A new poll suggests Medicare for All could benefit Republicans in some of the country's most competitive House races, especially as progressive Democrats increasingly embrace the idea. The survey, conducted by Republican polling firm FabrizioWard on behalf of Seniors Matter for America, found that voters in battleground congressional districts would favor a Republican candidate by a 50 percent to 38 percent margin if the Democratic candidate supported replacing existing health coverage with a government-run system. The poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters across 37 House districts rated Toss Up, Lean Republican, or Lean Democrat by the Cook Political Report between August...

The brother of the now-notorious holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder mistrial is speaking out, revealing why he believes his sibling voted the mom criminally responsible for killing her three children. "I don't think religion had anything to do with it," the anonymous juror's brother told the New York Post on Tuesday, September 15, disputing online claims that Catholicism impacted the holdout juror's decision. (The holdout male juror has decided to withhold his identity from the public following the high-profile case's controversial mistrial ruling.) "[He] looked at the case, and he made the call," the brother continued. "For me, that's...

Beoga, the Irish folk band that collaborated on Sheeran's hit Galway Girl, are among four acts that have refused to continue on the tour in solidarity with Macklemore, who was dropped after calling for a "free Palestine". In a statement, Beoga said that Macklemore had been silenced by "Zionist lobbies" and that the group believed in "dialogue as a means of progressing the plight of the Palestinian people". Macklemore, real name Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, was dropped...

A devout Catholic family in Massachusetts had their 15-year-old daughter taken away from them after they refused to refer to her with male pronouns while her school was secretly socially transitioning her behind the parents’ backs. Joseph and Arlene Kutzko haven’t been allowed to see their daughter, Sophie, in nearly two years. Since then, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has housed her in a boys dormitory, put her on birth control pills and antipsychotic medications. On top of this, their daughter — who previously led the parish in saying the Rosary before Mass — has been stripped of...

A Pregnancy Discrimination Lawsuit Against Amazon Four women have filed a class action lawsuit against Amazon, accusing the corporation of refusing them accommodations while they were pregnant.

The women are being represented by the nonprofit A Better Balance and the law firm Emery Celli Brinckerhoff Abady Ward & Maazel. A Better Balance was the chief organization advocating for the passage of the PWFA. The group drew attention to the widespread problem of pregnant...

They say “never meet your heroes…” And if you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ll see why that advice keeps coming up. In one viral thread, people were asked to name celebrities that are portrayed as nice in the media, but are actually jerks in real life. Personal encounters were quickly shared by restaurant staff, airport workers, crew members, and people who just happened to bump into someone famous during their day. Like the time someone claimed Drake got into a screaming match with a restaurant manager. Or the many comments about Kourtney Kardashian being dismissive and rude to service...

Worried what AI will do to the world? Don’t fret — we got a group of woke elitists who will protect us. That’s the pitch from Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei, who says he has found an outside team that can regulate AI and make sure it doesn’t destroy the world. It’s a group of globalists who believe in open borders, genderless pronoun and promote “Effective Altruism,” that believe all the world’s problems can be solved with technology. In a bombshell essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” Amodei argued that leading AI firms should commit to allowing “embedded third-party evaluators”...

In a huge development, disgraced ex-CIA Director John Brennan has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Florida as part of a sprawling grand conspiracy investigation. This federal probe centers around allegations that former Deep State intelligence officials conspired against President Trump, including with the Russia collusion hoax.

Vice President JD Vance told The Post Monday that the Trump administration’s agenda is on the line in the 2026 midterms and Republicans will need their voters to turn out like a presidential year— in order to keep the “crazies” at bay. In an exclusive sitdown aboard Air Force Two, Vance lamented how voters in President Trump’s coalition “haven’t yet shown up for Republicans” in off-year elections to the degree needed — a trend he is trying to reverse to maintain control of Congress. “I really think it’s important to kind of get people to think that … in many...

Did a real Grindr outage take place in Dallas during the 2026 Republican National Convention, which began on Sept. 9, 2026? No, that's not true: A spokesperson for Grindr told Lead Stories it had no outages connected to the convention, and its status page did not show any either. The Downdetector website did show an increase in outage reports nationally on the evening of Sept. 9, 2026, but according to its methodology, the graphs on the service are at least partially based on unvetted user reports and social media posts. The claim appeared in a post by the @factpostnews account...

Toby Newton purchased the four-bedroom Mesa home for $475,000 in 2022, but ran into financial trouble two years later after losing his job and being diagnosed with diabetes, according to the Mesa Tribune. Newton fell behind on his quarterly HOA assessments, which were around $170, eventually owing $977 in fees and interest. “I bought the house and then I got sick,” Newton told...
