MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said Monday on “Deadline” that American voters were “not smart enough” to keep President Donald Trump away from the presidency. McCaskill said, “There’s a huge swath of Americans that don’t know about that because their algorithms are purposely not feeding them politics because they don’t want to hear about it. But you know what they’re all going to know about? They’re all going to know about higher prices. They’re all going to know that they’re spending more at Walmart than they spent this time last year. They’re all going to know that their 401Ks are down.…
Republican leaders are increasingly confident they will be able to notch a final deal with key GOP megabill holdouts and move toward a final vote in the coming days after several whirlwind hours of closely held negotiations. The upbeat turn in the frequently tumultuous talks was described by six senior Republicans who are participating in them. It came after President Donald Trump visited Capitol Hill Tuesday morning to personally urge the warring factions to drop their demands and come to an agreement on the sprawling domestic-policy bill centered on a multi-trillion-dollar suite of tax cuts. Some of those holdouts emerged…
Expats are cutting up their documents in protest after nationalist candidate George Simion lost to Nicusor Dan Dozens of Romanians have posted videos of themselves cutting up their passports in protest against the outcome of the country’s latest presidential election. The controversial vote, suspended last year by the country’s constitutional court, saw the pro-EU mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, defeat his Euroskeptic rival, George Simion, with 54% of second round votes. On TikTok and other platforms, Romanians living abroad began sharing clips in which they can be seen destroying their passports. “This is my vote for Romania. My vote is worth nothing. We…

Addressing several board members during a dinner in the White House’s State Dining Room, Grenell stated that a review of the center’s budgets from the past two years had uncovered what he described as “$26 million in phantom revenue—fake revenue.” “It’s criminal,” Grenell said. “We’re going to refer this to the U.S. attorney’s office here.” SHOCKING! Ric Grenell just revealed the new CFO of The Kennedy Center went through the 2024 & 2025 budgets and found $26 MILLION in…
Financial risk assessment getty The Trump Administration has announced its desire to impose price controls on drugs – officially called a most favored nation (MFN) policy. Essentially, the policy sets the price for the targeted drugs at the lowest price in other industrialized countries. The president’s justification for the MFN is simple: Americans are getting ripped off because drug prices are cheaper in other industrialized countries. This justification misreads the problems plaguing the U.S. healthcare system. Three flaws drive up list prices for innovative medicines relative to other industrialized countries (OECD, or Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). First, the…
English activist Tommy Robinson will be released from prison within the next week after his 18-month sentence for contempt of court was reduced at a High Court hearing on Tuesday. Robinson, one of the most prominent campaigners against Muslim child rape grooming gangs in the country, was jailed last October after refusing to abide by a court order barring him from repeating claims about a Syrian teen, who successfully sued him for libel. While Robinson had initially refused to take down social media posts with the allegations against the Syrian refugee, his lawyers informed the court that he now plans…
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told reporters Tuesday outside his country’s embassy in Washington, DC, that the goal of his visit to the U.S. is “a really good trade deal” with President Donald Trump. However, South Africa has offered none of the compromises Trump has sought. Worse, South Africa is already in violation of its existing trade deal with the U.S., the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). AGOA extends preferential trade conditions to dozens of nations in sub-Saharan Africa to help them achieve faster economic growth. However, it requires beneficiaries to refrain from harming U.S. national interests. The text explicitly…
Protestors considering disrupting Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Tuesday Senate testimony might find themselves behind bars of they do so, Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) told Breitbart News exclusively. Rubio is testifying before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee regarding the State Department’s FY26 budget request to Congress, and a large turnout and protester presence will accompany him. But Chairman Risch, who notoriously is not a fan of committee disruption, will not tolerate any disturbances in his hearings. Under D.C. code, the chairman of the committee is authorized to remove protestors from the hearing room, but Risch will go one step further and have…
House Republicans on Tuesday passed legislation to rescind a Biden-era policy meant to more closely scrutinize proposed bank mergers, sending the regulatory rollback to President Donald Trump’s desk. The House voted 220-207 to nullify a new rule finalized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency last September that created a tougher regulatory process for banks seeking to merge. The GOP repeal measure cleared the Senate earlier this month on a 52-47 vote, which was also divided along party lines. The legislation, which now awaits Trump’s signature, is poised to have little immediate practical impact because the Trump administration…

Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Betrayal of Brexit has angered populists and conservatives, and a Reform UK MP told the Premier to his face that his Labour MPs will ‘lose their seats to Reform at the next election’ because of that.
