Rep Lauren Boebert projected to lose House seat in another Democratic flip
GOP firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is projected to lose her seat in the House to Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher. The Associated Press made the call in the razor-thin race Friday afternoon in favor of Laubacher, who maintained her slim 48.7% lead over Boebert’s 47.9% once 99% of the ballots had been counted. GOP SENATOR SAYS REPUBLICANS CAN ‘FORGET 2028’ AS PARTY LOOKS TO RECLAIM UPPER CHAMBER Libertarian candidate Douglas Mangeris came in third with a little more than 3% of the vote. Laubacher is projected to win Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, according to the AP. Boebert was running for her fourth term in the state. She served her first two terms in Colorado’s third district and was running for her second term in the state’s fourth district. 2026 MIDTERMS: PRIMARIES, KEY RACES AND ELECTION RESULTS The 39-year-old congresswoman’s loss comes amid a blue wave that saw Democrats flip seats in Republican strongholds like Texas, Kansas, South Carolina and Mississippi. Democrats now have 256 seats in the House of Representatives to Republicans’ 169. A party needs 218 for a majority. Several races nationwide remain uncalled nearly two weeks after Election Day.

Former CIA Director John Brennan’s son arrested after FBI uncovers dozens of alleged child porn images
The son of former CIA Director John Brennan was arrested for allegedly possessing child pornography, Fox News has learned. Kyle Brennan, 40, was charged with transportation of child pornography, according to a federal complaint. The case originated when Adobe CyberTipline reports flagged accounts linked to Brennan for uploading illicit files involving minors. In April and June 2024, Adobe submitted two reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding an account allegedly used to upload suspected child sexual abuse material. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS BLUE STATE’S LAW PROHIBITING ICE AGENTS FROM WEARING MASKS ON THE JOB The FBI’s Washington field office is involved in the investigation. Around April 7, 2024, three files were uploaded to the Adobe account. A review of the files indicated a file that appeared to be a morphed image combining the face of a minor girl, later identified as a 12-year-old, with the naked body of another minor, federal prosecutors said. Comcast records showed that the IP address used to upload the files was registered to Kyle Brennan at an address in Warrenton, Virginia, where he lives. Records from Apple later confirmed that the private relay account was registered to Brennan, authorities said. DOJ LAUNCHES GRAND JURY PROBE INTO MARXIST MOGUL NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM’S FUNDING OF LEFTIST GROUPS In July 2024, authorities searched Brennan’s home and seized his iPhone. The case was referred to the FBI in October, and a judge signed off on a warrant so investigators could examine the records and seize Brennan’s phone. On Friday, an FBI analysis of the iPhone, which was named “Kyle’s iphone (2)” contained a photograph of Brennan’s Virginia driver’s license and revealed approximately 88 images depicting girls under the age of 18 engaged in sexually explicit conduct, prosecutors said. One image appeared to be a “fully nude, pubescent minor girl on a locker bench,” the complaint states. “The girl’s wrists and ankles were bound and her mouth was gagged,” it said. The Justice Department is investigating John Brennan, who served under former President Barack Obama, regarding his role in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Fox News Digital has reached out to a representative for John Brennan and the Justice Department for comment.
