Vice President JD Vance launched a broad agency investigation of the expanding H-1B visa program on Tuesday, confronting a scheme that has pushed millions of American graduates out of jobs, homes, and careers since the 1990s. “I’m proud to announce that the federal Department of Labor has started dozens of subpoenas and investigations into foreign fraudsters who are trying to take advantage of the H-1B visa program,” Vance told an audience in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He added:  Here’s a simple principle, ladies and gentlemen: American jobs ought to go to American workers and not foreign fraudsters, and the Department of Labor is fighting…

The House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation will hit the one-year mark later this month, and the saga isn’t ending anytime soon. No matter which party ends up in control in the next Congress, the Oversight panel will remain under pressure to continue to investigate the late convicted sex offender and the web of power players who may have been complicit in his crimes. Democrats are making clear that they view the committee’s work under Republican leadership as incomplete and that the Epstein case will be central to their oversight of President Donald Trump’s administration if they win the majority…

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has accused the Westminster establishment of cowering and being too scared to stand against the Brexit champion in the upcoming by-election in Clacton. On Tuesday, Mr Farage sensationally announced his resignation from Parliament, saying he would put his political future in the hands of his constituents as he faces a parliamentary standards committee investigation into donations from friends made before he became an MP. As the donations were made before he entered the House of Commons in 2024 and were not made to politically influence him, Mr Farage has argued that he did not need…

Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin said the Republican Party didn’t get to take the “moral high ground” because Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner faces new allegations of rape. Co-host Sara Haines said, “It takes tremendous courage for sexual assault victims to speak of what’s been done to them, and especially in such a public way, so I’m glad people have gotten to the point of the off-ramp. But, like Alyssa, I was off Platner a long time ago due to so many problematic things you just named as well, but it is the disgusting time in…

Now, it’s opening the door once again. “Senate Majority PAC is committed to defeating her and electing a Democratic majority in November,” spokesperson Lauren French said of Collins on X, shortly after Platner’s announcement Wednesday evening that he was ending…

President Donald Trump faces some stiff bipartisan opposition in Congress if he intends to proceed with selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, as he suggested when he arrived in Ankara for the NATO summit on Tuesday. Turkey was one of the NATO members involved in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program from the beginning, 25 years ago, but it was kicked out of the program in July 2019, under the first Trump administration. Trump reluctantly banned F-35 sales to Turkey because it insisted on purchasing Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles despite repeated pleas and warnings from the U.S. and other NATO…
