On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) argued that if Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in the November midterms, “it’s really important that we stick together as moderates” in order to ensure that some of the “proposed crazy legislation” from the DSA members “does not get to the floor.” Host Blake Burman asked, “What happens if DSA members are in the next Congress and Democrats take over?” Gillen responded, “Well, look, we already have the Squad, right? So, they’re already there. But it’s really important that we stick together as moderates to make…
Image: video screenshot via X Socialists are all about “the worker,” right? That is what they spout again and again. So the irony of what is happening at the Socialism 2026 conference being held this weekend in Chicago is rich and lays bare the labor rhetoric vs. how champagne socialists actually behave. The communist, Mao Zedong-loving influencer Hasan Piker is a featured speaker at the event. The gathering is endorsed by groups including the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Organized Communities Against Deportations, and the Black Rose Anarchist Federation. While good little Bolsheviks entered the venue to plan the demise…
On Friday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) responded to Iran appearing to have the willingness to use the midterm elections to their advantage by saying that the U.S. needs to get out of the war because people care about costs. Host Jonathan Capehart asked, “Rep. Dean, it seems Iran is very aware and willing to take advantage of the midterms to prolong, even escalate the war that is reportedly worrying our Gulf allies. What’s your take?” Dean answered, “Well, it’s understandable. And your reporting around the growing confidence for Iran, sadly, they — and I…
On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) responded to a question on whether she wants the DSA candidates running as Democrats in New York to win their races by saying that they’ll likely win, “But I do hope that moderates like me will hold them in line and make sure that we do not see our party shift to the left.” Host Blake Burman asked, “Do you want those DSA candidates in New York, Congresswoman, to win their races as Democrats?” Gillen responded, “Well, look, if you look at some of the districts where they won,…
Last week, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced in Kiev that defense manufacturer MBDA had been authorized to disclose information concerning the British components of the SCALP missile, the French version of the long-range Storm Shadow, to Ukraine.Officially, the decision concerns documentation required to organize local assembly, but in practice, it could facilitate the transfer of blueprints, components, assembly kits or finished missiles.Moscow regards this technology transfer as the UK crossing a red line, as London hasn’t even attempted to shift responsibility onto intermediaries and the decision was publicly authorized by the prime minister. Britain has therefore assumed direct responsibility…
President Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office (September 4, 2026) President Trump on Friday again signaled that Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain could be hit by US forces “very soon,” suggesting that the US is surveilling the site near the Natanz nuclear complex for nuclear enrichment activity. Israeli intelligence claims that Iran has been rebuilding their nuclear program since last fall at the site. ABC’s Rachel Scott asked Trump about Vice President JD Vance’s comments a day earlier, where he said, “I wouldn’t call it a war. Right now, there is no active shooting,” and instead referred to it as a…
Tim Andrews spent 271 days living with a genetically modified pig kidney before receiving a human kidney transplant in January, giving new hope to patients struggling with dialysis, according to a paper published Thursday in the Lancet. The New York Times reports that Andrews was 66 when diabetes and high blood pressure destroyed his kidneys. He had survived two heart attacks, had no appetite, and was too weak to walk. “I was dying,” he said. His rare blood type made finding a matching human donor kidney even less likely, and he was one of roughly 90,000 people on the U.S. waiting…
President Trump’s envoys arrived in Russia on Saturday to work with officials on ending the war with Ukraine, a goal the American president has long been working towards. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were expected to present a fresh proposal regarding the situation, CBS News reported. Trump lamented during the G7 Summit in June that “tremendous” numbers of people were being killed monthly in the Ukraine war, per Breitbart News. “Look, Russia should make a deal. Russia’s lost tremendous amounts of people, and so has Ukraine,” he said. The CBS article continued: Mr. Trump told reporters on Friday he had…
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into Tesla’s Cybercab on Friday morning, just hours after the company put the first of the driverless vehicles on the streets of Austin, Texas. TechCrunch reports that Elon Musk’s Cybercab has no steering wheel and no pedals. That runs headlong into federal vehicle safety rules requiring manual controls even in robotaxis. The Department of Transportation has proposed dropping those requirements for vehicles built to drive themselves, but the change hasn’t taken effect yet. Tesla told NHTSA it self-certified the Cybercab as compliant with all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards anyway,…
The Justice Department’s civil rights section is investigating numerous allegations of anti-American discrimination by hiring managers and their companies, says Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. assistant attorney general for civil rights. “We have absolutely ramped this up big time, and it’s our main focus,” Dhillon told streamer Sara Gonzales on September 2. “Almost all of our new cases involving labor discrimination actually involve discrimination against Americans,” she said. “We’re working together with EEOC and the Department of Labor to put a stop to this discrimination and make sure there’s a level playing field for the American worker,” she said. Dhillon’s statements were…
