The indictment comes two months after federal agents raided Bolton’s home and Washington, D.C., office to find evidence for the case.

Rep. John James (R-Mich.) now holds the best position of any GOP candidate to potentially flip the governorship in Michigan from blue to red in the 2026 election, according to new polling data. If James actually wins next year, the state’s political landscape would shift seismically, providing further evidence that the country as a whole is shifting away from Democrat policies. It's a win that would bode well for other GOP and MAGA candidates running for other offices at various levels of government as well.
The Plymouth Union Public (PUP) Research survey shows James leading the general election field and crushing a crowded crop of candidates in the primary.
Until now, the conventional wisdom on the midterm elections has been cautionary -- for Republicans. The party holding the White House generally loses ground anyway. The dramatic shifts in policy under Donald Trump would likely make voters skittish, analysts warned, and a lackluster economic environment provided even more reason for pessimism. And for a while, polls showed a grim picture for the GOP in next year's contests.
Well, hold the phone. Polls have shifted over the last six months, CNN forecaster Harry Enten warns -- or more to the point, the polls haven't shifted at all. Democrats haven't picked up any new support during Trump's presidency, falling off the pace
The four-star Navy admiral in command of all U.S. military forces in South and Central America, including the Caribbean Sea, will retire later this year after less than a year on the job.
Adm. Alvin Holsey, a Navy pilot who led U.S. Southern Command in the early stages of the burgeoning targets against the region's drug cartels directed at Venezuela, "plans to retire at year's end," according to an X post by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth praised Holsey's "37 years of distinguished service," which also included a tour as U.S. Southern Command's deputy commander. He took over "SOUTHCOM" in November 2024.
President Donald Trump said that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy phone call on Thursday to meet in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss how to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Trump also said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other ‘High Level Advisors’ will meet next week with their Russian counterparts to lay the groundwork for his summit with Putin. Trump did not say when he expects to meet with Putin. Trump detailed his call with Putin in a Truth Social post.

The Trump administration quietly authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela, granting the agency lethal authority as part of an escalating campaign to oust President Nicolás Maduro.
The move marks a sharp escalation in the administration’s campaign to oust Maduro, whom it has labeled a “narcoterrorist.” It follows weeks of U.S. military strikes on boats off Venezuela’s coast allegedly involved in drug trafficking, which have killed 27 people. Officials say the ultimate goal is regime change.
Newsweek reached out to the White House and the CIA for comment on Wednesday afternoon.
Caracas: At least two American B-52 aircraft have been reported flying over the Caribbean region for some time and heading toward Venezuela, amid US tensions with the country.
The two aircraft briefly disappeared from air tracking sites, then reappeared as they continued flying south, as per Flightradar24.
Multiple reports have surfaced on X claiming that B-52 aircraft are moving toward Venezuela, raising speculation over whether the US is planning another strike.
This comes after Donald Trump, on Tuesday, announced that the United States struck a small boat, accusing it of carrying drugs in waters off Venezuela, killing six people.
A new survey of published polling data by Eric Kaufmann, a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom and an adjunct fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute, shows a nearly 50% drop in the number of college students who identify as transgender. Kaufmann believes the data shows the gender identity trend is going "out of fashion."
The surveys include polls from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) poll, which samples more than 50,000 students each year, and the Higher Education Research Institute’s (HERI) annual freshman survey.
ou have to hand it to President Donald Trump.
Joe Biden, the person who occupied the Oval Office before Trump, seemed barely coherent most of the time. He was constantly ducking the media and needed note cards to deal with even the simplest questions. Even then, it would always be uncertain whether he could answer, even though the media was largely favorable to him.
In contrast, Trump and his team have to put up with a constantly hostile media, yet they're always answering questions and being transparent, even when they aren't treated fairly.

President Donald Trump claimed that a “wealthy” donor offered to pay the salaries of U.S. service members if the United States government ran out of money available to pay the troops during the ongoing government shutdown.
While taking questions from reporters during a meeting at the White House with Argentinian President Javier Milei, Trump was asked if the administration had “the money to pay the troops.” Trump noted that he told the donor that his administration wouldn’t “need it” and that they would “take care of our troops.”
“You have the money to pay the troops on October 15?” a reporter asked.
NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, , more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time,

NEW YORK — Two more members of a Young Republican group chat strewn with racist epithets and hateful jokes stepped down from their jobs Tuesday after POLITICO published an exclusive report on the Telegram exchanges.
Peter Giunta’s time working with New York Assemblymember Mike Reilly “has ended,” the Republican lawmaker said. Giunta served as chair of the New York State Young Republicans when the chat took place. Joseph Maligno, who previously identified himself as the general counsel for that group, is no longer an employee of the New York State Unified Court System, a courts spokesperson confirmed.

It’s one thing to understand that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was DEI nomination to the Supreme Court, and another thing entirely to listen to her own words as she proves it.

