LIZ PEEK: Democrats face a socialist reckoning they are too scared to stop
Democrats have a tiger by the tail. Democratic Socialists are bringing money and energy to their party, but also a growing crop of anti-American, anti-capitalist and often antisemitic candidates who scorn our country’s traditions and values. These challengers may ride today’s wave of anti-Trump sentiment, concern about AI and anger about high prices, and win in solidly Democrat areas, like Manhattan, but long term they will become an embarrassment.
Judge pauses Trump administration’s ‘anti-weaponization’ fund
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s effort to establish a fund to reimburse people who claim they were targeted by the “weaponization” of the federal government.

Some Republicans say Trump should close the door on paying out Jan. 6 rioters
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump drew sharp rebukes from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill after he left the door open to taxpayer payouts for rioters who assaulted police officers during the Jan. 6 attack in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” over the weekend.
