RINO Rep. Don Bacon will not seek reelection in 2026 in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

Saying the trust of Republican voters in Wyoming election systems hinge on the outcome of the case, Republican Party leaders at the national level are asking a federal judge to let them help defend the state’s new election proof-of-citizenship law. The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a motion Thursday to intervene in the ongoing lawsuit the Equality State Policy Center is waging against Secretary of State Chuck Gray and Wyoming’s new law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The nonprofit group sued May 9 on claims that the new law makes voting cumbersome, is unconstitutional and disadvantages minorities,...

An appeals court on Friday revived a legal challenge against a Washington, D.C., law allowing noncitizens, including illegal migrants, the ability to vote in local elections. An Obama-appointed judge in March 2024 dismissed a lawsuit challenging the district law giving certain noncitizens the right to vote in elections within the District of Columbia, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue. However, an appeals court Friday breathed life back into that challenge, finding that the law could dilute the voting power of citizens. “As long as each person can be said to have suffered a distinct and concrete...

Recent elections in Milwaukee, Arizona, and Texas proved that the simplest form of voter suppression isn’t hacking — it’s just not having a working printer. Conservatives across the country are building momentum to clean up elections. Donald Trump’s proposals call for paper ballots, voter ID, and in-person voting on Election Day only. These reforms would mark a major improvement over the chaotic 2020 election — when Joe Biden somehow received more votes than any presidential candidate in history. But tightening election procedures also risks reviving an old Democratic trick: voter suppression. In an ideal system, voting would happen exclusively on...

Given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over deportation. On Wednesday, Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country. According to Frost, if Republicans don’t want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple — just make them legal. But his comments are revealing and expose the endgame of the modern Democrat Party: use the border crisis that they created to cement their permanent political power. And that’s exactly why President Donald Trump must follow through on mass deportations –with no exceptions — because given the chance, Democrats will choose voter registration over...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is facing an uphill re-election battle due to declining favorability numbers among Republican primary voters, a new survey from one of the most accurate pollsters found. The new poll, which was conducted by Quantus Insights, surveyed 600 registered voters in the Palmetto State between June 10-13. In terms of overall approval among all voters, Graham finds himself in the red, with 41 percent of respondents voicing approval and 46 percent voicing disapproval. An additional 13 percent of respondents remain undecided. Among Republican respondents, 22 percent said they will “definitely” be backing a challenger to the longtime...

... Iranian nuclear proliferation is not just an existential threat to Israel, but also an American problem. We've let it go on for too long.

In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives – including CEO Antonio Mugica – of “spoliation of records” related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election. The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims. “On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. – who has since been federally indicted for those crimes –...

A second federal judge on Friday blocked an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at overhauling elections in the U.S. Trump's March 25 executive order sought to compel officials to require documentary proof of citizenship for everyone registering to vote for federal elections, accept only mailed ballots received by Election Day and condition federal election grant funding on states adhering to the new ballot deadline."The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections," Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday's ruling.Order here: Court's Order

If you thought that George Soros's empire was taking a break to lick its wounds following President Donald Trump’s victory in November, think again. A group backed by the notorious left-wing billionaire is unleashing a fortune to achieve a leftist dream: to finally turn the state of Texas into a Democrat stronghold. he Wall Street Journal reported June 9 that the Soros-backed Texas Majority PAC “launched a ‘Blue Texas’ initiative Monday along with the Texas Democratic Party and a group of county parties, aiming to organize tens of thousands of volunteers, recruit candidates and boost turnout ahead of the 2026...

Once seen as one of the rising stars of the GOP, U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw now is facing a growing list of Republicans who want to knock him out of office. Already, six have filed to run against the Houston Republican in the March 2026 GOP primary, and state Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, could soon join the list. "We're trying to decide if it's best for us to continue our service in Austin or in Washington," Toth said in an interview on Monday. He said he and his wife expect to come to a decision by early July on...

A group backed by Democratic mega donor George Soros is pouring money into Texas ahead of next year’s midterms in hopes of flipping the red state blue. The Texas Majority PAC and the Texas Democratic Party launched an eight-figure campaign dubbed “Blue Texas” on Monday aimed at electing Democrats up and down the ballot in the Lone Star State next year. Later this month, the effort will hold kickoff rallies in Harris, Dallas, Travis, Bexar, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Brazoria, Williamson, Hidalgo, Cameron, and El Paso Counties. Next month, Blue Texas will launch the “Turn Texas Blue” tour, which will make...

Joe Walsh, a former Republican member of Congress, said Tuesday he is becoming a Democrat, marking the end of his five-year streak as a political independent after leaving the GOP in 2020. Walsh announced his formal affiliation with the Democratic Party in a Tuesday Substack post, saying he made the decision because he views the Republican Party as a threat to democracy and the rule of law and thinks defeating the GOP requires “a broad coalition of moderates, progressives, and, yes, even conservatives.” “Three words I never thought I’d ever utter: I’m a Democrat. This former Republican Congressman, former Republican...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A former Republican congressman and vocal critic of Donald Trump says he wants to become governor in the president’s adopted home state of Florida, and that he’s running as a Democrat. David Jolly formally announced his bid Thursday, becoming the latest party convert hoping to wrest back control of what had been the country’s premier swing state that in recent years has made a hard shift to the right. Under state law, term-limited Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis can’t run for reelection in 2026. Even as Florida serves as a place for the Trump administration to poach...

The Wyoming Democratic Party’s State Central Committee is operating at a loss and could be left with about two weeks worth of funding by the end of the year, its treasurer said during a Sunday meeting in Rock Springs. In its federal and non-federal accounts, the state party had $36,580.20 as of May 1, Party Treasurer Dudley Case said at the meeting. But the party has been spending more money than it has been raising each month, which has led to a $21,795.32 loss this year. That's about a $5,000 loss per month, in the first four months of the...

Katie Hobbs is living proof that stolen elections have consequences. ... And still the DOJ won't investigate her or her AG!

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to take up a case involving questions surrounding federal candidate litigation of state election regulations. Known as Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, the case offers the nation’s highest court with the opportunity to provide a definitive ruling on the issue of whether a federal candidate who has demonstrated substantiated factual allegations has standing to challenge state-enacted election laws and rules. As The Federalist previously reported, “Standing has been a contentious issue in election litigation” and was at the “forefront of several prominent lawsuits filed contesting the 2020 presidential election cycle, as...
