Some of President Donald Trump‘s top Democratic critics who may run for the White House in 2028 used appearances at a high-profile European conference this past weekend to blast the Republican president’s agenda and try to beef up their foreign policy chops. But for some of these Democrats with national ambitions, the international stop at the prestigious Munich Security Conference may have backfired. Meanwhile, a highly anticipated address by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who...
A House GOP lawmaker has become the first member of his party to support a Democrat-led effort to limit presidential pardon power. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., signed on in support of legislation led by Rep. Johnny Olszewski, D-Md., to establish a congressional review process for presidential pardons.

The NAACP and other organizations say the documents contain ‘sensitive personal information,’ and asked the judge to impose limits on how the FBI can use the data.

The former Arkansas governor and 42nd commander in chief was missing from a ‘Happy President’s Day’ image that included John F.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is making a push to have the Pride flag considered on the same level as the U.S. flag in the eyes of the federal government. Schumer announced plans to introduce legislation that would make the flag, a symbol of the LGBTQ movement, a congressionally authorized flag.

The partial government shutdown stretched into another week after negotiators failed to reach a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the weekend. Congress is on a weeklong recess and is not scheduled to return to Washington, D.C., until next week, leaving the shutdown’s end in limbo as both parties remain far apart on key provisions. Senate Democrats are demanding a series of reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a position...
A new report from the far-left Human Rights Campaign shows a remarkable shift: a 65% drop in Fortune 500 companies publicly communicating commitments to diversity and inclusion initiatives.
