A Nebraska state senator caught on video removing portraits of America’s Founders from a hallway in the state Capitol is defending her actions. Democratic State Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh was shown on Capitol security footage taking down portraits from an exhibit celebrating the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. The exhibit was provided by conservative nonprofit PragerU and included images of signers of the Declaration of Independence and prominent women in American history, according to Gov. Jim Pillen, who criticized the lawmaker’s actions. "Celebrating America during our 250th year should be a moment of unity and patriotism, not divisiveness and destructive partisanship,"...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during a Senate hearing on Wednesday called for the impeachment of two federal judges, including Judge James Boasberg, who authorized the surveillance of Republican lawmakers during then-special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the January 6 protests.

(LifeSiteNews) — An Obama-appointed federal judge has once again been rebuked for her attempts to stop a federal law, signed by President Donald Trump, that generally defunds Planned Parenthood and some other abortion vendors. Since July, District Judge Indira Talwani has tried several times to stop the temporary defunding of abortion giant Planned Parenthood. The requirement is provided for in the July “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed by Trump. However, the Massachusetts judge is regularly reversed by other judges, even those appointed by Democrats. Talwani’s latest act of judicial activism hit a roadblock earlier this week when the First...

The House voted 237-140 to shelve Green’s impeachment resolution, with 47 Democratic lawmakers voting present… Republicans have begun to warn that Democrats are determined to impeach Trump a third time if they win the majority, pushing it toward the forefront of next year’s campaigns. Many of them dismissed Thursday’s vote as a distraction. Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat and vice chair of the Democratic Caucus, said there are “a diversity of views” about impeachment in the caucus. He said that House Democrats intend to conduct oversight of the administration should they win a majority in next year’s midterms but...

INDIANA MOVES TO IMPEACH "ROGUE" JUDGES & PROSECUTORS: FINALLY, REAL TEETH FOR PUBLIC SAFETY Indiana Rep. Andrew Ireland filed a proposed constitutional amendment to let the state legislature impeach judges and prosecutors who go soft on violent offenders. Repeat killers or rapists get slaps on the wrist, and now lawmakers could boot the enablers out the door. The push? It's aimed square at spots like Marion County, where critics say DA Ryan Mears has let folks with rap sheets, like the IndyGo bus arsonist, walk free, spiking fear in neighborhoods. Ireland's bill would expand impeachment beyond just "high crimes" to...

McConnell described Trump’s impeachment as “the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history.” “The framers built the Senate to provide stability,” McConnell says in his Senate floor remarks, according to excerpts released by his office. “To keep partisan passions from boiling over. Moments like this are why the United States Senate exists.” The House impeached Trump on two charges—abusing his power and obstructing Congress—stemming from his pressure on Ukraine to announce investigations of his political rival as he withheld U.S. aid.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered some bad news to Speaker Pelosi from the floor of the upper-chamber: …”There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure. We will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. The House Democrats’ turn is over. The Senate has made its decision.”… …Now, go make me a sandwich. McConnell in video: ‘The 1999 precedent does not guarantee witnesses or foreclose witnesses. Let me say that again: it neither guarantees witnesses nor forecloses witnesses. It leaves those determinations until later in the trial where they belong. ‘‘I fully expect the parties will...

Polis signs executive order to ‘combat President Trump’s reckless tariff policy’ by: Jacob Factor Posted: Jul 15, 2025 DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Monday took executive action in response to President Trump’s tariff policy Polis says “is causing uncertainty for many key Colorado Industries." The executive order “Concerning the State of Colorado’s Response to Increased Costs for Colorado Consumers, Producers, and Manufacturers Stemming from U.S. Tariff Policy” directs the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade to create a task force dedicated to assisting Colorado agencies in developing strategies to reduce tariff impacts and combat uncertainty...

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News. The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump...

