Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now publicly calling out members of her own party for shielding Joe Biden from primary challengers in 2024, and then pretending they wanted him gone all along. The New York progressive used a Thursday appearance on "The Majority Report" podcast to level a pointed charge at Democratic leadership: the same insiders who locked arms around Biden before a single primary vote were cast are now jockeying to claim they saw the problem early. Ocasio-Cortez named no names, but her description of a "consultant class" racing to distance itself from Biden's failed candidacy left little doubt about who she meant. Her comments land two years after Democrats lost the White House and amid an ongoing internal reckoning…Open

President Trump has directed the military to prepare a fresh wave of strikes against Iran that could begin within days, a sharp escalation after an Iranian missile attack on American forces in Jordan during active negotiations. Trump previewed the coming offensive at a Friday cabinet meeting at Camp David, telling his war cabinet the United States is "going big" and accusing Tehran of negotiating in bad faith while simultaneously targeting American troops. The New York Post reported that the military has drafted multiple options for fresh attacks, including a sustained bombing campaign lasting ten to fourteen days and potential strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, including electricity serving Tehran. The order follows a sequence…Open

Former Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes quit the Democratic gubernatorial primary less than two weeks before the August 11 election, the same day a newspaper report raised questions about anonymous allegations of inappropriate behavior reviewed by his own party. Barnes announced his withdrawal Thursday in a video posted to his Facebook page, telling supporters that the outcome of the primary was already settled. He pointed to polling that showed democratic socialist candidate Francesca Hong pulling ahead of the crowded Democratic field. His campaign simultaneously issued a written statement denying any wrongdoing. But the timing told a different story. The Associated Press confirmed that the Wisconsin Democratic Party had…Open

Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller faces a tightening reelection race and growing calls for a House Ethics investigation after his ex-wife alleged in police reports that he threw her against a wall and once held a gun to her head. Emily Moreno, Miller's ex-wife and the daughter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, told police that the congressman "threw her against the wall, which resulted in an obvious grab mark on her upper arm" during one incident, ABC News reported after obtaining the police reports. In separate statements to officers, Moreno alleged Miller had previously "held a gun to her head" and thrown hot water on her. She also recounted her two-year-old daughter telling her, "Daddy kill you." Miller has never been charged with a crime.…Open

A divided federal appeals court ruled that a rural Oregon school district lawfully fired an education specialist for keeping books about biological sex in his office, a decision the dissenting judge warned strips public employees of their First Amendment rights the moment a student walks by. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its split ruling on July 21 in the case of Roderick Theis, a licensed clinical social worker employed by the InterMountain Education Service District in rural Oregon. Theis kept three children's books in his office: Johnny the Walrus by Matt Walsh, and He Is He and She Is She by Ryan and Bethany Bomberger. All three books present sex as binary and immutable. IMESD characterized the display as a "hostile…Open
Multiple United Nations relief agencies have refused to hand over employee records demanded by a federal investigation into Hamas infiltration of humanitarian operations in Gaza, even as U.S. diplomats call UNRWA a "cancerous" institution that must be severed from the UN system.

Multiple United Nations relief agencies have refused to hand over employee records demanded by a federal investigation into Hamas infiltration of humanitarian operations in Gaza, even as U.S. diplomats call UNRWA a "cancerous" institution that must be severed from the UN system. The USAID Office of Inspector General, a law-enforcement body independent of the now largely defunct USAID, sent letters to six UN agencies in December 2025 requesting the names, contact information, dates and places of birth, and details on any Hamas interactions involving their personnel. More than seven months later, not one of the six has turned over the full set of documents. The Washington Free Beacon obtained unredacted copies of both the inspector…Open
