    Newly leaked footage from the set of Tucker Carlson’s Fox Nation show revealed the former host trashing the network’s streaming platform.

    The footage was leaked to watchdog group Media Matters and shows Carlson on the phone with an unidentified person while on the set of his Tucker Carlson Today program.

    “I don’t want to be a slave to Fox Nation, which I don’t think that people watch anyway,” Carlson said on the call, which was on speaker phone. “We’re gonna — because, you know, I’m like a representative of the American media now, speaking to an exile in Romania and welcoming him back into the brotherhood of journalists.”

    The back and forth appeared to pertain to Carlson’s wardrobe for the interview.

    “Yeah. It would help us out if you wore a sweater though, because we asked him not to wear a suit,” an unidentified voice said on the call. “Like he was panicking about it and we said, ‘You don’t have to. Tucker’s gonna be looking casual. That’s just how our show looks.’ Is that okay?”

    “I mean, this is airing on the nighttime show, and I want it to look official. I don’t want it to be like bro talk. You know what I mean?” Carlson said.

    The unknown speaker on the phone insisted that if the interview went over 45 minutes, it would be uploaded to air on Fox Nation.

    “But nobody’s gonna watch it on Fox Nation. Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks. So I’d really like to just put the — dump the whole thing on YouTube,” Carlson said. “But anyway, that’s just my view. I’m just frustrated with — it’s hard to use that site. I don’t know why they’re not fixing it. It’s driving me insane. And they’re like making like Lifetime movies, but they don’t work on the infrastructure of the site. Like what? It’s crazy. And it drives me crazy cause it’s like we’re doing all this extra work and no one can find it.”

    “It’s unbelievable, actually. I don’t know who runs that site,” Carlson said exasperated.

    Fox Nation produces a variety of shows with talent including Fox News stars as well as Nancy Grace, Roseanne Barr, and actor Kevin Costner.

    When Carlson signed his new contract with Fox in 2021, he expanded his presence on Fox Nation with documentaries and a flagship show, Tucker Carlson Today.

    Nearly two weeks ago, Carlson was suddenly ousted from the network.

    Texas Rep. Targets Trump In Unhinged Rant During Rally Event

      Texas Congressman Jasime Crockett unleashed an unhinged anti-Trump rant during a weekend event.

      Crockett joined fellow Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) for the rally held by the political advocacy group to inspire voters ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

      Ahead of her slam on Trump, the congresswoman said in the clip flagged by Mediaite she’s confident that a Democratic candidate will win the 2028 presidential election, and laid out the strategy the party should have to secure that victory.

      “But what are we going to need to do then?” she asked. “For me, it’s getting aggressive.”

      “Now listen, I’m not going to say that’s what we’re going to do, but I’m telling y’all what my vision’s [going to] be,” she continued, pointing to limiting the Supreme Court, which she called “corrupt.”

      She then used the expletive against Trump but argued that it’s Congress and the high court that need to be reined in because they’re the institutions allowing him to implement his agenda.

      “But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this. But he’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been able to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit,” she said.

      President Donald Trump hit back at Democrat lawmaker on Tuesday, calling her “a very low IQ person” during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” 

      “I won the election in a landslide,” Trump said. “And obviously that’s only, you know, we’re only six months in, but my poll numbers are better now, much better than during the election. Part of that is because the Democrat Party is self-destructing. I mean, when you have low IQ, people like Crockett, I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, a great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett.” 

      Trump said Crockett was “one of the leaders” of the Democrat Party, which he argued was “lost.” 

      “But you have this woman, Crockett, she’s a very low IQ person,” the president said. “Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you got to be kidding. Are they? The Democrats are lost. They have Trump derangement syndrome so bad that they can’t walk. They can’t talk. They don’t know where they’re going. [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer is finished. Schumer look, I watched him the other day. He’s lost all of his confidence.”

      Trump Plans to Dramatically Reverse Biden’s Open Border Lunacy

      ANALYSIS – While the left immediately claimed Donald Trump’s immigration plan for his potential second term is ‘draconian,’ and ‘extreme,’ it really isn’t. It’s essentially a needed dramatic reversal to Joe Biden’s extreme open border insanity.

      It’s being referred to as a ‘bolting the hatches’ and ‘bomb the cartels’ strategy. And I’m all for it. 

