The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Wednesday announced that it lifted sanctions on Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez. Rodríguez, a staunch socialist, is one of the over 160 members of the Venezuelan socialist regime who have been subject to U.S. sanctions over the past decade for their role in the numerous instances of human rights violations and repression committed by the ruling socialists throughout the tenure of now-deposed dictator Nicolás Maduro. She was originally sanctioned in September 2018 during President Donald Trump’s first term alongside her brother and current head of the National…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Beat,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) discussed the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court and stated that it’s true that “times have changed” since the 14th Amendment’s ratification, “But the Constitution remains the same, and that has not been changed.” Jeffries said, “[T]he Constitution, the 14th Amendment, the birthright citizenship clause is very clear. And, as, I think it was Justice Roberts pointed out, while the Trump administration, for whatever reason, is arguing that times have changed, of course, that is, in fact, the case. This was a Reconstruction amendment.…

A Democratic challenger in a battleground Arizona district raised over $2 million in the first quarter of the year, an eye-popping haul that suggested donors are bullish about Democrats’ chances of taking the House.

According to a Reuters report on Thursday, Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar has somehow managed to acquire Chinese and Turkish-made combat drones for his arsenal, even though Libya has been under a weapons embargo since 2011. Reuters pointed to commercial satellite photography that showed a trio of late-model drones parked at the Al Khadim airbase in eastern Libya, which is controlled by Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) and its political wing, which started calling itself the “Government of National Stability” (GNS) about four years ago. The airbase appears to have been modified to conceal and service the new drones. The other…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Fox News Contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley discussed the birthright citizenship case in front of the Supreme Court and said that it was “hilarious” to listen to the liberal justices, “who rarely allow the language of the Constitution to stand in the way of a preferred interpretation,” channeling the late Justice Antonin Scalia with how they read the Constitution. Turley said, “[T]hese justices really were grappling with over 100 years of precedent. The hilarious aspect of this, Laura, and I’m sure you felt the same way,…

If last year’s Republican megabill served as Congress’ gateway drug to party-line government funding, the GOP’s latest spending plan makes clear it was habit-forming. Nine months ago, Republicans used the budget reconciliation process to skirt a Democratic filibuster and enact more than $280 billion for the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. It shattered conventional wisdom on Capitol Hill that reconciliation’s special power couldn’t — and shouldn’t — be used to circumvent the across-the-aisle work Congress does each year to fund federal agencies. Now President Donald Trump has given congressional Republicans until June 1 to fund Immigration and Customs…

A community that lost over two dozen members to an invasion of unknown gunmen on Palm Sunday, the beginning of the holiest week of the year for Christians, experienced a resurgence of mob attacks on random locals on Wednesday following the lifting of a curfew, Nigerian government officials confirmed. The attacks, widely believed to be linked to the years of genocidal violence that Nigerian Christians have faced in the country’s Middle Belt region, targeted the Angwan Rukuba of Jos, the capital of Plateau state. Plateau has experienced some of the most gruesome attacks by jihadists, typically migrating from the majority-Muslim north,…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” MS NOW Political Analyst Claire McCaskill discussed the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court and said that the conservative justices are trying “to ignore both the plain language of the United States Constitution and the plain meaning of the United States Constitution” and therefore, they “are not conservative justices. These are liberal justices that are trying to legislate from the bench based on the stroke of a pen of one president.” McCaskill said, “I sat in the United States Senate, and interviewed potential justices for the Supreme Court and for…
