President Biden warned in his farewell speech of an ‘ultra-wealthy’ ‘oligarchy’ posing a threat to America as big tech CEOS have been warming up to President-elect Trump in recent months. Biden spoke Wednesday as reports emerged this week that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg – the three most wealthy people in the world who collectively are worth more than $850 billion, according to Forbes – will be seated next to Trump’s cabinet picks...

The field of contenders to become the next Democratic National Committee chair has narrowed after a long-shot candidate dropped out and endorsed Ken Martin, Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party chair. Martin, a DNC vice chair who has led the association of state Democratic Party chairs, has been considered a frontrunner for the DNC job. Martin received a boost after New York state Sen.

House Judiciary Democrats penned a letter Wednesday asking outgoing U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to drop the charges against President-elect Donald Trump’s former co-defendants in the classified documents case. They want Trump’s valet Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, to walk from the charges so that Garland can release the second volume, which is related to the classified documents case, of Special Counsel Jack...
As a fellow New Yorker, I had paid attention to Donald Trump for years, long before he got involved in politics. When he ventured a comment about foreign policy, people scoffed at him. What did Trump know! National security was the exclusive domain of the experts, not real estate developers or reality TV stars. But looking back, Trump was right about all the major foreign policy issues. It was the credentialed elites who got...
Even before he takes the oath of office next week, Donald Trump has already accomplished the most incredible comeback in American political history. In the space of four years, he’s gone from being universally banned by Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Spotify, Snapchat, Instagram, Shopify, Reddit, Twitch, TikTok and Pinterest to most of these companies donating to his inaugural celebration and their CEOs clamoring for invites to dinner at Mar-a-Lago with him. Trump’s 2024 election, I predict, will still be written about as an epochal event in American history long after everyone reading this today is long gone.But that’s for future historians to decide. For the present, Trump’s done something even more remarkable than...
Rep. Pete Aguilar, a top Democrat who served on the congressional committee investigating President-elect Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election, isn’t expecting any favors from the outgoing commander-in-chief. He said he thinks a preemptive pardon from President Joe Biden, protecting him from Trump’s potential retaliation, is unnecessary because the Jan. 6 committee ‘didn’t do anything wrong.’ ‘I don’t think a pardon is necessary. I stand by the work that we did,’ on...
Trump’s UN ambassador pick Elise Stefanik could save taxpayers millions if taps Musk-Ramaswamy ‘DOGE’
2 days ago14 min
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-NY., will soon appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to seek confirmation for her role in President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Several former diplomats who spoke to Fox News Digital say that an immediate concern for an incoming U.N. ambassador should be reigning in U.S. expenditures at the world body. Outflows to the organization grew from $11.6 billion in 2020 to $18.1 billion in...
Trump AG pick Pam Bondi would ‘make America safe again’ with ‘back to basics’ DOJ approach: former colleague
2 days ago13 min
Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker, who worked hand-in-hand with Trump’s pick for attorney general, said Pam Bondi is a ‘woman of integrity’ who, if confirmed, would prosecute fairly and stick to the U.S. Constitution. Parker told Fox News Digital that she worked with Bondi after the February 2018 Stoneman Douglas massacre in Parkland, Florida, which stole the lives of 17 students. She noted that Bondi’s ‘tender heart’ and boots-on-the-ground attitude assisted the community during...

Leaders in the U.S. and around the world commended the recent Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal on Wednesday. Biden announced the terms of the cease-fire during a news conference Wednesday at the White House. It will consist of two phases and will take place over the next several weeks.
