Israeli officials have decided to block U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib , D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar , D-Minn., from entering the country as part of a planned visit, a reversal that comes amid pressure from President Trump and concerns about their support for boycotts of Israel. The country’s deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely announced the decision Thursday, despite prior assurances that the congresswomen would be allowed in. HOUSE OVERWHELMINGLY OKS RESOLUTION OPPOSING ISRAEL BOYCOTT IN RARE BIPARTISAN VOTE “Israel has decided — we won’t enable the members of Congress to enter the country,” Hotovely told public broadcaster Kan. “We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle, this is a very justified decision.” The decision confirms earlier reports that Israeli officials were leaning in that direction. Earlier Thursday, President Trump even publicly prodded Israel to stand firm in blocking Omar and Tlaib. “It would show great weakness i...

A Brexit protester has been jailed for blocking trains running between London and France, causing disruption costing more than £1m. Terry Maher, 44, climbed on top of a tunnel in what police said was an extremely hazardous area overlooking railway lines near St Pancras International station in March – the month Britain was meant to leave the EU. He was carrying a St George flag, power banks for his phone and warm clothing. Image: Terry Maher caused more than £1m worth of disruption A total of 88 train services were cancelled and up to 22,000 holidaymakers, travellers and commuters were hit by his 13-hour demonstration. It stopped high-speed trains travelling to Kent in the South East and France, leaving some international passengers stranded overnight in London. Maher, from Camden, north London, was found guilty of malicious obstruction of the railway and was sentenced to a year in jail on Monday. After the sentencing at Blackfriars Crown Cour...

Former Illinois congressman and radio host Joe Walsh is attracting sudden media attention as he floats a possible  GOP primary  challenge against President Trump — but the Tea Party-aligned Republican could struggle to be taken seriously as he confronts his own history of conspiracy theories and incendiary remarks. Walsh penned an op-ed for The New York Times this week in which he called for Trump to face a primary challenge from the right, describing him as “a racial arsonist who encourages bigotry and xenophobia to rouse his base and advance his electoral prospects.” SANFORD POINTS TO LABOR DAY DECISION ON PRIMARY CHALLENGE TO TRUMP He told  CNN Wednesday that he has not ruled out mounting such a primary challenge  himself. At the same time, however, Walsh has had to account for his own rhetoric. In the Times, he wrote: “In Mr. Trump, I see the worst and ugliest iteration of views I expressed for the better part of a decade.” And on CNN, he apologized “for the role that I pl...

President Trump said Thursday that the suspect in the shooting of six police officers during a Philadelphia standoff should “never have been allowed to be on the streets.” The suspect, identified as Maurice Hill, 36, has a long record of gun-related convictions and of attempting to evade arrest, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He is now in custody. PHILADELPHIA SUSPECT IN CUSTODY AFTER HOURS-LONG ORDEAL THAT LEFT 6 OFFICERS WOUNDED “The Philadelphia shooter should never have been allowed to be on the streets,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “He had a long and very dangerous criminal record. Looked like he was having a good time after his capture, and after wounding so many police. Long sentence – must get tougher on street crime.” The suspect allegedly shot six officers during a standoff that began after two Narcotics Strike Force officers showed up at a multifamily home to serve a warrant, according to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, who said things “went awr...

Political parties are showing partisan, highly charged adverts to teenagers on Facebook and Instagram, Sky News can reveal. The Children’s Commissioner has described the practice of targeting young people as “irresponsible”. Sky News has seen 208 political ads shown to 13 to 17-year-olds on Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram, where advertisers can target campaigns according to age. The majority of the ads came from the Conservatives, which showed 102 ads to teenagers, mostly featuring Boris Johnson. Sky News revealed last month that the Tories had welcomed the new prime minister with an online ad blitz costing tens of thousands of pounds. Labour only showed four ads to 13 to 17-year-olds, but these were extremely partisan. Two Instagram ads from the party featured a picture of Nigel Farage next to Tommy Robinson, and claimed that: “The only way to stop the far-right from winning is by voting Labour.” Users were urged to “double tap this and then share it to your story”. ...

Donald Trump has pledged to “get much tougher on street crime ” after six police officers were shot and wounded in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania, on Wednesday night while trying to enforce a drugs warrant.  The president has also gloated after outspoken Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were barred from entering Israel , having been critical of the influence of Israeli lobbyists in Washington, declaring: “They hate all Jewish people”.

