Joe Biden is considering an executive order that would grant amnesty to the more than 1 million illegal immigrants who married U.S. citizens but were barred from receiving green cards. The President is looking at taking further actions to address both the southern border crisis and illegal immigrants living in the U.S. ahead of the 2024 election as a large chunk of Americans rank the issue as their top priority. Although immigrants, even those living in the U.S. illegally, are typically able to gain citizenship when they marry American citizens there are a number of reasons why they may have...

The Biden administration finalized its much-anticipated Title IX rules Friday morning, overturning much of the Trump-era rules and expanding the definition of sex to include transgender identities. The new rules only pertain to the sexual harassment and discrimination portions of Title IX, while an open rulemaking process is set to address issues with transgender participation in sports. The sports rules are not likely to be finalized until after the 2024 election. Much of the redefinition of sex is fueled by the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, where Justice Neil Gorsuch applied an expansive claimed gender identity framework...

President Joe Biden Wednesday said he would never stop fighting for hardworking Americans as he put the spotlight on his debt cancellation efforts and ramps up his reelection campaign. He slammed MAGA Republicans and said even the Supreme Court could not stop him for helping hundreds of thousands of people saddled with years of debt. And he said he was not worried about further court challenges to his massive forgiveness program.

Remember Seth Rich, the DNC staffer who perished under highly questionable circumstances several years ago, whom many have speculated may have been the Wikileaks source for the DNC email hack of 2016?

Attorney General Merrick Garland sits down with CNN's Evan Perez to discuss the DOJ report detailing police failures in response to 2022 Uvalde, Texas, school shooting.

It’s not really an exaggeration (if at all) to say that every single day we hear from Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Joe Scarborough, the media, and others about how dangerous President Trump is—ad nauseam they declare how “like Hitler” he is. And, it seems every single day, Joe Biden issues some new executive order or regulation assaulting our freedoms and our prosperity. He knows he can’t get his radical agenda through Congress so he just goes around them. He violates his oath of office by not only refusing to enforce immigration laws that Congress passed, but sabotaging our sovereignty too.It...

White House spokespeople Karine Jean-Pierre and Andrew Bates violated the Hatch Act when they had been warned against using the word 'MAGA' to describe certain Republicans, a government watchdog agency said on Friday. The independent Office of Special Counsel said the two took actions 'contrary' to official guidance on the law when they slammed 'MAGA' Republicans' budget plan this year. In their letter, first reported by NBC News, the office notes the violations came days after Jean-Pierre was warned she had violated the law intended to prevent federal employees from using their offices to influence elections....

Kentucky Republican Rand Paul warned of a little-known federal law that allows the president of the United States to shut down the internet with a “kill switch.” Paul warned that the government’s ” emergency powers ” can remove freedoms in the name of safety and security, including an internet “kill switch” to turn off the Internet. “We’ve also looked at the emergency powers and emergency powers — you know the courts have said you don’t throw out the Constitution during emergencies — but a lot of our legislation acts as if you could throw things away,” Paul told Atlas on...

RNC Research I wrote earlier about a couple of the teaser clips from the "60 Minutes" interview with Joe Biden.Those were bad, but the complete interview was even worse. First, we should note that there was a little bit of water-carrying for Joe Biden with host Scott Pelley saying that the president was fitting them into his busy schedule on Thursday. Can't make it up.@60Minutes's @ScottPelley carrying water for Biden before the interview even airs.Pelley claims Biden had to "wedge" the interview into his busy schedule.He had a 10am briefing and a 4:30 meeting that day. That's it. pic.twitter.com/i7Fb26TmpN— Mark...

Credit: RNC ResearchJoe Biden provided a reprieve from the news surrounding Israel's fight against Hamas on Saturday evening as he delivered a buffet of senility during his latest speech. The president was appearing at the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner when things went downhill. It's worth noting that the HRC is a rabidly anti-Israel (and anti-conservative) organization that has sought to make excuses for Hamas, but regardless, that's not what this piece is about. Rather, we are here to discuss how this man is still president. Biden's brain malfunctions in real-time pic.twitter.com/7flOzpZl31— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 14, 2023The crowd does...

