Democratic Establishment Sounds Alarm Over Socialist Strategy Inside Party

By Steven Richards | Just the News What would Mike Dukakis say? Taking advantage of hating Trump, the Democratic Socialists of America have admitted implementing a long-term strategy to exploit the Democratic Party’s ballot access, alarming establishment figures and prompting pushback from more moderate members of the party. The Democratic Socialists of America have adopted a strategy to exploit the Democratic Party’s ballot access to boost their own candidates at the expense of incumbents, a plan which achieved remarkable success in New York City this week.  The victory of two DSA-backed candidates and one former member delivered a shock to the Democratic Party establishment, which has begun to call for better policing of the party’s primaries against candidates who...

Trump Calls on Republicans to Stand Together in SAVE America Act Battle

By Cameron Arcand | Townhall President Donald Trump wants to get the House back in motion, as some Republicans wanted to pause action in the lower chamber in protest of the SAVE America Act not getting passed in the Senate. While the act is considered an extremely high legislative priority of the president, he expressed the need for a cohesive Republican Party following a meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday afternoon. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and other lawmakers had intended not to vote on any rules to keep the House from voting on any legislation.  “House Republicans should unify, and stop voting down ‘Rules’ or, threatening to do so,” he posted to Truth Social.  “Giving power to the Radical Left Dumocrats in the House to contro...

Trump Delays Housing Bill Signing Demanding Action On SAVE America Act

By: Cameron Arcand | Townhall President Donald Trump headed to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to stress his request for the SAVE America Act to pass. Trump was scheduled to arrive on the Hill earlier in the day to sign a bipartisan housing policy bill, but he canceled the signing until after the federal elections proposal makes it to his desk.  “Every election is important… They want a lot of communists to come in,” Trump said before the meeting. https://twitter.com/cspan/status/2069832157527208318 The elections bill has passed the House but continues to have a few Republican holdouts and Democratic backlash in the Senate, which is making it difficult to get the bill through.  READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL

Trump Maintains GOP Kingmaker Status as Mamdani Expands Influence in New York

By Ben Whedon | Just the News Mamdani’s wins seem to have established him as an increasingly potent force in shaping the direction of the Democratic Party moving forward while Trump’s merely reasserted his kingmaker status within the GOP. President Donald Trump’s last minute double endorsement of both candidates in the South Carolina Republican runoff helped him to avoid what would have been a crushing defeat on Tuesday evening. At the same time, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s preferred candidates managed to dominate their Democratic primaries and even oust prominent members of the conference. Mamdani’s wins seem to have established him as an increasingly potent force in shaping the direction of the Democratic Party moving forward while Trump’s merely reasserte...

Foreign-Born Judge Sparkle Sooknanan Halts Federal Citizenship Checks For Voter Rolls

By: Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist A foreign-born federal judge in D.C. ruled Monday that Americans are not allowed to check the citizenship of prospective voters because doing so might “purge voter rolls.” D.C. District Court Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who is from Trinidad and Tobago, blocked the Trump administration from using an updated database called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system in order to ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections. Sooknanan became a U.S. citizen in 2009, but seemingly still retains citizenship in Trinidad and Tobago, which she said she would only renounce “if required by law.” As Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., pointed out, “If judges can stop Presidents, they should not...

Federal Judge Clears Path for Release of Biden Interview Tapes

By: Luke Miller | The Federalist The DOJ ‘explicitly relied on the Zwonitzer materials in deciding not to prosecute Biden because of his mental state.’ A United States District Court judge released an opinion on Friday denying former President Joe Biden’s request for a preliminary injunction to block the release of tapes and transcripts from a set of 2016-2017 interviews that reportedly show Biden’s illegal handling of classified materials. In May 2026, Biden sued the U.S. Department of Justice to block the release of more than 70 hours of audio recordings of conversations between himself and his biographer, Mark Zwonitzer. After making redactions for privacy purposes, the DOJ was set to release the tapes to The Heritage Foundation as a result of a 2024 Fre...

GOP Senators Push DOJ Review of Fauci Pardon and Potential Prosecution

By Katherine Pugh and Amanda Head | Just the News Paul noted that Fauci's spin operation was not only necessary for political purposes, but for survival, because in Fauci's capacity as a health official, he funded research to humanize the virus and re-adapted it to make it more contagious to humans. wo top U.S. senators are urging the Trump Justice Department to challenge the legality of President Joe Biden's pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci and to pursue criminal charges against the nation's former top doc during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think we should challenge the pardon, because it's an extraordinary pardon. It's a pardon not for a specific crime, and it's a pardon over a 10 year period. It's the same that he got the same thing Hunter Biden got," Sen. Rand Paul told...

The U.S. Senate passed an approximately $70 billion funding bill for federal immigration enforcement, without any reforms, early Friday morning, 52-47. Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper voted against the measure, while Sen. Michael Bennet missed the final passage vote and the preceding 18-hour marathon of back-to-back amendment votes known as a “vote-a-rama.” Instead, Bennet was back in Denver, where he hit the gubernatorial debate stage Thursday night for what he hopes will be his next job. A Bennet spokesperson noted that Bennet had returned to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday and filed amendments to the reconciliation bill. “When it ...

DOJ Says Anti-Weaponization Fund Will Not Move Forward

By Fred Lucas | The Daily Signal Amid skepticism from lawmakers—including some Republicans—acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told a House panel Tuesday that the Justice Department has scrapped its planned Anti-Weaponization Fund. The $1.776 billion fund stemmed from a settlement between President Donald Trump and the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax information. Blanche testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, days after a federal judge temporarily blocked the fund. Instead, Blanche said it will never move forward. Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee, asked: “We know that the department has agreed to pause this effort until at least June 12. I wan...
