22 blue states including Colorado joined secret anti-Trump resistance pact

By Logan Washburn | The Federalist State attorneys general of nearly half the country have signed a secret resistance pact against a key facet of President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, according to The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. “Of all the things in the world they could have picked — gas, groceries, protecting minorities, making sure kids can get their genitals chopped off, whatever else they claim is their top priority — instead, it’s birthright citizenship,” Mike Howell, executive director of The Oversight Project, told The Federalist. “It shows that the border policies were always political.” Twenty-two top attorneys in Democrat states, alongside the lead attorneys of San Francisco and Washington, D.C., signed a “common interest agreement" beginning on Nov....

Democrats’ baseless attacks on Linda McMahon’s education experience fall a part with one look at her record

By Casey Ryan | Commentary, The Federalist A significant lie that opponents of President Donald Trump spew regarding his decision to nominate Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education is that she does not have enough experience in the subject matter. The National Education Association (NEA) claimed that she is “grossly unqualified” the same day Trump nominated her. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., blasted McMahon as “unqualified” the next day. These statements could not be further from the truth. While McMahon has garnered notable success shepherding World Wrestling Entertainment into a global phenomenon and leading the Small Business Administration (SBA) in Trump’s first term, she also has a proven track record as an advocate for education in her home state. Former Connec...

USAID funneled nearly $800 million to ‘gender transformative’ global censorship group

By Logan Washburn | The Federalist America’s foreign aid agency, USAID, has given nearly $800 million to a group that has pushed censorship and suppressed “heteronormativity” across the globe, according to documents reviewed by The Federalist.  The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) took in $799.7 million in fundingfrom 2015, per IRS tax documents.  According to InfluenceWatch, “The organization is solely funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).” As President Donald Trump pushes to “wind down” USAID — which has apparently become a massive “scam on U.S. taxpayers” — government funding disclosures have brought to light the often frivolous, and in this case nefarious, use of public tax dollars. As The Federalist previous...

Defunding USAID isn’t about reducing the deficit, it’s about shutting down left-wing propaganda

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist The most common argument you’ll hear from those defending the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is that the grant dollars in question are just a fraction of the federal budget — less than one percent! Even if the Trump administration eliminated USAID altogether it wouldn’t put much of a dent in the deficit or help control the national debt, is the argument. Everyone from the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC to Jim Geraghty at National Review are repeating this line. But trimming the federal budget and reducing the deficit aren’t really the point of this exercise. The point is to expose USAID for the left-wing propaganda and regime change operation that it has become, and to shut it down. In the six...

Dems worry Kash Patel could weaponize FBI against political enemies like they did

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist In a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, feckless Democrat senators grilled Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, trying to paint him as a Trump henchman hellbent on seeking revenge for all the crap the FBI put Trump and American citizens through. It’s no wonder they are worried; the nation has seen how the FBI has been turned into a political weapon, and Democrats don’t want it pointed at them. The Federalist has written extensively about corruption within the FBI under Democrats’ watch, including the Russia collusion hoax that Patel helped disprove; the gun-toting dawn raids on the homes of nonviolent citizens; the overreaching invasion of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home; and the tampering in the federal election by conceali...

Kittle: New York Magazine crops out truth with young conservative hit piece

By M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A leftist “news” reporter walks into a conservative event and omits some key details in a hit piece attacking President Donald Trump and his supporters.  Even for New York Magazine, one of the bigger jokes in American journalism, the fact-fractured story headlined, “The Cruel Kids’ Table,” is a lesson in the excesses of the Pravda press.  The hit job, written by the mag’s feature reporter Brock Colyar, is supposed to be a first-person account of inauguration weekend parties filled with “young, confident, and casually cruel Trumpers who, after conquering Washington, have their sights set on America.” It’s the same tired — and false — screed portraying the MAGA movement as privil...

Trump erases ‘Bidenbucks’ and taxpayer-funded leftist voter registration drives

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist “Bidenbucks” was technically dead on arrival on President Donald Trump’s first day in office, but the election-influencing executive order that Trump’s predecessor signed nearly four years ago will take diligence to fully kill. As David Craig, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), told The Federalist, Biden’s order “has substantial tentacles across government.” FGA has been on the frontlines of the battle against Bidenbucks since the executive order’s inception at the beginning of Biden’s term. “The head is cut off the snake but the body continues to slither,” Craig said, noting how deeply embedded Bidenbucks is in every agency, each teeming with left-leaning bureaucrats.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALI...

Republicans, led by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, move to repeal the act Biden used to jail peaceful pro-lifers

By Jordan Boyd | The Federalist Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, with the support of 25 Republican cosponsors, reintroduced legislation on Tuesday that seeks to prevent the political prosecution of peaceful pro-lifers by repealing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Congress first passed the FACE Act in 1994. It was at the direction of President Joe Biden after the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision nearly two decades later, however, that the FBI and Department of Justice started to arrest and hand down uncharacteristically harsh sentences to dozens of people, many Christians, who peacefully protested ending life in the womb. “Americans just spent the last four years being targeted by a weaponized justice system. The FACE Act was one of the primary ...

Trump yanks security clearances of intel officials who spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s laptop

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday night revoking the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who falsely claimed emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian “disinformation” to help Joe Biden’s 2020 election prospects. The directive also pulls the security clearance of John Bolton, who served as national security advisor in Trump’s first term. “To remedy these abuses of the public trust, this Order directs the revocation of any active or current security clearances held by: (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton,” the order reads. The infamous Oct. 19, 2020, let...

Trump grants sweeping clemency for Jan. 6 political prisoners after Biden pardons family

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist President Donald Trump pardoned nearly every defendant charged with crimes related to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 after his predecessor issued pre-emptive pardons for the rest of the Biden family moments before leaving office. The freshly inaugurated president delivered the pardons in one of his first acts upon his triumphant return to the Oval Office. The executive order granted “full, complete, and unconditional pardons” to roughly 1,500 people and commuted the sentences of another 14. The total number of defendants charged is 1,583, according to The Hill. “What they’ve done to these people is outrageous,” Trump said at the White House as he signed a pile of orders across the Resolute Desk READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST...