      Especially since what we have now is total third-world chaos and thoroughly unacceptable for America.

      The New York Post recently reported that Joe Biden has now literally opened the floodgates at the border by welding open 114 gates in Arizona’s border wall near Tucson. 

      The paper noted that in addition to endangered antelope being free to cross:

      …the move is also letting an average of 1,400 migrants from as far away as China casually walk into the country daily — with overwhelmed and outnumbered border agents practically helpless to stop them.

      “We thought the agents were going to tell us something,” one Ecuadorian migrant said. “But we just walked in.”

      The Post added: “Smugglers are capitalizing on the floodgate blunder, driving migrants by the busload to the border and dropping them off as if they were casual tourists.”

      And, unlike the mostly South American migrants who have been stopped crossing illegally into Texas, the immigrants coming to Arizona are from places as far as India, Egypt, and China.

      Rather than the disheveled and exhausted South American migrants at the end of a long and arduous trek across Mexico, the migrants at Tucson now look more like folks on vacation.

      The libertarian-leaning (generally not liberal) Reason outlet was also harshly critical of Trump’s new proposed immigration policies. But when I read their version of what they thought was horrible, I mostly applauded.

      Trump’s plan includes:

      Screening out Marxists as well as Communists – check.

      Screening out potential terrorists from extremist countries – check.

      Ending so-called birthright citizenship so that simply being born here from parents who entered illegally isn’t an option – check.

      Quickly deporting criminal migrants – check.

      Targeting Mexico’s deadly drug cartels as enemy combatants – check.

      Generally making it harder to enter the United States legally (if you are willing to cross Mexico on foot, you can do more paperwork) – check.

      I can easily stand behind every item noted above and below. 

      According to Reason:

      “Trump’s plan would involve waves of harsh new policies — and dust off old ones that rarely have been enforced, if ever,” writes Kight. One policy would “ramp up ideological screening” for would-be legal immigrants. U.S. immigration law already largely bars Communist Party–affiliated people from immigrating, but Trump would reportedly expand that to reject “Marxist” applicants. Another policy would expand the former president’s “Muslim ban” to “block more people from certain countries from entering the U.S.,” notes Axios. Trump’s platform would also include ending birthright citizenship and carrying out quick deportations of criminal migrants under “an obscure section of the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts.”

      Other aspects of the plan would target drug cartels and smuggling. It would label cartels as “‘unlawful enemy combatants’ to allow the U.S. military to target them in Mexico,” Axios reports, the same designation the government has used “to justify long-term detentions of 9/11 suspects at Guantanamo Bay.” It would also authorize the Coast Guard and Navy to form a blockade in U.S. and Latin American waters to halt boats carrying drugs.

      Certain aspects of the plan, if implemented, would likely run into legal challenges. One such aspect is Trump’s reported intent to use the Alien Enemies Act, signed by President John Adams in 1798, “to quickly remove smugglers and migrant criminals…without having to go through legal steps in [Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s] deportation process.” Other policies would put hopeful migrants—and even travelers—through invasive and costly procedures to enter the U.S., such as social media searches and paying bonds to come here.

      Well, after four years of border violence and chaos, and an unprecedented wave of illegal immigrants being practically invited across an open border before being shuttled throughout the country and fed and housed at taxpayer expense, it is time for some cracking down.

      Bolt the hatches and bomb away.

      Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral Found Guilty In Bribery Case

      A retired four-star admiral who once served as the Navy’s second-highest ranking officer, was convicted of bribery and other conspiracy charges on Monday. The conviction marks the most senior member of the U.S. military ever convicted of committing a federal crime while on active duty.

      Following a five-day trial, retired four-star Adm. Robert Burke, 62, was found guilty on Monday of a scheme to direct lucrative contracts to the training company Next Jump in exchange for a $500,000-a-year job after leaving the Navy, according to a news release from the Department of Justice. 

      Burke is facing up to 30 years in prison for his role in the scheme to direct contracts potentially worth millions of dollars to a New York City-based company that offered training programs to the Navy.

      Burke, who served aboard attack and ballistic missile submarines, rose through the ranks to eventually become chief of naval personnel in 2016 followed by vice chief of naval operations in June 2019. He then took command of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa and Allied Joint Forces Command in June 2020 before retiring in summer 2022.

