A survey of likely voters in New Hampshire highlights a competitive Senate landscape while a prominent Democratic figure prepares to reenter the state’s political scene ahead of a major party event. An Emerson College poll conducted March 21–23 among likely voters shows Rep. Chris Pappas (D) leading former Sen. John Sununu (R) by a narrow 45 percent to 44 percent margin in a hypothetical general election matchup. In a separate pairing, Pappas holds a wider advantage over former Sen. Scott Brown (R), 48 percent to 39 percent. The same survey indicates Sununu leading the Republican primary field with 48 percent…

President Donald Trump plans to send Congress a budget request April 3, detailing his policy and funding wish list for the fiscal year that begins in October, according to a spokesperson for the White House budget office. It’s unclear whether the president will also submit a supplemental military funding request at the same time, to aid the military in the U.S. conflict in Iran. For more than a week, the White House has been reviewing a Pentagon request for about $200 billion in emergency cash to support new military action in the Middle East. Trump already called in January for…

The pseudo-negotiations between Washington and Tehran are not real diplomacy, and the result could shake the world What is now being described as a negotiation process between Iran and the US is, in reality, not a genuine negotiation at all. There is still no full-fledged direct dialogue, no mutually accepted framework, no visible readiness for reciprocal concessions, and no sign of strategic trust between the parties.What exists instead is a fragmented exchange of signals through intermediaries, accompanied by military escalation, public warnings, political maneuvering, and demands that remain fundamentally irreconcilable. Washington continues to suggest that diplomatic contacts are moving forward,…

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Friday that strikes on Iran will “escalate and expand” if Iran keeps launching missiles. His warning was accompanied by what the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described as heavy strikes against targets in “the heart of Tehran,” including Iran’s missile production facilities. Speaking after the latest round of Iranian missiles targeting Israel’s cities was largely intercepted, Katz vowed Iran “will pay heavy, increasing prices for this war crime.” Katz was not speaking hyperbolically about Iran’s missile attacks, as they are literal war crimes involving unguided cluster munitions – weapons of mass civilian slaughter that…

Americans’ concerns about energy costs have not increased since the start of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, even as gas prices have jumped nearly a dollar a gallon, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday. Thirty-five percent of U.S. adults say they worry “a great deal” about the availability and affordability of energy, unchanged from a year ago and well below the 47 percent who said the same in 2022, when gas prices last spiked during the early months of the Russia-Ukraine war. The poll, conducted March 2–18 among 1,000 adults, began just two days after the Feb. 28 strikes…

Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed legislation this week banning law enforcement, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, from wearing masks, leaving them vulnerable to targeted harassment. The governor signed SCS for S3114 and 3216/A1743, which, according the March 25 press release, “Requires law enforcement officer[s] to reveal facial identity during certain public interactions and to present sufficient identification prior to arresting or detaining person.” In a statement describing the bills she signed, Sherrill said, “These bills underscore that here in New Jersey, we still follow the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.” “My focus as governor remains…

A growing number of House Republicans are airing public concerns about President Donald Trump‘s possible deployment of U.S. ground troops in Iran as the Pentagon sends thousands of American paratroopers and other servicemembers to the Middle East. Nearly every GOP lawmaker has voted to green-light Trump’s military campaign. But a growing number, including some veterans, are voicing new reservations as evidence mounts that Trump could escalate the war to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, secure Iran’s nuclear stockpile or accomplish other strategic goals. “I’m really, really hopeful this doesn’t turn into a boots-on-the-ground situation,” Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) said in…

Eyal Zamir reportedly told the cabinet he was “raising ten red flags” due to acute personnel shortages The Israel Defense Forces is “on the verge of collapse” due to acute personnel shortages, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has warned, according to local media. Opposition parties have accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of stalling on drafting ultra-Orthodox Jews.Military service is mandatory for most Israeli citizens, both men and women. However, members of the Haredi community have historically been exempt from conscription. While the Israeli Supreme Court revoked the exemption in June 2024, Netanyahu’s cabinet has so far delayed drafting ultra-Orthodox…

Author J.K. Rowling celebrated the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banning men from women’s sporting events. As Breitbart News reported this week, the IOC ruled that women’s sporting events will be limited to biological females. “Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females,” the IOC said in a statement, adding it will protect “fairness, safety and integrity in the female category.” J.K. Rowling celebrated the ruling, citing the case of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics as a female boxer despite…

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), who could face 50 years in prison in a federal case, will face the House Ethics Committee on Thursday about her alleged misconduct. The Democrat congresswoman will testify during a rare public hearing that could result in her expulsion from the House of Representatives. A sprawling federal indictment has accused the Florida congresswoman of stealing more than $5 million in disaster relief funds to finance her inaugural congressional race in 2021 and the purchase of luxury items, including an expensive diamond ring. She also allegedly participated in a straw donor scheme, wherein a donor makes a…
