Hillary Clinton sounded the alarm that Donald Trump is a fascist during an interview Thursday night with CNN's Kaitlan Collins

Just as former president Donald Trump told Fox News last week that he wanted to use the U.S. military to “handle” what he called the “enemy from within” on Election Day, an obscure military policy was beginning to make the rounds on social media platforms favored by the far right. The focus? Department of Defense Directive 5240.01. The 22-page document governs military intelligence activities and is among more than a thousand different policies that outline Defense Department procedures. The Pentagon updated it at the end of September. Although military policies are routinely updated and reissued, the timing of this one—just...

Donald Trump’s campaign slammed Hillary Clinton Thursday after the failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate accused the Republican nominee of seeking to “reenact” an infamous Nazi rally held at Madison Square Garden 85 years ago. The former New York senator and secretary of state made the shocking allegation shortly after telling CNN host Kaitlin Collins that she believes Trump, 78, is a “fascist.”

Political analyst Jonathan Alter commented Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” on President Donald Trump‘s rise in the polls, which he attributed to voters not grasping “fascism.” Host Wolf Blitzer said, “Trump’s latest praise for dictators as a new ABC poll finds that nearly half the country thinks Trump is a fascist, will put those numbers up on the screen there you see 49% believe Trump is a fascist and yet our new CNN national poll today shows the race is tied you can see it over there, 47% to 47%. How do you square that?”

Vice President Kamala Harris sided Wednesday with dockworkers who launched a massive strike this week that threatens to cripple the economy. “This strike is about fairness,” Harris said. “Foreign-owned shipping companies have made record profits and executive compensation has grown. The Longshoremen, who play a vital role transporting essential goods across America, deserve a fair share of these record profits.” Harris also threw in a barb at her opponent, accusing former President Donald Trump of making “empty promises” to workers and promising that she will “have workers’ backs” and fight for an “opportunity economy.” “Donald Trump, on the other hand,...

A cabinet-level political appointee of Minnesota's Democratic Gov. Tim Walz decorated the walls of her home with posters of murderous communist dictators, according to a photo posted on Facebook in December 2021 that was discovered by a Minnesota resident and shared with Fox News Digital. Ida Rukavina, the commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation, was appointed by Walz in 2022 to oversee the economic development of the northeastern part of the state, where the world's largest untapped copper-nickel reserve sits. ... Meanwhile, last week, the Daily Caller News Foundation uncovered that one of Walz's other political...

During the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF), John Kerry brazenly admitted that first amendment is a threat to government power. During the discussion, Kerry stated that free speech, particularly on social media, threatens ‘democracies’ by inhibiting the government’s ability to manufacture a consensus through the control of information. ”…I think the dislike like of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and that’s part of our problem particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue, its really hard to govern today.” He goes on to...

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO - Before Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and other prominent conservatives started talking about their city, the volunteers and leadership at St. Vincent de Paul - a Catholic social services nonprofit serving the broader community and Haitian immigrants - never felt the need for the state's Department of Public Safety to visit their welcome center, to brief the staff on emergency and worst-case-scenario protocols. That all changed earlier this month, according to Casey Rollins, executive director of the Springfield District Council of St. Vincent de Paul. On Thursday, when Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine visited their building, he brought...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) is who he wanted 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris to pick and Walz has “passed some very good legislation.” CNN host asked, “[Y]ou actually wanted Vice President Harris to pick Gov. Walz as her running mate. What did you make of their debut tonight in Philadelphia?” Sanders responded, “Well, it sounded very good. And the reason that I wanted Gov. Walz is, as you know, he comes from a rural state. He has been a champion of the working class....