"It's a tragedy, but it was so utterly preventable." Out on bond & awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to a prior murder, Austin Collette fatally shot & killed his 21-year-old girlfriend. Judge Hilary Unger authorized Austin Collette's release on bond. Despicable.

In yet another troubling scandal, liberal judge James Boasberg, known for temporarily blocking President Trump’s deportations of violent Venezuelan gang members, faces fresh criticism after revelations linking his daughter to a far-left nonprofit that actively opposes stricter immigration enforcement and pockets millions of taxpayer dollars. Partners in Justice, the group for which Katherine Baosberg works, is a pro-illegal immigration NGO that receives over half of its funding from USAID and other government grants; it reportedly provides legal advice and representation to criminal illegal aliens; the judge’s woke daughter, Katharine Boasberg, is employed by Partners in Justice, a progressive nonprofit that...

Ever wonder what drives a federal judge to order planes full of illegal immigrants, whom are gang members such as MS13 and Tren De Aragua, to turn back? Maybe it’s because his wife runs a NGO funded by USAID, and his daughter Katherine works for Partners for Justice — a group that serves legal support to those very same criminals, thanks to 76% of their cash flow coming from Uncle Sam! This organization is like an anti-deportation cheer squad and even boasts about having knocked off 5,000 years of prison time since 2018. So, when investigative journalist Laura Loomer started...

Trump has clashed with US District Judge James E. Boasberg over deportation flights to El Salvador... President Donald Trump called for the impeachment of a judge in a Truth Social post on Tuesday, apparently referring to U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg who recently sought to block deportation flights to El Salvador. "This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President ... "I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before,...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Rep. Andy Ogles has officially introduced articles of IMPEACHMENT against Deep State District Judge Amir Ali. 11:34 AM · Feb 27, 2025

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) filed articles of impeachment Friday against Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer after his controversial decision to block the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing a crucial Treasury payment system. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Trump-hating New York Attorney General Letitia James and 18 Democrat state attorneys general infuriated over Trump’s efforts to downsize government. As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Crane announced last week that he was drafting the articles against the far-left Judge, calling his decision a “threat to democracy.”

A federal judge appears poised to block the Trump administration if the Department of Defense attempts to place limitations on or ban transgender service members. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes is still hearing arguments Tuesday in the case but signaled deep skepticism with the claim that transgender service members lessen the military’s lethality or readiness. “You and I both agree that the greatest fighting force that world history has ever seen is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1% of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them. Would you...

federal judge on Tuesday reinstated Cathy Harris, the Democrat chairwoman of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). “The mission of the MSPB is to “Protect the Merit System Principles and promote an effective Federal workforce free of Prohibited Personnel Practices.”” the agency’s website says. Cathy Harris was appointed to the MSPB in 2021 and her term was set to expire on March 1, 2028, but Trump fired her earlier this month. Judge Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee with a history of anti-Trump bias, said Trump’s decision to fire Cathy Harris, a member of an agency in the executive branch, exceeded...

The problem with judge-shopping to push your case through, there’s always the chance that the judges you are counting on to push your agenda have their own skin in the game. That’s the case with a judge who has offered very dubious rulings on whether Trump can suspend his USAID money. We’ve got a thread from America First Legal making the case online that Judge McConnell, the Rhode Island judge who put an end to Trump’s spending freezes, ought never to have heard that case in the first place. The reason? He is *Personally* benefitting financially from his own ruling....

Well, this is interesting. What a surprise. Dirty Judge Jack McConnell, who believes he was recently elected US president, halted President Trump’s current spending freeze. But Judge McConnell is not some innocent bystander. Judge McConnell’s organization has received $117.6 million in government funding in total (ending in 2023). Maybe that’s why he wanted the money to keep flowing. He’s expecting several more million this year! The Gateway Pundit previously reported on this radical far-left judge who called President Trump a “tyrant” and decries racism as a “white people problem.” ... America First Legal has uncovered damning evidence that federal Judge...
