President Donald Trump has nominated Adam Candeub, currently serving as general counsel at the FCC, to a senior position at the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. Bloomberg reports that President Donald Trump has nominated Adam Candeub to serve as assistant attorney general at the DOJ, the White House announced. According to White House official Saurabh Sharma, Candeub will lead antitrust enforcement at the department. The nomination will require confirmation by the Senate, a process that could take several months to complete. The DOJ currently lacks a Senate-confirmed antitrust chief.

President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that the United States is “not finished at all” with Iran, warning U.S. forces would strike the regime’s heavily fortified Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site “pretty soon” while signaling his administration was prepared to expand military operations rather than return to negotiations. Trump made the remarks while meeting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House after being asked about a Wall Street Journal report that Israeli intelligence believes Iran moved thousands of advanced centrifuges into the underground Pickaxe Mountain facility near Natanz last fall. “I think that they may have,” Trump said when asked about…

Maine Democrat Troy Jackson has raised $1 million in the less than two weeks since he entered the race for Senate shortly after Graham Platner dropped out, his campaign told POLITICO on Wednesday morning. Jackson, the presumptive Democratic nominee, raised $613,000 of that haul since Sunday following the selection of the 601 delegates who will determine Platner’s replacement this weekend. More than 90 percent of those delegates have pledged to back Jackson. The fundraising number is a strong showing for Jackson, who only raised a bit over $1 million in his entire run for governor earlier this year. But he…

Catholics believe that human life is a gift from God rather than a possession to be disposed of at will. Just as they refuse to participate in abortion, the nuns oppose a law that would force them to participate in assisted suicide.

The case, Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm v. James, was filed in…

The Hungarian government on Monday announced an investigation into a major investment deal with Chinese auto giant BYD, on suspicion that former Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto might have had a conflict of interest. Szijjarto left his seat in the Hungarian Parliament to take a job with BYD last week, three years after negotiating the first of two major investment deals with BYD. Szijjarto was Hungary’s top diplomat for about 12 years under former prime minister Viktor Orban and the two were close political allies. Orban assiduously courted investment from China and Szijjarto was his point man in the effort, becoming…

A non-English-speaking Ukrainian migrant truck driver convicted of killing two Americans in a deadly crash had been given humanitarian parole to live in the United States by former President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Breitbart News has learned.

The Wikimedia Foundation that owns Wikipedia this month released three promotional videos in its “A Wiki Minute” series, which provide one-minute elaborations on topics related to the site. One video bluntly rejects political bias claims and asserts Wikipedia presents neutral and reliable information, despite numerous controversies, particularly regarding its left-wing bias. Another video supports the site being used by students for schoolwork, while the last defends its reliability over AI, which often relies on Wikipedia as a source of training data. Videos in the “Wiki Minute” series in previous years have vigorously argued in defense of Wikipedia’s reliability and emphasized…

On Tuesday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), a regular critic of President Donald Trump, claimed the Trump administration did not know what it was doing in Iran. Van Hollen said, “I went into that hearing very worried about the future course of this war and our country and I came out even more worried because it’s very clear the secretary of defense and the Trump administration have no idea what they’re doing. And this is a very dangerous moment for the country because they’ve never decided what their true objective is. It changes by the…
