We just won Missouri v. Biden. As Missouri's Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families " censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn Facebook, X, YouTube, and the rest into their private speech police, labeling dissent "misinformation" while they pushed their narrative on the American people. Today, after years of unrelenting litigation, we deep state into a historic 10-year, court-enforceable Consent Decree. It directly binds the Surgeon General, the CDC, and CISA: no more threats of legal, regulatory, or economic punishment. No more coercion. No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech.

Iran's government on Wednesday rejected President Trump's plan for ending the war and vowed to continue fighting until a list of Iran's own conditions are met.

Iran's demands include war reparation payments and recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

A long-awaited meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will take place in Beijing on May 14 and 15, the White House said Wednesday. Trump and first lady Melania Trump will also host Xi and Madame Peng Liyuan for a "reciprocal visit" in Washington, D.C., at a to-be-announced date later this year, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a briefing.


President Donald Trump gets a daily two-minute video briefing of "stuff blowing up," according to Trumpworld sources who made the revelation to NBC News. As the Iran war rages through its fourth week, attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have exacerbated surging prices and roiled the stock market, and Iran has continued to strike Israel and other targets in the region. But one prominent feature of the war has been a relentless stream of attacks on the media by Trump and his officials over coverage of the war. A new exclusive report by the NBC News reporting team of Katherine Doyle, Courtney Kube, and Dan De Luce purports to explain at least some of the disconnect. Citing four insiders, the report suggests Trump's daily video briefing may be distorting his perspective:


A jury convicted a Wisconsin man of election fraud and identity theft for requesting the ballots of Republican state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Democratic Racine Mayor Cory Mason without their consent. Jurors in Racine County on Tuesday found Harry Wait guilty of two misdemeanor election fraud charges and one felony identity theft charge following a two-day trial. He was acquitted of a second count of identity theft. Wait leads a group that makes false election claims, including that Wisconsin's elections are riddled with fraud and that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020 by about 21,000 votes.


U.S. President Donald Trump publicly confirmed on Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging him to maintain an aggressive military posture against Iran, validating a New York Times report that the kingdom's de facto ruler views the ongoing U.S.-Israeli campaign as a once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the Middle East. Asked by a reporter whether MBS was encouraging him on Iran policy, Trump responded bluntly: "He does, he is a warrior. He is fighting with us, by the way."


Huge bets keep surfacing on prediction platforms right before President Trump jolts the markets with surprise announcements"but the White House insists there is nothing to see here. The latest flashpoint came early Monday, when an abrupt burst of oil-futures trading hit the market about 15 minutes before Trump announced he was delaying threatened strikes on Iranian energy targets. The White House moved quickly to bat the story away, with spokesperson Kush Desai branding suggestions that administration officials may have been profiting from nonpublic information "baseless and irresponsible." But the Iran trades were not an isolated blip. Axios reported Wednesday that, before the first U.S. strike on Iran, more than 150 Polymarket accounts placed four-figure bets predicting an American attack by the next day.


Today, 4:13 pm Iraq says its armed forces "will not remain silent" after an airstrike yesterday killed seven soldiers at a site said to belong to a coalition of pro-Iran militias that is part of the Iraqi military. Despite Iraq's attempts to stay out of the war in Iran, says the Iraqi prime minister's office on X, "the condemned attacks that targeted our military units have persisted, the latest of which occurred this morning in a treacherous aggression against the Al-Habbaniyah military clinic affiliated with the Ministry of Defense." According to Al Jazeera, the attack targeted positions of the Popular Mobilization Forces, which is part of Iraq's regular armed forces but includes brigades belonging to Iran-backed groups. The PMF blames the US for the strike, which killed one of its commanders and 14 other PMF fighters. Promoted: The Jaffa Institute: Providing war relief to Israelis in need Keep Watching Read more
