The Free Press’s Peter Savodnik spoke to twenty American expats, all men, who have moved to Russia over the past four years.
They told him they moved to Moscow or St. Petersburg or the wild east—Siberia—because they no longer believed the one person they once thought could save America—Donald Trump—could still save it. America, they felt, was beyond saving now.

As the mob invaded Hamilton Hall in the early hours of April 30, a facilities worker was photographed pushing a demonstrator against a wall.
Now, in an exclusive interview with The Free Press, Mario Torres describes the experience of being on duty as protesters stormed the building in the early hours of the morning, breaking glass and barricading the entrances. “We don’t expect to go to work and get swarmed by an angry mob with rope and duct tape and masks and gloves,” he said.

Earlier this month, we brought four debaters to a Dallas stage to discuss the No. 1 issue for American voters: Should the U.S. shut its borders?
Poll after poll indicates that immigration is the top issue for voters in the 2024 election—more important than inflation or the economy. Americans left and right agree that our system is broken. But how do we fix it?
That is the subject of the first installment of our America Debates series. We convened Ann Coulter, Nick Gillespie, Sohrab Ahmari, and Cenk Uygur in Dallas for a deeper discussion about immigration. Some of what the debaters said may offend, but we believe you should hear them out regardless.

Nearly to a person, the NIMBYs in attendance insisted they are ardent supporters of affordable housing. Just “not at the expense,” as one man advised, “of the quality of the people living in the neighborhood.”

- Mosab Hassan Yousef was born in Ramallah to one of the founders of the Islamist movement. Growing up, Mosab embraced his father’s ideology and was arrested by Israeli authorities multiple times, starting at age 10, for crimes like throwing stones at Israeli settlers and purchasing guns. But during a stint in Israeli prison in the late 90s, at age 18, he became an Israeli informant.
Eventually, he became Israel’s most valuable intelligence asset, foiling suicide bombings and other terror attacks. Mosab has since been outspoken about Hamas and radical Islamic terrorism more broadly.
For a while, Mosab stopped doing press and lived a quiet life in California, but on October 7, Mosab decided to speak out again against the terrorist group he knows all too well. Since then, Mosab has been publicly supportive of Israel’s war to remove Hamas from power.
The Free Press contributor Douglas Murray sat down with Mosab in Tel Aviv. They talk about the m...

At the center of the class-action lawsuit is Lia Thomas, the trans athlete who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. The suit states that both the NCAA and Georgia Tech, which hosted the event, knowingly violated Title IX, the federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college education and sports.

- Earlier this year, Bari Weiss and a team of Free Press journalists visited Israel. The result was a series of films, podcasts, and written articles called “FP in Israel.”
Since October 7, poll after poll has found that most ordinary Palestinians support Hamas.
With the war in Gaza raging, and life becoming more miserable for the people, Bari and her team wanted to speak directly with Palestinians about the situation on the ground.
So they visited Ramallah, de facto capital of the West Bank, and to the Qalandia checkpoint, through which thousands of Palestinians cross each day into Jerusalem. They asked Palestinians about October 7, the war, and the future.

- This past Sunday, Bari Weiss gave a speech at 92NY called “The State of World Jewry.” The address is a historic one. Over four decades, it has been delivered by the likes of Elie Wiesel, Abba Eban, Amos Oz, and more.
But for a sense of the state of Jewish life in America these days, you only need to have walked by the building in the hours leading up to and after the speech. You would’ve found that police had cordoned off the entire block and for good reason: anti-Israel protesters, many wearing masks, gathered to intimidate Bari and those who came to the lecture. On the way in, you would’ve been screamed at—told you were a “baby killer” and “genocide supporter” among other choice phrases. You might have even glimpsed Jerry Seinfeld being heckled and called “Nazi scum” on his way out of the talk.
The NYPD and the entire staff of 92NY made sure that everyone who attended the talk was able to do so safely. But everyone must ask themselves...
