Deep state whistleblower Edward Snowden may be getting a new lease on life. The famous fugitive, who has been living in Russia since 2013 after leaking classified National Security Agency documents showing the US was engaged in a massive surveillance program, has been a cause célèbre among left-wing and free speech activists, but has received a chillier reception from Republicans. But Snowden has some powerful allies in President-elect Trump’s cabinet, insiders told The Post. Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, co-sponsored a resolution in September 2020 calling on the United States to drop all charges against...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office has launched a crackdown on male athletes in girls’ sports after a Dallas Independent School District (ISD) official was caught on video promoting “loopholes” to violate state laws. On Friday, Paxton’s office announced that Dallas ISD has agreed to an order to ensure the district is not violating state law by allowing male athletes to claim they’re “transgender girls.” The agreement comes after Paxton requested records from Dallas ISD in February. Paxton made the request after a video emerged showing a school district official explaining “loopholes” to a parent. The officials told the parent...

On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Anne Traum lifted the 1991 injunction barring enforcement of Nevada’s requirement that parents be notified when their minor children seek an abortion. In a 27-page decision, Judge Traum ruled in Glick v. Ford that the parental notice provision will go into effect on April 30. Melissa Clement, Executive Director of Nevada Right to Life, which provided vital financial support for the litigation, said “For 40 years, young girls have been exploited in secrecy, their suffering ignored while those in power turned a blind eye. Today, that silence is broken. Parents will finally be involved,...

Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a forceful attack on members of the federal judiciary Sunday, accusing judges of overstepping their authority and obstructing President Donald Trump’s policy agenda. During a Fox News interview on Sunday Morning Futures, Bondi said recent rulings against key administration initiatives reflect a judiciary that is “out of control.” Bondi specifically criticized federal judges who have paused or struck down Trump-era policies, including deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, environmental funding rollbacks, and bans affecting transgender military service. “This is an out-of-control judge, a federal judge, trying to control our entire foreign policy, and he cannot...

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has issued an order stopping Planned Parenthood abortion facilities from dispensing dangerous abortion drugs. The action comes one week after Bailey’s office warned Planned Parenthood of the pending cease and desist order after the abortion business failed to have an approved complication plan to protect women. A recent New York Times piece exposed how Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, also endangers women and girls with shoddy “care,” including botched abortions, an IUD inserted in a pregnant woman who ended up suffering a stillbirth, sewage leaking into a recovery room and more. Sue Liebel,...

Attorney General Pam Bondi personally removed newly-installed large framed photos from a wall in the Justice Department of former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Harris, and former Attorney General Garland, sources confirmed to Breitbart News. The removal of the images comes after President Donald Trump’s political opponents tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, assassinate him, remove him from the ballot, and make him politically irrelevant by introducing a partisan committee to investigate January 6. […] Holdover employees from Biden’s DOJ installed the images of the Democrats just three weeks after Trump took office, but Bondi, recently confirmed as Trump’s...

Isn't accepting bribes a crime? I always thought it was.

Hours after she was sworn in, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the Justice Department to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities, according to a report. Among several directives issued Wednesday, Bondi charged the DOJ with identifying and evaluating funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations that provide support to undocumented immigrants, Fox News Digital first reported. She also tasked the department with investigating instances of sanctuary jurisdictions obstructing law enforcement and “directing they be prosecuted, when necessary,” the outlet wrote. Several offices within the Justice Department provided $1.56 billion in grants to sanctuary cities in 2023, according to the think tank...

The Senate voted late Tuesday to confirm Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, voting 54-46 to install the longtime prosecutor and former Florida attorney general to head the U.S. Department of Justice. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., bucked his party to make the vote bipartisan. He was the only Democrat to join Republicans in support of the nominee. Bondi's confirmation comes as both the Justice Department and FBI have been under scrutiny by Democrats in Congress who have raised concerns over Trump's recent decision to pardon or commute the sentences of 1,600 defendants in the Jan. 6, 2021,...

Vote just occurred, confirmed 54-46 All Republicans in favor, all Democrats against except for Fetterman

First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a group of pregnancy resource centers in New Jersey, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider its case about the state asking it to disclose information about its donors. In November 2023, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin demanded that First Choice turn over many documents, including information it provides to clients, statements about abortion pill reversal, documents about personnel and outside organizations with which it works, and donor information. Platkin has openly expressed his hostility toward pregnancy centers. “He issued a consumer alert—drafted with the help of Planned Parenthood—complaining that such centers do...

A committee spokesperson told Breitbart News the delay is due to Democrats on the panel but did not pinpoint which Democrat it is. President Donald Trump has been adamant that the Senate must confirm all his nominees to ring in the “Golden Age of America” and end President Joe Biden’s agenda. The committee’s notice reads: Per Judiciary Committee Rule I.3, any member of the Committee may request an item on the Committee’s agenda be held over for a minimum of seven days. Holds are common practice in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Pursuant to this rule, the Minority will hold Bondi’s...

Kamala Harris has strong ties to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves and his activist wife. Which is why a Harris Department of Justice could be more dangerous than Biden's DOJ. Democrats ended their four-day convention on Thursday with a vacuous speech by the party’s installed candidate, Kamala Harris. Her short stint on the main stage made the regime media, which has blessed her with 84 percent positive news coverage since the Pelosi coup according to one analysis, drunk with joy. Harris, like the roster of speakers before her, spent most of the speech demonizing her general...

Whether Donald Trump realizes it or not, Republicans did him a favor by making clear that former Rep. Matt Gaetz was unconfirmable as U.S. Attorney General. On Monday the House Ethics Committee released a 37-page report from its misconduct inquiry into Mr. Gaetz, which found “substantial evidence” of drug use, prostitution, and statutory rape. “The Committee heard testimony from over half a dozen witnesses who attended parties, events, and trips with Representative Gaetz from 2017-2020,” it says. “Nearly every young woman that the Committee interviewed confirmed that she was paid for sex by, or on behalf of, Representative Gaetz.” Some...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said she hopes President-elect Trump’s attorney general pick, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, will aim to “uphold the Constitution” if the Senate confirms her for the position. “Pam Bondi will have a hearing and will be able to make her views clear. I think the things that I look at, is this someone competent? And are they going to uphold the law? It is so important,” Klobuchar said Sunday on ABC News’s “This Week.”

The political landscape erupted Thursday evening as President Donald Trump announced Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida and a staunch Trump ally, as his nominee for the next Attorney General of the United States. Bondi’s nomination follows Rep. Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal, a decision that shocked many in the conservative base. In his official statement, President Trump lauded Bondi’s impressive record as a prosecutor and her leadership as Florida’s first female Attorney General: “I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States. Pam was...

The infuriating story of the Matt Gaetz nomination is a learning opportunity, President Trump nominated Congressman Gaetz to be Attorney General, and the deep state understandably went ballistic, because Gaetz doesn’t mind making enemies; he would clearly enjoy doing exactly what needs to be done at the Dept of Justice. There are four broad categories that must be fixed at Justice: It has too many bureaus, too many agencies, some of which are outright destructive. Most department heads zealously defend the size of their budgets and sizes, even if they want to retool them. A good AG will make the...
