Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) daughter is without a job and trying to sell her used clothing online more than a year after being arrested at an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University, the New York Post reported.  “Unemployment got me,” Omar’s 22-year-old activist daughter Isra Hirsi said in an Instagram Story.  “I am now selling on [Depop]!!

Democrats have “lost the plot” and the party has completely “moved somewhere else,” according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who declared himself “politically homeless” as he blasted the party’s economic vision and ideological shift, accusing the left of turning against capitalism, free markets, and the engines of American progress. In a viral and lengthy post on X last week, Altman — who turned 40 this year — reflected on his two-decade political shift, writing that while he once found Democrats aligned with his beliefs, he no longer recognizes the party. “The Democratic Party seemed reasonably aligned with [techno-capitalism] when I…

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Wednesday the state Legislature will focus on redistricting during a special session later this year, as Republicans look to defend their narrow House majority in 2026. The move could potentially reshape the state’s congressional map — which already heavily favors Republicans. President Donald Trump’s allies have encouraged Texas Republicans to redraw the state’s maps to create more House districts that favor Republicans ahead of next year’s midterms. POLITICO previously reported that members of the Texas delegation to Congress were wary about a potential redraw. “This is a political play fraught with tons of land mines…

Screenshot: MSNBC Former CIA Director John Brennan has finally broken his silence after news broke that he is under criminal investigation by the FBI for his misconduct during the Trump–Russia probe — and his response was as arrogant and evasive as ever. In a softball interview with MSNBC, Brennan dismissed the criminal referral as politically motivated fiction, refusing to take any responsibility for his role in promoting what turned out to be one of the biggest political hoaxes in American history. The disgraced ex-CIA chief then doubled down on the thoroughly debunked narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election…

X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced on Wednesday that she is stepping down from her role heading Elon Musk’s social media platform. Yaccarino, who in 2023 became the first permanent CEO Musk hired after buying the company in 2022, revealed in an X post that, “After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X.” “When Elon Musk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company,” Yaccarino wrote. “I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of…

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued two arrest warrants for the “supreme leader” of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, and the terrorists’ top judge Abdul Hakim Haqqani on Tuesday in response to the Taliban’s systematic abuse and repression of women and girls, which the court deemed a crime against humanity. The Taliban has ruled as the uncontested government of Afghanistan since August 15, 2021, when its jihadists stormed the capital of Kabul and sent then-President Ashraf Ghani fleeing. The Taliban takeover followed a decision by then-President Joe Biden to violate an agreement brokered by predecessor Donald Trump that would have seen…

South Korea sent its National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac to Washington this week to meet with top officials in President Donald Trump’s administration, telling reporters that his government sought to handle security concerns alongside trade negotiations in anticipation of the August 1 tariff deadline. President Trump launched a global restructuring of America’s trade policies on April 2, which he dubbed “Liberation Day.” Lamenting what he called unfair trade imbalances in which countries were enjoying access to the lucrative American market while imposing protectionist policies on American products, Trump invited every country that trades with America to renegotiate their terms and…

Kevin O’Connor, who served as Joe Biden’s physician while the former president was in office, refused to testify in a closed-door interview as part of the House GOP probe into Biden’s mental acuity and whether his inner circle sought to conceal his limitations from the public. O’Connor Wednesday morning asserted doctor-patient privilege and his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to a statement from his attorneys. He had repeatedly argued his duties as a doctor complicated his ability to testify under oath about his patient, preventing him from sharing some sensitive information. “On the advice of his legal counsel, Dr.…
