During CNN’s election coverage on Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that while he doesn’t agree with Hasan Piker that America deserved 9/11, “we need a big tent. And I think people like Piker should be welcome into that, certainly.” He also stated that the choice between Democratic Strategist James Carville and Piker isn’t “much of a choice” and “you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe has…

President Donald Trump panned Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in a social media post, calling the progressive Democrat a “Communist, who is not liked in Detroit,” while alleging without evidence rampant voter fraud in the state. “Wayne County (Detroit) in Michigan is one of the most corrupt voting areas in the United States, if not the World,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday. “It is strictly Third World!

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Francesca Hong, the radical leftist running for governor of Wisconsin, has been in the news for the last two days over negative comments she once made about Thanksgiving being a symbol of colonialism and ‘the original superspreader.’ Well, the polling on that must have come in because now Hong is out there telling people that Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday and she totally means it, everyone. These people have no shame. They will literally look you in the face and say whatever they think will open the doors of power for them. They think no one…

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, one of the only Western leaders to have ever ended a small boats crisis in modern times, decried the “peaceful invasion” of Europe and has given Reform UK’s border crisis plan the nod, party leader Nigel Farage said. Nigel Farage launched Operation Fortress earlier this week, the Reform UK party policy to end the southern border small migrant boat crisis by enabling the military — predominantly the Royal Navy and Royal Marines — to enforce the border and engage in hot pushbacks against migrants attempting to break into the country.

The Reaction Function Fundamentalists Are Lost in a Maze of Mirrors Yesterday, we argued that Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh should resist demands that he publicly articulate the Fed’s monetary-policy so-called “reaction function.” But since many of Warsh’s critics persist in their errant views, it’s worth expanding on that argument.

According to a Federal Register notice set to be published Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement intends to award the agreement to Houston-based…

The Senate Commerce Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to advance the Kids Online Safety Act, a key measure that would require companies to develop online platforms with children’s safety in mind — but offered few signs that Congress has reached consensus on the debate about how to protect young people on the internet. The measure, championed by Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), would increase protections for minors’ data and require platforms to give users the option to opt out of personalized algorithms. “We’re sending a message to Big Tech that the era of Big Tech profiting off of…
