Friday on CNN’s “News Central,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said that President Donald Trump’s deployment of “military troops in the nation‘s capital or in any city” should be reconsidered because it caused two members of the National Guard to be shot in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. Wasserman Schultz said, “This is a deeply concerning situation, but, you know, it’s one that I think we have to — it begs the question, would an individual have flown across the country to target law enforcement officers in Washington, D.C.? And, I mean, the answer is likely no. So why wasn‘t the...

Judge James Boasberg took the next step toward ‘contempt prosecution’ after he revived his criminal contempt inquiry against President Trump over Alien Enemies Act deportations. A federal appeals court recently lifted the hold on Boasberg’s contempt inquiry so the judge is going full steam ahead and harassing Trump Administration officials. In March Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act. In an unsigned order earlier in April, the US Supreme Court on Monday vacated Judge...

The shooting of two National Guard members the day before in Washington hung over President Trump’s Thanksgiving events at Mar-a-Lago, where he held a call with members of the military to thank them for their service on the holiday. At the beginning of the call, he revealed that one of the Guard members, Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, had died. “It’s just happened,” Mr. Trump said. “She was savagely attacked. She’s dead. Not with us.” The other victim, he said, was “fighting for his life.” Later, a White House official said that the president had spoken with the family of the...

Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) said he’s not planning to cooperate with the FBI’s investigation into the video he made with other Democratic lawmakers.

Rep. Al Green (D-TX) said he will file privileged articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump before Congress breaks for Christmas, which would force the House to consider them within two legislative days though they can be tabled. “There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break. This, I pledge. We have to participate. This is a participatory democracy. The impeachment requires the hands and the guidance of all of us,” Green said. Green said, “I am Al Green, an unbought, unbossed, unafraid, liberated Democrat. I will speak truth to power, which is pretty easy to do. You...

California gubernatorial candidate and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claimed that members of the military are telling him they can be a “check” on President Donald Trump. On Don Lemon’s show Monday, Swalwell discussed the controversy over a video of six Democratic lawmakers urging service members to “refuse illegal orders” from Trump. […] Swalwell argued that the Trump administration “told on” itself by going after (Mark) Kelly for his call to resist “illegal orders” and revealed that some service members have been behaving as a “check” on the president. “What gives me hope, and I talk to service members all the...

JUST IN: Ilhan Omar is being RIPPED for claiming Somalis have "always been seen as the fabric of this nation" and "we are not going anywhere!" MASS DEPORTATIONS must ensue among Somalis in Minnesota, starting with Ilhan Omar! ENOUGH.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a post on Instagram Saturday that she was "daydreaming" during a recent event about a "Goodbye, Trump" announcement that would notify the nation that President Donald Trump is "gone." Clinton posted a video from a conversation she had alongside historian Heather Cox Richardson and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda on Nov. 18 titled "History Has its Eyes on Us." Clinton also shared the clip on X, writing in the caption, "When a fire announcement interrupts the event... you might find yourself daydreaming about a 'Goodbye Trump.'" "You know what this reminds me of, is...

MARGARET BRENNAN: ... Is the President holding himself to the same standard that he is asking of others when it comes to dialing back dangerous rhetoric? PAUL: You know, everybody knows that the President is famous for his unfiltered social media. But if you take at face value the idea that calling your opponents traitors and then specifically saying that it warrants the death penalty is reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible, there are a number of other ways to describe it, but it’s not something that is helping the country heal wounds. I think it stirs things up and- and really, I...

A federal judge on Friday blocked the IRS from giving ICE the home addresses of taxpayers who might be undocumented immigrants — dealing a blow to the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. The ruling is a significant victory for immigrant-rights group and liberal activists who are trying to resist the mass deportations that President Donald Trump has made a top priority for the first year of his second term. The Trump administration can appeal the decision, and it has a decent track record this year of overturning lower-court losses. A separate federal judge in a related case previously declined to...

Remember back in 2022 when Rep. Ilhan Omar was speaking to a gathering of CAIR and referred to 9/11 as the day that "some people did something"? Now, a woman whom New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, whose father's second cousin was afraid to wear a hijab on the subway because of that something, has endorsed for the New York State Assembly a woman who describes 9/11 as "a terror attack that a couple people did." We wonder 1) how old she was on September 11, 2001, and 2) what university she graduated from, because she hits all the talking...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department engaged in a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps” in the process of securing an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, a federal judge ruled Monday in directing prosecutors to produce to defense lawyers all grand jury materials from the case. Those problems, wrote Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick, include “fundamental misstatements of the law” by a prosecutor to the grand jury that indicted Comey in September, the use of potentially privileged communications during the investigation and unexplained irregularities in the transcript of the grand jury proceedings. “The Court recognizes that the relief sought...

On Oct 25, Xue Jian, Consul General of China in Osaka, used “beheading” language toward U.S. @SecWar Pete Hegseth. This must be translated and reported to the U.S. government. A China diplomat threatening to behead a U.S. official should be widely exposed!

The BBC has apologised to US President Donald Trump for a Panorama episode that spliced parts of his 6 January 2021 speech together, but rejected his demands for compensation.The corporation said the edit had given "the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action" and said it would not show the 2024 programme again.Lawyers for Trump have threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn (£759m) in damages unless the corporation issues a retraction, apologises and compensates him.The fallout from the scandal led to the resignations of BBC director general Tim Davie and head of news...

Jasmine Crockett was fact-checked by CNN anchors while flaming Donald Trump over his connections to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released bombshell emails from the deceased billionaire Wednesday morning where he claims Trump 'spent hours at my house' with one of his victims. In the initial release of emails, Democrats redacted the name of the victim that Epstein claims spent time with Trump. House Republicans later revealed that the victim was Virginia Giuffre who claimed in her memoir that Trump never did anything wrong. Crockett clashed with CNN anchor Pamela Brown over Giuffre's name being concealed...

Maine's Graham Platner is hardly the most extreme Democrat candidate running for office. Graham Platner, the oyster farmer running for the U.S. Senate in Maine, was exposed last month for making a number of damning comments on social media — including posts where he apparently identified as a communist, branded rural white Americans as racists, suggested that service members worried about being raped should buy "Kevlar underwear," and smeared all police officers as "bastards." Although he has since covered it up, Platner was also outed for having a tattoo of a skull image similar to that popularized by Adolf Hitler's...
