The Democratic Party ratings have collapsed from a 47% favorable down to 29, 27 in some of these polls,...

Liberal TV host Bill Maher is reportedly going to visit the White House to meet President Trump. This is kind of amazing. Maher has had Trump Derangement Syndrome for years, although, to his credit, he has been a little bit better in recent months than he was during Trump’s first term. The big meeting is apparently being arranged by Kid Rock, who is a Trump supporter and has repeatedly appeared on Maher’s show. Who knows? This could end up turning Maher around. President Trump has a great record of changing people’s minds when they get a chance to meet him...

As previously reported, DOGE official Jeremy Lewin took a senior leadership position at USAID as a radical judge ruled Elon Musk and DOGE likely violated the US Constitution when it shut down the agency. On Tuesday Theodore Chuang, an Obama appointee, ordered Elon Musk and DOGE to reinstate all of USAID’s functionality. The lawsuit was brought by current and former USAID workers. Judge Chuang said DOGE’s decision to shut down USAID violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause and the Separation of Powers. The plaintiffs argued that Elon Musk is operating with unchecked power since he is not Senate-confirmed — and that...

A Republican lawmaker is demanding that the man responsible for leaking President Donald Trump’s tax returns in 2019 testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Responsible for one of the largest data breaks in the Internal Revenue Service’s history, the ex-IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for leaking the tax documents of roughly 400,000 wealthy Americans – including Trump – to media outlets in 2019 and 2020. Littlejohn’s short sentence results from the DOJ charging him with only one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax information and then offering a plea deal, which Republicans blasted as...

President Trump’s second term in office has been off to a frenzied start, with much of his actions revoking Biden-era proposals and policies. The 46th president exceeded expectations for the depths he was willing to go with last-minute, perplexing decisions such as the one to advance a Food and Drug Administration proposal to establish nicotine limits for tobacco products. It was a final disappointment in a presidency full of them and a final parting gift to cartels and lawbreakers.However, President Biden’s blunder allows Mr. Trump to fix this mistake and chart a more productive path.The proposed regulation would mandate a...

Public education is facing a crisis as mass teacher layoffs sweep across the country.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) warned "Trump is provoking the folks who depend on the government taking care of them to rise up and strike back. By breaking the covenant between them and the government they've relied on their whole lives he's put them in a desperate situation where their only option is to fight back." "Just think of the single moms who need money to take care of their children," Waters urged. "The retirees waiting for their Social Security checks to put food on the table. The government employees who depend on their paychecks to support themselves and their families....
