The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is once again reaping the rewards of its own woke rulebook, as a top panel just recommended nullifying the election that handed radical anti-gun activist-turned-party operative David Hogg a vice-chair seat. Why? Because the vote may not have been “fair” to women.

You can’t make this up.

At the heart of the mess is a challenge from Oklahoma Democratic Committeewoman Kalyn Free, who lost out to Hogg and Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta in February’s vote. Free claims the DNC’s push for “gender balance”—a staple of the left’s DEI orthodoxy—was violated when the vote was streamlined to save time. In the rush to wrap up a marathon voting session, the party opted to vote for two vice-chairs at once instead of holding separate votes. That maneuver, Free argues, gave the two remaining male candidates—Hogg and Kenyatta—an unfair advantage.

Ironically, it was the party’s own rigid gender-quota rules that supposedly required electing at least one man to maintain equity. But now, in a stunning turn of events, the DEI Frankenstein the Democrats created has come to devour its creators.

The DNC Credentials Committee agreed Monday evening that the vote was, in their words, “incomplete.” Their recommendation? Throw the whole thing out and do it over, meaning Hogg and Kenyatta may soon be booted from their positions.

The vote isn’t final until the full DNC weighs in, but the signal is clear: the Democratic Party is eating itself alive in an identity-politics-driven meltdown.

Naturally, the fallout is already brewing into a civil war. Hogg, never one to miss a moment for martyrdom, said the dispute “looms large” over his efforts to “reform the party,” casting himself as a victim of the DNC’s refusal to embrace his progressive crusade—like challenging incumbent Democrats from the left.

“I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo,” Hogg declared, as though his own position wasn’t awarded through the same convoluted system he’s now condemning.

Kenyatta, meanwhile, took the recommendation personally, calling it “a slap in my face,” and insisted he “worked [his] a– off” to get there. He also tried to distance himself from Hogg, saying, “This story is complex… but it’s not about [David Hogg]. Even though he clearly wants it to be.”

It’s a full-blown circus.

New DNC Chair Ken Martin tried to downplay the drama, chalking it up to a simple “procedural error.” But a three-hour virtual meeting and a deadlocked committee vote tell a different story—one of dysfunction, finger-pointing, and a party in disarray.

In the end, the resolution passed 13–5, calling for a new election “as soon as practicable,” leaving the future of Hogg and Kenyatta up in the air. Both can run again—but given how quickly the party turns on its own, they might want to think twice.

This is the Democratic Party’s DEI doctrine in action: a tangled web of quotas, identity boxes, and impossible-to-navigate rules designed more for optics than outcomes. Now it’s backfiring publicly, and the people it was meant to empower are left holding the bag.

Welcome to the diversity disaster.

In a recent SiriusXM “Urban View” town hall, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made headlines by suggesting that Democratic donors are rallying behind the “safest White boy” for the 2028 presidential race. She stated, “So there’s a lot of people that are like, ‘You know what? Let’s go find the safest White boy we can find.’ I mean, I’m just saying.”

Crockett further elaborated, “I had a donor on the phone with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I tell you, it’s not a Black person, nor a woman, OK?”

These remarks have drawn criticism from various quarters, with some labeling them as racially insensitive and divisive. Critics argue that such statements undermine efforts to promote unity and inclusivity within the political landscape.

This isn’t the first time Rep. Crockett has been at the center of controversy. In April, she faced backlash for referring to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels” during a campaign event. The comment was widely condemned as disrespectful and ableist. 

Additionally, during a speech at Grace Baptist Church in Waterbury, Connecticut, Crockett remarked, “We done picking cotton,” suggesting that Black Americans are no longer willing to engage in agricultural labor and implying a need for migrant workers. This statement was met with discomfort and criticism for perpetuating stereotypes. 

In a House Oversight Committee hearing on the “Dismantle DEI Act,” Crockett argued that white men have not faced oppression in the United States, stating, “There has been no oppression for the white man in this country.” She emphasized the historical injustices faced by Black Americans and highlighted the disproportionate representation of white men in elected offices. 

