Just hours after New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill blamed a software glitch for thousands of non-citizens being registered to vote, the software company involved issued a statement disputing the claim. IDEMIA, the software vendor for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, issued a statement saying it was the responsibility of the state government, which is completely controlled by Democrats, to verify eligibility to vote.

Gov. Greg Abbott has signed an executive order directing multiple state agencies to investigate and eliminate birth tourism operations in Texas. The order directs the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Department of State Health Services, the HHSC Office of Inspector General, the Texas Medical Board, the Texas Board of Nursing, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to investigate claims of birth tourism and take enforcement action against those involved.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday stayed lower court rulings regarding the release of three illegal migrants into the United States while the courts debate whether the men have a constitutional right to bond hearings. The unsigned order centers on three men in Texas who were arrested by state troopers between November 2025 and February 2026 during routine traffic stops. 

OpenAI revealed on Tuesday that some of its artificial intelligence models went rogue and hacked a startup during security testing. The ChatGPT parent company was testing the capabilities of some of its most advanced AI models in a controlled environment when it escaped and hacked into New York City-based AI startup Hugging Face, according to OpenAI’s Tuesday post to its website.

The House Ways and Means Committee subpoenaed three left-wing nonprofits with ties to Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham.  The subpoenas are part of an investigation into more than $39 million that went from Signham to the nonprofits, Fox News reported. 

After President Donald Trump declassified hundreds of pages of intelligence documents showing that China obtained more than 220 million voter registration records since 2020 and that the Intelligence Community kept it from him, he lamented that the news media did not cover the disclosures more vigorously.    "They and others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left,” Trump said last week. 

Multiple cities appear to have used federal funding made available through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021, signed into law by former President Joe Biden, in order to provide legal services or attorneys to illegal aliens facing removal. A review of U.S. Treasury Department documents reveals multiple other cities told the U.S. Department of Treasury they intended to use ARPA money to support illegal aliens, joining Nashville, which awarded over $3 million in ARPA funding for two pro-illegal alien nonprofits in 2022, and recently appropriated an additional $1.5 million for the same groups in its Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget.

The House passed a bill Monday to expand research into a largely untapped energy source amid growing demand for power driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence. Sponsored by Republican North Carolina Rep. Pat Harrigan and Democratic Oregon Rep. Andrea Salinas, the bipartisan Next-Generation Geothermal Research and Development Act passed the House by voice vote Monday. The bill aims to expand federal research into advanced geothermal technology as lawmakers seek reliable, around-the-clock power sources to meet soaring electricity demand from artificial intelligence, data centers and domestic manufacturing.

Washington’s preoccupation with foreign influence has become almost reflexive, though curiously selective in its targets. Some lawmakers have built entire political identities around scrutinizing the influence of the Israel lobby on American foreign policy. Similarly, journalists trace Qatari money through American think tanks, and analysts fervently scrutinize Gulf investment in universities and sports franchises. Yet China, the one foreign power with both the resources and the strategic incentive to shape American technology and energy policy, occupies a curiously small share of this scrutiny. Given the evidence now available, that imbalance deserves correction. Neville Roy Singham makes for an instructive starting point. Having sold his software consulting firm for hundreds of millions of dollars, Singham relocated to Shanghai, where he now works from an office shared with a Chinese media company whose stated mission is promoting Beijing’s narratives to foreign audiences. From that base, he has directed substantial funding toward a cluster of American nonprofits, including The People’s Forum, the ANSWER Coalition, and BreakThrough News, whose output consistently aligns with the positions of the Chinese government on major geopolitical questions. A visitor to his office once documented a banner reading “Always Follow the Party,” a detail that leaves little room for ambiguity about the network’s orientation.

New data shows that less than a quarter of young people own their own home, as the housing affordability crisis is actually worse than it seems. A new way to measure America’s homeownership rates, done by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, found that for adults under 35, only 22% are homeowners, according to Axios.
