Senate Democrats Reject Voter ID Amendment Despite Prior Support

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist Forty-seven Democrats voted against a photo ID amendment on Thursday despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer previously claiming that he was supportive of photo ID. Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) introduced an amendment to the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act that would simply require photo ID to vote. Acceptable forms of ID include an unexpired driver’s license with a photo, a valid passport, a military ID, an unexpired state-ID card, among others. The measure needed 60 votes to pass but only received 53 “AYE’s.” Schumer claimed the amendment would “impose the single strictest voter ID law in America.” “This radical amendment would toss out every single voter ID requirement in all 50 states for fed...

Poll Shows 83% of Voters Support Election Day Ballot Deadlines

By: Maisey Jefferson | The Federalist While the Supreme Court on Monday expressed skepticism about states accepting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, an overwhelming majority of voters have already decided against the practice, according to a recent poll conducted just days before the high court heard oral arguments in Watson v. RNC. As The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood reported, Watson “deals with a challenge to a Mississippi law authorizing absentee ballots to be accepted up to five days after Election Day so long as they are postmarked before or on the day of the contest.” A survey of 1,600 likely voters conducted on behalf of the Honest Elections Project earlier this month found that 93 percent of Republicans, 83...

GOP Lawmakers Question Cost and Strategy Behind $200 Billion Pentagon Request

By Jack Hunter | Responsible Statecraft Some who would otherwise support the war say they have no idea what the huge supplemental budget request is supposed to pay for The Pentagon is asking Congress for another $200 billion for the war on Iran, which is almost a quarter of the annual U.S. defense budget. Democrats are largely, and predictably, against it. But what about Republicans? While many say they support the president’s war (and they certainly do not want to allow a vote on it), Republicans in varying degrees embraced the mantle of fiscal conservatism. This supplemental request would be in addition to the more than a trillion approved late last year, including a $150 billion add-on, money that the Pentagon is ...

Conservative Victories Require Primary Challenges Within the GOP to Root Out the RINOs

By: Shawn Fleetwood | Commentary, The Federalist Until conservatives root out the rot within their own party, the D.C. status quo will continue to remain the same. Another week in American politics wouldn’t be complete without an elected Republican betraying constituents. That’s what happened on Tuesday when Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, announced her opposition to the latest iteration of the SAVE Act. The bill (now the “SAVE America Act”) seeks to mandate widely supported photo ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements in federal elections. In her “principled stand” against what she called efforts to “have federalized elections,” Murkowski referenced previous attempts by Democrats “to advance sweeping election reform legislation in 2021” — whi...

Multiple FBI Counterintelligence Probes Targeted Trump Allies Over Nearly A Decade

By: Staff | Commentary, Revolver News We all watched as the Biden regime used federal law enforcement as a political weapon against American citizens. But nobody was targeted and harassed more than President Trump, both while he was a private citizen and the President of the United States. The bizarre and creepy investigations into his campaign and his allies went way, way beyond any normal oversight and crossed into North Korean territory. And now a new report is breaking the internet by revealing more juicy details on just how far the Deep State went to stop President Trump. According to this report, which was reviewed by investigators and members of Congress, the FBI ran several counterintelligence operations over nearly a decade targeting Trump and people on his te...

Education Department Moves To Reveal Foreign Donors Funding US Universities

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell | The Daily Signal FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Department of Education will soon require universities to publicly disclose the counterparties of foreign funding, a senior Education Department official told The Daily Signal. Section 117 of the Higher Education Act requires higher education institutions to report gifts and contracts valued at $250,000 or more to the Department of Education, to make them available for public inspection. Universities currently report counterparties, their gifters or contractors, to the agency. However, the identities of foreign counterparties are not made public, which the senior department official said violates the law. The totals received from counterparties of concern are listed in the Section...

Democrat Backed Redistricting Plan Could Flip Three Colorado GOP House Seats

By Michael Braithwaite | Colorado Politics A Democrat-backed proposal to redraw Colorado’s congressional map for the 2028 election could flip three Republican districts. The proposal, introduced by a group called Coloradans for a Level Playing Field, is yet another development in a national redistricting debate after President Donald Trump called to redraw U.S. House districts. An analysis of the proposal in Colorado shows that the redrawn map could lead to flipping three Republican house seats to the Democrats’ column in the 2028 election, including in District 5, which has never voted for a Democratic representative in its long history, according to composite election data. Colorado’s 2021 congressional district map (left) compared to Coloradans for a Leve...

Polling Shows Strong Republican Approval for Trump Early in Second Term

By: Dmitri Bolt | Townhall President Trump has continued to notch major milestones at the outset of his second term, sharply reducing illegal immigration, launching a sweeping deportation campaign, and bringing in the highest tariff revenues in nearly a century. He is also setting a political benchmark: stronger approval within his own party at this stage than President Obama achieved at the same point in his presidency. And this is according to CNN. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2029570941513072694?s=20 READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL
