Maine’s Democrat Governor Janet Mills, 78, is reminding voters in her state that they can still vote for her over Democrat challenger Graham Platner in her state’s senate race as she will remain on the ballot despite suspending active campaigning. Mills formally suspended her senatorial campaign in April, attributing it to a lack of money to compete against Platner, an oysterman who has had controversy after controversy. Both Democrats are hoping to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). “While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else — the fight — to continue on,…

American passport holders, green card holders, and service members inbound from the Ebola outbreak region were required to “undergo enhanced public health screening” and were required to enter the U.S. at…

Insufferable NeverTrumper John Bolton has worked out a plea deal and will plead guilty to a single count of “illegal retention of sensitive national security documents,” reports far-left CNN. Bolton was originally charged with “eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.” A conviction on any of those counts would’ve meant serious jail time. On this one count, although the penalty is up to five years in prison, the deal apparently comes with Bolton agreeing to plead guilty and pay a fine of $2.25 million without jail time.

On June 3, 2026, a Lynchburg Circuit Court judge rejected Attorney General Jay Jones’ (D) request to remove an injunction that prevented universal background checks from being enforced. The initial injunction was issued in the fall of 2025. Ammoland noted that the injunction “prevented the Virginia State Police from enforcing the [checks], determining that [they] violated Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia State Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms.” However, upon taking over the Virginia legislature in January, Democrats pushed through legislation to attempt resumption of the checks and, on May 27, 2026, the Virginia State…

But the complaint could allow other women, whether their cases are time-barred or not, to join the proceedings, Otis’ lawyer, Mathias Darmon, said in a statement to The Associated Press. The complaint, seen…

The far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reimbursed Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members for cross-burnings, federal officials said on Tuesday. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a superseding indictment that the SPLC used their donors’ money “to fund the leaders and organizations of racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, and the National Alliance.” “The SPLC’s paid informants (‘field sources’) engaged in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website,” the DOJ said in Tuesday’s superseding indictment.
