The article reports on a Washington gathering where Republican lawmakers, former Trump administration officials and religious leaders met to address a rise in antisemitic influence and discuss steps to protect Jewish communities and fight hateful propaganda. A coalition of Republican lawmakers, Trump administration officials and religious leaders convened in Washington this week to confront what they described as a growing antisemitic influence. The attendees framed the problem as urgent, saying it threatens religious liberty, public safety and the norms that keep communities secure. Organizers emphasized a mix of policy fixes, law enforcement support and moral leadership to push back. Speakers…

Donald Trump and the IRS reached a settlement over a $10 billion lawsuit that includes a controversial “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and language critics say creates apparent audit immunity, sparking sharp debate about fairness, precedent, and the role of the tax agency in political disputes. The settlement resolves a long-running, high-dollar legal fight and carries terms that many see as unusual for a tax dispute. It trades a sizable claim against one of the most public figures in modern politics for a package that mixes oversight promises, financial commitments, and what opponents call carve-outs. The deal’s contours have forced people across the…

Israel has released hundreds of activists who tried to breach its naval blockade of Gaza and is moving to deport them, the legal group working with the flotilla reports. Hundreds of people who attempted to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza were detained at sea and have now been released, with deportations underway according to a legal organization involved with the flotilla. The activists described their mission as a humanitarian effort to reach Gaza, while the legal group documented their detention and the subsequent processing. These events prompted a quick diplomatic and legal shuffle as nations and organizations absorbed the…

Ukraine is weighing a move that would have been taboo before the war: legalizing private military companies to capitalize on hard-earned battlefield experience, scale forces quickly, and add options for national defense while raising urgent questions about control and accountability. After years of intense combat, Ukraine faces a rare strategic choice about how to organize force beyond the regular army. Legalizing private military companies would let the country tap experienced fighters and technical specialists without expanding the formal military at the same pace. This idea reflects the brutal realities of modern war and the pressure to adapt fast. Proponents say…

Andalusia’s regional vote returned a conservative win but stripped the People’s Party of an outright majority in the 109-seat parliament, leaving Juanma Moreno three votes short of governing alone and putting Vox in the driver’s seat for coalition talks. The People’s Party emerged as the largest force with 53 seats once 99.8 percent of votes were counted, five fewer than before and below the 55 needed for a solo government. That result makes a PP-Vox partnership the only workable route to power in Andalusia and follows a string of similar regional outcomes this year. The PP has repeatedly won regional…

Rep. Mike Collins finished first but fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff in Georgia’s Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, setting up a decisive second round and fueling a high-stakes battle for the party’s Senate seat. Mike Collins led the GOP field on primary night, but not by enough to clinch the nomination outright. Missing the 50% threshold means Georgia law forces a runoff, and that changes the math for campaign plans and voter outreach. For Republicans, this runoff is where turnout and base enthusiasm will decide who stands for the party in November. The runoff flips…

The arrival of powerful, widely available artificial intelligence changes how we work, think, and organize society, and it forces a clear-eyed look at what human life will look like amid machines that can mimic many forms of thought and labor. The question at the heart of the AI debate is whether the human person can survive in a world dominated by mass artificial intelligence. That sentence sits at the center of a much bigger conversation about dignity, purpose, and the structures we rely on. It is both a philosophical point and a practical challenge as tools once limited to specialists…

Russian President Vladimir Putin is traveling to China to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping less than a week after U.S. President Trump wrapped up his own trip to Beijing. The timing is striking and will invite scrutiny from capitals around the world. This visit could reshape short-term diplomatic rhythms between Moscow, Beijing, and Washington. Putin’s trip comes on the heels of President Trump’s visit to Beijing, and that sequence matters in practical and symbolic ways. For Republicans, timing is everything: a strong U.S. approach can set the terms of engagement, but quick follow-on meetings between other powers can try to…

His résumé — retired US Navy SEAL, former Recon Marine, and chief talent officer for Overwatch Mission…

This article examines renewed concerns about government agencies repeating old patterns of political targeting, highlighting warnings from watchdogs and legal advocates. Republican circles are sounding alarms about a familiar set of tactics that once sparked a national scandal. The worry is not vague: observers see a repeatable pattern where oversight tools get stretched into political instruments, and that prospect has prompted calls for renewed vigilance. People who lived through the earlier controversy remember how destructive that dynamic was for public trust. Officials and advocates note that when enforcement and review powers get deployed selectively, the consequences go beyond any single…
