Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) recently said, in response to the question of “who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?”: I think the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) that — I think that’s the leader right now. You know, right now our party, is, is governed by the TDS, and now it’s made it virtually impossible, without being punished, as a Democrat, to agree something’s good, or ‘I agree with the other side,’ and I would define that by [Operation] Epic Fury.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, rebuked President Donald Trump on Sunday and said he should keep his "reckless mouth shut" after the president called Democrats the "greatest enemy" in America. "Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democratic Party! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT," the president wrote on Truth Social. CNN's Dana Bash asked Jeffries to react to the statement during Sunday's "State of the Union." "Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed," Jeffries said. Jeffries also spoke...

Damage to a critical Qatari facility is threatening to keep energy prices high around the world even if the war in Iran ends soon in what some analysts are calling an “Armageddon” situation. Qatar’s Las Raffan plant supplies a fifth of the world’s liquefied natural gas, which is used for electricity, heating and cooking – but Iranian strikes have damaged the facility, worsening what is already the largest-ever energy supply disruption. “I woke up this morning and thought, ‘No, please no,’” Anne-Sophie Corbeau, former head of gas analysis at BP now at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, told...

The whole world is in upheaval. Donald Trump is the catalyst of this. A lot of people, both in his base and his opponents, both here in the United States and abroad, blame him. ...

A Maryland man who told federal agents he feared a “fascist takeover” by President Trump has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly showed up at the home of White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought armed with a gun. Colin Demarco, 26, was charged last month with attempted murder, criminal solicitation to commit murder, carrying a concealed weapon and wearing a mask in public to conceal identity, stemming from the Aug 10, 2025, incident, according to the Arlington County Police Department. He is being held without bond and is due to appear in court on...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement flooded Minneapolis, Shane Mantz dug his Choctaw Nation citizenship card out of a box on his dresser and slid it into his wallet. Some strangers mistake the pest-control company manager for Latino, he said, and he fears getting caught up in ICE raids. Like Mantz, many Native Americans are carrying tribal documents proving their U.S. citizenship in case they are stopped or questioned by federal immigration agents. This is why dozens of the 575 federally recognized Native nations are making it easier to get tribal IDs. They’re waiving fees, lowering the...

Back in October, Neil Young pledged to remove all of his music from Amazon. And in a recent post on the Neil Young Archives, he said he's sticking with the plan. "Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president," he wrote. "The president's international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions. If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon..." Young's complete catalog and a vast archive of live concerts, studio outtakes, and concert films is available on the Neil Young Archives...

Most in the GOP are silent or backing the Trump administration, but a conspicuous few are speaking out. A small but growing number of Republicans are raising public concerns about the killing Saturday of a 37-year-old Minnesota man by federal agents.Hours after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street, one House GOP chair called for the top ICE leader and other Trump administration officials to publicly answer lawmakers’ questions. GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thom Tillis of North Carolina called for independent probes into the shooting, with Cassidy arguing the integrity...

A second high-profile killing by a federal agent in Minneapolis has jeopardized the chances of Congress averting a partial government shutdown as Democrats come out en masse against the funding measure for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Lawmakers had been on the verge of completing their funding work for fiscal 2026 this week after the House last week passed its final four appropriations bills. However, the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, 37, a nurse at the city’s Veterans Affairs hospital, by a Border Patrol agent has seemingly torpedoed the chances of those bills passing the Senate, with one key...

BREAKING NEWS: ICE agents have shot and killed another person in Minneapolis. I was interviewing Minnesota AG Keith Ellison when it happened and he explains why it has become an absolute necessity for the “invasion of the Twin Cities by federal agents” to come to a stop.

Customs and Border Protection chief Gregory Bovino was seen marching with his security detail in an oversized coat mirroring the agency’s uniform, as well as a black scarf in Minneapolis amid increased tensions following the death of Renee Nicole Good. The unique attire reminded social media users of Nazi uniforms. Bovino was the only person in the group of over a dozen federal agents seen wearing the boxy green winter trench coat and the black scarf. The coat also featured buttons and CBP’s insignia. For some social media users, the coat reminded them of similar coats the far-right fascist group...

