Within minutes of Netflix announcing that it would not try to match the $31 per share Paramount offer, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) was out with an invite to Paramount CEO David Ellison: Testify before an already planned Senate hearing next week.
An aide to Booker, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, noted that Ellison had offered to appear were it to acquire WBD.
“In light of today’s announcement that Warner Bros. Discovery has designated Paramount’s offer a Company Superior Proposal, next week’s hearing presents a timely and appropriate opportunity for Mr. Ellison to make good on that commitment,” Booker’s aide said.
Netflix dropped its bid to buy Warner Bros. after the studio announced Paramount's latest bid to buy the entire company was "superior."
"The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval. However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid," Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said in a statement.
"Warner Bros. is a world-class organization, and we want to thank David Zaslav, Gunnar Wiedenfels, Bruce Campbell,
An extraordinary fight between AI company Anthropic and the Pentagon is coming to a head over the Department of Defense’s plans to use the company’s models for domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.
The Pentagon has already taken steps to blacklist Anthropic and its industry-leading AI model Claude as punishment for the firm’s refusal to give in to the administration’s demands. Simultaneously, the Trump administration has threatened to invoke the Defense Production Act to compel Anthropic to allow the military to deploy Claude as it sees fit.

Schools Roll Out Special Ramadan Perks

We are nearly one week into Ramadan – the month-long commemoration of the time when Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad – and it sounds like Muslim public school students in Virginia are enjoying some serious Ramadan perks that don't seem to be offered to students of other religions when they celebrate their holiest days. One X account that tracks the political goings-on in the Charlottesville area discovered that local students who observe Ramadan are able to partake of special prayer rooms and can grab to-go meals before they depart school at the end of the day. The local CBS affiliate had glowingly reported
A St. Paul woman has filed a federal civil lawsuit against eight anti-ICE activists, alleging they conspired to storm Cities Church during a Sunday service, frighten congregants, block access points, and intentionally disrupt religious worship.
Ann Doucette, who filed the complaint on her own behalf in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota on Feb. 23, claims the defendants carried out a coordinated operation on Jan. 18 at Cities Church because they believed one of the pastors works for ICE.
Democrats and their media allies are fired up over a “bombshell” NPR report seemingly implicating President Donald Trump, but the problem is that the report is, as usual, bupkis.
Published earlier this week, the NPR report breathlessly claims that when the Department of Justice (DOJ) released the Epstein files, they withheld a few pages containing “allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor.”
“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release,” the report reads. “These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews,
Colorado Democrats have filed a bill that could make it the first state to decriminalize prostitution, and critics warn that the bill would make the Centennial State the “Wild West” for purchasing sex and lead to an increase in human trafficking.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is now facing his lowest approval ratings since he first set foot in the upper chamber over a quarter century ago.
The lead Senate Democrat’s job approval is deep underwater among Empire State residents, with just under three in four holding a “poor” or “fair” view of him — his worst mark since he took office in 1999, according to a Marist poll released Thursday.

Up to a century in prison was on the table after a federal indictment was returned for an Oklahoma man accused of threatening the president and attempting to murder federal officers.
Last month, the culmination of an investigation into comments posted on YouTube led to a standoff between 30-year-old Taylor Prigmore and the FBI. Last week, a federal grand jury returned the indictment charging him with both his alleged attempt on the lives of federal law enforcement agents and for threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in addition to being called out for threatening President Donald Trump.