      Yongchul “Charlie” Kim and Meghan Messenger, co-CEOs of Next Jump, allegedly participated in the scheme to get a government contract in exchange for offering Burke a position with the company.

      Kim and Messenger were each charged with bribery and conspiracy to commit bribery, according to the case’s unsealed indictment. They face trial in August, which is when Burke will be sentenced. 

      Kim and Messenger, via their company Next Jump, provided a workforce training pilot program to a small component of the Navy from August 2018 through July 2019. However, the deal appeared to go downhill and the Navy terminated a contract with the company in late 2019 and directed it not to contact Burke.

      The Hill reports:

      But in summer 2021, Messenger and Kim met with Burke in Washington, D.C., to reestablish their company’s business relationship with the Navy. While at the meeting, the two “agreed that Burke would use his position as a Navy Admiral to steer a contract” to their firm — as well as influence other Navy officers to award another contract to the company — in exchange for his future employment there, according to the Justice Department. 

      Burke in December 2021 then ordered his staff to award a $355,000 contract to Next Jump to train personnel under Burke’s command in Italy and Spain, which the company performed in January 2022. 

      In October 2022, Burke began working at Next Jump with an annual salary of $500,000 and a grant of $100,000 in stock options. 

      Burke was accused of making several false and misleading statements to the Navy to conceal the scheme, such as implying that his discussions to join Next Jump began months after the contract was awarded.

      “When you abuse your position and betray the public trust to line your own pockets, it undermines the confidence in the government you represent,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro wrote in a post on X following the conviction. 

      Thanksgiving Turnaround: Americans Finally See Relief Under President Trump

        As millions of families gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, many are finally beginning to feel a long-awaited sense of financial relief—relief that President Donald J. Trump has been fighting tirelessly to deliver.

        After inheriting the worst inflation crisis in 40 years from Joe Biden and Democrat leadership, the renewed Trump Administration has moved swiftly to correct course: unleashing American energy, slashing crushing regulations, and tackling inflation at its roots. While there is still much work ahead, these policies are already translating into meaningful, tangible improvements for American families.

        This Thanksgiving, those improvements are showing up where it matters most: at the gas pump and the grocery store.

        The Job Isn’t Finished—But the Turnaround Has Begun

        No one on the right is declaring “mission accomplished.” American families are still paying far more than they should after four years of reckless federal spending, regulatory overreach, and economic mismanagement. But for the first time in years, the trendlines are finally headed in the right direction.

        Local news outlets across the country are reporting the same story: lower gas prices, cheaper Thanksgiving dinners, and early signs of an economy beginning to heal.

        Below are some of the highlights from communities nationwide.

        Falling Gas Prices Coast to Coast

        Denver, CO — Gas Dips Below $2

        KDVR-TV reports Denver-area gas prices have fallen 14.5 cents in just one week, with at least one station dropping below $2 a gallon—levels not seen in years. At $2.47 on average, Denver prices are well under the national average and significantly lower than last year.

        San Antonio, TX — Pandemic-Era Lows

        KSAT-TV notes that Thanksgiving travelers in Texas are seeing some of the cheapest prices since the pandemic—welcome relief for families crisscrossing the state this holiday season.

        Indiana & Louisiana — Steady Declines

        From Indiana’s 12.3-cent drop reported by WBIW Radio to broad decreases across Louisiana, drivers are finally getting a break after years of painful price hikes.

        Ohio, New Hampshire & Pennsylvania — A Return to Normal

        Stations in Northeast Ohio, New Hampshire, and Pittsburgh are reporting sharp declines, with some areas seeing gas below $3 again—something unthinkable throughout most of the Biden years.

        Thanksgiving Dinner: Meaningfully Cheaper for Millions

        It isn’t just fuel costs that are improving. For the third year in a row, the cost of the traditional Thanksgiving meal is falling—and this year’s decreases are especially notable.

        Iowa & Midwest — Turkey Prices Down

        KIMT-TV highlights a 5% overall drop in meal costs in Iowa, with falling turkey and wheat prices leading the way.

        Michigan — Below the National Average

        The Detroit Free Press confirms that Michigan families will spend roughly $51.80 for a dinner serving 10—well below the national average.

        Louisiana — One of the Cheapest States in America

        According to The Shreveport Times, Louisiana’s average Thanksgiving dinner cost is just $44.70—the second lowest in the entire country.

