WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene caused a stir on Saturday when she announced her plans to resign effective January 5. Now, with Republicans struggling to hold on to a barely-there majority, the question is: what will happen to her seat? A special is slated to happen sometime in February or March. And with just 219 seats, Republicans can’t afford to lose it. There are currently three vacancies in the House: two seats left open by Democrats, one by a Republican, and Greene will with be the fourth when she resigns. The seven-seat margin means Republicans can afford no more than three defections on measures they want to pass without Democrats. Greene, who rose to prominence as one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal allies, announced her resignation amid a very public fallout with the president over his resistance to releasing information related to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a video announcement posted on Nov. 21, Greene outlined the reasoning behind her decision and addressed her decision to support releasing the Epstein files. “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” Greene said. Greene also pointed to other frustrations, saying she believes Americans are being “used” by the “political industrial complex” on both sides to “elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.” This week, Greene confirmed she is not running for president, or joining “The View,” as many people online have speculated in recent days since her announcement. Paulding County Republican Party Executive Committee Chairman Richard J. Hess told The Daily Wire there will be a special election to fill Greene’s unexpired term for 2025. The timeline, however, is a little tricky. Hess said the special election to replace the conservative firebrand will likely fall “somewhere between mid-February and March, but ultimately that decision is up to the governor.” Once Greene resigns, the governor will have 10 days to issue the call for a special election, formally known as a “a writ of election,” according to the Secretary of State’s office website.

A spokesman for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told The Daily Wire that once this happens, a special election must be at least 29 days from the call being issued. Hess said their hope is that the special election “doesn’t interfere with the primary or the qualification period, because we’re looking at very tight timelines.” Hess explained that there will be a special election and “potentially” a runoff election, followed by the regular primary cycle for the seat. Greene’s seat is up for election in November 2026, meaning the winner of this special election would have to run again if they want to retain the seat. The general primary for the 2026 election is scheduled for May 19 with a potential runoff June 16, according to the Federal Election Commission’s website. Georgia is one of the seven states that requires a runoff election if none of the candidates receive a majority of the vote (50%+1), according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. This means the process could take longer if a runoff election is required, depending on how many candidates enter the race and the election results. “It’s going to be a very hectic, fast-paced period, and we’re just hoping the transition moves as smoothly as possible,” Hess said. Georgia’s 14th Congressional District is a solidly Republican district in the state’s northwest corner. In the 2024 race, Greene reportedly secured around 64% of the vote, compared to 35% for her Democratic challenger, Shawn Harris.

Democratic Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser will not run for a fourth term after overseeing the nation’s capital for over a decade, the Washington Post first reported Tuesday afternoon. Bowser, 53, told the outlet the previous night she determined it was time to step aside, saying, “we’ve accomplished what we set out to accomplish,” in […]

News Assassin’s Creed Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed Series Snags Eden Actor Toby Wallace in Leading Role What that role is, exactly, remains to be seen. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 25, 2025 Photo: Bryan Berlin via Wikimedia Commons/Ubisoft Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Bryan Berlin via Wikimedia Commons/Ubisoft The Assassin’s Creed live-action television series is moving ahead at Netflix, five years after the company signed a deal with video game company Ubisoft. Today the streamer announced that Toby Wallace is the first actor officially attached to the project. Wallace, whose credits include the movies Eden and The Bikeriders, as well as The Society and the upcoming season of Euphoria, is set to be a series regular and will apparently be a co-lead on the show. Who, exactly, Wallace is playing is unknown. Deadline reports that the leads will be characters “said to be different from the games,” and that we’ll follow them “across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.” The series is based on the popular video game franchise. In it, two factions—the Order of Assassins and the Templars (yes, those Templars)—are in an eons-long struggle to control humanity. The Assassins want to keep free will, while the Templars want to control and manipulate humankind’s future. In our near future, people with Assassin ancestry (which is a thing, I guess), with the help of technology, are able to relive their genetic ancestors’ lives in a simulation called the Animus. Doing so will help them win this war, in part because it helps them gather what are called “pieces of Eden,” technology from beings that used to live on Earth before they were completely wiped out by a solar flare. Gathering these artifacts allows the Assassins to gather info on the Templars, counter their plans, and protect their secrets. And so on. But back to Wallace: given he’s a co-lead, odds are good he’ll either be playing an assassin in the near future who relives his ancestors’ memories, or he’s one of the ancestors in another time period. Or perhaps he’s the antagonist and a member of the Templars. Who knows! What we do know is that production on the series is set to start in Italy in 2026, and that location serves as the setting for the first season. The show is also led by Roberto Patino and David Wiener, with Patino working on Westworld and DMZ, and Wiener showrunning the second season of Paramount+’s Halo. No news yet on when the Assassin’s Creed show will make its way to Netflix.

