China helpfully demonstrated how grey-zone tactics work by…

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is taking the Democrat Party establishment head-on in the greatest test of his political clout since his unlikely election victory in November.

Two Texas Senate polls put Republican Ken Paxton ahead of Democrat James Talarico: one has Paxton up by two points, while another finds the race moving from a previous Talarico lead to a narrow Paxton edge.

Remember when that leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade was released and exploded in the news cycle?

Roske heard about the leaked document, purchased…
