Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to scold Republicans on Wednesday regarding their part in President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” During her speech on the House floor, Ocasio-Cortez claimed 13.7 million Americans would lose their healthcare as a result of the bill, according to video footage on the United States House of Representatives website. She then alleged Republicans would try everything to distract from that number: Republicans have put this bill together, rushed it together in a matter of hours on the back of a napkin, shaking it walking out of the White House and brought it right here to...

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a top House ally of President Donald Trump and a MAGA firebrand with a national following, is passing on a 2026 Senate run. The three-term conservative lawmaker who represents a solidly red district in northwest Georgia, in a lengthy statement announcing her decision that was posted to social media on Friday night, took aim at Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff, a top GOP target whom Republicans view as extremely vulnerable in next year’s midterm elections. But Greene saved much of her venom for fellow Republicans, many of whom feared a polarizing campaign if...

I donated to 3 Republicans during the Summer of 2024. Since then I have been getting 15 to 30 texts every day from other Republicans asking for donations. Ninety percent of those requests appear to be sent out by a web site labeled WinRed. It appears to me WinRed collects web site info of donors and broadcasts that info to many other web sites of Republican candidates looking for donations. Of course at the end of most texts it says to enter stop to opt-out. That really does nothing to stop texts from different Republicans asking for money tomorrow. I...

President Donald Trump is proposing staggering spending cuts. In his budget request for fiscal year 2026, the president demands that Congress slash an eye-popping 20% of spending which lawmakers allocate each year. "You're going to see $150 billion (in cuts) passed in the House and the Senate. That is real money," said Budget Director Russ Vought on Fox News. "I think for the first time, this budget is not dead on arrival." To be clear, the budget which Mr. Trump sent to Capitol Hill is aspirational. All presidential budgets are. It’s what a president proposes that lawmakers – and his...

Ed Martin is currently the Acting US Attorney for the District of Columbia. President Trump recently announced he nominated Ed for a permanent position as one of the country’s top cops. Democrats and January 6 prosecutors are now targeting Ed Martin because they fear him and what he may expose. In February, Ed Martin launched an investigation into threats against DOGE workers and revealed Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer as the target. Ed Martin also launched an inquiry into former US Attorney Matthew Graves’ prosecutions of more than 1,500 January 6 protestors. He is specifically probing Graves’ abuse of the 1512(c)(2)...

Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed frustration with the state of his party on his podcast Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away with lying while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility. Talking to guest Ryan Lizza, a journalist, he said, “People say to me all the time, ‘James, why don’t we just do like the Republicans do? Just stand up and lie?’ Because our f—ing people wouldn’t stand for it!” Carville said. “If I stood up and lied, you would be the first person to say, ‘James Carville lost all credibility last night when...

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker told an audience of Democrats in New Hampshire on Sunday that they should take up mass protests against President Donald Trump and Republicans, denying them any “moment of peace.” The New York Times reported — admiringly: Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois strode into a ballroom filled with top New Hampshire Democrats on Sunday and by the end of his nearly 30-minute speech had them ready to storm the political barricades against President Trump. “It’s time to fight everywhere and all at once,” he told the group of Democratic activists, officials and donors, who jumped to their...

CNN's Harry Enten is a data nerd, so he gets excited when he sees big moves in the numbers. I suspect it hasn't been thrilling CNN when a lot of those numbers have been going in the direction of President Donald Trump and the Republicans. Enten just dropped "one of the most shocking pieces of poll data I truthfully have seen this year, or maybe in any prior year." He then spoke about the "cares more about the needs of people like you" question, explaining how this question has always tended to favor the Democrats, looking at 2005, 2017, and...

As Dems are set to descent upon American streets to attack Trump and “fight back,” including in New Mexico through agitating “Hands Off” protests organized by a rogue group called “Indivisible,” more threats pour in targeting the New Mexico Republican Party, which was firebombed Sunday morning following Democrat Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez demanding her supporters “agitate.”Now, new phone calls into the GOP office show the levels of unhinged lunacy that embody the left. One such phone call begins as follows: “Yeah, I saw a report this morning on the news about your state headquarters being firebombed and ICE equals the...

On the Senate floor, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) expressed deep concern about the Republican budget resolution, and put forward an amendment to raise the debt ceiling.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that Republicans seemed willing to “buck” President Donald Trump by passing the Trade Review Act of 2025. It would require a joint resolution of approval for the new tariffs and allow Congress to end tariffs with a resolution of disapproval. Host Dana Bash said, “The veteran Republican Senator Chuck Grassley and Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell, they have introduced a bill, a bipartisan bill to require congressional approval for any new tariffs. And I’m sure you saw that Grassley said it’s necessary to reassert Congress’s constitutional role and ensure...

President Donald Trump lauded the passage of an amendment in Wisconsin on Tuesday that will enshrine voter ID into the state constitution. “VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT,” the 45th and 47th president said in a post to Truth Social. “This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!” he added.

President Donald Trump endorsed two Republicans ahead of Tuesday’s special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th Congressional Districts, urging residents to get out and vote so Republicans can continue to secure their majority in the House. Florida’s 1st Congressional District is a race between Republican Jimmy Patronis and Democrat Gay Valimont, who are both vying for former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) seat. “Jimmy Patronis, Chief Financial Officer and Fire Marshall for the Great State of Florida, is running an incredible Campaign for Congress in Florida’s 1st Congressional District!” Trump said on Truth Social, describing him as a “wonderful friend” to...

The Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was intentionally set on fire in an act of arson and vandalized with a spray-painted phrase "ICE=KKK." Why It Matters During his 2024 campaign, President Donald Trump promised mass deportations of undocumented and criminal migrants, a policy that has been shown to be popular among voters across the political spectrum, before and after the election. However, the administration has faced backlash for invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, allowing the administration to deport noncitizens without the opportunity for a hearing before an immigration or federal court judge, and for revoking...

Senate Republicans may not be able to pass President Donald Trump’s border security, energy, and tax agenda until July at the earliest due to internal differences, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) reportedly warned. Thune has told fellow Republicans in the Senate that he wants a budget resolution moved forward in the “next work period” before the April recess, but added that the “finished product” is still months out from completion, a source told the Hill. “Thune and others have said they don’t think it’s realistic we’ll move the finished product until the end of July,” another Republican senator said...

House Republicans don’t have the votes to impeach any federal judges. But a growing number of hard-liners is discussing several other legislative options as GOP leaders search for a release valve for the MAGA fury building over recent court rulings checking President Donald Trump. Top Republicans are likely to put at least one bill, California Rep. Darrell Issa’s “No Rogue Rulings Act,” on the floor in early April, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss scheduling plans. The legislation would crack down on the ability of lower-court judges to issue far-reaching injunctions. That is seen by Speaker Mike Johnson...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) referred to Republicans as “*&**&^&^” on live television before quickly apologizing during a heated discussion on MSNBC over his decision to vote in favor of the GOP’s stopgap funding plan to avert a federal shutdown. Schumer has faced intense pushback on the left this week, with progressives accusing him of capitulating to Republicans — who hold slim majorities in the Senate and House — on a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September. “It’s much, much better not to be in the middle of a shutdown, which could divert people from the...

Almost 6 in 10 Americans who identify as Republican do not trust the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide reliable information on H5N1 bird flu, according to a new poll from health care nonprofit KFF. The CDC has confirmed 70 cases of the virus in humans since 2022, with one person dying from a severe form of the disease in January. Officials say the virus’s health risk to most people remains low, but public health researchers are concerned about the virus and its mutations About 6 in 10 adults regardless of political affiliation said they trust the...