REUTERS—The FBI has requested interviews with six Democrat members of the U.S. Congress who in a video message told members of the military they can legally refuse to carry out unlawful orders, a Justice Department official told Reuters on Tuesday. The move comes a day after the Pentagon threatened to recall Sen. Mark Kelly, a Navy veteran and one of the six lawmakers, to active duty potentially to face military charges over what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth described on social media as “seditious” acts. President Donald Trump, who critics have said has sought to harness the power of the government to try to stifle dissent, accused the six Democrats of sedition and said in a social media post that the crime is punishable by death. “THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE!” Trump said in a Saturday Truth Social post. “IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!” The Justice Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the FBI interviews with the lawmakers were to determine “if there’s any wrongdoing, and then go from there.” The FBI is headed by Trump appointee Kash Patel. >>> Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Who Told Military Not to Obey ‘Illegal’ Orders Are ‘Not Being Honest’ In statements on Tuesday, the Democrats described the FBI move as an effort by the Trump administration to intimidate them into silence. “The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place,” Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA officer and one of the six Democrats, said on X. “This is not the America I know, and I’m not going to let this next step from the FBI stop me from speaking up for my country, and our Constitution.” We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.Don’t give up the ship. pic.twitter.com/N8lW0EpQ7r— Sen. Elissa Slotkin (@SenatorSlotkin) November 18, 2025 The lawmakers have said their video statements accurately reflected U.S. law. American troops swear an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not the president, and under military rules must follow “any lawful general order or regulation.” The other Democrats who appeared in the video released last week include U.S. Reps. Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan, all military veterans. The four House Democrats in a joint statement accused Trump of using the FBI as a tool to intimidate members of Congress and vowed that they would not be silenced. Kelly did not respond toa request for comment on Tuesday. The video did not refer to any specific illegal order, but many Democrats have expressed concerns— echoed privately by some U.S. military commanders—that the Trump administration is violating the law by ordering strikes on vessels purportedly carrying suspected drug traffickers in Latin American waters. The Pentagon has called the strikes justified because drug smugglers are considered terrorists. Democrats have also questioned the legality of Trump’s use of military forces in American cities. After urging members of the military to refuse “illegal orders” from the Trump administration, Slotkin said earlier this week she is not aware of any such orders. “Do you believe President [Donald] Trump has issued any illegal orders?” ABC’s Martha Raddatz asked her. “To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal—but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela,” Slotkin said. The probe was reported earlier by Fox News. There is no charge of sedition under U.S. law for civilians, though the charge of “seditious conspiracy” carries a maximum penalty of 20 years. Several leaders of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol were convicted of that crime before Trump pardoned them. For troops, the Uniform Code of Military Justice includes a section on sedition, with possible penalties including death.

Liberal legacy media’s attempt to use the Jeffrey Epstein files to inflict political “death-by-innuendo” on President Donald Trump will backfire and hurt the very Democrats they’re trying to help, commentator and Author Joe Concha says. If there was a “smoking gun” connecting Trump to the Epstein sex scandal in the files, which President Trump recently released, the media would’ve had it within five seconds – because Democrats would’ve leaked it to them during the Biden administration, Concha explained Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Life, Liberty and Levin”: "If there was a smoking gun against Donald Trump regarding Epstein, who out there, there isn't a person on the planet that does not believe that either the Obama administration or the Biden administration, when they had full power of the Congress and Senate and the White House, if there was something on Trump and Trump runs for president three times, you don't think that during any of those campaigns against Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden or Kamala Harris that they wouldn't have leaked that to the press in about five seconds? “Of course they would have.” “So, in the end, this is all political death-by-innuendo,” because the Democrat-mouthpiece media have no facts they can use against Trump, Concha told Host Mark Levin: “That’s what we see in the media coverage and from Democrats trying to imply that Donald Trump did something wrong here. They simply don’t have anything.” What’s more, the media’s scrutiny of the Epstein files will actually backfire on Democrats, beginning with U.S. Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI), Concha predicted: “And I think, in the end Mark, there’s going to be a boomerang effect, we’re already seeing it, with Democrats that were involved with Jeffrey Epstein – with one literally texting Epstein, a known, convicted sex offender at the time in 2019 – Stacey Plaskett texting him at the time just to try to get dirt on Donald Trump during a Congressional hearing does not look good for them at all.”  

