Texas Republicans delivered major victories for conservatives Tuesday night, as state Sen. Mayes Middleton defeated Rep. Chip Roy in the Republican runoff for attorney general while Attorney General Ken Paxton ousted longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a closely watched Senate primary. Middleton defeated Roy with 56 percent of the vote, according to projections from the Associated Press, after the two candidates advanced to a runoff in March when neither secured a majority. Middleton had also led the first round of voting, finishing with 39 percent compared to Roy’s 31 percent. The victory sends Middleton to the November general election, where…

A family dinner at a lakeside South Carolina restaurant ended in tragedy when a powerful gust of wind reportedly turned a patio umbrella into a deadly projectile.

The umbrella struck her in the neck and severed her carotid artery,…

It hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for President Donald Ttrump, of late, but each time the political left breathlessly proclaims MAGA is dead or dying, midterm primary results prove them wrong. On May 26, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated incumbent Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) in a runoff to determine who will face Democrat James Talarico for Cornyn’s seat in November. Cornyn isn’t exactly an anti-Trumper, though that might change after the president put the final nail in the coffin of his Senate career by endorsing his primary opponent. Still, the 26-year senator definitely put himself in the political crosshairs.…

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be hitting the unofficial campaign trail to stake an early claim on the 2028 Democratic Party presidential nomination. While her denials lack the stridency of an outright dismissal, her activities of late show every indication that she sees herself as a real contender. What does AOC bring to the political table, and will her mass of liabilities sink the nascent campaign before it even begins? AOC and the Well-Trodden Path Contenders make a number of political pilgrimages on their path to declaring a candidacy; notably, very different ones for each party. In terms…

Republicans endured multiple setbacks in the nationwide redistricting war on Tuesday when a federal appeals court ruled against a new congressional map in Alabama and state lawmakers blocked a new map in South Carolina. Both plans could have helped Republicans pick up additional seats in November’s midterm elections. Alabama Redistricting After the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in Louisiana v. Callais limited racial gerrymandering, Alabama lawmakers began working to establish a congressional map that was created in 2023. The map would have favored the GOP and was previously blocked in court. Despite the Supreme Court’s VRA…

On this edition of Liberty Nation Radio, we tackle Kamala Harris’ “Brainstorm of No Bad Ideas,” the redistricting frenzy, and OPEC’s coming demise.

The idea of so-called community schools dates back to the early 20th-century Progressive Era. This plan turns schools into one-stop shops for families and is accompanied by so-called wraparound services staffed by—typically unionized—government workers. It blurs the lines between parents and the state, thereby undermining the sanctity of the parent–child bond. California union leaders are particularly interested in negotiating the inclusion of community schools in collective bargaining agreements. They want to ensure that thousands of new community schools are implemented by 2031 and that they are an integral part of this dubious process. At the national level, U.S. Senators Chris…

The 2026 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community was published on 18 March. The unclassified report is posted here. One of the most notable structural shifts in the 2026 report is that communist China is no longer singled out as the preeminent individual threat the way it was previously. The 2025 assessment highlighted China as the actor that most “stands out” as a threat to the United States, whereas the 2026 assessment draws more attention to how a cluster of adversarial nations is collectively propping each other up. The report now frames the threat in coalition terms: Russia,…

Most Americans assume the justice system only comes crashing into your life if you clearly did something wrong. That is part of what makes the story of John Wilson so unsettling. Wilson was a successful businessman, philanthropist, husband, and father … with no criminal record. Then, almost overnight, he found himself at the center of one of the biggest true crime sagas in America: Operation Varsity Blues. The case exploded across headlines worldwide because it had everything cable news loves. Rich parents. Elite colleges. Celebrity defendants. Public outrage. It became less of a criminal case and more of a national…

In the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains, just off Highway 9, there is a restaurant that has become a community icon. It has a redwood-paneled dining room with exposed roof timbers that was built in 1912 and a historic bar with a wood-burning fireplace. For over a century, the people in this isolated town have treasured this gathering place. Near downtown Los Angeles, along a busy commercial boulevard, a family-owned Mexican restaurant has thrived since 1925, offering locals and tourists classic dishes in a dining room filled with memorabilia. Countless independent businesses in California remain prosperous despite a regulatory…

