Chief Justice scolds Trump over call to impeach Federal Judge in deportation case: ‘Not an appropriate response’

By  David Zimmermann | National Review Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement on Tuesday pushing back on President Donald Trump after he called for the impeachment of an Obama-appointed judge, who temporarily blocked the Republican administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan illegal immigrants associated with the Tren de Aragua gang. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.” Earlier in the day, Trump blasted U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington, D.C., as a “troublemaker” and “agitator” who wasn’t elected in an “overwhelming mandate” by the...

Putin agrees to incremental, temporary ceasefire while Trump seeks more ties with Russia in phone call

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an incremental and temporary ceasefire during a marathon phone call with President Donald Trump, which included the possibility of a peace deal in the overseas conflict. Trump and Putin began their phone call at 10:00 a.m. and it lasted at least an hour and a half before the White House signaled to reporters that the conversation was over. The White House released a summary of the call, writing that the two world leaders “agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.” “This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infr...

 Stranded NASA astronauts depart ISS for Earth

By Simon Kent | Breitbart NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were on their way home Tuesday after being stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) orbital laboratory for 286 days. Their return is thanks in no small part to the combined drive and ambition of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to “go get them.” The pair decided to accelerate the astronauts’ return and laid the blame for their troubles on the tardy Biden administration.

Tristan: Is Trump administration’s DOGE cutting waste or slashing jobs?

By George Tristan | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice In November 2002, I was informed I would be terminated from a well-paying position at Hewlett-Packard. The HP layoffs (approximately 30,000 employees) were prompted by volatile industry turmoil (Dotcom bust) and a merger with Compaq. The 10 years of employment at HP were some of the very best of my career. HP, at that time, was the darling of the Silicon Valley empire, as the Palo Alto garage where Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started the fledgling company is a California landmark and considered by many the birthplace of the high-tech industry.  This dramatic upheaval in the telecommunications industry resulted in a labor market flooded with unemployed IT professionals. With few options, I accepted a management position ...

Judge who ordered deportation flights of Venezuelan gang members be returned faces calls for impeachment

By Alec Schemmel  | Fox News After Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg issued an order Saturday halting President Donald Trump's rapid deportation of Venezuelan gang members, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill swiftly announced plans to file articles of impeachment in an effort to remove him. Gill made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, noting he would be filing the motion this week. In a subsequent tweet from Elon Musk, the entrepreneur turned Trump advisor responded simply, "Necessary." "The very worst judges – those who repeatedly flout the law – should at least be put to an impeachment vote, whether that vote succeeds or not," Musk followed up in a separate post on X Monday.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Chaos and fraud: A look at the allegations facing ActBlue

By Robert Schmad | Washington Examiner, Commentary The Democratic Party’s premier fundraising machine is facing an uncertain future amid investigations, staff departures, and political headwinds. ActBlue stands accused by Republicans of illegally collecting money for Democrats during the 2024 election by using deceptive methods. But its brushes with controversy go back further than the last cycle. And its next chapter could be consequential for a Democratic Party that is out of power and directionless. Part 1 of this Washington Examiner series will look at what accusations ActBlue is facing. Republicans in Washington and in states across the nation have accused Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue of a wide range of wrongdoing, from foreign money laundering to financing ...

Trump’s victory lap at DOJ

By Julie Kelly | Substack On March 14, 2024, I was in the media room at the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon at the time was presiding over a hearing on two motions filed by defense lawyers representing Donald Trump and his co-defendants seeking to dismiss the classified documents indictment handed down by then Special Counsel Jack Smith in June 2023. My report on the proceedings is here. Trump’s defense lawyers, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, were in the courtroom that day representing the president. They were simultaneously defending Trump in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg; it was a fraught time as the president also faced a separate federal criminal indictment in Washington related to January 6. (Those proc...

Huckabee-Sanders: Get rid of the Education Department. Give power to parents

By Sarah Huckabee Sanders | Fox News, Commmentary Long before I was governor of Arkansas or White House press secretary, I came to Washington as a bright-eyed college graduate for my first real job at the Department of Education. I thought I was there to change the world and found myself spending more time changing coffee filters.  But I walked away with one, crystal-clear lesson: it’s time to abolish the federal Department of Education.  I’m a mom of three, so I know that no two kids – not even in the same family – learn the same way. It’s ridiculous, then, to assume that every kid in every community in America would have the same education needs or goals. But that’s exactly the way the Department of Education functions.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS...

Immigration officials arrest second pro-Palestinian protester from Columbia

By AP via Scripps News Immigration officials have arrested a second person who participated in Pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, and have revoked the visa of another student, they announced Friday. Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian from the West Bank, was arrested by immigration officers for overstaying her student visa, the Department of Homeland Security said. Kordia’s visa was terminated in January 2022 for “lack of attendance,” the department said. Kordia was previously arrested for her involvement in protests at Columbia in April 2024, it added. The Trump administration also revoked the visa of Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian citizen and doctoral student, on March 5 “for advocating for violence and terrorism." On Tuesday, Srinivasan opted to “self-deport,” the departme...

Trump slams ‘communist’ persecution of conservatives while speaking at DOJ

By  Logan Washburn | The Federalist The Department of Justice was persecuting Donald Trump with sham trials just last year. But today, now-President Trump spoke at the DOJ, calling out the “communist” federal persecution of conservatives. “They tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and Third World country, but in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won,” Trump said. “There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked.” A “corrupt group of hacks and radicals” in the federal government “weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people,” Tru...
