It wasn’t a massive uprising‚ but it did lead to police storming into the space and arresting all involved. Some Google employees in California and New York decided to stage an anti-Israel protest in their offices‚ demanding the tech company sever ties with the Jewish state. Their antics disrupted the workplace of the normal employees who were there to do their jobs. It’s not the first time a Google employee has voiced anti-Israel sentiments. That person was later fired. The same thing should...

On the first day of his criminal fraud trial in New York‚ former President Donald Trump requested that the judge not hold court proceedings on May 17 — the day of his youngest son’s high school graduation. The judge did not rule on the request‚ saying he preferred to wait to see how the trial unfolds. But the Trump family and conservative commentators — relying on the former president’s confusing and contradictory remarks about his request — wrongly attacked New York Supreme Court ...

Sen. Bob Menendez may plan to blame his wife for actions that led to a federal bribery case against him‚ a newly unsealed court filing suggests. The senator’s legal team plans to try to show the “absence of any improper intent on Senator Menendez’s part” by “demonstrating the ways” in which his wife‚ Nadine Menendez‚ “withheld information from Sen. Menendez or otherwise led him to believe that nothing unlawful was taking place.” In a mid-March legal filing‚ Menendez’s legal team...

The medical profession is increasingly captured by DEI. My own professional limbo is only a small part of the story. The edifice of diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI)‚ a reasonable-sounding concept that serves as a dog whistle for critical race theory and is premised on the claim that our country is systemically racist‚ is cracking. But the road to the dismantling of this illiberal‚ anti-science‚ racist‚ and now antisemitic ideology promises to be long and hard. There will...

The gender divide in American politics is widening‚ according to an exclusive poll for Newsweek that found men are increasingly embracing a more conservative ideology while women are leaning towards a liberal one. The poll‚ conducted by Redfield &; Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek between March 23 and 24‚ showed that a majority of Americans—57 percent—have changed their political ideology in the past five years‚ with 23 percent of them becoming more...

Two days into his historic criminal trial‚ former President Trump is confronting the same rare feeling that fueled his erratic behavior in the wake of the 2020 election: a loss of control. Why it matters: Trump is quickly learning that Manhattan's criminal courthouse is not like the court of public opinion‚ where he's broken every rule of politics and bulldozed his way to total Republican dominance. Trump's campaign has been marked by choreographed rallies in front of...

Mike Johnson (R-LA) hoped Donald Trump could head off a brewing effort to remove him as House speaker.  But he is learning the limits of the former president’s power in an unruly and divided House where even a single Republican defection could prove fatal to his early speakership. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)‚ who is weighing a motion to oust Johnson‚ appeared unfazed by his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago on Friday‚ where Trump gave the speaker his vote of...

Republican senators‚ whose hopes of winning the Senate majority are riding on former President Trump’s strength as a general election candidate‚ say the hush money trial beginning this week in Manhattan will have little impact on the presidential race. Senate Republicans by and large predict that few votes will change in November even if Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) convicts Trump of some or even many of the 34 felony counts he faces for falsifying business records...

There are two Donald Trump criminal trials now taking place. There’s the one in a Manhattan courtroom‚ where a judge‚ attorneys for both sides and prospective jurors are making strenuous efforts to lay the foundation of the fair trial to which the ex-president and every other citizen is entitled. And there’s the imaginary trial that exists in Trump’s rhetoric‚ led by “heartless thugs” and a “very conflicted judge” who is “rushing the trial” that the presumptive GOP...

China is knowingly funding and fueling the United States’ fentanyl crisis to profit from the deadly opioid epidemic‚ according to a report published Tuesday that details a months-long investigation by the House Select Committee on China. The Chinese Communist Party “directly subsidizes” the manufacture and export of fentanyl materials through tax rebates‚ gives money to companies openly trafficking these materials‚ and tips off drug traffickers when the U.S. government seeks to...
