THOSE WHO WISH TRUMP DEAD. A few days ago, a corner of the political world became gripped by the idea that President Donald Trump had died. There was no evidence, of course, and the president is alive today. But that didn’t stop the talk.It started when Trump, who is perhaps the most visible, accessible president in history, was not seen by the press for a couple of days at the White House. That was all it took for social media posters to get to work. They pieced together reports about bruises on the president’s right hand, the result of shaking...

The move is noteworthy as Mayor Muriel Bowser has been generally cooperative with the federal effort. D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb brought the suit, however. Washington, D.C., is suing the Trump administration over its deployment of the National Guard in the nation's capital.The suit states Trump "has run roughshod over a fundamental tenet of American democracy – that the military should not be involved in domestic law enforcement," NBC News reported.Trump began the federal takeover last month to crack down on crime. He further assumed direct control of the city's police force and asked for National Guard troops from...

The mission continues at Alligator Alcatraz. The media was wrong. The leftist judge has been overturned. Florida will keep leading the way.

NBC News reported shocking interviews with a dozen federal court judges who hid behind anonymity to attack the Supreme Court for overturning their anti-Trump decisions, accusing the conservative dominated Supreme Court of undermining the judiciary. This is the latest in an ongoing battle this year between anti-Trump Resistance judges on the federal bench using their rulings to enact their preferred policies and the Supreme Court trying to rein them in under constitutional order. With Republicans holding the White House and both houses of Congress, Democrat activists are using their allies on the federal bench to obstruct and delay actions by...

Senior officials at the U.S. Department of Justice have held multiple meetings in recent days to consider a possible federal ban of transgendered individuals from owning firearms, Breitbart News has learned. Multiple sources familiar with the matter, including one official inside the DOJ, confirmed to Breitbart News that the Office of Legal Council (OLC)—which advises the Attorney General on legal matters—has held several such meetings since the tragic shooting, allegedly by a transgendered individual, that killed 2 children at a Minneapolis Catholic school and injured 21 others. This legal question of banning firearm ownership for transgendered individuals would focus on...

Democratic Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia, in a hearing on Wednesday, told the room: The notion that rights don't come from laws, and don't come from the government, but come from the Creator... That's what the Iranian government believes... So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) read emails to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a Thursday hearing from several people who say they’ve been left in the lurch, denied vaccines after recent CDC decisions to change recommendations. “I would say, effectively, we’re denying people vaccines,” Cassidy said after reading the messages from conservative radio host Erick Erickson and a friend of the Louisiana Republican, who is a doctor.

New York City's mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani joins All In With Chris Hayes and responds to new reporting that President Trump is considering offering a job to current incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams to clear the campaign field for Andrew Cuomo. “This is an afront to our city’s democracy," Mamdani says.

Kamala Harris’ new security detail is made up of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, who have been reassigned to guard the former vice president after President Trump withdrew her Secret Service protection, according to a report. As many as 14 of LAPD’s elite Metro Division officers have been “pulled from working cases” and “crime suppression efforts” to provide security for Harris, local outlet FOX 11 reported on Wednesday. The outlet recorded an unmarked LAPD SUV with at least two plainclothes officers sitting in the driveway outside Harris’ home in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where the failed...

Americans are waking up to the prevalence of illegal immigrants working side by side with them as they consistently lose out to a cheaper alternative to themselves. Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant, caused a fatal vehicle crash Aug. 12, killing three people on the Florida Turnpike as he attempted to make a U-turn in an “Official Use Only” turnaround while driving a commercial truck. Further investigations revealed Singh failed English and road-sign tests, raising questions about his licensing eligibility. Commercial trucking is a quintessential American blue-collar job that provides economic opportunities for people all over the country. Even Mayor Adams...

Over 1,000 current and former Health and Human Services employees signed a letter calling for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to resign as HHS Director. For the first time in decades we have an HHS Director who puts people before Big Pharma and these grunts want him gone. At least they’ve identified themselves! The disgruntled employees posted their petition on a page they created they titled ‘Save HHS.’ If they were honest people, they would have called it ‘Save Big Pharma.’ These people are wicked partisans who want to load up children with the COVID vaccine despite its well-documented dangers! They...

These are the latest polls of the New York City mayoral election. Use the dropdown below to see polls about hypothetical matchups in the race. Polls from “select pollsters” meet certain criteria for reliability and are shown with a diamond.

Well, this would be an interesting development... According to POLITICO, the Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, has been offered a job in the Trump administration as a reward for dropping out of the New York City race. It would make a lot of sense, as Adams is the lowest-performing candidate in a crowded race in which it sure looks likely that Zohran Mamdani has the inside track. Trump, as we all know, is both emotionally and financially invested in the well-being of New York, and a Mamdani mayoralty could make a Bill de Blasio term look as if the...

reasingly frustrated by his inability to get Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sit down for direct talks aimed at ending the war. President Donald Trump said the United States will keep a robust military presence in Poland during a meeting on Wednesday with Karol Nawrocki, the new president of the American ally in Europe. Trump had taken the unusual step of endorsing Karol Nawrocki in the presidential election earlier this year and as the leaders sat in the White House, Trump said the US-Polish relationship has always been strong but "now it’s better than ever."...

The star's anti-knife crime advocacy led to him being considered as a candidateIdris Elba has shut down rumours that he is entering politics, saying he doesn’t have the “courage” for the profession. In February, Elba made the documentary Our Knife Crime Crisis, and has been vocal on ways to combat the problem. His advocacy led to a report in March that said the Labour Party was interested in him as a candidate for the Mayor Of London. Metro has now reported that Elba spoke about the rumours while promoting his new film, A House Of Dynamite, in which he...

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Wednesday to restore about $2.2 billion in federal funding for Harvard University, despite finding the Ivy League school was “plagued by antisemitism.” Regardless of antisemitism concerns, Boston-based District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled the federal grants awarded to Harvard were unlawfully terminated by President Trump. Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, determined there was “more than sufficient” evidence indicating the Trump administration “impermissibly retaliated against Harvard for refusing to capitulate to the government’s demands.” The Trump administration “specifically and repeatedly linked the coordinated funding cuts to Harvard’s decision to ‘fight,’” Burroughs...

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump will soon ask the Supreme Court to throw out a jury’s finding in a civil lawsuit that he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll at a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s and later defamed her, his lawyers said in a recent court filing.Trump’s lawyers previewed the move as they asked the high court to extend its deadline for challenging the $5 million verdict from Sept. 10 to Nov. 11. The president “intends to seek review” of “significant issues” arising from the trial and the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ subsequent decisions...
