Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged a Minneapolis man in connection with a string of sexual assaults including of a 15-year-old girl. In two of the cases, Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, 28, avoided prison as part of a recent plea deal with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office and allegedly raped his latest victim in September while on probation. In a statement, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi blamed Minnesota’s “left-wing soft-on-crime policies” for putting innocent people at risk from a “Somali national.” In response, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the Justice Department news release is a “clear attempt to politicize a sexual...

After successfully holding strong in the face of a Democrat-led government shutdown over Obamacare, a cabal of House Republicans is now waiving the white flag on the issue.On Thursday, nearly three dozen Democrats and Republicans introduced a proposal to extend taxpayer-funded Obamacare subsidies. As Federalist Senior Contributor Christopher Jacobs has regularly reported in these pages, these Biden-era subsidies — which are set to expire at the end of this year — have been a complete and total disaster. Spearheaded by Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Jen Kiggins, R-Va., the measure “would extend and reduce the tax credits in a two-step...

I’ve watched two American cities make opposite choices about the same problem.As a young man, I worked in Memphis: first as a traveling salesman, then as a law student, and finally as an attorney at a Memphis law firm. As an associate lawyer, I dreamed of escaping the daily grind by writing a great American novel. A fellow named John Grisham beat me to it, writing a book called “The Firm,” which was loosely based on my then-Memphis law firm, Baker Donelson. I guess that is why, many years later, I’m still a practicing attorney and John Grisham has written...

Back in October, New York AG Letitia James was indicted with two charges related to mortgage fraud. But by the end of November that indictment, and one against former FBI Director James Comey, were tossed out after a judge ruled the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as prosecutor was improper. Both cases were dismissed without prejudice.That left the DOJ with two options. They could appeal the ruling dismissing the two cases or they could essentially start over with a new prosecutor. Yesterday, they attempted to start over on the case against Letitia James but the new prosecutor failed to secure an...

FBI Director Kash Patel shut down numerous accusations that have been made by podcast host Candace Owens involving the murder of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. During his appearance on Friday on the Sirius XM The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, Kelly started out by asking Patel if they believe they have the "proper suspect in custody" — if Tyler Robinson is "in fact, the man who killed Kirk." Patel didn't hesitate in the slightest and answered, "Yes." The host then brought up one of the wild accusations that have been made by Owens, which includes claiming...

It is always amazing that, in a place where liberal Democrats have reigned supreme for decades, and say they want a change, their answer always seems to be, "If we just elect some new Democrats..." Since he came on the scene during the summer, the entire nation has been able to see what's coming once Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani gets sworn into office. He is an unapologetic socialist and will implement ridiculous and useless socialist ideas in the Big Apple. When it comes to the city's homeless population, even Democrat Mayor Eric Adams knew there had to be some restrictions. But...

Vice President JD Vance just dropped a hilarious Oval Office story leaving the entire room cracking up. President Trump glanced over the Resolute Desk at VP Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio and said, “You guys have shitty shoes.” Right then and there, Trump pulled out a shoe catalog and gifted them 4 pairs of shoes. 🤣 Wait until the end of the story… “Today I'm in the Oval Office with the President and Marco Rubio, and we're talking about something really important. The President kind of holds up his hand and says, ‘no, no, no, hold on a second. There's...

When attorney Harmeet Dhillon was announced as Donald Trump’s choice to lead the DOJ Civil Rights Division in December 2024, we knew he’d picked someone who wasn’t coming to D.C. to mess around. And since her confirmation in April, the former California RNC chair and founder of the Dhillon Law Group, as well as the Center for American Liberty, has been very busy indeed.On Friday, the assistant attorney general announced that her team had uncovered some serious anomalies in voter rolls around the nation — hundreds of thousands of them.According to Dhillon, federal investigators have identified 260,000 dead individuals still...

Possible mass deportation of 200,000 Afghans living in America is now being discussed at the White House 🚨 Department of War @DeptofWar Senior Advisor Stuart Scheller @stuartscheller confirmed to me that the 76,000 Afghan refugees admitted during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan under the Biden regime is a massive undercount, revealing that the true number of unvetted individuals is likely significantly higher…closer to 200,000. Scheller acknowledged that the upcoming report will expose the leadership decisions of past administrations that allowed Islamic enemy combatants to enter our country. Surely, these failures are directly linked to the recent murder of National Guard...

A leading scientist’s warning about intensifying technological competition has been interpreted by the market as a starting gun. Shares of U.S. quantum computing companies soared after John Martinis, a 2024 Nobel Prize laureate in physics, stated in a recent Bloomberg interview that China is catching up rapidly, with the U.S. lead potentially narrowed to “nanoseconds.” The episode highlighted how geopolitical anxiety can fuel a market frenzy. “China has caught up quickly… I’m worried that maybe we’re nanoseconds ahead of them,” Martinis said. While intended as a serious warning about eroding U.S. technological supremacy, the financial market drew a different implication:...

Two Illinois brothers were indicted in a superseding indictment on charges related to a scheme to defraud Medicare, Medicaid and private health care insurers and for participating in a money laundering conspiracy with the fraud proceeds.

Their scheme allegedly sought to defraud Medicare, Medicaid and private insurers by submitting fraudulent claims of over $293 million for COVID-19 laboratory testing services that were never provided, for which insurers paid at least...

SNIP The truth is that our foreign aid had become a joke — a way to line pockets and spread wacko leftist ideology more than anything. Rubio told ABC's George Stephanopoulos — who tried to do that whole "Trump is killing people by cutting aid" thing — back in September that "We're gonna do more than anyone in the world, again, this year, but we're gonna do it the right way. We're gonna do it holistically. We're gonna do it as part of an integrated foreign policy." During that interview, Rubio pointed out that the reason why people die is...

In July 2019, Minnesota state officials spotted early signs of fraud that would eventually siphon away more than $1 billion in taxpayer money, but they quickly faced pressure from leaders of the charitable group Feeding Our Future to stop asking questions, according to multiple former employees at the Minnesota Department of Education.

Sir Keir Starmer has enlisted the help of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron in his battle against Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The Prime Minister revealed the trio of 'centrist' politicians recently discussed how to take on 'populists' such as Mr Farage. The leaders of the UK, Germany and France met for dinner in Berlin last month to discuss European security, Ukraine and the Middle East. But Sir Keir has now said their talks also focused on their shared domestic challenges and battles with both far-Right parties and hard-Left parties. Mr Merz is continuing to face a...
