Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman said President Donald Trump had been “remarkably unconcerned about the midterms.” Host George Stephanopoulos said, “We’ve had this series of public statements from the president over the last several weeks indicating he doesn’t seem to care that much about the midterms. What did he tell you?” Haberman said, “He has been remarkably unconcerned about the midterms. We didn’t get into in-depth with him about how, you know, he views the upcoming elections. But we do know from people we’ve spoken to around him and things he has said publicly…

The region enters a fragile pause — with diplomacy, deterrence and nuclear risk back at the center At the start of the US and Israeli military campaign against Iran, we identified seven lessons from the new conflict. Sanctions, we noted, are often followed by force; pressure on Iran would be long-term; concessions to the attacking side wouldn’t work; the leadership of the targeted country would become one of the main targets; internal unrest would encourage external intervention; support from friendly states would matter, but wouldn’t solve the victim’s problems, and finally, the balance of power would remain the decisive factor…

Wikipedia’s article about the tribute song “We Are Charlie Kirk” was included in the front page’s “Did you know” section in mid-May after receiving “Good article” status, one of the site’s highest quality rankings. Its front page entry noted an outlet calling it the “worst song” of 2025. The Wikipedia article about the song memorializing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination last year denigrates conservatives who appreciated the song’s tribute to Kirk with particular focus on its suspected AI origins. Earlier iterations of the article contained even more negative attacks, such as comments cited to radical left…

Mexico defeated Ecuador after Mexican fans partied all night, disrupting the Ecuadorian team’s sleep the night before the game, and now those fans have done the same thing to England. The night before England and Mexico clash in a pivotal game that will advance one of them to the quarterfinals, fans of El Tri gathered outside the hotel where the English team is staying. Fans set off fireworks, sang songs, chanted, and generally raised a ruckus in a bid to prevent the English players from getting the rest they needed before the big game. The disruptions come athwart the best…

By prosecuting individuals for reposting RT content, European censors are trying to scare unwanted beliefs off their narrative It’s not every day that an EU member state has the opportunity to push back in favor of freedom. At least not without elections. But a German court did have that chance – and promptly blew it on behalf of European citizens everywhere.Back in 2022 when the Ukraine war was ramping up, the European Commission made an executive order banning Russian media broadcasting in the EU. Meaning that you couldn’t – and still can’t – access RT from within the EU, either…

Spotify has taken down approximately 500,000 streams from Malcolm Todd’s popular song “Earrings” following concerns that the track’s chart performance was artificially manipulated by gamblers on prediction market platform Kalshi. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Spotify’s decision came just days after “Earrings” reached the top position on Spotify’s daily U.S. chart for the first time. The song’s sudden surge in popularity has been connected to alleged manipulation schemes involving bets placed on prediction market Kalshi. According to a source at Spotify, the company has requested that both Kalshi and Polymarket remove Spotify’s logos from their websites. The source emphasized that…

Wednesday on FNC’s “The Will Cain Show,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said that while he would support a legislative fix to birthright citizenship, he was pessimistic it would meet the standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court in its recent ruling. “I will support legislation or a constitutional amendment,” he said. “I think this court decision pretty much indicates that the likelihood that legislation will fix this is very, very small. But I will support legislation. On the Constitution and on changing the amendment, yes, it’s hard. It takes a two-thirds vote in the Congress and then a three-fourths vote…

(AP) — One person was killed in a Ukrainian attack on Russian-occupied Crimea, Moscow-installed officials said in the early hours of Sunday, as Russian and Ukrainian leaders held separate calls with U.S. President Donald Trump on ending the war, now in its fifth year. Two others were injured in the attack on northern Crimea, including one in a serious condition, the Russia-installed regional Gov. Sergei Aksyonov wrote on Telegram.

President Donald Trump trolled some of his biggest celebrity critics on Wednesday night by sharing an AI video mocking them for having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The video also depicted the president as “Doctor Trump,” who advised his patients suffering from TDS to “turn off fake news” and drink a Diet Coke in order to feel better. “Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with TDS? The symptoms can be relentless. Fortunately, I’m Doctor Trump, and I have a treatment plan,” the president’s AI character said in the video, as the reassuring tones of a pharmaceutical ad played in the background. “Let’s…

Israel’s refusal to withdraw, Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm, and new strikes near the Golan Heights point to a conflict that is expanding, not ending Israel has no intention of leaving Lebanon. At least, it won’t do so now and on terms that would suit Beirut (not to mention Hezbollah and Tehran). Moreover, in parallel with the Lebanese campaign, West Jerusalem is reactivating operations in Syria: Israeli forces launched an artillery strike on the village of Abidin in the western part of Syria’s Daraa Governorate, and, according to regional sources, Israeli aircraft conducted flights over the rural areas of Daraa and Quneitra…
