    Michigan Democrat Shri Thanedar opted against forcing vote on his resolution A long-shot effort by Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar to force an impeachment vote against President Donald Trump was abruptly pulled Wednesday evening after a group of Democrats signaled they would vote with Republicans to block the move. Moments before a planned vote on a motion to table Thanedar’s impeachment resolution — a procedure that would have effectively killed it for the time being — the Michigan Democrat reversed course and opted not to call up the resolution for floor consideration. “After talking with many colleagues, I have decided not...

    Bodycam footage of Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver assaulting federal agents / screen image House Speaker Mike Johnson said the three New Jersey Democrats who stormed the ICE facility in Newark last Friday may face disciplinary action. Speaker Johnson said the members of Congress who assaulted ICE agents at the Delaney Hall center may face expulsion from Congress. “Look, there’s three possible disciplinary actions that Congress – that the House can take. You can censure a member and that probably does seem appropriate here. You can kick them off committees… that’s a new tradition adopted by the Democrats or you can...

    Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar on Tuesday moved to force a House vote on his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Thanedar took to the House floor on Tuesday afternoon to notice his seven articles of impeachment as privileged. That means House Republican leaders have two legislative days to bring up the resolution. They are most likely to introduce a motion to table the resolution, which would effectively kill it. Why It Matters Thanedar introduced the articles of impeachment, which accuse Trump of offenses including obstruction of justice, bribery and corruption, and tyrannical overreach, last month. However, few Democrats have...

    Trump’s Riyadh Speech Heralds The End Of Failed Neocon Foreign PolicyTruly looking out for American interests means refraining from trying to remake foreign countries in our own image.In what was probably the most important presidential speech in decades, President Donald Trump repudiated decades of failed interventionist U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East during an official visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday.Not only did Trump lambast neocon “nation-building” in the region, he more or less vowed never to pursue the kinds of neocon misadventures that spilt American blood and treasure over the past 25 years in the insane pursuit...

    Congress already has investigated, and confirmed, that Joe Biden and his family took in tens of millions of dollars while he was vice president or president from what amounted to an influence peddling operation. First Son Hunter Biden was part of the plans, and is described as repeatedly having sold access to his father to foreign interests. Curiously, as that income pipeline no longer exists because the influence collapsed on Biden's departure from the White House, there now are multiple reports that the family is looking for ways to start generating income. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has promised, like in...

    “They’ll find out. They’ll find out.

They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Jeffries said Tuesday when asked how he’d respond if officials arrested or sanctioned Democratic Reps. Rob Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman. “That’s a red line. It’s a red line, it’s very clear.” The three Democrats were inspecting the new ICE facility, which is set to play a...

    Washington Examiner ^ | May 13, 2025 | Paul Bedard
    Gun lobbyists are expressing dismay with a compromise on silencers included in the fast-tracked budget bill and the GOP’s slow-walking of another demand to stop the taxing and registration of commonly owned AR-15 style pistols. On Monday, the House Ways and Means Committee released its plan, and while it stripped a $200 tax on the sale of silencers, it still required registration and sale approval by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. That angered some gun groups who have been calling for an end to the tax and ATF registration of suppressors, which many consider a hearing safety...

    The circumstances ignited by the explosive incident at the ICE facility in New Jersey over the weekend could end up being EVEN MORE CATACLYSMIC than the initial melee. Here’s a quick recap to fill in the gaps before we get to AOC’s increasingly dangerous rhetoric. First, a group of Democratic lawmakers attempted to force their way into an ICE detention facility in New Jersey, ignoring protocol (24 hour notice) and ignoring the Agents’ clear orders to back down. Here’s a scene of the violent chaos intentionally caused by the Democrat lawmakers who showed up at an event where they knew...

    Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) slammed Republicans on Tuesday for proposing major cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps an average of over 42 million Americans purchase food each month. “Folks who paid taxes and played by the rules, expecting that their government will help them if they fall on hard times and you guys want to tell them to all go screw themselves?” he said at a House Agriculture Committee markup meeting...... Experts warn that the bill could lead to more children facing food insecurity just as research shows that work requirements don’t actually lead to a...

