The left-wing Labour government in Britain is facing accusations of seeking to cover up what is going on inside the criminal justice system by deleting one of the largest court records archives. The Ministry of Justice has ordered Courstdesk to delete its court records archive, which journalists and media organisations have used to inform the public about crimes in their communities. The organisation said it has been used by over 1,500 journalists from 39 media organisations since it was created in 2021 under the previous Conservative government, in a bid to “improve coverage of the courts by the news media”.…

The Supreme Court Can’t Stop Trade Rebalancing — Even if It Tries The legal establishment in Washington has convinced itself that the Supreme Court is about to ride to the rescue of the global trade status quo. Lawyers at white-shoe firms are telling their multinational clients to hold tight: the courts will strike down the President’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and the whole trade rebalancing project will collapse. They’re wrong. Not because the Justices won’t strike down the tariffs. They might. But because the administration has a path forward that doesn’t depend on tariff authority…

Well, I’ve characterized immigration and mass migration as civilizational warfare. Is the latest weapon deployed in this war a Bad Bunny? On this week’s episode of The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer, he and co-host Eric Eggers get into the political reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show at the Super Bowl. For Schweizer, author of a brand-new, bestselling book on immigration, there’s more than a few fake passes. The Bad Bunny halftime show, completely in Spanish, has generated a backlash among conservatives who feel it’s disrespectful to American culture, and corresponding cheering from political liberals angry about President Trump’s immigration…

A DHS shutdown is coming Friday night, and there’s no telling how long it could last. The White House on Wednesday night sent Congress the legislative text of its immigration enforcement counterproposal, a White House official and two people granted anonymity to disclose the private action told POLITICO. But key Democrats have already said they don’t believe the administration is serious enough about reining in the immigration agencies, all but guaranteeing a funding lapse despite the text exchange. — State of play: Senators are headed into doomed DHS appropriations votes Thursday. Majority Leader John Thune teed up a vote to…

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) told lawmakers in that country on Thursday that communist North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has begun the process of formalizing his daughter, believed to be named Kim Ju-ae, as his heir to the leadership of the country. The repressive and secretive North Korean stage rarely offers information about the ruling Kim dynasty’s members and little is known about Kim Ju-ae. Her existence was first confirmed by former basketball star Dennis Rodman, who called her “Ju-ae” in public comments, and she is believed to be about 13 years old, though no official birthday is publicly…

Teachers and school administrators across the country continue to lead children out of classrooms and off school grounds into often violence-prone and dangerous left-wing protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On the west coast, for instance, teachers at Issaquah High School in Issaquah, Washington, helped students begin an anti-ICE protest which soon exploded in violence as they began beating up a mother this week. After the violent confrontation, school principal Erin Connolly dismissed the incident by admitting that there was violence but waving it all off because there were no “serious injuries.” Connolly also did not condemn the violence…

Former Rep. Billy Long apologized to lawmakers for a private joke he made to former House colleagues saying Iceland would be the “52nd state” with him as its governor. Appearing Thursday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as ambassador to the Arctic nation moved to clean up a diplomatic mess of his own making. “It was totally inappropriate,” Long told senators, describing the remark as an attempt at humor that did not land well. “I just hope that the people in Iceland will give me a second chance to make a first impression.” Long’s…
