The legacy media's stranglehold on news narratives is dying, according to a major mainstream media player. In a column published Monday, Axios founders and authors Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen wrote, "The big media era is over." They continued, "The mainstream media's dominance in narrative- and reality-shaping in presidential elections shattered in 2024. ... How and where Americans get informed has broken into scores of pieces - from young men on Joe Rogan's podcasts, to suburban women following Instagram influencers."

In 1990, the Ukraine Parliament affirmed it had the "intention of becoming a permanently neutral state that does not participate in military blocs ..." Ukraine's political and military neutrality was accepted by the United States, Russia, and Great Britain in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum as part of establishing a nuclear non-proliferation agreement which would "respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine ... to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine."

With only one week to go until Election Day, concerns over election integrity are ramping up across the nation. In Virginia, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) is trying to block the state from clearing noncitizens from its voter rolls, while the state is seeking assistance from the highest court in the land.

American voters frequently classify the 2024 presidential election as the worst of times. But one national candidate cut through the vapid and vitriolic rhetoric to dispense perhaps the single best piece of advice ever given in this or any election. One of the four figures vying to win next week's election begged the American people to put politics in perspective.

The Israeli air force launched a long-anticipated strike against Iran early Saturday morning, in retaliation for Iran's missile barrage against Israel on October 1. The operation demonstrated Israel's air superiority, while also showing "restraint," according to the National Review editors, giving Iran room to climb down from a further confrontation.

The Harris campaign has struggled to sell churchgoing voters on their candidate, in large part due to the fact that they lack a product this audience wants. "The sole issue that Kamala Harris has been running on" is abortion, said David Closson, director of Family Research Council's Center for Biblical Worldview, on "Washington Watch" Friday. "This really is the only issue [on which] she has been consistent and clear and energetic."

In the closing days of the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris has branded herself a prayer warrior who believes everyone ought to be able to live out the Christian faith - one day after saying she would reject any religious exemption for pro-life professionals who refuse to participate in an abortion. That moment came during the vice president's CNN town hall, hosted by Anderson Cooper on Wednesday. The event, which some have called her "closing argument," featured a number of notable moments that Christians should remember.

Democratic candidates have been running on abortion for years, and both President Joe Biden and now Vice President Kamala Harris have pledged to resurrect a more extreme version of Roe v. Wade if Democrats win the White House in November. But Harris is promising more than just unrestricted abortion on demand: she's promising to make American Christians carry out and pay for abortions.

Over three months after former President Donald Trump was shot in the side of the head at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a bipartisan U.S. House panel is releasing a report on the "stunning security failures" that resulted in 20-year-old Thomas Crooks's assassination attempt. The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump released an interim staff report on Monday, concluding that the assassination attempt was "preventable and should not have happened," but did because the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) was ill-prepared for the event.

An overwhelming supermajority of Americans from all political parties and ethnic backgrounds believe that only Americans should vote in U.S. elections, and that voters should have to provide a photo ID before casting their ballot, a new survey has found.

"The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with the Department of Defense and the intelligence community," Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder announced Tuesday. "Anytime there's an allegation of potential unauthorized disclosures, the Pentagon is going to take it seriously." But, for Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), the very "fact that we're investigating" how classified U.S. intelligence on Israeli war preparations found its way to an Iran-linked social media channel "simply confirms ... that something is going on within the administration," he said on "Washington Watch" Tuesday.
