Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said more and more Republicans were realizing President Donald Trump is “out of control and reckless.” Tur said, “There are some out there who are arguing that what we’re seeing on the streets across this country, especially over the last week in Minneapolis, justifies Democrats shutting down the government over withholding this funding from DHS. And unless reforms are initiated, unless new rules and requirements are put in place, would you feel comfortable shutting down the government over this issue?” Booker said, “Look, I think the real problem we…

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia posted data this week that shows it carried out at least 356 executions in 2025, the highest number recorded in the modern era, and a significant increase over the record-breaking 338 executions in 2024. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), at least 243 of the death sentences carried out in 2025 were for drug-related cases.

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will bring their “gun violence” to all our communities unless they are stopped. Frost said, “Honestly, it goes back to when I first saw that video of her being shot and killed, is that it was actually a very familiar video to me because as someone who’s worked on ending gun violence since I was 15 years old, this was gun violence, gun violence done by the state.” He added, “As someone who was organizing during Black Lives Matter on the streets of Orlando, who…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Richard Grenell stated that if the Iranian regime survives the current situation, “I think they can survive anything.” And he hasn’t seen anything like what we’re currently seeing in his lifetime. Host Rob Schmitt asked, “You’re not a regime change guy. I know this of you, but can you — no matter how it happens, is the world a better place if that regime falls and those people are liberated from it?” Grenell answered, “I love the America first, let’s not do regime change type of policies. If…

Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the Trump administration’s focus of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good on her wife was “monstrous.” Host Jake Tapper said, “The Justice Department does not believe there is evidence to back a criminal investigation into the actions of the ICE agents, who last week fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Deputy Attorney General Todd Bland said in a statement, quote, there is currently no basis for a criminal civil investigation, unquote. It’s a sign that investigators are not examining the evidence or the conduct of the…

Western Europe has long abandoned its independence for American vassalage, and is now reaping the result There are three major foreign-policy items on the EU’s radar, and they’re all connected: Ukraine, Venezuela, and Greenland. All three involve Washington doing whatever it wants, largely to the EU’s detriment.And no, this didn’t start with Trump. He just yanked off the white gloves and revealed Washington’s bare knuckles in all their glory. All three cases also involve the EU at least pretending that it’s on Washington’s side – even when resistance would have been squarely in Europe’s own interests. The US has long…

ICE Fugitive Operations arrested the Guatemalan national on January 12. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials revealed to Breitbart Texas that an ICE Fugitive Operations team hunted down and arrested Xocop‑Vicente on Monday…
