In a shocking video, AOC used her political platform to call for her fellow Democrats to disrupt ICE’s work of detaining illegal immigrants, all the while staunchly defending members of Congress who broke the law by entering an ICE detention center without permission, leading conservatives to call for AOC’s arrest online. For context, in a now-viral video shared on May 11, 2025, AOC spoke out in defense of several fellow members of Congress after they came under scrutiny for reportedly trespassing at an ICE detention center in New Jersey alongside a New Jersey Mayor on May 9, 2025. Furthermore, AOC...

Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that she was training Americans to help take down a potential “dictatorship” of President Donald Trump. At her resistance lab training, Jayapal said, “It appears that the Trump administration is willing to ignore judicial decisions and so that brings us to you in this room. It brings us to the people that is really, the bulwark, the wall against the crumbling of democracy.” Maddow said, “Help me understand this idea of the resistance lab and what you’re talking about in practical terms at these events.” Jayapal said, “Yeah...

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Sunday that Rep. Jasmine Crockett should “tread carefully” when voicing her opposition to Elon Musk and Tesla. Ms. Bondi said the Texas Democrat has called for “attacks on Elon Musk” to protest his role in cutting government spending as part of the Department of Government Efficiency. “She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk and we are going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Ms. Bondi said on Fox News Channel.

DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublicanThis is the first time I've felt like breaking down. But that means letting them win.Look... I don't know who you are. Unless you're Bill Kristol, I don't know why you hate me so. I gave up a lucrative career to do this. It was never for money.Why am I doing this? I know numbers. I see that my children have no future unless we tame spending. And as we are finding out, taming spending, also means taming the corruption in the government.The numbers don't lie. Look at them, logically. Look at how much of our economy is...

The pain in my father's eyes is a sort of memory seared so thoroughly that I will never forget it. There he was, aged 41, in the back of a police cruiser as I stand outside looking back at him, myself frozen in time. His sharp, deep blue eyes were not onlooking some boyish mishap of mine or expressing a sense of fatherly pride. He sat there, handcuffed, utterly defeated by life. Only moments earlier, on a cold, damp January 2007 day along the hills of East Tennessee, my father and I hastily packed whatever personal belongings we could salvage...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” said the reaction to the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson showed “people’s anger” about the insurance industry. On MSNBC, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said, “You can only push people so far and then they start to take matters into their own hands.” Warren later stated, “Violence is never the answer. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.”

A New York Black Lives Matter leader has called for “black vigilantes” to retaliate following Daniel Penny’s acquittal on Monday. Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, faced charges of second-degree manslaughter and negligent homicide in connection with the 2023 death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway after Neely was threatening passengers. "Just like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes,” New York BLM co-founder Hank Newsome said in the wake of the verdict. "People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud. How about we do the same when they attempt...

As Jim Hoft reported earlier, New York City subway hero Daniel Penny today was set free by a jury of his peers for killing a deranged felon named Jordan Neely on a New York City subway back in 2023. The jury found Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Neely​. A second-degree manslaughter charge was previously dismissed by Judge Maxwell Wiley after the jury declared a deadlock Friday, indicating they could not reach a unanimous decision on it. Penny pleaded not guilty to all charges. Following the verdict, racial agitators erupted in anger. This included Jordan...

A grad student in Michigan received a threatening response during a chat with Google's AI chatbot Gemini. In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults, Google's Gemini responded with this threatening message: "This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. Please die. Please." The 29-year-old grad student...

t is truly mind blowing how certain elements of our society are ramping up the vitriol ahead of this election. There is apparently nothing to which they won’t stoop in their drive to divide. Democrat political operative James Carville, who reminds me of the male equivalent of Cruella Deville, says Democrats need to “take up arms” if Trump wins. Wait a minute, I thought it was the MAGA crowd who were the “election deniers” and the “insurrectionists,” no? Despite this over-the-top rhetoric from a well-known individual on a major corporate media network, if you google “James Carville calls for armed...

I am sure it is carefully calculated to not meet the legal standard of incitement, but it is crystal clear that the establishment wants Donald Trump to be the target of yet another assassination attempt. I'm not joking or exaggerating. As they keep trying to assert that Trump uses rhetoric outside the bounds of legitimate political discourse (and I do wish he would tone it down a bit) the Democrats have ramped up their hateful rhetoric to an appalling degree. MSNBC is the worst, of course, but hardly the only network to platform what can only be described as hateful...

The leader of Hezbollah, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, has now called for revenge against Israelis and Jews around the world, for the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh, which he claims was done by Israel. It does not matter, of course, who actually pulled off the assassination. Israel and the Jews would be blamed by Hezbollah even if Syria had been responsible. Blame Israel and the Jews for everything is what Hezbollah always does. In the past, Hezbollah has taken revenge against what it claimed to be Israeli actions by murdering Jewish school children in Argentina. Once again it is threatening to attack...

Undercover video of potential criminal acts being planned. These organizers and activists are talking about sending butyric acid (the smell of human vomit) into the ventilation system and setting off fire alarms and sprinklers at a Trump inaugural ball later this week.

Last week, we gathered with other scholars at Ground Zero for a summit on terrorism and political violence. The mood was somber, not only because of reflections on 9/11 but also because of pained predictions of violence to come. It would have surprised nobody in attendance had they been told another assassination attempt against the former president would occur days later. This was, of course, not merely the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump. There have been many more plots over the past several years — aimed at politicians of all stripes — that never reached the point of gunfire...

The Ukrainian government needs to find a “fine line” that would allow it to both protect free speech and fight Kremlin propaganda, a top official of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe said in an interview with the Kyiv Post. There has been a debate in Ukraine on whether pro-Kremlin media, which are inciting Russia’s war against Ukraine and fabricating lies, should be banned. While some argue that they are a threat to national security, others condemn such measures as an attack on free speech. “The Ukrainian government needs to find a very fine line with the help...

Remember Obama’s fist bump, the tap—the bump—he’d give his followers? Remember how absurd and fake—and staged—the gesture was? Compare that to this: President Trump punching the air after being shot and shouting, “Fight, fight, fight.” No other image is as stark. No other comparison is as clear. No other contrast is as sharp. No other words are necessary either, because we have before us a real profile of courage. We have a spontaneous and remarkable act of presidential courage. We have President Trump standing taller and stronger than those who guard him; than all who failed to protect him; than...

Free speech is an absolute right. Anyone should be able to say any opinion they hold regardless of how distasteful, offensive, scary, obscene, etc... However, you are also responsible for the speech. If were to say, "I hate redheads.", that may be offensive to some but it is my opinion and should be legal. Same thing if I was talking about blacks, jews, muslims, etc.... If I were to say, "I wish all redheads would die."... same scenario. If I were to say, "I wish someone would kill that particular redhead." That MAY still be legal. However, if someone were...

“Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation,” Joe Biden tweeted. “He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.” Yesterday he declared, “most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation.” This kind of rhetoric depicting Trump as the ultimate threat had become normalized. Is it any wonder that it was also acted on? There’s a pattern here. A Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire at a Congressional baseball game and brought along a list of House...

We chose the cover image, based on a well-known 1932 Hitler campaign poster, for a precise reason: that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away Herr Hitler’s excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard. After all, he spent 1932 campaigning, negotiating, doing interviews—being a mostly normal politician. But he and his people vowed all along that they would use the tools of democracy to destroy it, and it was only after he was given power that Germany saw his movement’s full face. Today, we at The New Republic think we can...
