Republican agenda gets rejected at Colorado capitol

By John Frank | Axios Denver GOP state senators started this legislative session with four bills they say would save Colorado families $4,500 a year by cutting regulations and fees. Why it matters: The legislation was doomed to fail in a Democratic-controlled Legislature. But it could force Democrats to take positions in favor of taxes and fees, which could haunt them on the campaign trail. State of play: Three of the GOP bills are dead and the other is not expected to advance. READ THE FULL STORY AT AXIOS DENVER

Joondeph: Democrats stand for Ukraine but sit for America

By Brian C. Joondeph | American Thinker Republicans hold only slim majorities in Congress, particularly in the House. Midterm elections typically shift control to the party not in the White House. Democrats need only a few more House seats to hinder President Trump’s final two years in office and will seek to impeach him daily until he leaves in January 2029.Trump’s first month in office has been like a wrecking ball, disastrous for the entrenched ruling class and administrative state. The unavoidable chaos resulting from dismantling a massive bureaucracy, exacerbated by corporate media gaslighting, could tilt enough midterm votes to flip at least one house of Congress to the Democrats.That’s the likely scenario, assuming Democrats present a compelling and attractive alternative agen...

Republicans, led by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, move to repeal the act Biden used to jail peaceful pro-lifers

By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, with the support of 25 Republican cosponsors, reintroduced legislation on Tuesday that seeks to prevent the political prosecution of peaceful pro-lifers by repealing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Congress first passed the FACE Act in 1994. It was at the direction of President Joe Biden after the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision nearly two decades later, however, that the FBI and Department of Justice started to arrest and hand down uncharacteristically harsh sentences to dozens of people, many Christians, who peacefully protested ending life in the womb. “Americans just spent the last four years being targeted by a weaponized justice system. The FACE Act was one of the primary ...

Bray: Republicans would be stupid not to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense

By Chris Bray, Commentary | The Federalist Already, a month after a significant political victory and a major inflection point, Republican officeholders are becoming our biggest obstacle to success. Again. Pete Hegseth is being Kavanaughed. And the only people dumb enough to fall for it are Republican senators. I was willing to hear arguments that Hegseth wasn’t the best choice for secretary of defense. In his 40s, he’s on his third marriage, and while the rape allegation from his visit to a conservative conference in Monterey is clearly false, I was wide open to the argument that his actions demonstrated poor judgment. I was prepared to hear an argument. Like many combat veterans, Hegseth had some post-war chaos in his life. Discussion was merited. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE F...

Democrat wouldn’t support eliminating the filibuster now that GOP has Senate

By Ashe Schow | Daily Wire A House Democrat says she would have supported eliminating the filibuster if Democrats had control of the White House, Senate, and House, but she doesn’t support it now that Republicans have won all three levers of power. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chair of the Progressive Caucus, was speaking at a press conference on Monday about the 2024 election results when she was asked about her previous support for ending the filibuster. “Am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the Senate has the trifecta? No,” she said, referring to Republicans taking back control of the White House and Senate and likely maintaining control of the House. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

Republicans win House, delivering Trump a trifecta

By Emily Brooks | The Hill Republicans are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, handing the party total control of Washington with President-elect Trump back in the White House in January. Decision Desk HQ projected the GOP would hold the House by winning its 218th seat on Monday, the number needed for a majority in the lower chamber. The result is a major win for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who skyrocketed up from obscurity to lead the House GOP not only legislatively, but also in a large role in its campaign infrastructure.

Democrats fear race may be slipping away from Harris

By Amie Parnes  | The Hill There is growing fear in Democratic circles that the presidential race could be slipping further away from Vice President Harris. To be sure, Democrats still think Harris can defeat former President Trump. The margins are so close in the seven battleground states likely to decide the contest, a shift toward either candidate or a mistake in the polling could be decisive.  At the same time, Democrats are privately expressing worry that battleground polling appears to be moving in Trump’s direction over the last two weeks.
