Senate Republicans are prepping a jam-packed — if somewhat optimistic — agenda for their final week before summer recess. Majority Leader John Thune wants to move stopgap funding through Dec. 11, bipartisan Russia sanctions legislation and a bloc of nominees — perhaps including attorney general pick Todd Blanche. He’s also under pressure from President Donald Trump, administration officials and many of his GOP colleagues to adopt a budget resolution — the first step in unlocking another party-line spending bill. Leaders are prioritizing the stopgap, though. Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) expects continuing resolution text to be unveiled later today, she…

Salinger, a California native, history professor and retired dean of undergraduate education at University of California, Irvine, moved from a house in pricey Pasadena, California, to Paris, France. While her monthly rent for a one-bedroom flat is a stiff $2,765, it’s in the trendy 11th Arrondissement and includes utilities and comes furnished. Now 80, Salinger extols the economic advantages of leaving the U.S. Among them: She no longer needs a car, and tickets to the Paris Opera are cheaper than a seat at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “I do love this city,” she says.

Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have killed “several” Americans during a bombing of Jordan overnight into Thursday and destroyed three fighter jets — a report the Jordanian government appeared to deny, as it reported only that it had intercepted missiles that ultimately caused no harm.

Iran has for months blocked the free transit of international commercial ships…

Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed participated in Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020 while arguing that the protests should not be subjected to the same public-health concerns used to justify restrictions on other mass gatherings. In a clip provided exclusively to Breitbart News from a 2020 interview with commentator Brian Tyler Cohen, El-Sayed defended the demonstrations and rejected the premise that the protests should be pitted against public-health concerns related to the coronavirus. “There is no fair pitting of the protests for Black lives against public health,” El-Sayed said. El-Sayed claimed that systemic racism causes 83,000 deaths in the…
