Rep. Summer Lee's (D., Pa.) office has improperly used House resources and the notorious Instagram account "Dear White Staffers" for campaign and political activity, according to a complaint filed with the House Ethics Committee on July 22.

Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed has falsely and repeatedly claimed he removed lead from Detroit's elementary schools during his brief tenure as director of the troubled city's health department. At most, he implemented inadequate testing followed by modest, often failed, mitigation efforts to keep children from ingesting harmful lead and copper, according to legal filings and city records, including documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon via Freedom of Information Act requests.

NEWTON, Mass.—Rep. Jake Auchincloss spent some of his time and energy Monday night trying to dispel concerns from voters about a takeover of his party by the Democratic Socialists of America.

Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is running as a crusader for the working class, owns a rental property in Dubai, according to his latest financial disclosure. While the property's exact location is unknown, the disclosure provides a clue, listing an outstanding debt of as much as $100,000 to the luxury developer behind a "resort-style" community located in "the heart of New Dubai," complete with a "stunning lagoon and white sandy beaches."

Ken Martin's chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee has failed to inspire confidence. After a year and a half with Martin at the helm, the DNC is mired in debt and increasingly reliant on accounting gimmicks to stay afloat, the New York Times reported on Sunday.

She's for some minor cuts.

Karishma Manzur, a Ph.D. scientist who often touts her fondness for facts and evidence, made the comment last August during an appearance on the barely watched YouTube show #NHtok live, hosted by Arya Shams and Marissa Emanuele.

The Democratic nominee running in Ohio's 15th Congressional District, Don Leonard, says he's not a democratic socialist but would "lie to the people of my district" to "get their votes" if he were. Leonard, a former Ohio State University professor, has supported the Bernie Sanders-backed Working Families Party (WFP) and wrote in an academic paper that the best outcome for the United States is a socialist "counter-movement."

Paul Burrell was a footman to Queen Elizabeth II from 1976 to 1987, and then an eyewitness to the marriage of Prince Charles, who is now King Charles III, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, who is now beatified as a human sacrifice to the House of Windsor. The Royal Insider is a cattily camp, tittle-tattling tell-all in the finest traditions of royal biography. It is also an autobiography, self-serving in its shameless autotherapy. Serious scholars of Windsor whispering may be tempted to skim the story of Burrell’s lonely childhood and troublesome prostate, the faster to gorge on his generous dollops of behind-the-scenes gossip. That would be a mistake. The Royal Insider is a study in the psychology of service.

Since its inception as an academic discipline, criminology has concerned itself first and foremost with the question of why people commit crime. Beginning with their earliest research, criminologists gathered extensive data on large groups of people to try to disentangle which variables predicted offending. With sufficiently large samples and adequate measurements, these criminologists thought, they could determine why some people commit lots of crime, while others commit none at all.

Ever wonder what the six teeth on all Venetian gondolas signify? (The six districts of Venice.) Or why and how chicken wing flats are stripped out to form a "meat umbrella" during competitive eating contests? (Much easier to consumer them faster.) Or why some movie stars are credited as "with" or "and"? (They indicate a major star playing a small but significant role.) Or where the "V for Victory" originated? (Occupied Belgium in 1941, as a warning to the Nazis.) Then Ben Schott's Significa is just the book for you.

Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed Saturday during joint U.S.-Israeli military operations across the Islamic Republic, ending his 36-year reign as the country's bloodthirsty theocratic dictator, President Donald Trump confirmed Saturday afternoon.

President Donald Trump on Saturday sounded a confident note about the U.S.-Israeli barrage of airstrikes against the Iranian regime in a phone call with the Washington Free Beacon.

Trump said he was feeling "fine" after the opening round of attacks on the regime and told the Free Beacon that the operation against the Islamic Republic was "going very well." The conversation marked his first reported statement on the status of the ongoing "Operation Epic Fury" since his remarks soon after the United States and Israel launched a sweeping aerial campaign aimed at toppling the hardline regime and destroying its military capabilities.
