Former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Michael Chertoff on Sunday called potential Republican efforts to impeach the agency’s current leader, Alejandro Mayorkas, a “political stunt.” In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan, Chertoff, who served under former President George W. Bush, said House Republicans threatening to impeach Mayorkas would be engaging in performative politics, calling any effort to do so a “very sad day.”

Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) was narrowly reelected Monday, defending his seat despite voting to impeach former President Donald Trump last year, only the second Republican of ten who did so to return to Congress. Valadao defeated Democrat Rudy Salas by three percentage points in the close race in the 22nd congressional district. A Republican in a heavily Latino district, Valadao has always faced tough reelection races. In 2018, he was narrowly unseated by Democrat lobbyist T. J. Cox, who has since been indicted for fraud in that election.

MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Monday on his show “Morning Joe” that if Republicans win the majority in the midterms and attempt to impeach President Joe Biden, it will blow up in their face. Politico White House correspondent Eugene Daniels said, “Republicans are talking about investigating President Biden, his administration, and even his family if they are to take over the House. We wondered what’s happening in the White House, what’s happening in Biden world, how are they feeling? And what we found was they’re not as taking it as you would think. You know, no one wants the probes....

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told MSNBC on Sunday the "threat landscape" has evolved in the 21 years since the 9/11 attacks from concerns about foreign terrorists to domestic extremists. What he's saying: "Back when 9/11 occurred, in those years we were very focused on the foreign terrorist, the individual who sought to do a severe harm to enter the United States and do us harm," Mayorkas said in his interview with MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart. "It's then evolved, we began to be more and more concerned about the individuals already resident in the United States radicalized by a...

I was unaware active duty service members can wear the uniform at political rallies. Ask Defense Secretary Austin if there is an exception to that regulation for Democrat campaign events," the source familiar with the band's inner workings told Fox News Digital. "Anyone with eyes to see knows that the Marine Corps just gave an in-kind contribution to Pennsylvania Democrats before the midterm elections," the source continued. "And they’ll do so again on Thursday in Philadelphia." When asked for comment on the band members’ reaction to the president's actions, the Department of Defense (DOD) pointed Fox News Digital to the...

Has the American education system completely collapsed? Considering college students seem more likely to be able to recite the first names of the Kardashians than the first President of the United States, it seems clear we’re well beyond collapse. Our education system is already a dust heap and the video below demonstrates that clearly. It’s anecdotal evidence, but any of us who have engaged with college-aged Americans on a regular basis know that these dimwits are not the exception. They are the norm. Watch: NEW VIDEO: Gen Z Fails To Answer The EASIEST Questions. VIDEO AT LINK.................... It’s a generational...

Move over rage quitting, “quiet quitting” is the latest workplace phenomenon. It may sound like the act of someone silently resigning, but it actually refers to the rejection of “hustle culture” — the expectation to go above and beyond in your job, rather than simply doing the requirements of the job. It’s a term that has gained traction since a wave of TikTok posts recently emerged from people who consider themselves quiet quitters. TikTok creator Zaid Khan, @zkchillin, posted on TikTok about his own discovery of the term in late July — a video that went viral. In the video...

Images have emerged online that show armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents conducting training exercises for raiding suburban homes. The photos show agents being trained for a variety of deadly force exercises at field offices across the country. The training exercises include the use of weapons, forced building entry, defensive tactics, and others. The news follows a recent Slay News report revealing the IRS’s new criteria for recruiting armed federal tax agents. The IRS is now seeking agents who are “willing to use deadly force,” according to a recent job posting.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested on Wednesday that people who believe President Joe Biden can forgive student debt on his own are misinformed. “The president can’t do it,” Pelosi said, at a press briefing. “That’s not even a discussion.” Pelosi said any student debt forgiveness would have to be carried out by Congress. ... Biden has asked the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education to review his legal authority to forgive student debt. Decisions from those agencies are not yet public. “They are likely to reach the same conclusion as the one reached by Speaker Pelosi,”...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced his long-awaited plan to deliver on a campaign promise to provide $10,000 in student debt cancellation for millions of Americans — and up to $10,000 more for those with the greatest financial need — along with new measures to lower the burden of repayment for their remaining federal student debt. If his plan survives legal challenges that are almost certain to come, it could offer a windfall to a swath of the nation in the run-up to this fall’s midterm elections. Proponents say cancellation will narrow the racial wealth gap —...

President Biden announced Wednesday that he will cancel $10,000 of federal student loan debt for certain borrowers making less than $125,000 per year, and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients, while extending the pause on federal student loan payments through the end of the year. "In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023," Biden tweeted.

Oh, look, another Biden policy that will hurt the middle and lower classes. Yay Democrats. For years, they’ve claimed to be the party of the poor, those in need, and yet every policy they’re shoving through does nothing to help the poor and everything to help their wealthy pals in green energy, and oddly enough, Ukraine. Making a plumber pay for the debt of a lawyer? That’s Biden for ya’. Here are some facts: Only 37% of Americans have a 4-yr college degree, only 13% have graduate degrees, and a full 56% of student loan debt is held by people...

Biden will also cancel up to $20,000 for recipients of Pell Grants, he said in a tweet on Wednesday. The relief will be limited to Americans earning under $125,000 per year.

It is always interesting to see who supposed “conservatives” in office are supporting with their financial resources. One of the interesting facts from Congressman Randy Feenstra’s “Delivers PAC” is the fact its largest contribution made to a sitting member of Congress went to Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler. Herrera Beutler was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump. Feenstra’s PAC gave Herrera Beutler $5,000 on June 30, 2022.

Democrats could be facing major losses in this year's crucial midterm elections as Republicans aim to take back the House of Representatives and the Senate in November. If President Joe Biden's party loses control of both chambers, he could end up facing impeachment after several Republicans indicated that GOP majorities would move in that direction. In January, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said there would be "multiple grounds" for impeaching Biden, while in April, Republican Representative Ken Buck told a virtual meeting that the House Judiciary Committee would "hold the hearings to determine whether impeachment is appropriate. We'll vote on impeachment....

They need the house to vote 50% plus 1 and 67% in the senate. These people just don't stop! Justice Thomas has demonstrated a lack of conviction in upholding Law of the Land in terms of what is right for the majority of Americans. Roe v Wade is just one right that Thomas has had his eye on. Contraceptives, Same Sex Marriage, and Same Sex Relationships are next. This Justice does not belong in a position where he can impose his bigotry, homophobia, and fascist views on the majority of Americans who stand to lose so much from his forced...

Democratic Illinois Rep. Bobby Rush has mostly voted by proxy over the last two years but spent thousands in travel and event expenses on the dime of taxpayers and donors, federal records reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation show. The House authorized an emergency health policy in May 2020, letting members vote remotely — called “proxy” voting — as “a necessary and immediately feasible low-tech option” for those who cannot be physically present in the chamber. “As in this case, when we see members regularly voting by proxy but also attending public campaign events at the same time, it...
