More than a week after activists chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" at a high-profile rally in Michigan, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer condemned the rhetoric. "This hateful rhetoric is unacceptable, and does not represent Michigan or Dearborn," Whitmer’s office told Fox News Digital on Sunday. "The Dearborn community is full of hardworking, proud Americans. Our state is diverse and we are proud of it." A Whitmer spokesperson said the statement had previously been "prepared and...
Mike Johnson (R-La.) starts this week looking less like speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and more like a European prime minister. Partisan politics, at least as they’ve been understood in the United States, are flipped on their head.

A new abortion rights advocacy organization, Montanans Securing Reproductive Rights, officially launched its ballot initiative, which aims to enshrine abortion rights in Montana’s state constitution.

“Meet the Double Agent Who Now Controls House Conservatives,” the headline reads. “The spy’s mission was simple,” the story begins. “Gain their trust, become one of them, and eventually take them over.” The article claims to describe “the perfect mole” — a “clean-cut” politician “hungry for power and influence.” The subject: Republican Rep.

The United States vetoed Palestine’s draft resolution to have full membership in the United Nations (UN), during the UN Security Council on 18 April. Twelve members voted in favor, two (the United Kingdom and Switzerland) abstained, and the United States voted against Palestine becoming a UN member state, which would entail participating in decision-making and voting powers in the General Assembly for resolutions.

In recent years, an amazing number of sitting and former state House speakers have run into serious legal troubles, and as The Detroit Free Press reported, the list grew a little longer yesterday. The Free Press’ report added that the most serious of the charges, conducting a criminal enterprise, is a felony that could put the former Republican state House speaker behind bars for decades. “Our investigation has uncovered evidence that Lee Chatfield used various different schemes to embezzle,...
