A budding health crisis appears to be fomenting in the Spanish autonomous territory of Ceuta amid reports of groups of illegal migrants creating unsanitary conditions on the city’s beaches and even schools, which are claimed to be littered with garbage and “excrement”. In the wake of upwards of 72,000 illegals flooding across the border from Morocco last month, health officials are warning that the Spanish exclave with a population of just 87,000 is not equipped to handle the needs of the thousands of migrants who have remained in the area. Speaking on the Espejo Público news programme on Spanish broadcaster Antena 3, University Hospital…

House Democrats are ramping up their scrutiny of Paramount Skydance’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery — and previewing their plans to crack down on the merger if they win the majority next year. In a new letter Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland — the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee — invited Paramount CEO David Ellison to appear for a transcribed interview “to tell Congress and America your story and answer the Committee’s questions about your Donald Trump-enabled shopping spree to consolidate news organizations, movie studios, cable channels and streaming services.” As a member of the minority…

Rep. John Larson’s loss in Connecticut is a potential warning sign to other Democratic incumbents seeking to fend off challengers over the next month of primaries in New England. The most endangered: Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee. The highly unpopular governor has trailed rival Helena Foulkes, a longtime CVS executive whose grandfather and uncle were both senators from Connecticut, by as much as 20 points in polls in a bitter rematch of their 2022 primary. Their race does not break cleanly along ideological or generational lines and could boil down to gripes about the partially closed Washington Bridge. McKee is…

The Founding Fathers wanted to create a system of government where power comes from the people. 250 years later, we are still experiencing a power struggle that does not resemble what the framers originally intended. One major factor in this struggle is the United States Senate. The Declaration of Independence, one of the most important documents in American history, emphasizes the rights of the American people to abolish any government that does not serve them: “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,…

Iran’s representative at a meeting of the anti-American BRICS coalition on Wednesday used the opportunity to demand that member countries invest more of their time, money, and energy into “practical initiatives” to help Iran, a call that follows months of minimal support from the bloc during the ongoing war with America. BRICS — named after core countries Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — is an economic, security, and diplomatic coalition largely led by communist China that seeks to overthrow the current, Western-led global order. It presents itself as a vehicle to aid the development and prosperity of the…

President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down prices of prescription drugs have been a resounding success. “Starting next year, American drug prices will come down fast and furious and will soon be among the lowest in the developed world,” President Trump promised in December. Prescription drug prices fell 0.8 percent in July, a steep monthly decline, the government’s consumer price index showed Wednesday. This continued a pattern seen through most of this year. Prices have fallen in five of the last seven months and have not increased at all this year. Compared to one year ago, prescription drug prices are…

Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), was arrested on Monday on charges related to sexual exploitation of a child. The charges against Boebert were reportedly related to a “2024 video Tyler Boebert allegedly recorded with a 17-year-old, according to an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant,” per NBC News: The girl’s mother later alerted authorities that a video showing her daughter and Tyler Boebert having sex was posted on Instagram, the affidavit says. The affidavit does not say who is alleged to have posted the video. He was 18 at the time and 11 months older than…

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is officially throwing its support behind Sen. Darline Graham ahead of the primary runoff — and it wants other South Carolina Republicans to follow. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, NRSC officials called the primary’s top finishers who didn’t make the runoff in South Carolina’s snap Senate primary — Rep. Russell Fry (R-S.C.), former Gov. Mark Sanford and businessman Mark Lynch — and urged them to endorse Sen. Darline Graham, according to two people with knowledge of the outreach, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. On Wednesday morning, NRSC Chair Tim Scott — South Carolina’s…