        Arizona, Illinois & New York — Broad-Based Relief

        From Arizona’s modest price drop to Illinois’ 16% decline in turkey prices and New York’s third consecutive year of lower dinner costs, the story is consistent: Thanksgiving is becoming more affordable again.

        A Promising Start to an American Comeback

        None of these improvements happened by accident.

        They are the result of a renewed commitment to American energy dominance, the deregulation of key industries, and an economic strategy focused squarely on the needs of working families—not bureaucrats or special interests.

        America thrives under conservative leadership — and Northwest Ohio deserves it back. Help us FLIP OH-09 and stop the Left’s socialist agenda. Pitch in today!

        Indicted Democrat Touts Pelosi’s Support In Reelection Bid — But She Hasn’t Endorsed Her

        A Democratic congresswoman facing serious federal charges is now under fire for touting political support she hasn’t actually received.

        Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted last fall for allegedly stealing millions in disaster relief funds, is promoting what her campaign calls an endorsement from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — even though Pelosi has not publicly backed her reelection bid in years.

        Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign website features a glowing statement attributed to Pelosi, suggesting current support for the embattled lawmaker.

        “Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, in her time in Congress, has been masterful at bringing people together… by working on big problems and staying focused on shared values,” Pelosi says in the statement. “It is my honor and privilege to support Sheila… for re-election as the U.S. Representative for Florida’s 20th Congressional District.”

        But according to a press release reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Pelosi made that comment in July 2022 — nearly four years ago — when Cherfilus-McCormick was running for her first full term. A source familiar with the matter confirmed Pelosi has not issued any recent public endorsement.

        Despite that, the campaign continues to present the statement as if it reflects Pelosi’s current support heading into the 2026 election.

        Millions Allegedly Diverted From FEMA Funds

        Federal prosecutors allege Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaigns were partially financed through more than $5.7 million in FEMA overpayments issued to her family’s company, Trinity Health Care Services.

        Rather than returning the money, prosecutors say the congresswoman used a “substantial portion” of the funds to boost her political run while also spending on “luxury personal items.”

        The Department of Justice indicted Cherfilus-McCormick in November on charges including stealing federal COVID-19 disaster relief funds, funneling money into her campaign, participating in a straw donor scheme, and conspiring to file a false tax return.

        If convicted, she could face up to 53 years in prison.

        Cherfilus-McCormick has pleaded not guilty and denies wrongdoing. She was not present at her Feb. 3 arraignment in Miami federal court.

        Political Standing Collapsing at Home

        Even in her deep-blue Fort Lauderdale-area district, the congresswoman’s political future appears shaky.

        A Listener Group–Political Matrix News survey released Monday found only 22% of likely Democratic primary voters believe she should remain in office and seek reelection. She holds a -30% favorability rating, with just two in ten respondents approving of her job performance ahead of the August 2026 primary.

        She is also facing a growing challenge from 26-year-old activist Elijah Manley, who leads her 38% to 35% in a hypothetical primary matchup. Former Broward County Mayor Dale Holness trails with 10% support.

        The poll surveyed 300 likely primary voters from Feb. 2–4 and reported a 3% margin of error.

        Weak Fundraising and Mounting Ethics Scrutiny

        Cherfilus-McCormick’s campaign raised just $119,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025, while spending nearly as much — $110,000 — on legal fees, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

        Meanwhile, her opponents posted stronger numbers: Manley raised $79,000, and Holness brought in $140,000 during the same period.

        The congresswoman is also under investigation by the House Ethics Committee over allegations including illegal donations and inaccurate financial reporting. The committee has already found “substantial evidence” of misconduct tied to the federal indictment.

        A Campaign Built on Yesterday’s Support

        With criminal charges looming, sinking poll numbers, and serious ethical questions, Cherfilus-McCormick is now facing backlash not only for the allegations — but for campaigning as though Pelosi still stands behind her.

        FBI Sued for Documents on Cover-up of Hunter Biden Gun Sale

        While law-abiding gun owners and sellers nationwide are targeted by the FBI and Justice Department over paperwork errors, at least one politically powerful gun owner may have gotten special treatment from the agency after his firearm was illegally left in a public trash can.

        The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for FBI records about a gun owned by President Joe Biden’s 53-year-old son Hunter Biden, that reportedly was tossed in trash can behind a Delaware grocery store.