Schumer’s leadership rival reveals major Senate rule change he’d pursue if elected
DENVER — A mile above much of the country, and leagues away from Washington, D.C., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is facing a progressive rebellion that threatens his grip on power. The challenge is being led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who has served under Schumer since 2017. And he is willing to go further than Schumer ever has on one issue: terminating the filibuster. Years ago, Schumer tried and failed to narrowly change the Senate’s rule to pass a sweeping voting rights package. Republicans have toyed with it over the last two years, but never pulled the trigger. SCHUMER’S FORMER ALLY MOUNTS LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE AS DEMOCRATS FACE RARE INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE Van Hollen said, “We need democracy in the United States Senate, and that means allowing, ultimately, a majority of senators to answer the call of the American people. “So, that means 51 votes. So, my personal view has been all along that the filibuster is an anti-democratic … provision. It’s not in our Constitution,” Van Hollen added. “It was put in there by senators to enhance their power over the power of the people.” Van Hollen announced his challenge against Schumer, who has led Senate Democrats for nearly a decade, Thursday night after a listening campaign with Senate Democrats. It presents a rare opportunity for Senate Democrats since there hasn’t been a contested Democratic leadership election since 1994. Just a week earlier, Van Hollen was mulling higher office, but now he’s giving up a potential bid for the White House in 2028 to do one thing: beat Schumer and grapple with President Donald Trump. “I’m no longer pursuing that,” Van Hollen told reporters at the What’s Next conference in Denver, where Democratic leaders, strategists and activists gathered to debate the party’s direction after its midterm wins. Van Hollen framed his challenge to Schumer as a response to voters’ calls for change after Democrats’ sweeping wins and President Donald Trump’s policies. “I did discuss this with Senator Schumer,” Van Hollen told Fox News Digital. “We understand that this will be a competition. I think it’s important to give Senate Democrats a choice.” DEMS ADMIT UNCOMFORTABLE ELECTION SWEEP TRUTH AS PARTY DESCEND ON DENVER TO SHAPE 2028 WITHOUT A FRONTRUNNER Voters “chose change,” he said, adding that the Democratic caucus needs “new ideas” and “a different way of governing.” Van Hollen has also criticized Schumer for limiting votes on legislation popular with Democrats, including a bill to boost unions. He said the incoming majority should pass the bills candidates campaigned on and challenge Trump to respond. “We shouldn’t wait to hear what President Trump may or may not do,” Van Hollen said. “We should answer the call of the American people.” Toppling Schumer will be an uphill climb. As the incumbent leader, he has an established network of support and can offer colleagues leadership posts. Either candidate will need 28 votes in the secret ballot contest expected in early December or 29 if Democrats win Alaska, where ballots are still being counted in the Senate race between Democratic nominee Mary Peltola and incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. THE MISTAKE NEWLY ELECTED DEMS ADMIT THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO MAKE WITH TRUMP AFTER SWEEPING 2026 WINS Some What’s Next attendees said Van Hollen could deliver the Senate leadership shake-up they want. “We definitely want change. We don’t want to go back to the way things have been. This is a turning point for our country,” Jenny, a Denver resident, said, adding it was time for Schumer to go. “This is the time for us to really, really go after what is right for everyone, not the status quo.” Ara, also of Denver, was optimistic about Van Hollen’s chances, saying she believes he already has significant support. “I think there’s a really good chance,” Ara told Fox News Digital. “I think there were a lot of people that were already willing to support him. So I feel very good about this,” she added. Zoe said Van Hollen’s willingness to stand up for his constituents is the kind of fight young people want from their representatives. “He goes out there, and he puts his body on the line for his constituents. And I think that’s what we’re looking for, the kind of fight we’re looking for from our representatives as young people,” Zoe told Fox News Digital.
