Driving the news: In a whip question sent to House Democrats on Saturday night, a copy of which was obtained by Axios, House Minority Leader Katherine Clark's (D-Mass.) office said lawmakers are "urged to VOTE NO" on the four-page bill.

That means Democratic leadership will officially send their whip team to try to get as many of their members as possible to vote against the bill. The whip question noted that "16 other jurisdictions across the U.S. have enacted similar provisions" allowing non-citizen voting and that "nearly all House Democrats have voted in the past in support of D.C.'s right for self-governance and statehood." "House Republicans are once again attempting to undermine the political self-determination of the nearly 700,000 residents of Washington, D.C.," it added. Zoom in: The vote, slated for either Wednesday or Thursday, will mark the second time House Republicans have tried to overturn non-citizen voting in D.C.

A cadre of former Trump administration officials, Trump supporters and conservative immigration wonks are writing executive orders, policy memos and other documents in a bid to transform campaign rhetoric into policy. The goal, the people said, is to be ready on the first day of a Trump presidency to stem the flow of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, unwind President Biden’s immigration agenda and lay the groundwork for what the former president has said would be the largest mass deportation in U.S. history.

Pro-Israel House Democrats have expressed solidarity with the embattled nation while Biden and progressive lawmakers have shown skepticism, if not outrage, over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to invade Rafah. In a rebuke to the White House, House Democrats teamed up with Republicans to pass the bill to force Biden's hand, highlighting the precarious position some left-leaning lawmakers find themselves in over their support for Israel.

“Crooked Joe Biden does not want RFK Jr. in the debates because Junior’ is far left [like] him and they would be debating over the same territory, like ridiculous Open Borders and the Green New Scam, both of which are killing our Country,” Trump declared on Truth Social Thursday.

“He’s also sharper and far more intelligent than Joe, all making for a bad combination of ingredients,” Trump added, going on to point out RFK Jr. should be able to join the debate even though he doesn’t meet requirements.

The Biden name is everything to this man. He believes that name, with him as the figurehead, is worth its weight in gold. You and me? We laugh at that. He might be more of a footnote in history than some of you reading this. But it's why the Biden name is sold for access the world over, according to what we've seen from Hunter Biden's laptop and associates like Tony Bobulinski. Biden believes his name and lineage are powerful, and that has given him a modern "divine right to rule" idea in his head.

The latest polling in the six battleground states likely to decide the presidential race — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — doesn't paint a rosy picture for Biden.

A new New York Times/Sienna survey, which sampled more than 4,000 people across the swing states, had Trump winning five of them among registered voters. A Bloomberg News poll last month similarly found Biden trailing Trump in six of seven swing states (they also polled North Carolina).

Of course, Biden doesn't have to believe the polls. He is effective in his position because he believes the narrative wholeheartedly, either out of the internal beliefs that he has wrapped himself to shield himself from criticism, or because his mental faculties are too diminished to see outside of his carefully constructed reality.

Donald Trump will also debate Joe Biden on ABC News on September 10th.

ABC has yet to announce its moderators.

In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump accepted the revised schedule: “I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September,” adding that he would “strongly recommend” more than the two debates proposed. A senior Trump adviser told CNN they are “ready to debate” Biden, and reviewing the terms but are eager for an onstage match-up.

They used mail-in ballots with no Voter ID; ballot drop boxes with no oversight; ballot harvesting- a scam that is illegal in every other country in the world; no signature match; and millions of illegal aliens voted too. Without Voter ID and no one asking about citizenship at the polls, it’s easy.

That’s exactly how the 2020 election was stolen. Old decrepit dementia puppet Biden told us what they planned to do, and they did it.

Biden also said two other telling things. He said that speaking Spanish is “America’s Future.” And he said the millions of illegal aliens who have crossed his open border into America are “the only reason our economy’s so good.”

Oh my God.

Out of “the mouth of babes” comes truth. This is the Democrat’s new updated plan to intentionally destroy America. Biden just told you.

Why? Because they're good at swimming!

(No really, that's what he said.) How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards — and the only obstacle is that we won't give them the right to work to become a lifeguard," the mayor said. "That just doesn't make sense."

But we shouldn't be surprised when the Rio Grande gets turned into an obstacle course to ensure that New York City keeps getting the best of the best.

You can’t make this up. I’m not even going to come up with any jokes. The fact that he said this in a way he thinks is helpful and/or virtuous is a joke unto itself.

Adams said what he said during a City Hall briefing, according to the New York Post, and was alluding to expediting work visas for the criminal invaders.

