And it was so wild to see John Kennedy and everyone else basically be like, no, no, it’s Trump. Trump is blocking the deal. Trump doesn’t want the deal. He wants no deals. He wants it all to burn unless he gets a the SAVE Act. Is that where…
Donald Trump has a big speaking engagement Wednesday night — and there’s no telling whether he’ll help or hurt the GOP’s Capitol Hill agenda. The president is slated to address House Republicans at the NRCC’s annual dinner — the day after Democrats flipped a Florida statehouse seat that includes his home at Mar-a-Lago. The last time Trump addressed the GOP conference, earlier this month in Florida, he sparked a slew of headaches for his party by insisting on passage of a partisan elections bill that has little chance of becoming law. This time could be no different. Trump has so…

For 15 years the FBI was engaged in a landmark investigation into the largest Islamic-based charity in the United States, called The Holy Land Foundation. The organization was operating as a front for Muslim terror groups, funneling cash from western countries to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, until they were finally put on trial in 2008. Convicted leaders were known as the “Holy Land Five,” and included Shukri Abu Baker, Ghassan Elashi, Mufid Abdulqader, Abdulrahman Odeh, and Mohammad El-Mezain. Among the documents seized from these individuals during the investigation was a strategic paper drafted by senior Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed…

The White House scored a big win on Wednesday when a second appeals court barred lower judges from releasing illegal migrants after they are arrested by the Department of Homeland Security. “MASSIVE COURT VICTORY against activist judges and for President Trump’s law and order agenda!” Attorney General Pam Bondi declared onX, adding: The Eighth Circuit has held that illegal aliens can be detained without [a bond hearing] — following a similar ruling from the Fifth Circuit last month. The law is very clear, but Democrats and activist judges haven’t wanted to enforce it … Imagine how many illegal alien crimes…
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) claimed President Donald Trump entered into a “war of whimsy” and “delusion” in Iran. Host Chris Hayes said, “I remember you. I think it was a few weeks ago coming out of, a classified briefing, if I’m not mistaken, in your role as, on the Armed Services Committee saying you were worried about that. Well, here’s the headlines we have. We have 3000 soldiers named, mobilized, plus 5000 Marines were already underway on ships. Is that the way you see this going right now?” Blumenthal said, “Unfortunately, Chris, my deep fear…
Florida has been viewed for months as the potential capstone of a GOP redistricting campaign, but now Sunshine State Republicans are growing wary after the dramatic flip of two legislative seats in the state — including one where President Donald Trump votes.

Ron DeSantis — believe they could pick up as many as five more seats with a rare mid-decade redraw of district lines. Some Florida incumbents are now warning in stark terms it could backfire. “I think…

The justices ruled unanimously that Cox bears no liability for the copyright violations of its customers, reversing a jury verdict and lower-court rulings. “Cox neither induced its users’ infringement nor provided a service tailored to infringement,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the court in an opinion that acknowledged that the record labels “have struggled to protect their copyrights in the age of online music sharing.” The company, in a statement, praised…