These instances have led some to question Crockett’s judgment and suitability for leadership roles within Congress. As discussions about the future of the Democratic Party continue, such controversies may influence perceptions of potential candidates and party direction.

Black smoke rose from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday, signaling that the College of Cardinals has yet to reach an agreement on a new pope following Pope Francis’ death.

The 133 voting cardinals, who began their secret deliberations Wednesday evening, remain locked inside the historic chapel as they work to choose the next leader of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis passed away on April 21 from a stroke and heart failure.

After nearly three hours of voting, black smoke billowed from the chapel’s chimney—an unmistakable sign to the crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square and viewers around the world that no candidate had secured the necessary votes.

In the conclave, a candidate must receive a two-thirds majority—equivalent to 89 votes—to be elected pope. Until that threshold is met, the ballots are burned with a special chemical that produces dark smoke to indicate an inconclusive result. Once a pope is elected, a different chemical is used to create white smoke, marking the successful selection of the pontiff.

“Black smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel after nearly 3 hours of voting,” observers noted, as eyes turned skyward to watch the dark plume rise above Vatican City.

While the world waits, the centuries-old ritual continues behind closed doors. Once the cardinals come to a decision, the new pope will don the traditional white vestments and make his first appearance from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, greeting the faithful and revealing the name he has chosen for his papacy.

Crowds packed St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, scanning the chimney for signs of smoke and praying for guidance as the Church embarks on a new chapter. Photos captured worshippers gazing upward in anticipation of the next signal.

The voting process often takes multiple rounds before a consensus is achieved. Historically, however, conclaves have moved relatively swiftly in modern times. Pope Francis was elected in just two days in 2013, and the past 10 conclaves have averaged about 3.2 days before a new pontiff was named.

As speculation swirls over who will succeed Francis, faithful Catholics and curious onlookers alike continue to wait patiently beneath the Vatican’s skies, looking for that long-awaited white smoke to declare the election of the next pope.

A resurfaced video of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, a prominent member of the progressive “Squad,” has ignited fresh controversy, with conservatives slamming her remarks about the “radicalization of White men.”

In the 2018 interview with Al-Jazeera, Omar made the following claim while discussing domestic terrorism threats in the U.S.:

 “I would say our country should be more fearful of White men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.”

She added, “And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of White men.”

The video was re-shared this week by major conservative influencers like Laura Loomer and Libs of TikTok, racking up millions of views and prompting an intense backlash online—including from within the Biden administration.

Vice President JD Vance didn’t hold back, writing on X: “This isn’t just sick; it’s actually genocidal language. What a disgrace this person is.”

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) echoed the outrage, saying on X, “This is blatant racism. Who condemns it?”

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the GOP House Majority Whip, also weighed in, blasting Omar: “@ilhanMN never ceases to be an embarrassment for Minnesota.”

Conservative commentator Paul Szypula went further, claiming: “There’s never been a more anti-American member of Congress than Ilhan Omar.”

In response to the uproar, Omar’s office directed Fox News Digital to her recent post on X defending her comments. Omar explained: “In this nearly 8yr old clip, I am referring to the rise of white nationalism in an annual report issued by the Anti-Defamation League that said white supremacists were responsible for 78 percent of ‘extremist-related murders.’ PS you should look up what ‘genocidal’ actually means when you’re actively supporting a genocide taking place in Gaza.”

This latest controversy follows another dust-up involving Omar earlier this month. She was caught on video telling Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Myles Morell to “f— off” after he questioned her about Democratic lawmakers visiting El Salvador to support Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant deported by the Trump administration.

Doubling down on her defiance after the video spread, Omar posted: “I said what I said. You and all your miserable trolls can f— off.”

CNN is facing backlash after airing a bizarre and widely mocked interview with a member of Mexico’s notorious Sinaloa Cartel, in which the network seemingly sought to elicit criticism of former President Donald Trump’s crackdown on cartel violence—only to be met with unexpected resistance to attack the president.

