The world’s top nuclear powers have no arsenal limits, here are the countries with nukes
We're watching the same failure loop.

For the first time in decades, the world’s two largest nuclear superpowers are no longer bound by any treaty limiting their arsenals.
The last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the U.S. and Russia, known as New START, expired Thursday.
WORLD ENTERS UNCHARTED ERA AS US-RUSSIA NUCLEAR TREATY EXPIRES, OPENING DOOR TO FASTEST ARMS RACE IN DECADES
The lapse removed limits on how many nuclear weapons Washington and Moscow could deploy on missiles, bombers and submarines, and ended the requirement that both sides notify one another whenever nuclear weapons were moved.
The scale of what’s now unconstrained is vast. 
Globally, there are more than 12,200 nuclear weapons spread across nine nuclear-armed nations, according to a recent analysis. The United States and Russia alone account for roughly 10,636 of those weapons.

While the exact size of each country’s arsenal is closely guarded, below is a breakdown of estimated nuclear stockpiles, based on data from the Federation of American Scientists. 
Ahead of the New START agreement’s expiration, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Rather than extend ‘NEW START’ (a badly negotiated deal by the United States that, aside from everything else, is being grossly violated), we should have our Nuclear Experts work on a new, improved and modernized Treaty that can last long into the future."
He has previously argued that China should be included in any new agreement with Russia, pointing to Beijing’s growing nuclear arsenal, the world’s third largest after the U.S. and Russia.

Im-Politic: How Mamdani’s Rent Control Plans Will Shaft New York’s Immigrants
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.

Remember “It’s Ironic” – that 1995 song by Canadian vocalist Alanis Morissette?  Well, here’s something really ironic (as Morissette eventually acknowledged many of her examples were not):  Among the main victims of the rent control proposals of New York City’s new, avowed immigrant champion Mayor Zohran Mamdani will be…the city’s immigrants and their descendants.

How could such an Open Borders-loving leader become such a bane of these families?  It’s explained in a new Washington Post article about some of the almost certain damage that will be done if Mamdani’s plans succeed.

As noted by Post reporters Tim Craig and Gaya Gupta (who on the basis of this piece, at least, I hope haven’t been sacked in the paper’s huge staff cuts this past week), the City’s real estate sector doesn’t consist only of large property magnates.  According to the Small Property Owners of New York organization, 22,000 of its apartment buildings only have six to ten units per building. 

And as also noted, in the 1980s, “Mayor Ed Koch was urging immigrants to invest in distressed properties to combat blight.”  Many did, “hoping to bring home a little extra cash as property values grew….”  

These landlords have already been tightly squeezed by New York’s already “stringent rules restricting rental increases for apartment buildings constructed before 1974” and by the blazing inflation stoked by the also Open Borders-friendly Biden administration.  

If Mamdani adds new controls – and especially a rent freeze – their incomes’ growth will trail their cost increases at an even faster rate.  And for many, their American dream will go kerblooey.

Even worse, these immigrants and their families who will be shafted have undoubtedly been legal arrivals – as opposed to the illegals on whom Mamdani evidently wants to shower generous public services funded by taxpayers (including of course the landlords – see, e.g., here and here). 

On top of this collateral damage, as virtually everyone with a lick of common sense knows, price control efforts like Mamdani have historically backfired and led to market distortions – especially shortages. And abandoned units already multiplying and entire buildings poised to follow are the last things needed by housing-poor New York and its hard-pressed tenants – native-born and immigrant alike.    

Combine these developments with the distinct possibility that the rising immigrant tide sought by Mamdani and others has put major upward pressure on housing costs (by increasing demand), and it looks like this supposed champion of migrant-related causes and affordability is setting up his new constituents for the mother of all immigration-related housing crises.  

Massie calls for Lutnick’s resignation after files show dealings with Epstein post-conviction
Same show, different day.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is calling on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign after the latest tranche of Epstein files show him in business dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Asked by CNN Inside Politics Sunday host Manu Raju whether Lutnick should testify in front of Congress about his past ties to Epstein, Massie responded, “No, he should just resign.”

“There are three people in Great Britain that have resigned in politics … for less than what we’ve seen Howard Lutnick lie about,” he said.

DOJ SAYS NO EPSTEIN FILES WERE REDACTED FOR NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS

British politician Peter Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords and quit his membership to the governing Labour Party last week. He was previously removed from his post as British ambassador to the United States last year as a result of his known ties to Epstein. On Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s aide Morgan McSweeney resigned for recommending Mandelson serve as ambassador.