Pete Hegseth impeachment effort dies in the House as absent Democrats couldn’t beat the traffic
Most of America bemoans political gridlock in the nation’s capital. DC area commuters deplore the city’s transit gridlock. But Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth may now be a fan of DC’s legendary traffic snarls. It appears that crosstown traffic may have prevented him from becoming only the third Cabinet secretary ever impeached by the House of Representatives. The House voted 211-204 this week to divert an effort by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to impeach Hegseth. House Republicans moved to block a straight, up-or-down vote on impeachment. Instead, Republicans forced a vote on sending the articles to the Judiciary Committee. That’s where they’d go to die. If the House failed to sidetrack the articles, Members would have then voted on actual impeachment. If a simple majority voted to impeach, Hegseth would join 19th century Secretary of War William Belknap and former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as the only Cabinet Members impeached by the House. But DC’s streetside congestion altered the parliamentary traffic on the House floor. All Democrats said they were intent on impeaching Hegseth. But Republicans faced an attendance problem. Seven of their Members were missing. The vote on sending the impeachment articles to committee was tight. The tally read 204-204 at one point. By rule, tie votes fail. That would have compelled a vote on actual impeachment. But a few more Republicans trickled in. The absent Democrats never did. Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) presided over the vote. He gaveled it closed at 211 yeas to send the articles to the committee and 204 votes against. That was it. The Hegseth impeachment quest was dead. Eleven Democrats missed the roll call. It’s about the math. Flip four votes and Hegseth would have been impeached, 208-207. HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE LOOMS AS HOUSE REPUBLICANS PRIVATELY WARN IT COULD PASS And, had all 11 truant Democrats made it to the U.S. Capitol and voted, it’s likely the House would have impeached Hegseth 215-211. Even eight Democrats would have made it 212-211. However, thanks to the Democrats’ attendance issue, Republicans were able to tap the brakes on the impeachment interstate. The failure to impeach Hegseth is now fueling road rage in the Democratic Party. “Shame on them for not showing up,” said Rep.-elect Richard Ojeda (D-N.C.). “I don’t make excuses for colleagues who don’t show up on such an important vote,” said Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.). Democrats can’t beat Republicans if they can’t beat the traffic. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) is one of the most outspoken Democrats when it comes to her disdain for Hegseth. But Stansbury grew defensive when questioned by colleague Bill Melugin about missing the vote. “I was trapped right there at that street corner because there was a police motorcade moving busses off of the campus. And I physically was trapped right at that corner in my vehicle, in traffic because the police had shut down traffic,” said Stansbury. “Why not come here sooner, though?” followed up Melugin. HEGSETH COULD FACE NEW IMPEACHMENT PUSH OVER UKRAINE AID, LAWMAKERS WARN “I did and I was trapped in my vehicle because of a police motorcade,” said Stansbury. Maybe. Maybe not. The Constitution’s “Speech or Debate” clause exempts lawmakers from police interference when “going to and from” the Capitol for “their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses.” It’s kind of like diplomatic immunity. A few years ago, Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) was supposed to preside over a brief House session in the middle of a recess. Traffic heading into DC from Northern Virginia was stopped because of an incident. Beyer was the only Member scheduled to be present in the House chamber that day. So Beyer identified himself to a police officer who proceeded to let him through. Over the years, other lawmakers have asserted the Speech or Debate clause as a reason to bypass unrelated police activity and get to Capitol Hill. Reps. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) and Laura Gillen (D-N.Y.) also said they were stuck in traffic. However, Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) was out for a medical procedure. Rep. Steve Horsford (D-Nev.) missed the vote because of a personal emergency. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was in the Golden State. DC’s traffic interfered with parliamentary traffic again on Thursday morning. The House took an early Thursday morning vote related to a veterans bill. The House adopted the motion, 271-135. But the House gaveled down the vote with 26 Members absent. The reason? Some Members were again stymied from making it to the Capitol. Emergency room physician Matt Lambert killed one person at a gym, shot six people and engaged in a standoff with cops before turning the gun on himself. Initially reported as an “active shooter” incident, District of Columbia police locked down major parts of the city, stalling traffic. And that’s why some lawmakers missed Thursday’s roll call. They were marooned in traffic. Shifting gears, Rep. Eric Sorensen (D-Ill.) in fact made that procedural vote