Former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the most powerful and polarizing figures in modern American politics, has died at the age of 84.
Cheney’s family says he passed away Monday from complications of pneumonia and heart disease.
Cheney served as Secretary of Defense during the Gulf War under President George H.W. Bush, and later as Vice President under George W. Bush, where he became a key voice behind the invasion of Iraq.
Flags are expected to fly at half-staff later this week in his honor.
The Final Pitch To Voters Nationwide; Jack4NJ, WinwithWinsome, NO to retaining PA judges and NO to Prop 50 in California
With Scott Presler, EarlyVoteAction.com | @ScottPresler.
In this conversation, Carl Jackson discusses the controversial topics surrounding welfare, specifically SNAP benefits, and the implications of illegal immigration on the welfare system. He argues for a return to a system where welfare is seen as temporary assistance and emphasizes the need for shame associated with dependency on government aid. Jackson also critiques the current immigration policies that allow illegal aliens to access welfare benefits, suggesting that this undermines the dignity of work and creates a class of dependents. He expresses concern over the impact of these policies on the middle class and the overall fabric of American society.

Two men have been charged with terrorism-related crimes in the Detroit area after federal authorities made arrests and seized a cache of weapons last week in a storage unit and elsewhere. According to a 72-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court, the men had scouted LGBTQ+ bars in Ferndale, a Detroit suburb. FBI Director Kash Patel had announced arrests Friday, but no other details were released at the time while agents searched a home in Dearborn and a storage unit in Inkster. The court filing says the two men who were charged and other co-conspirators were inspired by the Islamic State group's extremism.
On today’s show, Josh Hammer breaks down the upcoming elections in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia, explaining what’s really at stake for conservatives as voters head to the polls. From local races to national narratives, Josh lays out how these results could reshape the political landscape heading into 2026.
Then, Josh turns his focus to the growing controversy inside the conservative movement — calling out The Heritage Foundation for defending Tucker Carlson after his association with far-right figure Nick Fuentes. Josh argues that defending voices like these undermines the moral credibility of the Right and distracts from the principles that should define the conservative cause.
Later, Josh welcomes Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report, to discuss the potential blue-state exodus if Zohran Mamdani were to win in New York City. The two explore what a “Mayor Mamdani” would mean for New Yorkers, small business owners, and the broader ideological war between red and blue America.
A Harvard Medical School building has reopened while a “very active” investigation continues into a weekend explosion that authorities said was intentionally set off.
An officer who responded to a fire alarm early Saturday morning encountered two people running from the Goldenson Building, according to university police. The explosion occurred on the fourth floor of the building, which houses labs and offices associated with the medical school's Department of Neurobiology.
The Boston Fire Department determined that the explosion was intentional and officers did not find additional devices in a sweep of the building, police said. No one was injured.
An FBI spokesperson declined to comment Monday other than describing the investigation as “very active.” Police released grainy photos of two people wearing face coverings and what looked like sweatshirts.
The Trump administration said it plans to partially fund food aid for millions of Americans on Monday after two judges ruled it must use contingency funds to pay for the benefits in November during the government shutdown.
The administration laid out the U.S. Department of Agriculture's plan in a filing in federal court in Rhode Island at the direction of a judge who ordered it last week to use emergency funds to at least partially cover November's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
The U.S. Department of Justice said the USDA is complying with U.S. District Judge John McConnell's order and "will fulfill its obligation to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds today."
But while the administration said it would fully deplete the $5.25 billion in contingency funds, it would not use other funding that would allow it to fully fund SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans, which cost $8 billion to $9 billion per month.
The administration said $600 million would be used to fund states' administrative costs in administering SNAP benefits, leaving $4.65 billion that will be obligated to cover 50% of eligible households’ current allotments.
The partial payments are unprecedented in the program's history. A USDA official warned in a court filing that at least some states, which administer SNAP benefits on a day-to-day basis, would need weeks to months to make system changes that would allow them to provide the reduced benefits.
SNAP benefits are paid out monthly to eligible Americans whose income is less than 130% of the federal poverty line, or $1,632 a month for a one-person household and $2,215 for a two-person household in many areas.
The prolonged government shutdown, for which Republicans and Democrats have blamed each other, has put SNAP benefits in jeopardy. The shutdown began October 1.
The USDA had said funds were insufficient to pay full benefits, and announced last month that it would suspend SNAP benefits starting November 1.
But McConnell and another judge in Boston, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, said on Friday the administration had the discretion to also tap a separate fund holding around $23 billion.
Patrick Penn, deputy under secretary for food, nutrition, and consumer services at the USDA, said in a court filing the agency is carefully considering using those funds but determined they must remain available for child nutrition programs instead of SNAP.
