President Donald Trump’s administration has turned the tide on unauthorized immigration with a vigor that’s got conservatives cheering from the sidelines.In a stunning display of policy muscle, Trump’s team has pushed out over 2.5 million unauthorized migrants this year alone through a mix of executive actions and strict enforcement, while claiming a seven-month streak of zero releases into the country, according to the Daily Caller.

President Trump is doubling down on protecting American innovation by keeping the heat on Chinese semiconductors with tariffs locked in through June 2027, the Washington Examiner reported. The administration has announced that the current 50% tariff rate on these imports, initially set under the previous leadership, will remain unchanged until that date, after which a new, likely higher rate will be revealed with at least 30 days’ notice. This move isn’t just a random jab; it stems from a long-running investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, targeting what the U.S. calls China’s unfair play in the tech…

The sense you get from reviewing the interactions is that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is nervous in his need to maintain very close support from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The moment at 10:48 is important, “Someone said in the room: if you don’t have Trump“… and the U.S.…
In a sweeping reversal to the Biden administration’s pro-abortion agenda, the Trump administration has barred the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from aborting the unborn babies of veterans and their dependents.

President Donald Trump’s return to the White House has been marked not by vague pronouncements but by measurable outcomes. On the economy, at the border, in matters of law and order, and in foreign policy, his first 11 months in office have shown – a point too often overlooked – that conservative leadership still matters.

After years of struggling in federal court to defend its regulation of speech online and in the real world, New York is getting creative in how it seeks to dissuade purportedly harmful words and behaviors, particularly through obligations on tech platforms.The Empire State’s next gambit is treating social media itself as an “addictive” substance, and its core components as addictive features, to coerce platforms into speech that denounces their own products and services when served to users in New York.
