Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) top Senate recruits across multiple 2026 battlegrounds are being outraised by primary challengers running explicitly against the Democratic establishment. The pattern, playing out in states such as Maine, Michigan, and Iowa, underscores the growing influence of grassroots donors and a willingness among Democratic voters to look beyond candidates backed […]
Michigan’s 7th Congressional District and its similar Lansing-based predecessors have long been political microcosms of a premier swing state. In recent decades, two of its Democratic occupants have won Senate seats after representing districts that roughly mirrored Michigan’s relatively diverse demographics: former Sen. Debbie Stabenow and her successor, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). A longtime Republican […]
Does President Donald Trump have a God complex? His post depicting himself as the Lord Jesus Christ definitely raises some red flags. But if you’ve been paying attention, the bold-face blasphemy was not surprising. Trump did the unthinkable this week in that he got internet atheists, of all people, to defend Christ. Dozens of posts […]
The United Nations General Assembly, led by Ghana, recently passed a resolution by a 123-3 vote declaring that the “transatlantic” slave trade was the “gravest crime” ever committed against humanity.

When it comes to foundational movie genres, we are told that the Western is dead and the romantic comedy is on life support, but the horror movie is alive, well, and, er, presumably bleeding. The modern entrants in this genre may not be good or even well-made, but enough of them still become hits to […]
Peacock’s new sci-fi series The Miniature Wife is an arch-feminist revision of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989), with exactly that film’s gravitas and moral sophistication. But wait! Is it possible that this derivative goofball dramedy is actually fun? Through its charmless first episode, the answer is a hard “no.” The series stars Matthew Macfadyen […]
EXCLUSIVE — One of former President Joe Biden’s top tech advisors used a little-known law to hire staff that ultimately pushed for policies supported by Anthropic, a major artificial intelligence firm.

The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it had settled a federal investigation over claims of antisemitic harassment in a Massachusetts school district.
