BREAKING: The 7,000 IRS agents fired by Trump and DOGE appear to have mainly been employees who worked in the Large Business and International (LB&I) division, which audits companies with more than $10 million in assets and high-income individuals. Weird, right? It’s almost

My letter in response to Rand Paul and his poorly thought out Stop Funding Religiously Oppressive Regimes Act. His proposal clearly hurts those trying to meet his end goals. bgdailynews.com/2025/03/04/opn…

The UN approved a resolution for an International Day of Hope. It was approved 161 to 1. The only country to vote no? America -- under orders by Donald Trump.

Currently in downtown Seoul: HUGE street protest and march calling for the removal of Yoon Suk Yeol. They want the Constitutional Court to uphold the impeachment against him. Decision could come next week.

For the last 3 years, the US kept a database to track thousands and thousands of Ukrainian CHILDREN abducted by Russia The Trump administration not only just stopped the program -- they appear to have deleted all of the data Trump is now aiding and abetting Putin's WAR CRIMES

This video is so disturbing. I’ve always considered myself pro-Israel. But if that now means arresting, jailing, and deporting someone whose only “crime” we know of was writing a pro-Palestine op-ed, then count me out. I want nothing to do with that.

My recent survey data suggesting majority support for TW and SK defense even among those less interested in a US engaged in international affairs.

This is bullshit. All combat positions already had gender neutral standards Pete. If you are a member of the press, remember that this guy lies for a living. Do your homework before you put out a headline.

Instead of responding to a single concern in any letter, and his office not once answering the phone or returning messages, Senator Rand Paul just signed me up for his newsletter instead...which doesn't address them either. This is ridiculous, but seems on brand.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

ABC EXCLUSIVE: President Trump is poised to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar. It’s to be used as Air Force One and then transferred to the Trump library by January 2029. Perhaps the biggest foreign gift ever. DOJ insists it’s legal, not bribery, not violation of

Been saying this for awhile, but will repeat it for emphasis: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Lee Jae-Myung wins South Korean election, with only a slight increase in his vote share compared to his '22 loss. In the absence of a third party, the PPP might have held on here, despite Yoon's impeachment. chosun.com/election2025/
