Senator Bernie Sanders, the socialist from Vermont who with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is an agenda-setter on the activist left wing of the Democratic Party, is proposing that the U.S. government seize 50 percent ownership of large artificial intelligence companies. "I will soon be introducing the American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest A.I. companies in our country," Sanders announced in a New York Times opinion article published online. "It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time 50 percent tax — not on the profits

The United States Customs and Border Protection announced Monday the appointment of Rosario “Pete” Vasquez as the new Chief of U.S. Border Patrol.
The move comes after former Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks resigned last month to spend time with his family and return to his Texas ranch. Banks began serving in the post in January 2025.
The department said Vasquez has more than 26 years of experience with Border Patrol and has served in a range of operational and executive leadership assignments across the southwest border, northern border, international posts and CBP headquarters.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as chief of the United States Border Patrol,
Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills told voters Monday that she will still be on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race despite having suspended her campaign weeks earlier.
Mills suspended her campaign in April for financial reasons while still saying at the time that she had “the fight” to continue. On Monday, Mills posted on X, stating, “People have the impression that I withdrew or dropped out, but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else — the fight —

A Federal Court of Appeals ruled Monday in a 2-to-1 decision that the Trump administration’s military ban removing current transgender members of service is unconstitutional.
In a May 2025 ruling, the Supreme Court allowed the “Hegseth policy” prohibiting members of the military from openly identifying as transgender, when a lower court attempted to stop it. The Federal Court of Appeals ruling on Monday, however, denied the Hegseth policy from removing current members of the service affected by gender dysphoria, according to ABC News.
Judge Robert Wilkins, an Obama appointee, and Judge Judith Rogers, a Clinton appointee, ruled that current transgender service members cannot be removed.
The Trump administration is giving the American people what they want in the lead-up to the big 250th birthday celebration and is ignoring pride month — a once unruly, secular celebration beloved by the Biden administration and radical left.
Americans came to a breaking point during the Biden administration — specifically, in the summer of 2023, when the Biden administration went all in on “pride” month and Americans were horrified to see a topless transgender activist at the White House pride event, while corporate queering ran amok. The Biden administration made sure to let everyone know that it valued “pride” and did so every year,

America from Tijuana — and it was hidden
in plain sight 13 replies
Cops on both sides of the US-Mexico border are investigating a sprawling underground passage uncovered in the Tijuana area that is believed to extend toward the US.
The tunnel was found Saturday in the Nueva Tijuana neighborhood during a raid carried out by Mexican federal authorities with support from the Mexican Navy, according to Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office.
Investigators said the hidden passage stretches roughly 869 feet and sits about 21 feet below ground, making it one of the more substantial cross-border tunnel discoveries in recent years. The underground route was uncovered after authorities executed a search warrant at a property in eastern Tijuana.
Security members of a Charlotte hotel, some with extensive criminal records and documentation as gang members, sold narcotics and firearms to investigating law enforcement officers, the U.S. Department of Justice says in a federal complaint.
Five people face federal charges in drug trafficking and firearms violations following the probe by the FBI and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and 10 people total were arrested. A warrant has been issued for an 11th. The activity happened at the Garden Inn & Suites, commonly known as the Garden Inn, in the Sugar Creek corridor in northeastern Charlotte.
The hotel racked up, at a minimum, 57 arrests and 590 police calls in 29 months climaxing with
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, as proof of his "working class" bona fides, saying on his campaign website that he "serves the town of Sullivan as Harbormaster" and claiming during a February podcast interview that he's "been the harbormaster for the last two years." He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign—and it was largely a "clerical" one, according to local records and people familiar with the position.
Platner's predecessor as Sullivan harbormaster resigned in February 2022, the records show, and the town got by without one for more than a year.
Independent investigator Muckraker has blown the lid off a sophisticated, long-running Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) and charity fraud operation in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Dominican immigrants have been openly buying groceries with food stamps (EBT/SNAP cards) or taking free food from charities and food banks, loading it into shipping barrels, and sending it straight to the Dominican Republic — where it gets resold for profit in local bodegas. The pipeline runs from Massachusetts corner stores, through shipping hubs in New York, all the way to Santo Domingo.
President Donald Trump lashed out Saturday after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked the planned closure and renovation of the Kennedy Center, accusing the Obama-appointed judge of halting what Trump described as a badly needed structural and aesthetic overhaul of the performing arts venue. In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump said millions of dollars in marble, furniture, steel, heating, air conditioning, and other materials had been ordered or were about to be ordered for what he called a "magnificent structural and aesthetic rebuilding" of the center. He argued the building had serious problems involving rust, rot, pests, failing pipes, aging HVAC systems, and structural beams that needed replacement,
Republicans are running out of time to pass President Donald Trump’s agenda and tackle the affordability crisis as the midterm elections inch closer.
With the midterms looming, Republicans have struggled to pass several policy agendas, including funding immigration enforcement, addressing affordability and adding voter identification requirements. Republicans are on a time crunch to address the hot-button issues for voters, including the economy and immigration, before they cast their ballots in November.
The Senate has 53 days in session before November, while the House has about 40.
A second reconciliation package aimed at funding immigration enforcement will not reach Trump’s desk by his June 1 deadline, leaving Senate Republicans scrambling to pass the package

