First Democrat Joins House DOGE Caucus
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/3/2024 10:58:03 PM
Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida became the first Democrat to join the House’s GOP-led DOGE Caucus. "Today, I will join the Congressional DOGE Caucus, because I believe that streamlining government processes and reducing ineffective government spending should not be a partisan issue," Moskowitz said in a statement. The Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency Caucus will support a new advisory commission with the same acronym led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The Department of Government Efficiency will seek to cut regulations and reduce wasteful government spending. "I've been clear there are ways we can reorganize our government to make it work better for the American people.

Ukraine Funding, and Instead Vows to Follow
Trump's Lead 0 replies
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is standing firm against the demands of lame-duck President Joe Biden. He rejected the outgoing administration's plea for additional funding for Ukraine. Johnson made it clear that he would not be taking orders from Biden but would instead wait for direction from the new commander-in-chief, President-elect Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Johnson announced that he would not bring to the floor a request for $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. This followed reports that Biden was urgently pushing Congress to approve more assistance to Kyiv before his term ends. Johnson's move underscores his commitment to reevaluating foreign aid priorities under new leadership,

House Race After Reports Claim Pelosi
Staged a 'Coup' 2 replies
In a surprising turn of events, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is withdrawing his bid to retain his position as the top Democrat on the influential House Judiciary Committee for the next two years. Instead, he has thrown his support behind his rival, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
Just two days ago, Nadler stood firm in his decision to challenge Raskin for the high-ranking job. The New York Democrat’s shift regarding the influential committee's role will be crucial in overseeing the second Trump administration.
In a letter to his colleagues, Nadler stated that while he would "still be an active member" of the House Judiciary Committee and "work alongside its new leadership,”

to Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary Nomination 3 replies
It didn’t look good for Pete Hegseth, facing a multi-pronged attack on his character, a la Brett Kavanaugh, regarding his defense secretary nomination. Hegseth is qualified for the job. He’s also not just a Fox News host—he’s a decorated combat veteran who has worked with such groups for years. Yet, tales of sexual misconduct and hard drinking are now filling the airwaves, most of which is unsubstantiated drivel.
(Snip) With Matt Gaetz, Trump’s failed attorney general pick, four absolute ‘no’ votes killed his nomination—it was the usual suspects. For Hegseth, there are reports that ZERO Republican senators are opposed to his helming of the Defense Department

Effort to Support ‘Fighter’ Pam Bondi’s Confirmation 3 replies
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is leading the charge along with other states to confirm President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of Pam Bondi as the next U.S. Attorney General.
In a press release Tuesday, Moody’s office said she is leading the multistate effort to urge the U.S. Senate to confirm Bondi, who was Florida’s attorney general for eight years: [Tweet]
Moody, 27 attorneys general, and two attorneys general-elect are showcasing Bondi’s track record in the Sunshine State.
Moody said:
Pam Bondi is a proven leader and fighter for justice. After her work over nearly two decades of prosecuting murderers and standing up for crime victims, she became Florida’s first female Attorney General
A federal judge has paused an attempt by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to imprison Christian pro-life activists for up to ten years.
Judge Matthew Leitman, an Obama appointee, paused the DOJ’s FACE Act and felony conspiracy case against seven pro-life activists who are awaiting sentencing over a peaceful protest at a Michigan abortion clinic, citing the results of the 2024 election and the potential for the next presidential administration to handle such cases differently.
“As further discussed on the record, the Court will conduct another status conference during the week of March 24, 2025,

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) expressed full support for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth after meeting with him Monday amid an onslaught of hit pieces from the establishment media.
“Are soldiers sometimes wild childs? Yeah, that can happen, but it is very clear that this guy is the guy who, at a time when Americans were losing confidence in their own military, in our ability to project strength around the world, Pete Hegseth is the answer to that concern,” she told reporters on Tuesday, according to Politico.
Her support comes at a critical time, as Hegseth comes under attack from anonymous sources
A judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to release all communications with Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.
Earlier this year conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, for a default judgement against Fani Willis refusing to answer its open records request.
“Defendant has not filed an answer and no answer has been served upon [Judicial Watch].… Defendant’s answer was due 30 days after service, or on April 10, 2024. Pursuant to [Georgia law] the case automatically became in default when an answer was not filed by the due date.
Rachel Maddow lookalike and outspoken billionaire Trump Hater, Mark Cuban, and far-left NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley have seemingly thrown their hats in the ring for the Democratic ticket for the White House in 2028.
Cuban is so far-left and disliked by Trump supporters that he’s been hit with an endless supply of memes comparing his looks and personality to far-left MSNBC crank Rachel Maddow.
Enjoy this one: [Tweet]
In an appearance last week on “The Steam Room” podcast with Ernie Johnson and Barkley, Cuban gave his reaction to the 2024 election results, comparing it to the “horrible feeling” of losing a basketball game,
The Department of Justice announced the arrest of Chinese national Shenghua Wen Tuesday on a series of weapons trafficking and illegal possession charges. Wen is in the U.S. illegally after overstaying a student visa.
"According to an affidavit filed on Nov. 26 with the complaint, Wen obtained firearms, ammunition, and export-controlled technology with the intention of shipping them to North Korea — a violation of federal law and United States sanctions against that nation. Wen and his co-conspirators allegedly exported shipments of firearms and ammunition to North Korea by concealing the items inside shipping containers that were shipped from Long Beach through Hong Kong to North Korea,"