on the floor. When the vote began, a gentle breeze blew across the Capitol plaza. Then a mist enveloped the Capitol. Later, a few heavier drops. Then the sun broke through the clouds. But reverted to overcast. It was a dank morning in Washington. “I want to know what the weather is,” yours truly shouted at Sorensen as he skipped down the House steps toward a group of reporters waiting below. Sorensen is a meteorologist who worked for decades at TV stations in Texas and Illinois before coming to Washington in 2023. Sorensen pivoted immediately into weatherman mode. “We’ve got increasing showers guys. Much cooler temperatures for the weekend,” said Sorensen, replicating the precise forecast for Washington, DC over the next few days. The meteorologist-turned-lawmaker gestured to his right as though looking at a phantom map of the Midwest, projected against a green screen in a TV studio. “As God is my witness, I cannot talk about the weather without moving my hands,” said Sorensen. “I talk about high pressure. It’s high pressure right here in the midsection of the country. And
Two top Trump Cabinet officials go to war over China spy scandal amid explosive accusations: report
A White House Situation Room meeting reportedly turned into a blowout between two of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet secretaries after news broke that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a suspect Chinese spy. Tempers apparently boiled over regarding claims Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick dragged his feet on placing restrictions on a company run by a suspected Chinese spy with whom Huang admitted to having an affair, even after the Cabinet official received an intel memo informing him of the potential threat. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly confronted Lutnick about that in the meeting, and other Cabinet officials took Bessent’s side, according to Axios. Trump has for months called to place companies suspected of supplying China with Nvidia’s complex AI chips on what is called the Entity List, a Department of Commerce export control list that identifies companies the U.S. government believes pose a serious risk to national security. A SPY TOOK OUT NVIDIA’S CEO; HERE’S HOW AMERICA STILL WINS THE AI RACE Three times — in May, August and last Thursday — Trump approved taking action against companies believed to be diverting Nvidia chips to China, according to Axios. One of those companies is Singapore-based Megaspeed International, which is reportedly one of Nvidia’s largest customers. Suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang, with whom the former Nvidia CEO admitted to having an affair, is an executive at Megaspeed. Lutnick was accused of slow-rolling in putting Megaspeed on the Entity List, which prompted Bessent to lose his patience. When the news of Jensen Huang’s affair broke, Lutnick, Bessent, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer reportedly convened in the Situation Room. Bessent confronted Lutnick about why the export controls had not already been put into place, and others in the room took Bessent’s side, according to the Axios report. REBECCA GRANT: JENSEN HUANG OWES AMERICA AN APOLOGY, AND NVIDIA OWES INVESTORS ANSWERS Lutnick said he would have to discuss it with the president despite Trump’s May and August orders to proceed. The group then met with Trump later in the day at the Oval Office. The president reportedly gave the order again, saying, “Let’s get it done.” Still, Lutnick wouldn’t proceed. “I’ll develop some options and come back,” he said. The group replied that Trump’s decision was final and that Lutnick must “go f—ing execute.” Lutnick is at the center of the scandal, especially after it was revealed he received a memo informing him about U.S. intelligence that Huang had a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy and still did nothing to put the company she ran on the Entity List. AMERICA AND CHINA ARE FIGHTING FOR THE FUTURE OF AI — CHIPS ARE THE BATTLEFIELD CHINA ‘THROWING GASOLINE ON THE FIRE’ IN AI DATA CENTERS RACE, SAY LAWMAKERS A spokesperson for the Commerce Department didn’t directly address the report of Lutnick’s confrontation with Bessent. “The Department of Commerce and the Department of the Treasury have a great working relationship and are committed to advancing President Trump’s agenda,” Kristen Eichamer told Fox News. She also said Lutnick has proactively decided to appear before the Senate Banking Committee to answer questions on the matter. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 10. Bessent appeared on CNBC’s “Sqwuak Box” Thursday morning, where he was asked about the reported blowout. He said there was coordination between the various agencies about putting Megaspeed on the Entity List but then referred further questions to the Commerce Department and Bureau of Industry and Security. “You will have to ask them about their internal proceedings,” Bessent said. US ATTORNEY WARNS CHINESE ESPIONAGE IS ‘EXTREMELY PERVASIVE,’ SAYS BEIJING ‘PLAYING THE LONG GAME’ Jensen Huang resigned from his post as Nvidia CEO Thursday morning, and the company has reportedly opened an investigation into the affair. The Treasury Department and White House did not return Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Fox News Digital reached out to Nvidia.