Back on November 16, HBO’s John Oliver used his Last Week Tonight program to combine two liberal favorites: late night comedy shows and public broadcasting when he announced he was holding an auction to benefit public broadcasting because otherwise “people would die” as a result of it being defunded. The auction closed on Monday night and, according to Variety, brought in a total of roughly $1.54 million for the Public Media Bridge Fund. Oliver had hyped the event as the “first-ever auction in aid of public media… to raise some much-needed money.” In the end, most of the money raised came from a 1986 Bob Ross painting from PBS’s The Joy of Painting that brought in $1,044,000, which is a record for a Ross painting.     Other items included actor Russell Crowe’s jockstrap from Cinderella Man that sold for $21,000, Oliver’s on-screen cabbage wife that went for $11,111, a $25,500 gold-plated sculpture supposedly based on President Lyndon B. Johnson’s male parts, and a $6,000 wax statue of President Bill Clinton. On the more personal side, someone paid $100,025 to have their photo appear onscreen during a future episode of Last Week Tonight, a chance to meet Oliver in person went for $51,600, and a signed case of Oliver’s SauvignJohn wine sold for $13,025. The fact that people are willing to pay over $11,000 for a three-year-old vegetable in order to fund public broadcasting, ironically, just confirms what conservatives have said all along. If liberals love public media so much, then they can fund it themselves.

The days of "The Wire," "The Sopranos," "Boardwalk Empire," "Breaking Bad," and "Better Call Saul" are gone. And they're never coming back.Instead of quality TV, we get a stream of shallow muck that insults our intelligence and wastes our time. Seth Rogen peddling the same stale stoner humor for the thousandth time. Pedro Pascal starring in a dystopian video-game adaptation so obsessed with gay "representation" that it might as well list Grindr as a co-producer.Sheridan shows a country held together by early mornings, long shifts, and people who take pride in work most citizens rarely notice.Then, just as you’re about to suffocate in the hothouse atmosphere of algorithm-driven fake-prestige TV, one show comes stomping in with a pair of steel-toed boots and kicks the door off its hinges. Fresh air floods the place — enough that something real might actually grow again. That show is "Landman."Drill, baby, drillForget "shame"; it's time to drill, baby, drill. Taylor Sheridan's hit is back for season 2, with the TV auteur once again proving that he is one of the few people in Hollywood who actually understands the America he is depicting. Many viewers know him from "Yellowstone," the rare modern hit that refused to treat ranchers the way Hollywood treats anyone who still works with their hands. Where executive elites see deplorables, he sees Americans with stories worth telling.Sheridan brings that same respect to "Landman." He writes ordinary Americans with dignity rather than derision. He shows them as they are: hardworking, flawed, loyal, funny, and strong enough to carry a story on their backs. "Landman" is no cheap cousin of "Yellowstone." It stands tall: lean, mean, focused, and built with the same skill that made Sheridan’s early work impossible to ignore.The show moves effortlessly between blue-collar reality and white-collar brutality, revealing the canyon between those who pull the oil from the ground and those who profit from it. There’s a real honesty to that contrast. Sheridan knows this world, and it shows. You feel it in every shot of the Permian Basin. You hear it in the blunt, believable way his characters speak.Billy Bob at his bestAnd then there’s Billy Bob Thornton. One of America’s finest actors, doing his best work since he stole "Fargo" as a soft-spoken psychopath who could change the temperature of a room with a single line. As Tommy Norris, a ruthless oilman, he brings back that same menace, just a little more restrained. He’s the perfect Sheridan creation: bruised, stubborn, quick to size people up, and capable of cruelty when pushed.Season 1 worked best when it put Norris at the center and let everything else orbit around him. The very first scene of the very first episode sets the tone. Norris, blindfolded in a room with a cartel heavy, cracks a dry line about how they both traffic in addictive products. His just happens to make more money. It’s a joke with teeth. Sheridan doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of the oil world, the places where danger, deceit, and obscene wealth share the same bed.Norris once ran his own outfit. Now he’s a fixer for M-Tex Oil, answering to Monty Miller, a billionaire played by Jon Hamm of "Mad Men" fame. Hamm leans into one of the last great “man’s man” roles on TV. He moves through marble corridors and executive suites with the relaxed confidence of a man who has never had to fight for a parking space or a paycheck. Norris gets the other Texas. The asylum-adjacent McMansion he shares with co-workers. The long, unforgiving drives that eat up whole days. And the late-night waffle joints where truckers, rig hands, and the down-and-outs swallow bad coffee and brood over worse decisions.Recognizably realSheridan shows a country held together by early mornings, long shifts, and people who take pride in work most citizens rarely notice. He zooms in on communities where faith still shapes daily life, where people curse when they have to, where men bow their heads before a meal and chew tobacco like there’s no tomorrow.For conservatives, and especially for Christians who are tired of being reduced to stereotypes, "Landman" feels recognizably real. Season 1 had its flaws, including a few moments that leaned too hard into climate panic, but it never lost sight of what matters: good storytelling built on real characters and real consequences.RELATED: 'Yellowstone' actor Forrie J. Smith on why America needs to rediscover its cowboy culture Blaze MediaMen at workAnd yes, the progressive pearl-clutchers will claim "Landman" has a “woman problem,” the same complaint they threw at "Yellowstone." They insist that Sheridan sidelines women or turns them into cardboard cutouts.The truth is far less dramatic. Both ranching and the oil fields are worlds dominated by men, and Sheridan writes them as they actually are, not as activists wish them to be. That’s not misogyny, but an accurate reflection of the reality millions of Americans live every day. Sure, some female characters could use more lines, but that hardly damages the show. It simply acknowledges that in these worlds, the danger, the decisions, and the dirty work fall mostly on men."Landman" also has something most modern shows forget: a genuine sense of place. Not the packaged Americana you see on postcards, but the West Texas that actually exists, where the heat melts your mind and vacation time is something you hear about, not something you get.Season 2 promises to go deeper — underground for the oil and under the skin of the people who pull it out. More tension between the barons and the boys in the mud. More of Thornton’s world-weary wit. And more of what Sheridan does better than anyone around: crafting TV that wouldn’t look out of place beside the giants of the late 1990s and early 2000s.If "Yellowstone" was Sheridan’s hymn to the American ranch, "Landman" is his sermon on the American worker. In an age of narrative nothingness, something on TV finally feels worth watching.

