Donald Trump will be blocked from putting a “rightwinger” on the US supreme court, according to Chuck Schumer, the soon-to-be Senate majority leader, in remarks that were a preview of how Democrats intend to wield their power come January.In an interview with the Associated Press, Schumer said Democrats would not confirm “any crappy nominees” to the supreme court, lower courts or Trump’s cabinet.“The bottom line is we’re not going to allow a rightwinger on the court,” Schumer said. Four supreme court justices are in their 70s, and its two most conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, are the oldest...

China’s state-run Global Times wrote in the wake of the U.S. midterms that “the ‘myth’ of Western-style democracy is losing its appeal, even in the West.” The Chinese Communist paper did not explain why it decided to put its own cheap shot of “myth” in scare quotes, as the word was not quoted from any other source, and the point of the editorial was that democracy is mythical because the citizens of the U.S. and other Western nations do not actually believe their votes bring them better government. The Global Times was enthralled with public opinion polls that showed deep...

Of course, it was the Iran war—though I don’t think people, including Vice President JD Vance, are fully putting their finger on why.Fairly close to 100% of the electorate, whether they love or hate Donald Trump, understand him not as somebody to follow into a military campaign of his own impulsive choosing, unprovoked by any national emergency.Though in his arrogance and presumption it would have been hard for any underling to put it to him, there was something else: the unique and sequined nature of his legitimacy.His freakish rise in our politics is so much the reciprocal of the illegitimate...

Yesterday, I told our student leaders in 1,700 chapters that Tuesday night hurt, and that our anger can’t become a retreat. Today, I want to tell Republicans in Congress what that means for them. Republicans control the House and the Senate until noon on January 3rd. Government funding runs out on December 11th, so Congress is coming back to town whether it wants to or not. I know a number of leaders are on Capitol Hill this week drawing up the GOP’s to-do list before the gavels change hands. So let me save them some time. The Pro-Life Generation has...

Nevada voters approved Question 6 on Tuesday, placing a right to abortion in the state constitution and delivering a heartbreaking setback for unborn children and those working to protect them. The measure passed with approximately 63 percent of the vote. It was the second and final required approval after voters first backed it in 2024. The amendment establishes a constitutional right to abortion until fetal viability but essentially up to birth because an abortionist can sign of on late-term abortions for any reason. Abortion has been legal in Nevada up to 24 weeks under a 1990 statute; opponents said the...

President Donald Trump is expected to devote more attention to his presidential library during his final two years in office. With Democrats preparing to take control of Congress in January after their sweeping midterm victories, Trump is expected to focus increasingly on projects he can pursue without congressional approval, CBS News reported Thursday, citing current and former administration advisers. "He undoubtedly recognizes that the library development season opens now, and he will go for it," a senior administration official told CBS News. Another official said Trump will focus on "all things he can control, which means: Building." The president has...

An Instagram post celebrating abortion has exposed the fact that many Americans believe women should avoid having multiple abortions and/or using it as a form of birth control. It also showed the damage that the idea of 'subjective truth' has done to younger generations, leading them to believe that when human life begins is a matter of individual opinion rather than scientific fact. Key Takeaways: * In a recent social media post, a woman expressed support for women who have multiple abortions (which directly and intentionally end the lives of preborn human beings), even saying that there is no such...

Tuesday's election wasn't a blue wave or even a blue tsunami: It was a blue apocalypse.Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who leads the one notable bright spot on the map, referred to the wipeout as "close to an extinction-level event" for the GOP. It was the worst midterm defeat for one party in over a half-century.Much of the postmortem conversation has focused on why this massacre happened. Was it the Iran war? Was it the tariffs? Was it corruption? Was it the "Epstein files" mess?The answer is both simpler and more sweeping: The MAGA movement, which has defined the GOP during...

In a bombshell lawsuit filed Friday morning in Texas federal court in Austin, Colossal accused James Kehler, formerly its vice president of animal sciences and later of BioSynergy, of “dishonesty, greed, and the betrayal of the confidential science at the heart of Colossal’s mission.” The Dallas-based firm – which has so far succeeded in creating “woolly mice” that bear woolly mammoth traits and gray...

A class action lawsuit filed this week accuses the Foundation to Promote Open Society, the central cog in billionaire liberal donor George Soros's behemoth nonprofit network, of conspiring to execute a Chinese-backed scheme to obstruct data center development in Seattle. According to the complaint reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, the alleged scheme has cost workers jobs and subjected their families to harassment. The lawsuit comes amid heightened scrutiny of the growing anti-data center movement, which has largely posed as grassroots, but has ties to deep-pocketed left-wing funders. Data center development was among the most important issues for Americans during...
