Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) has been accused of “betraying” his own party for speaking out against male transgender athletes in girls’ sports, with one Salem lawmaker even calling on him to resign. “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said in an interview with the New York Times published Thursday. “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say...

Vice President Kamala Harris‘ former communications director floated a wild plan to make her the first female commander-in-chief — all President Biden has to do is resign. Jamal Simmons, who served as part of Harris’ team from 2022 until 2023, urged Biden to step aside so that Harris could make history — even despite her massive defeat to President-elect Donald Trump. “Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfill one last promise — to be transitional. Biden should resign and make Kamala Harris the first woman president,” Simmons posted on X. “It’d turn [the] tables on Trump, keep Kamala...

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had a clear, direct response when asked during a press conference Thursday if he would step down if asked to do so by President-elect Trump. “No,” said Powell, whose term as chair ends in 2026. Powell also said in 2019 that he would not resign if asked by Trump. President Biden reappointed Powell in 2021 — despite objections from progressives who have criticized the chair — saying he has burdened the average American by keeping rates too high for too long. Trump suggested earlier this year that Powell, a lifelong Republican, was “political” and would...

In light of the Biden administration's poor record of truth-telling when it comes to POTUS' medical condition, many people questioned whether that COVID diagnosis was a convenient way to get Biden out of the spotlight for a few days, or if there was more to the story.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called on Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) to resign from the Senate after a jury in New York convicted him on 16 counts of bribery, extortion and honest services wire fraud. “In light of this guilty verdict, Sen.
