As he navigated the crowds in an impromptu appearance at a protest outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker defended figures in the pro-China activist network funded by American Marxist tech millionaire Neville Roy Singham as "wonderful people," while dismissing scrutiny surrounding his Cuba trip. Asked about reporting on Singham's network and its connections to far-left activism , Piker said there is "this environment of suspicion" surrounding Singham and his activities, taking a "sinister shape," but they are "totally above board and totally legal." In recent months, many agitators from the Singham network have fueled, coordinated and organized fiery protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, New York City, Los Angeles, New Jersey and elsewhere.

Three protesters dubbed the "Spokane 3" were convicted Thursday on federal conspiracy charges stemming from protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Washington state last year. The defendants — Jac Archer, Justice Forral and Bajun Mavalwalla II — were accused of attempting to prevent federal officers from transporting two detained immigrants from Spokane to Tacoma in June 2025, KUOW reported. They were among hundreds of demonstrators who responded to a social media post by former Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart calling for supporters to block the transfer bus, according to the report.

Eight riders were left dangling near the top of a towering roller coaster for more than three hours before firefighters rescued them one by one at a Texas amusement park, officials said. The Galveston Police Department said authorities responded around 5:35 p.m. Thursday to Pleasure Pier in Galveston , where the Iron Shark roller coaster malfunctioned.

It’s right up there with such presidential fibs as "Read my lips – no new taxes" and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." The latest declaration belongs to President Donald Trump : "I don’t care about the midterms." Right. There is a mountain of evidence that the president very much cares about the midterms . TRUMP OWNS THE GOP. COULD REPUBLICANS PAY THE PRICE IN THE MIDTERMS? So why claim otherwise? It was his way of saying he’s above petty politics, which seems to be the only kind of politics we have these days. It wasn’t as bad as "I don’t care about Americans’ financial problems." But still. THE ART OF PERFECTION: HOW TRUMP SURVIVES EVEN HIS WORST BLUNDERS THROUGH SHEER REPETITION  This was Trump’s way of saying that nothing is more important than stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. John Cornyn after Paxton handily won the runoff against Cornyn on Tuesday. When President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton late in the race, the campaign was effectively over. It is President Trump’s GOP, and his endorsement in a primary is the decider. Period. Had Cornyn been the nominee, his re-election would have been a layup. Paxton’s race against Texas state Rep. James Talarico will be much more like a contested 3-pointer in the NBA than a layup. Talarico is indeed, as President Trump nicely summed it up, "weird." But even given that, Paxton will need to raise a ton of money because the engines of the Democratic fundraising machine are already at top speed for the hard-left Talarico. Paxton should win, but even Golden State Warriors star and future NBA Hall of Famer Steph Curry hits only slightly more than 42% of his shots from beyond the arc. Curry may be the best ev...

Farmers across the Northeast are facing devastating losses after a rare late-April freeze destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crops, wiping out entire apple and peach harvests in some areas. At Terhune Orchards in Princeton, New Jersey, orchard owner Tannwen Mount says the damage is unlike anything her family has experienced before. "It was really a catastrophic loss for our whole region, not just here at Terhune Orchards," Mount said. Usually, spring at the orchard is marked by budding apple trees and the beginning of a busy growing season. But this year, many trees are showing little sign of life after temperatures plunged during a critical stage of crop development. PREVIOUS CROP LOSS FOR FARMERS IN THE NORTHEAST Agriculture officials say the freeze hit at nearly the worst possible moment. "This is what we call a generational freeze," said New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Ed Wengryn. "Almost like a hundred-year storm — almost a perfect even...

A California teacher was arrested after allegedly engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor, authorities said. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit said it is investigating allegations involving inappropriate contact with a student at a school in Moreno Valley, California.

Former Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, is poised to secure a comeback bid for Congress after winning a hotly contested Democratic primary Tuesday.  Allred defeated Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Texas, in a runoff election for a recently redrawn House seat Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.  The victor is almost certain to win the November general election for the deep-blue district. Republicans redrew the Dallas-based seat to make it even more Democratic last year while passing a new congressional map designed to help the GOP flip as many as five seats. The primary contest turned negative as both candidates fought to keep their political careers alive in one of the few remaining Texas House seats where Democrats still hold an advantage.  REDISTRICTING HELPS REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS FLIP HOUSE SEATS Democratic Texas Rep. Marc Veasey, the district’s incumbent, chose not to run for re-election, prompting Johnson to join the race after Republicans effectively drew her out of her district.  John...

AUSTIN, TX - President Donald Trump has a new target this week as he takes aim at Republican critics — longtime GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. Trump is targeting Cornyn as "VERY disloyal" as he backs Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , a major Trump ally and MAGA firebrand, in Tuesday's combustible and expensive runoff election for the GOP Senate nomination in the right-leaning state. The ballot box showdown serves as the latest tests of Trump's immense grip over the Republican Party and the strength of his endorsements in GOP nomination races. The winner of the runoff will face off against rising Democratic Party star state Rep. James Talarico in the general election in a race that is among a handful that may decide if the Republicans hold their slim 53-47 majority in the Senate. Talarico, who topped progressive star Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, in the March primary, is trying to become the first Democrat in nearly four decades to win a Senate electi...

Here's the usual media narrative: Donald Trump did something awful (or outrageous, or borderline crazy), and the Republicans in Congress are wimps who won't stand up to him.  Rinse, dry, repeat.  But that changed dramatically in the last few days.  The new story line: Donald Trump did something beyond the pale and the brave Republicans are standing up to him.  They're mad as hell, and they're not going to take it anymore.  THE ART OF PERFECTION: HOW TRUMP SURVIVES EVEN HIS WORST BLUNDERS THROUGH SHEER REPETITION If you don't recall this happening before in Trump's second term, that's because it hasn't. So now you have the press and much of the GOP marching in lockstep.  It's a revolt. Practically a revolution. And while most journalists love intra-party strife on both sides (such as the Dems' dumb 2024 autopsy), they particularly relish a development that seems to be breaking, or at least loosening, Trump's iron grip on power .  There was so...

At least 82 people were killed and more than 120 others hospitalized after a massive gas explosion ripped through a coal mine in China late Friday, according to the Associated Press (AP). Two people remained missing. The catastrophic blast at the Liushenyu coal mine in Qinyuan County, located in China’s northern Shanxi province, marked the country’s deadliest mining disaster in recent years. Local officials, who have launched an investigation into the incident, said they uncovered "serious violations" by the mine’s operator, Shanxi Tongzhou Coal & Coke Group.