Reflecting a broader societal issue, Larson emphasized the disparity in how such cases are perceived and addressed, suggesting that if the roles were reversed, with Christian students attacking a Muslim child, the public and media outcry would be significantly greater. This points to a perceived double standard in the handling of similar cases, depending on the backgrounds of those involved.

“Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Vice-Presidential Candidate Nicole Shanahan today visited the Texas Secretary of State office and turned in 245,572 signatures — twice as many as are required — to gain ballot access in Texas,” RFK Jr.’s campaign stated in a press release.

“Today, Nicole and I turned in 245,572 signatures — twice as many as are required — to gain ballot access in Texas. Thank you Lone Star State,” RFK Jr. said.

The red cards, viewed by Fox News Digital, explain how someone in the U.S. illegally can avoid immigration agents that are asking them questions or showing up at their door.

When asked about the distribution of such cards, Allred did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door," the first instruction reads.

"DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent," says another.

Also included on the card distributed by Allred, "do not sign anything" and "if you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly."

The cards are a product of the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a group backed by the Open Society Foundations, which was founded by top-Democrat donor George Soros.

The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.

Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”

Bragg’s biased prosecutors called in the final witnesses to testify on Friday after Stormy blew it on the witness stand this week.

Trump walked out of the courthouse with a stack of news articles in hand and went off on the crooked judge’s gag order. He also blasted Joe Biden.

Trump said he’s willing to go to jail for the Constitution.

“The judge is corrupt. The whole thing is fake,” Trump said flanked by his lawyer Todd Blanche. “The judge wants to put me in jail. I would be very proud to go to jail for our Constitution.”

Trump also trashed Joe Biden: “Biden lies about everything, including his golf game!”

Burnett pointed out that the economy is the most important issue for voters.

“It’s also true, Mr. President those voters, by a wide margin, trust Trump more on the economy. They say that in polls,” Erin Burnett said.

She continued, “The cost of buying a home in the United States is double – if you look at what it was, the monthly costs before the pandemic.”

“Real income, when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office,” Burnett said. “Economic growth last week, far short of expectations.”

“Consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a two-year a low. With less than 6 months until Election Day, are you worried that you are running out of time to turn that around?” Erin Burnett asked Biden.

“I’ve never failed! I’ve created over 15 million jobs!” Biden said referring to people going back to work after Democrats forcefully closed businesses during the Covid pandemic.

Biden hasn’t created a single job. Last year it was reported month after month that foreign-born workers were taking all the jobs while native born Americans lost their jobs.

Sam Hickman is reportedly humiliated that his fiancé “cheated with a little kid.”

Madison Bergmann was arrested after a boy’s father found text messages on his phone of her telling him how much she loved when he kissed and touched her.

Wisconsin police also found love notes from the teacher to her student talking about all the times they kissed.

Bergmann faces one count of first-degree child sexual assault. She was released from jail on $25,000 signature bond. She will be back in court later this month.

Footage of the canine posted on the company’s website shows it scurrying and leaping across a variety of terrain, from woodland to snow, while shooting out streams of fire.

Weighing in at 2st 9lb, and under one square foot in diameter, the robot can be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a battery life of up to one hour.

With SB 1718 now recording the costs to the Sunshine State in real-time, it is clear that the costs of caring for indigent illegals are quickly adding up. To name just a few, according to the state’s reporting website, MyFlorida.com, Broward County has lost $43,056,022 so far in 2024 to the unpaid medical expenses for illegals. Duval has suffered a loss of $31,439, 143, Hillsborough’s loss is at $58,822,134, Orange stands at $58,328,521, and Miami-Dade has lost a whopping $231,804,144.

According to the reporting website, the estimated costs to care for illegal aliens have totaled more than $566 million to date.

In a new filing Friday, Smith’s team said that the order of documents in some of the boxes of memos that were seized by the FBI from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was altered or jumbled, leaving two different chronologies: one that was digitally scanned and another the physical order in the boxes.

“The news is not great for President Biden,” Hunt began.

“Trump’s margin over Biden is significantly boosted in both states by people who say they did not vote in 2020.”

The poll also revealed low approval ratings for Biden’s job performance in both states, with significant numbers of voters expressing dissatisfaction with his policies and negative views of his sharpness and stamina.

The results indicate a remarkable turn in fortune for Trump against a struggling Biden, with the former leading in several swing states and among independent voters.

As with any public appearance by Biden, the event offered ample evidence of his senility. At one point, he appeared to forget what he was there for, perhaps mistakenly thinking he was awarding the Medal of Honor to someone.
