Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is frantically backpedaling after his ill-conceived El Salvador publicity stunt blew up in his face. The Maryland Democrat, who initially trumpeted his mission to "rescue" a deported MS-13 gang member, is now desperately trying to rewrite the script of his adventure gone wrong. When Van Hollen first landed in the country, he couldn't wait to broadcast his virtuous mission to the world. "I just landed in San Salvador," he proclaimed proudly, promising to secure the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom he claimed was "illegally abducted."

Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics. Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.” He added, “Here’s James Carville.”

On a chilly February night in 2025, Jay Sani, an Indian-American student at Washington State University, stepped out of a bar wearing his red MAGA hat. The 28-year-old engineering student didn’t expect the night to take a violent turn, but it did. According to reports, as Jay walked, two figures approached him. Patrick Mahoney, a university instructor and vocal proponent of Palestinian causes, and Gerald Hoff, a graduate student and teaching assistant. It is unclear what sparked the confrontation, but words were exchanged and, as seen on security footage, Mahoney lunged at Jay, ripping the hat from his head.

Rosie O’Donnell made good on her promise to leave the country if Donald Trump returned to the White House. And apparently, she had a good reason for her personal health. Rosie O’Donnell has admitted she was “drinking too much” during Donald Trump’s first term in the White House - and during his recent presidential campaign, she vowed she would leave the country if he was elected again. The American talk show host revealed last month that she and her 12-year-old child Clay moved to Dublin, Ireland, to escape the Trump presidency. Since her grandparents were Irish, she is eligible to get citizenship, but said her application has yet to be approved.

The Brooklyn woman accused of leaving a brick scrawled with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a parked Tesla is a super-woke family therapist who was involved in criminal justice diversion programs — and blamed Elon Musk for her heinous actions as she was taken into custody. Natasha Cohen was released on her own recognizance following her arraignment on hate-crime charges Saturday night, according to prosecutors. Cohen, 46, has a private practice, working with children, adolescents and their families for more than two decades.

Actor Vince Vaughn became the latest celebrity to visit President Trump in the Oval Office, creating a moment of levity Friday for the White House social media team. The official White House account on social platform X posted a mock movie poster featuring a photo of Vaughn and Trump at the Resolute Desk with the title “White House Crashers,” in a nod to Vaughn’s starring role in the 2005 comedy “Wedding Crashers.”

Women on Capitol Hill have found a new way to make an often mundane, colorless place fun and lively: clothing rental services. Subscription services such as Nuuly and Rent the Runway have become staples for staffers who work hard and want to dress well while doing it. Women’s fashion, often scrutinized while many men opt for a simple suit and tie, has long been a way to stand out in a city built on clout. The advent of mail-delivery clothing has made doing so easier and more affordable for aides living on a budget. The services allow customers to pay a set amount to receive a box of clothing that is swapped

The Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Tren de Aragua Venezuelan street gang early Saturday. A terse order issued on a 7-2 vote with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting, the Court ordered the administration "not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of the Court."This caps off a furious day of legally maneuvering and borderline legal malpractice as the ACLU was laughed out of court in the Northern District of Texas, appealed to the Fifth Circuit and lost there, and then schlepped to the court of Resistance hero

As a new father, I’ve learned to tread carefully through the colorful world of children’s programming, where “innocent” content can hide sinister agendas. “Ms. Rachel,” or Rachel Griffin Accurso, a beloved figure for toddlers, is one such Trojan Horse. She has crossed a dangerous and unnecessary line by platforming the Israel-Gaza conflict. Simply put: Why are infants being fed war narratives? And now Accurso, whose YouTube personality is known for her sing-songy lessons, could be getting a few new listeners… from the Department of Justice. According to the New York Post, StopAntisemitism has called for a DOJ probe, alleging Ms. Rachel’s social media posts spread “propaganda” by focusing solely on Gaza’s suffering

I imagine you have not spent any time with the hereditary elites of Europe, and you are lucky in that. They breed sociopaths there, and brutalize their children until they think of us, you and me, as talking cows or pigs. We exist for their harvest, we are their unwitting serfs and since the beginning of the American experiment, they have wanted the States back under their control, its wealth cascading into their maw. It is they who invented the climate and extinction scam out of the Club of Rome, which ramped up the intellectual nonsense of Malthus in order to choke your life and mine.

Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government and may have misled Congress about the date of his departure, documents reveal. Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.

