Donald Trump is headed to Long Island Friday to make a case midterm voters can feel in their own neighborhoods: the country is getting safer, and he wants credit for it. New FBI figures, confirmed to the White House ahead of Friday’s official release, show the steepest one-year drop in violent crime the bureau has ever recorded. The murder rate
For years, the Southern Poverty Law Center told America who the extremists were. Now federal prosecutors say the SPLC was paying some of them. Heidi Beirich, once one of the group’s most senior officials, was arrested Wednesday. Prosecutors say she helped run a scheme that funneled donor money — millions of dollars, raised to fight hate — into the pockets

Wisconsin Democrats just got a plot twist nobody saw coming. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley pulled off a squeaker of a win over Francesca Hong in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for governor, overtaking a candidate who’d been sitting on a double-digit lead in the polls right up until voters actually showed up.

Abdul El-Sayed would like to be the next senator from Michigan. That means, among other things, asking Michigan voters to believe the man he is today matters more than the things he said a few years ago. That may be a harder sell than he expected.

People should be able to walk through their capital without fear. Children should come home. Illegal guns should come off the streets. Murder suspects should be found. That is the job. One year after President Trump launched the Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, his administration says the operation has produced more than 16,000 arrests. The numbers are striking:
Kaitlan Collins gave Abdul El-Sayed a clean opening Wednesday night. All he had to do was say the words: I don’t want Hasan Piker’s help. He wouldn’t say them. The setup came from John Fetterman, who’d warned that Piker — the controversial left-wing streamer who’s been out campaigning for El-Sayed in Michigan — could become a real headache for Democrats

Senate Republicans have had enough of Anthony Fauci’s silence. This week they moved to hold him in contempt of Congress — a real step, not a symbolic one — after he refused, again and again, to answer questions about his role in the nation’s COVID-19 response. The vote in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee broke down along

Michigan Democrats just did something interesting. They didn’t just pick a nominee Tuesday night — they picked a fight. With their own party. Abdul El-Sayed beat Rep. Haley Stevens, the establishment’s chosen candidate, in a primary that got uglier and more expensive than anything the state has seen. More than $80 million, all told — a record for a Democratic

Democrat Rep. Jared Huffman (CA) accused the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) of politically weaponizing religion by “rebuking” Democrats who support abortion, and the congressman suggested that these Catholic churches should
