Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to endorse Jack Schlossberg in the race for New York’s 12th Congressional District. Pelosi, who is expected to make the endorsement official on Sunday, told The New York Times that this is “a consequential moment for the country — faith in our politics is fractured and trust in government is tenuous.” She stated, “This moment calls for leaders who understand the stakes and how to deliver for the people they serve,” and described Schlossberg’s candidacy as one that “will help Democrats win nationwide.” Pelosi’s endorsement of Schlossberg continues a personal and political history…

To conflate citizenship and nationality, erasing history and geography, is not just naive but leads to the erosion of a nation As globalization is fading and a multipolar world emerging, the question of identity is essential for people not to get lost. Between the abstract multicultural ideal and homogeneity aspirations, Russia presents itself as a unique ‘middle way’.Certainly, international law distinguishes between the concepts of nationality and citizenship. But these are legal subtleties that don’t concern random individuals, who have many other things to think about and who often, particularly in the West, have the tendency to believe that the…

A new bill proposed by Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) will add stronger protections to elite Border Patrol Tactical Groups deployed to enhance security at public events or assist with law enforcement responses to mass shootings or other mass casualty terror events. The Homeland Threat Response Act Gonzales proposes comes as hundreds of U.S. Department of Homeland Security personnel deploy in advance of Sunday’s Super Bowl. The Homeland Threat Response Act proposes to add language to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wake of the September 11 attacks. In the act, language…

In December, Governor JB Pritzker (D) signed a bill legalizing assisted suicide in Illinois. At the signing, Pritzker emphasized that the act would give terminally ill patients the autonomy to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering. Five days later, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) vowed to make assisted suicide legal in her state, saying such a move would allow New Yorkers “to suffer less–to shorten not their lives, but their deaths.” Once Hochul signs New York’s “Medical Aid in Dying Act” into law this year, New York will become the thirteenth state, following Illinois, to legalize assisted death. Proponents of assisted suicide…

Tokyo and Moscow have never reached a formal settlement at the end of World War II The lack of a peace treaty to this day between Tokyo and Moscow to end World War II is “really vexing and regrettable,” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has said, reiterating her intent to resolve territorial issues with Russia.Japan and Russia never signed a peace treaty after the war, remaining locked for decades in a territorial dispute over the four southernmost islands of the Kuril archipelago.The islands were incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1945, and Russia regards them as an integral part of…

The Milanese daily reported that in response to the exclusion of biologically male transgender…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday as U.S.–Iran negotiations advance under mounting tension, with Tehran resisting demands to curb its ballistic missiles, proxy forces, and nuclear program following talks in Oman that Trump said were “very good.” The Prime Minister’s Office announced the meeting Saturday night, saying Netanyahu believes any negotiations with Iran “must include limitations on ballistic missiles and a halting of the support for the Iranian axis.” The visit was moved up at Netanyahu’s request and comes a day after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump…

Thursday, February 5, 2026. This is the day the Russian-American Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) expired. While this symbolically closes a 50-year chapter of nuclear arms control, in practice the era of meaningful Russian-American negotiations in this sphere ended long ago.The reasons are both objective and political. Global geopolitics has undergone tectonic change. Nuclear multipolarity is now a fact. Advanced conventional weapons can achieve strategic effects once associated only with nuclear arms. New domains of confrontation have opened in cyberspace, outer space, and even biotechnology. Old numerical limits on warheads and delivery systems have become detached from military reality.The decisive…

Cinema United, formerly the National Association of Theater Owners, has warned of a coming collapse if the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger deal finalizes. The organization shared in a statement to the Senate antitrust subcommittee that the deal will lead to the shuttering of movie theaters and further job losses. “If Netflix succeeds in acquiring Warner Bros., the results will be economically and culturally catastrophic: fewer theatres, shorter windows, less revenue, fewer jobs across the national and global entertainment industry, and fewer movies for consumers to see in theatres,” said the six-page statement shared to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition…
