A former top advisor to ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is not meeting the moment in the current Trump era. ‘Trump is just giving us all this incredible red meat.

The right-wing Reform UK Party saw a series of electoral wins early Friday after it secured parliamentary, mayoral and several local election seats in what leader Nigel Farage said is proof that Reform UK is ‘now the opposition party to this Labour government.’ Farage, who predicted earlier this year in an interview with Fox News Digital that there would be a ‘political revolution,’ said the centurylong, two-party system that has dominated British politics was ‘now...

The Pentagon’s procurement system has kept American forces stocked with some of the most iconic military hardware in history – from the battle-hardened Humvee to the cutting-edge Apache helicopter.