The segment, which aired Saturday, featured CNN’s Isobel Yeung speaking to a cartel gangster whose identity was concealed with a mask, sunglasses, and latex gloves. The interview took place in what the reporter described as a secret location in Mexico, just days after Trump reiterated his commitment to cracking down on cartels and labeling them terrorists due to their role in trafficking deadly drugs like fentanyl into the United States.

“According to the Trump Administration, you are a terrorist … what do you make of that?” Yeung asked pointedly.

Instead of lashing out at Trump, the cartel member gave a surprisingly measured response: “Well, the situation is ugly, but we have to eat.”

Yeung pressed further, asking what message he would deliver directly to Trump. The gangster’s answer caught many off guard: “My respect. According to him, he’s looking out for his people.” He went on to note, “The problem is the consumers are in the United States. If there weren’t any consumers, we would stop.”

The interview rapidly went viral online, drawing fierce criticism of CNN’s approach. Social media erupted with users accusing the network of desperately fishing for an anti-Trump soundbite—and failing spectacularly.

“CNN is in full meltdown mode. All their usual smear tactics have failed—again. So what’s their next brilliant move? Interviewing the freaking Sinaloa Cartel,” one user mocked on X (formerly Twitter). “They were clearly hoping for a ‘Trump is evil’ quote. Instead? Total backfire.”

Another chimed in, “Not the answer the Communist News Network wanted.”

Critics also blasted CNN for what they perceived as an attempt to humanize or even sympathize with violent criminals. “So CNN is worried about hurting the cartel’s feelings? This isn’t the flex they think it is—it’s insulting to Americans,” one viewer tweeted. Another added, “Unbelievably, CNN gives a cartel member a platform to throw a pity party, but he ends up acknowledging Trump is just looking out for his people.”

The interview comes as Trump’s administration and the U.S. Coast Guard continue high-profile operations to combat cartel activities. Earlier this year, authorities seized over $500 million worth of drugs in the Eastern Pacific, underscoring the severity of the cartel crisis.

Rather than damaging Trump’s image, CNN’s segment appears to have inadvertently bolstered his tough-on-crime stance—while further eroding trust in the network’s journalistic judgment.

Warren Buffett, the legendary investor who transformed Berkshire Hathaway into a colossal conglomerate, announced he will retire as CEO at the close of 2025, handing the reins to Vice Chairman Greg Abel.

“I think the time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive officer of the company at year end,” Buffett, 94, declared on Saturday at Berkshire’s annual meeting in Omaha.

While the move caught most of Berkshire’s board by surprise, Buffett noted that his two children, who serve as directors, had been informed in advance.

Abel, 62, has worked as vice chairman since 2018 and was formally named Buffett’s intended successor in 2021. Accepting the responsibility, Abel told shareholders, “I couldn’t be more humbled and honored to be part of Berkshire as we go forth.”

Buffett confirmed he has “zero” plans to sell any of his Berkshire stock, stating that nearly all of it will be donated after his passing.

The announcement marks the close of Buffett’s astonishing six-decade journey at Berkshire, which began as a struggling textile firm and grew into a $1.16 trillion powerhouse spanning multiple industries. Today, Buffett’s personal fortune sits at $168.2 billion, the vast majority held in Berkshire shares, according to Forbes.

Cole Smead of Smead Capital Management summed up the moment, recalling that after hearing Buffett’s news, he told his father Bill Smead, “Well, it’s the end of an era. It’s sad, but it’s life.”

So far this year, Berkshire’s stock has surged 19%, far outperforming the S&P 500’s 3% decline. Investors have long trusted Buffett’s steady hand, seeing Berkshire as a shelter from economic turbulence and trade policy uncertainty.

But some wonder what’s next. “The question going forward is: will Berkshire still have a Buffett premium when Buffett is not there?” asked CFRA Research analyst Cathy Seifert. “You’re buying a stock and you’re also getting the investing prowess of a legend. With that legend gone, what is the value?”

