In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his discontent with how the situation is being handled by what he termed “corrupt politicians.” He indicated that if these officials continue to allow professional agitators and insurrectionists to attack Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, he would invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

The ongoing debate regarding fraud and immigration in Minnesota is gripping attention, with significant implications for both policy and taxpayer rights. Recently, a group of Republican senators spearheaded by Marsha Blackburn proposed the Fraud Accountability Act, seeking to strengthen laws around immigration and fraud. Blackburn’s statement reflected a straightforward approach: “Anyone who comes to the United States and steals from American taxpayers by committing fraud should be deported.” The bill aims to explicitly categorize fraud as a deportable offense under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Critics, particularly among Democrats, have already labeled the proposal as unconstitutional. The tension between Democrats…

This trend seems to be emerging in both red and blue states, though the acceptance of these measures varies widely. In particular, blue states are moving further left, highlighting a keen political divide.

Dr. Nisha Verma’s recent appearance before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions turned into a tense exchange that raised eyebrows and sparked outrage.

In a striking example of partisan defiance, the House of Representatives has opted to keep funding the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), rebuffing a call to halt taxpayer contributions to what many view as a controversial globalist organization. The vote, tallied at 127 in favor and a substantial 291 against, effectively dismissed an amendment from Rep. Eli Crane aimed at preventing $315 million from flowing to the NED as part of the federal spending package for fiscal year 2026. Crane, visibly frustrated by the outcome, took to social media to express his discontent, saying, “The swamp is real. But we…

The recent live address by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was less a rallying cry and more a comedy of errors. Attempting to stir Minnesotans against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he delivered a jumbled message that became a spectacle of technical failures.
