Two candidates — Stefany Shaheen, the daughter of retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Maura Sullivan, an Obama-era official — remained locked in a Democratic primary race early Wednesday morning in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District. The contested race remains too close to call as both Shaheen and Sullivan, the two frontrunners, vie for a chance to keep the district under Democratic control as its incumbent, Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., pursues higher office. Pappas, who has represented the district since 2019, announced a bid for the U.S. Senate last year. EX-GOP SENATOR CLEARS HURDLE IN CRUCIAL COMEBACK BID AS REPUBLICANS TRY TO FLIP KEY SENATE SEAT "I’m honored that the people of New Hampshire have entrusted me to fight for them; I’m proud of what we have accomplished together and I’m going to continue this fight in the U.S. Senate," Pappas said in a press release. Incumbents often present their party’s best chance to win in competitive districts . Pappas last ...

Authorities on Tuesday said key braking systems did not deploy during Sunday’s deadly plane crash after an Amazon cargo jet overran the runway at Miami International Airport and struck two vehicles, killing five people. While the aircraft’s wheel brakes were applied, available data indicates that the speed brakes and thrust reversers did not, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). There was "no indication in the recorded data that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed," Chihoon Shin, the NTSB investigator in charge, said. Shin said investigators plan to interview the pilots involved, adding that officials are not yet going to speculate about what should have happened during the landing.

The direction of the Democrat Party is the talk of the 2026 midterms . Will it go farther left or somehow moderate? The simple answer is that Democrat Party will move even farther left. As the nation considers this question, it is a mistake to look at the current Democrat Party in a vacuum. We should not be focused on individual candidates. The focus should be on the trend. What is happening in the modern Democrat Party is the natural progression of parties on the left. HOW THE 'LONG MARCH' THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS LED TO SOCIALIST TAKEOVER OF DEM PARTY: 'NEED TO WAKE UP' Consider this: In 1887, President Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, vetoed a drought relief bill stating that "Though the people support the government, the government should not support the people." Cleveland’s message was stark. Government was not our brother’s keeper. A half century later, however, the times and the Democrat Party changed dramatically, with government support of the people at ...

The Texas Board of Education gave final approval to changes to the state's high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity. The amended social studies curriculum, which covers U.S. history, government and world geography, comes after dozens of people gave public testimony, with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version. The board approved language asserting that "radical Islam" motivated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terrorist groups involved in the attack. The material also requires students to study early Islam through Prophet Muhammad's "brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes," the "normalization of slavery" and the taking of female captives as "harem slaves."

Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles on Tuesday, after U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Ukraine's capital as part of an effort to resume stalled peace negotiations. Ukrainian officials said the attack involved ballistic and cruise missiles, according to CNN, and residential buildings in two districts of the city sustained damage as people were urged to remain indoors. Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said people were trapped inside a residential building after the attacks. RUSSIA LAUNCHES BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK ON KYIV HOURS AFTER ZELENSKYY WARNS OF MAJOR STRIKE The attacks, which caused fires across the city, including at an educational facility, came after Witkoff and Kushner met with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv on Sunday. The day prior, they met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow as the Trump administration attempts to bring an end to the war that began in February 2022. Witkoff said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to a three-day ceasefir...

America has nearly 7 million unfilled jobs. Some of those positions remain open because employers can't find workers with the right technical skills. But ask business owners directly and you'll hear something different. Too many candidates can't show up on time; struggle to take initiative or accept constructive criticism. They can’t solve problems without detailed instructions, nor can they handle an ordinary setback without falling apart. Politicians and pundits might blame globalization, automation or data centers. They're looking in the wrong buildings. I WORRY LESS ABOUT SCREENS THAN ABOUT THE CHALLENGES TODAY’S TEENS NEVER FACE This crisis didn't begin in the workplace. It began in the classroom. I spent years as a teacher and as a school administrator before I ever ran an education nonprofit. I watched this happen from the inside. Schools gradually abandoned one of their most important responsibilities: to build character. JONATHAN TURLEY: CHICAGO SCHOOLS REW...

We all remember how bad it got. Just a few short years ago, it felt like every major institution — from corporate America, to media, to universities, to Hollywood, to our own government — had decided that half the population was the enemy. Speech was policed, businesses were pressured, and ordinary Americans found themselves locked out of basic services for holding the wrong opinions. A lot of people are now saying that chapter is closed. "Woke 1 was crazy," Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez said recently, laughing. Others have triumphantly declared that "woke" has been defeated. I understand the desire to move on. But those of us who lived through the mayhem shouldn’t be so quick to agree. Here’s what actually happened, and why the danger hasn’t disappeared. The woke ideology that pervaded nearly every aspect of public life did not conquer American institutions by force of argument alone. Rather, it spread so rapidly because corporate America, in particular, became a wil...
