Trump closes commercial trucking loophole after deadly crashes involving illegal immigrant drivers

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced a plan Friday to prevent illegal aliens from driving commercial trucks in the United States. “The process for issuing [commercial drivers’ licenses] is absolutely 100% broken,” Duffy said at a press conference. “It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency that requires action right. https://twitter.com/TheElizMitchell/status/1971572076030152982 The announcement comes after an illegal alien truck driver killed three people in a Florida traffic crash while making an illegal U-turn. He apparently was not able to understand the street signs. California had issued the commercial driver’s license. “The combination of a catastrophic failure of states t...

RNC Takes Lead on Trump Election-Integrity Agenda Ahead of 2026 Midterms

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal The Republican National Committee is executing President Donald Trump’s election-integrity agenda ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.  “Through our litigation efforts, we are very focused on helping the president achieve his goals around election security,” an RNC official told The Daily Signal.  Trump signed an executive order in March requiring states to use proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration, setting Election Day as the uniform deadline for receiving ballots in federal elections, and conditioning federal election funding on compliance with those and other election-integrity rules.  The RNC is working to defend Trump’s executive order in states where practices prohibite...

Erika Kirk Forgives Assassin As Millions Honor Charlie Kirk’s Vision

By Jarrett Stepman, Lorenzo Prieto, Al Perrotta | The Daily Signal A massive funeral for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk held on Sunday featured some of the most prominent members of President Donald Trump’s administration and countless other speakers, including Kirk’s widow Erika, who when speaking of her husband’s assassin declared “I forgive him.” The New York Post reported on Sunday that the Arizona Cardinals stadium, with a 73,000 person capacity, “filled up within hours of doors opening at 8 a.m. local time.” But with other spaces around the stadium being filled, the total number of people in attendance was likely over 200,000 the Post reported. Here are some of the most prominent speeches of the afternoon. 1. ‘I Forgive Him’ In this moment of anger and turm...

Violence tied to transgender ideology grows harder to ignore

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal An increasing number of alleged murderers, mass shooters, and violent offenders have apparently tried to silence Christians or critics of transgender ideology, acting on the assumption that those who disagree with transgender claims represent a violent threat. The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk only underscores this unnerving trend, and makes the case for the FBI to formally characterize the threat of transgender ideology violent extremism. The Oversight Project and The Heritage Foundation formally called on the FBI Thursday to use its authority under 18 U.S. Code § 2331 to designate this threat, and I wholeheartedly agree. The FBI declined to comment on the subject when approached Friday. That statute defines&...

President Trump team outlines crackdown on left-wing NGOs with ties to violence after Kirk assassination

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal The Trump administration will only investigate left-wing groups with a provable tie to violence following the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, an administration official told The Daily Signal. The focus of investigations will be Antifa-like groups involved in the online conspiracy to assassinate Turning Point USA founder Kirk on Sept. 10, the source said. This comes after Vice President JD Vance and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Monday discussed plans to “go after” leftist nongovernmental organizations due to Kirk’s killing. “We’re going to go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates, and engages in violence,” Vance said. “We are going to channel all of the anger that we hav...

ABC Drops Jimmy Kimmel After Cruel Joke About Charlie Kirk

By Rob Bluey | Commentary, The Daily Signal Jimmy Kimmel is off the air. Good riddance. The vile and disgusting ABC late-night host used his Monday night monologue to make this comment about Charlie Kirk’s assassin (emphasis added): “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” Yes, you read that correctly. And to make matters worse, Kimmel then proceeded to play a video mocking President Donald Trump and suggesting that he wasn’t grieving over Kirk’s death. This is apparently the sad and pathetic state of late-night comedy in 2025. It’s no wonder Americans are turning off has-been comedi...

Sen. Lee seeks to reinstate safeguard against domestic propaganda

By Jacob Adams | The Daily Signal Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is calling on Congress to pass the Charlie Kirk Act, which would restrict the broadcasting of federally funded programming intended for foreign audiences within America’s borders. The Utah senator posted on the social media platform X on Sunday, declaring, “Domestic, political, government-funded propaganda must end now,” and explaining that he would be reintroducing legislation intended to restore the original Smith-Mundt Act, renamed in honor of Charlie Kirk, the conservative leader who was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.  Kirk’s slaying—and legacy—have become the subject of public debate with misleading or outright false claims made about the Turnin...

JD Vance Urges Faith and Boldness in Tribute to Charlie Kirk

By Lorenzo Prieto | The Daily Signal During these dark hours after the death of Charlie Kirk, Americans need to “have faith” in the Lord and “be bold,” Vice President JD Vance said Monday while hosting a special episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show.” “On a podcast a couple of months back, Charlie was asked about how he’d want to be remembered if he died. His answer: ‘I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith. That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith.’ And that was Charlie,” Vance said. “And in this dark moment for our country, I think that’s the greatest lesson any of us can take from Charlie. To have faith.” The vice president then explained that the best way to honor Kirk’s legacy is “to be bold in our pursuits,” as Kirk was in life. “...

Schools tell students not to cheat—yet cheat by rebranding DEI to keep race-based ideology alive

By Jonathan Butcher, Mike Gonzalez | Commentary, The Daily Signal It’s back-to-school season, and some teachers have promised that the racist ideas from diversity, equity, and inclusion would not be in their classrooms this year. That’s the good news. The bad news is that many of these teachers and administrators are clearly telling whoppers. In fact, K-12 schools and colleges around the country are disguising their DEI offices and their racial preferences. Take Maryland, across the border from the nation’s capital and where many federal bureaucrats sleep and send their children to school. State education officials said schools would comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders calling on schools to reject DEI, citing the ways in which DEI...

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy of Faith, Courage and Conviction

By Bradley Devlin | Commentary, The Daily Signal “The more a society drifts away from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” Charlie James Kirk knew the cost of telling the truth. Without fear, he paid with his life. He was 31. On Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 4:40 p.m., President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the “Legendary” Kirk, the conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, was assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University. In this world, he leaves behind his wife, Erika, and their two children. Every day, his son and daughter will wake up without their father; every day Erika will wake up without her husband; and every day, they will wake up in a better country because of him. As will I. I first met Charlie at a Turning...