Additionally, Prince Andrew was formally stripped of his royal titles by King Charles III last fall for being an alleged accomplice to Epstein’s sexual degeneracy.

While the political fallout from the Epstein files has been more widespread in Europe, Lutnick is one U.S. official whose relationship with the sex trafficker is now under scrutiny.

Documents released by the Department of Justice show Lutnick planned to visit Epstein’s private island in December 2012. The two signed an agreement that month on behalf of limited liability companies to acquire stakes in advertising technology company Adfin, which would later shutter.

EPSTEIN FILES SHOW MUSK PLANNED TO VISIT INFAMOUS ISLAND FOR ‘WILDEST PARTY’ DESPITE DENIAL OF TIES

Lutnick once claimed he and his wife cut ties with Epstein in 2005, but the uncovered emails show he kept in touch with the disgraced financier several years after his 2008 conviction in Florida. Based on the email records, Lutnick apparently planned to get drinks with Epstein in 2011 and have lunch on Epstein’s island in December 2012. The latter invitation was for Lutnick and his family.

In response to the alleged meetings, the Commerce Department downplayed Lutnick’s business relationship with Epstein.

“This is nothing more than a failing attempt by the legacy media to distract from the administration’s accomplishments including securing trillions of dollars in investment, delivering historic trade deals, and fighting for the American worker,” the …

Schiff says photo ID will ‘suppress the vote’ despite most Democratic voters supporting it
Confidence requires clarity.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was adamant Sunday that requiring photo identification will “disenfranchise” voters from future elections.

Democratic lawmakers are opposing the Republican-led Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which passed the House of Representatives last year and requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Schiff said he opposes a compromise of requiring photo ID to vote in United States elections, describing the SAVE Act as a “voter suppression law.”

ABC News anchor Jon Karl spotlighted a poll from last year showing 83% of U.S. adults support a photo ID to vote, with 71% of Democrats supporting it. Schiff dismissed this, however.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH PRAISED FOR PATRIOTIC BUDWEISER SUPER BOWL AD AFTER BUD LIGHT CONTROVERSY

“It’s still going to be something that disenfranchises people that don’t have the proper Real ID, driver’s license ID, that don’t have the ID necessary to vote, even though they are citizens,” Schiff said on ABC News’s This Week. “This is another way to simply try to suppress the vote, and the last thing I think we want to do is discourage more people, more citizens from voting while they’re attacking those same elections, while they’re trying to do away with absentee ballot voting, while they’re trying to do away with being able to register to vote through the DMV or by the mail.”

“So it’s part of the broader disenfranchisement effort, and no, I don’t think that’s the right direction,” Schiff said.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has denied promising that Senate Republicans will weaken the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, telling the Washington Examiner this week that he only agreed to speak with the rest of his conference about it. Thune has been adamant about protecting the filibuster, which currently requires at least 60 senators to support bringing legislation to the Senate floor.

OPINION: MAKE DEMOCRATS DEFEND NONCITIZEN VOTING

Thune also downplayed President Donald Trump’s bid to “nationalize” voting, saying he is “a big believer in decentralized and distributed power.”

Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk, an ex-ally to Trump, reposted a statement on X saying he wants to abolish mail-in voting, making an exception for troops overseas or those with a serious medical condition. Musk wrote on X it is “critical to avoid fraud.”

Even CNN Is Questioning Hakeem Jeffries Shutdown Strategy
Are they actually going to vote on something real?

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—CNN’s Dana Bash pointed out to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday that a partial government shutdown over Democrats’ demands for restrictions on enforcement by federal agents would primarily affect agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Federal Aviation Administration.

Despite Democrats’ new list of demands for Republicans to avoid a shutdown, President Donald Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act already provided substantial funding to the Department of Homeland Security.

During their “State of the Union” interview, Bash asked Jeffries how a shutdown would advance Democrats’ goal to “rein” in immigration agencies under DHS if it would disrupt others whose missions were not focused on immigration enforcement operations.

“Well, our plan is to get there on behalf of the American people. That’s why we need to press forward aggressively and ensure that there are legislative changes enacted as part of any DHS spending bill, because that’s the way that you change behavior,” Jeffries said. “And these are commonsense changes, things like mandatory body cameras. Judicial warrants should absolutely be required before ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents can storm private property and rip everyday Americans out of their homes in such a violent fashion.”

