Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) may be seeking reelection as the governor of Pennsylvania next month, but he may be setting his eyes on higher ambitions by starting a federal political action committee. Shapiro’s establishment of the New Path PAC is the loudest indication yet that he is considering a run for the 2028 Democratic presidential […]
Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha criticized Kamala Harris’s expanded campaign tour, saying Democrats don’t want a “human Chernobyl.” “Will it help or hurt? I’m going to go with juror number two on that,” Concha said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends First Friday. Harris added several stops on her midterm campaign tour, including New Hampshire, […]
Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) and former Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat, exchanged jabs in the final televised debate between the top two Senate candidates in the 2026 cycle, with two weeks until the general election. The debate touched on topics from Iran and affordability to President Donald Trump and attacks on character. While neither landed […]
Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) has made scattered public appearances since her hairbreadth loss in the August Senate Democratic primary. In each one, Stevens has endorsed former rival Abdul el Sayed in his Nov. 3 race against Republican Mike Rogers for the Michigan seat held by retiring 12-year Sen. Gary Peters (D). Some of Stevens’s comments […]
Intensifying efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to end 67 years of communist rule in Cuba are drawing fierce criticism from many congressional Democrats. But not all. Since Fidel Castro seized power in the 1959 Cuban revolution, the country has been a preeminent cause célèbre for the global Left. In this view, the island nation […]
Watching the credits roll on Apple TV’s gonzo alternate-reality comedy Brothers, I looked hard for the name of Charlie Kaufman. Surely the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and other surrealist classics was involved in Apple’s unhinged send-up of family, politics, and the contemporary celebrity experience. After all, Kaufman’s screenwriting debut, […]
It would be a stretch to say that the release of a Ben Affleck movie ever qualified as an event. Even in the late 1990s and the early 2000s — the post-Good Will Hunting window during which he was most plausibly anointed for stardom — Affleck tended to be recklessly productive in a way that […]
Eva Marie Saint, who died on Oct. 6 at age 102, lived a life that seemed exceptional in the moment and would certainly be impossible today. First, the impossible part: Saint was, legitimately, one of the last movie stars to have played a meaningful part in the Golden Age and to have worked alongside some […]
President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, in part, because of his appeal among men, and he is once again leaning into the manosphere as he tries to help Republicans running in this year’s midterm cycle. Trump may not be on the ballot, but as the president travels around the country defending his record and […]
Debate about Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan’s role in the state’s fraud crisis, and whether she stood idly by and allowed fraud to fester for years, is haunting her Senate aspirations. It is a lingering question that her Republican opponent, Michele Tafoya, has dangled in front of voters in the lead-up to the midterm election. […]
