President Trump finally attended the White House Correspondents Dinner and naturally, shots rang out. The line landed like a provocation and the room responded with a mixture of laughter, sputtered discomfort, and tight applause. For conservatives, it was a reminder that Trump knows how to own a stage and make the narrative his own. When he stepped into the event, Trump leaned into the role most expect of him: direct, unapologetic, and eager to push…

Former Dolton mayor Tiffany Henyard told Georgia election officials she established residency in Fulton County on May 1, 2025, three days before she formally left her Illinois office, a timeline that clashes with Illinois residency rules and with payroll records showing she was paid by Illinois governments during that overlap. Tiffany Henyard told the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections she became a legal Georgia resident on May 1, 2025, even though she remained mayor of Dolton until May 4, 2025. That admission came during a special hearing where commissioners pressed her on the apparent conflict between her dates…

President Trump’s approval greenlights a Canada-to-U.S. oil pipeline project, moving a major cross-border energy link forward while drawing comparisons to past pipeline debates. President Donald Trump granted a key approval Thursday for a major new oil pipeline from Canada into the U.S. that’s been dubbed “Keystone Light” over its similarities to a contentious earlier project. The decision clears an important regulatory hurdle and signals a federal preference for energy infrastructure that boosts supply and supports commerce. Supporters see this as a straightforward step toward reliable energy and more jobs. Critics will push back, but the administration chose to prioritize energy…

On April 25 a 61-year-old Costco employee, Randolph E. Corrigan, was shot and killed outside the Strongsville, Ohio store after he told a shopper he could not enter while carrying a weapon described by witnesses as having “a drum magazine protruding from one of his pockets.” The suspect, 22-year-old Christian M. Bryant of…

A Trump administration task force report alleges the Biden administration has engaged in patterns that single out traditional Christians, pointing to hundreds of documented cases as the basis for its findings. The report, assembled under the Trump administration’s direction, lays out a series of complaints and incidents that the authors say amount to targeted pressure on traditional Christian institutions and leaders. It claims hundreds of cases where religious Americans faced investigations, enforcement actions, or administrative scrutiny. Those numbers form the backbone of the task force’s argument that this is more than isolated friction. Task force members framed the issue as…

This article lays out the argument the government made about judicial review of Temporary Protected Status and the broader implications for how the executive branch handles immigration designations. SG Sauer argued that the law governing TPS bars courts from reviewing a president’s decision to designate or terminate TPS status for groups of foreign nationals. That line from the brief captures the core claim the government pressed: the statute itself limits judicial second-guessing. The government framed the issue as a matter of legal text and separation of powers rather than a policy judgment about migration flows. The argument rests on a…

Vice President JD Vance canceled a planned Turning Point USA appearance with Erika Kirk at Iowa State, citing scheduling conflicts, while the widow of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk will appear alone amid heightened concerns about political violence and public safety. The vice president’s sudden withdrawal from the Iowa State event left Erika Kirk to take the stage by herself, following a pattern that began weeks earlier in Georgia when she bowed out at the last minute. TPUSA’s official line was terse: scheduling conflicts, not security concerns. That explanation has not satisfied everyone, and the optics are sharp given recent violence…

The decision removes a heavyweight from what had been shaping up as a messy primary and hands the Democrats a cleaner nominee with time to consolidate. For Republicans, the change is both a relief and a call to sharpen strategy for…

A key inflation measure jumped in March as gas prices soared, and that spike — driven in part by the conflict with Iran — is pushing up everyday costs and keeping the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates anytime soon. Inflation in March showed a clear uptick, and the immediate cause was a sharp rise in gasoline prices that hit consumers at the pump. When fuel costs jump, they ripple through groceries, transport, and household budgets, forcing families to rework monthly spending. For millions already watching their wallets, this kind of price movement is noticeable and painful. The broader picture…

Brazil’s Senate voted down President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s pick for the Supreme Court on Wednesday, an outcome that interrupted a long pattern of confirmations and left a high court seat open amid heated political debate. The Senate’s decision stunned Brasília and set off intense discussion about the balance of power between the executive and judiciary. Lawmakers who opposed the nomination argued the choice raised questions about judicial independence and whether the court would remain a neutral referee in Brazil’s fraught political battles. Opponents painted the nomination as part of a broader effort by the president to reshape institutions…