“Of course, we need to make sure that there are no masks, so that ICE is conducting itself like every other law enforcement agency in the country. That shouldn’t be controversial,” Jeffries added. “It shouldn’t be controversial that we are demanding that the Fourth Amendment constitutional protections are adhered to as it relates to the way in which ICE is conducting itself.”

In July 2025, Congress passed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act, thoroughly funding federal law enforcement agencies. The approved bill set aside an estimated $170 billion for immigration enforcement and border security, and roughly $75 billion in supplemental funding for ICE.

With recent protests against ICE agents in major blue cities like Minneapolis after the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, however, Democrats have doubled down on their pushback against DHS and ICE.

Jeffries went on to add that state and local officials should be able to conduct independent investigations against ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents who “violate the law.”

“We also need to make sure that state and local officials have the ability to conduct independent investigations, so that, when ICE or CBP or other officers violate the law, they can be investigated and prosecuted and held accountable for those violations of state and local law, not being able to govern themselves with impunity, which is the case right now,” Jeffries stated.

While Jeffries has been vocal on Democrats remaining firm in their stance, nearly two dozen party members broke with the House minority leader Tuesday to pass a sprawling funding package, ending a four-day government shutdown. While the package reopened most of the government for the year, however, DHS received only a short-term continuing resolution thorough Feb. 13. …

4 House Primaries You Need to Watch
Are they actually going to vote on something real?

2026 will be a decisive year for the balance of power in the House of Representatives, as voters go to the polls and decide whether Republicans hold on to their slim majority.

But before November, voters will have an opportunity in primaries to decide who their party’s nominee will be. In some cases, the primary will all but determine the general election winner.

Here are four House primaries you should be watching.

Texas’ 32nd Congressional District

Republicans are likely to make a pickup in Texas’ redrawn 32nd Congressional District, thanks to redistricting in 2025.

In the Republican primary, Jace Yarbrough, a conservative constitutional lawyer, has received President Donald Trump’s endorsement. Yarbrough is promising to be a new conservative firebrand in the House.

It’s time for Republicans to go on offense and give President Trump reinforcements.

This is why I’m running for Congress in #TX32 ??
— Jace Yarbrough (@JaceYarbrough) January 17, 2026

“We are in a cold civil war. It’s time to start acting like it, to go on offense, to take ground, to hold the high ground, and to advance the conservative principles we know are good for our communities,” Yarbrough said in a recent campaign video. 

Yarbrough faces off against a number of other Republicans, such as the pastor and 2024 presidential candidate Ryan Binkley, former Oklahoma congressional candidate Paul Bondar, and Darrell Day, who ran as the Republican nominee in 2024 for the 32nd District.

The primary will take place March 3.

New York’s 12th Congressional District

The decision of 78-year-old Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., not to seek reelection has created a packed free-for-all in the state’s 12th Congressional District, which covers much of Manhattan.

Some of the candidates are already well-known liberal figures.

Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy, is running for Congress in NY-12, after years as an online left-wing influencer and provocateur.

There is also George Conway, the ex-husband of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who has joined the Democratic Party and is running for the Democrat nomination in the district. Conway co-founded The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political action committee.

Cameron Kasky, a 25-year-old graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, shooting, is also running.

Kasky first gained prominence as part of the pro-gun control “Never Again MSD” group alongside David Hogg and others. Kasky supported Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign and has accused Israel of “genocide.”

The primary will be held on June 23.

Washington’s 4th

Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., one of 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump in the final week of his first term, is not seeking reelection in 2026.

In the Washington state primary system, every candidate, Democrat and Republican, competes in an initial blanket primary. Then, the top two candidates proceed to the general election.

This system has produced interesting results in the past.

In 2024, Newhouse’s firebrand, Trump-endorsed opponent Jerrod Sessler, beat the …

Japan's governing party projected to win snap election majority
Be honest—this is ridiculous.

