The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced this week that April marked twelve consecutive months of zero releases of illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol at the southwest border with Mexico into the United States — a milestone officials say reflects the most secure border in American history under President Donald Trump. DHS reports a 94 percent drop in illegal border apprehensions compared to the Biden era, with daily crossings now lower than what agents encountered in a single hour at the height of the 2023 crisis. Twelve straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under President Donald Trump’s…

Speaker Mike Johnson said in an interview Friday morning that he still intends for the House to vote on changes to the Senate’s version of a stalled housing affordability package — despite intense opposition from White House officials and Senate Republicans. “Yeah, I don’t think we have the votes to pass the Senate bill as is, so we’re going to stand by the House product,” Johnson said. In doing so, Johnson is defying White House officials and GOP senators who are deeply opposed to his plan to amend the housing bill on the House floor next week and send it…

Republicans uneasy about the political risk of sending taxpayer dollars toward the new White House ballroom are hoping the Senate’s rule keeper will make the decision for them as soon as Friday. Lawmakers in both parties are watching closely for Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough to decide whether Republicans’ latest party-line bill can include a $1 billion Secret Service provision that could fund parts of President Donald Trump’s ballroom project. Bipartisan staff will meet with MacDonough Friday on that provision and the rest of the Judiciary Committee’s section of the bill, according to two people granted anonymity to disclose private scheduling.…

In Vietnam, it took six years.” More than 6 in 10 Americans now say President Donald Trump’s war in Iran was a “mistake,” according to a poll out Friday from the Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos. Within two months, the war—which has inflicted thousands of civilian deaths and caused gas prices to spike worldwide with little tangible gain—has reached levels of unpopularity that previous wars now seen as historic boondoggles took years to reach. The Post has asked the “mistake” for other major wars. But CNN senior political reporter Aaron Blake explained: “In Iraq, it…

Sounds like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has conceded defeat in the 2026 redistricting battle, but like George Costanza and the Jerk Store, he’s already plotting his revenge in 2028. If you take a deep breath, you can smell the failure laced with no small amount of humiliation… “In advance of 2028, where we will have additional states that will come online, including but not limited to New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Maryland,” says Jeffries. “That’s at least seven states. We will be able to unleash a decisive and forceful response to what they are…

A despairing German Chancellor Friedrich Merz claimed during an interview with the Spanish newspaper ABC that none of his predecessors had to ever put up with the same level of criticism he receives from social media users. “I only log on to social media occasionally, but if you look at what’s being said about me, how I’m being attacked and belittled… no Foreign Minister has ever had to put up with anything like this. I’m not complaining, but that’s just how it is,” Merz lamented. Merz spoke with ABC at a time when the ruling German government coalition marked its…