The Biden administration expanded so-called lawful pathways, allowing millions of foreign nationals to flood into the United States. One of those pathways included the controversial use of Temporary Protected Status.TPS was created to provide a deportation shield to foreign nationals in the U.S. based on temporarily unstable conditions in their home countries.'This decision restores TPS to its original status as temporary.'Since retaking office in January, President Donald Trump has moved to roll back TPS, which was provided to numerous countries under the prior administration. Trump's Department of Homeland Security announced on Monday the termination of TPS for Burma, effective January 26. "At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, is required to review the conditions in a country designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions supporting the designation continue to be met, and, if so, how long to extend the designation," U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services stated. "If the Secretary determines that the conditions in the foreign state continue to meet the specific statutory criteria for Temporary Protected Status designation, Temporary Protected Status will be extended for an additional period of 6 months or, in the Secretary's discretion, 12 or 18 months," USCIS continued. "If the Secretary determines that the foreign state no longer meets the conditions for Temporary Protected Status designation, the Secretary must terminate the designation."Burma was designated for TPS in May 2021, citing the Burmese military's involvement in "a coup" that "depos[ed] the democratically elected government and declar[ed] a temporary one-year state of emergency," which paused elections.RELATED: Noem prepares to deport 500,000 immigrants from one long-troubled island Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images"The military is responding with increasing oppression and violence to demonstrations and protests, resulting in large-scale human rights abuses, including arbitrary detentions and deadly force against unarmed individuals," the Biden administration claimed at the time.DHS Secretary Kristi Noem concluded that the situation in Burma has improved and that its citizens are safe to return home."This decision restores TPS to its original status as temporary," Noem declared. "Burma has made notable progress in governance and stability, including the end of its state of emergency, plans for free and fair elections, successful ceasefire agreements, and improved local governance contributing to enhanced public service delivery and national reconciliation."Noem also concluded that allowing Burmese nationals to remain in the country would be "contrary to the national interest of the United States."RELATED: Trump admin revokes protected status extension for Venezuelan nationals Photo by Pat Greenhouse/The Boston Globe via Getty ImagesRep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) called the move "cruel," claiming that revoking TPS would endanger lives."Ending TPS for Burma, in the middle of the conflict there, endangers the lives of many Burmese, including human rights and democracy activists. It's cruel and will undermine the fight for democracy in Burma. The admin must reconsider this terrible decision," Meeks said.There are nearly 4,000 approved TPS beneficiaries from Burma, according to DHS. Over 200 individuals reportedly have pending applications.TPS is set to expire for several other nations, including Ethiopia in December, South Sudan in January, and Haiti in February.Like Blaze News?

