Trump Ends Biden Efficiency Mandates to Protect Auto Jobs and Vehicle Affordability

By Mary Margaret Olohan and Zach Jewell | The Daily Wire "This is a win for customers and common sense," said Ford CEO Jim Farley. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he is resetting federal fuel standards that were used by President Joe Biden’s administration to impose severe regulations on American car manufacturers. The president unveiled the changes in the Oval Office, promising that the reset of the Biden-era fuel economy standards will save American families a combined $109 billion. The president said he will realign the standards with real world market conditions. “Combined with the insane electric vehicle mandate, Biden’s burdensome regulations helped cause the price of cars to soar more than 425%, and in one case, they went up 18%...

Trump Administration Presses Democrat States to Share SNAP Data or Face Withholding of Aid

By Darlene Superville and Geoff Mulvihill | The Denver Gazette WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration said Tuesday that it will move to withhold SNAP food aid from recipients in most Democratic-controlled states starting next week unless those states provide information about those receiving the assistance. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that the action is in the works because those states are refusing to provide data the department requested such as the names and immigration status of aid recipients. She said the cooperation is necessary in order to root out fraud in the program. Democratic states have sued to block the requirement. Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia previously sued&...

USDA Pushes Reforms After Study Links Liquor and Tobacco Shops to SNAP Fraud Risks

By: Steven Richards | Just the News More than 5,000 liquor and smoke shops were approved as retailers under SNAP, raising fraud concerns. There's no way to determine how much alcohol, tobacco, or other "non-compliant" goods have been sold nationwide. At least 20 states refuse to share data with the feds. Food stamps were first issued in 1939 as an assistance program to prevent starvation during the Great Depression.  But 86 years later, thousands of liquor stores and smoke shops have become approved retailers, increasing the possibility of fraud, new research shows.  The longest ever government shutdown, which ended after 43 days of deadlock, thrust the federal food stamp program into the national spotlight as millions of recipients went without benefits. But...

The Trump engine fires on all cylinders while Congress idles

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker President Donald Trump has been back in office for almost a year -- roughly 315 days -- and has governed with the urgency of a turnaround CEO. He hit the ground running, signing executive orders immediately after inauguration and maintaining a pace unmatched in modern politics. But what becomes of all this action? Executive orders can be reversed the moment a new president arrives unless Congress codifies them into law. That’s the key difference between temporary executive action and lasting legislative reform. According to Ballotpedia, “As of November 25, 2025, President Donald Trump had signed 217 executive orders, 54 memoranda, and 110 proclamations in his second presidential term, which began on January 20, 2025.” Yet...

Colorado Joins the Fight to Keep SNAP Benefits for Illegal Aliens

By Marissa Ventrelli | The Denver Gazette Colorado joined 21 other states in a lawsuit seeking to undo the Trump administration’s campaign to stop taxpayer-funded food aid from going to individuals illegally staying in the U.S., arguing the move also implicated a group of noncitizens who should be eligible to get the benefits under the law. At issue is a guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that implements the provisions of the congressional budget passed in July. That budget narrowed the groups of noncitizens who could receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that some 90,000 on average will lose eligibility per month as a result of the new law. The individuals would have received about $210 per mo...

Blue States Sue Trump Over SNAP Rules Limiting Immigrant Eligibility

By: Rachel Shin | POLITICO Democratic attorneys general in states like California and New York argue that new guidance illegally blocks legal permanent residents from receiving food stamps. Democratic attorneys general from 21 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration Wednesday over guidance that they say unlawfully blocks certain groups of legal immigrants from accessing food aid. The GOP’s tax and spending package, which was signed into law in July, narrows some immigrants’ eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the nation’s largest anti-hunger initiative. Green-card holders, however, can apply for benefits after a five-year waiting period. In their lawsuit, state officials allege USDA issued guidance on Oct. 31 incorrectly de...

Colorado Judge Restricts ICE Detentions, Siding With ACLU Plaintiffs

By: Landon Mion | Fox News ACLU lawsuit accuses immigration agents of indiscriminately targeting Latinos without proper legal justification. A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Colorado may only arrest illegal immigrants without a warrant if the targets are likely to flee. U.S. District Senior Judge R. Brooke Jackson's order comes after a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado and other lawyers on behalf of four people, including asylum-seekers, who were arrested by ICE without warrants earlier this year as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration. The lawsuit accuses immigration agents of indiscriminately arresting Latinos to meet the Trump administration's i...

Soros-Funded Group Challenges DHS Effort to Hold Illegal Aliens Accountable

By John Binder | Breitbart News A group financially linked to George and Alex Soros’s Open Society Foundations is behind a class action lawsuit brought by illegal aliens who are suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for fining them after they have failed to self-deport from the United States. On Thursday, a pair of illegal alien women, joined by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, filed a lawsuit in an attempt to have a federal judge block DHS from sending them hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for their failure to self-deport. The Immigrant Legal Resource Center rakes in millions annually from Soros’s Open Society Foundations — including securing a $3.9 million grant in 2022. Likewise, in 2021, the group scored nearly a ...

Weiser’s Anti-Trump Agenda Comes at Taxpayer Expense

By: Rob Natelson | Complete Colorado Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser says he favors trashing Colorado’s legislative reapportionment system to get more Democrat members of Congress elected. His statement offers some useful instruction in how, when conservatives make political deals with the left, it usually comes back to bite them. The current reapportionment system resulted from such a deal. It was made only seven years ago and ratified overwhelmingly by the voters. Now Weiser wants to renege. The Colorado background In 2018, Coloradans voted for Amendments Y and Z. Amendment Y transferred the job of drawing congressional districts from the state legislature to an independent commission. Amendment Z did the same for state legislative districts. I ...

Oracle Health and Epic Accused of Helping Hospitals Hide Gender Procedures from Parents

By: Greg Piper | Just the News Oracle and Epic control nearly two-thirds of electronic health records market, and "may be enabling – or even reinforcing – restrictions on parental rights through the way these systems are marketed and customized for clients," Do No Harm warns. As parents fight school districts in the courts to disclose when their children express gender identity at odds with sex, allied with a transgender child psychologist who has repeatedly urged judges to clue in parents, they face a lesser known roadblock to transparency about their children's health: electronic health record systems that lock them out. A report by medical advocacy group Do No Harm said "it appears that healthcare systems are using sexually transmitted infections, mental h...