Canada’s vapid and callow Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an emergency trip to Mar-a-Lago Friday to see the president-elect. Trudeau was thoroughly alarmed over Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canada (as well as Mexico) if they don't do anything to stop the flow of illegal migrants and drugs into the United States. Trudeau was clearly hoping to talk some socialist internationalist sense into Bad Orange Man, but instead, the vacant-faced Canadian authoritarian got a response that was pure Trump, and revealed once again how deeply Trump holds his America-First principles.
A federal court has just pooped in the oatmeal of the West Coast, Messed Coast™governors and local election officials suffering from acute cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome who think they can stop illegal alien deportations. And after this hilarious and thorough legal takedown from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, they may never recover.
With California Governor Gavin Newsom calling a special legislative session to consider ways to fight Donald Trump and Washington's Governor-elect Bob Ferguson calling for a special legislative committee to fight the Heritage Foundation's white paper, Project 2025, you can see that Trump Derangement Syndrome among the far left—go ahead, say it, commies—

with Ron DeSantis as Defense secretary
pick: report 44 replies
President-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing Pete Hegseth, his controversial pick to lead the Pentagon, with one-time 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday.
The move comes as Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army veteran and former Fox News personality, faces increasing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement. The defense secretary post requires Senate confirmation and Hegseth faces an increasingly uphill battle to win over GOP members with concerns about his past.
It's not a procedure you'd expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she's willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights. Newsweek spoke to five women who have either undergone sterilization procedures or plan to in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's victory on November 5. They all expressed fear their reproductive choices will be taken from them under Trump's administration. "If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight," Echols said.
Whoopi Goldberg and her lefty cohorts on “The View” went to the mat Monday in defense of President Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son Hunter, writing it off as just “what presidents do” and dismissing criticism of the controversial move as “foolish” and “pearl-clutching.”
Goldberg launched straight into her defense of Biden during the ABC TV show’s “Hot Topics” segment by rattling off a list of people President-elect Donald Trump pardoned during his first term, including Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.
“That’s what presidents do every time. They do it every time, they pardon somebody, so I’m not sure why the pearl-clutching is happening now,
Democrat Adam Gray has won California's 13th Congressional District race, defeating incumbent Republican Rep. John Duarte, according to The Associated Press.
California's 13th Congressional District was the last seat to be called, with the district being one of the most competitive races in the Golden State. Republicans maintained the majority with 220, with Democrats trailing at 216.
Gray, a former state legislator who represented California's 21st Assembly District from 2012 to 2022, is considered a centrist Democrat who focused on key concerns for farmers in the Central Valley like water shortages.
In dealing with his enemies in the Deep State, President Trump could follow one of two paths. One would be the path of peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness. This would certainly be easier in the short term and also garner approval from insiders and the media. Alternatively, he could seek to clean house and punish the worst and most insubordinate offenders from his first term. Which path Trump should take all depends on whether one believes the last eight years were normal partisan squabbles or if one believes that something monumental happened
As the Biden regime prepares to exit, it has orchestrated a move as a cunning attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to streamline government operations.
In a last-minute deal, the Biden regime has locked in telework protections for 42,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees until 2029.
The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.
The Biden administration might be in its final days but that doesn’t mean the flow of lethal U.S. weaponry to Ukraine shows any sign of slowing. Far from it.
That was confirmed Monday when an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), was announced by the White House.
AP reports it is unclear whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the coveted ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — but Ukraine has been pressing for more of the longer-range missiles to strike additional targets inside Russia.
Daniel Penny was greeted with shouts of “Guilty!” as he arrived in court Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in his lightning-rod Manhattan manslaughter trial in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
Penny, 26, strolled into Manhattan Supreme Court around 10:15 a.m. flanked by his attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser — as a 12-person jury will hear final remarks from prosecutors and the defense before the panel begins deliberations.
A group of a dozen protesters chanted, “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” as the Marine veteran exited a black SUV outside the 100 Centre St. courthouse.
“What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” the demonstrators shouted.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) convened the state legislature for a special session on Monday designed to “Trump-proof” the state, including by passing $25 million for use in lawsuits against the incoming administration.
As Breitbart News noted after the election in November, Newsom announced the special session — not to deal with pressing problems facing the state, but rather for the political purpose of leading the so-called “resistance” (i.e. opposition) to President-elect Donald Trump. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying Newsom was “using the term ‘Trump-Proof’ as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again’.”
The Biden-Harris administration has granted millions of dollars in funding for a virtual treatment that aims to help cure eating disorders by “affirming” LGBTQIA+ patients’ sexual orientation and gender claims. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Auburn University Assistant Professor of Psychological Sciences Tiffany Brown and San Diego State University Professor of Psychology Aaron Blashill up to $5 million in grants to “develop and provide” the Promoting Resilience to Improve Disordered Eating (PRIDE) treatment — a virtual “identity-affirming eating disorder treatment for LGBTQIA+ patients,” the Auburn University College of Liberal Arts website states.
CHANNAHON, Ill. -- Lion Electric, which manufactures electric buses, will suspend its operations at its Channahon facility, the company announced in a press release Tuesday. The company announced the suspension of operations at the plant as well as temporary layoffs of about 400 workers across the company, which is based in Canada. The layoffs leave Lion Electric with about 300 workers. The plant in Channahon opened in July of 2023 and was set to produce up to 20,000 vehicles a year. The plant was the first dedicated vehicle assembly plant in the Chicago area since 1965. In a statement, Joliet Mayor
The Washington Post’s national security reporter is unimpressed with Pete Hegseth’s 20-plus awards and commendations during his two combat tours, emails obtained Wednesday by Breitbart News reveal.
The Post’s Alex Horton, a national security reporter, pushed back Tuesday on Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s characterization of Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, as “highly decorated” for his military service.“Can you help me understand what highly decorated means in this release?” Horton asked Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s staff in response to an op-ed Tuberville wrote praising Hegseth.
