'Let me go! Let go of me!'

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced three bipartisan bills on Wednesday in an effort to tighten the screws on Moscow and its backers nearly three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. If passed by the Senate, the trio of bills will label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, sanction China for supporting Russia’s war effort, […]

Hozier comes from County Wicklow in Ireland, where a love of blues, soul, folk, and gospel shaped his writing and his voice. He studied at Trinity College Dublin, sang with the choral group Anúna, and began releasing solo work in 2008. The turning point arrived in 2013 with the first version of his breakout single “Take Me to Church,” which he wrote, recorded, and released while still at home. The song’s video drew international attention for its human rights message, and the single’s slow build on radio and streaming put an Irish newcomer on playlists around the world.

Two-thirds of state attorneys general have jumped into the fray over a potential federal rule to require proof of citizenship for voting forms.  The U.S. Election Assistance Commission, a four-member federal panel, will review a petition started by watchdog group America First Legal to add the requirement on the federal voter registration form. Now, 19 Democrat attorneys general—led by Rob Bonta of California—oppose such a rule, and 14 Republican attorneys general—led by Ken Paxton of Texas—support it.  America First Legal said about 353,000 public comments were officially registered with the government on the issue, with the overwhelming majority in favor of the requirement. The comment period closed on Monday.  “It’s imperative that only eligible U.S. citizens are registering and voting in our elections,” Paxton said in a public statement Monday.  “Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic, and every illegal vote dilutes the voice of law-abiding American citizens,” he continued. “We must require proof of citizenship to protect the voice of the true American people, which is why I’m leading this national coalition in supporting AFL’s rulemaking petition.”  My book, “The Myth of Voter Suppression,” documents how noncitizens and even illegal immigrants have voted in past elections, in some cases leading to criminal charges.  Joining Paxton are Republican Attorneys General Steve Marshall of Alabama, Brenna Bird of Iowa, Tim Griffin of Arkansas, Kris Kobach of Kansas, Chris Carr of Georgia, Liz Murrill of Louisiana, Raúl Labrador of Idaho, Mike Hilgers of Nebraska, Todd Rokita of Indiana, Dave Yost of Ohio, Alan Wilson of South Carolina, John McCuskey of West Virginia, and Marty Jackley of South Dakota. Their joint comment in support of the citizenship requirement focuses on President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14248, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” “First, the current federal voter registration system fails to achieve the government’s statutory obligations and leaves our voter rolls vulnerable,” the comment says.  “Second, the current framework impedes state election officials from properly ensuring that only eligible U.S. citizens are permitted to register and vote in federal elections,” it continues. “And third, President Trump’s EO 14248 is consistent with federal law. Accordingly, the proposed rule seeks to enhance the integrity of the voter registration process and ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens are permitted to register and vote in our federal elections.” Most states have their own voter registration forms. The federal form is most commonly used at Department of Motor Vehicle locations for people to register to vote when getting a driver’s license. The House twice passed a proposal to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, but the Senate did not take up the measure.  By contrast, the Democrats claim the requirement would violate the National Voter Registration Act that limits the content of the federal form to address only what is “necessary” for state election officials to determine the eligibility of prospective voters. Further, Democrats claim in their comment letter that proof of citizenship adds “substantial burdens on state and local election infrastructure” and would create “disenfranchisement of significant numbers of eligible voters.” “I’ve said repeatedly that voting is the fundamental right from which all other rights flow. I believe that at my core, and it’s why I’m proud to oppose yet another effort that would add—rather than remove—barriers to voter registration,” Bonta said in a public statement Friday. Joining Bonta are Democrat Attorneys General Phillip Weiser of Colorado, William Tong of Connecticut, Kathleen Jennings of Delaware, Anne Lopez of Hawaii, Kwame Raoul of Illinois, Aaron Frey of Maine, Anthony Brown of Maryland, Andrea Joy Campbell of Massachusetts, Dana Nessel of Michigan, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Matthew Platkin of New Jersey, Raul Torrez of New Mexico, Letitia James of New York, Dan Rayfield of Oregon, Peter Neronha of Rhode Island, Charity Clark of Vermont, Nicholas Brown of Washington state, and Joshua Kaul of Wisconsin.  “Despite claims to the contrary, our elections are secure: Voting by noncitizens is exceedingly rare, and the penalties for noncitizen registration remain serious under both federal and state law,” Bonta said. “My fellow attorneys general and I remain fully committed to protecting voters’ fundamental right to cast a ballot and defending against the relentless attacks on the Right.”  Last month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement apprehended Ian Andre Roberts, a Guyanese national allegedly living illegally in the United States, working as a school superintendent in Iowa. He was also reportedly a registered Democrat voter in Maryland. Maryland officials say there is no record that he has voted. In June, the FBI announced that a Chinese national charged with illegally voting in Michigan in the 2024 election had fled the country.  In March, an Iowa audit found 277 noncitizens were registered to vote in the state and 35 voted in the 2024 election.  Since 2022, Virginia has removed 6,300 noncitizens from its rolls, Alabama removed 3,251 noncitizens, and Ohio removed 597. Since 2021, Texas has removed about 6,500 noncitizens from voter rolls, 1,900 of whom had voting histories. In 2019, Pennsylvania found that more than 11,000 noncitizens were registered to vote.

21 Year-Old Semi Driver Kills at Least 3 in Horrific SoCal Crash

MSNBC host Jen Psaki rolled out the "Mean Girls" routine on the "I've Had It" podcast with two former Bravo reality-TV stars, Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan. It's bad enough for Psaki to mock Vice President JD Vance. But she mocked his wife Usha like she was in a hostage video.  PSAKI: I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else," Psaki said. "I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here. We'll save you. And that he's willing to do anything to get there. And your whole iteration you just outlined, I mean, he's scarier in certain ways, in some ways....And he's young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he's a chameleon who makes himself whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him. It's not a surprise that they'd say Vance is even "scarier" than Trump, because they presume he's smarter -- just as they did with Ron DeSantis. As some remarked on social media, this VP-power-lust critique certainly could have matched Joe Biden (and Jill). They wanted to be president "more than anything else," more than the mental health of their children with substance abuse. As White House press secretary, Psaki would have been expected to trash any journalist who suggested Biden's wife was in a hostage video or under duress.  This echoes a lot of trashy leftist speculation about Melania Trump, who is often painted as trapped in a loveless marriage. The podcast video is captioned: "Usha Vance, please blink twice if you need help." Then there's the added "woman of color" edge to their hostage humor.  Jen Psaki says JD Vance in “scarier” than Donald Trump & suggests his wife Usha wants out of their marriage. “Blink 4 times. Come over here. We’ll save you.”pic.twitter.com/aqgcyhlXZo — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) October 21, 2025 This also comes from the MSNBC sector that slavishly promoted the last vice presidential spouse, Doug Emhoff, even after credible allegations of violence toward an old girlfriend. Days before that allegation broke, Psaki interviewed Emhoff, and teed him up to attack Trump for suggesting Democrats are "bad to Israel" and Jews should "have their head examined" if the vote for Kamala:  "Do you worry that he’s putting a target on the backs of Jewish Americans?" This came just weeks after Trump was targeted and shot in the ear.  It's obvious Psaki is really picking the wrong vice-presidential spouse to paint as troubled. Emhoff admitted to impregnating his nanny, who also served as his daughter’s second grade teacher. Psaki wasn't going to ask about that. The hosts of this trashy podcast -- with 1.3 million subscribers -- opened their Psaki podcast by hailing their audience as comprised of "patriots, gay-triots, they-triots, blacktriots, browntriots" and "the people who don't support them can f--k off!" What a treat of a show.
