If fully utilized, many experts say, it could significantly curb the flow of undocumented immigrants by effectively removing one of the biggest reasons so many come to the United States illegally to begin with — getting a job.Yet even though…

Donald Trump sat down with Joe Rogan to record a three-hour interview for “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Friday. The episode was released later Friday evening. In the wide-ranging discussion, Trump said his biggest mistake during his time in the White House was hiring “bad people, or disloyal people.” The former president also repeated unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” — but when Rogan asked him if he was going to release evidence proving the election was “stolen,” Trump changed the subject. Rogan asked Trump whether the ex-president had made “bad choices” in appointing White House officials. Trump,…

A not-so-subtle theme has emerged in recent Republican attack ads in battleground California congressional races: linking Democrats to pedophiles. Take, for instance, the 30-second spot from the National Republican Congressional Committee attacking Democrat George Whitesides, the former NASA chief of staff who is challenging GOP Rep. Mike Garcia in the Antelope Valley in one of the nation’s most hotly contested races. Melancholy piano music plays over images of an upturned bicycle and a set of empty playground swings. The camera cuts to a computer tablet displaying a messaging app. “I’m literally the next block over. Come chill!” writes a user…
