Justice Thomas exposes the absurdity of nationwide injunctions with one simple question

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist On Thursday, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas injected a healthy dose of reality into Supreme Court oral arguments over the issue of nationwide injunctions on President Trump’s birthright citizenship order. The moment came during an exchange between Thomas and U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer on the history of nationwide injunctions. Such orders seek to prohibit the federal government from implementing a certain law or policy against all applicable persons, regardless of whether those individuals are parties to the case before the court. In Thursday’s hearing, Thomas asked Sauer — who represented the Trump administration — about the history of nationwide injunctions and when courts first started issuing such orders. The solicitor general answe...

Medical school accreditor suspends ‘diversity’ requirements after Trump executive order

By  Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist A major medical school accreditor responsible for all graduate-level medical programs announced it would suspend some of its “diversity” requirements, roughly two weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order cracking down on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements among accreditors. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) explained that it would be pausing some “diversity” requirements over “concerns” from “multiple constituents in several states” that they might violate state or federal law. “The ACGME has heard significant concerns from multiple constituents in several states and from federal Sponsoring Institutions about their ability to comply with some of the ACGME requirement...

Davidson: Why Pope Leo XIV will probably not be Francis 2.0

By John Daniel Davidson | The Federalist It didn’t take long after Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, emerged onto the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica on Thursday as the new leader of the Catholic Church for social media commentators on the right to begin decrying him as “Francis 2.0.” This snap judgment was based largely on his social media history of reposting criticisms of President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance on immigration policy, as well as a few reposts of left-wing claptrap on climate change and race relations.  So does this mean the 69-year-old Chicago-born Pope Leo is going to be the next Pope Francis? The short answer is: probably not. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Davidson: The statue of the random black woman in Times Square Is leftist cultural warfare

By John Daniel Davidson | The Federalist, Commentary The cultural parasites of the left have struck again. This time, they have erected a bronze statue of a 12-foot-tall anonymous overweight black woman in New York City’s Times Square, where it will stand for the next month. Matt Walsh asked on X whether it was a particular person “or just a statue of a random black woman for no apparent reason?” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

The left’s sudden crusade for ‘Due process’ is a political smokescreen to defend mass migration

By  Brianna Lyman | The Federalist For weeks, media bombarded Americans with reports about a “Maryland father” who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador — a sympathetic figure supposedly plucked from the streets in a suburb in Baltimore. At the time it appeared the only available detail that stained Democrats’ caricature of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was his alleged involvement in MS-13. Such an allegation didn’t deter Democrats from rushing to his defense, with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen going so far as to fly to El Salvador to sit down with Abrego Garcia — a surreal photo-op complete with margaritas. But as Hollen made his visit to El Salvador, new details surfaced: Abrego Garcia wasn’t just allegedly linked to MS-13 — he was also an accused wife-beater and hum...

Senators demand Obama-Era inspector general’s cooperation in probe of J6 undercover agents

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist Two prominent senators sent a letter this week to Inspector General Michael Horowitz, pressing him to fully cooperate with their investigation of undercover “confidential human sources” in the crowd at the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Horowitz, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2012, has failed to respond to requests for information about confidential human sources on Jan. 6, according to Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. They sent Horowitz a letter on Dec. 16, seeking more information about his Dec. 12 report on how the FBI handled its confidential human sources in advance of J6. ...

DOGE: Criminal aliens paroled by Biden took in $1.3 Million in taxpayer handouts  

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist While the left goes about its little “Hands Off!” temper-tantrum, their leaders have forced Americans to pick up the tab in government benefits for “paroled” illegal immigrants convicted of crimes — even suspected terrorists.  The Biden administration paid out at least  $1.3 million in Medicaid, student loans, tax refunds, and other federal government benefits and payments to thousands of paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “Under the Biden administration, it was routine for [U.S.] Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” the government fat trimmer said Friday in an X post.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE...

Republicans win special house elections, expanding slim majority

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist Republican candidates won both special House elections in Florida on Tuesday night, expanding the party’s slim majority in the lower chamber. According to The New York Times, Republican Jimmy Patronis is projected to defeat Democrat Gay Valimont in the Sunshine State’s 1st Congressional District. Located in the Florida Panhandle, the district’s residents overwhelmingly supported President Donald Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The seat was left open following the resignation of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who stepped down after being nominated by Trump to serve as attorney general. Gaetz ultimately withdrew his nomination to the position after facing resistance from several GOP senators reportedly opposed to his ...

21 Million Voters Can’t Provide Proof Of Citizenship — Making The SAVE Act Even More Necessary

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist The left-wing Brennan Center for Justice claimed that more than 20 million Americans “lack ready access” to proof of citizenship documents. What’s more, the group asserted that survey data shows nearly 4 million Americans “don’t have these documents at all.” The Brennan Center apparently relied on the honor system when performing its survey, so it’s not clear that the respondents are even American citizens — as is often the case with the current voter registration system. But even if they are citizens, failing to require proof of citizenship still poses a threat to the integrity of U.S. elections. Yet the left and the propaganda press oppose the SAVE Act because they claim Americans are essentially too lazy to get their citizenship documents in order...

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...