his hometown Chicago, sparks sharp, divided reactions 13 replies
Pope Leo XIV’s meeting last week with progressive Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson at the Vatican in Rome has drawn mixed reactions including one from President Trump.
Johnson said after the meeting Thursday that he and the pope discussed U.S. policies under Trump, specifically the Iran conflict and immigration enforcement.
Johnson sharply criticized Trump, calling him a "disgrace" and a "tyrant" for getting the U.S. involved in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
“Illegal wars do not leave just a trail of tears and trauma, but it also harms and brutalize our humanity,” Johnson said in a press briefing after the meeting. “The economic drive with which (Trump)

Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” former first lady Jill Biden said she believed her husband, former President Joe Biden, would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Biden said, “I mean, Joe had to decide whether to run again. But like you said, you know, we did well, the Democrats did well in the midterms, and in 2023, the Democratic Party was totally behind Joe, and people, everywhere I went, ‘Joe’s got to do it again. He’s got to run. He’s got to run. And he was like, ‘Well, I don’t know’ – you know – ‘Am I too old?’ I mean, it was the age question
Former New York Times reporter Paul Krugman, who worked for the outlet for more than two decades, is clearly grasping for relevance in his retirement and he's doing so by calling for violence against Trump supporters. The guy who once said the Internet's impact on the economy would be no different than the fax machine thinks the country needs a 'thorough purging' and he's targeting MAGA as the group that needs to go. [Tweet, video] "We need to de-fang Trump as much as possible and make sure that neither he nor anybody who follows in his footsteps has power after the next two elections," Krugman said.

