Congress on Thursday passed legislation that would restore funding to key parts of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, which ends a record 76-day shutdown of the department. The House on Thursday passed the funding package by voice vote to partially fund DHS, which the Senate passed more than a month ago. President Donald Trump will likely sign the legislation to fully fund the Coast Guard, Transpiration Security Administration (TSA), Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and along with other agencies…

GOP unity over the Iran war started to crack Thursday when Sen. Susan Collins of Maine voted with Democrats to halt the conflict, marking the first time a Republican has changed their vote on the military campaign in the Middle East. While the vote failed, the shift signaled President Donald Trump could soon face far more resistance over the conflict. That’s especially true as he blows past a legal deadline this week for the U.S. to exit the war without congressional authorization. Just two Republicans — Collins and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky — joined Democrats to support curtailing Trump…

CEO Sam Altman “stole a charity” and betrayed its founding nonprofit mission, the billionaire has claimed Tech billionaire Elon Musk has charged that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman “stole a charity” and called himself a “fool” for funding the company, claiming that the ChatGPT maker had strayed from its original nonprofit mission.Musk sued OpenAI in 2024, alleging he was misled when he co-founded and funded the company in 2015 on the understanding it would remain a nonprofit. The AI firm, now valued at about $85 billion, has since restructured, with a nonprofit parent retaining a stake in its for-profit arm, including…

Maritime logistics and intelligence company Windward AI published a report on Wednesday that claimed Iran has slipped up to $800 million worth of crude oil past the U.S. Navy blockade by electronically disguising its tankers as Iraqi ships. “Deceptive shipping practices are escalating, with 10 Iran-trading, U.S.-sanctioned tankers actively spoofing their locations to appear anchored off Basrah, Iraq,” Windward AI reported. “This reflects a long-established evasion tactic. Tankers manipulate AIS signals and transmit false voyage data indicating Iraqi destinations, often supported by fake ownership messages,” the report said.

The Chinese Communist Party announced on Wednesday that it had dramatically expanded the scope of the country’s known oil and gas reserves, claiming to have found 225 “large and medium-sized crude oil and natural gas fields” between 2021 and 2025. China is the world’s largest oil importer, maintaining large demand for fuel but not enough oil deposits to address that demand domestically. While often considered not a major oil exporter due to having to meet that demand at home, China is actually the fifth-largest producer of oil. In addition to its production, China is home to a large number of…

A Republican strategist is helping Americans coordinate small-dollar donations to help pro-American candidates win primary races against pro-amnesty establishment candidates. “The problem a lot of grassroots candidates face is they never get the necessary funds to actually get their message heard by people,” said strategist Ryan Girdusky, who has founded Homeland PAC. He told Breitbart News: When they do [get the funds], they can succeed, especially if it’s about immigration, like Dave Brat did [in 2014 Virginia]. So, by working on and making sure these messages can get out and spending [funds] on behalf of these candidates, I think we could…

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and pardon attorney Ed Martin traded personal insults Thursday on social media, a remarkably public feud between a sitting Republican senator and member of the administration. Tuesday’s sparring comes after Tillis, who helped sink Martin’s nomination to be U.S. attorney in Washington and is leaving the Senate at the end of his term next January, incorrectly asserted in a POLITICO interview Thursday that Martin was no longer employed by the Justice Department. Martin responded in a now-deleted post on X: “Hey @SenThomTillis: are you ok? Having memory issues for retirement? You called me on my cellphone…

Elon Musk repeatedly clashed with OpenAI’s attorney during a heated cross-examination on the second day of a landmark trial that could shape the future trajectory of AI development. NBC News reports that the courtroom fireworks took place in Oakland, where Musk appeared as a witness in his lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Musk alleges that Altman violated the public trust by personally enriching himself through the AI company they established together in 2015 as a nonprofit organization. During his testimony, Musk delivered sharp criticism of OpenAI’s current structure. “They can’t have it both ways,” he stated from the witness…

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has placed himself at odds with the Trump administration in the name of free speech, voicing his negative opinion on the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) investigation into Disney and ABC after late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about President Donald Trump dying just days before a gunman attempted to assassinate him last weekend. The FCC, led by Trump-appointed Chairman Brendan Carr, moved to speed up the renewal process for the broadcast licenses for Disney’s eight ABC-owned local television stations right after Kimmel joked that First Lady Melania Trump looks like an “expectant widow” during his…

A staffer for Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) who was arrested in the Capitol last year for carrying a pistol without a license had his charges quickly dropped, according to the Justice Department. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia decided not to prosecute the staffer, Kevin Batts, in April 2025 after it received documentation from Batts showing that his “New Jersey retired law enforcement carry permit was active,” Timothy Lauer, a spokesperson for the office, said in a statement Thursday. Batts had been arrested about two weeks prior. Batts is a retired Newark police detective who currently serves…