As the debate over immigration continues, the New York Times tried to put a sympathetic light on an illegal alien who committed identity theft and instead radicalized many on the right.The article contrasts the lives of Romeo Perez-Bravo from Guatemala and Dan Kluver, the man whose identification records were stolen to secure employment for Perez-Bravo in the Midwest.'The disgusting New York Times writes this story ... as if they are BOTH victims.' Kluver was forced to pay thousands of dollars to resolve the tax debts that had been racked up by Perez-Bravo under his credentials.The Times portrays the identify theft as an unfortunate feature of the employment system and frames it as a "survival tactic" of illegal immigrants.His case was one version of a problem that's been spreading across the country for years. The government estimates that as many as one million undocumented workers are using fraudulent or stolen Social Security numbers — a survival tactic used to pass background checks and get jobs. The numbers are skimmed from data breaches, sold in black markets online for as little as $150, or handed out in border towns by human smugglers. Many numbers connect back to US citizen children, dead people, or Puerto Ricans whose numbers circulate easily across the mainland.The article was immediately assailed by many online, and the Department of Homeland Security responded by setting the record straight about the extent of the criminal convictions against Perez-Bravo."The violent criminal illegal alien who stole Daniel Kulver’s identity is Guatemalan National Romeo Perez Bravo," replied DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin.She added that he had a rap sheet including convictions for terroristic threats and assault and four convictions for driving under the influence."He reentered the U.S. a third time after being removed, which is a felony," she added. "Behind every stolen Social Security number is a real American: mothers, fathers, students, and workers facing devastating financial, personal and legal fallout."He was also involved in a traffic accident that resulted in the death of a 68-year-old grandfather, according to the Times.The Times, meanwhile, is getting decimated."An illegal alien was using the stolen identity of an American citizen — and the disgusting New York Times writes this story ... as if they are BOTH victims," replied political consultant Steve Cortes."This is just a completely infuriating story," responded Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams (R). "When you see Democrats fight back against mass deportations to the extent they have, think about men like Daniel Kluver, who have had their shot at the American Dream turned upside down because of the left's desire to protect illegals over Americans."RELATED: NYT hit with backlash over op-ed calling for radical gov't change so the left can compete "One selfish man destroyed another man's life, killed a grandpa, and sent a young girl to the hospital. It's incredible to see how hard you strain to varnish over this ugly story," read another response."The worst part of this article is how the @nytimes tries to paint a sympathetic story about the illegal alien. He was involved in a fatal crash and handed over the identity of the American whose name he’d stolen. The actual victim of the ID theft ended up getting sued for it," replied the account for the Project for Immigration Reform.Like Blaze News?

As the AI arms race continues at breakneck pace, the United States is stepping up its game to stay on the cutting edge of information technology. To that end, the Trump administration is launching a new initiative: the Genesis Mission. On Monday, the White House announced the creation of the Genesis Mission under the purview of the Department of Energy. 'The Genesis Mission marks a defining moment for the next era of American science.'The Genesis Mission is described as a "national effort to accelerate the application of AI for transformative scientific discovery focused on pressing challenges."RELATED: Trump’s AI plan prioritizes innovation over regulation Photo by Win McNamee/Getty ImagesMore concretely, the Department of Energy has been ordered to "build an integrated AI platform to harness federal scientific datasets."In its announcement on X, the Department of Energy said the Genesis Mission will be "reminiscent of the Manhattan Project and Apollo programs."In the promotional video, the DOE suggested that this initiative is not unlike what visionaries such as G.W. Liebniz, Claude Shannon, and Alan Turing could have only dreamed of in their scientific endeavors to understand the world. Dr. Dario Gil, undersecretary for science and Genesis Mission director, said in a press release: "The Genesis Mission marks a defining moment for the next era of American science. We are linking the nation's most advanced facilities, data, and computing into one closed-loop system to create a scientific instrument for the ages, an engine for discovery that doubles R&D productivity and solves challenges once thought impossible."Energy Secretary Chris Wright explained the scope and goal of the project: "This Genesis Mission is going to bring together industry, the national labs, data sets all tied together in a closed-loop system to just rapidly advance the pace of scientific and engineering progress.""It will be transformative," Wright added. This announcement comes just months after the Trump administration's AI Action Plan, a comprehensive plan to win the global AI race. Like Blaze News?
