Three Russia hoax bombshells hidden in IG report on DOJ surveillance of Congress

By Mollie Hemingway | The Federalist These revelations show why the DOJ needs massive reform in the next administration. Last week the Department of Justice’s inspector general  released a report on some of the DOJ’s tracking of communications from media and congressional figures as part of its purported investigation into who was leaking classified information against President Donald Trump in 2017. Three significant bombshells about the Russia collusion hoax were hidden inside the dense and dry 100-page report. For context, when Trump won the 2016 presidential election, anonymous Democrat operatives in the federal government and Congress began leaking like sieves as part of a coordinated effort to paint Trump as a mastermind spy who had worked with Russian President Vladimir Put...

Congress is ramming through a $895 billion pork-filled defense bill before Trump takes office

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist Clocking in at 1,813 pages, the 2025 NDAA is stuffed with items unrelated to defense policy and void of conservative priorities. Congressional leaders are gearing up to ram through a $895 billion pork-filled defense bill before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office next month. According to The Hill, the House is expected to vote on the 1,813-page National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 on Wednesday. Released on Saturday night, the legislation — which was negotiated behind closed doors by congressional leadership — is stuffed with items unrelated to defense policy and void of conservative priorities included in the version passed by the GOP-controlled House earlier this year.

Republican senator introduces federal ban on mutilating trans procedures for children

By Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., introduced legislation on Wednesday that would federally ban mutilating transgender procedures for children and punish so-called “physicians” who perform such procedures. The legislation would block doctors from being able to prescribe or administer puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, as well as perform mutilating transgender surgeries like mastectomies. The Safeguarding the Overall Protection of Minors (STOP) Act  would allow the Department of Health and Human Services to place a minimum $100,000 fine on doctors who do not follow the law. It would also create a private right of action for victims of the procedures — or their guardians if the victim is still a minor — to sue “individuals responsible for perform...

Bray: Republicans would be stupid not to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense

By Chris Bray, Commentary | The Federalist Already, a month after a significant political victory and a major inflection point, Republican officeholders are becoming our biggest obstacle to success. Again. Pete Hegseth is being Kavanaughed. And the only people dumb enough to fall for it are Republican senators. I was willing to hear arguments that Hegseth wasn’t the best choice for secretary of defense. In his 40s, he’s on his third marriage, and while the rape allegation from his visit to a conservative conference in Monterey is clearly false, I was wide open to the argument that his actions demonstrated poor judgment. I was prepared to hear an argument. Like many combat veterans, Hegseth had some post-war chaos in his life. Discussion was merited. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE F...

Richendollar: Lori Chavez-DeRemer would be a disaster as labor secretary

By Nathan Richendollar | The Federalist Republicans should take the side of their own voters instead of listening to decadent union goons like Sean O’Brien. Donald Trump’s cabinet picks have been mostly stellar. They have signaled Trump’s administration will enforce U.S. immigration law, pursue a firm but less adventurous foreign policy, and most importantly, empower the people at the expense of the federal leviathan, as exemplified by the new Department of Government Efficiency. All of this makes Donald Trump’s Friday announcement of soon-to-be-former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, R-Ore., as his prospective Secretary of Labor incomprehensible and unacceptable. Donald Trump should force her to withdraw immediately. If not, the Senate should reject her appointment. RE...

Bensman: Why reviving Trump’s ‘remain in Mexico’ policy will swiftly reduce border chaos

By Todd Bensman | Commentary, The Federalist Remain in Mexico worked very well under President Trump’s first term and foreshadows a more tranquil border very soon. In July 2019, I crossed the international bridge from El Paso into the sprawling Mexican border city of Juárez to gauge the effects of President Donald Trump’s so-called “Remain in Mexico” policy. On that blazing hot summer day, as 20,000 of an eventual 75,000 had just been expelled under the policy, I made my way by taxi to a shelter high up on a rise in the dangerous neighborhood of Anapra. The shelter is within eyesight of Mexico’s side of the American wall and El Paso beyond. I was soon interviewing recent expellee Veronica Janeth Tejeda of Yoro in northwestern Honduras as she played with one of her two expelled chi...

Biden admin’s ‘woke’ housing agenda faces rude awakening under Republican control

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist ‘DEI programs masquerade as fairness while instead fostering division, inefficiency, and discrimination,’ said Rep. Michael Cloud. As Rep. Bob Good departs Congress, he’s taking on the disaster that is DEI one more time.  The Virginia Republican recently introduced two bills aimed at dealing with the escalating cost and shortage of housing while combating the discriminatory practices of the so-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda in public housing policy.

DOD ‘Intentionally Delayed’ National Guard Deployment To The Capitol On Jan. 6

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist ‘The DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership,’ the letter says. Federal bureaucrats within the Department of Defense (DoD) delayed the deployment of the National Guard on Jan. 6, 2021 and covered it up, according to a House Republican investigation of government conduct related to the Capitol riot. On Thursday, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who is leading a review of the work completed by the partisan Jan. 6 probe run by then-Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, sent a letter to the inspector general for the Department of Defense demanding a correction to an agency report  published in November 2021.

Truax: Don’t let Trump’s decisive victory lull you into a false sense of election security

By Doug Truax | Commentary, The Federalist The incoming Trump administration must make election integrity a top priority through federal legislation or persuading states to pass reforms. Four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a Republican Congress and the public on his side.

Justice: The New York Times fact-checks itself in fumbled fact check of RFK Froot Loops claims

By Tristan Justice | Commentary, The Federalist The New York Times was mocked online for having proved the point the paper was trying to discredit. The New York Times fact-checked itself in an embarrassing attempt to fact-check President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In an article published Friday on Kennedy’s crusade to regulate the food industry, the paper inadvertently contradicted its own criticism of a claim by Kennedy related to a popular cereal marketed to children.
