Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., donned a "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" hat during an interview with CNN on Thursday, after the late-night host's show was pulled. "Congressman, I see you are wearing a hat. What does that hat say?" CNN host John Berman asked the lawmaker, who responded with, "You're damn right I am, John." Disney said Wednesday it was pulling late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's program after the liberal comedian's remarks about the death of Charlie Kirk. "It should shake every American that the president of the United States is out there firing comedians who make fun of him. That is not...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) proudly announced the names of the other theater-kid members he wants to join him on a new subcommittee investigating what happened on January 6, 2021, and it goes as badly as you imagine. To kick things off with this clown car, Jeffries named Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to be the lead Democrat on the new subcommittee. And as you can expect, Swalwell took the mic and suggested J6 was just like other days that will live in infamy in our history, like Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001. It’s almost too dumb to respond...

On Monday August 25, 2025 The New York Times published a lengthy piece entitled,“How China Influences Elections in America’s Biggest City” with the subtitle: “The Chinese consulate in Manhattan has mobilized community groups to defeat candidates who don’t fall in line with the authoritarian state.”Though it’s ostensibly a story just on New York City, the reporting is not confined to matters there. Both a Democrat U.S. congresswoman on a sensitive committee and New York’s Democrat Governor get a looking-at. And while Governor Hochul may not be your governor or mine, she clearly has a seat of national influence, and at...

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s latest attack on President Donald Trump has backfired after he shared a post on X, ripping the president for his federal takeover of Washington, D.C., police and the deployment of National Guard troops. “It’s been 10 days since Trump militarized DC. Crime is on the rise. Trump owns it,” the post reads. But despite his claims, video clips have been circulating showing law enforcement taking criminals off the streets in large numbers, with many of them being illegal aliens, according to Twitchy. Watch: VIDEO AT LINK..................... The report also took a swipe at Swalwell, reminding him that...

Newly declassified FBI records have fingered Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) as a likely conduit for damaging leaks aimed at undermining President Donald Trump, along with disgraced Rep. Adam Schiff. According to the FBI’s own 302 interview summaries, now in the hands of Congress thanks to FBI Director Kash Patel, the whistleblower noted that “Rep. Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.” According to Emmy-winning investigative journalist Catherine Herridge: “I have obtained a newly declassified @FBI interview summary from 2017 about intelligence leaks from the Russia probes. While...

The whistleblower reportedly worked for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee for over ten years, and reported Schiff's alleged behavior to the FBI in 2017. According to the report, the intelligence staffer called the leaking "treasonous" and "illegal," in addition to being unethical. He was most recently interviewed by the FBI in 2023.

You guys, the Democrats are desperate to be more masculine. So desperate, in fact, that Rep. Eric Swalwell of California apparently recorded this video of himself in the gym bench-pressing 135 pounds. Bro, if you're trying to appeal to masculine male voters, I don't think 135 is going to do it! Throw a ten on each side there, and maybe we can talk, but 135 is peewee league stuff

MacArthur Park is not a war zone. It is a playground, a picnic spot, a community spot. But you wouldn’t know that looking at it now. Why send armed agents to terrorize a community?

On June 19, patriots waving flags and ringing a cowbell staged a noisy confrontation with Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) as he attended a meeting of the Orange County Democratic Party in Mission Viejo, Calif. Among other things, they shouted "Fang Fang," a reference to Swalwell's mistress, who is a suspected Communist Chinese spy.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said Democrats were eyeing the "safest White boy" in the 2028 presidential race, hinting at "one specific candidate" being floated by the party's donors, during a podcast conversation this week. "It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost, so far," she said in a clip posted to Instagram. "And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win." SiriusXM host Clay Cane posted the clip to Instagram on Friday,...

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign spent thousands of dollars after the election on childcare expenses for the California Democrat, raising potential ethics concerns for a lawmaker who has been accused in the past of using his campaign war chest as a "personal piggybank." According to campaign finance records, the Swalwell campaign spent at least $20,000 on "childcare" from Nov. 8, three days after the election, to March 31. The payments went to two of the Swalwell family’s longtime babysitters as well as a Washington, D.C.-area Spanish language immersion preschool where tuition is around $3,000 per month. The payments raise potential ethics...

On Friday, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on CNN’s “News Central” that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz should not be in government after using Signal for a chat among senior national security officials. Swalwell said, “I want to know, are they going to continue to use this type of chat environment for future operations? No one has answered that. and every member of Congress, at least on our side, should ask every intelligence official and every military official when they appear under oath before Congress. Are you using signal chat? And by the way, DOGE...

VIDEO Eric Swalwell, the former boyfriend of ChiCom spy Fang Fang, is several years late in conveniently working up laughable outrage over what he claims are leaks of national security. Apparently his lack of self-recognition could be the result of a Bang Bang on the head.

When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap. Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice before doing so, even though Washington, D.C. is a one-party consent jurisdiction.) He...

“The job of the president, goes the message from all the insiders, is to PRETEND to be in charge but not actually do anything meaningful." —Jeffrey Tucker James Howard Kunstler Feb 24, 2025 CBS’s 60-Minutes show was at it again Sunday night in the most prime primetime weekend news slot on the old broadcast spectrum — Sunday at 7:00, the power-hour of national mind-fu**ery — with blob PR-agent Scott Pelley singing the blues over the systematic disassembly of the rogue bureaucracy. Trouble is, fewer and fewer minds are susceptible to the argument that the blob exists to “save our democracy.”...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on Friday in “MSNBC Reports” that President Donald Trump is already shutting down the government, so Democrats should not vote to fund it. Swalwell said, “What we have to do in Congress, you know, is the branch that funds government and that funds the Department of Justice is to put in place, you know, guardrails and protections against this and that funding is coming up, by the way, in just a couple of weeks.” Host Ali Vitali asked, “I’m glad that you asked about that funding, because there has been a lot of conversations about...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) defended his vote against the Laken Riley Act by stating that “people are going to be targeted because they’re brown.” Host Chris Hayes asked, “[T]here’s a sort of a test of this happening now with this piece of legislation that would essentially make larger the category of immigrants who are here undocumented without status who can be put into the deportation queue if arrested, not convicted, for a set of category of crimes. So, it enlargens that. It also, in a more — well, a part that a lot...

House Democrats pressured U.S. Capitol Police to provide special financial assistance and even a promotion to the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer and charitable assistance not provided to other officers, according to internal emails reviewed by Just the News. "He is very upset about how he is being treated. He wants us to figure this out and now," a top congressional aide to then-House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, wrote to Capitol Police in November 2021 pressing for more assistance to Lt....
