The acting Bulgarian PM is on a mission to give whatever he can to Vladimir Zelensky before he’s booted from office Bulgarian Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov’s days are numbered, and his caretaker government is rushing to tie his country to Ukraine before a potential populist uprising. It’s about gas, influence, and keeping Sofia marching in lockstep with Brussels.Gyurov was appointed acting prime minister in February, after Rosen Zhelyazkov resigned in November under the pressure of street protests and persistent allegations of corruption. His mandate is non-existent, and his term in office has lasted fewer than eight weeks. Nevertheless, he’s making…

When global supply chains collapse, the pain is not felt immediately. Tankers that left their destinations before the war with Iran began are still arriving at their destinations, products that were manufactured prior to the war still fill our shelves, and we are still eating food that was produced last year. So even though global supply chains are collapsing all around us, most people don’t feel it yet. But if this war with Iran drags on for months, the pain that we will soon experience will be unbelievable. Anyone that thinks that the global economy can continue to function at…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said that the Iranian regime “can, on some level of truth, say, we just took on America and Israel and fought them to a tie, although maybe even more than a tie.” And argued that “anybody in history would know you cannot bomb an adversary into submission.” Warner said, “Lawrence, we have spent 100,000 sorties against them. We have bombed them. But anybody in history would know you cannot bomb an adversary into submission.” He added that “in so many ways, 46 days in, America is less strong.…

Anthropic has publicly come out against a proposed Illinois law supported by OpenAI that would protect AI companies from legal responsibility if their systems are used to inflict large-scale harm, such as mass casualties or property damage exceeding $1 billion. Wired reports that the proposed legislation, known as SB 3444, is creating a sharp divide between two of America’s most prominent AI companies over how the technology should be governed. While policy analysts believe the bill faces long odds of passage, it has highlighted growing political tensions between Anthropic and OpenAI as both organizations expand their lobbying efforts nationwide.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) released a report early Tuesday morning revealing how the Biden administration systematically targeted pro-life activists for FACE Act prosecutions, often at the behest of pro-abortion organizations. The nearly 900-page report constitutes a review of approximately 700,000 internal DOJ records showing the Biden administration weaponizing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against pro-life Americans by engaging in biased enforcement, demanding harsher sentencing, authorizing aggressive arrest tactics, collaborating with pro-abortion groups for surveillance, and making inappropriate comments about religion. “This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” Acting Deputy Attorney…

Sen. Ron Wyden sent a letter to his Democratic colleagues urging them to reject a clean renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ahead of an expected House vote on Wednesday. The federal surveillance authority expires Monday, and House GOP leadersdelayed a renewal vote set for Wednesday after disagreements with some Republicans over including amendments addressing privacy concerns. The White House and Republican leaders are calling for renewal without any changes, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers are demanding guardrails to address concerns AI can significantly enhance the government’s mass surveillance capabilities. “With recent developments in AI…

The war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran may have paused, but it is far from over. Its consequences, however, are already being felt, not just across the Middle East, but globally.Iran’s desperate confrontation with two nuclear powers which have a vast network of allies and client states represents a move toward the erosion of the remnants of a unipolar international system. Tehran’s resistance is accelerating the relentless, albeit gradual, shift toward multipolarity. It’s often said that it is easier to destroy than to build and in that sense, US President Donald Trump has played an unintended but…

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday the war with Iran is “very close to being over,” arguing recent U.S. actions prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon while signaling negotiations could resume imminently as the regime “want[s] to make a deal very badly.” In excerpts from a pre-recorded interview set to air Wednesday morning on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo, Trump defended the military campaign and suggested Iran would struggle to recover from the damage inflicted. “I had to divert because if I didn’t do that, right now you would have Iran with a nuclear weapon,” Trump said. “And if they…

The following is an exclusive excerpt from Rep. Elise Stefanik’s new book, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities. *** On Sunday after the hearing on December 10, 2023, the Harvard Corporation and the Harvard Board of Overseers were slated to meet to determine the fate of Claudine Gay’s presidency after her atrocious testimony at our congressional hearing. The intensely secretive and opaque Harvard Corporation is chock-full of senior Obama administration officials. It was later reported by the New York Post that President Obama called the Harvard Corporation Board before their meeting…

President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure for Republicans to “unify” behind a clean, 18-month extension of a key spy power — making a last minute plea to GOP holdouts refusing to bend without certain amendments. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump echoed past calls to House Republicans urging them to “UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote” for a bill reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which contains a controversial provision that allows for warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens and has divided lawmakers over privacy concerns. A procedural vote teeing up final passage…