        “The FBI and Secret Service have both been implicated in a corrupt clean-up operation to protect Hunter Biden from the criminal consequences of his gun scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

        Multiple media outlets reported in October 2020, weeks before the presidential election between Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, that in October 2018, Hunter Biden’s handgun was taken by his girlfriend Hallie Biden, also the widow of his brother Beau. 

        Hallie Biden, fearing what Hunter may do with the gun, threw it in a trash can across the street from a high school.  Realizing what she did, she later returned to retrieve the weapon, but found it missing.

        Delaware police began investigating, fearing the illegally-disposed weapon may have been taken by a high school student, or could be later used in a crime.

        But the case took a different turn when the Secret Service showed up.

        Rather than investigate the Bidens for illegally disposing of a weapon, or helping track it down, Secret Service agents showed up at the store where it was purchased and seized all paperwork connecting Hunter Biden to the gun, according to two people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the other was briefed by a Secret Service agent after the fact.

        Judicial Watch filed suit after FBI did not comply with a January 30, 2023, FOIA request for “all records, including investigative reports, telephone logs, witness statements, memoranda, and firearms purchase documentation, related to the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of a firearm owned by Hunter Biden discarded in a Delaware trash receptacle circa October 2018.”

        In a separate FOIA lawsuit, Judicial Watch received records from the United States Secret Service implicating FBI in the unusual action to help Hunter Biden.

        In response, Judicial Watch also asked for “all records of communications of FBI officials regarding the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of the firearm,” which may detail an effort to cover up any potential Biden family crime.

        Included in those Secret Service records is a response to a February 2021 email from Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger regarding the Secret Service’s involvement in the investigation of the Hunter Biden gun incident, the Communications Department asks for “more information or documentation.” 

        “Sure thing. Agents visited StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and asked to take possession of the paperwork Hunter had filled out to purchase a gun there. The FBI also had some involvement in the investigation,” Schreckinger wrote.

        Judicial Watch also uncovered a March 2021 email from New York Post reporter Lorena Mongelli, who reached out to the Secret Service Communications Office, asking for comment on text messages on Hunter Biden’s lost laptop.

        “It appears the text messages were sent from Hunter Biden in which he indicates that the Secret Service did in fact respond to the Oct. 23, 2018 [gun] incident. This information contradicts your previous statement relating to the incident and we would like to know whether the Secret Service would like to respond to these new findings,” Mongelli wrote.

        “We have received your inquiry, would you be able to provide copies of these alleged text messages for reference?,” replied a person from the Communications Office, whose name is redacted.

        Mongelli responds, noting the involvement of the FBI and Secret Service:

        The Daily Mail actually posted copies of the same text messages the NY Post is referencing. This is what one text message says:

        “She stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic]. Then told me it was my problem to deal with,” Hunter wrote.

        “Then when the police the FBI the secret service came on the scene she said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm myself due to o my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.”

        Harris Rally Descends Into Chaos As Attendees Suffer Medical Emergencies

          Yikes…

          Several attendees at Vice President Kamala Harris’s “extremely hot” campaign rally in Chandler, Arizona on Thursday passed out and threw up as a result of the heat.

          “It is extremely hot inside Harris’s Chandler rally,” reported Washington Post campaign reporter Dylan Wells. “Lots of calls for medics as attendees pass out, and a supporter throwing up near the press pen.”

          Before the event began, supporters of Harris could be seen lining up outside in more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat.

          Inside the rally, footage showed attendees frantically fanning themselves with papers and other items as they waited for Harris to take the stage.

          According to Daily Wire investigative journalist Spencer Lindquist, “Several attendees had to be escorted out by medics during the rally and appeared to be suffering from heatstroke or dehydration,” as the temperature in Chandler reached a height of 103 degrees.

          The Arizona Republic reported that Harris volunteers “walked around with cases of water for rally-goers and checked to see if they needed any medical attention, although most in line were unbothered by the heat as they made their way relatively quickly through the queue.”

          The disastrous night shows a stark comparison from an outdoor Trump rally over the summer in which attendees also waited in blistering heat.

          The event at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame in Asheboro, marked the Republican presidential candidate’s first outdoor event since a would-be assassin shot and wounded him at rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this year.

