It's Election Day in America, with voters heading to the polls to determine control of the U.S. House and Senate for the next two years. Republicans are defending their slim congressional majorities, but President Donald Trump predicts the GOP will hold the House and Senate for the final two years of his presidency. "We're going to win and let's make the next two years bigger and better and stronger than ever before," Trump told supporters Sunday night at a rally in Kansas. But Republicans are fighting political history, as the party in power in Washington has traditionally lost seats during midterm election years. The GOP also faces a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation tied in part to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and Trump's increasingly negative approval ratings.

The former chief of the FBI's Chicago field office said he was forced out of his job after he says he was wrongly blamed for the failed prosecution of six people who protested against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Windy City, according to a lawsuit he filed on Monday. Douglas DePodesta sued top Justice Department officials, alleging that federal prosecutors pushed "politically motivated prosecutions" against Chicago demonstrators before gathering evidence, according to the lawsuit. He said his superiors notified him that FBI Director Kash Patel pushed for his ouster before he was forced to resign over the summer. "I saw the writing on the wall," DePodesta told The Associated Press. DePodesta accused the top federal prosecutor in Illinois, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros, of launching a "campaign" within the DOJ to blame him after the so-called "Broadview Six" case fell apart e...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani , a Democrat, threatened to sue the Trump administration over Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) reported use of city-owned parking lots to stage immigration enforcement operations without the city's authorization. In a letter addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, acting ICE Director David Venturella and ICE New York field office Director Kenneth Genalo, Mamdani said he is "deeply troubled" by reports of ICE agents "using property owned by the City of New York to stage enforcement operations," which the mayor said is unauthorized and illegal. "This use of City property in furtherance of federal immigration enforcement is unauthorized and is therefore illegal, endangers City residents, and sows fear among those who seek to access City property," Mamdani wrote in the letter. "If your agents continue any unauthorized use of these lots, New York City will take legal action to prevent...

Don’t let the standings fool you: the Chicago Bears are the darling of the loaded NFC North, and they proved why on "Monday Night Football" against the Seattle Seahawks. Lumen Field and the "12s" never make it easy for a road team to play against the Seattle Seahawks, and it doesn’t help that this group just gave the Kansas City Chiefs its first loss of the season in Week 7. But the Bears, led by head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams, don’t seem to care where their games are held each week. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Their offense, and a defense that saw All-Pro Jeffery Simmons show out in his first game with the club since he was traded, made problems for the reigning Super Bowl champions in a 34-17 victory to improve to 6-2 on the season. The Minnesota Vikings are still in first place in the division at 6-1, but there are a lot of questions about their offensive struggles compared to a suffocating defense that has kept them on t...

A Democratic Senate candidate in Minnesota touted her bipartisan record Sunday but could not name a single issue she would work with President Donald Trump on, instead accusing his administration of "continued grift." The exchange came as Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota’s Democratic Senate nominee, campaigns against Republican Michele Tafoya in a race Republicans see as a rare opportunity to flip a traditionally blue state. Flanagan’s answer underscored the sharply partisan nature of the Minnesota race, where she has cast Tafoya as a rubber stamp for Trump and pledged to oppose the administration at nearly every turn. "I just want to be really clear that I’ve got a long track record of working with folks on the other side of the aisle," Flanagan told Fox News' Bill Melugin when asked if there were any policies she could see herself working with Trump on. Flanagan pointed to her work at the Children’s Defense Fund–Minnesota and her time in the Minnesota Legis...
