The House on Thursday passed an energy package that was the Republican conference’s top legislative priority, sending the measure to the Senate where the Democratic leader has said it is “dead-on-arrival.” The legislation, titled the Lower Energy Costs Act, passed in a 225-204 vote. Four Democrats — including Reps. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Henry Cuellar (Texas), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.) and Jared Golden (Maine) — voted in favor of the bill. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) was the only Republican to vote against it. Broadly, the bill seeks to bolster fossil fuel production and exports, as well as domestic mining. It also...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that if former President Donald Trump won the presidency, his second term would “begin at the point of an insurrection.” Host Jim Sciutto said, “I want to ask you now about the ongoing investigations of the former President Donald Trump, of course, were a key member of the January 6 Committee. We now have the former vice president who will have to testify for him regarding his conversations with the former president.

ORLANDO, FL — Amid an escalating feud with Ron DeSantis, Disney dealt a devastating blow to the Governor by changing the requirements on all their attractions so that only people over 6 feet tall may enter. "Come on, guys! I'm almost 6 feet! I'm, like, 5'10" at least! Look at my driver's license!" DeSantis reportedly argued to a park cast member while attempting to board "It's a Small World." But witnesses claim they saw the employee tap a nearby sign to demonstrate that DeSantis was, in actuality, nowhere near tall enough. "Don't make me call park security — I...

NEW YORK (AP) — As Hollywood emerged from the pandemic, its biggest film productions dipped in diversity after years of incremental progress, according to a new study by UCLA researchers. Opportunities were notably greater for women and people of color on streaming platforms than in theatrically released films. The annual UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report, published Thursday, presented one of the most detailed looks yet at how the film industry was shaped and, in many ways, set back during the pandemic. In analyzing 2022 movie releases, academics found that ethnic and gender inclusivity in theatrical films reverted back to 2019 or...

Is Nikki Haley a true conservative, an establishment politician or something else entirely? That’s the question many conservatives have been asking since Haley officially announced she is running for president in February. Haley served as governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017 and as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Trump. We can’t recall another Republican politician who has garnered such a mixed response from conservatives. Almost everyone in the conservative media and public policy world seems to have an opinion about Haley. But once pressed to explain the reasons behind those opinions, very few seem prepared...

It’s obvious things have gotten bad when President Joe Biden’s talking points are being undercut by one of his most ardent lapdog economists. Biden took to the press podium March 13 to congratulate himself on his administration’s wild efforts to secure the deposits at Silicon Valley Bank following its historic collapse. Biden attempted to dismiss any notion that what he was pushing was a government bailout. “No losses will be — and this is an important point — no losses will be borne by the taxpayers. Let me repeat that. No losses will be borne by the taxpayers,” Biden claimed....

VIDEOIt has already hit the fan for ActBlue thanks to the new O'Keefe Media Group which revealed a MASSIVE money laundering operation by that organization. As a result ActBlue liberals are about to have their world DESTROYED. In fact, as you can see, the Maryland Administrator of Elections has already had her world DESTROYED.
