Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hᴏft Original Article Posted by rememberwhen — 3/13/2025 11:00:47 PM The hammer is about to drop on Act Blue, the Democrats’ golden goose of fundraising, as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) teams up with the FBI to expose what could be the biggest money-laundering scandal in American political history.
In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, Comer laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash—potentially from foreign adversaries—into Democrat coffers under the guise of “grassroots” donations.
CBS News, by Melissa Quinn * Original Article Posted by Dreadnought — 3/13/2025 2:18:22 PM Washington — A federal judge in California ordered six federal agencies to reinstate probationary employees who were fired last month, finding that their terminations by the Office of Personnel Management were unlawful.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco handed down his order in a challenge brought by a group of unions against the Trump administration from the bench. He said that neither OPM nor its Acting Director Charles Ezell had the authority to direct the terminations across agencies.
The order extends relief to fired workers at the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury.
"It is a sad, sad day when our government would fire some good employee
Washington Free Beacon, by Matthew Xiao Original Article Posted by ConservativeYankee — 3/14/2025 1:09:14 PM Several House Democrats have privately called on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) to launch a primary challenge against Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer after he backed a Republican-led funding bill to avert a government shutdown.
Even centrist Democrats are outraged by Schumer’s decision, with some "so mad" that they are "ready to write checks for AOC for Senate," according to a Democratic lawmaker who spoke with Ocasio-Cortez at House Democrats’ annual policy retreat Thursday evening, CNN reported.
Red State, by Rusty Weiss Original Article Posted by Dreadnought — 3/14/2025 10:07:31 AM Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) insists President Trump is trying to start a civil war in this country and indicated it would take incredible restraint from the left not to fight back.
Waters, speaking at a Democrat retreat in Northern Virginia, made repeated assertions that Trump is gearing up for war.
She kicked off the unhinged commentary by telling reporters the administration's efforts to reign in fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government would leave seniors suffering and "homeless people ... on the street."
“And so when that happens, what does Trump expect?"
Associated Press, by Joey Cappelletti Original Article Posted by NorthernDog — 3/13/2025 9:32:44 AM SAUGATUCK, Mich. — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is set to announce that he will not seek an open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, a move that leaves the door wide open for him to seek a much bigger role as his party’s next presidential nominee. Since his role in the Biden administration ended in late January, Buttigieg has spent months considering his next move, including a serious look at the unexpectedly open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, where he relocated in recent years. But many prominent allies he consulted believed he could not realistically pursue the Senate seat while
Daily Signal, by Fred Lucas Original Article Posted by ConservativeYankee — 3/13/2025 10:20:56 AM Democrat governors have a “resistance” playbook created for them that includes draft executive orders to defy the administration’s immigration policies as well as instructions on deploying the National Guard.
The Governors Action Alliance, a Democrat organization that founded the group Governors Safeguarding Democracy, provided such guidance to the staffs of Democrat governors across the country after the election of President Donald Trump.
The 126 pages of the playbook—including emails, talking points, and a “Firewalling for Freedom – Template Gubernatorial Executive Order”—were obtained in a public records request from the office of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro by the private nonprofit watchdog group Government Accountability and Oversight
BizPac Review, by Nicole Haas Original Article Posted by ladydawgfan — 3/13/2025 9:52:00 PM Entrenched Democrat Rep. John Larson launched into a red-in-the-face tirade over Elon Musk’s mission to root out waste and fraud within government ranks.
Accusing Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee of keeping the DOGE chief from testifying, Larson screamed and pointed at those on the floor while seemingly questioning Musk’s “genius.”
“Where’s the independence of the committee!” Larson screamed.
“Where’s Elon Musk? I’m sure he’s a genius and is a very credible person because of the wealth he’s accumulated, but that does not put him above the law or the responsibility to come before this committee in this Congress,” Larson yelled, completely glossing over the groundbreaking innovations
Breitbart, by Joel B. Pollak Original Article Posted by sunset — 3/13/2025 9:45:48 PM The State of California must borrow $3.44 billion dollars to cover a shortfall in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medcaid program — a year after expanding it to offer free health care to illegal aliens.
As Breitbart News reported at the time: “Beginning January 1, 2024, illegal aliens residing in California will become eligible for taxpayer-funded health insurance — the first state in the nation to enact such a policy.” Governor Gavin Newsom had boasted of the budget agreement that made such a dramatic offer possible: “With these new investments [sic], California will become the first state to achieve universal access to health care coverage,
PJ Media, by Matt Margolis Original Article Posted by Dreadnought — 3/13/2025 7:31:18 PM A mere day after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) proclaimed that Republicans don't have the votes to clear the way for a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September, the New York Democrat has caved and will vote for cloture to allow the recently passed CR a vote in the Senate.
"Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR," Schumer proclaimed Wednesday. "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path drafting their continuing resolution without any input from congressional Democrats."
Schumer’s grandstanding on Wednesday sure looked like a bluff — a desperate attempt to strong-arm the GOP
New York Post, by Steven Nelson Original Article Posted by mc squared — 3/14/2025 2:26:23 PM A key aide to former President Joe Biden may have exceeded their authority by liberally using an autopen to sign official documents, according to two former White House sources, as President Trump’s aides have set up “far more restrictive” rules governing the use of the mechanical device.
A document obtained by The Post outlines the narrow set of circumstances in which Trump’s signature can be affixed to documents, following controversy this week kicked off by a Heritage Foundation analysis of Biden signatures on various records, including last-minute pardons.
A small group of officials under both Biden and Trump have been delegated the power to get documents “signed” robotically,
National Review, by David Zimmerman Original Article Posted by Dreadnought — 3/13/2025 10:14:53 PM Columbia University announced Thursday it has expelled or suspended students who expressed anti-Israel sentiments while occupying a campus building last spring. The Ivy League school has also revoked the diplomas of some graduates.
Columbia’s judicial board issued “multi-year suspensions, temporary degree revocations, and expulsions” related to the forcible takeover of Hamilton Hall, the New York university said in a campus-wide email. The number of punished students was not provided.
The announcement comes as Columbia faces a fierce crackdown from the Trump administration over the elite school’s failure to protect Jewish students and punish those engaging in antisemitism on campus.