In the swiftly degenerating world of western relationships one factor above all others can be identified as the culprit: Feminism. The driving force behind third-wave feminism is not the pursuit of equal rights it's the pursuit of power. Like any communist movement, unilateral power over society is the end goal. When power is the goal, such movements naturally attract narcissistic people. How can the nuclear family function when the female half of the equation is conditioned to become self serving, ego-maniacal, conflict oriented, status obsessed, victim obsessed and desperate for control? One particular trend has feminists enraged is "nose ring theory"
Pentagon reporters turned in their badges after they refused to sign Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s new security rule.
“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that reporters agree by 5 p.m. Tuesday to a new policy, under which they would need to pledge to not obtain or use any unauthorized material, even if the information is unclassified — or hand over their press badges in the next 24 hours,” The Hill reported on Tuesday.
By Wednesday afternoon, Pentagon reporters turned in their badges.CNN’s Brian Stelter hyperventilated over the development.
“Reporters have been showing up at the Pentagon today and handing in their press passes,” Brian Stelter said.
“This is an extraordinary moment,” he said.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is meeting in London to vote on new rules to cut “greenhouse gases” by imposing a first-ever global tax on shipping emissions.
The meeting of the U.N. agency ends Friday and is expected to finalize a “Net-Zero Framework (NZF)” where commercial ships would pay for emissions over a set limit as defined by the IMO, while vessels that meet tougher standards could trade or bank so-called “surplus units.”
The Trump administration unequivocally rejects the proposal and has threatened to retaliate if nations support it, setting the stage for a fight over the climate deal.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire, took home $1.4 million in winnings after playing blackjack at a casino in Las Vegas last year, according to a copy of his new tax filing.
Pritzker, who is seeking a third term in office and is on the 2028 short list, reported the earnings in his latest tax filing after he played the card game while on a vacation with his wife and some friends, a Pritzker spokesperson said Thursday.
The governor will be donating the money to charity, according to his campaign.

Handled Things Better,’ Regrets Mistreating
Reporter, Staffer 24 replies
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), the potential frontrunner for California governor, now regrets mistreating a reporter and a staffer, admitting she “could have handled things better.”
Last week, Politico obtained a video of Porter cursing at a staffer while taping a meeting with the Biden administration.
“Get out of my f****** shot!” Porter yelled at the staffer in the video.
When the staffer issued her correction regarding a policy detail, Porter responded, “Okay. You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot.”
The unearthed footage came just days after a video went viral that showed Porter threatening to exit an interview with a California CBS News affiliate.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi lashed out at a reporter who asked why the former House speaker “refused the National Guard” on Jan. 6, 2021, as she was being assisted out of the Capitol on Wednesday.
Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was clutching the arm of an aide as she gingerly navigated the steps of the Capitol, quickly spun around, pointed her finger at the LindellTV reporter’s face and appeared enraged at the suggestion that a new Republican-led committee investigating the riot might find her “liable.”
“Shut up!” Pelosi, 85, barked.
“I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn’t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points
Sixty percent of young liberals say it is “acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest in response to immigration raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),” according to a survey by Cygnal. 42 percent of liberals said it was acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest even if that meant breaking the law,” said a press statement from Virginia-based Cygnal, which added: “The number jumps to 60 percent of liberals under the age of 30. Liberals are shockingly okay with breaking the law to go against government action they don’t agree with, like ICE raids,” said Cygnal President and pollster, Brent Buchanan. He continued:
With the arrests and federal indictments of two California men announced on Thursday, we're now getting an idea of how California's billions of dollars to "end homelessness" vanished without a trace. Instead of helping to solve the problem of rampant tent encampments filled with addicts on the beaches and streets in California, things got worse. Where did all that money go? An audit in 2024 revealed that no one knew how the homeless money was spent. I wrote about this in "No Wonder Gavin Newsom Didn't Want an Audit to Track $24 Billion in Homeless Spending."

Yes, we trash can.
President Barack Obama’s austere new presidential library is getting roasted with comparisons to the Death Star, garbage bins and other domineering monoliths in a hilarious social media thread sparked by Sen. Ted Cruz.
“Locating the Death Star in Chicago was a bold move,” Cruz (R-TX) wrote on X Tuesday while reposting a video of the latest work on Obama’s Chicago presidential center.The facility, a slab of concrete and granite rising 225 feet above Chicago’s Jackson Park, has faced ridicule from critics since its design was first unveiled nearly 10 years ago — and the the peanut gallery poured on more jokes after Cruz’s post.
Earlier today, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi unloaded on Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg today on the steps of the US Capitol after she was confronted on her deadly actions on January 6, 2021.
Lindell TV reporter Alison Steinberg asked Pelosi why she refused to call in the National Guard on January 6th and Pelosi started screaming – “SHUT UP!”
Alison Steinberg: “Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that? Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Jew-hater who has repeatedly demonstrated over the last decade his hatred for Israel; his support for Hamas; and even his support for a “global intifada,” which, by extension, includes the destruction of the United States as we know it. And yet, according to recent polls, 43% of New York Jews are supporting him, including 67% of Jewish voters between the ages of 18 and 44.
This is analogous to black voters voting for former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke (who ran for president in 1992). How is it even possible for these Jewish New Yorkers to be supporting
