In a CNN segment, children were asked to give their raw thoughts on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump—and let’s just say, the results were brutal. One child didn’t hold back, calling Harris a “liar,” while another didn’t hesitate to label Trump as “pure evil.” Things only got more candid when a young boy said Harris might be “more selfish,” blaming it on girls being “dramatic.” Meanwhile, another child praised Trump for his supposed dedication to the country, claiming he had “given his life and heart.” CNN: What’s the first word that pops into you head when you hear the name…

In a groundbreaking decision on Thursday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court officially threw out the Articles of Impeachment against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. The ruling is a significant legal victory for Krasner, marking the end of a two-year-long political and legal battle over his role as DA. Back in December 2022, the Commonwealth Court had already deemed the impeachment Articles unconstitutional, ruling that they failed to prove Krasner had engaged in “misbehavior in office”—a standard required by Pennsylvania’s Constitution. The court found that the charges were largely based on policy disagreements rather than any criminal misconduct. Lawmakers, mostly from outside…
NEWARK, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has officially weighed in on the escalating labor tensions between dockworkers and shipping operators, taking a strong pro-labor stance just days before a possible strike that could cripple East Coast and Gulf ports. Murphy didn’t mince words when he expressed his disagreement with a statement released by the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), which he believes contradicts the longshoremen’s claims of trying to negotiate in good faith. While Murphy made it clear that he’s standing with the workers, supporting both unions and fair negotiations, he didn’t offer any groundbreaking solutions to prevent…
It sounds like a real-life game of hide and seek, but with way higher stakes! The House Judiciary Committee is on a serious hunt for former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade, and it’s not going too smoothly. After issuing a subpoena on Friday, things took a turn for the frustrating when Wade’s lawyer declined to accept it on his behalf, and Wade himself seemingly ghosted their email attempts.

If you thought getting dinner reservations in NYC was hard, imagine trying to source giant wind turbine blades! That’s the dilemma currently unfolding in New Jersey’s ambitious offshore wind energy project. Governor Phil Murphy has big dreams of transforming New Jersey into a clean energy powerhouse, but the latest hiccup in the plan involves something pretty crucial: no one can seem to find the blades! Yup, that’s right—turbine blades. These things are basically the arms that make wind turbines spin, generating the electricity that will (hopefully) power up to a million homes. But now, a leading developer, Leading Light Wind,…
