newsom. “This is an attempt to illegally restart a pipeline whose operators are facing criminal charges and prohibited by multiple court orders from restarting,” Newsom said in a statement when Trump first announced plans for Sable to resume...

Kentucky senator says he wants to represent 'free-market wing' of Republican Party as alternative to Trump-Vance populismLibertarian-minded Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is leaving the door wide open to a possible 2028 White House run. "We’ll decide after 2026," Paul said in an interview that posted this weekend. Paul ran for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, but dropped out after a distant fifth-place finish in Iowa's Republican caucuses.

Steak ‘n Shake has rolled out its new tater tots cooked in beef tallow, expanding the fast-food chain’s push toward traditional frying methods. The announcement drew attention on social media after the Indianapolis-based company highlighted the ingredient Monday morning in an X post, with commenters praising the move, while others debated whether beef tallow is healthier than vegetable oils. Steak ‘n Shake previously made headlines last year when it announced that its fries would be cooked in beef tallow instead of vegetable oil — part of what the company described as a return to the “authentic way” of frying potatoes....

Three men are in custody after turning themselves in for a stomach-churning assault at a San Jose restaurant that left two Israeli-American victims battered and the community on edge. The suspects Ramon Akoyans, 18, Roma Akoyans, 20, and Bruneil Chamaki, 32, surrendered to San Jose police on Monday, roughly a week after they allegedly targeted two men speaking Hebrew outside Augustine, a restaurant on Santana Row. The broad-daylight attack, which investigators are probing as a potential hate crime, was caught on a video and has since gone viral. Three men, seen wearing black T-shirts, repeatedly pummeled someone on the ground...

Seventeen alleged drug traffickers are facing charges after authorities say they ran a sprawling methamphetamine pipeline that pumped hundreds of pounds of the drug every month across Northern California. Prosecutors in Placer County announced Thursday that the suspects were charged with crimes including conspiracy and transporting large quantities of methamphetamine for sale after an eight-month undercover probe dubbed “Operation Meltdown.” The investigation began in July 2025 when an undercover detective bought several pounds of meth from a suspected dealer in North Auburn, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office. What started as a single case quickly snowballed into what investigators...

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?” The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. John 5:6–8Let us begin by imagining the overwhelming joy of this man,...

On December 27, 2025, a 13-year-old boy named Terrel Byars Jr. was hit and killed by a driver in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh.This past Sunday, protestors and their children walked in the street and deliberately placed themselves in front of oncoming traffic, in the exact same spot, on the exact same road, where Byars was killed.So after a child was hit and killed by a car, parents are encouraging their own children to walk in the same street against oncoming traffic.This is the exact opposite of what these parents should be teaching their children.Shame on these parents.https://triblive.com/local/4-arrested-officer-hurt-when-confrontation-breaks-out-at-west-mifflin-protest/

In late 2022, an ambulance pulled up to a bombed-out apartment building in this village outside Kyiv. Three people emerged. One wore a gray hoodie, another a baseball cap. Both had masks covering their faces. The third was more easily identifiable: He was unmasked, and had one arm and two prosthetic legs, witnesses told Reuters. The masked men carried cardboard stencils from the ambulance and taped them to what had been an interior wall of an apartment before the Russians obliterated the place. Then they pulled out cans of spray paint and got to work. An absurd image appeared in...

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley released his latest video on Monday, uncovering $170 million in fraud in California. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in Democrat-run California. “We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences,” Nick Shirley said. “California’s version of Medicaid called ‘Medi-Cal’ has more than doubled since 2022 from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion in 2026. Their population, however, has not grown exponentially. However, their spending has,” Nick Shirley said. “There has been a 1,000 percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles County,” Nick Shirley said....
