And it’s a challenge we’re willing to accept.
We are dedicated to developing a news outlet that cuts straight to the heart of key political and policy arguments—not spin reported as news.

TONY KINNETT: Well, with the situation developing with [acting U.S. Attorney] Alina Habba in New Jersey, the situations regarding [Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.], the ethics violation possibility, there has never been a bigger need for the American people to see confirmations moving through the Senate on the express track. So, we’re bringing on [Republican] Sen. […]
Following a years-long surge in illegal immigration, the President Donald Trump administration is poised to challenge a longstanding but legally fraught practice: counting illegal aliens in the U.S. census. Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Joe Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and […]
In less than six months, the entire world has been turned upside down. There is no longer such a thing as conventional wisdom or the status quo. The unthinkable has become the banal. Take illegal immigration—remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under former President Joe Biden? Recall the only solution was supposedly “comprehensive immigration reform”—a euphemism […]
Immigration and Customs Enforcement illegal-alien detention facility standards “are among the highest in the nation,” the agency insists. Images of a library, doctor’s office, a gym with kids playing dodgeball, and a clean cafeteria are featured in a new video ICE released Thursday touting the conditions of illegal-alien detention facilities in the U.S. “Democrats and the mainstream media love […]
Many so-called experts predicted that President Donald Trump’s economic agenda would usher in an inflationary Armageddon. This projection was so often repeated in the media that many Americans, especially Democrats, believed a depression was imminent. Yet the economy is thoroughly beating expectations and consumers’ expectations are becoming increasingly optimistic. Upon taking office again, Trump reiterated the economic policy […]
Déjà vu. That’s what Americans felt after the recent riots, violence, and left-wing antics centered in Los Angeles, California. Radicals used President Donald Trump’s deportations of illegal immigrants from communities around the nation as their pitiful excuse for the chaos. After weeks of simmering opposition to the federal government’s enforcement actions, those advocating for lawlessness began […]
As Speaker of the House Mike Johnson teases subsequent budget reconciliation bills to follow up on the recently enacted “Big, Beautiful Bill,” Republicans in Congress are already filling out their wish lists for reforms they want included in it. Johnson, R-La., laid out his plan in an interview Sunday, two days after the One Big Beautiful Bill […]
While Democrats continue to decry Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation, newly obtained police records show that the suspected human smuggler is connected to another individual ticketed for cramming around 10 people in a car on a cross-country border trip. Abrego Garcia — a deported Salvadoran illegal migrant who has since been brought back to the U.S. to face smuggling […]
On Thursday at 6:54 a.m., the U.S. House passed the Trump and Republican-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act. (Yup, that is this 1,118-page measure’s official title.) By a snare-drum-tight, 215-214 vote, all but three Republicans and zero Democrats chose to give Americans $4.1 trillion in tax relief, along with their bacon, eggs, tea, and toast. President Donald […]
THE CENTER SQUARE—President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and others on Monday thanked those U.S. service members who died serving their country during a Memorial Day event at Arlington National Cemetery. “We gather today to honor the incredible service members who rest in glory in this cemetery and burial grounds around the world, and in thousands […]
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has overcome Democrat opposition to proceeding to a vote this week on overturning California’s electric vehicle mandate. In a 53-to-46 party-line vote, the Senate on Wednesday moved to proceed with a vote on revoking a Biden-era Environmental Protection Agency exemption that enabled California to ban the sales of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks […]
On Memorial Day, we honor the Americans who have died protecting and serving this country in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. It is a time when all of us should—no matter who we are, where we come from, or where we fall along the political spectrum—forget about politics and our differences and remember […]
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has consistently beaten the odds throughout the first five months of the 119th Congress, settling seemingly irreconcilable disagreements within the fractious House Republican Conference to advance President Donald Trump’s highest priorities. And Johnson, R-La., hasn’t forgotten to remind the public. “I know some of y’all smiled and probably mocked me a […]
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—President Donald Trump on Thursday named San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone to serve on the advisory board of the newly-created Religious Liberty Commission. Cordileone made headlines in 2022 after denying then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Holy Communion due to her public support and promotion of abortion. The commission was created via executive order on May 1 in order to “vigorously enforce […]
The Arlington County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to end its police department’s ability to report illegal aliens arrested for felonies and terrorist activity to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
