Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) said President Trump’s MAGA movement is “eating itself” after conservative commentator Tucker Carlson praised the progressive while tearing into his GOP opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers. El-Sayed was asked Monday about Carlson’s comments on the race earlier this month, when the former Fox News host said he “wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint” and propped up El-Sayed’s “Trumpian” campaign.

President Trump defaulted to his usual posture towards British leaders with whom he has little, politically, in common, offering kind compliments, yet...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Donald Trump Jr. used his proximity to the presidency for financial benefit, after his recent wedding party was partially bankrolled by a Russian oligarch. In a letter sent Tuesday, Curtis called on the committee to subpoena Trump Jr. over his business dealings, relationships with foreign individuals and entities, gifts or other benefits he has received and any instances in which his relationship to President Donald Trump, a Republican, “was invoked or understood to provide value.” Curtis called for the same scrutiny...

Artificial intelligence, the super technology with humanlike capabilities, will be referred to by the United States as “super intelligence,” President Donald Trump said Tuesday. Trump made the announcement during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly after he and the White House polled the public on X and Truth Social about potential alternative names. “From this point forward, ⁠all ⁠of United ⁠States documents, ​and hopefully the world’s, will ​be ⁠changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’ as ⁠opposed to ‘artificial.’ So it’s super ⁠intelligence,” Trump said.

Many of us have them in our homes and at offices — but a neuroscientist warns that one household staple may be a major threat to our health. Glen Jeffery, a professor of neuroscience at University College London, is sounding the alarm about what he calls a “clear and present public health emergency” that no one seems to be talking about. He has gone so far as to compare the item to asbestos — once widely used in building materials before people realized it can cause issues like mesothelioma and lung cancer. The health threat? Energy-efficient light-emitting diode bulbs, which...

Thousands of anti-regime protesters gathered outside the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan on Tuesday to demand an end to Iran’s execution of political prisoners and to establish a free democracy in the country. The demonstration, led by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), called for world leaders at the UN General Assembly to act and force the Islamic republic to end the latest surge in executions, with at least 100 political prisoners currently on death row. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the NCRI, slammed the presence of Iranian leaders, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, at the UN meeting as she...

Britain may have to increase its Channel deal payments to France to nearly £1bn because it is such a big draw for migrants, the head of an inquiry has warned. Sébastien Huyghe, the chairman of a French parliamentary commission into Channel agreements, said that if the small boats crisis continued, France could demand an increase to the current £662m three-year deal to "more than €1bn" (£930m) – a rise of 40 per cent. He admitted that he was "not sure" the UK would agree to such an increase in funding, but he maintained it bore "significant responsibility" for the current...

The Fall of Man (Theodore Poulakis, 1692)At 96 years of age, Thomas Sowell is one of the most formidable minds in contemporary American thought. Without any desire to bask in the media spotlight, he personifies integrity as a scholar, a luminary whose body of work combines empirical rigor, historical breadth, and an unyielding commitment to human dignity irrespective of race. His insistence on true meritocracy—judging individuals by their capacities and achievements rather than by collective grievances or engineered outcomes—marks him as a rational defender of the individual against the sentimental collectivism that has come to dominate elite discourse. Sowell’s philosophy...

Two University of Mississippi students were found dead Monday in separate incidents – and packaged kratom was found at both scenes, authorities said. The probe into the mysterious deaths is being led by the Lafayette County Metro Narcotics team, who said Tuesday the cases are not believed to be connected. “Law enforcement is currently conducting two separate death investigations. At this time, we have no confirmed evidence indicating that the two deaths are connected,” the agency said. Kratom, a herbal substance that acts as a stimulant in small doses and an opioid-like sedative in higher amounts, was found in both...

Trump on Iran: I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness for generations? But I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election, because...

Polls continue to dole out depressing numbers for Republicans, with several Senate races defying earlier predictions and Democrats radically outperforming how then-Vice President Kamala Harris fared against President Donald Trump in 2024. The polling numbers for Trump and the GOP have been brutal as his second term has progressed, with Americans’ views on his handling of the economy and immigration — topics on which he had previously outpolled Democrats — taking a dive. The president’s war in Iran has been another issue dragging down his polling, specifically because of its impact on gas prices. Several recent polls have had shocking...

President Donald Trump has said he is working on a “massive” deal to buy fertiliser from Belarus, pivoting away from main supplier Canada amid an escalating trade dispute, and moving instead toward an ally of Russia. “The United States is working on a massive deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus,” Trump said on his Truth Social network. “The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our farmers and ranchers.” In recent weeks Trump has stepped up his trade war with Canada, a long-term US ally and...
