The plans follow campaign promises from President-elect Trump and a congressional probe into U.S. Capitol Police and January 6. Donald Trump and his political allies are promising law enforcement reforms and to fight crime in Washington, D.C., when he takes office again in January.

Once Donald Trump is inaugurated as our 47th U.S. president, Tesla, SpaceX, and X/Twitter CEO Elon Musk will likely head a Department of Government Efficiency commission (DOGE). Teaming up with tech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, this dynamic duo will focus on “drastic reforms” targeting “the entire federal government.”Already there is talk that Musk and Ramaswamy have identified work-at-home policies for federal workers in an effort to trim $2 billion of bloat from the budget. One area they are targeting is waste at the Veterans Administration.You might not support the movement to “transition” our country to electric vehicles. But you must be...

An unbelievably explosive exchange erupted in the House of Representatives this morning involving disgraced acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe and a Texas Republican congressman. As the New York Post reported, Rep. Pat Fallon read Rowe the riot act during a hearing on the two assassination attempts against Donald Trump. After slamming Rowe for waiting multiple days before visiting the Butler, Pa., the site where Trump was nearly gunned down by a Democrat donor named Thomas Crooks in July, things then took an even uglier turn when Fallon displayed a picture of Trump and Biden at Ground Zero. “Do you...

What are the chances Nancy Pelosi purchased $250,000 of Palo Alto Networks on the same day there was a cybersecurity breach at United Healthcare? Then she makes big money when that is one of the companies tasked with investigating what happened. Then the person who would be able to expose her likely criminal activity was assassinated outside his hotel today. What a coincidence! Right before the Trump DOJ would have a chance to investigate everything.

The director of the U.S. Secret Service and a Texas congressman got into a screaming match Thursday during a hearing on the agency's failures leading to two assassination attempts against President-elect Trump. Acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe shouted at Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, after the GOP lawmaker lambasted the service for security lapses that made Trump a target of two failed shooting attempts. "You're out of line, congressman!" Rowe yelled at Fallon.

Donald Trump may have mastered the art of the deal once again, with rumors he will replace Pete Hegseth with Ron DeSantis as his pick to head Defense in exchange for Trump's daughter-in-law Lara getting Florida's open Senate seat. The Florida governor and Trump have reportedly had one-on-one discussions about the move. A GOP source told The Bulwark: 'These discussions are real. It's serious. I can't say it's definitely going to happen, but the governor is receptive and Trump is serious, too.'

Tell us something we didn't already know! (Yes, I'm stealing from paying homage to Wizard of Id. Sue me, peasants!)The first effects of a Democrat adjustment to their crushing loss in the presidential election may come in the chamber where they actually managed to hold serve. The New York Times reports that backbenchers may give their entrenched leadership the heave-ho in the next session of Congress to muscle up for the first two years of the Donald Trump restoration. House Judiciary chair Jerrold Nadler is their first target, but not their last:House Democrats are considering pushing aside some of their...

The race in California's 13th Congressional District is between Democrat Adam Gray and Republican John Duarte, the incumbent

Democrats long ago became convinced that the January 6, 2021, Capitol "insurrection," coupled with desperate attempts to convince a majority of Americans that President-elect Donald Trump is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, or at least a "fascist," and that Trump loyalists are white-supremacist "Nazis," would virtually guarantee Democrat succession of Democrat of President Joe Biden. Boy, oh boy, how wrong and misguided they were. The House January 6 Committee Report.. As described by George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turl(''): Whether you refer to that day as a riot or an insurrection puts you on one side or...

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said Friday that he doesn't plan to rejoin Congress after he withdrew his name from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations. "I'm still going to be in the fight, but it's going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress," Gaetz said in an interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. “There are a number of fantastic Floridians who stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said Friday he will not return to Congress after resigning his House seat last week, despite having withdrawn from consideration to be President-elect Trump’s attorney general — but added he is “not going anywhere.” “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz told conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, later adding it is a “pretty poetic time” to allow Florida’s 1st District to have new representation. There were questions about whether Gaetz may try to return to Capitol...

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican Nick Begich has won Alaska’s U.S. House race, defeating Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola to claim the seat once held by his grandfather.

Wednesday marked the deadline for elections officials to receive ballots mailed from overseas for the...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @RepMTG Here’s my women’s bathroom proposal: Instead of making a trans bathroom, we should make a Republican women’s bathroom and a Democrat women’s bathroom, so all the Democrat women who agree with men using the women’s bathroom can share their bathroom with the mentally ill trans biological men that they support. But NO biological men, no matter what level of dress up they play, are allowed in the Republican women’s bathroom. 9:21 AM · Nov 20, 2024 · 1.6M Views

Rep. Nancy Mace is pushing for the new rule ahead of the arrival of Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride, who will take office in January as the first openly-trans lawmaker in the United States.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a resolution Monday that would ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol just weeks before Democratic Rep.-elect Sarah McBride of Delaware is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress. The measure would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Asked by reporters whether her resolution was meant to target a marginalized person, Mace said, “Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this.” “This is a biological man trying to force himself into women’s spaces, and I’m...