The Supreme Court on Oct. 6 lifted a lower court order blocking the Biden administration’s rule regulating so-called ghost guns that can be assembled at home, allowing the policy to remain in force until Oct. 16. The new order from Justice Samuel Alito came late in the day on Oct. 6 in an emergency application in a case known as Garland v. Blackhawk Manufacturing Group Inc. (court file 23A302). U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland filed the application on behalf of the Biden administration. The lower court order is now administratively stayed until 5 p.m. on Oct. 16.

The Biden administration announced its latest regulatory action targeting home appliances late Friday, this time targeting popular home gas-powered furnaces. The Department of Energy (DOE) said the energy efficiency regulations would slash household utility costs by $1.5 billion on an annual basis while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector. The proposal, according to the agency, require non-weatherized gas furnaces and those used in mobile homes to achieve a far higher level of efficiency than cheaper models on the market. "At the direction of Congress, DOE is continuing to review and finalize energy standards for household appliances, such as...

Biden launched the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention on Sept. 22, as part of his administration's effort to "combat the epidemic of gun violence that is tearing our families, our communities, and our country apart." Officially helmed by Vice President Kamala Harris, the initiative will be led in part by Greg Jackson, the former executive director of the left-wing Community Justice Action Fund. The president lauded Jackson and Rob Wilcox, whom Biden also tapped for the office, for "being advocates for change." But the change Jackson advocates for puts him at odds with a major White House stance....

When President Joe Biden announces the new executive-level Office of Gun Violence Prevention on Friday, he will name Vice President Kamala Harris as the one to oversee the office, according to Politico. On September 19, 2023, Breitbart News noted that Biden would be announcing the creation of the new office on Friday. Information from the Washington Post indicated the office will operate as a coordinated effort between the “White House, the Community Justice Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety.” Shannon Watts, a Mike Bloomberg affiliate who founded Moms Demand Action, praised the creation of the Office of Gun Violence...

The Biden administration has been blasted over plans to send out a letter to many of the major news organizations across the country demanding they probe the 'lies' of the House GOP's impeachment inquiry. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced an official impeachment inquiry on Tuesday over allegations of corruption and involvement in son Hunter's business dealings, setting off fiery reactions from Democrats. Ian Sams, a special assistant to the president and senior advisor to the White House Counsel's Office, penned a letter to both conservative and liberal-leaning outlets, slated to be distributed Wednesday in an apparent attempt to influence their...

A new proposed rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would increase what is required to obtain a federal firearms license (FFL) for gun sellers across the country -- an attempt to end what gun control advocates term "the gun show loophole." Justice Department officials told reporters that prior to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was signed into law last June, those "engaged in the business" of a firearms dealer were defined broadly. The definition that ATF is proposing is more specific in an effort to better regulate the market in accordance with the new federal...

The Department of Defense (DOD) announced on Thursday that it will begin training Ukrainian pilots and ground crews to fly F-16 fighter jets in Arizona. Last week, the Biden administration approved the sending of the American-made jets to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands, Reuters reported, despite fears that it could trigger fury from Moscow. “We welcome Washington’s decision to pave the way for sending #F16 Fighter Jets to Ukraine,” said the Netherlands’ Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wopke Hoekstra. “Many thanks to [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] for the good and swift cooperation. Now, we will further discuss the subject...

We've had so many concerns about the weaponization of the government under Joe Biden against political opponents and the American people that we now have a House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to deal with those concerns--everything from the lawfare going after former President Donald Trump to going after other Americans, including parents who might raise questions at school board meetings that some on the left don't like. We've seen Biden's FTC trying to go after Elon Musk's Twitter/X platform, now that it is not completely controlled by liberals. Now, there's another stunning action from the...

The Health and Human Services Department and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority on Tuesday announced a $1.5 billion initiative through Project NextGen for its partners to develop the "next generation" of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. Several new COVID-19 variants have emerged and HHS officials said the department is closely monitoring the situation as the vaccines are developed.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich claims he heard through a Washington insider that Monday’s indictment of Donald Trump was thrown into motion last minute at the urging of “somebody” in D.C. “The reaction is so bad on Friday that I am told — this is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening, somebody from Washington called the district attorney in Atlanta and said, ‘You have to indict on Monday. We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Wiess,'” Gingrich alleged, referring to District Attorney Fani Willis. “And she...