Starter Comment
Some excerpts from the article:
The country's first female prime minister is seeking a clear public mandate just four months after becoming Liberal Democrat Party (LDP) leader.
Her predicted success is in marked contrast to her two predecessors, under whom the party lost its parliamentary majority because of corruption scandals and rising costs.
But Takaichi's personal popularity appears to have helped the party, with approval ratings for her government mostly hovering above 70%.
The LDP and its current coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party, could secure as many as 366 of the 465 seats [~79%] in the House of Representatives, according to a poll by broadcaster NHK.
Takaichi's enthusiasm, populist spending promises and nationalist rhetoric appear to have energised voters.
Takaichi has pushed to toughen the immigration system, review rules around foreign ownership of Japanese land, and tackle any non-payments of tax and health insurance by foreign nationals. But in a country where only 3% of the population are foreign nationals, critics have accused her of creating anxiety and division.
Relations with China - Japan's largest trading partner - have been strained as well, after Takaichi suggested last November that Japan could intervene militarily if China invaded Taiwan.
Takaichi has courted Donald Trump, who has publicly endorsed her - an unusual move by a US president - and they both seem to agree that Japan should spend more on defence.

Questions:
Do you believe that Takaichi can successfully reinvigorate Japan's ailing economy?

What are the geopolitical implications of Takaichi's nationalist rhetoric and more bellicose stance towards China?

In the context of President Trump's wavering defense commitments to historical allies, do you believe that Takaichi will be able to secure and strengthen military ties with the US.

Iran threatens to attack US bases ‘spread all over’ region if Trump orders strikes
Be honest—this is ridiculous.

Iran is once again threatening to attack U.S. military bases across the Middle East if President Donald Trump orders a second round of strikes on the Islamic Republic in less than a year.

“In my view, this is very clear. If the U.S. attacks us, it is evident that we don’t have the ability and access to attack U.S. territory and therefore have to attack or retaliate to U.S. bases in the region,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera on Saturday. “And unfortunately, U.S. bases are spread all over the region.”

Iranian leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have made repeated threats if Trump intervened militarily in Iranian affairs as the clerical regime cracked down on anti-government protesters.

MICHAEL RUBIN: WILL TRUMP FALL FOR IRAN’S NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS BLUFF?

The latest threat was made one day after the United States and Iran concluded their first two rounds of indirect nuclear talks in Oman. Additional talks are expected to take place in the coming days.

The renewed negotiations center on Iran’s nuclear weapons program, which the U.S. targeted in a bombing campaign last June. Tensions between the two nations have grown ever since then.

Araghchi said there is a “very, very deep distrust” amid the nuclear talks because the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities during negotiations last summer.

“In my view, this is not easy. This distrust, of course, was created by the United States,” he added. “In the previous round of negotiations, it was not us who carried out a military attack in the middle of negotiations. In fact, the first bomb that was fired at us was fired at the negotiating table.”

The U.S. attack followed the Israeli military’s strikes on Iranian targets, which were meant to prevent the Islamic regime from further developing nuclear weapons. Iran had been enriching uranium up to 60% purity, short of the 90% threshold that is required for nuclear weapons, before the conflict.

While its nuclear capabilities had been set back, Iran stated during the latest negotiations that it does not intend to stop enriching uranium as the U.S. military surrounds the nation.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is one of many U.S. Navy ships that recently arrived in the Arabian Sea in a show of force against Iran. Trump’s Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner both boarded the aircraft carrier on Saturday after holding nuclear talks with Iranian officials.

Trump hopes to make a nuclear deal with Iran soon. …

The single crushing problem American cattle ranchers wish Trump would fix instead
Who's accountable for the results?

