Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios.

The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved. Why it matters: Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration.

The 10 Wisconsin Republicans who posed as electors for President Donald Trump in 2020 even though he had lost the election settled a lawsuit against them Wednesday, acknowledging their actions were part of an effort to overturn the election results.

ALICE, Texas (AP) — In 1977, Associated Press reporter James W. Mangan’s exclusive interview with a South Texas election judge who detailed certifying false votes for Lyndon B. Johnson nearly three decades earlier made headlines across the country. With the win by an 87-vote margin in the 1948 Democratic primary runoff, Johnson, then a congressman, easily defeated his Republican opponent to take a seat in the U.S. Senate, and he eventually ascended to the presidency. Mangan spent three years pursuing the story, which pulled back the curtain on the victory that had drawn suspicions ever since election officials in rural...

GBI Strategies was a huge part of the Biden machine. Yet far-left zealots like Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel have repeatedly lied and said there...

President Biden’s campaign issued a warning Thursday that while it is prepared a year out from the 2024 race, it is expecting a razor-tight race — one that is likely to be a rematch with former President Trump. In a memo, Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said her team feels “well-prepared to defeat whoever emerges from the extreme MAGA Republicans’ primary field,” but that “this will be a very close general election.” Rodriguez argued that the Biden campaign is in a strong position, because the president’s message to protect democracy and the “soul of the nation” still resonates with...

VIDEORemember how Democrats were claiming that election fraud is rarer than an asteroid strike? Well, apparently an asteroid has struck Bridgeport, CT. Of course, the only reason this even appeared in the media is that it was Democrat on Democrat ballot FRAUD in a primary election. The other 2000 mules as revealed in the documentary still remain in the realm of kooky "election denial" conspiracy theory territory despite the fraud being backed up by tons of geolocation and video evidence. Remember, geofencing technology was used by the feds to locate J6 protestors and the ONLY TIME it was known to...

Katie Hobbs, specifically amended state law to...
