Trump Reveals Declassified Election Findings and Calls for SAVE America Act

By Amanda Head | Just the News The documents reportedly reveal that there was a concerted and conscientious effort by the IC not to tell the president (Trump at the time), Congress or the American people. On Thursday at the White House, President Donald Trump addressed the nation and presented new evidence detailing multiple security breaches in elections he said were concealed by a self-proclaimed "shadow government" and the Biden administration. "Another official inside the FBI wrote that she was running 'a shadow government' to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known," he said, during a primetime address from the White House. The Chinese hacked while the Democrats denied According to Trump and subsequent documents to be ...

House Approves Permanent Daylight Saving Time Bill Sending Measure to Senate

By Alice Gibbs and Amanda Castro | Newsweek The House on Tuesday approved a measure to end the twice‑yearly ritual of changing the clocks, handing President Donald Trump a political win, who has pushed for permanent daylight saving time despite objections from sleep experts and lawmakers in states that would see much later winter sunrises. The proposal now heads to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. The House approved the bill by a bipartisan 308-117 vote, one of the strongest congressional showings yet for ending the twice-yearly clock change. However, Senate leaders have not committed to bringing it up for a vote, and some senators have already indicated opposition, meaning the measure faces a more difficult path despite broad House support. The Sunshine P...

By: Megan Cerullo | CBS News The U.S. Mint will start producing a new $1 gold coin bearing President Trump's face, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Wednesday on X, the latest example of how Mr. Trump is trying to leave a mark on federal symbols and institutions.  Part of the administration's efforts to commemorate the U.S.' 250th birthday, Bessent said the coin will "honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism."  "Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all," he added.  The coin is already in production and will be available beginning this fall, a spokesperson for the Treasury Department told CBS Ne...

Trump Orders ICE Back to Traffic Stops as Agents Welcome Reversal

By Jennie Taer | The Daily Wire "Not sure how they don't consult Trump about this before they send out guidance to every field office." After just one day of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ordering officers to temporarily stop making traffic stops, President Donald Trump said he’d like them to resume, and federal immigration officers are cheering on his push. The pause on vehicle stops came in the wake of two fatal shootings of migrants by ICE officers in Houston and Maine. ICE said the Houston shooting involved a Mexican illegal immigrant who “weaponized” his vehicle against ICE officers. In the Biddeford, Maine, case, an officer fatally shot a Colombian man who “attempted to flee the scene” of a traffic stop. Both incidents are under investig...

The rise of DSA, and a platform to rewrite the Constitution.

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Six thousand people started the Democratic Socialists of America in 1982. The number didn't move much for thirty years. Then, around 2016, it did. By July 4, 2026, DSA had 120,000 members, more than the Socialist Party of America ever had under Eugene Debs, whose dues-paying membership peaked back in 1912. Four days before that count came out, one of the new members, Melat Kiros of Denver, won a primary against a congresswoman first elected in 1996. The growth is one story. What the organization actually wants is the more important one. From 6,000 to 120,000 DSA was born from a merger, not a single founding moment. In 1982, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, founded in 1973, joined with the New ...

Utilities Push Record $9.2 Billion In New Rate Increases During Second Quarter

By Scott Weiser | The Denver Gazette Colorado had no requests last quarter Electric and gas utilities sought a record $9.2 billion in rate increases nationwide during the second quarter, according to a new analysis by the consumer advocacy organization PowerLines, as utilities continue seeking billions for grid upgrades, reliability improvements and growing electricity demand. The filings would affect more than 56 million customers and push this year’s total requested rate increases to $18.6 billion, the consumer advocacy group said. Colorado was largely absent from the report’s tally of second-quarter rate requests because Xcel Energy’s major electric rate case was already pending before the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. The utility originally so...

John Deere Settlement Expands Farmers Right to Repair Nationwide

By: Michael Booth | The Colorado Sun The agreement with the federal government and five states to allow more access to fix agricultural equipment is a win for farmers and consumer advocates. Major farm equipment dealer John Deere has agreed to a “right to repair” that Colorado farm and consumer advocates were key in launching, settling with the federal government and five states to give access to diagnostics and fixes for crucial agricultural equipment.  Colorado in 2023 became the first state to pass a law guaranteeing right to repair, and now industry leader John Deere has acknowledged that right should exist across the country, said Tyler Garrett, chief executive of the trade group Rocky Mountain Farmers Union.  The farmers union and CoPIRG, consu...

Michigan Senator Draws Fire Over SAVE Act Comments On Election Integrity

By: M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist Michigan Dem Sen. Elissa Slotkin said the SAVE America Act would make it ‘hard for any Democrat in any state to win an election.’ Leftist Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., has lost a lot of weight in recent months. She hasn’t gained any integrity.  At a town hall with constituents, the Michigan Democrat said the quit part out loud, explaining why her party opposes the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also known as the SAVE America Act. The legislative package would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and photo identification to cast a ballot, and it would demand states clean up their dirty voter rolls. As The Federalist has reported, the ...

Former HHS Official Says Hundreds of Thousands of Migrant Children Remain Unaccounted For

By Romas P.S. Moore | Center for Immigration Studies New information revealing the scale of the Biden administration’s shockingly negligent handling of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) was divulged by former senior Health and Human Services (HHS) appointee John Fabbricatore in a presentation at the Heritage Foundation last week. Roughly 540,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended after crossing illegally during the Biden administration. About 448,000 were released to sponsors. According to one Department of Homeland Security investigation, 233,000 were subsequently unaccounted for, with the government uncertain of their whereabouts. Fabbricatore said that HHS did not know the whereabouts of 291,000 children it had released from custody. Fabbricatore help...
