Democrats call EPA rollback of $7B solar grants illegal, but the new law says cancel it

By Thérèse Boudreaux | Daily Signal THE CENTER SQUARE—The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it will claw back $7 billion in already earmarked funds from the Solar for All community grants and then eliminate the program, a move that Democrats claim is against the law. “This money was intended for our constituents and communities to help lower energy bills,” Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, D-N.J., stated Friday. “Clawing these funds back isn’t just brazenly illegal—it’s a betrayal by this administration of working families who will now pay higher energy bills just so Republicans can grind their axe against clean energy.” The repeal of the program, however, directly implements orders from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, whic...

800% spike in ICE attacks blamed on ‘radical left’ by agency director

BY BRADLEY DEVLIN | THE DAILY SIGNAL https://youtu.be/61QbHhHtVY0?feature=shared This article is a preview of Politics Editor Bradley Devlin’s interview with acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons on “The Signal Sitdown.” Watch the full episode on YouTube by clicking on the video above. Two months ago, violent riots broke out in America’s second-largest city after immigration enforcement officers served legal warrants, signed by a judge, to individuals in this country illegally.  The rioters, which the media assured you were “mostly peaceful,” laid siege to federal buildings, attacked law enforcement officers, lit cop cars on fire, and looted businesses for days—all while flying the flag of a foreign country. Of course, we’re talking about the Los...

1,500 Truckers Pulled Off the Road for Failing English Rule Revived by Trump

By Fred Lucas | The Daily Signal FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Following new guidelines from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to enforce English language proficiency for commercial truck drivers, 1,500 drivers have had their licenses placed out of service by law enforcement, The Daily Signal has learned. “‘America First’ means safety first. Americans are a lot safer on roads alongside truckers who can understand and interpret our traffic signs,” Duffy said in May at the signing of the guidelines. “This commonsense change ensures the penalty for failure to comply is more than a slap on the wrist.”  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a division of the Transportation Department, has had longstanding English-language proficiency requirements.  ...

Colorado school faces SCOTUS test over hiding gender transition from parents

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | Daily Signal FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The America First Policy Institute asked the Supreme Court to hear the case of two families whose daughters were exposed to transgender ideology behind their backs. In 2021, Erin Lee’s 12-year-old daughter was invited by her art teacher to come to art club after school in the Poudre School District in Fort Collins, Colorado. Little did Lee know, it was a Gay Straight Awareness club where a guest speaker told her daughter if she’s “not 100% comfortable in her female body, she’s transgender.” The 12-year-old girl, who was new to the middle school, then adopted a transgender identity and was affirmed by the art club. The guest speaker, Kimberly Chambers, director of SPLASH Youth, an LGBTQ group ope...

Court lets defamation case against SPLC proceed over weaponized ‘hate’ label of Dustin Inman Society

By Tyler O'Neil | The Daily Signal How can a leftist group present itself as the authority on “hate groups” in public, touting the fact that police and even the FBI have relied on its materials, and then reverse course when challenged in court, claiming that its statements are unprovable “opinion” rather than expert statements of fact? Has the Southern Poverty Law Center no shame? To ask the question is to answer it. As I wrote in my book “Making Hate Pay,” the SPLC has long engaged in ritual character assassination, putting mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits on a “hate map” with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, claiming that the map exposes the “infrastructure upholding white supremacy.” It persisted in doing this after the “hate map” inspired a terrorist att...

Brown: Why the Left Fears Women Who Choose Family

By Isabel Brown | Commentary, The Daily Signal If there’s one thing the corporate media hates more than tradition, it’s motherhood. We’ve seen it time and again, from the glossy magazine covers glorifying “child-free” living to the snide late-night jokes about “breeders” and “stay-at-home moms.” It’s no longer subtle. The war on motherhood is loud, proud, and broadcast 24/7 across every major platform. And make no mistake—this isn’t just about personal choice. It’s a coordinated cultural campaign to devalue perhaps women’s most essential role: being a mother. While I’ve always been aware of this assault on motherhood, it became increasingly clear to me after I found out I was pregnant last fall. Suddenly, this wasn’t an abstract concept, but very real propaganda attempting to conv...

The Puppet Presidency, Insider Warned Biden Not in Charge

By Joseph E. Schmitz | Commentary, The Daily Signal On June 18, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the concealment of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. This hearing will start to shed a congressional light on the apparent misuse of the presidential autopen. According to President Donald Trump’s June 4, memorandum, “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.” The chief speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, Kenneth Khachigian, published an article on May 30 in The Wall Street Journal, which concludes that Americans have been “cynically hoodwinked,” so much so that “Mr. Biden’s using an autopen”—assuming he actually knew about it—“and Attorney General [Merrick] Garland’s declining to release the ...

President Trump sends in the National Guard as LA riots spiral after ICE raids

By Tyler O'Neil | Daily Signal UPDATE: Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said in a Sunday evening press conference that the violence was “getting increasingly worse and more violent.” “This violence that I’ve seen, it’s disgusting,” McDonnell said, according to Fox News. “It’s escalated now, since the beginning of this incident. What we saw the first night was bad. What we’ve seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent.” “We’ve seen people with hammers … breaking the bollards behind the federal building and taking the rocks. If you will, or pieces of concrete and throwing them at officers,” McDonnell added. “We’ve had liquid—of who knows what, description thrown at officers. There’s no limit to what they’re, doing to our officers,” he added. ...

Law and order works: U.S. murder rate plunges 20% under President Trump

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | Daily Signal President Donald Trump’s law and order agenda is to thank for the murder rate dropping by 20% this year so far, the White House said Tuesday. Crime data analyst Jeff Asher reviewed the most homicide-prone cities nationwide and found a more than 20% decrease from 2024. “Since President Trump took office, murder rates have plummeted across the entire United States,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Daily Signal in a statement. “American families were promised their communities would be safer and President Trump swiftly delivered by vocally being tough on crime, unequivocally backing law enforcement, and standing firm on violent criminals being held to the fullest extent of the law.” As of early May, murders wer...

Bhagat and Terjesen: To stay competitive, U.S. markets must reward performance—not politics

By Sanjai Bhagat and Siri Terjesen | The Daily Signal President Donald Trump’s America First Investment Policy touts that welcoming foreign investment and strengthening the United States’ “world-leading private and public capital markets will be a key part of America’s Golden Age.” Of the $124 trillion market capitalization of the global stock market, U.S. stocks account for 49%, and international investors own 17% of those U.S. stocks. By comparison, Chinese stocks comprise 13% of the global stock market, and international equity ownership of Chinese stocks is just 3.4%. Why does the U.S. stock market dominate internationally? Why are international investors attracted to the U.S. stock market? What can U.S. policymakers do to increase the a...