          A woman apparently had passed out in the stands, perhaps due to heat exposure, and Trump left the stage, where he was surrounded by bulletproof glass, to check on her.

          Emergency medical personnel were treating the woman, who looked red in the face. She was conscious at that point and holding a bottle of water.

          Trump gave her a hug, and she seemed very pleased to meet him.

          There had been calls for a medic from the crowd, which Trump had acknowledged from the stage, asking for “a doctor, please.”

          “It is very hot here,” he said.

          President Trump is the only one who stood up for working families, and the DC elite want him destroyed. Kamala is raising over $1 Billion to crush his campaign. Will you chip in $3 before the day ends? — JD Vance


          Democrats Attempt To Label Trump’s Venezuela Operation ‘Impeachable Offense’

          Democrats and Republicans have split sharply over President Donald Trump’s decision to carry out strikes in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, with a growing number of Democratic lawmakers calling the operation unconstitutional and some openly urging impeachment.

          Progressive Democrats have led the backlash, accusing the administration of launching an illegal military action without congressional authorization. Several lawmakers argue that the operation amounts to an invasion of a sovereign nation and violates both the Constitution and the War Powers Act.

          “Many Americans woke up to a sick sense of déjà vu,” Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) a member of the House’s progressive “Squad,” wrote on X over the weekend. “Under the guise of liberty, an administration of warmongers has lied to justify an invasion and is dragging us into an illegal, endless war so they can extract resources and expand their wealth.”

          Ramirez called for Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution introduced by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., aimed at blocking further military action against Venezuela, and said Trump “must be impeached.”

          Omar’s resolution seeks to reassert Congress’ constitutional authority over war-making and would require the administration to halt hostilities unless lawmakers explicitly approve them.

          Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) echoed those concerns, criticizing Trump for bypassing Congress to launch what he described as a war with Venezuela. Goldman said the administration failed to provide lawmakers with “any satisfactory explanation” for the strikes.

          “This violation of the United States Constitution is an impeachable offense,” Goldman said in a statement. “I urge my Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives to finally join Democrats in reasserting congressional authority by holding this president accountable.”

          Other Democrats struck a more cautious tone. Rep. April McClain Delaney (D-Md.) stopped short of naming Trump but wrote on X that “invading and running another country without a congressional declaration of war is an impeachable offense,” while also questioning whether impeachment is the most effective strategy. “Whether it makes sense to pursue impeachment as the best strategy to end this lawlessness is a tactical judgment that our Caucus needs to seriously deliberate,” she wrote.

          In California, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) a gubernatorial hopeful, said he would not rule out supporting impeachment when asked by reporters, according to the Pleasanton Weekly.

          Progressive candidates running for office also weighed in. Kat Abughazaleh, a Democrat seeking an open House seat in Illinois, called Trump a “war criminal” in a post on Bluesky and demanded Congress “halt this conflict and impeach” the president.

          Still, Democrats are not unified in their opposition. A number of more centrist lawmakers have either defended the administration’s actions or argued that the removal of Maduro serves U.S. national security interests. Some Democrats have described the operation as a targeted effort to remove a destabilizing authoritarian leader rather than the start of a broader war, while others have said the administration should now work with Congress to define limits and next steps.

          Republicans, for their part, have largely rallied behind Trump. GOP leaders characterized the operation as a decisive blow against a longtime adversary of the United States and a win for regional stability.

          Senior Republicans have also pushed back on claims that the administration violated the Constitution, arguing that the action was a limited law enforcement or counterterrorism operation rather than a traditional military engagement requiring prior congressional approval.

          While impeachment calls are growing among progressives, Democratic leadership has so far stopped short of endorsing that approach

          Democrats just filed articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth — and he could be removed if we don’t act. Hegseth is a God-fearing, America First patriot who made our country safer under President Trump — and that’s exactly why the Left wants him gone. We’re demanding 1,000,000 signatures before MIDNIGHT to show Pete he is NOT alone. STAND WITH PETE. ADD YOUR NAME NOW.

            On Thursday, former President Donald Trump revealed his daughter Tiffany Trump is pregnant.

            Trump was delivering remarks at the Detroit Economic Club when he recognized several guests in the crowd, including businessman Massad Boulos, who is Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law.

            “He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy,” Trump said. “And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”

            Tiffany Trump, 30, is the daughter of the former president and Marla Maples. She and Boulos were married in 2022.