President Donald Trump marked his first year back in office by presiding over a meandering, nearly two-hour-long press briefing to recount his accomplishments, repeating many false claims he made throughout 2025. Among the topics about which he continued to spread falsehoods were the 2020 election, foreign policy, the economy and energy. Here’s a closer look at the facts. 2020 election TRUMP, referencing former President Joe Biden: “... a man that didn’t win the election, by the way, it’s a rigged election. Everybody knows that now. THE FACTS: This is a blatant falsehood that has been disproven many times over… International...

Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, has decried Europeans for their “complicity” in failing to stand up to Donald Trump’s demands that he be allowed to buy or annex Greenland. Newsom, a frontrunner among Democratic candidates for president in 2028, told reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday that Europeans were being “played” by Trump and that their efforts to negotiate with him were “not diplomacy, it’s stupidity”. “It’s time to buck up, it’s time to get serious and stop being complicit,” he told reporters. “I can’t take this complicity. People rolling over. I should have brought...

President Trump has warned America’s European allies “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace” after he missed out on last year’s Nobel Prize amid a new round of threats to annex Greenland.Trump’s message, initially sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, was forwarded to multiple European ambassadors in DC, according to PBS. “Dear Jonas,” the message reads. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now...

By conducting repeated, non-authorized “hearing-like” events across multiple states, Democratic lawmakers are substituting narrative judgment for formal oversight — a practice that weakens institutional norms without formally breaking them. They explicitly disclaimed constitutional authority while theatrically imitating it — which tells you they understood the limits and chose to step around them anyway. This hearing asserts criminal guilt against federal law enforcement outside the courts while enforcement is ongoing, effectively placing Congress in an extra-constitutional adjudicatory role. By moving a self-described “sixth hearing” out of Washington and placing it under the control of ideologically aligned senior members, Democrats are asserting...

NUUK, Greenland — Native Greenlander Amarok Peterson was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame. At 13, she became one of thousands of Greenlandic girls subjected to forced sterilization by Danish doctors who implanted an IUD in her womb without her knowledge. “The Danes don’t see us as humans,” Petersen told The Post in a local Inuit restaurant overlooking Nuuk’s famous fjords. “They think we’re too expensive, too small a population. But they take our land, our children, our lives and expect thanks.” While the...

President Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland from Denmark fits into a long, little-known pattern in U.S. history. From quiet discussions after the Civil War to a $100 million offer in the wake of World War II, American leaders have repeatedly seen Greenland as a strategic prize. Here's a look: 1867–1868: Early US interest after the Alaska purchase After the U.S. bought Alaska from Russia, officials under Secretary of State William Seward discussed acquiring Greenland as part of a broader push into the Arctic. Seward noted the territory was rich in natural resources, including coal. But the idea never...

Two high-profile Democrats are calling for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in a fatal Wednesday shooting in Minneapolis to be prosecuted. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called the shooting a “murder” and said ICE “has now turned into what our greatest fear is and has been for a long time … that this will be used as an anti-civilian force, that it has no accountability at the end of the day.” “What we saw today is a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted,” she told reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday evening. Rep....

BOGOTA, Colombia – The Biden administration said Friday that it was offering $25 million for information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela, after he assumed a third term in office despite evidence suggesting that he lost Venezuela’s recent election. The announcement was a retaliatory measure by Washington, which does not recognize Maduro as the rightful president of Venezuela. Maduro has presented no evidence that he won a July election, while his opponent Edmundo González has presented thousands of publicly available vote tallies that he says indicate he easily won the most votes. The United States...

Brian Krassenstein, one of two brothers who rose to viral fame via facile, curt responses to President Donald Trump’s tweets, is under fire after a post suggesting the president needs to be put “to sleep.” In a Christmas Eve missive, Krassenstein aped language Trump used about Stephen Colbert in a Truth Social post — albeit without the context that made Trump’s post passable — to imply that the 47th president needed to go by means one could reasonably speculate on. “Trump is a dead man walking,” Krassenstein wrote on Christmas Eve. “America should ‘put him to sleep,’ NOW. “It is...
