“Everyone wants to fight fraud, right? Right?” asks investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer. Perhaps not. The California legislature wants to criminalize citizen journalists who try to expose massive fraud in the state’s “migrant services” programs. AB 2064, dubbed by its critics the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” would classify asking questions at migrant service centers in the state as harassment and expose the journalist to a $10,000 fine and possibly a year in jail. Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers explore how politicians from California to Minnesota are not trying to fight fraud — but instead go after journalists who do.…

As West Jerusalem moves past another Independence Day, the promise of lasting security looks increasingly uncertain Born out of the need for safety, Israel today finds itself navigating a reality defined by recurring conflict and persistent insecurity.

President Trump warned the United Kingdom against trying to “make an easy buck” on American big tech firms with the digital services tax which nets Westminster almost a billion pounds a year. The UK could be subjected to new tariffs if it doesn’t stop taxing American tech giants, U.S. President Donald Trump warned in Oval Office remarks late Thursday. President Trump said: “they better be careful. If they don’t drop the tax, we’ll probably put a big tariff on the UK.” Keeping the tax on U.S. tech giants wouldn’t be worthwhile, Trump said, because “What we’ll do is we’ll reciprocate by…

A federal judge in Boston issued a preliminary injunction halting enforcement of several federal policies affecting wind and solar energy development, siding with industry groups that argued the measures unlawfully delayed projects across the country. Chief U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration could not enforce a series of permitting requirements and related policies that renewable energy advocates said had stalled or canceled projects nationwide. Casper concluded that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in their claims that agencies including the Department of the Interior adopted unlawful procedures that created bottlenecks in the approval process.…

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live,” former Trump Economic Adviser Stephen Moore responded to the prospect of a government purchase of Spirit Airlines by saying that “it’s not always the most profitable industry. And so, I think it’s probably not a great idea for taxpayers to put up this money to purchase Spirit Airlines. And, by the way, do we really want the government running an airline? It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.” Moore said, “I am not in favor of the federal government taking ownership of this airline. I think it’s always a bad…