‘Traitor!’: Jeffries gets rude awakening at Democratic convention as heckler erupts
Protesters confronted Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., presumed to be the next House speaker, as he spoke at a Democratic conference in Colorado on Friday. While speaking at a panel event moderated by political consultant Jessica Tarlov at the “What’s Next” conference in Denver, Jeffries was repeatedly interrupted by protesters heckling him. “When is it time for a Green New Deal?” protesters shouted at Jeffries. “When is it time for Medicare-for-all?” DEMS ADMIT UNCOMFORTABLE ELECTION SWEEP TRUTH AS PARTY DESCENDS ON DENVER TO SHAPE 2028 WITHOUT A FRONTRUNNER Various videos from the conference posted to social media show different viewpoints of the hecklers. “You are a f—ing liar,” one protester yelled at the New York Democrat. “Hakeem Jeffries … I’m a young person, and I am scared for my future,” the protesters yelled during the panel discussion. THE MISTAKE NEWLY ELECTED DEMS ADMIT THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO MAKE WITH TRUMP AFTER SWEEPING 2026 WINS Jeffries’ office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request seeking comment Friday. What’s Next bills itself as a “major post-election gathering of the Democratic Party, where the leaders, ideas and debates that will shape the party through 2028 and beyond take center stage,” according to a statement on the conference’s website. “Together, we’ll absorb what happened in 2026 and chart where the party goes next,” the statement said. “What’s Next, presented by majority Democrats and sponsored by MD PAC, is the defining convening of the post-election season, bringing together the people who will write the party’s next chapter.” SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER The What’s Next conference comes after the Democratic Party made major gains in the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Jeffries said in a post Thursday on X that House Democrats “will clean up the mess in Washington, get big money out of politics and ban members of Congress from trading stocks.” House Democrats are scheduled to vote on their leadership slate Nov. 18, and Jeffries is running unopposed for the party’s nomination for speaker.
Schumer’s former ally mounts leadership challenge as Democrats face rare internal power struggle
Senate Democrats are getting an opportunity they haven’t had in decades: a different option for who their leader could be. Even before the blue wave crashed over Republicans and Democrats emerged with a commanding majority in the Senate, the rumblings for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to step aside were there. Now, he’s got a challenger in Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., a familiar face in Washington, D.C., who framed his bid against Schumer as one answering the call for change voters demanded. It’ll be the first time that a Senate Democratic leadership race will be contested since 1994. DEMOCRATS TURN ON SCHUMER AFTER HISTORIC ELECTION WINS AS POTENTIAL CHALLENGER EMERGES Van Hollen’s emergence, at 67, as the lone challenger to Schumer, 75, comes after lawmakers and candidates demanded a change in Democratic leadership before the election. That call has only intensified in the week after Democrats won the midterms, with Van Hollen interpreting the seismic political shift as an indictment of President Donald Trump that can only be acted on if Senate Democrats go in a new direction. The challenge is already dividing Senate Democrats. In an interview with MS NOW, Van Hollen didn’t offer a sharp policy contrast to Schumer, and cast doubt on Democrats’ ability to pass key progressive desires, like Medicare for All. “But it should be very clear: While, you know, voters have rejected the Trump policies, they’ve not yet hired Democrats — they’ve given us a chance, we have to earn their trust,” Van Hollen said. “My view is that you can’t earn that trust with old leadership. You need to move on to new leadership.” Van Hollen acknowledged that he was an “underdog,” but revealed during the interview that he had over 10 Senate Democrats in his corner and believed more were to come. Right now, either lawmaker will need 28 secret ballot votes to win the job — that could bump up to 29 if Democrats flip Alaska, where ballots are still being counted in the Senate race between Democratic nominee Mary Peltola and incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan. And it could get messy over the next few weeks before the early December, closed-door election. And he’s got the backing of the progressive standard-bearer in the Senate: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and new faces of the progressive movement, like Sens.