Negotiations between the United States and Iran are reportedly facing an unusual obstacle: Iran’s supreme leader is allegedly operating entirely from hiding, forcing communications to move through secret courier channels. According to Fox News, counterterrorism experts told the outlet that any final agreement with the United States would ultimately need approval from Mojtaba Khamenei, who they claim has remained concealed for months amid escalating tensions with Washington. “Khamenei is a designated target, and every confirmed sighting is a coordinate,” Dr. Omar Mohammed told the outlet. “The courier system used for messaging is not transitional. It is the operating system of…

Bonchie of RedState.com asked an interesting question on X: Has a single late night comic told a single joke about Graham Platner? That question shouldn’t have to be asked the radical-left Democrat Senate nominee in Maine, the one who had the Totenkopf symbol tattooed on his chest, which symbolizes the SS who ran the death camps. Okay, that doesn’t sound funny. But Platner is a walking, talking pin-cushion for comedians.

Carlos De La Cruz scored a major Republican primary victory Tuesday night, defeating longtime Texas lawmaker John Lujan in the race for Texas’ newly redrawn 35th Congressional District. According to Fox News, the win gives Republicans a high-profile candidate in a district reshaped during Texas redistricting and could potentially create a rare political milestone in Washington. De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran, is the brother of Monica De La Cruz, a close ally of President Donald Trump who already represents a nearby South Texas district. If De La Cruz wins the general election in November, the siblings would join…

This is not about being racist. This is just about saying, “Don’t I have a right to my language to still exist?”May 27, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield Leave a Comment A revealing little moment in an Atlantic interview with Spanish economist Jesus Fernandez Villaverd. Villaverd’s premise, that the UN is overstating birth rates and that there is an even bigger worldwide decline, is interesting, but gets little meaningful airing, What is interesting is when the economist shows what the impact of mass migration would be on some of the world’s nations. Japan right now is around 98 percent ethnically Japanese.…

A Title IX lawsuit filed by a former U.S. Olympian against USA Fencing regarding alleged transgender athletes competing in a women’s event in the past has been dismissed by a federal judge. Fernando J. Gaitan Jr., a Missouri District Judge who was appointed in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush, issued a dismissal without prejudice for the lawsuit that was brought on by ex-U.S. Olympic fencer Margherita Guzzi Vincenti.

On Monday, Hasan Piker went live for six hours under a banner that read “FEDS ARE AFTER ME.” He spent most of it cast as the victim of a witch hunt. Then, about thirty-seven minutes in, he did the one thing a victim never does. He named the man who pays for it.The man is Neville Roy Singham, an American Marxist who lives in Shanghai and praises the Chinese Communist Party. The Treasury subpoena that scared him is not about a streamer’s trip. There is a real legal case here, and Piker just told the country where it leads. The…

Maureen Galindo lost her Democratic runoff on Tuesday after weeks of backlash over remarks about imprisoning “American Zionists” at an ICE detention facility sparked outrage across her party. Galindo was defeated by Johnny Garcia in the race for Texas’ newly redrawn 35th Congressional District, according to Fox News. The South Texas district became open after Gregorio Casar decided to run in a neighboring district that is being vacated by Lloyd Doggett. Republican-led redistricting reshaped the seat into a more GOP-friendly district, raising the stakes for Democrats already concerned about holding onto the area. Galindo, a sex therapist, drew national criticism…

What’s the cost of a Harvard degree? A whole lot of money. What is its value? Not a whole lot. I’ve been writing about Ivy League grade inflation and the numbers make a mockery of the idea that a Harvard or Yale education is worth anything at all. In 2005, a quarter of Harvard students received A’s. In 2025, it’s over 60%. At Yale, A’s went from 67% of grades in 2010 to 78% of grades in 2023. The prestigious university has had awkward moments like before, such as when 91% of students graduated with honors in 2001, and these days…