Abel, who has increasingly overseen the company’s 189 operating businesses, suggested he plans to be more hands-on. “More active, but hopefully in a very positive way,” he said of his upcoming leadership style.

Buffett was confident in Abel’s ability, telling shareholders, “The fact that you can do pretty well doesn’t mean you couldn’t do better, and Greg can do better.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook echoed that faith, posting on X: “There’s never been someone like Warren, and countless people, myself included, have been inspired by his wisdom… There’s no question that Warren is leaving Berkshire in great hands with Greg.”

Berkshire’s famed annual shareholder weekend, dubbed “Woodstock for Capitalists,” draws tens of thousands to Omaha. While the company will keep the tradition alive, many predict attendance will wane without Buffett.

Buffett and his late business partner Charlie Munger, who passed in 2023, turned Berkshire into a sprawling enterprise with nearly 200 businesses, from Geico and BNSF Railway to Dairy Queen and See’s Candies. The company’s stock portfolio, worth $264 billion at last count, includes major holdings like Apple, American Express, and Bank of America.

Buffett, revered as the “Oracle of Omaha,” became synonymous with disciplined, value-driven investing. Despite his vast wealth, he famously stayed in the Omaha home he purchased for $31,500 in 1958.

Abel’s path to the top started in 1992 at MidAmerican Energy, which later became Berkshire Hathaway Energy. After leading the business for a decade, he rose through the ranks to become Buffett’s heir apparent.

Even as Buffett’s net worth could have soared higher, he began gifting away his fortune in 2006, with most of his remaining Berkshire shares expected to fund a new charitable trust overseen by his children Susie, Howard, and Peter.

Abel’s future challenges are clear: sustaining Berkshire’s growth without overpaying for deals, managing a massive cash reserve, and deciding whether to introduce dividends. Meanwhile, Howard Buffett, 70, is set to become non-executive chairman to help maintain the company’s core culture.

The Democratic Party’s identity crisis has spilled into full public view as left-wing firebrand Bernie Sanders lashed out at Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin for daring to challenge his favorite buzzword: oligarchy. Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, Sanders sneered, “The American people are not as dumb as Ms. Slotkin thinks they are,” adding fuel to a growing civil war among Democrats following President Trump’s decisive reelection and Republican victories in both chambers of Congress.

Slotkin, a more centrist Democrat trying desperately to keep her party tethered to reality, recently told Politico that calling America an “oligarchy” doesn’t resonate with average voters. In other words, she’s concerned about optics. Sanders, of course, doubled down on his doom-and-gloom talking points, insisting Americans “understand very well when the top 1 percent owns more wealth than the bottom 90 percent.”

It’s classic Bernie: If you don’t buy into his economic hysteria, you must think the American people are stupid. But the real story here isn’t about whether the U.S. is an oligarchy — it’s about a Democratic Party devouring itself in the wake of electoral defeat.

As Sanders and his ideological sidekick Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez march around the country on a so-called “Fighting Oligarchy Tour,” drawing crowds of self-proclaimed revolutionaries, moderate Democrats like Slotkin and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are trying to clean up the messaging dumpster fire. Walz recently told The Atlantic that Democrats should ditch elitist jargon like “oligarch” and “food insecurity” and instead just talk like normal people — say, calling it “hunger.”

It’s a message that’s unlikely to land with Sanders, who is too busy accusing billionaires like Elon Musk of masterminding the Trump administration, as if this were some Bond villain plot.

Amid the chaos, Sanders insisted, “The party is on the same page.” That’s a laughable claim. From Slotkin’s rebuke to Walz’s verbal eye-roll, it’s clear the only thing uniting Democrats is their inability to agree on anything — let alone how to take on Trump. The far-left has hijacked the party, and even some Democrats are starting to notice the ship is sinking.

For conservatives watching from the sidelines, the spectacle is delicious. The same party that spent years preaching unity and tolerance is now knee-deep in an ideological bloodbath. As Sanders rants about oligarchs and Slotkin tries to salvage what’s left of a relatable message, Republicans are back in power — and Democrats are too busy eating their own to do anything about it.

