Four days after Donald Trump screamed fire in a crowded theater, claiming “shocking vulnerabilities” in the nation’s voting booths, the people who actually run the elections met in Boston. They didn’t panic. There was no emergency summit. Instead, officials from 37 states gathered for a pre-planned, aggressively boring professional conference. The midterms are 15 weeks […]

Party loyalty has its limits. In Michigan, those limits are being tested. Several prominent Jewish Democrats are ready to jump ship. If Abdul El-Sayed wins the Democratic Senate primary, they are voting Republican. Specifically, they will back GOP candidate Mike Rogers. It is a bitter pill. But for many, it is a necessary one. According […]

Volodymyr Zelenskyy tried to play peacemaker with his fired defense minister. It backfired. Mykhailo Fedorov, booted last week after a mere six months on the job, publicly rejected the president’s offer of a shiny new government gig on Thursday.

Congress has a libido problem. It always has. Now, Colorado Republican Jeff Crank wants to force his colleagues to confess their inter-office trysts to the House Ethics Committee.

This provision deepens military-tech ties between the U.S. and Israel. Only six Democrats crossed the aisle to […]

They finally got him. Valentin Lavin, the mayor of Temoac, was found dead inside his own town hall on Wednesday. He survived an armed ambush back in January, but in Morelos, luck has a shelf life. The state prosecutor’s office confirmed forensic teams recovered his body from the local government offices. Now, police are scrambling […]

Spies are looking for Russian fingerprints. Specifically, inside the charred ruins of CIA outposts in the Gulf.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants you to stop worrying about the diarrhea. The Health and Human Services Secretary declared Tuesday that the massive, multi-state cyclospora outbreak is officially “under control.” According to him, the feds found the culprit and pulled the plug.
