President Donald Trump has been “very effective” in his second term largely because of his MAGA makeover of the Republican Party, Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) said at a Breitbart News policy event on Wednesday.  Banks referenced the striking contrast between Trump’s first term — which was gridlocked by anti-Trump former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and a Republican party led by RINOs, warmongers, and neocons — and his second term, characterized by allies more unified on the president’s agenda. “The proof is in the pudding,” Banks said. “He’s been effective because he’s changed the party, and the party is helping…

In a post late Wednesday on Truth Social, Trump said: “Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” As Breitbart News had reported, Canada announced that it would join France and the United Kingdom in recognizing Palestinian statehood — despite the ongoing war that Palestinian terrorists began; despite the…

The fire-ravaged community of Pacific Palisades notched a political victory Tuesday when Governor Gavin Newsom (D) agreed to issue an executive order exempting fire zones from urban densification legislation. The fight centered around SB 9, a 2021 law meant to encourage housing construction by letting homeowners subdivide their lots more easily, and build accessory dwelling units (ADUs, also known as “granny flats”). The well-intentioned law, initially welcomed by property owners, turned into a threat after the fire, when the community feared that developers would purchase burned-out single-family lots and build multi-family housing instead, changing the character of the area and…

Senate Democrats have a chance to show their voters they can effectively stymie President Donald Trump as Republicans work to advance spending bills and a flurry of nominations.

Among the ideas they are floating is securing policy wins, like preserving soon-to-expire Affordable Care Act tax credits, or getting a commitment from Republicans not to pursue more rescissions. Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.)…

Palestinian statehood comes at the end of negotiations for a two-state solution and that process can no longer be held in abeyance, Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Thursday. “A negotiated two-state solution remains the only path that can offer people on both sides a life in peace, security, and dignity,” he said in a statement issued shortly before his trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories, as reported by Ynet News. “For Germany, the recognition of a Palestinian state comes more at the end of that process. But such a process must begin now.” Wadephul’s remarks follow a string of…
