Democrats don’t want to admit it publicly, but they are still the same party that tried to ‘Defund the Police’ a few years ago. We know this because last week was National Police Week, and a Republican rep. from Iowa named Zach Nunn introduced a resolution to honor law enforcement officers. 173 Democrats voted against it. Every single Republican voted for it. This would seem to indicate that the Democrats have not changed at all. How else can their behavior be interpreted? FOX News reported: 173 House Democrats vote against resolution honoring police amid rising attacks House Democrats split over...

Ask yourself a question: Why are Democrats so opposed to deporting the millions of illegal migrants who flooded into the country during the Biden administration? They know that illegal immigration propelled Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016. They saw how, after winning back the White House in 2020, Joe Biden’s catastrophic open border policies paved the way for Trump’s return in 2024. And they surely must see the polls showing that Americans overwhelmingly support securing the border and deporting illegal migrants — particularly those with criminal records — even if they disapprove of the way Trump has carried out...

Fairfax County Commonwealth’s attorney Steve Descano testified Thursday that voters are “obtuse” if they expect him to fulfill his campaign promises. Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan got into a heated exchange with Descano after his office removed his immigration policy from his website weeks prior to the hearing before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. Descano said his campaign promises are not actually his policies. “My policies do not say that we do not prosecute based on immigration status,” Descano said. “Well if it’s not your policy, then why did you change your website?” Jordan asked....

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former top aide Dana Williamson pled guilty to federal fraud and tax charges after reaching a deal with prosecutors. Williamson, who was Newsom’s chief of staff from 2022 and 2024 and a top Sacramento power broker, appeared at Robert T. Matsui U.S. Courthouse in Sacramento Thursday to enter her guilty plea to counts of conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, subscribing to a false tax return and making false statements. “Dana Williamson and her co-conspirators weaponized public trust for personal gain,” said FBI Sacramento Special Agent in Charge Sid Patel in a statement. “They stole from...

As fraud concerns ramp up across the country, particularly involving Medicaid, North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek told Fox News Digital the problem is very real in his state, especially when it comes to autism therapy, an area that has been highly scrutinized in Minnesota. Boliek is sounding the alarm on potential waste, fraud and abuse within the state’s Medicaid program, specifically noting in an interview with Fox News Digital a 47,000% explosion in autism therapy billings he has flagged since taking office last year. "Those are vital services to folks and individuals that need that therapy," Boliek said. "But...

The Biden administration’s Department of Justice and FBI were aware that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying “informants” in the KKK — and according to former Obama official Norm Eisen, that apparently means donors have nothing to be upset about. The SPLC (which has spent years demonizing conservatives, including The Federalist) was indicted by a federal grand jury last month for wire fraud and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. The SPLC allegedly funneled millions of dollars it received via donations to pay “a covert network of informants” who were part of “violent extremist groups” such as groups like...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s name appears at least six times in recently resurfaced court documents from the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud case, fueling speculation about whether the Minnesota socialist had a hand in the widespread scam in her district. The documents were part of the 2025 federal trial of Aimee Bock, the founder of the Feeding our Future nonprofit who was convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy, and bribery for masterminding the scheme that falsely claimed to serve millions of meals to children while pocketing federal funds through bogus food sites and shell companies. Bock is in custody awaiting...

Biden administration officials may have sought to dodge public records laws and congressional oversight by classifying taxpayer-backed loans to Planned Parenthood as “Benghazi,” according to findings by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa. Ernst, chairwoman of the Senate Small Business Committee, has been investigating Small Business Administration loans to the nation’s largest abortion provider under the Paycheck Protection Program during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a letter sent Monday to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Ernst asked for a Justice Department investigation “for potential Federal Records Act violation by concealment and/or attempted concealment” of SBA records regarding loans to Planned Parenthood and loan...

In 2019, during the peak hysteria of the Ukraine whistleblower impeachment hoax, I exclusively reported for The Federalist that the Intelligence Community Inspector General secretly gutted internal whistleblower rules requiring firsthand evidence of wrongdoing. I had the whistleblower forms, the revisions, and the dates for all of it, and I conclusively proved all of it. All hell broke loose after I published my report, with Deep State assets and their media lickspittles accusing me of lying, of fabrication, and of botching the facts. I was 100% right, and they all knew it. How do we know this? Because the IG...

Whistleblower admitted on initial form they did not have direct knowledge of Trump's private communications Peter Pinedo By Peter Pinedo Fox News Published April 13, 2026 7:06pm EDT Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified testimony that she alleges shows a "coordinated effort" by the intelligence community to "manufacture a conspiracy" used as the basis of President Donald Trump first impeachment. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Monday released two declassified transcripts from closed-door House Intelligence Committee hearings that Gabbard’s office says show former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson advanced as credible a whistleblower...

Progressive billionaire Tom Steyer has been telling California voters he wants to “abolish ICE” despite investing nearly $90 million in a company behind the state’s largest immigration detention center. The California gubernatorial candidate has tried to swat off that criticism, but in a recent interview with the Sacramento Bee, he said it was a “mistake.” “We never had anything to do with running the company,” Steyer said. “But it was a mistake to think that that was a place where it was decent to make money.” Steyer founded a hedge fund named Farallon Capital Management in 1986. Under his management,...

The shooting of Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez by federal immigration agents on Tuesday is a sickening reminder. It is a sign of what’s to come if California doesn’t do more to protect its communities from government agents behaving like a lawless occupying force

A homeless nonprofit paid the son of San Francisco’s top human rights boss $10,000 to prepare five slides for a panel his mother moderated — as she was signing city contracts worth millions to the organization, according to prosecutors. Sheryl Davis, former head of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, was arrested Monday on a slew of public corruption charges stemming from her time leading the scandal-scarred Dream Keeper initiative, a $120 million plan to aid the city’s black communities. Davis signed city contracts worth more than $3.5 million to Homeless Children’s Network, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that provides substance...

A disgraced San Francisco human rights chief and her longtime beau have been arrested for allegedly grifting taxpayer funds for personal use through a city program intended to help the city’s black communities. Sheryl Davis, former heard of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, and her nonprofit boss partner James Spingola were taken into custody Monday on suspicion of multiple felony counts of misappropriating public funds and conflicts of interest. “Public integrity matters because our communities must be able to trust that government agencies treat everyone fairly and serve all members equally,” said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins at a press...

YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, the independent journalist who shined a light on alleged child care fraud in Minnesota, has set his sights on another Democrat-controlled state: California. His new exposé suggests fraudsters in the Golden State are creating fake hospice businesses by using the Medicare beneficiary numbers of seniors who are actually healthy. California hospice enrollment has inexplicably risen by about 1,000% in recent years, Shirley says. He uncovered what he calls $170 million in suspect billings (he looks at some day care operations, too), and said operators appear to be living large by driving luxury vehicles. “California really...