By Joseph Mattera, Op-ed Contributor Wednesday, May 27, 2026Getty Images In Revelation 3:1–5, Jesus delivers one of the most piercing rebukes to the church in Sardis:”I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead … You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.” This is a staggering indictment. Here was a church with a reputation for life — perhaps known for its activity, influence, or history — yet in the eyes of Christ it…

White House officials urged a group of state attorneys generals to partner with the Trump administration to combat fraud in welfare programs and hold fraudsters accountable.“One of the things we’ve realized in combating fraud is that the resources of the federal government, while vast, can be supplemented and aided by a lot of the people who know best what’s happening in their states, which is the attorneys general represented here today,” Vice President J.D. Vance, head of the White House’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, said Tuesday. “[W]e’re protecting two classes of victims here: We’re protecting the American taxpayers who…

Democratic attorneys general decided against attending a Tuesday roundtable at the White House to discuss fraud in welfare, including Medicaid.Speaking to reporters during a webinar Tuesday afternoon, the Democratic attorneys general claimed they were invited late Friday afternoon and that it was too short of notice. Those appearing in the webinar were Attorneys General Rob Bonta of California, Letitia James of New York, Jennifer Davenport of New Jersey, Josh Kaul of Wisconsin and Anne Lopez of Hawaii. Bonta told reporters that the short notice they were given sent a clear message that they were either an afterthought or were not…

A Dominican Republic judge found Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco criminally responsible for the sexual and psychological abuse of a 14-year-old girl, then exempted him from punishment, ruling that Franco was simultaneously a victim of extortion and blackmail by the girl’s mother.Franco, 25, received a two-year suspended sentence. He will serve no time behind bars. Prosecutors had sought five years in prison. The outcome leaves a convicted abuser free, a child victim without meaningful legal vindication, and Major League Baseball still deciding what, if anything, to do about a player it sidelined more than two years ago. It is…

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey spent Memorial Day morning honoring George Floyd. He got around to honoring America’s war dead two and a half hours later, and only after a reporter asked why he hadn’t.At 9:03 a.m. Central Time on Memorial Day, Frey published a five-post thread on X dedicated entirely to the sixth anniversary of Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody. The thread ran through policing reform, racial equity, reconstruction at George Floyd Square, and the city’s ongoing obligations. Not a word about the men and women who died wearing the uniform of the United States. That omission stood out.…

President Donald Trump used a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday to renew his case for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the state’s Republican Senate runoff, praising Paxton’s loyalty and record while casting incumbent Sen. John Cornyn as insufficiently supportive when it mattered most. The post landed two days before Tuesday’s runoff vote, a contest that has drawn millions in campaign spending and become one of the most closely watched intraparty fights of the cycle.Trump’s message left little room for ambiguity. He urged Texas Republicans to remember Paxton’s tenure as attorney general and framed the race as a test of…

A judge sentenced Jacques to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus an additional 20 years.The sentence means Jacques will spend the rest of his natural life behind bars, a fitting outcome for a crime whose details, laid out over a trial that began May 19, painted a picture of methodical…

President Trump has spent recent weeks endorsing primary challengers to Republican senators who crossed him, a political strategy that may feel satisfying but carries a steep cost. If Justice Clarence Thomas or Justice Samuel Alito steps down, Trump could find himself short of the votes he needs to confirm a replacement.The arithmetic is straightforward. Republicans hold 53 Senate seats. A Supreme Court confirmation requires 50 votes, with Vice President JD Vance available to break a tie. That means Trump can lose three Republican senators and still get a nominee through. Four defections, and the nomination fails. As Newsweek reported in…

Billionaire Tom Steyer wants to be California’s next governor, and he’s making clear where he stands on one of the most contentious issues in American sports: he supports letting biological males compete on girls’ high school teams.Steyer laid out his position on the podcast “I’ve Had It,” hosted by Jennifer Welch, and repeated it in a separate interview with CBS Los Angeles. His argument boils down to compassion for transgender youth, and a dismissal of the competitive fairness concerns that have driven legislation in dozens of states and reshaped the national debate over women’s athletics. What Steyer did not address,…
