Israel and Greece sealed a historic $3.5 billion defense agreement Monday that will see Jerusalem build Athens a complete multi-layered air defense network, significantly expanding the two countries’ strategic partnership amid growing security challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean. The roughly €3 billion government-to-government agreement, known in Greece as “Achilles Shield,” is the largest defense export deal in the history of Israeli-Greek relations and one of the largest ever signed by Israel, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry. The agreement also marks the first time Israel will supply another country with an entire integrated defense architecture capable of countering threats ranging…

Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s search for an intern has drawn criticism because she wants someone who can keep their mouth shut. The intern, who will not be paid, will work for Clinton’s office in New York City, the New York Post reported Sunday. The Daybook posting said, “The Office of Hillary Rodham Clinton is seeking Fall Interns from September 9, 2026 — November 13, 2026.” “Interns will provide support to our staff, assisting on a wide range of projects,” it continued. Most notably, the posting said the office is looking for someone who has a “high level of professionalism and discretion.” Clinton’s…

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted Republicans Monday for being “pro-data center without any restraints,” making his strongest rebuke yet of the tech industry’s massive infrastructure buildout as it becomes a key issue in midterm campaigns.“Donald Trump and Republicans are divorced from reality,” Jeffries said at a Capitol Hill news conference. “They think that the affordability crisis is a hoax. Donald Trump and Republicans have made clear they love inflation. Donald Trump and Republicans have told the American people directly, ‘We don’t think about your personal financial situation.’”“So the Republicans — it should come as no surprise — are pro-data…

Sen. Cory Booker on Monday slammed his Republican opponent for “bigotry” and “vile” remarks after saying Islam “doesn’t seem to be able to cohabitate with other religions” while citing debunked or exaggerated anecdotes about Muslims in Europe. Justin Murphy, who’s little known and virtually unfunded, is the longest of long shots to defeat Booker in November. But his words could be a headache for down-ballot Republicans in competitive races throughout New Jersey, a diverse state with one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, and where Republicans made surprising inroads with the Muslim community in 2024. And as the…

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to proceed with White House Ballroom construction in a 5-4 vote. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts dissented. The liberal justices joined Roberts’ dissent. After a fierce legal battle with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Trump DOJ asked the US Supreme Court earlier this month to intervene. DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued that the White House Ballroom acts as a military asset because it has a subterranean bunker and rooftop drone port. Last week, Chief Justice Roberts allowed construction work on Trump’s White House Ballroom to continue… temporarily. Roberts…

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov Monday at the G20 Finance Ministers meeting in Asheville, North Carolina. A Treasury spokesman told Breitbart News the meeting was about President Trump’s peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. The meeting comes just a week after CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Russian intelligence officials in Moscow. Both the Kremlin and U.S. officials said little about the discussions. It was the first publicly-known visit to Moscow by the head of the CIA since 2021. An Axios report said that Ratcliffe floated a trilateral meeting between President Trump, Russian President Putin,…

President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened a prominent NBC broadcast journalist with possible punishment by US media regulators as the Republican expressed disappointment with coverage of his candidate endorsements ahead of November’s midterm elections. Trump took to his Truth Social platform to attack Kristen Welker as the “unpopular ‘hostess’ of the once great Meet the Press” talk show. He objected to her having said the president had had “mixed results” on his endorsement of political candidates in party primaries, insisting the races had gone his way 98 percent to 100 percent of the time. Welker, speaking early Sunday to a…

Voters chose market access without submission, showing that Brussels is not the only path between dependence and isolation Well, what do you know! It turns out that you really can crawl into bed with Brussels on your own terms, and be friends with benefits, all without the need to officially shack up. The people of Iceland have just done something that would usually be considered political blasphemy here in Europe. They’ve decided that their country would like to remain in charge of itself, voting 53% to 47% in a referendum not to pursue getting officially hitched to the EU.It’s a rarity…

Op-ed by Texas General Land Office Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D. Every American depends on three things that are so fundamental they often go unnoticed until they are threatened: dependable energy, a secure food supply, and a safe nation. A nation that cannot fuel itself, feed itself, or fortify itself cannot remain prosperous for long.  If the lights go out, if grocery shelves empty and prices spike because supply chains fail, if critical infrastructure becomes vulnerable, the consequences are felt in every community. These challenges are often discussed separately, but they are deeply connected. As Texas Land Commissioner, I lead the…