The Liberal Democrats have gained another MP after former Conservative Sarah Wollaston joined their ranks. Her move brings the number of MPs representing parliament’s fourth-biggest party up to 14, following swiftly on from the recent election of Janet Dodds in the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election. Dr Wollaston, chair of the influential Commons health select committee, said she was “delighted” to be joining a “fantastic team” which was “unequivocally making the case for us to remain at the heart of Europe”. Image: Wollaston was among the MPs who joined The Independent Group in February Welcoming her, Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson said the pair had “worked together for many months to fight to stop Brexit”. She added the party was “growing” and was the “strongest” option for Remainers. Dr Wollaston had defected with two other Tories , Heidi Allen and Anna Soubry, to The Independent Group in February. At the time, she used her speech to attack the...

elections Republicans in the state fear Donald Trump will talk up a potential run by his bombastic former aide during a rally Thursday. President Donald Trump’s Thursday evening rally in Manchester, N.H., is ostensibly about ginning up support for his reelection campaign. But the state’s establishment GOP class is worried he’ll use the event to do something else: Talk up Corey Lewandowski’s potential 2020 Senate bid. Story Continued Below Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has relayed concerns about Trump’s controversial former campaign manager to party leadership. Tom Rath, a former New Hampshire attorney general and a prominent Republican in the state, says he’s “not a Corey fan.” Former GOP Sen. Judd Gregg took to the pages of New Hampshire’s biggest newspaper to deride Lewandowski as a “ thug .” And Dave Carney, a longtime New Hampshire-based strategist who’s worked on an array of statewide Republican campaigns, ...

The fact-checking website PolitiFact again came under fire for alleged political bias Wednesday after it posted a bizarre article that refused to rule on whether Michael Brown was in fact “murdered” by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo. in 2014, as Democratic presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren falsely claimed last week. In the  article , headlined “The death of Michael Brown, legal facts and Democratic messaging,” PolitiFact correspondent Louis Jacobson acknowledged issues with Harris and Warren’s language, noting that a state grand jury had found Wilson’s use of force to be justifiable. Jacobson also observed that the  Obama administration’s Justice Department separately cleared Wilson of federal civil rights violations, saying “there is no credible evidence that Wilson willfully shot Brown as he was attempting to surrender or was otherwise not posing a threat.” The Obama DOJ additionally concluded that “sufficient credible evidence supports Wi...

The largest union of federal workers on Tuesday announced it’s suing the U.S. government in a bid to get it to drop its latest rules restricting talk of presidential impeachment and whether they should #Resist. Interested in Trump Administration? Add Trump Administration as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Trump Administration news, video, and analysis from ABC News. The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents some 700,000 federal workers, said it was concerned that the latest guidance restricted free speech and could be weaponized by politically motivated managers, including those seeking to punish people who express support for the president. AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. said, “OSC’s vague, overbroad guidance creates an opening for managers and political appointees to go after career civil servants for politically-motivated reasons.” Bill OLeary/The Washington Post/Getty Images Cox Sr. National President of the A...

Market-watchers enjoying their first sip of coffee around 6 a.m. might have done a spit-take. For a brief period Wednesday morning, yields on two-year Treasury bonds were higher than those on ten-year ones — a short-term investment was seen as riskier than a long term one, and the return therefore higher — a signal that can portend major trouble for the economy . The last time the yields “inverted” was in 2007, before the “great” recession; the two times before that also directly preceded recessions. The dynamic flipped back before markets opened Wednesday, but stocks nevertheless dropped amid new fears of serious economic trouble ahead. According to research from Credit Suisse (via the Washington Post ) recessions historically have followed 18 to 24 months after the yield curve inversions like the one Wednesday morning. Before we get too carried away, it’s worth mentioning that there are some who argue the yield curve invert isn’t as reliable a recession indicator as it’s genera...

Cambridge professor and reported FBI informant Stefan Halper , who is being sued by a Russian-born academic for allegedly smearing her and former national security adviser Michael Flynn as part of a government conspiracy to bring down the Trump administration, declared in a recent  court filing  that he is entitled to legal immunity ordinarily afforded to federal agents – even if the lawsuit’s allegations are true. Halper did not explicitly admit to being an FBI informant in asking an Alexandria, Va. federal judge to throw out the case, and his filing followed legal rules that require defendants to assume that plaintiffs’ factual allegations are true in the initial stages of litigation. “Private individuals who participate in FBI investigations are subject to the federal common law qualified immunity applicable to government agents,” as well as constitutional protections, Halper’s motion to dismiss asserted. The qualified immunity privilege exempts federal agents from litigation ...
