New York City | Housing Policy | Mayor Transition With just days remaining before Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is sworn in at midnight on New Year’s Day , outgoing New York City Mayor Eric Adams  is making a final, highly consequential move that could shape housing policy well into the next administration. In the closing stretch of his term, Adams has moved to fill two vacancies on the New York City Rent Guidelines Board (RGB)  — a quiet but powerful action that may limit Mamda

The five-minute video imagines Donald Trump stepping in to save Christmas after Santa Claus falls ill—delivered in the familiar cadence of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” a poem deeply rooted in American holiday tradition.

GDP Surges, Inflation Falls — and the Economy Heads Into the New Year With Momentum

After opening in approximately 3,118 theaters nationwide, David generated an estimated $22 million in domestic box office revenue over its full Friday–Sunday opening weekend, placing it among the strongest openings ever for an independently distributed Christian film.

The Red Wall Kirk outlined is not a collection of safe states. It is a defensive and offensive firewall — states that must be held, re-earned, and constantly worked every cycle.

President Donald Trump has committed more than $8 billion  to a major new phase of southern border construction, advancing what U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials describe as a “Smart Wall” —an integrated border security system combining physical barriers with advanced surveillance technology. In the latest round of awards, the Trump administration approved five new construction contracts totaling $3.3 billion , funding 97 miles of primary border barrier , 19

The experts predicted economic chaos. The data now shows Trump’s tariff strategy wasn’t the disaster Americans were promised. For years, Wall Street economists and much of the national media warned that tariffs imposed during the Trump administration would cripple the U.S. economy and permanently drive inflation higher. Those claims became a central talking point in debates over trade, monetary policy, and interest rates. The latest inflation data tells a different story. New

In June of 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision that fundamentally altered how states regulate the right to carry a firearm for self-defense. The case was New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen , and while it did not dominate cable news for weeks on end, its impact has been deep, lasting, and still very much unfolding. Three years later, the effects of Bruen  are no longer abstract. They can be seen in permit numbers, court dockets, state legisl

The Indiana State Senate has rejected a proposed mid-decade congressional redistricting plan, delivering a significant setback to President Donald Trump’s national effort to reshape U.S. House maps ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — and setting off a political reckoning within the Indiana Republican Party. Despite holding a commanding supermajority in the chamber, Senate Republicans fractured over the proposal, exposing deep internal divisions over strategy, timing, and po

In a sweeping rebuke to federal authority, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer  ordered the Trump administration to end its federalization and deployment of the California National Guard in Los Angeles. The decision returns California’s Guard to the control of Governor Gavin Newsom and reaffirms the constitutional guardrails that have guided the nation through some of its hardest moments. Breyer—appointed by President Bill Clinton  in 1997 —has built a reputation over nearl

Indiana’s political world is on edge today as the State Senate opens formal debate on House Bill 1032 , a sweeping Republican redistricting plan that would eliminate Indiana’s two Democratic-held congressional districts and reshape the state into a 9–0 GOP map  ahead of the 2026 midterms. After clearing the House last week, the bill now faces its most difficult hurdle — a State Senate that remains publicly cautious and internally divided. The next several days will determine

Each October, as tradition holds, the Supreme Court of the United States convenes to begin a new term. This year’s session — running from October through late June , with rulings occasionally trickling into early July — is one of the most consequential dockets the Court has assembled in recent years. The justices have already accepted several nationally significant cases touching immigration, gun rights, presidential trade powers, gender policy in sports, agency authority, an

Rep. Darrell Issa  has ended the speculation: he’s not going anywhere. Despite a newly drawn district that’s shifted more Democratic under California’s Prop 50 map, Issa confirmed he will run for re-election in the state’s 48th Congressional District  in 2026. For several days, political circles buzzed with talk that Issa was considering a move to Texas to run for a Texas U.S. House seat —a possibility fueled by ongoing redistricting efforts in Texas and tighter numbers at ho

Minnesota has always prided itself on clean governance and steady leadership. But the past year has cracked that image wide open. A string of fraud scandals inside the state’s social-services network — coupled with a full-scale federal investigation — has forced Minnesotans to confront a hard truth: while the political establishment was assuring the public that everything was fine, some of the largest welfare and food-aid fraud schemes in state history were thriving right und

Bill Gates Downplays Climate Doom, Says Wealthy Nations Like the U.S. Are Far Better Positioned Than the Developing World Across America’s bluest states, a notable shift is underway. Governors who once championed some of the most aggressive environmental mandates in the country are quietly recalibrating their approach — not because their values changed, but because their constituents can no longer shoulder the cost. Residents in states like California and New York are confron
