Home prices have taken a notable dip over the past year, closely linked to the removal of millions of illegal immigrants by the Trump administration. According to the White House, there’s a clear correlation: “In 14 of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal migrant populations, home list prices declined year-over-year in December.” This trend indicates that areas most affected by mass deportations, such as those in Texas, Arizona, and California, are experiencing significant drops in housing costs. Austin, Texas, recorded the largest decline at 7.3 percent. San Diego followed with a decrease of 6.7 percent, while Phoenix…

Minneapolis and St. Paul officials have taken a significant step in their opposition to federal immigration enforcement. Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, along with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration. Their goal is to halt the deployment of over 2,000 federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) who have been active in the Twin Cities.

New Jersey police have made an arrest following a shocking incident involving a school bus filled with Jewish children. A rock, as large as a baseball, was hurled through a window of the bus, injuring an 8-year-old girl who suffered a fractured skull.

The Senate has taken a significant step in addressing the impending government shutdown by advancing a $174 billion funding package. The broad bipartisan support, reflected in the 81-14 vote, signals that lawmakers from both sides recognize the importance of avoiding another shutdown so soon after one of the longest closures in U.S. history. The House had already passed this minibus package, and the momentum appears to carry over into the Senate.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries made strong statements against Kristi Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, during a press conference that stirred significant political discourse. Jeffries didn’t hold back, declaring Noem “completely and totally unqualified.” His displeasure didn’t stop there; he accused her of being a disgrace and called for her to be “run out of town as soon as possible.” The backdrop of Jeffries’ remarks is the recent violence involving an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

A rise in tension unfolded outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis on Monday as an incident involving ICE agents drew protesters into the streets. The atmosphere turned chaotic when a far-left protester threw a water bottle at federal agents. This act of aggression exemplifies the emboldened attitude among some demonstrators, particularly as law enforcement prepares for increased operations in the area. Ahead of the ICE operation, officials installed concrete barriers and fences around the facility, signaling the seriousness of the situation. DHS Chief Kristi Noem indicated that federal agents would be mobilized in response to potential unrest.…
In a striking appeal for clemency, attorney David Schoen brings to light the alleged misconduct behind the prosecutions of Michael Sessa and Victor Orena. Schoen, who notably represented Trump during his second impeachment trial, lays bare what he characterizes as a profound failure of justice at the hands of Andrew Weissmann, a prosecutor he describes as “ethically bankrupt.” This serious assertion sets the tone for Schoen’s argument, pointing to a broader pattern of prosecutorial abuse. The appeal opens with a stark assertion: “Andrew Weissmann is the single most ethically bankrupt prosecutor I ever have encountered in 40 years of practicing…

The recent newsletter from Fox News Politics highlights significant developments surrounding the Trump administration and political happenings in Washington. One striking element is President Donald Trump’s bold declaration of himself as the “acting president” of Venezuela, a claim he backed up with a provocative social media post featuring a doctored Wikipedia page.

Trump’s assertive stance is a clear indicator of his administration’s ambitions in Latin America. He…
Planned Parenthood, the leading provider of abortion services in the United States, is at a turning point. According to Irin Carmon, a writer for New York Magazine, the organization is not the formidable political force it once was. The headline of her piece reads, “Planned Parenthood is facing a funding crisis and its political power is waning.” This signals a significant shift in the landscape surrounding abortion in America and offers hope to pro-life advocates. The past few years have not been kind to Planned Parenthood. The organization has closed over 50 facilities in 2025 alone, driven partly by changes…

The recent firing of Robert McBride, the deputy attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, sheds light on the intricate politics surrounding high-profile prosecutions. McBride’s dismissal follows his refusal to advance charges against former FBI Director James Comey, a case already dismissed by a federal judge. This scenario highlights the tensions within the Justice Department and raises questions about judicial influence and prosecutorial discretion. The background is critical. In September, James Comey was indicted on two counts: false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. This development initially suggested a potential shift in accountability for…
In a dramatic clash between military authority and congressional accountability, Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly has taken legal action against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The senator’s lawsuit aims to prevent the Pentagon from lowering his retirement rank and pay—retaliation he claims stems from his November 2025 video urging servicemembers to “ignore illegal orders.” This legal battle not only questions the boundaries of political speech for active and retired military personnel but also threatens to reshape the traditional relationship between the legislative and executive branches in matters of national defense. The crux of Kelly’s lawsuit lies in its assertion that…
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest boasts about his country’s nuclear capabilities reveal more theatrics than technological prowess. He recently championed his nation’s Burevestnik strategic cruise missile and Poseidon underwater drone as “unique and one-of-a-kind.” Yet, these weapons stem from outdated U.S. military concepts that were abandoned decades ago due to their limitations. In Putin’s grand December speech, he declared, “They are nuclear-powered devices, and that is why they will be unique and one-of-a-kind in their categories, ensuring strategic parity and security for Russia.” However, the truth is far less flattering. Experts point out that both Poseidon and Burevestnik mirror failed…
The recent unanimous approval by the United States Senate for a plaque commemorating January 6, 2021, stands as a troubling emblem of hypocrisy and an affront to American values. This memorial, meant to honor the Capitol’s defense, has been criticized for whitewashing the brutal reality of that day, particularly concerning the treatment of peaceful protesters. Innocent individuals exercising their rights that day suffered grievously, yet many of their stories remain obscured by the narratives perpetuated by those in power. The tragic deaths of unarmed protesters, including Ashli Babbitt, who was shot point-blank, have been relegated to footnotes in a narrative…
