The poorest households in Tuesday’s electorate and the richest voted the same way. Families earning under $30,000 went Democratic by 59 to 39, and families earning over $300,000 went Democratic by 61 to 39. Between those two brackets lies everything politics is supposed to be about, and the poll...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) won’t be the lone Senate Democrat defending the filibuster next year. Adam Hamilton, the megachurch pastor elected in Kansas on Tuesday, would vote to keep the 60-vote threshold intact, while former Gov. Roy Cooper, the senator-elect in North Carolina, hasn’t been...

Mexican cartels that the Trump administration has designated as foreign terrorist organizations are likely to use Democrats‘ widespread wins in the midterm elections as a way to lure migrants into paying to get into the United States, according to federal law enforcement. The blue wave seen...

$2.5 billion. That’s the amount of money wagered on the results of the 2026 midterm elections through Kalshi, a prediction market that lets anyone bet on the outcome of just about anything. It truly is a brand new world we live in. Even the most inconsequential moments in sporting events can...

One of the most popular and beloved characters in children’s literature, Winnie-the-Pooh, recently became a centenarian. Created by the brilliant English writer A.A. Milne, the self-described “bear of very little brain” who carried a “hunny” pot and had great adventures with friends including...

On Oct. 27, voters across Israel went to the polls in a pivotal parliamentary election that culminated in severe electoral gridlock. The governing coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secured 53 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, falling short of the 61-seat majority required to form a...

Many congressional races remain uncalled, but it is clear that Democrats will end up with solid majorities in both chambers. To the victors go the spoils, and chief among them are committee chairmanships in the House of Representatives and Senate. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is expected to become...

Conservatives get smeared as anti-immigrant, but the truth is simple: They want people who come here legally, respect the process, and actually want to become Americans. Miguel Rojas is exactly that immigrant. BlazeTV host Pat Gray played a clip of the newly retired Dodgers infielder and...

Democrats gained strong control of both the House and the Senate in the Nov. 3 midterm elections and are expected to target President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda in some form. How effective these efforts to curb the broad-based, price-hiking tariff program can be is an open question...

I work for the military in a small building in the middle of nowhere with roughly eight other guys for 12 hours a day. The building I work in allows no outside electronics inside. There are no phones, no Spotify, no doomscrolling. All we have to pass the time between work is to play cards and to...

“At last,” Socrates asks in Plato’s Republic, “the tyrannical man is left for us to consider, his change from the democratic man, his character after the change is accomplished, and his mode of life, whether miserable or blessed?” At last, yes. The midterm election results for the historical...

I’m interested in understanding compulsory military service, an experience so very different from my own, so I recently spoke with former Army Sgt. Cliff Cahoon, who was drafted during the Vietnam War. The conversation has given me much to contemplate. Cliff graduated from Ingraham High School...

Going to school is a very different experience now than it was when I was an undergraduate. I was an English major in the late 1980s, and I mostly sat in cozy seminar rooms with other bookish nerds and paged through English Critical Texts and nodded along to Philip Sidney’s Defence of Poesy. Now...

When the Democrats last controlled Texas in 1994, the party supported strict immigration enforcement, generous tax breaks for oil and gas investments, and the state led the nation in capital punishment. More than 30 years later, the Democratic Party of Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa is far to the left...

Opponents of gender ideology have achieved a series of wins over the past year securing youth gender-medicine bans and safeguarding girls’ sports that codify such protections and legally recognize states’ authority to enforce their own transgender regulations. The movement picked up major...

Drinking two to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily was linked to a dramatically lower risk of dementia and better cognitive functioning in a study spanning up to 43 years. The benefits appeared regardless of genetic risk, but decaffeinated coffee did not show the same association. Continue...

Humans collectively produce more than 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide annually just by turning food into energy, a 74% increase over three decades largely driven by population growth. Unlike fossil fuel emissions, however, the CO2 we exhale is part of the natural carbon cycle, and scientists...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that Europe was dominated for more than 20 million years by open woodlands, colorful meadows, and large grazing animals, not the dense forests long considered its natural state. The surprising discovery challenges modern reforestation strategies, suggesting...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has already uncovered two previously unknown companions of the Milky Way using preliminary observations covering just 7% of the night sky. The discoveries include an extremely faint galaxy 355,000 light-years away and a star cluster hidden behind cosmic dust...

A surprising discovery reveals how psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, rapidly reshapes the brain by creating new neural connections and strengthening them. Researchers found that the drug behaves differently in healthy and chronically stressed mice, potentially helping repair...