Kirkwood, Missouri, is an appealing suburb about 15 miles from St. Louis City. The city was founded in 1853 and is the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi.
Many families flock to the area for its suburban school system and safe environment.
But for those parents who thought their kids were getting a well-rounded education in Kirkwood, they may want to think again. Recently, the woke president of the Kirkwood School Board, Judy Moticka, took to Facebook and called for the assassination of President Trump.
Judy is a school board leader but wants President Trump killed and is not ashamed to admit her views on her Facebook account!
Iranian Endgames?
15 replies
The Trump administration has bent over backward to negotiate an end to Iran’s grand plans to develop nuclear weapons—before the June 2025 bombing, afterward, and again during the follow-up diplomacy of spring 2026.
Yet Iran is unlikely ever to abandon its pursuit of the bomb voluntarily. With nuclear weapons, Tehran hopes to become the de facto hegemon of the Middle East. Only then could it effectively coerce or deter both Israel and the wealthy Arab Gulf states. And that is the charitable view, one that excludes the possibility of a messianic Shiite theocracy believing that eliminating the “one-bomb” state of Israel would forever ensure the Shiite minority permanent preeminence
Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley is out of the famed news program.
Pelley, who spent over 30 years at CBS News, has been fired from the company after a clash with new "60 Minutes" top producer Nick Bilton, Business Insider has confirmed.
"Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear," Bilton wrote in a memo to Pelley that was seen by Business Insider. "I therefore write on behalf of CBS News, Inc. to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately."
Kind of a one-two punch out of ExxonMobil's senior vice president, Neil Chapman, today.
On one hand, a not-so-surprising announcement tying up the loose ends of Exxon's corporate existence. The company, which has long been legally homeported in increasingly business-unfriendly New Jersey, would move that as well, thanks to stockholders giving executives the thumbs-up.
...Chapman delivered his message on the same day that Exxon shareholders approved a plan to move the company's legal home from New Jersey to Texas.
Citing Texas' strong regulatory environment, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods said the state was a better fit for the company in a statement.
The Gateway Pundit reported that an anti-ICE rioter, identified as Brendan John Geier, was arrested and charged last week after kicking and biting ICE agents during protests, leaving the agent with horrific bite wounds.
In gruesome photos of agents’ injuries, gashes and teeth marks are seen on the agents’ skin. (Snip) The Justice Department has confirmed to The New York Post that Geier, of Madison, New Jersey, was previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography in Pennsylvania.
Delaney Hall, the ICE center in New Jersey, has been the latest target of the anti-ICE Democratic Party and their Leftist foot soldiers. Federal agents have been blocking Democrats from entering the facility, amid claims that illegal aliens are holding a hunger strike to protest the conditions at the facility. Violent riots have taken place, too, with Leftist goons attacking ICE agents and threatening to kill their families.
New Jersey Republican Jeff Van Drew went to Delaney Hall to see what was going on. And, unsurprisingly, it's not at all how Democrats are claiming.

Californians go to the polls Tuesday to vote in primary elections that are expected to narrow the wide-open fields for November's General Elections in both the Los Angeles mayoral race and state gubernatorial contest – already the most expensive governor's race in U.S. history, with over $315 million spent so far.
Polling shows neither race having a clear leader, with Republican candidates in the liberal-leaning state among the front-runners in both.
In the governor's race, the campaign of billionaire Democratic candidate Tom Steyer has poured in over $200 million in ad spending, the most money of any candidate this election cycle in the country

There must be something about the month of May for the radical "protesters" at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, because May 2026 has been a lot like May 2025 in terms of the wild scenes that have unfolded there over the past two weeks.
RedState has extensively covered the clashes that the anti-ICE demonstrators have instigated with immigration enforcement agents, with one situation involving a violent agitator who allegedly kicked and bit two agents. New Jersey resident Brendan John Geier, 26, has been arrested in that case.
Another disturbing incident involved an agitator caught on tape threatening to kill an ICE agent and their family. The suspect, 27-year-old Brooklynite
Henry Nowak: The Bodycam Footage
10 replies
Bill has written here and here about Henry Nowak, the 18 year old Briton who was stabbed to death by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh. The perpetrator, having stabbed Nowak, collaborated with family members to put out the story that Nowak was a “racist,” while his mother hid the murder weapon. This is the call that Digwa’s brother made to report the crime. The suggestion that the victim was a “racist” was all that London Southampton police needed to hear: Police officers arrived on scene. Henry Nowak, dying from stab wounds, could not respond coherently to their questions, although he did say that he couldn’t breathe.
Less than two weeks after a man was killed after opening fire on Secret Service agents mere steps from the White House – and just over a month since unhinged leftist Cole Tomas Allen was charged with trying to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner – an Obama-appointed judge has ordered that an "86 47" protest be allowed to continue near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss issued a two-week restraining order against the National Park Service (NPS), which was sued after attempting to revoke the permit of Accountability Now, the leftist, anti-Trump group
