The lawmaker said at a meeting on Wednesday afternoon that increasing the heat during the confirmation hearings would help to provoke negative press for the incoming Republican administration, according to a report from Axios. “Republicans spent four years attacking the Democratic brand, and we need to use the hearings to begin returning the favor,” the lawmaker reportedly said. Schumer also told members of the Democratic...

The Biden administration on Friday announced it would extend the temporary legal status of nearly 1 million immigrants from El Salvador, Sudan, Ukraine and Venezuela, utilizing a program that is expected to be curtailed by the incoming Trump administration.

The decision is set to benefit roughly 234,000 Salvadorans; 1,900 Sudanese; 104,000 Ukrainians;...

X owner Elon Musk has put the propaganda powerhouse that America’s most notorious billionaire George Soros runs on full blast, and he is right to do so. Swedish journalist Peter Imanuelsen criticized in a Jan. 9 X post, “Why does the mainstream media never talk about how George Soros is a threat to democracy?” Musk didn’t pull any punches in his response, “Because they are his lapdogs.” This is not hyperbole. MRC Business research has repeatedly exposed the ungodly fortune that Soros has poured into influencing the global information sphere. This insulates Soros’s grossly anti-American agenda from media scrutiny,

The entire political leadership in California deserves to be in jail. Okay, maybe that’s too much, but everyone must be fired. As the media focuses on the raging wildfires engulfing Los Angeles County, the lack of water and firefighters, and Mayor Karen Bass being in Africa when the blaze erupted, we have new developments on how this top-down failure in disaster response came about. Bass was already torched for cutting almost $20 million from the Los Angeles Fire Department a few months ago. The city opted to use that money to support transgender cafes, weirdo lefty-wing art, and gay choirs...
