Politcal commentator Gretchen Carlson said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that the Supreme Court ruling that a single judge cannot block a presidential order means “we may now have a king.” Carlson said, “The first thing that came to mind today, to me, was that we may now have a king. This is so different from how the separation of powers have worked in this nation for decades and decades. So look, big picture, yes, huge win for Trump. But something I want to bring up tonight is that I believe this will change the way that politics works in America,…

In Japan, there are hundreds of unique Kit Kat flavors you can’t find anywhere else in the world.NurPhoto via Getty Images I don’t care what month of the year it is, you’re not going to find a snow shovel to buy at the Ace Hardware store in Miami, where temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees. However, if you go to Montana or Maine, where snowfall is measured in feet rather than inches, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find one nearly year-round. The point is that while most Ace Hardware stores have a similar look and feel, the management and…
Former Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) said Friday on CNN’s “OutFront” that in the 2026 midterm elections, Democrats will run on restoring birthright Citizenship. Rose said, “We’ve always relied on not just a set of laws, but also a set of norms. So here’s to hoping that a future Democratic president, and there will be one one day would act in a more—in a manner more respectful of the Constitution and our shared values. But let’s put the Supreme Court ruling aside, because it’s been a fully-owned subsidiary of MAGA for quite some time now.” He added, “Let’s just look at…
“You cannot disinvent” Tehran’s technical and industrial capabilities, Rafael Grossi has said Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent US and Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear facilities, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi has stated.In an interview with CBS News released on Sunday, Grossi said the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, inflicted “a very serious level of damage,” but some of the assets are “still standing.”“The capacities they [Iran] have are there. They can have, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and…
Chuck Schumer The top Democrat in the Senate, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), tried to force the clerks on the Senate floor to read the ‘big, beautiful bill’ in its entirety, all 950 pages of it, in an effort to inflict as much pain as possible on Senate Republicans, a move that could take up to 15 hours. Schumer’s delay tactic is a far cry from how radical leftist Democrats usually approach bills. In 2010, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously chided those who questioned the ability to read the massive Affordable Care Act before voting on it, “We…
Rarely can a three-hour podcast hold my attention. But Chris Williamson’s conversation with Naval Ravikant did, in part because of the mic-dropping moment nestled near the end: “The currency of life isn’t money. It’s not even time. It’s attention.” AngelList Co-Founder and CEO Naval Ravikant getty I’m not sure there is a modern wisdom saying that better encapsulates the battle we all face in the frenetic information age in which we find ourselves. Why “Currency of Life” Isn’t Money or Time “Money is important,” Naval explains, “and let’s you trade certain things for time, but it doesn’t really buy you…
(AFP) — At least 500 protesters marched through Venice on Saturday, condemning Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s wedding to journalist Lauren Sanchez, a lavish affair that has drawn backlash in the historic Italian city. “Bezos, out of the lagoon”, the demonstrators chanted as they wound through the city centre, some brandishing signs that read: “Eat the rich”, “Rejected”, and accusations that Venice’s mayor is “corrupt”. The peaceful protest, held in sweltering heat, was led by the “No place for Bezos” group, which has campaigned for days against what it calls the couple’s harmful economic and environmental footprint on the city. “We…
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) praised President Donald Trump and the U.S. military Thursday during a press conference following a classified briefing on Iran, declaring the joint U.S. Israeli mission a historic blow to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions while slamming media and Democrat efforts to downplay the operation’s success. “I want to commend President Trump and his national security team and our brave and skilled pilots and their crews for a brilliantly executed mission,” Cotton said. “We have struck a major blow alongside our friends in Israel against Iran’s nuclear program, one that is going to make America safer, our friends in…
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” host Jim Sciutto stated that “you can imagine” schools “taking books off the shelves of their libraries” in the wake of the Supreme Court allowing parents to opt their children out of certain books. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that “if you have a religious free exercise right to opt out of a compulsory exercise, for example, what the Supreme Court said in West Virginia v. Barnette, it applies not just to an exercise of religious conscience, but of conscience generally. If there are Jehovah’s Witness kids who don’t want to participate in…
