Not long after the Florida senator announced this week that he would run for president in 2016‚ the Associated Press targeted his speech for a “fact check.” The AP’s review‚ titled “FACT CHECK: Rubio Rhetoric Breaks With Past‚ but Ideas Don’t‚” scrutinizes some of the Florida senator’s...

The US Supreme Court ordered former President Donald Trump back on the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado on Monday‚ the day before the Centennial State and 14 others pick their Republican nominees for president.

More than 8 million asylum seekers and other migrants will be living inside the U.S in legal limbo by the end of September — a roughly 167% increase in five years‚ according to internal government projections obtained by Axios. Why it matters: That's up from about 3 million in 2019 — a sign of how the underfunded and outdated U.S. immigration system can't keep up with the rapidly growing migrant population driven by new border surges. The backlog has left millions...

Donald Trump was wrongly removed from Colorado’s primary ballot last year‚ the US supreme court has ruled. The court’s significant decision overturns a 4-3 ruling from the Colorado supreme court that said the former president could not run because he had engaged in insurrection during the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The Colorado decision was a novel interpretation of section 3 of the 14th amendment‚ which bars insurrectionists from holding office. Enacted after the...