Jake Tapper tried his best to get Ron Johnson and Sean Duffy to disparage President Trump, but the Republicans weren’t taking the bait.
The CNN host cited a fiery Truth Social post that Trump unleashed after his epic SOTU address, where he slammed “Squad” reps Ilham Omar and Rashida Talib for acting like ‘lunatics’ while he was speaking Tuesday night.
“[T]hey had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized,” Trump vented. “[W]e should send them back from where they came — as fast as possible.”
“Rashida Tlaib is an American citizen, born in this country,” Tapper told Johnson.
On February 25, 2026, a striking and controversial moment unfolded at Old Trafford, the legendary home stadium of Manchester United in England.
For the first time in over a century, the Adhan, or Islamic call to prayer, was broadcast through the stadium’s speakers.
This occurred during a special Ramadan Iftar event, the meal that breaks the daily fast during the Muslim holy month. The gathering was organized by the Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club (MUMSC), an officially recognized fan group, in partnership with the club itself.
Old Trafford, known as the “Theatre of Dreams” thanks to Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, is England’s largest club soccer stadium.
Mortgage rates fell below 6 percent on Thursday for the first time in more than three years, marking an opening for homebuyers as inflation cools.
Currently, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is averaging 5.98 percent, down .03 points from last week, according to Freddie Mac.
Last year, the rate averaged 6.76 percent.
“This lower rate environment is not only improving affordability for prospective homebuyers, it’s also strengthening the financial position of homeowners,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, told NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.

Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) is introducing the Dalilah Law, named after 6-year-old Dalilah Coleman, to ban states from issuing Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens.
On Wednesday, Banks introduced the bill with the backing of President Donald Trump who honored Dalilah at his State of the Union address this week.
As Breitbart News reported, in June 2024, an Indian illegal alien truck driver crashed his semi-truck into the vehicle that then-5-year-old Dalilah was in. Dalilah suffered life-altering injuries like traumatic brain injury and Cerebral Palsy.
A GoFundMe has been raising money for Dalilah’s recovery treatment and has amassed nearly $150,000 donations thus far.
Democrat Congresswoman: Trump Asking Lawmakers

to Stand for Americans over Illegals Was ‘Racist’ replies
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) says President Donald Trump’s asking lawmakers to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens was “thinly veiled racist language.”
During Trump’s first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term, he asked members of Congress to “stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
In response, all Republicans present stood for the statement, while no Democrats present stood up. Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.
The Secret Service has removed a gun from the home of a Michigan man who said he wanted to “shoot” President Trump.
On Tuesday night, during a Warren City Council meeting, retired professor Wesley Arnold stated, “I ordered a high-powered ATL 36X arriving shortly, which I hope to actually use to shoot the president of the United States. I’m not kidding.”
He added, “This is a very high, powerful item. It’s great for a headshot at a distance. I didn’t want it to be delivered by drone because I wouldn’t want something like that to be in the wrong hands.”
The Democrats showed their true colors at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union when they failed the president’s test of allegiance to this country.
They are so devoted to illegal migration that they walked straight into his trap. President Trump asked every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believe their primary duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal migrants.
That should have be a no-brainer.
It is the essence of putting America first.
But the Democrats refused to stand.
President Trump named Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern (CPC)” in October 2025 because of the persecution of Christians, which is rampant in the West African country, and the regularly occurring extremist violence.

Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds.
Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.

The ballroom dancing won’t commence just yet at the White House, but President Trump is celebrating a decision by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon that denied an attempt by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to stop construction of the president's $400 million proposed addition.
Leon did write, however, that the matter could very well be revisited:
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the National Trust for Historic Preservation is unlikely to prevail on its request for a temporary halt to President Donald Trump’s construction plan. He said the group may have a stronger case if it amends its lawsuit.
It's an issue that seems to have no end. Illegal immigrants driving 80,000-pound, fully loaded 18-wheelers across the nation, who barely speak English and cannot read road signs. Dozens of Americans have been injured or killed on America's highways because of these illegal immigrants who entered the country because of Joe Biden's open border. It's one thing to read about these tragedies that never should have taken place. It is quite another when you see it happening. In this case, it is nothing short of a miracle that there was not another fatality.
It truly is something to behold, the way President Donald Trump plays these Democrats like a cat swats around a mouse. The only difference in that dynamic is that the mouse can’t help itself; it doesn’t know it’s being played. Democrats…well, maybe they are only as smart as a mouse. It’s tough to know. The only things that can be known are just how pathetic Democrats are, and Donald Trump lives rent-free in their head, their dreams and in every breath they take.

