WASHINGTON — Former FBI Director James Comey taunted Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to “bone up on the rules” as he stares down the second indictment against him and once again stood by his decision to reopen the Hillary Clinton email probe in late 2016. Comey, who was indicted late last month for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump in a May 2025 Instagram post calling for “86 47,” chided Blanche for telling the public the case is about more than that social media post. “I don’t talk about the case because the federal court rules require you not,” Comey...

Speaking to the New York Times, the council member admitted he is “gravely concerned” about the accelerating business exodus. “This is real,” he conceded. Wilson’s infamous response to fleeing millionaires—”like, bye”—has aged about as well as her economic vision. The mayor laughed off warnings...

President Donald Trump’s decade-old political ascendancy has rendered adult liberals incapable of defining themselves by anything other than their hatred of the president. Thus, they have made no effort to restrain behavior that decent people in normal times regard as unhinged. For instance, in a clip posted Saturday to the social media platform X, a gray-haired woman wearing a “Make America Kind Again” T-shirt showed off her Trump Derangement Syndrome by treating an effigy of the president like a piñata and savagely beating it with a stick. The back of the woman’s shirt read: “Do Unto Others As You Would...