Let them fight.

Nearly half of the Department of Education’s workforce is set to be terminated as employees receive “reduction in force” notices, Fox News Digital has learned. Staff members were informed Tuesday evening of the impending cuts, marking a major shift in federal education policy.

A source familiar with the situation confirmed to Fox News Digital that the notifications would be issued late Tuesday, signaling the beginning of a massive downsizing effort. Earlier in the day, a department-wide memo was sent out, advising all employees that Education Department offices would be closed from Tuesday evening through Wednesday due to “security reasons.” Staff were required to vacate the premises by 6 p.m. Eastern Time.

President Donald Trump has long championed the idea of shifting control of education policy from the federal government back to individual states. He made this a key issue during his 2024 campaign, reiterating his belief that state governments are better suited to handle education. “I want to close up the Department of Education, move education back to the states,” Trump stated in August 2024. He acknowledged that while many states would likely thrive under this model, some could struggle. “Of the 50 [states], I would bet that 35 would do great. And 15 of them, or, you know, 20 of them, will be as good as Norway. You know, Norway is considered great.”

The layoffs follow reports that Trump is preparing to sign an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. According to The Wall Street Journal, a draft order has already been circulated, directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” within the legal framework. The draft order reportedly states, “The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families.”

Since taking office in March, Education Secretary Linda McMahon has been clear about her directive to transfer educational governance to state control. In a letter to department staff on her first day, McMahon declared her intent to oversee the transition, calling it a “momentous final mission.” “Our job is to respect the will of the American people and the President they elected, who has tasked us with accomplishing the elimination of bureaucratic bloat here at the Department of Education—a momentous final mission—quickly and responsibly,” McMahon wrote in the letter, which was first obtained by Fox News Digital.

McMahon also emphasized that the restructuring will have significant effects on department employees, budgets, and overall agency operations. While the timeline for the complete dissolution of the department remains unclear, the mass layoffs indicate that the process is already well underway.

​In a notable display of bipartisanship, ten Democratic members of the House joined their Republican colleagues to censure Representative Al Green of Texas. This action followed Green’s interruption of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, during which he vocally challenged the president’s mandate and was subsequently removed from the chamber. The censure vote, which passed 224-198, highlighted internal debates within the Democratic Party regarding decorum and protest. Below is an overview of the ten Democrats who voted in favor of the censure [CLICK “NEXT” BUTTON TO MOVE FORWARD]:

Joy Reid, a rabid Donald Trump critic, broke her silence on her dismissal from MSNBC during a raw 10‐minute Zoom interview on the “Win With Black Women” podcast. Reflecting on her contentious career, Reid defended her hard-hitting style, declaring, “I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those those things,” and candidly admitted, “I’ve been through every emotion from, you know anger, rage, disappointment….guilt..that I let my team lose their jobs.”

Reid, whose forthright commentary has often sparked controversy—including remarks about “white tears” and the claim that white women “did not show up” to vote for former Vice President Kamala Harris—has long been a lightning rod for criticism. Her provocative style even earned a barb from President Trump, who dismissed her as a “mentally obnoxious racist” following her exit.

Her firing from MSNBC also signaled the end of her five-year run on “The ReidOut.” The abrupt decision is part of a larger shakeup at the network, which has also seen the cancellation of shows by other prominent anchors such as Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart. New MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler, recently appointed after shedding her interim status, is now steering the network in a new direction following the departure of Rashida Jones.

In the midst of the upheaval, exclusive photos captured Reid in a fur-like coat and green baseball cap as she left her $1 million Maryland home—a visual reminder of both her distinctive style and the personal cost of her uncompromising approach. Despite the turmoil, Reid expressed gratitude for the impact of her work, emphasizing that her show had genuine value and resonated with her audience.

Her unapologetic tone and emotional openness continue to fuel debate over the network’s future direction and the broader implications of a media environment increasingly divided over its political and cultural stances.
