More Democratic lawmakers are visiting El Salvador on Abrego Garcia’s behalf

By AP | Breitbart Four House Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to call attention to the plight of a man the Trump administration deported to a Salvadoran prison and has refused to help return — even after the Supreme Court ruled that it was the government’s duty to do so. Reps. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Maxwell Frost of Florida and Robert Garcia of California arrived in the Central American nation on Sunday to investigate the condition of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had lived in the United States for more than a decade. The Trump administration deported him, a move that administration officials have said in court filings was erroneous. But despite a Supreme Court ordering the Trump administration to help facilitate Abrego Garcia’s retu...

Chuck Schumer on the wrong side of Democrats

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing sharp criticism within his own party for voting with Republicans on the CR to prevent government shutdown. A significant 80% of Democratic discussion about Schumer’s vote on the CR is negative, with 70% of overall discussion among Democrats also negative. Republicans are taking the opportunity to claim a narrative win as Democrats continue to struggle with the future direction and leadership of their party.  Chuck Schumer backed the Republican-led Continuing Resolution (CR) to prevent a government shutdown, causing a political firestorm in his own party. Normally a routine funding measure, the CR exposes fractures in Democratic ranks, raises questions about Schumer’s leadership, and gives Rep...

Trump, Elon Musk’s DOGE team are doing what Democrats promised ‘for decades,’ press secretary says

By The Fox News Staff White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Democrats' hypocritical position ahead of DOGE's Social Security audit. Leavitt defended President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's objectives on "Hannity" Monday, pointing out that former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton championed rooting out waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars. KAROLINE LEAVITT: If you just watched that video, but shut your eyes and listen to the words from those Democrat politicians, you would think you are listening to President Trump, Elon Musk and our entire administration, who are saying the exact same things that Democrat politicians promised the American people they would do for decades. President Trump is just the first president in our lifetimes to actually do it. And no...

Kirk: What is Democracy?

By Charlie Kirk | Breitbart For your edification, here’s a selection of recent headlines published in our major news outlets: “Elon Musk’s political power grab threatens democracy and the economy.” “How Trump’s war on federal workers threatens democracy.” “Trump showdown with courts puts U.S. on the brink of abandoning democracy.” “Trump’s blitz to expand his power is direct threat to democracy, experts say.” I could find a few dozen more if I wanted, but I think you get the point. The Washington swamp and its media allies have settled on their line of attack against the new Trump administration, and it’s a tired one: Our democracy is in peril! READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Tom Homan to ‘seek prosecution’ against Phil Murphy if he is harboring illegal immigrant

By Jenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Border czar Tom Homan will “look into” whether Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) is harboring an illegal immigrant as he claimed. This threat comes after Murphy said at an event that someone in his “broader universe, whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to,” is living “at our house above our garage.” “Good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,” Murphy said in the clip.

Democrat lawyers call for congress to block Trump from taking office

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Two Democrat lawyers called for Congress to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office in an op-ed published by the Hill on Thursday, prompting disbelief and ridicule from Republicans. In the piece titled “Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now,” lawyers Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte argued that the Constitution says an insurrectionist is ineligible to be president and “the evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming.” They argued that the “matter has been decided in three separate forums” — one of which they said was the Rep. Nancy Pelosi-appointed January 6th Committee — which a recent House Republican review into the committee concluded was “designed...

Marianne Williamson, 72, formerly a candidate for President, launches bid to become next DNC chair 

By Samantha-Jo Roth | The Washington Examiner Former Democratic presidential candidate and author Marianne Williamson launched a bid to become chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday, joining a crowded field of candidates attempting to “make things right” for the party after its election losses last month.  “MAGA is a distinctly 21st century political movement and it will not be defeated by a 20th century tool kit. Data analysis, fundraising, field organizing, and beefed-up technology — while all are important — will not be enough to prepare the way for Democratic victory in 2024 and beyond. That’s why I have decided to run for DNC Chair this year,” Williamson wrote in a post on her Substack on Thursday morning.  Wil...

Democratic voters oust soft-on-crime prosecutors

By Dan Hart | Daily Signal It appears that even in Democratic strongholds, voters have had enough with soft-on-crime policies that have been implemented by left-wing prosecutors in recent years. In California and Illinois, three district attorneys who enacted lenient criminal policies were ousted during Tuesday’s election. In addition, a ballot measure to toughen criminal penalties in California was passed overwhelmingly. In Los Angeles County, which Vice President Kamala Harris won by almost 30 points, Democratic District Attorney George Gascón lost by 22 points to Nathan Hochman, an independent. Gascón, who was elected with the backing of George Soros in the wake of the George Floyd killing in 2020, became known for eliminating cash bail and refusing to charge ...
