Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday excoriated Democrats over reported plans to introduce legislation reforming the Supreme Court, contending that such a move amounted to an attack on the justice system. Reports emerged the same evening that President Joe Biden is planning to endorse reforms to the court, including the implementation of term limits and a code of ethics. Such an effort comes amid longstanding Democratic frustrations with the conservative leaning bench and in the wake of a string of reports highlighting the justices' ethics disclosures. "The Radical Left Democrats are desperately trying to 'Play the Ref' by calling for...

Former President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday months after House Democrats proposed legislation to remove his Secret Service protection. Democrat Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081) on April 19. Democrat Reps. Yvette D. Clarke, Troy A. Carter Sr., Frederica Wilson, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, Barbara Lee, and Steve Cohen co-sposnsored the bill. “Former President Donald J. Trump’s unprecedented 91 felony charges in...

WASHINGTON—An effort by some Democrats to seek an alternative to President Biden as the party’s nominee appeared to flag on Tuesday, with lawmakers signaling no clear path forward after the president made clear he was dead set against stepping aside. House and Senate Democrats held conference meetings for the first time since Biden flopped at the first presidential debate, a debacle for the party that heightened concerns that the 81-year-old incumbent couldn’t beat former President Donald Trump and may not be fit enough for another four years even if he did win. Lawmakers aired their frustrations with their predicament but...

Senator Tom Cotton writes letter to Biden, criticizing his administration for withholding weapons and ammunition from Israel as it continues to battle Hamas.

During the 2016 cycle, Hillary Clinton boasted about how Republicans were probably the enemy she was most proud of making. But now she’s sounding almost envious. While riffing about Democratic failures to defend Roe v. Wade, Clinton, 76, griped that her party sometimes lacks the relentless resolve the right has. “One thing I give the right credit for is they never give up,” she told the New York Times in a recent interview. “They are relentless. You know, they take a loss, they get back up, they regroup, they raise more money.”

The Liberty Justice Center secured a court order temporarily halting enforcement of an Illinois law that Gov. J.B. Pritzker hastily enacted prohibiting candidates that didn't run in the primary from being slated for the November election. Earlier this month, super-majority Democrats in the Illinois legislature approved and the governor signed a mid-election year law ending the slating of candidates. Following a lawsuit, a Sangamon County judge ruled Wednesday that Illinois’ ability to enforce the election law against potential candidates is on hold. Prior to signing the bill, Pritzker called it an “ethics bill.” “It really does make sure that we...

MSNBC host Symone Sanders said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that Democrats “definitely think” there is a path for President Joe Biden and other Democrats to win Florida in the November election. Sanders said, “Last year, when Republican legislators in Florida passed that six-week abortion ban, and they passed it because people were coming to Florida to get abortions because it was one of the only places left in the southeast where you could get an abortion if that was the care that you needed. Ron DeSantis didn’t like that, so he pressured the legislature to pass an even stricter abortion...

You’ve probably heard of the “Not In My Backyard” — or NIMBY — movement, but you might not be familiar with “Yes In My Backyard,” an approach that embraces affordable housing development in every community. We face a national housing crisis, and Americans cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the needs of our neighbors, ignore the problem or hope someone else will solve it. We need more YIMBYs. As chair of the New Democrat Coalition’s Affordable Housing Task Force, I’m proud to lead our group of YIMBY Democrats in the House, and unveil the New Dems’ comprehensive Housing...

California Democrats are pushing to replace the current one-time gun registration system with a once-a-year registration requirement, coupled with a fee to the state. In the bill, SB 1160, Democrats pledge to use the fee to fund the state’s gun registration system: “The bill would require the registrant to annually pay a fee, as specified, to be deposited into a special fund that is continuously appropriated to the department for the express purpose of carrying out the administration and enforcement of the firearm registry.” SB 1160 will also be used to create a new “program” focused on unregistered guns: “This...

CNN host Charles Barkley blasted Joe Biden and the Democrat Party and said he understands why Democrats are losing black voters in droves. He also walked back his threat to punch black voters who support Donald Trump. The co-host of CNN’s King Charles Show insisted that he knew why blacks were leaving the Democrat Party during Wednesday evening’s broadcast. Barkley said that Democrats completely ignore blacks until election time comes around, and then they are suddenly full of promises and pandering for votes.

