TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida is pushing back against assertions that the state’s new congressional map was drawn to help Republicans, arguing in a new legal filing that other states such as Virginia and Illinois have engaged in much more blatant partisan gerrymandering. Voting rights and civil rights groups have filed multiple lawsuits challenging a new map pushed into law by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis. They have argued that the map, which could result in Republicans picking up four seats, is a clear violation of voter approved anti-gerrymandering standards and “one of the most extreme congressional maps” enacted in the past…
The floundering left-wing Labour Party government in Britain appears intent on imposing as much authoritarianism as possible on the public while it still remains in power, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer using the King’s Speech on Wednesday to confirm plans to introduce a Digital ID system while plans for deep surveillance of private digital devices are revealed. When in doubt, break glass for more Blairism appears to be the order of the day. Fighting for his political life following a disastrous performance in last week’s local elections, Prime Minister Starmer has not only turned to major figures from the…
Hundreds of refugees fled their homes in Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince on Monday amid a fresh wave of gang violence. The situation became so dangerous that hospitals shut down, Doctors Without Borders suspended humanitarian operations, and Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime suspended plans for the first presidential election in a decade. Haiti has been overrun by violent gangs ever since the assassination of President Jovenal Moise in July 2021. The government controls only a small portion of Port-au-Prince, and gangsters have rampaged across the countryside to loot, murder, and rape rural citizens. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) found in…
Former United States Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai, who served in the Biden administration, says President Donald Trump’s “message of power” on trade and his use of tariffs is strongly backed by blue-collar Americans “aggrieved by the era of free trade.” In an interview with Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka on Monday, Tai acknowledged that Trump’s tariff agenda, which brought in a record-breaking $200 billion in revenue last year alone, has won massive support from working-class communities that have borne the brunt of free trade for decades. “Workers, especially blue-collar workers, have been the ones that have faired the least well…
Monday on CNN’s “NewsNight,” network contributor Bakari Sellers made the declaration that Republicans had “swapped out Klan hoods for Brooks Brothers suits.” Host Abby Phillip said, “You have the president, President Trump sending a message to South Carolina, your home state Bakari, saying the South Carolina state Senate which has a big vote tomorrow on redistricting. He says, ‘Republicans be bold and courageous, just like the Republicans of the great state of Tennessee, where last week moved the US House primaries to August. Leave the rest. This is on the same schedule. Everything will be fine. Get it done.’ So…

Vice President JD Vance brushed aside President Donald Trump’s speculation about his and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s potential presidential campaign while likening Trump’s fascination with the heir to GOP leadership to “The Apprentice.” Vance told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday that he isn’t thinking about 2028, while calling Rubio a “very, very dear friend” and insisting he’s concentrating on his role in the Trump administration. But the president appears invested in the possibility of Vance and Rubio dueling to be his successor. The New York Times reported on Sunday that Trump has been polling friends and advisers…

TruPlay, a Christian entertainment platform for kids, was told by Google that they are not allowed to advertise on the Google Play store, and more recently, that their app update was denied due to so-called “inappropriate” content not suitable for children. The content in question, however, is a depiction of Jesus Christ on the cross. When Breitbart News asked the tech giant to comment on its treatment of TruPlay, it backtracked, calling the decision an “error.” Breitbart News spoke to Brent Dusing, the founder and CEO of TruPlay, who says it “transforms screen time with safe, bible-based games and stories,” about…
President Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he will secure the release of all political prisoners of the socialist regime in Venezuela. “We’re going to get them all out,” Trump told reporters before departing for China. “As you know, we’ve already freed many political prisoners, and the rest will be released too.” Throughout the nearly three decades that it has been in power, the Venezuelan socialist regime has unjustly detained thousands of individuals — including minors — and kept them as political prisoners, often accusing them of “treason,” “conspiracy,” and other spurious charges. The Venezuelan non-governmental organization Foro Penal denounced…
