Lawmakers have regularly approved short- and long-term extensions for Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act since 2008, clearing the […]

Thursday was yet another day perfectly illustrating the Senate Democrats’ hypocrisy.

This was followed by a Thursday afternoon New York Times report that once again reinforced claims that Platner knew what his Nazi […]
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate approved a nearly $70 billion package early Friday, moving Republicans one step closer to funding immigration and deportation activities for the next three years without negotiating new constraints on federal agents with Democrats.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday a new “anti-weaponization” settlement fund as a condition of President Donald Trump voluntarily dropping his multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service for the leak of his tax returns several years ago.

WASHINGTON — U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday pressed for increased funding for the Secret Service, arguing most of the money Senate Republicans included for the agency in their immigration enforcement bill is for security needs, not building a new ballroom at the White House. But the Louisiana Republican added during a morning press […]

In an interview with _The_ _New York Times_ last week, Tucker Carlson, once a Trump stalwart, called President Trump’s war with Iran “the single most foolish thing any American president has ever done.” The conservative podcaster no doubt was being intentionally hyperbolic, as his followers expect; it’s hard to argue that this military misadventure already qualifies as a more foolish decision…

WASHINGTON — U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson wants to make changes to a Senate-passed bill that would end the shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security, a move that will further delay funding and prolong the stalemate that began in mid-February.

Senate Republicans bypassed Democrats in a overnight iand to approve a budget resolution early Thursday that could speed the way for billions for immigration enforcement. That is still weeks away, and it needs GOP House members to agree.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday that Democrats will use the unlimited number of amendment votes they are allowed on Republicans’ budget resolution to illustrate policy differences on cost-of-living issues and immigration activities. “We are for reducing costs for the American people, whether it’s housing or whether it’s health care or […]

New FEC filings reveal that radical Democrats are pouring money into Roy Cooper’s campaign for the U.S. Senate, demolishing the myth that he’s a “moderate.” Top House and Senate Democrats who are openly advocating for President Donald Trump’s removal from office are funding Cooper’s U.S. Senate campaign, tying him directly to a growing “Get Trump” […]

Republicans can’t decide whether the war is too early to stop, too late to stop, or nonexistent in the first place.
Democrats are thinking of impeachment all wrong. Rather than seeing impeachment, right now, as a way to remove Trump (which won't happen), it's a way to hold right wingers accountable because they won't remove Trump.