The biggest rock star in America today is Donald Trump, especially after his epic greatest hits set at the State of the Union; the only thing missing was the GOP singing along to his version of “Freebird” and holding up lighters. But there are some rockers trying to make a comeback as they tour the county fair circuit while opening for the political equivalent of a puppet show. Your dad is going to be excited to hear that U2 and Bruce Springsteen have returned with brand-new songs about… wait for it… what was happening in Minneapolis. Sounds promising!
Democrats are scrambling to do damage control after refusing to stand when President Trump asked lawmakers to affirm that their duty is to the American people over illegal immigrants.

Surveillance video captured the dramatic moment a sinkhole opened up on a busy intersection in south-central Omaha, Nebraska, swallowing up two vehicles.

The driver of the truck was able to get out of the sinkhole on his own, then joined other bystanders who helped the SUV driver out of the hole, police said.
A federal judge on Wednesday struck down the Trump administration for deporting illegal immigrants to countries other than their own.
The ruling came as the result of a class-action lawsuit brought by noncitizens challenging deportations to “third countries” without notice or a chance to challenge the proceedings.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston ruled against the policy, arguing that the government does not have the authority to send illegal immigrants to unfamiliar nations and must follow established federal law. The judge paused his ruling for 15 days to give the White House a chance to appeal.
A conservative group, American Sovereignty, is launching a nationwide, seven-figure ad campaign designed to capitalize on the State of the Union moment by attacking Democrats over immigration policy. The 30-second spot highlights Democrats’ refusal to stand during president Trump’s address and ties it to his call that the government’s first duty is to protect american citizens, not illegal aliens. The campaign aims to run throughout 2026, with emphasis on battleground states Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia to defend vulnerable GOP incumbents and pursue potential pickups in both the house and Senate. The ad’s messaging—“Democrats are for illegal immigrant criminals. Republicans are for you”—is supported by a video of Trump’s remarks.

Another Joe Biden FBI Scandal

The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting.
It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024.
That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful,
One of President Trump's key priorities for his second term was rebuilding and re-arming our military, including making sure we have the best, most modern aircraft in the world. That may well be happening now, and in record time. The United States Air Force's first 6th-generation fighter, the F-47, is reportedly on track for a 2028 test flight. That's remarkably fast for a concept-to-cockpit development these days.

The Democrats’ attempt to imprison Donald Trump, their number one political opponent over the last decade, is unprecedented in American history and is more redolent of a banana republic than the American political tradition.

Democrats maintained the pretense that these bogus prosecutions were independent of the Biden administration, but we now know that wasn’t true. The effort to end Trump’s political career through farcical criminal charges was orchestrated from the top.

As we’ve documented recently at NewsBusters, CBS’s flagship newscasts have shown little wholesale changes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss that we both initially saw and as had been reported. Instead, it’s been more of the same liberal drivel. But ironically, there have been a few moments at NBC where it’s come across as this was the network she actually leads and such was the case on Wednesday’s Today in reacting to President Trump’s State of the Union address. While NBC was far from perfect, they were devoid of the negative descriptors and bellyaching we usually see elsewhere at ABC and, as we’ll see in a future post, CBS.
Donald Trump has had, without question, a first fourteenish months in office that is hard to top in any other administration of my lifetime in accomplishments. And to be fair, it would also be correct to say that no president has stirred up more angst and controversy among his detractors than any other administration in a similar time period.

Policies? Did Donald Trump discuss policies last night, or just expose Democrats as radicals?
The correct answer is ... yes. Trump can do a lot in two hours, especially when his political opponents keep slipping on all of the banana peels he drops. Trump spent more than twenty minutes of the speech detailing his economic agenda and proposing new efforts to reduce prices and provide growth. That came just before Trump set his trap on immigration, and before Democrats stumbled into another on crime.
CNN polled viewers who watched the marathon event, and found that Trump made solid gains on the policy front:
