Senate Panel Blocks Bill Expanding Lawsuits Against Government Officials

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics A panel of Colorado legislators on Tuesday rejected legislation that would have allowed residents to sue federal and local officials in state court for alleged constitutional violations. Senate Bill 176 would have allowed individuals who have been subjected to a “deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities” afforded in the U.S. Constitution to sue for civil damages within two years of the alleged violation. The bill — sponsored by Sens. Mike Weissman, D-Aurora, and Julie Gonzales, D-Denver — included exceptions for federal officials with absolute or qualified immunity. Both forms of immunity come with exceptions. The measure, dubbed the “No Kings Act” by supporters, piggybacked off another measure sponsored ...

Trump Warns Iran As US Escorts Ships Through The Strait of Hormuz

By Morgan Phillips | Fox News The operation involves guided-missile destroyers, more than 100 aircraft and roughly 15,000 service members. The U.S. operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is unfolding under fire, with American forces intercepting Iranian missiles and drones and destroying attack boats targeting commercial shipping as they begin moving vessels through one of the world’s most critical waterways. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said two U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited the strait under the effort, dubbed "Project Freedom," even as Iranian officials rejected the claim as "baseless" and warned that any foreign military presence would be attacked. President Donald Trump warned that any Iranian strike on U.S. vessel...

These are the times that try men’s souls

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Do all Democrats hate the country? Surely not. Do all Democrats hate Donald J. Trump? Of course not. But many — perhaps most — do! This hate has got to stop! What has Trump-hate led to? During the first administration, the hatred led to frivolous attempts to impeach him in 2019. Frivolous because the evidence being used to justify an impeachment was MANUFACTURED by leftist Democrats who hate Trump and wanted him to fail. This Trump-hate continues to lead numerous renegade judges to create needless injunctions to Trump-backed measures that would greatly benefit our country and our culture. As of April 21, lawfaremedia.org states there are 316 active cases challenging Trump administration actions…including the ridiculo...

Congress Ends Historic DHS Shutdown Without Resolving Immigration Fight

By Jennifer Scholtes and Katherine Tully-McManus | POLITICO The House acted after weeks of delay to fund most Homeland Security agencies, which have gone unfunded for 76 days. On the 76th day since Department of Homeland Security funding lapsed, Congress passed a bill Thursday restoring the flow of federal dollars to most of its agencies — without solving any of the policy disagreements that led to the record-breaking shutdown. The House approved by voice vote the partial DHS funding measure the Senate passed more than a month ago. President Donald Trump is expected to swiftly sign the bipartisan legislation, fully funding the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with other offices within DHS that don’...

Bongino Fears Retaliation After Uncovering Sensitive Crossfire Hurricane File

By Misty Severi | Just the News Bongino, who left the bureau in January after roughly 10 months in the job, said he found the document in a burn bag that was related to the FBI probe into allegations of Russian collusion in President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confessed in an interview Tuesday that he lives in constant fear that he’ll face retaliation after he shed light on corruption in the bureau and because of a document he found related to Crossfire Hurricane. Bongino, who left the bureau in January after roughly 10 months in the job, said he found the document in a burn bag that was related to the FBI probe into allegations of Russia collusion in President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

GOP Urged To Refocus As Voter Turnout Concerns Mount for Midterms

By Leona Salinas | Commentary, The Washington Examiner Just eight weeks ago, during his State of the Union address, President Donald Trump argued that economic stabilization is underway. He stated that egg prices had fallen by 60% and cited declining gas prices as evidence of progress. Republicans thought they could walk into the 2026 midterm elections with the most dangerous assumption in politics: that because Trump is in office, the ground is secure. How quickly things can change in a matter of weeks. Gas prices scratched an average of $4.12 per gallon, and who is monitoring egg prices when there’s a much more pressing situation in the Middle East? Even as signs of stabilization appear, frustration remains high. And frustration d...

Trump Citizenship Order Gains Support From Unexpected Data Source

By Misty Severi | Just the News The Supreme Court is weighing the legality of Trump's executive order that looks to end birthright citizenship and "birth tourism," which the administration argues “rewards illegal immigration." President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship could be stronger after a recent study from the Pew Research Center found 9% of births in the U.S. in 2023 were to illegal migrants.  The Supreme Court is weighing the legality of Trump's executive order that looks to end birthright citizenship, which the administration argues “rewards illegal immigration."  Trump imposed the order last year as a means to deter pregnant tourists from having their babies i...

Trump Signs Executive Orders To Fast Track U.S. Energy Infrastructure

By Kevin Killough | Just the News The five orders seek to address a number of bottlenecks and impediments to coal, natural gas and petroleum production, including financial support, infrastructure development, improved supply chains, and permit expediting. President Donald Trump has signed five executive orders that address critical segments of the nation’s energy infrastructure – a move made under the presidential determinations of the Defense Production Act that allows a U.S. president to mobilize industry for purposes of national security.  The two-term president has long pushed for energy development and the infrastructure to support it as a key aspect of national security. The orders, signed amid the U.S. war with Iran, seek to address issues with the aging...

Trump Allies Eye Unconventional Response To Virginia Redistricting Fight

By Chad R. Mizelle | Commentary, Fox News Returning Arlington to the District of Columbia would fight fire with fire. If you’re proud of something, you want people to see it. That is why it’s telling that Virginia Democrats are asking Old Dominion residents to vote for a redistricting scheme without allowing their proposed map to be printed on the ballots. But it’s no wonder: the mid-decade redistricting proposal is an obscene gerrymander that will wipe out all but one GOP-leaning congressional district in the state. And, of course, they claim it’s all done in the name of "democracy." This dishonest power play seeks to make the congressional representation of a purple state nearly as blue as Massachusetts. It disenfranchises nearly half the commonwea...

Iran Threatens Escalation Ahead of Ceasefire Expiration

By Robert McGreevy | Fox News Iran ceasefire expires Tuesday as Vance heads to Pakistan for a second round of negotiations. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf threatened to "reveal new cards on the battlefield" in a Monday evening social media post just days before the agreed ceasefire between the United States and Iran is set to expire. "Trump, by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire, seeks to turn this negotiating table — in his own imagination — into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering," Ghalibaf wrote on X. "We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield," he concluded. Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegat...