    This is Jake Tapper and The New Yorker we're talking about, but if half of this report is true, then holy moly. On Tuesday, The New Yorker published an excerpt from the CNN host's new book, and it's a doozy. Here's the part where Joe Biden didn't remember mega-famous actor George Clooney, a man he'd met numerous times before. I remember being told that I was a domestic extremist who peddles in harmful disinformation if I suggested that a dementia patient was running the country. I’ve been right so many times these past several, maybe even 10 years to the...

    MILWAUKEE —A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on Tuesday. The FBI arrested Dugan on federal obstruction charges last month, after they alleged she helped an undocumented migrant avoid immigration agents who were trying to arrest him after his appearance in her courtroom. In a statement to WISN 12 News, Dugan's legal team said, "Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court." She is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. The state supreme court suspended the judge from the bench. Dugan is not currently hearing cases.

    Republican Iowa Sens. Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley called on the Justice Department Monday to hold Biden-era Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives officials accountable for allegedly orchestrating an “illegal scheme” to “misclassify” administrative positions as law enforcement ones for greater pay and benefits. “We raised concerns because as a result of ATF’s illegal conduct, ATF staff assigned to these positions performed administrative work but unlawfully received enhanced law enforcement pay and benefits to which they were not entitled, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars,” Ernst and Grassley wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, ATF Acting Director...

    Gone are rules banning a wide swath of gas stoves. Gone are the strict water standards governing dishwashers and shower heads. And gone is the government-wide effort to force electrification of the economy through appliance regulations. It is all part of a historic action the Trump administration announced Monday, reversing dozens of energy regulations, saving consumers more than $11 billion, and cutting more than 125,000 words from the United States Code of Regulations. As part of the Department of Energy's sweeping action unveiled Monday, it will rescind dozens of energy efficiency regulations targeting common household appliances that the Biden administration...

    House Republicans are proposing to bar most non-citizens from receiving taxpayer-funded benefits, including food stamps, in President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.” GOP lawmakers are pursuing an extensive overhaul of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help offset the cost of the president’s tax priorities. The House Agriculture Committee will include a provision in their draft bill to restrict SNAP benefits to those who are citizens or lawful permanent residents following Republican Illinois Rep. Mary Miller’s request to the panel to prohibit certain non-citizens from receiving food stamps. “Taxpayer-funded benefits like SNAP are intended for Americans in need,...
  • Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship heads to the Supreme Court [Tuesday]

    For more than 150 years, almost all people who were born within U.S. territory automatically received citizenship – regardless of their parents’ immigration status. President Donald Trump’s January 2025 executive order on birthright citizenship – stating that children born in the U.S. to parents who are not in the country legally, or who are not permanent residents, cannot receive citizenship – threatens to upend this precedent. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the case on May 15, 2025. This comes after federal judges in three cases that took place in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington banned Trump’s order...

    Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom is under new federal scrutiny as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opens an investigation into whether the state improperly funneled taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens. The DHS probe, led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Los Angeles, focuses on the state’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) — a 100 percent state-funded program designed to provide monthly benefits to non-citizens ineligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to their immigration status. According to a Title 8 subpoena issued by HSI Los Angeles, federal officials are demanding records from the Los...

    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is leading Republican Sen. John Cornyn by double digits in the 2026 Texas Senate race, according to a recent Republican primary poll. Paxton is ahead of Cornyn by 16 percentage points — 56% to 40% — in a two-way poll commissioned by the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), Punchbowl News first reported on Monday.

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday reported "substantial progress" in U.S. talks with China's top economic officials to de-escalate a damaging trade war, but offered no details of an agreement reached as two days of negotiations wrapped up in Geneva. Bessent told reporters that details would be announced on Monday and that U.S. President Donald Trump was fully aware of the results of the "productive talks." U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who participated in the talks with Bessent, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng and two Chinese vice ministers, described the conclusion as "a deal we struck with our Chinese partners"...
