Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation. It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued...

The Schumer Shutdown has been going on for more than a month now. It started on October 1, and the Senate won't even be able to have another vote on it until Tuesday at the earliest. The extended shutdown is raising concerns, particularly about funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and how it may be impacting air travel. 🚨For those traveling in and out of Newark — expect significant delays. We HAVE to reduce flight volumes to MAINTAIN SAFETY 🚨This is exactly what @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries want — to inflict maximum pain on the American people!The moment they...

A million times worse than Watergate.I called Russiagate a thousand times worse than Watergate. We’re several stages beyond that. The latest revelations about ‘Arctic Frost’, the operation by the Biden administration to target Trump and allies, go way beyond anything even in Russiagate. The witch hunt fronted by Clinton ally Jack Smith targeted conservative groups, even those that didn’t exist during the battle over the election or on Jan 6, the alleged reason for the investigation, and bugged a fifth of the Republican Senate delegation. Sen. Ted Cruz held a press conference to reveal that the targeting of his phone...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned of rising Jew-hatred on the right during a speech at Hagee Ministries’ 45th Annual Night to Honor Israel at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio on Sunday evening. The senator accused Democrats of harboring a “pro-Hamas contingent” and said the rest of the party is “terrified” of them. But in his remarks at the event, he highlighted Jew-hatred on his own side of the aisle. Cruz described a recent conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which the latter attributed online, right-wing antisemitism to funding from Qatar and Iran. Cruz disagreed. “These are real human...

When one thinks of the Democratic Party in 2025, most don’t think of compassion or relatability. Instead, anger is the first word that usually comes to mind. Here are ten examples of anger on display during Trump’s second term: “This dude [Ted Cruz] has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right? Like, there is no niceties with him, like, at all!” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). “[Trump senior advisor] Stephen Miller needs to be THUMPED! That guy’s a freaking worm. I would be willing to go to jail for – I mean, how much [time] would I get...

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday denounced Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr’s threats to pull ABC’s broadcast license as “unbelievably dangerous” and compared some of his rhetoric to “mafioso” tactics.In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” released on Friday, the Texas Republican said he was “thrilled” Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air by ABC over his comments about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. But he said he strongly disagreed with the government policing speech, asserting it could come back to bite conservatives when Democrats retake power.“I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he...

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas sharply criticized the head of the Federal Communications Commission for urging ABC to crack down on the now-benched late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, calling the Trump appointee's comments "dangerous as hell" and comparing his move to a mafia shakedown. ABC, owned by Disney, took "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air indefinitely on Wednesday, two days after Kimmel faced criticism for his comments on conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. Just hours before the company's decision, FCC Chair Brendan Carr had publicly urged ABC to "take action" in response to Kimmel's remarks, saying in an interview: "We...

Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested this week that the government, in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk last Wednesday, may start to target “hate speech.” In a podcast interview with Katie Miller, the AG stated that hate speech isn’t free speech and that her office may prosecute those who cross the line. “We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything—and that’s across the aisle,” Bondi declared, adding that we can’t allow “that hate speech in the world in which we live.” Her comments outraged many on the right, who correctly...

Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that the government, in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, may start to target “hate speech.” In a podcast interview the AG stated that hate speech isn’t free speech and that her office may prosecute those who cross the line. Her comments outraged many on the right, who correctly see “hate speech” as a dubious concept engineered to suppress conservative views. It’s also an unconstitutional concept, as our laws recognize hate speech as free speech protected by the First Amendment. This was affirmed by Charlie Kirk himself. “Hate speech does not exist legally in...

During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Senator Ted Cruz, raised an issue with FBI Director Kash Patel that others, including President Trump, have raised as well. “I want to more broadly encourage you to follow the money,” said Cruz. “The violence we are seeing is not purely organic. There is, I believe, significant money that is spreading dissension, that is spreading violence.” As to whether the George Floyd riots of 2020 were orchestrated, Senator Cruz need look no further than an extraordinary article published by Time magazine in February 2021. The author, Molly Ball, laid out in exquisite detail what...

Committee Chairman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) opened the Sept. 3 hearing, titled "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise," by warning that the United States risks losing the moon to China if NASA's Artemis program falters. The hearing centered on how America can stay ahead in the new space race, with lawmakers pressing the importance of Artemis and reaffirming the need for the Gateway space station and to maintain continuous operations in low Earth orbit (LEO).Witnesses underscored that delays, budget uncertainty, or wavering commitments could undermine both U.S. industry and international alliances, warning that uncertainty could drive partners and suppliers...

Did you see Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson’s heated interview that came out a week ago? If you didn’t, it was something else. In fairness to Cruz, I do believe Carlson was poking and prodding in ways that were a bit annoying, and I don’t fault Cruz for being irritated with Carlson at times. In addition, until Cruz embarrassed himself with two-bit Dispensationalist heresy, I don’t think he was being overly unreasonable, and I agreed with his sentiments in some cases. Carlson and Cruz spoke largely about the Iran-Israel situation, which, as it stands, is in a state of flux....

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren took an accidental tumble while on the Senate floor. Moseying around atop the Senate chamber's blue carpet floors Warren can be seen on video deep in thought. She then halts and attempts to lean back on a desk at the front of the chamber. Suddenly, it tilts over and sends the senator crashing onto the desk. Lawmakers immediately run over to help the Massachusetts Democrat off the historic desk. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., were the first on the scene offering a helping hand to the 76-year-old lawmaker. Warren's office did not immediately...

POCAHONTAS LIZZIE WARREN FALLS ON SENATE FLOOR.

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz appeared on Fox News Wednesday to address the immunity of former President Barack Obama in light of recent discussions about presidential accountability. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed documents showing that the Obama administration may have withheld a December 2016 Presidential Daily Briefing to prevent then-President-elect Donald Trump from seeing evidence that Russia did not interfere in the election. During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Cruz disagreed with the notion that Obama — or any president, for that matter — has absolute immunity from legal consequences. “It is challenging what the Supreme Court...

Attention Spaceflight enthusiasts! As you may know, the US Senate just saved SLS, Orion and Gateway with a $10 million investment. What you may not know, is that a recent GAO report revealed that those programs are even more over budget than we thought! And meanwhile, the fiscally responsible NASA programs are getting cut!

The #NeverTrump movement just got another backer. Conservative radio host Mark Levin threatened on Friday that he will not support Donald Trump in the general election, should he be the nominee. Levin, a strong supporter of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said that Trump’s allies had made the billionaire Republican front-runner toxic. …“If they piss me off one more time, I’m going to urge millions and millions of you, should he get the nomination, not to vote for him either,” he said.

For political junkies who cut their teeth on “60 Minutes,” “Meet the Press,” CNN, and Fox News, longform podcasts were a godsend. Finally freed of commercial restraints and surface-level superficialities, longform podcasts took you beyond the talking points, treating audiences to a deep dive of a topic’s intricacies. Even when the podcast host had limited knowledge of the subject matter (Joe Rogan, I’m looking at you), the benefit of the longform platform was that it facilitated an open-ended, free-floating conversation where both sides learned more about the other. But there was an important catch: It only worked when both sides...