Republican leaders in the House have denied requests by Democrats to approve congressional trips to check on deportees at a mega prison in El Salvador. With a post to X on Friday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed a letter in which he told a pair of Democrats that he was rejecting their demand for authorization of a Congressional Member Delegation (CODEL) to visit the Terrorism Confinement Center or CECOT. "If Democrats wish to travel to El Salvador and meet with a foreign illegal MS-13 gang member, they can spend their own money to do so,” Comer said

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been having a grand old time bashing Elon Musk and Tesla while speaking to crowds of angry leftists in recent weeks. The Daily Mail reports: A member of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration has been repeatedly caught on camera allegedly vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles with his keys while out walking his dog. One person who works under his administration apparently took the governor’s message to heart. A government analyst in the state was just caught keying a Tesla while he was out walking his dog. He has reportedly been arrested.

In a Friday night hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he was “sympathetic” to activists’ concerns over the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act, but he doesn't “think I have the power” to stop them. It was surely frustrating to the activist judge who always seemed to rule harshly against J6ers but has come across as extremely sympathetic to the non-citizen criminals that Trump was trying to send out of our country. A recent Supreme Court ruling tied his hands, however:

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deporting illegal migrants to their non-origin country without due process. In his decision on Friday, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy argued that the Trump administration could not deport an illegal migrant to a country not explicitly mentioned in their “order of removal without first allowing them to raise concerns about their safety,” per ABC News. “Defendants argue that the United States may send a deportable alien to a country not of their origin, not where an immigration judge has ordered, where they may be immediately tortured and killed, without providing that person any opportunity to tell

President Donald Trump shared a photo of the tattoos on the knuckles of illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an accused MS-13 gang member, wife beater, and human trafficker amid Democrats’ complaining about the man’s deportation to his native El Salvador. “I was elected to take bad people out of the United States,” Trump said. “I must be allowed to do my job.” “This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,'” President Trump quipped in the caption

Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs’ daughter died earlier this week after a courageous battle with cancer, he announced on social media Friday. The 37-year-old was a mother of three. “Earlier this week, our daughter Cosette lost her battle with cancer. We are devastated by her passing, but take comfort knowing she is at peace with the Lord,” the 66-year-old Republican wrote on X. “We are grateful our family could gather to spend her final days by her side,” he added.

Federal workers are whining about the “DOGE 15” — the added weight they’ve packed on since being dragged back to the office and worrying about their own productivity and looming layoffs. Being back in person like the rest of the American workforce has meant kissing the gym goodbye, and leisurely walks at lunch have also gone out the window, the taxpayer-funded snowflakes complain. “Ugh with RTO I don’t have time to walk at lunch, and my gym time in the mornings are almost nonexistent,” one Department of the Interior worker griped on Reddit.

The Supreme Court on Saturday blocked, for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th-century wartime law. In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center “until further order of this court.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented. The high court acted in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union contending that immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

If you think politicians make outlandish claims, consider what Christians celebrate at Easter. They believe a man named Jesus was brutally tortured, murdered, and buried for three days before rising from the dead. Furthermore, they assert this man was also fully God and that your belief or lack of belief in him determines your eternal destiny. Christians have no video evidence or DNA tests to prove this. That’s understandable since Christians say the event Easter celebrates took place almost 2,000 years ago. Americans can’t even agree on things that happened two weeks ago. Isn’t Easter an ancient example of “fake news,” a myth propagated by people putting faith over historical realities?

The Democrats constantly talk about how they want ‘big money’ to get out of politics. Yet the DNC is holding a fundraiser next month with tickets starting at a mere $25,000. For this massive amount, attendees will get to hear the 2024 losing candidate Kamala Harris cackle her way through the evening. Who wouldn’t want to spend this kind of cash for such a great night? The Democrats have basically become the party of the super rich and the super poor. FOX News reports: Ex-VP Harris returns to politics to headline DNC fundraiser with tickets starting at $25,000

Sometimes you just can't help but laugh. For some time now, the Democratic Party's been dealing with approval ratings lower than a snake on a submarine and sinking faster than a lead brick in clear water. Their embrace of every possible policy position that at least 80 percent of the country opposes has cost them, and let's hope they never figure it out.A new Gallup poll is in, and for Republicans as well as any Americans who aren't barking nuts (Democrats), it's giggle-inducing. Confidence in the Democratic Party's congressional leadership has sunk to an all-time low, according to a new national poll.
