MS NOW’s Chris Hayes continued his vile and disgusting opposition to the current war against Iran on Friday. It is not that Hayes is opposed to the war, but rather how he expresses his opposition. The All In host essentially declared that the U.S. is not differentiating between civilians and combatants, while former colleague Mehdi Hasan accused the crew of USS Charlotte of being worse than Nazis after the torpedoing of the Iranian frigate Dena. Hayes and Hasan were discussing reports that suggest the U.S. is responsible for the strike that hit an Iranian girls' school that resulted in many...

The Supreme Court struck down the majority of President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs in February, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren isn’t letting the Administration weasel out of paying back American taxpayers. “If your Administration is successful in its campaign to avoid paying back illegally collected tariffs, it would amount to a theft in broad daylight from each and every American family that has paid the price of your failed economic agenda,” Warren said in a Wednesday statement. Per her office’s estimates, the tariffs have cost families about $1,700 each. The Supreme Court on February 20 ruled against the tariffs 6-3, arguing...

They reveal the extent to which Wyss, a foreign national, is central to anti-Trump resistance efforts. The Berger Action Fund, one of two nonprofits Wyss has used to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing causes, gave a total of $57.3 million to 11 activist groups between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, the disclosures show....

President Donald Trump’s disdain for the Constitution is evident in his launching a war in Iran without any semblance of congressional approval. Congress must act quickly to protect its role in a Constitution that was meant to prevent such unilateral action by the president.

Ali Akbar Shdid teaches engineering at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, the city with the highest Muslim population in the United States. He shared a video on his Instagram after US and Israeli joint forces struck Iran on Saturday, condemning the attack and honoring the 'pure soul' of the Ayatollah.

'He thought that by killing him he's going to make the believers...

Jean-Noel Barrot was reacting to a statement by the U.S. State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, which stated that "reports, corroborated by the French Minister of the Interior, that Quentin Deranque was killed by left-wing militants, should concern us all." The State Department said in its post on X that "violent radical leftism is on the rise and its role in Quentin Deranque's death demonstrates the threat it poses to public safety. We...

The country’s most famous “Maryland Man” is allowed to stay free in Maryland for the foreseeable future, thanks to a federal judge’s ruling. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, appointed in 2016 by then-President Barack Obama, declared Tuesday that the government had presented no viable plan for deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, according to the Associated Press. Unless a higher court intervenes, the Salvadoran national can’t be held while he faces an indictment charging him with human smuggling.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cannot re-detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia because a 90-day detention period has expired and the government has no viable plan for deporting him, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. The Salvadoran national’s case has become a focal point in the immigration debate after he was mistakenly deported to his home country last year. Since his return, he has been fighting a second deportation to a series of African countries proposed by Department of Homeland Security officials. The government “made one empty threat after another to remove him to countries in Africa with no real chance of...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., alleged at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that U.S. aid to the Jewish state enabled a genocide by Israel.

Republican officials and candidates in Texas have shifted their rhetorical attack lines from the border fears that dominated recent elections to the state’s growing Muslim population, with language that echoes the aftermath of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric has unnerved many in the state’s Islamic community while sending signals to Republicans outside Texas who might be searching for rhetorical targets now that the nation’s southwestern border has grown quiet. Ads for Senator John Cornyn of Texas have touted his fight against “radical Islam.” Texas Republican lawmakers created a “Sharia-Free America Caucus” in Congress....

A former Florida police chief said he received a call from Donald Trump in 2006 in which the now-president told him "everyone" knows about the disgraced financier's behaviour, according to an FBI document released in the latest batch of Epstein files.The document is a written record of a 2019 FBI interview with the former Palm Beach police chief, who alleges Trump called him after the department launched an investigation into Epstein and said: "Thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this."The officer's name is redacted, but the document identifies the interview subject as the Palm Beach...

Kiros entered the United States legally as a child after her family won the Diversity Visa Lottery. The modern immigrant-activist position is simple: America is good enough to take from, but not good enough to govern itself. Her campaign materials and public statements outline that position without qualification.

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News. The official statistics contained in the DHS document, which had not been previously reported publicly, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's far-reaching deportation operations across the U.S. The internal DHS figures undermine frequent assertions by the Trump administration that its crackdown on illegal immigration is primarily targeting...

Former Democratic state Rep. Bakari Sellers of South Carolina said Friday that “a more aggressive approach” was needed to “remove” President Donald Trump and his supporters. Trump came under fire over a deleted video restating his claims about the 2020 election that included two seconds of a derogatory meme aimed at former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama. Sellers told former CNN host Don Lemon during an episode of “The Don Lemon Show” that a president willing to take “corrective action” against the “MAGA movement” would be needed. “Like this is a little bit controversial with my...

Top U.S. intelligence agencies are cooperating with Kurt Olsen, who worked with Trump to undermine the results of the 2020 election. President Donald Trump has directed top U.S. spy agencies to share sensitive intelligence about the 2020 election with his former campaign lawyer, known for pushing debunked theories of electoral fraud, according to four people with knowledge of the effort. The intelligence that top U.S. spy agencies are furnishing to Kurt Olsen — now a temporary government employee in the White House — is meant to support a probe he is leading into whether Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was...

A foreign-born Democrat went completely mask-off during an interview that is going viral with a borderline genocidal statement against white people. Social media users are in a total frenzy after discovering an interview Texas State Rep. Gene Wu (D-Houston) did with liberal journalist Jose Antonio Vargas of Define American back in December 2024. At one point in the discussion, Vargas asked Wu what it would take for Democrats to start winning again in Texas and across America. His response was horrifying.
