Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has set a tight deadline for the prosecution team in the contentious RICO case against Donald Trump and others. The judge has given the state’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council 14 days to appoint a new prosecutor to replace Fani Willis. If they fail to do so, McAfee says he will dismiss the case without prejudice. This recent order comes on the heels of a tumultuous history surrounding the prosecution of Trump. In August 2023, Willis indicted Trump along with 18 co-defendants for challenging the 2020 presidential election results. This bold move has been widely…

Nicholas Roske, who now identifies as “Sophie,” was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison for his attempted murder of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The sentence, issued by U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, falls far short of the 30 years sought by prosecutors. In June 2022, Roske traveled from California to Kavanaugh’s home armed with a Glock pistol, tactical knife, and zip ties, with plans to assassinate the justice in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Roske’s journey took a desperate turn when he called 911 on himself, stating he was…
The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision represents a significant shift in immigration policy, particularly concerning Venezuelan migrants. In a tightly contested 6-3 ruling, the Court granted the Trump administration authority to rescind the Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 600,000 Venezuelans. This ruling allows for the potential deportation of many individuals who had relied on these protections. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, representing the dissenting view, expressed deep concern over the ramifications of this decision. In her dissent, she criticized the Court for what she termed “gratuitous and harmful interference” with cases impacting vulnerable lives. Jackson’s words highlighted a sense…

The lawsuit was initiated in June 2024. The plaintiffs contended that the law lacked historical justification.…
Virginia’s political landscape is experiencing turmoil as Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones faces backlash over incendiary messages exchanged with fellow lawmaker Carrie Coyner. The texts, leaked to Fox News Digital, reveal a disturbing tone that exemplifies the growing culture of hostile political rhetoric. In these messages, Jones made violent remarks concerning the late Del. Joe Johnson and House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

A federal judge has sentenced Nicholas Roske, now known as Sophie, to eight years in prison after he attempted to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the lead-up to the Dobbs decision.

Prosecutor Coreen Mao asserted the need for a strong response to deter such acts of violence, underlining that “the ends never justify violent means.” During the hearing, Judge Deborah Boardman addressed Roske as a transgender woman.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is signaling a major standoff as the 2025 government shutdown approaches its second week. Johnson has canceled House activities for next week, instructing lawmakers to stay in their home districts until at least October 14. This move highlights Johnson’s strategy to pressure Senate Democrats, who have repeatedly dismissed the Republican proposal for a short-term funding solution in favor of healthcare demands that Republicans consider excessive. The House had initially planned to reconvene on October 7, but the last session took place on September 19. Johnson expresses a firm stance, stating, “We passed it, and it’s…

The law was quickly pushed through the state’s GOP-controlled legislature in just three days.

In a decisive move against drug trafficking, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and President Trump have announced a significant operation targeting a Venezuelan drug boat that resulted in the deaths of four terrorists associated with drug trafficking organizations. This latest strike adds to a series of military actions aimed at curtailing the influx of narcotics into the United States.

Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee from Virginia, is defending her latest campaign ad. Released last Friday, the ad directly challenges Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears’ stance on abortion.

In Harris’ book, titled “107 Days,” she recounts Sanders’ advice to concentrate on working-class issues rather than narrowly focusing on abortion. Sanders noted that his support for Biden stemmed from his focus on economic matters. Harris’ pivot did not yield success,…
Senate Democrats have once again blocked an effort by Republicans to reopen the government, as the shutdown stretches into its third day.

The latest vote, which ended 54-44, marked the fourth time Senate Republicans have attempted to pass a bill facilitating a government reopening. In a familiar pattern, the same three Democratic caucus members—Senators John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Angus King—aligned with the majority of Republicans in supporting the measure. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed frustration over the impasse, emphasizing…
Top Republican officials are displaying a noticeable divide in their messaging regarding the ongoing government shutdown. Senate Democrats remain steadfast in their demands for extending Obamacare subsidies as part of any short-term funding bill. As a result, the likelihood of the government remaining shut down stretches into next week. This situation has granted President Donald Trump and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) considerable power over federal agencies and workforce management. Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana has characterized the decisions facing Trump and OMB Director Russ Vought as challenging. The gravity of potential permanent layoffs for federal workers grows…
Confusion surrounding the recent approval of another abortion pill by the Food and Drug Administration has drawn sharp reactions from officials and commentators alike. Instead of directing criticism at Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, many point fingers at the Biden administration and the deeper implications of its policies.

FDA has just approved ANOTHER chemical abortion drug, when the evidence shows chemical abortion drugs are dangerous and even deadly for the mother. And of course…
The recent exchange between White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy highlighted the shifting narratives surrounding Project 2025 as the government shutdown unfolded. Doocy posed a pointed question about President Donald Trump’s apparent change in knowledge regarding the initiative. “During the campaign, President Trump said that he did not know anything about Project 2025. Now, he knows about it. Is that the blueprint for shrinking the government?” This inquiry put Leavitt on the spot as the administration grapples with its future direction. Project 2025, described as a comprehensive policy proposal developed by the Heritage Foundation,…
