The House’s conservative fiscal hawks are warning that President Donald Trump’s ‘one big, beautiful bill’ could run into serious problems after the Senate made key changes to the legislation. ‘There’s real problems with it,’ Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. ‘We’re on board with the president… but we’re concerned about the changes.’ He and other members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus are particularly incensed by the Senate’s decision to defer...
While President Donald Trump has asserted that the military’s weekend strike against Iran ‘completely and totally obliterated’ its nuclear weapon-making capabilities, there are still questions about whether the ground-penetrating ‘bunker buster’ bombs used to attack Iran’s key enrichment sites were enough to stop the rogue country from developing a nuclear bomb. A report released last week by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) explains that the special ‘bunker buster’ bombs the U.S. used...
Progressive New York Democrat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fired back at President Donald Trump’s Truth Social rampage on Tuesday after the two traded barbs following Saturday night’s U.S. strikes on Iran. ‘Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,’ Ocasio-Cortez responded Tuesday after the president dubbed her ‘Stupid AOC.’ ‘Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and...
The U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday have rendered ideal results for addressing the crisis between Iran and Israel, according to former President Joe Biden’s National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa. ‘Bottom line, this is about the best place we can be,’ Brett McGurk said in a CNN interview late Monday. ‘I give extremely high marks to this national security team and President Trump for managing this crisis and...
More Americans say they oppose rather than support this past weekend’s U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to a new national poll. However, the Reuters/Ipsos survey points to a wide partisan divide, with most Republicans supporting President Donald Trump’s decision to launch aerial attacks against Iran in order to prevent the Islamic State from acquiring nuclear weapons. Thirty-six percent of adult Americans questioned said they supported the airstrikes, with 45% opposed and 18%...
The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines to quash a lone progressive lawmaker’s bid to impeach President Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon. Lawmakers agreed to table the measure in a 344–79 vote. A vote to table is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself. The resolution was offered by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who was infamously ejected from Trump’s address to...
Attorney General Pam Bondi spoke about the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) efforts to protect religious freedom rights during a House hearing Monday and indicated to lawmakers that she was focused on a range of religions, from Judaism to Islam. ‘It’s not only Catholics, it’s every religion, and even mosques that were slow-walked under the Biden administration and not allowed to open,’ Bondi said. ‘We will protect every religion in this country.’ The attorney general’s remarks...
Hours after President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the fragile agreement nearly collapsed as hostilities flared before the truce took effect. Despite the president’s announcement, Israel continued its military campaign — launching attacks before the ceasefire’s scheduled start 12 hours later. Iran retaliated with a deadly rocket barrage on a hospital in Be’er Sheva, killing at least four people. Israel began preparing a full-scale response before the president stepped in. Trump,...
Lawmakers are anxious that the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran may not hold, but many are not ready to call for regime change in the Islamic Republic. President Donald Trump on Monday announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a truce, but as the evening carried into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, whether that peace would last came into question. Israel had reportedly geared up for a retaliatory bombing run against Iran,...
President Donald Trump dared progressive ‘Squad’ member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to try and impeach him over the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, after she had suggested such a measure. ‘Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social. Trump said the ‘reason for her ‘rantings’...
