Media Matters, a left-wing media watchdog, is reportedly facing an existential crisis as it drowns in government investigations, legal expenses from a defamation case and loss of donors, according to The New York Times. Media Matters’s future looks so dire since layoffs were reported in May that some involved with the organization have contemplated declaring bankruptcy or shutting down entirely in recent months, the NYT reported Friday, citing internal documents and 11 sources familiar with the situation. The Democrat-aligned group purports to monitor and combat “conservative misinformation in the U.S. media” and is under investigation by the Trump administration’s Federal...

California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the state’s largest abortion company, have lost $300 million in federal funding following the new federal law that defunds America’s biggest abortion business. The congressional reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics. Although the law is temporarily on hold because of a liberal judge in Massachusetts, the California Planned Parenthood affiliate will lose funding because it...

Alina Habba on Thursday announced that she is now the Acting US Attorney for New Jersey after district court judges ousted her from her post earlier this week.

Habba resigned as Interim US Attorney and is now Acting US Attorney for New Jersey.

Joy Behar accidentally let it slip that “The View” is taking a break on Thursday morning’s show. And before we go on hiatus — we only have one more show after this. I’m allowed to say that, right?” Behar said as she trashed President Trump. “Too late now,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said. It doesn’t appear that Behar is referring to the show’s annual summer hiatus. WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK.......................... Behar’s admission comes after Stephen Colbert’s late night show was canceled after he was losing $40 million a year. On Thursday CBS announced it canceled the Late Show with Stephen Colbert...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director Todd Lyons said in an interview that aired Sunday that his agency will crack down on American companies hiring unauthorized workers. “Not only are we focused on those individuals that are, you know, working here illegally, we’re focused on these American companies that are actually exploiting these laborers,” Lyons said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “These people that came here for a better life. You know, either, you know, forced labor, child trafficking, you know, a lot of these work site cases — just isn’t a victimless crime of someone here...

Billionaire Bill Gates has accused President Donald Trump's administration of putting his global "vaccination" agenda "at risk" by cutting off taxpayer funding for his organization GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.

Coca-Cola said on Tuesday it plans to launch a beverage for the U.S. market that use cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. The announcement, which came as the company reported second-quarter earnings, follows a social media post by President Trump last week claiming that he had persuaded Coca-Cola to use real cane sugar in its U.S. cola. Coke said the new product will use cane sugar produced in the U.S. and will expand its product range. "This addition is designed to complement the company's strong core portfolio and offer more choices across occasions and preferences," the company said in...

Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed she left the US because of President Trump in a candid new interview. The comedian and presenter, 67, now lives in the Cotswolds with her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, and told how they are 'staying here' for good now. This weekend she spoke with broadcaster Richard Bacon at the Everyman theatre in Cheltenham where she opened up about the huge life changes. She also said she and Portia - who first wed in 2008 - were considering tying the knot again in the UK after some moves in the US to reverse the right to...

Live by the federal subsidy ... well, you know the rest. And if not, Robert Kennedy Jr just served up a big reminder.Republicans in Congress got thwarted in their attempt to defund providers delivering pediatric sex-change therapies. Instead, the HHS Secretary will act within his authority to deny Medicare and Medicaid funds to hospitals and clinics that provide these services, forcing them into a choice between funding for actual care and pandering to the extreme Left at the expense of children. National Review got the scoop:The Department of Health and Human Services will soon begin the rule-making process to prohibit...

President Trump signed an executive order in March designating English to be the official language of the United States. In it, he declared that it is long past time to do so to create a cohesive society and push immigrants into adopting American culture and joining the American tradition. Now, the Department of Justice is following through on the order and making sweeping changes to the federal government — and its services — to make the aggravating experience of dealing with government agencies a lot simpler. As part of new guidance, the DOJ said it was in Americans' best interest...

Donald Trump has been applying his negotiating skills to get sugar back in U.S.-produced Coke, the president wrote on his Truth Social site Wednesday. If his intervention pans out, soon Americans could be swigging something that tastes much more like Mexican Coke. Trump famously installed a red button on his desk that allows him to quickly summon a Diet Coke, his favorite drink. Trump championed the recipe change as a 'good move' by the Coca-Cola Company, which was founded in 1892. 'I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they...

"This boondoggle, led by the incompetent Governor of California, Gavin Newscum, has cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we have received NOTHING in return except Cost Overruns."

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has resumed transferring jail inmates to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the first time in years, despite local sanctuary policies that aim to shield people from deportation. Eight inmates were released to ICE in May and a dozen more in June, according to sheriff’s department records reviewed by The Times. Eleven are Mexican, six are Guatemalan, and one each is from Colombia, El Salvador and Honduras. Their ages ranged from 19 to 63 years old. The transfers to ICE are the first by the sheriff’s department since early 2020, when records show 43...

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with plans that could lead to the shutdown of the Department of Education. Despite objections from the court's liberal justices, the court granted a stay that lifts a lower court’s injunction blocking mass layoffs at the agency. The legal challenges came from two fronts: a group of school districts and education unions, and a coalition of 21 Democratic-led states. Both argued that the mass terminations left the department unable to carry out key federal obligations, including administering student aid, supporting special education services and enforcing civil rights protections....

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to resume efforts to dismantle the Department of Education in an apparent 6-3 vote along ideological lines, lifting a judge’s order to reinstate employees terminated in mass layoffs. The administration’s victory enables the president to move closer to fulfilling of one of his major campaign promises to oversee the elimination of the the Education Department, which was created in the 1970s. The majority did not explain their reasoning, as is typical in emergency decisions. The court’s three Democratic-appointed justices publicly dissented, calling their colleagues’ ruling “indefensible.” “It hands the Executive the power...

I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car,' Trump posted Friday evening on Truth Social. 'Therefore, I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and Border Czar, Tom Homan, to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, or any other Law Enforcement Officer who is on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so,' he...

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court Votes 8-1 to ALLOW President Trump to CUT the Federal Workforce in any department he chooses Justice Ketanji Jackson was the ONLY "No" vote.

BREAKING: President Trump says he wants no more property taxes across the United States.

I had to break this one down because the left is losing their minds over “Alligator Alcatraz.” That’s what they’re calling a legal, secure processing center for illegal immigrants in Florida. They’re acting like we’re building a swamp prison in the middle of Jurassic Park—comparing it to Auschwitz, calling us supervillains, threatening jail time over a t-shirt. So we responded with facts, fire merch, and a promo video that shut the whole thing down. I showed y’all exactly what the facility looks like—clean, air-conditioned, with beds, not containers floating in gator-infested water. The hypocrisy is wild, especially when Biden and...
