Kathy Hochul moves to expand state gun restrictions following the Trump administration's sweeping rollback of numerous Biden-era federal firearm regulations.

In a stunning display of the Democrat Party's ongoing war on women and its desperate scramble to salvage a floundering Senate bid in Maine, the far-left activist group Progressive Victory has dropped a bombshell: potential replacement candidate Troy Jackson allegedly struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her during a heated disagreement years ago. This revelation comes as the current Democratic nominee, Graham Platner—an oyster farmer and Marine veteran pushed h

While Americans across the nation celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with fireworks, flags, and patriotic fervor, New York City under Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivered a jaw-dropping display of tone-deafness: an MTA subway train on the F line brazenly wrapped in the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The viral images show the train car emblazoned with the regime’s green-white-red tricolor and emblem, rolling through the city on the very weeken

California Governor Gavin Newsom's appointment of Haaris M. Syed to the Los Angeles County Superior Court has reignited a debate that extends far beyond one judicial nomination.

The WNBA's decision to suspend Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas for one game has ignited another fierce debate—but the bigger question is why officials failed to protect Caitlin Clark when the incident happened on the court.

Only after a league review was the play upgraded to a Flagrant 2,

As America battles an unprecedented border crisis, a New York congressional candidate backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani is drawing national attention for a position many voters may find difficult to comprehend: the belief that "all deportations are wrong" — even for illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes.