A well-coordinated, well-funded, and high-powered network of leftist organizations, led by a group whose efforts 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton promoted, is behind the push to remove former President Donald Trump, the 2024 frontrunner for president from any party, from the ballot, Breitbart News has learned. But it’s much broader than that: For years, this network of leftists grew from a powerful vast left-wing conspiracy unmasked a decade ago into now being the dominating force on the left determined to stop Trump at all costs. What’s more, these leftists clearly control what top Democrats are saying, forcing their...

Allies of President Biden are stepping up calls for Democrats to rally around the president, following negative commentary and splits from inside the party over whether he should forgo reelection. Former President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod has been the most notable Democrat to cause a ruckus when he suggested earlier this month that Biden step aside and further advised that the president has a “50-50 shot” of winning in 2024.

A new report by Megan Basham shows what we’ve all known to be the case, that “Christianity Today Staff Made Extensive Campaign Donations Between 2015 And 2022…All Went To Democrats” We’ve rarely been friendly toward CT, and with good reason. Led by the vexatious Russell Moore, they’re the progressive rag known for virtue-twerking and giving a platform to every weird and liberally insidious bent. They carried op-ed’s by Karen Swallow Prior saying it was un-Christlike to call women who killed their babies ‘murderers’ because abortion is not murder, had a lesbian Roman Catholic write about her masturbation habits, comparing masturbation...

Fabian Marta, a man who had contributed to the well-known anti-child sex trafficking film Sound of Freedom, has officially had previously filed charges of child kidnapping dropped against him. A St. Louis grand jury, as well as the state of Missouri, found no evidence that a crime had been committed. https:/twitter.com/FabianMarta/status/1706400467633270966?s=20 "Now comes the State of Missouri and enters a memorandum of Nolle Prosequi in the above-styled cause for the reason that this matter has been presented to the St. Louis Circuit Court Grand Jury and the State has insufficient evidence to obtain a conviction," reads a memorandum on the...

In a bold move, a Texas Representative has called for Congress to ban the Democratic Party, citing its historical support of slavery, racism, and the Ku Klux Klan. The representative argues that the party's past actions are incompatible with the principles of equality and justice. This demand has sparked a heated debate among lawmakers, with supporters applauding the call for accountability.

A quarter of all independent expenditures in the 2024 election cycle, $20.2 million, has targeted Gov. Ron DeSantis, more than has been spent in either positive or negative independent expenditures for former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden combined. Trump, the Republican front-runner, was hit with just $8.1 million of negative independent expenditures directed toward him, according to data compiled by Republican consultant Rob Pyers. Biden, the incumbent president and front-runner for the 2024 Democratic nomination, was attacked with $9.2 million of independent expenditures. “The top folks in polling always attract the most negative advertising. However, few Republican candidates...

Do something! Fifty-four Democratic lawmakers from across New York City signed a letter on Wednesday demanding President Biden provide immediate assistance with the migrant crisis gripping their metropolis. Many of the signers — who represent some of the Big Apple’s largest immigrant communities — told the president they needed him to declare a federal state of emergency, expedite work authorization for migrants, fix the flow at the border, and provide more dollars to Gotham to handle the unrelenting influx of asylum seekers.

Lacking either a moral compass or a consistent foreign policy, Democrats and their fellow travelers in the media have been guided in recent years by what they call “Rahm’s Rule” -- in brief, “never let a serious crisis go to waste.” Adopting that rule came naturally to President Barack Obama. In a March 2012 meeting with outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Korea, a hot mic picked up Obama telling Medvedev, “It’s important for him to give me space. This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” The “him,” of course was Putin. Said Medvedev, “I...

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his primary challenge to Joe Biden in April, the media shrugged him off as a meme candidate who would soon collide with political reality. Two months later, Kennedy is polling as high as 20% and his campaign is gaining momentum. And the media — unwilling to let Biden be primaried by this pedigreed populist — have decided it’s time to step in. And step in they have. Over the past weeks, major print and broadcast organizations have laid the foundations for a powerful narrative designed to hobble Kennedy’s campaign before a single vote is...
