GOP lawmakers aim to restore anti-Chinese Communist Party initiative gutted under Biden

By Philip Lenczycki | Daily Caller Republican lawmakers introduced legislation on Friday to resurrect a program combatting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) espionage that was terminated by the Biden administration. If adopted, the Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act will establish a “CCP Initiative” in the Department of Justice’s National Security Division to “curb spying” from Beijing on U.S. “intellectual property and academic institutions,” according to the bill first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The CCP Initiative draws heavily from a similarly-named Trump administration program called the “China Initiative,” which the Biden administration ended in February 2022 after critics claimed it “fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias,” the DC...

Federal Trade Commission launches probe into big tech’s censorship of Americans

By Amber Duke | Daily Caller The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is opening up an official request for public comments on censorship by Big Tech companies. The agency is asking Americans to detail cases where they’ve faced consequences from companies for engaging in disfavored political speech, according to a draft document obtained by the Daily Caller. Requests for public comments by the FTC are often a precursor to formal investigations or agency-level policy changes, indicating the agency, helmed by Chairman Andrew Ferguson, does not intend to allow sweeping allegations of political censorship in prior years to go unchecked. “In case there was any doubt, Big Tech is on notice. We do not intend to take our foot off the gas any time soon. The days of censorship and monopolies are ...

Tom Homan reminds AOC he once had to ‘educate her’ about basic border law as two publicly beef

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller Border czar Tom Homan recalled Sunday on Fox News how he had to educate Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about the inner workings of border law after her recent public pushback telling him to “learn to read” the Constitution. In 2019, Homan stopped Ocasio-Cortez’s attack against him during a congressional hearing, where he had to inform her that border laws mirrored U.S. laws when discussing family separation. On “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” the Fox News host asked Homan for his response to Ocasio-Cortez, who had recently posted on X, stating Homan should “learn to read” and start with the Constitution in response to his Department of Justice (DOJ) warning.  “Look, I forgot more about the Constitution and immigratio...

Trump shows ‘leftist ideologues’ entrenched in military academies the exit

By Wallace White | Daily Caller President Donald Trump announced he was firing the board of visitors of all U.S. military academies on Monday in his continued crusade against “leftist ideologues” in the military.

USAID wasted billions of tax dollars on programs that actively harmed Americans

By Wallace White | Daily Caller While Democrats and corporate media outlets rail against President Donald Trump’s freeze on foreign aid, they fail to mention that Washington bureaucrats have poured billions into programs abroad that yield questionable value to American taxpayers. The New York Times, CNN, NPR and other liberal outlets have painted Trump’s day one executive order halting most foreign aid grants for 90 days as an effort to leave the world out to dry, with lawmakers such as Democratic New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons joining the chorus of condemnation against the loss of taxpayer funding for multi-billion dollar humanitarian programs. The new Trump administration’s goal of reducing gove...
