WASHINGTON (AP) — Wisconsin’s spring election on Tuesday for state Supreme Court, state schools chief and a proposed constitutional amendment requiring photo ID for voting will be the first major indication of the state’s political climate since Republican Donald Trump recaptured the White House in November.Trump edged Democrat Kamala Harris in Wisconsin by just 0.86 percentage points, the tightest margin of any state. That narrow win, as well as a highly competitive 2023 state Supreme Court contest, could foreshadow the possible paths to victory for this year’s statewide campaigns.In the state Supreme Court race, Dane County Judge Susan Crawford and…

The US president’s Greenland aspirations are “escalating tensions,” Troels Lund Poulsen has said US President Donald Trump’s repeated promises to annex Greenland are not appropriate for a close ally and overall are “escalating tensions,” Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen has said.“I think we’ll go as far as we have to go. We need Greenland, and the world needs us to have Greenland, including Denmark,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday.“We have to have the land because it’s not possible to properly defend a large section of this Earth – not just the US – without it.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a decisive blow to the left’s relentless lawfare on Friday. The court granted an emergency stay, suspending a lower court’s absurd preliminary injunction that sought to hamstring Elon Musk, the United States DOGE Service, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from carrying out their mission to streamline a bloated and inefficient government—starting with the outdated United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The original ruling, handed down by a Maryland district court on March 18 by Judge Theodore Chuang, was a textbook case of judicial overreach, cheered on by 26 anonymous USAID…

That all changed after the COVID-19 pandemic when you could finally park your cash in a high-yield savings account and earn a decent interest rate. Rather than being the exception, this was the experience of savers prior to the Great Recession. Whether or not the era of (relatively) high rates is over depends on how well the economy performs and how the Federal Reserve responds. Historical Savings Account Interest Rates A quick note on data: The FDIC posts monthly national deposit…

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has entered week two of his apology tour, after caving and backing the Republican spending bill to fund the government until September, telling CBS’s left-wing late-night host Stephen Colbert even though he caved once, it won’t happen again because “we are going after Trump in every way.” Schumer caved two weeks ago and announced he would vote for cloture on the Republicans’ bill to fund the government, after repeatedly stating that he wouldn’t. His surrender resulted in him facing calls from left-wing Hollywood celebrities to step down and his leadership being called into question from ranking Democrats in Congress.…

Alternative for Germany leader Alice Weidel has accused the supposedly conservative Christian Democrats of abandoning their promises of clamping down on migration following the election. Ahead of last month’s federal elections in Germany, Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz attempted to shed the party’s association with open borders under ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel and cast himself as an immigration hardliner who would finally stem the tide of the mass influx of foreigners into the country over the past decade. However, having boxed himself into working with the pro-mass migration, election-losing Social Democrats (SPD) after ruling out a coalition with the…
