"Democrats believe that they represent foreigners and illegal aliens."
@RepBrandonGill says Democrats see immigration as a path toward electoral success, arguing a growing noncitizen population can influence congressional apportionment in their favor.
Gill says Democrats are "willing to do anything" they believe could help that political calculus.
"It took about one month to end the Biden border crisis, because for 16 months straight, we have released precisely zero illegal aliens at the American southern border."
VP JD Vance touts the Trump administration's record on immigration and crime during a midterm rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. The White House says the administration has gone 16 months without releasing migrants who crossed the southern border illegally into the U.S.
"We've delivered the largest drop in violent crime in the history of the United States of America. And we've done it for the simple reason that we have stood with our police instead of fighting against them."
President Trump heads into a high-stakes week at the United Nations with Iran, China, and artificial intelligence all colliding at once.
A new Fox News poll finds 71% of registered voters say his administration lacks a clear strategy for ending the Iran war, as Trump weighs whether to launch additional attacks against Tehran.
@JacquiHeinrich reports that at the same time, the U.S. is expected to hold off on announcing new tariffs targeting excess manufacturing capacity until after Trump's Sept. 24 meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a report cited by Reuters. AI, trade, and rare earths are among the issues surrounding the talks.
"Whoever wins AI wins."
President Trump is sounding the alarm about a global AI race as some of the biggest names in tech warn the systems they're building could advance faster than humans can safely control them.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is calling for international coordination to help pace frontier AI development, giving safety and alignment measures more time to keep up as the technology grows more powerful. Trump says some guardrails may be needed, but warns the U.S. cannot afford to lose its edge to China.
Now the pressure is building over how countries can confront the risks together without giving up ground in the AI race.
@AlexandriaHoff has the latest.
"We were asked to testify before Congress... But only one side even cared."
Jessica Gorman says she "snapped" while testifying before Congress about the killing of her 18-year-old daughter, Sheridan, and sanctuary policies because "Democratic representatives couldn't even pretend to care for five minutes."
"It was despicable."
"A fellow angel mom, Patty Fox, recently said, you need to love America, Americans more than you hate Trump... You are so right."
Then, a plea that goes beyond party lines: "We need to love our country and our children enough to come together, regardless of which party or person is in charge."
SHOCKING MOVE: Democratic Sen. John Fetterman makes a surprise video appearance at the GOP midterm convention, declaring he will reject “the extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life.”
The appearance is a stunning turn for the first-term senator who skipped his own party’s convention in 2024 and has since become an increasingly isolated figure among Democrats.
Fetterman has spent months breaking with his party on Israel and some of President Trump’s nominees. Now, as Democrats in Pennsylvania keep their distance from him on the campaign trail, he’s taking his message directly to a Republican convention.
🚨 WOW! 9/11 families are on the steps of NYC city hall DEMANDING Mayor Mamdani stay FAR AWAY from the 25th anniversary ceremony on Friday
"Dude, we DO NOT want you to come," a victim's daughter, who was nine years old when her father was kiIIed, said
"It is today that he stands with people like Hassan Piker. It is today that he hires people like Ramzi Kassem. It is today that he stands with an imam that was a CO-CONSPIRATOR of the '93 bombing. THAT is what we object to."
🚨 Lindsay Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington just went on Good Morning America and asked for President Trump to PARDON HER
Oh HELL no. Not happening! 🤣
“Psychotic break seems to be the new excuse for murder.”
@NancyGrace weighs in on the Lindsay Clancy case with @seanhannity, arguing there will be a retrial after the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Grace also dismisses talk of a potential presidential pardon: “That is not going to happen.”
NEW: President Trump puts a spotlight on the Christopher Columbus statue he placed just steps from the White House:
"I did this in Honor of the Italian American Community."
Trump praises Italian Americans as "Industrious, brilliant, wonderful people," adding that the tribute is something "they have greatly appreciated."
The 13-foot, one-ton replica was installed outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in March as part of the America250 celebrations.
It was rebuilt in part from salvaged pieces after the original Baltimore monument was toppled and thrown into the Inner Harbor during protests in 2020.
"Mamdani, do us all a favor and just stay home!"
Catholic League President Bill Donohue unloads on Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his past remarks about 9/11, calling him a "disgrace to veterans" and telling him to stay away from the upcoming 25th anniversary memorial ceremony.
Donohue joins families of 9/11 victims to call for Mamdani to skip Friday's memorial ceremony.
EXCLUSIVE: New Jersey’s Democratic governor is facing heat over her immigration policies after an illegal immigrant fleeing a targeted ICE operation crashed into multiple vehicles, injuring the wife of a Democratic mayor.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill has backed the state’s sanctuary-style protections for illegal immigrants.
The mayor’s wife was among several people hurt when the driver barreled through an intersection, striking multiple cars before coming to a stop.
