Trump Layoffs Hit Left-Leaning HUD Office Accused of Obama-Era Social Engineering

By: Luke Rosiak | The Daily Wire When the government shutdown ends, some workers at left-wing government offices may not return. More than 400 employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were issued layoff notices on Friday, primarily targeting an office that pushed left-wing ideology, a department official told The Daily Wire. The federal government has been shut down for more than two weeks, with only “essential” workers reporting for duty, as Democrats refuse to grant a temporary funding extension unless Republicans add in new funding. The Trump administration said in a court filing that some 4,000 workers across seven agencies should be laid off instead. A HUD official said the largest office targeted by the 442 layoffs at that agency is the Fair ...

Sinclair holds firm: Rejects airing Jimmy Kimmel while ABC parent-company Disney touts return

By Virginia Kruta | Daily Wire Sinclair owns nearly 40 ABC affiliates across the United States, including one in Washington, D.C.

Sinclair owns nearly 40 ABC affiliates across the country — including one in the nation’s capital — and while those affiliates will preempt Kimmel’s show for the time being, the broadcasting group released a statement indicating that a deal could be reached in the future. https://twitter.com/WeAreSinclair/status/1970266039532306593 “Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live!...

White House Links Tylenol in Pregnancy to Autism, Pushes New Treatment Path

By Amanda Prestigiacomo | Daily Wire Trump said Tylenol use during pregnancy is linked to increased risk of autism. On Monday, President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced findings into the concerning spike in national autism rates, labeling one medication as a potential cause of autism, and another as a potential treatment. It was announced that the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy is tied to an increased risk of autism. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, one of the most widely used medications globally for pain relief and fever reduction. “Taking Tylenol is not good. I’ll say it. It’s not good,” Trump said, noting that it might be necessary if a pregnant woman spikes a very high fever. “There’s ...

Media Faces Backlash for Biased Coverage of Charlie Kirk Assassination

By Dan Schneider | The Daily Wire Even before Kirk’s assassination, President Trump was pushing broadcasters to restore balance to heal the political divide. The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has further exposed media bias, with outlets like MSNBC, CNN, and ABC labeling him “divisive” or “controversial” while downplaying leftist rhetoric that may have fueled violence. Posts by liberal school teachers cheering Kirk’s death and comments from Democrat politicians like Jasmine Crockett and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker inciting unrest reveal a double standard. This tragedy may finally force the elite legacy media to confront the effect their far-left bias has had on America. Even before Kirk’s assassination, President Trump was pushing broadcasters to restore balance to heal the p...

Charlie Kirk a Model of Faith and Courage in Public Life

By Isabel Brown | Commentary, The Daily Wire It’s not an exaggeration to say I owe everything to Charlie. Words will never be able to convey how devastated we are that Charlie Kirk was taken from us far too soon. I had the honor and privilege of not just knowing Charlie professionally as a fellow warrior in the conservative movement, but as a close friend and my most influential mentor for the past eight years. All of you know Charlie for what you saw on social media and television — a fierce fighter with strong convictions who deeply loved our country and fearlessly advocated for his vision for a stronger future. I spent a lot of time with this Charlie — speaking on college campuses and facing the crowds of protesters with a smile on our faces, staying up into all hours of the...

Boebert’s request for prayer denied by Democrats in House chamber

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday while at an event in Utah. Democrats objected after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) requested a spoken prayer from the House floor for conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday while holding an event at a university in Utah.  Kirk, 31, was shot and killed during an appearance at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. He was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead. As news of the assassination spread, House Speaker Mike Johnson held a moment of silence in the House for Kirk. After the moment of silence, Boebert asked for a verbal prayer. “I believe silent prayer gets silent results,” Boebert said, according to the Wall Street Journal. Boebert’s request wa...

GOP reps demand removal of judge who freed violent offender before train murder

By Virginia Kruta | Daily Wire “Ms. Zarutska’s murder was not only a profound personal tragedy but also a direct result of a failure of judicial responsibility.” Ten North Carolina Republican Reps., led by Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC), called on Tuesday for the removal of Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, who released 14-time offender Decarlos Johnson Jr. before he murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. Moore shared a letter, signed by nine of his colleagues, in which he called on Chief Judge Roy Wiggins to begin “formal removal proceedings” against Stokes, saying that her decision to release Johnson — based solely on his written promise to return for his next court date — had been, at best, “reckless.” “Despite his history of violent and unstable behavior, Magistrate Stokes release...

Former Army Commander Warns America Still Vulnerable 24 Years After 9/11

By Rick Lynch | Commentary, The Daily Wire In order to maintain our freedoms we need a strong military. The terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, were a wake-up call for America, and I sincerely hope it is not one we as a nation have forgotten. There are still folks out there who hate our freedoms and our way of life. We are no longer protected by oceans and geographical distance from potential enemies. We must always remember we are a nation at risk and be prepared for the next attack. I do believe in peace through strength. I was the Assistant Division Commander for the U.S. Army’s 4th Infantry Division on the 11th of September in 2001. I was in the middle of packing to head to the airport when my wife Sarah asked me to turn on the television. Those TV images are still etch...

New Bill Rolls Back Decades-Old Gun Law on Suppressors

By Brent Scher | The Daily Wire What looked like a small throw-in legislative win could pave the way for a seismic legal victory for Second Amendment advocates. Plenty of ink has been spilled on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the sweeping piece of budget reconciliation legislation that cuts taxes, creates “Trump accounts” for newborns, and grants an unprecedented new surge of funding in support of mass deportation and border security efforts. But one of the law’s biggest impacts may be its unfurling of a longstanding gun law that firearms enthusiasts and Second Amendment advocates have long had in their sights. The government has imposed a tax on suppressors, tools that are used to dampen the sound of a gunshot, ever since 1934, when the National Firearms Act was passed. Thank...

“Devastating trend”: High school seniors hit record-low reading levels

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire "The achievement gap between students is widening, not shrinking." The Trump administration renewed its push to return control of education to the states after new data revealed continued declines in the reading, math, and science scores of high school seniors nationwide. The National Center for Education Statistics released the “Nation’s Report Card” for 12th-grade students on Tuesday, finding that reading levels had reached new lows and math scores were the worst in 20 years. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said that the numbers confirmed a “devastating trend” of American students testing at “historic lows.” “Despite billions in federal spending and countless well-intentioned programs, the achievement gap between students is widen...