-elect Abdul El-Sayed, who Van Hollen endorsed early on in his campaign, and Peggy Flanagan, who said on X that Van Hollen was the “leader and fighter we need to bring about real change, so no American is left behind.” VAN HOLLEN CHALLENGES SCHUMER FOR SENATE LEADERSHIP AFTER DEMOCRATIC ELECTION SWEEP Ultimately, either candidate’s success will likely break down on how well they both work with and push back against President Donald Trump. Early in Trump’s second term, Van Hollen won praise from progressives when he traveled to El Salvador for a welfare check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported by the administration. But Schumer has dealt with Trump for years, and told the Washington Sun that his strategy heading into the new Congress will be to put bill after bill on the floor, like restoring Obamacare subsidies or banning insider trading, and dare Republicans to vote them down — Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., used a similar strategy over the last two years. “In a certain sense, it’s a win-win. I’d rather get things done, but it’s not going to stop us,” Schumer said. “We are going to move forward with or without Trump, with or without the Republicans.” Despite the demands for change, Van Hollen is very much a creature of Washington, having served in Congress since 2003. He’s the son of diplomats, and served in House Democratic leadership under former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He was chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats’ campaign arm, for two cycles, and was quickly tapped by Schumer to lead the Senate’s campaign operation when he ascended to the upper chamber in 2017. CHUCK SCHUMER AFTER SWEEPING DEMOCRATIC MIDTERM VICTORIES: ‘I’LL BE RE-ELECTED AS MAJORITY LEADER’ And he spent his entire career in the Senate behind Schumer, who first became leader in 2017, and he has rarely broken with him on key votes. He has, however, emerged as a staunch critic of Israel and criticized Schumer’s ties to the crypto industry and meddling in Democratic primaries. He currently serves on four committees in the Senate: Appropriations, Foreign Relations, Budget and Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, and throughout his career in Congress has focused on budget issues and foreign affairs. Still, outside progressive groups are beginning to back him. The progressive Sunrise Movement is all in on Van Hollen. The organization announced its support for the lawmaker on Bluesky, and wrote, “Young people voted for change on election night.” “Chuck Schumer can’t give us that, but Chris Van Hollen might,” they said. “The truth is, the ‘blue tsunami’ could easily become the blue mirage in the wrong hands. And Schumer’s hands are too full of billionaires’ money to hold young people’s future.” Another progressive group, the 50501 protest movement, also declared its support for Van Hollen Thursday night in a post on Bluesky, urging voters to pressure their senators to “vote Chris, NOT CHUCK.” There are a bevy of other outside groups that have opposed Schumer, including Indivisible, MoveOn and the Working Families Party, and the 600,000-member International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers sent the top Democrat a letter demanding he step aside. But Schumer has remained confident about retaining his position. “I welcome any discussion about the future of our caucus and the important work ahead,” Schumer said on X. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—55 seats and counting is an amazing result—and I have the votes to continue serving as Democratic Leader.” His allies have leaned into sports metaphors to describe why he should keep the job, with both Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., comparing it to
Rubio takes aim at ‘soulless global bureaucrats’ pushing Marxism to undermine America
FIRST ON FOX: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is taking aim at “soulless global bureaucrats” using “rules-based order” arguments to undermine U.S. foreign policy in a speech Friday, warning that the “spirit of Marx” outlived the Soviet Union. U.S. leaders of both parties defended the “rules-based international order,” the network of postwar institutions America built. Rubio is set to argue the system has been turned against the country that built it, the same case he made at his January 2025 confirmation hearing, when he called the postwar order “a weapon being used against us.” In a preview of Rubio’s speech obtained by Fox News Digital, he outlines how Marxism still has a strong presence in Western society, a view which is relevant amid the rise of communist and Marxist beliefs that have driven protests against the administration and Western beliefs. The remarks are subject to change during his speech. “For this global elite, ‘international law’ is not a neutral body of rules,” Rubio is expected to say. “It’s an instrument to advance their interests under the pretense of universal principles. They’re staunch defenders of democracy, until a particular election challenges their interests.” RUBIO PUTS ENTIRE WORLD ON NOTICE AGAINST RISE OF ‘POISONOUS’ FAR-LEFT TERROR ‘MASKED AS EQUALITY’ “Even as we defeated the institution of Soviet communism, we did not triumph over