The Financial Times reports that more than 9 million Americans holding student loans have fallen behind on at least one payment this year, as delinquencies surge across the 1.7 trillion dollar student debt market following the expiration of the Biden administration’s pandemic era payment pause. According to the government’s Financial Stability Oversight Council, student loans now stand out as “a notable exception” amid otherwise low default rates for household borrowing nationwide. Although student loans have long carried higher default risks than other forms of consumer credit, the council noted that the share of balances overdue by more than 30 days…

New data from the FBI’s Active Shooter Report confirms what critics of progressive crime policy have long argued. California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” during the five year period from 2020 through 2024. Figures published in the FBI’s official report show that California recorded 25 “active shooter incidents” over that span, the highest total of any state in the country. John Binder of Breitbart News noted that these findings reinforce earlier federal data showing California topping the national list in individual years as well. Previous Breitbart reporting noted that California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in…
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is rolling out a public facing database that allows Americans to search the “worst of the worst” illegal aliens arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a report from Breitbart. The new database, hosted at dhs.gov, compiles detailed information on illegal aliens taken into custody by ICE, including where arrests occurred, the crimes committed, and the identities of those detained. DHS officials say the initiative is designed to give Americans direct access to information that is often minimized or ignored by establishment media outlets. Rather than relying on filtered narratives, the public…
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner is placing the blame for America’s worsening housing crunch squarely on what he describes as an unchecked surge of illegal immigration that intensified under the Biden administration. According to Turner, the fallout has landed hardest on low-income Americans who are increasingly priced out of rental markets that were already stretched thin. Fox News reported that every two years, HUD publishes its Worst Case Housing Needs Report, the agency’s most comprehensive assessment of housing affordability for low income renters. The report measures how many households lack access to affordable and adequate housing, tracks whether…
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced legislation on December 9. 2025 calling for the United States to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), describing the Cold War-era alliance as obsolete and arguing American resources should be redirected toward domestic defense. “NATO is a Cold War relic. The United States should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our country, not socialist countries,” Massie said in a December 9 social media post announcing the bill. “Today, I introduced HR 6508 to end our NATO membership.” The legislation, formally titled H.R. 6508, would direct the President to notify NATO…
According to a report by the Financial Times, Donald Trump expanded his pressure campaign on Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro this week with a dramatic high seas seizure by U.S. forces of an oil tanker carrying the South American country’s crude. The U.S. president followed up with a series of sanctions, intensifying Washington’s economic crackdown even as he avoids—so far—military action on Venezuelan soil. Trump on Friday declined to say whether he intends to seize more Venezuelan oil assets, but stated that attacking “by land is a lot easier and that’s going to start happening”. The moves come as the Trump…
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Ukraine and its European allies delivered President Trump a response to his team’s previous peace proposal in an attempt to speed up cease-fire negotiations with Russia, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated. However, significant divisions persist, both parties acknowledged, especially concerning Ukrainian territory that Moscow seeks to control and Kyiv refuses to surrender unilaterally. “The discussion is ongoing on these different positions,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday. He noted that the U.S. has requested a definitive understanding of where negotiations stand by Christmas. Merz indicated he hoped to organize a meeting…
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker enacted legislation on Dec. 9, 2025 that restricts federal immigration enforcement activities throughout the state, including at courthouses and medical facilities, according to a report by the Epoch Times. “By signing this legislation today, we are safeguarding people and institutions that are part of Illinois,” Pritzker declared in a statement. “Taking your child to day care, visiting your physician, or going to class should not become a life-changing ordeal.” HB 1312, which took effect immediately upon signing, enables individuals to pursue legal recourse against law enforcement officers they believe infringed upon their constitutional rights during civil…
