There are few things more clarifying in Washington than watching a federal prosecutor drop charges against a national monument vandal, only to find herself rushing to the White House hours after the president publicly mocked her on camera. That’s exactly what played out Monday. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, dropped …
She inherited a Senate seat and a legacy. Now she’s carving out her own path, and on one of the most contentious issues in Washington, she’s going further than her predecessor ever would.

The generic congressional ballot has been a source of quiet anxiety for Republicans all cycle. Democrats are holding a three-to-five point lead, enough to keep things competitive but far from comfortable for either side. Now a new poll from McLaughlin and Associates may have handed Republicans the reframe they’ve been looking for. The key insight …
The audacity required to argue in a federal legal filing that a daytime talk show qualifies as a “bona fide news interview program” is one thing. Doing it while clips of your hosts telling viewers to “vote Democrat in November” are freely available online is something else entirely. That is exactly the position Disney finds …
When Donald Trump publicly declares he disagrees “100%” with one of his own appointees and asks “I don’t know what she was thinking?” on Truth Social, that is not a subtle nudge. That is a full break, out in the open, for everyone to see. The target of that frustration is Jeanine Pirro, and the …

California’s redistricting commission redrew the state’s congressional maps ahead of 2026 with one clear goal: maximize Democratic advantage.

Wisconsin Democrats just took another loss in court, and this one stings because they walked right into it. The state party’s gubernatorial primary was already in serious trouble heading into Wednesday. Now a judge has closed the book on their last-ditch legal effort, and the ruling makes clear the damage was entirely self-inflicted. Here’s how …
Six weeks ago, a prominent television pundit declared Democrats were heavy favorites to retake the House, with the only remaining question being the size of their majority.

Joe Biden’s pardon of Anthony Fauci covered federal offenses. That’s it. By constitutional design, by every principle of American federalism, it cannot touch state-level conduct.
