Migrants with criminal records may still be eligible for residence permits in Spain if they have a Spanish national relative, the nation’s Supreme Court determined on Monday. The ruling was issued as part of a broader legal challenge presented by several social organizations against the new Immigration Regulations implemented by the Spanish government in May 2025. Among its contents, the text contained provisions that automatically barred migrants with criminal records from renewing residence permits in Spain. Per the newspaper ABC, the criminal records provisions factored not just the time that the migrant had lived in Spain — but also any country in which the…

A coalition of economists and researchers, including 15 Nobel laureates, has issued an urgent warning that AI could transform the global economy at an unprecedented pace, requiring immediate policy action to address potential widespread job displacement.

Monday on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) acknowledged the push for Congress to pass the so-called Save America Act with the looming August recess and a potential partisan shift on Capitol Hill. “So, Senator, I want to get your thoughts here,” host Cheryl Casone said. “Do you think the Senate is going to be able to pass the SAVE America Act in any way, shape, or form before the August recess?” Hagerty replied, “Well, I agree with Senator [Mike] Lee. I think we should try every aspect available to us. I’m one of the co-sponsors of this…

CMMG will fulfill orders in restricted areas if the Chief of Police or Sheriff of that respective…

House GOP leaders are closer to appeasing the group of hard-liners who have kept the chamber’s floor frozen for weeks. Several of the rebel Republicans on Monday told POLITICO they will need to see concrete steps on legislation codifying President Donald Trump’s border policies before they’d take a procedural vote to unlock floor business. While it’s unclear what exactly could satisfy them, several said they want more than a promise from leaders to vote on immigration legislation. “It’s not about promises at this point,” Rep. Chip Roy said Monday. “We need to see movement.” Negotiations appear to be getting close:…

More than two-thirds (70%) of Americans no longer consider their country the greatest nation on Earth, while 64%…

On Monday, on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said it “makes a lot of sense” for South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster to appoint Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister as interim senator. Earlier on Truth Social, President Donald Trump posted, “I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham’s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina. This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” Host Dana Bash said, “President Trump just posted on Truth Social a few minutes ago that he wants the South Carolina…

On the topic of marking to market… I’ve talked about the private equity and in particular private credit bubble, and how multiple PE funds have gated investors. Now we see the dolts running Harvard’s money are neck deep in this garbage. Not surprised, really. The liquidity trap the poor suckers at Harvard (spineless pointy shoes) are facing is ultimately a forced mark-to-market event in slow motion. Private equity funds have been able to paper over deteriorating portfolio valuations because the exit environment has been essentially closed. No IPOs, no strategics buying at 2021 multiples, no secondaries at par. As long…