the spirit of Marx,” Rubio’s expected remarks read. “It lives on, in these new forms and doctrines, which would subordinate the national will to the menial consensus of the world. Marxism, in its traditional expression, sought to abolish the distinctions between men; the radicals of our time seek to abolish the distinctions between nations themselves.” Rubio is expected to address the Federalist Society at the National Lawyers Convention on Friday, when he will go after the International Criminal Court and other global bodies he says are using the law as a political weapon, not to deliver justice. The secretary of state argues that they’re trying to tie America’s hands and let unelected judges and bureaucrats overseas override decisions that belong to the American people, according to a State Department source. RUBIO’S CALL TO COMBAT GLOBAL FUNDERS OF FAR-LEFT TERRORISM COULD PUT SINGHAM IN CROSSHAIRS The secretary of state is expected to defend the administration’s sanctions on the ICC, which he calls “an unelected world tribunal.” If it tries to enforce its “paper decrees” against Americans, he plans to say, the U.S. answer will echo the Roman general Pompey: “Stop quoting laws to men with swords.” He also will push back on those who say Americans live on “stolen land,” arguing that critics who stand behind this belief deny the nation’s right to exist, and cast the U.S. as “a nation of irrepressible ambition,” according to the excerpts. REAGAN-ERA OFFICIAL WARNS ‘RED-GREEN ALLIANCE’ HAS SHARED GOAL OF ‘DESTROYING’ AMERICA Last week, Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed invoked “self-determination” and developed an argument about America’s role in the international system created after World War II, calling it a “chief violator” of international law. “The beauty of this country is our ideals,” El-Sayed said. “We led the effort in this country to build a rules-based international order,” he continued. “We built the United Nations and the World Health Organization and the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, so that we could uphold the ideals of democracy. We did that. And then we proceeded to be the chief violator of exactly those same ideals. To call our country to those ideals became an open question, how could you?” LAWMAKERS RAISE ALARM OVER NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM’S $278M NETWORK SPREADING CCP PROPAGANDA IN THE U.S. El-Sayed’s words echoed language used late last year by Neville Roy Singham, whose financial network has supported CodePink and other left-wing organizations. After his wedding to Evans in 2017 and the sale of ThoughtWorks, the technology company he founded, Singham directed $285 million to nonprofits and media organizations, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. The People’s Forum received $22.4 million from Singham, while CodePink received $1.33 million. BreakThrough BT Media Inc., which operates BreakThrough News, received $1.098 million, according to tax filings. Singham and his wife, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, live in Shanghai, China. In a speech exactly one year ago, on Nov. 13, 2025, to the “Global South Academic Forum” at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Shanghai, Singham argued that the existing “international rules-based order” was built on a false narrative of World War II and called for a “new world order” based on multilateralism advanced by Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China. JIM BANKS, GOP LAWMAKERS RALLY BEHIND DOJ PROBE INTO ALLEGED CCP-LINKED FUNDING NETWORK “The international rules-based order was created by another lie,” Singham said. “If we want to therefore have a new world order that is based on the multilateralism that President Xi and CPC and China have proposed, we have to undo the ideological damage that has been done by the narrative of World War II,” Singham had said. RUBIO SANCTIONS CUBAN GROUPS WITH TIES TO US NONPROFIT NETWORK FUNDED BY COMMUNIST DONOR NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM This hostility to the U.S. has infused itself in the anti-American work of far-left organizations. At the People’s Forum, Tricontinental and other groups funded by Singham, the programming includes Cuba solidarity campaigns, Venezuela advocacy, anti-Iran sanctions initiatives, opposition to NATO expansion and educational events on China, all framed within a broader narrative of “resistance” to U.S. influence. Event flyers and social media posts repeatedly highlight Cuba, promoting teach-ins, cultural programming and delegations opposing U.S. policy. That narrative aligns with Singham’s rejection of the Western system. Fox News Digital investigations have found that the “spirit of Marx” has storefronts, syllabi, fundraising apparatus in America’s nonprofit world and a critical role as the conduit for sending foot soldiers into America’s streets for protests to defend communist regimes across the world and promulgate anti-American propaganda.
