DAVID MARCUS: Virginia's battle over gerrymandering betrays our broken politics

I met Debbie having a cigarette outside my hotel this week. She is 80, a great-grandmother of eight, and smokes as much as I do. She was up from rural Georgia, and asked me, in the sweetest voice you ever heard, what all the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ signs on the roads were about. I gave Debbie a thumbnail explanation of the referendum set for April 21 over whether to amend the state constitution , change the Virginia U.S. House of Representatives district maps and go from a 6-5 advantage for Democrats to a 10-1 advantage. She simply smiled and said, "Well, these days, everyone’s yelling about something or other." I was struck by her words. It had been my son’s job on the mostly bucolic drive south through the commonwealth to count the yard signs, a task he well remembers from the last election that also keeps him off his phone, sort of. We found about 20 ‘Yes’ signs and 15 ‘No’ signs, the former mostly in pricey suburbs, the latter in the rural areas Democrats are seeking to forcib...

Foreign fugitive wanted for woman’s killing lived undetected in US for possibly years before ICE arrest

A foreign fugitive who illegally entered the U.S . and is wanted for killing a woman in Mexico was caught near the southern border after evading notice for possibly years. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Mexican illegal immigrant Jose Gustavo Angulo Bernal outside a residence in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, last week. Though Angulo Bernal had no criminal record in the U.S., he is wanted in the Mexican state of Sinaloa on homicide charges connected to the 2018 murder of a woman. He was arrested during a targeted traffic stop while driving a vehicle registered in his name. In a public statement, the Department of Homeland Security mockingly referred to Angulo Bernal as "one of the Media’s ‘Non-Criminals.’" The agency emphasized that while nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of crimes in the country, those with foreign charges are not part of that statistic. DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis commented that while ...

VA Dem rejects ‘power grab’ claims on Spanberger redistricting as GOP warns 10–1 map would split rural vote

A top Virginia Democrat is defending support for the redistricting effort critics are calling a "power grab" on the part of Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Richmond leadership, dismissing claims that rural Virginians will have their voices diluted by an urban-centric map. The redistricting referendum, before voters through April 21, would redraw Virginia’s 6-5 Democrat-majority congressional map to a likely 10-1 spread, leaving only Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., from the Old Dominion’s mountainous far southwest in office for the GOP. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., a first-term Loudoun County congressman, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the goal of the redistricting remains as stated in its referendum text: to "restore fairness" in congressional apportionment.  When Virginians head to the polls, he argues, issues like the Iran conflict, health care funding and unease over the state of immigration enforcement will be on their minds.

Pop icon Cyndi Lauper is facing backlash after blasting a Republican-backed voting bill , warning her followers in a fiery social media post that the SAVE (Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility) Act is "not about protecting against voter fraud — it’s about voter suppression."

Hegseth cuts Ivy League ties in military education shake-up, taps Hillsdale

FIRST ON FOX: Hillsdale College told War Secretary Pete Hegseth it would be "honored" to help educate senior U.S. military officers — aligning itself with the administration’s push to cut ties with Ivy League schools over concerns about ideological influence. In a March 30 letter to Hegseth, Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn thanked the Department of War for including the school among institutions selected for the Senior Service College Fellowship Program, which sends senior military officers to civilian universities for advanced education as they prepare for top leadership roles. "Thank you for including Hillsdale College among the institutions qualified to educate America’s military leaders," Arnn wrote, adding that he supports Hegseth’s goal of equipping the military with "the lethality necessary to protect our national interest." The letter comes weeks after Hegseth announced the Department of War would end partnerships with several elite un...
