The plot to attack the White House’s UFC Freedom 250 event Sunday involved at least 12 suspects across the US who adhered to an “accelerationist” ideology and hoped to bring down American capitalism, according to federal law enforcement sources. The FBI foiled their plans by infiltrating a Signal chat group planning the explosive attack — with a parent of one kid in the messaging platform reporting it to the police, sources told The Post. The suspects are in at least four states — California, Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska. They were plotting to gather in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to launch an explosive...

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is investigating what happened to $30 million it sent to a Muslim nonprofit to help resettle Afghan refugees in the US, The Post has learned. The department is the latest to look into the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) amid accusations it has ties to dangerous groups in foreign nations including terror group Hamas.

Kennedy Jr. — claims it has received information that “raises concerns about the business practices and...

Essayli: ‘Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities’ First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed Friday that his office is conducting multiple active election fraud investigations in coordination with the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. In a public statement, Essayli said: “Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities.

The gap between what was promised and what was built is the defining political fact of modern California I moved to California in 1990. The economy was on an upswing. Teachers, firefighters, and nurses could still afford to buy a house. Thirty-five years later, after uninterrupted progressive governance, the median home sale price in Los Angeles County sits at roughly $910,000. Gas averages over $6.15 a gallon statewide—not because of some distant conflict, but because California’s regulatory apparatus drove its own refineries out of business. Net domestic out-migration hit 288,600 in 2025; the sixth consecutive year California led the nation...

A Newport Beach family is living in fear after the man who murdered their grandmother 30 years ago may be considered for parole. Shannon Wadsworth, the victim's granddaughter, is speaking out, pleading for Gov. Gavin Newsom to block the release. "I'm terrified. My entire family is terrified," Wadsworth said.

In the 1990's, teenager James Dennis Lynch made headlines after pleading guilty to the...

AB 1608 would rename and expand the powers of the High-Speed Rail Authority’s Inspector General while creating broad exemptions to withhold records California’s high-speed rail project, originally pitched to voters as a $33.5 billion endeavor under Proposition 1A in 2008, has spiraled into a staggering taxpayer nightmare with estimates now exploding as high as $231 billion — a more than 700% increase. Against this backdrop of relentless cost overruns, Assembly Democrats are advancing legislation critics say is explicitly designed to conceal the extent of the waste and shield the failing project from public accountability.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Wednesday that the state of California -- for now -- cannot enforce two state laws that require all law enforcement officials, including federal and immigration agents, to wear visible identification while banning them from wearing facial coverings. The panel granted an injunction requested by the U.S. government, saying the No Vigilantes Act and No Secret Police Act attempt "to directly reregulate the United States." The No Vigilantes Act or SB 805 was signed into law last year to prevent civilian-style or rogue enforcement after immigration agents, without clear identification in...

U..S. District Judge Roger Benitez ordered California to pay $4.52 million in attorney's fees to the victorious plaintiffs who challenged California's so-called gender secrecy policies that hide students' gender identity from their parents and force teachers to withhold that information. Tuesday's order blames California's "litigation intransigence" for the staggering sum. Early in litigation, after Benitez denied their motion to dismiss, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and Board of Education tried to "sidestep the effect" of his orders by asking for judgment on the pleadings, then filed new motions to dismiss and for judgment on the pleadings after the plaintiffs...

A California school district is teetering on the verge of collapse after out of control spending and hiring. Santa Rosa City Schools, which are about 1.5 hours north of San Francisco, have been reprimanded by Sonoma County education chiefs for blowing stacks of cash. Staff saw bumper pay packets and brought in too many new workers for the revenue it was generating, authorities said. Meanwhile the district has seen student enrollment dwindle from 16,000 in 2016 to under 12,000 last year across 24 schools in the region. In a stark warning, Michael Fine, CEO of the Fiscal Crisis and Management...
