Trump undercuts Lindsey Graham budget plan ahead of key Senate vote

By Rachel Schilke | Washington Examiner President Donald Trump sided with House Republicans in a brewing fight over whether to pass his agenda in one or two parts on Wednesday, undercutting Senate GOP leaders poised to take a key vote advancing their plan later this week. In a post to Truth Social, Trump praised both chambers for doing a “SPECTACULAR job of working together” but said House Republicans’ budget resolution, which tackles tax reform alongside priorities such as the border, is better than Sen. Lindsey Graham‘s (R-SC) because it “implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it!” The measure put forward by Graham, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, focuses on border security, defense, and energy but l...

Senate Judiciary Committee advances Kash Patel as FBI director, will face vote in closed Senate executive session

By The Post Millennial The Senate took a procedural step Tuesday toward confirming Kash Patel as FBI director, voting 48-45 along party lines to begin debate on his nomination.

During Patel’s confirmation hearings, he vowed to end the weaponization of the FBI as well as censorship coming from the agency and said, “If confirmed I will work with congress to expose any corrupt activities ...

Trump says price of peace may be fresh Ukrainian elections, Zelensky accuses president of ‘disinformation’

By Oliver JJ Lane | Breitbart If Ukraine wants a seat at the peace talks it should refresh the democratic mandate of its presidency by holding fresh elections, President Donald Trump suggested as he reacted to the first round of U.S.-Russia peace negotiations on Tuesday. UPDATE 1615: In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, President Trump accused Zelensky of being a “dictator” for failing to hold elections. Trump went on to suggest that the Ukrainian leader, who cancelled elections last year under martial law, is an opponent to the peace process, writing that Zelensky “probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going.” While promising to continue efforts to negotiate a peace settlement, Trump added: “I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and ...

By Emily Crane | New York Post White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has blasted Sen.

CBS News anchor claims free speech caused the Holocaust

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist CBS News’ Margaret Brennan claimed Sunday that free speech was to blame for the Holocaust. During an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Brennan spun a wild theory that free speech in Germany paved the way for the Holocaust, arguing that Vice President J.D. Vance’s criticisms of European attacks on free speech were problematic because, according to Brennan, free speech was “weaponized” in Nazi Germany. “Well, [Vance] was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups,” Brennan said. “The context of that was changing the tone of it. And you know that, the censorship was specifically about the righ...

Kirk: Elbridge Colby is the right man to carry out Trump’s America First mandate

By Charlie Kirk | The Federalist, Commentary President Trump was elected with a mandate — a mandate to rethink the core assumptions of Washington, D.C., that have led this country to disaster after disaster. A mandate to put America first instead of last. To fulfill his mandate, the president needs to be able to make the appointments of his choosing without being sabotaged by the members of his own party that he carried to victory in November. Yet right now, a fight has broken out over the nomination of Elbridge Colby to be undersecretary of defense for policy, the top strategy official at the Pentagon. Make no mistake: This is a make-or-break moment for whether Donald Trump’s America First foreign policy will succeed — or even happen. Colby is being attacked precisely because hi...