President Donald Trump's beef import plan aims to cut prices, but cattle ranchers say it misses what’s crushing them most — the power of meat packers.
"Meat packers have created a system where they win no matter what—at the cost of everyone else," said Will Harris, a fourth-generation cattleman and owner of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia.
Harris, who plans to hand off the operation to his children, said his farm handles every step of production, from raising cattle to processing and selling beef, giving him a clear view of how prices are set.
AMERICA’S SMALLEST CATTLE HERD IN 70 YEARS MEANS REBUILDING WILL TAKE YEARS AND BEEF PRICES COULD STAY HIGH
At the center of that pricing power sit the "Big Four" — Tyson, JBS, Cargill and National Beef — anchoring the U.S. beef supply chain from pasture to plate.
Together, the packing titans process about 85% of the grain-fattened cattle that become steaks, roasts and other supermarket cuts.
"The U.S. beef market is so highly concentrated that a small number of dominant packers control processing, distribution and pricing. This allows them to pay ranchers less for cattle while charging consumers more at the store. When cheap imported beef enters the system, it allows packers to increase their margins," Harris told Fox News Digital.
It’s a concern echoed deep into cattle country.
Texas cattle rancher Cole Bolton said he sees the same problem in the Lone Star State.
IN TEXAS CATTLE COUNTRY, ONE RANCHER WELCOMES TRUMP’S FOCUS ON DECADES OF THIN MARGINS
"What the real issue is, is the price differential between the big four packers and what they're paying us for the product," said Bolton, the owner of K&C Cattle Company.
Those margins, Bolton said, have been squeezed for decades. "Ranchers have dealt with such thin margins of profitability for the last 20 years."
While ranchers like Bolton and Harris say Trump’s temporary expansion of U.S. beef imports from Argentina may help ease prices in the short term, both warn it is no substitute for rebuilding domestic production.
"Imports should be a bridge, not a long-term replacement," Harris said. "We must rebuild the American cattle herd, protect American farmers and ensure transparency, so consumers understand where their beef comes from. Long-term affordability depends on a healthy, resilient domestic cattle industry—not permanent dependence on foreign beef."
Years of drought, high feed costs and an aging ranching population have thinned herds, leaving the U.S. cattle supply at its lowest level in more than 70 years.
"I think it's going to take a while to fix …

What is the “anti” argument against Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act?
Ask who never gets charged.

My understanding is this. The strict originalist side believes that only the state legislatures, without the state court and with some debate about the governor (though it appears even Thomas rejected the view diminishing gubernatorial power). This view lost by 6-3 in 2023 or 24 at the Supreme Court in Moore v Harper.
My question is, wouldn’t the arguments for the VRA be even stronger. The strict originalist interpretation is that the state legislature or Congress can pass redistricting laws, and the VRA is clearly the latter.

Bad Bunny created a cultural phenomenon. Can he spark a political one?
People are fed up—do they even notice?

The world is watching for Bad Bunny to make a political statement at the Super Bowl. Democrats are watching closely to figure out how to make their own.

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, the Puerto Rican recording artist known globally by his stage name, has created a pop culture phenomenon that will converge at a historic halftime show performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday when the New England Patriots play the Seattle Seahawks. Though Bad Bunny already made his Super Bowl debut alongside Shakira and Jennifer Lopez back in 2020, this time the spotlight will be on him and his exclusively in-Spanish catalog. And while his invitation triggered a harsh backlash on the right from the president on down, it’s also marking a major inflection point for Hispanic Americans of all backgrounds.

Sunday may prove to be Bad Bunny’s biggest chance to move the dial.

There’s an opportunity here, Democrats told POLITICO, to turn Bad Bunny’s cultural phenomenon into a political one, right as the party is mounting its strongest resistance to Trump’s sweeping deportation agenda — and with months to go before the midterms to make amends with Latino voters who have left their tent.

Former Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), who is of Puerto Rican descent and whose tenure in the House was marked by his outspokenness for the Latino communities he represented, emphasized that Democrats need to seize this moment to win back Latino support.

Democrats “do too little to engage the Latino community, and then they wonder why all these Latinos voted for Trump? Because you didn't knock on their doors asking to vote for the Democrat. You failed to message us in so many ways,” he said. “They should embrace it.”

“It's such a huge watershed moment,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said. “I wouldn't be surprised if he used this as a very unifying moment, but also on very resonant and salient grounds to send a message to people.”

There’s already signs of what’s on the Latino rapper’s mind.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ‘ICE out,’” Bad Bunny said last Sunday as he accepted the Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album for his record-smashing “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” — just hours before taking home the night’s biggest prize, Album of the Year. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens — we are humans, and we are Americans.”

Bad Bunny isn’t new to political endeavors. But he has long focused primarily on island politics — he’s a big activist for Puerto Rican independence — and has only occasionally weighed in on mainland issues.

In 2024, shortly after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe infamously disparaged Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” during the pre-show for Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, Bad Bunny posted an endorsement of Kamala Harris to …

Turning Point USA’s ‘All-American Halftime Show’: Everything you need to know
This feels like a quiet policy shift.

Super Bowl Sunday is finally here, and Turning Point USA is doing something different to counterprogram the game’s halftime show.

The NFL received criticism from conservatives in September when musical talent Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, was selected to perform at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show due to the rapper’s anti-ICE remarks. The c‹hoice prompted TPUSA to announce its own halftime show as counterprogramming.

Here’s all you need to know about TPUSA’s “All-American Halftime Show.”
