A Democratic challenger in a battleground Arizona district raised over $2 million in the first quarter of the year, an eye-popping haul that suggested donors are bullish about Democrats’ chances of taking the House. JoAnna Mendoza, a Marine veteran challenging GOP Rep. Juan Ciscomani in Arizona’s 6th District, says she raised over $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. The massive haul, shared first with POLITICO, is the latest sign the district based around Tucson’s suburbs and the southeast Arizona desert could pose a headache for Republicans as they seek to maintain control of Congress. “That number shows that…

According to a Reuters report on Thursday, Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar has somehow managed to acquire Chinese and Turkish-made combat drones for his arsenal, even though Libya has been under a weapons embargo since 2011. Reuters pointed to commercial satellite photography that showed a trio of late-model drones parked at the Al Khadim airbase in eastern Libya, which is controlled by Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) and its political wing, which started calling itself the “Government of National Stability” (GNS) about four years ago. The airbase appears to have been modified to conceal and service the new drones. The other…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Fox News Contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley discussed the birthright citizenship case in front of the Supreme Court and said that it was “hilarious” to listen to the liberal justices, “who rarely allow the language of the Constitution to stand in the way of a preferred interpretation,” channeling the late Justice Antonin Scalia with how they read the Constitution. Turley said, “[T]hese justices really were grappling with over 100 years of precedent. The hilarious aspect of this, Laura, and I’m sure you felt the same way,…

If last year’s Republican megabill served as Congress’ gateway drug to party-line government funding, the GOP’s latest spending plan makes clear it was habit-forming. Nine months ago, Republicans used the budget reconciliation process to skirt a Democratic filibuster and enact more than $280 billion for the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. It shattered conventional wisdom on Capitol Hill that reconciliation’s special power couldn’t — and shouldn’t — be used to circumvent the across-the-aisle work Congress does each year to fund federal agencies. Now President Donald Trump has given congressional Republicans until June 1 to fund Immigration and Customs…

A community that lost over two dozen members to an invasion of unknown gunmen on Palm Sunday, the beginning of the holiest week of the year for Christians, experienced a resurgence of mob attacks on random locals on Wednesday following the lifting of a curfew, Nigerian government officials confirmed. The attacks, widely believed to be linked to the years of genocidal violence that Nigerian Christians have faced in the country’s Middle Belt region, targeted the Angwan Rukuba of Jos, the capital of Plateau state. Plateau has experienced some of the most gruesome attacks by jihadists, typically migrating from the majority-Muslim north,…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” MS NOW Political Analyst Claire McCaskill discussed the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court and said that the conservative justices are trying “to ignore both the plain language of the United States Constitution and the plain meaning of the United States Constitution” and therefore, they “are not conservative justices. These are liberal justices that are trying to legislate from the bench based on the stroke of a pen of one president.” McCaskill said, “I sat in the United States Senate, and interviewed potential justices for the Supreme Court and for…

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is asking Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Fairfax County sanctuary officials to honor a third ICE detainer lodged on an illegal alien accused of committing a murder in Fairfax County, Virginia. The three murders occurred within the northern Virginia county in a roughly one-month period. As reported by Breitbart News, ICE lodged the latest arrest detainer on 28-year-old Misael Lopez-Gomez, an illegal alien from Guatemala who authorities believe is responsible for the blunt force death of his 3-month-old daughter. ICE is requesting that Spanberger and other Virginia sanctuary politicians hand Lopez-Gomez over to ICE…

President Donald Trump warned Iran to “make a deal before it’s too late” after a U.S. strike destroyed one of the country’s largest bridges west of Tehran that officials say was used to transport drone and missile components to Iranian firing units targeting allied forces in the region, warning that “much more” would follow as pressure on the regime intensifies. Sharing video of the strike on Truth Social Thursday, Trump wrote, “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT…
