Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz was so impressed by the record-breaking speech by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) this week that he thinks the Democratic Party may have a new leader in its midst. “I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history,” he told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert. Booker spoke for a record 25 hours and 4 minutes as he railed against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, generating viral moments on social media. “What I saw over the last 25 hours absolutely blew me away,” Luntz admitted, then...

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) launched a marathon speech on the Senate floor Tuesday evening to protest Trump administration policies and vowed to speak for "as long as I am physically able to." The big picture: Booker said in video posted to media ahead of his speech that began at 7pm ET that he was heading to the Senate floor because President Trump and Elon Musk "have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the...

A new report out from CNN states that federal prosecutors for the DOJ possess a recording that shows former President Donald Trump speaking candidly about "a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran."CNN is primarily interested in what the existence of this recording means in terms of the DOJ case against Trump. (snip) The meeting was held shortly after the New Yorker published a story stating that following the election in 2020, Milley repeatedly argued against carrying out a strike on Iran and was concerned that Trump "might set in motion a full-scale conflict that was not justified."

Retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Friday that British foreign intelligence agency MI6 might have been involved in the Signal imbroglio that has vexed the Trump administration. "This has really produced an uproar in the intelligence community," Napolitano said on "National Report." "The Guardian of London says — are you ready for this? — it was MI-6. It was the British intelligence that doesn't like Donald Trump that wanted to embarrass him. "All of this is a reason why, in my view, it was wrong for Attorney General [Pam] Bondi to say there's not going...

California began a soft secession when it banned cooperation with immigration authorities. Since then other states run by Democrats, including Colorado, Illinois and New Jersey, have declared war on ICE. The movement to make it impossible for ICE, an arm of the federal government, to operate in Democrat states has largely been successful. Some Republican states, like Tennessee, Texas and Florida, have responded by ordering law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. And while this is important in limiting the spread of illegal aliens in their states, it may also be time for them to consider their own forms of soft...

Taxpayer-funded abortion is increasing at the state level as pro-abortion lawmakers work to expand abortion since the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Federally, the Hyde Amendment prohibits most taxpayer funding of abortion, allowing funding only in cases of rape, incest, or when the physician determines the pregnant mother’s life is at risk. But while the Hyde Amendment prevents most abortions from being paid for by federal tax dollars, each state can determine its own taxpayer funding for abortion. According to the pro-abortion organization KFF.org (The Kaiser Family Foundation), “There is tremendous variability in how much states reimburse for abortion services...

TRENTON, N.J. — President Donald Trump on Monday named his one-time defense attorney and current White House counselor Alina Habba to be the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Habba, who turns 41 Tuesday, takes over the interim post from John Giordano, whom the president said he's naming to be the U.S. ambassador for the southwestern African country of Namibia. A partner in a small New Jersey law firm near Trump’s Bedminster golf course, Habba served as a senior adviser for Trump's political action committee, defended him in court in several civil lawsuits and acted as a spokesperson last year...

To those demanding immediate arrests, Habba urges patience, explaining that the process requires thorough evidence review to ensure accountability is achieved properly. She vows they will handle it the right way.

An Evangelical mission doctor has warned that millions of lives are at stake surrounding the potential dismantling of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), as country music artists led by Amy Grant have called for the program's reauthorization. PEPFAR, launched in 2003 under President George W. Bush, is the largest global health initiative focused on a single disease, HIV/AIDS. PEPFAR has sent over $100 billion to more than 50 countries in the last two decades, providing antiretroviral therapy (ARVs) life-saving treatment and infrastructure support to regions most affected by the epidemic, particularly in Africa. However, recent aid...

PATERSON, N.J.

It’s in his blood. Violent crime runs in the family of the 14-year-old Newark boy charged with gunning down Detective Joseph Azcona in a flurry of bullets earlier this month, sources and the boy’s own relatives told The Post this week. The unidentified teen’s mom, Rabiyah Sorey, 43, has been a known drug dealer on her block of North Ninth Street for years, the source said. Her twin sister, Hadiyah Sorey, 43, is her “partner in crime” and runs the family business with her, the source added. “That’s a really, really bad family,” the source said. “They’ve all been arrested...

New parents in New Jersey are receiving shocking documents from a health network — and it is not the hospital bill. A form from Inspira Health went viral as it asks parents about their newborn’s sexual orientation and gender identity. Now, Republican New Jersey State Sen. Holly Schepisi is introducing legislation to exempt minors from these types of questions. Schepisi — also a mother of two — told Fox News Digital that when she first saw the form being circulated on social media, she was "skeptical" because of the "outrageous" and "nonsensical" nature of the forms. However, her staff were...

An upcoming 60 Minutes investigation into the drone sightings that took place toward the end of 2024 promises to reveal more about the government's knowledge and response to the still largely-unexplained phenomena. In a preview for the special, CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker speaks with Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, inquiring about the intelligence community's thoughts on the mysterious sightings and whether these could have been an attempt at espionage by a foreign power. "I am privy to classified briefings at the highest level," Wicker said. "I think the Pentagon and the National Security...

As if coming up with a great baby name wasn’t hard enough. Newborns can’t even control their own movements, but that isn’t stopping New Jersey hospitals from asking parents for their baby’s preferred pronouns and sexual orientation. Inspira Health’s “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire” requires new parents to “identify” their babies as either “Male, Female, Transgender, Gender Queer,” or “Additional gender category.”

Chilling audio has revealed the moment a New Jersey woman begged 911 for help after her maniac neighbor shot her and her husband — asking dispatchers to tell her kids she loved them if she bled to death. Jill Kwatkoski and her husband, Tom, were left severely injured when their neighbor, John Adamo, 54, suddenly opened fire on them outside their Jersey Shore home on Tuesday afternoon after an apparent years-long feud, cops said. “Please get the cops here, I’m bleeding to death,” the distressed wife screamed in 911 audio obtained by NBC4. “I can’t leave my kids,” she continued....

A shocking transformation is unfolding in Paterson, New Jersey, where local officials are rapidly reshaping the city into an Islamic stronghold. Once a beacon of American industry and blue-collar resilience, Paterson has become a case study in how unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering can erode a city’s original identity.

March 10 (UPI) -- An 81-year-old woman going through boxes of her mother's belongings made a surprising discovery: an overdue library book checked out by her grandfather 99 years earlier. "I thought, I don't have grandchildren, and my kids are getting older. Even if my son took it, I didn't know what they'd do with it," Cooper told CNN. "I figured it belongs to the library."
