Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to claim Wednesday that he had never seen President Trump fall asleep. It didn’t go well for him.
Democratic Representative Ted Lieu confronted Rubio in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, saying that “you’ve been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep.” Rubio audaciously claimed that was false.
“I’ve never seen him fall…

The government’s attempt to prosecute resistance to the president’s mass deportations mission has been destructive, absurd, often contradicted by the evidence offered, and conspicuously unbound by law. The White House has also lost an uncharacteristic number of these cases, including, most recently, one that originated when federal prosecutors sought to charge a group of demonstrators for…
The genius of federalism, as coined by Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in 1932, is that states can act as “laboratories of democracy.” Empowered with the autonomy to explore and test new policies, leaders can set examples for others to follow or prove to be cautionary tales.
But, the dynamic only works if states are protected from intrusion by other states.
Unfortunately, California is…

Since Donald Trump’s reelection, progressive and moderate Democrats have spent a lot of time fighting over differences in their approaches to campaign messaging and strategy. But the differences that matter most are those that occur after an election, when it’s time to govern. There’s no better example than the emerging contrast between New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Virginia Governor…
Congress approved the Railway Safety Act amendment last week, which includes measures to increase railway safety. Some celebrate the legislation while others are warning of negative consequences for the American consumer.

US President Donald Trump on Monday seemingly predicated an emerging Iran peace deal on Muslim-majority nations across the Middle East and beyond normalising relations with Israel.
This brand new demand came on the heels of a potential memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the US and Iran to end the war on all fronts and potentially lift oil waivers.
It is worth noting that the nations…

Republicans are going all out to convince the American people that President Trump’s $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund for his MAGA allies is actually a good thing.
Representative James Comer proclaimed that there’s a “need” for the slush fund.
“The things they tried to convict him of—it was a joke,” he said Friday. “So I think that there is a need for it. What the president needs to do…
Nate Blouin said that hiding the fact that he is a progressive Democrat to appear more moderate in Utah’s 1st Congressional District race isn’t what Utahns need — or want.
In a conversation with controversial online streamer Hasan Piker, Blouin said that voters want someone who doesn’t change their politics to match constituents — but they instead, “should be electing people who are, you know,…

Recall, if you can stomach it, the late summer months of the 2024 presidential campaign. The political press was churning out (accurate) stories about how Vice President Kamala Harris was distancing herself from some of the bolder policy proposals she’d previously backed, and many of the left were in a froth over it. But I paid it little mind. Timidly pivoting to the center was nothing new for…

“Cartels of terrorists across our hemisphere, enabled by adversaries, created and profited from chaos,” remarked Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth at the Americas Counter Cartel Conference in early March. “What creates chaos? No leadership creates chaos.” The Christian nationalist crusader, whose Pentagon is in constant upheaval, was referring to the Biden administration—but his words are a much…
To avoid ending up on the Hate List, people watch their words, meaning they watch their thoughts. If we accept the premise that we want to stamp out hate, we acquiesce in this erosion of our freedom of thought, which is ultimately an erosion of our very humanity.

After 15 years at the helm, Tim Cook is finally stepping down as Apple CEO.

For decades, democratic leadership has tried to market its willingness to craft pro-corporate policy as political sophistication. Last summer, 2028 presidential hopeful Ruben Gallego championed the GENIUS Act, a bill that deregulates parts of the cryptocurrency industry, which directly benefits one of Trump’s crypto firms. At a 2025 forum, Gallego repeated a vague, starry-eyed, crypto industry…

The chaos and destruction Donald Trump has wrought has been facilitated by the decades-long expansion of the president’s executive power. Far from checking that power when they hold office, Democrats have expanded it. That has to change.
