California Senate President Pro Tem Mike McGuire has launched a congressional campaign against Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa in a district redrawn by Proposition 50. This represents a dangerous attempt to manipulate electoral boundaries for partisan gain, undermining the very foundations of representative democracy that rural communities depend upon.
The Trump administration is planning a policy change that could make it harder for immigrants from travel ban countries to get green cards and other approvals by considering their nationality as a negative factor.

President Trump withdrew his nomination of Donald L. Korb for IRS chief counsel following criticism from far-right activist Laura Loomer, deepening a leadership crisis at the tax agency.

The FBI's unsolved investigation into the pipe bombs planted outside party headquarters on January 5th, 2021, has sparked conspiracy theories and internal Republican conflict, with Trump loyalists now facing criticism for failing to deliver on promises to expose so-called deep state secrets.

The Trump administration is dramatically expanding deportations through the 287(g) program, which allows local sheriffs to detain undocumented immigrants, with Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones reinstating his partnership and housing nearly 2,000 ICE detainees while generating millions in revenue. This systematic erosion of due process and the monetization of human detention represent a grave assault on American values of liberty and justice, turning local jails into profit-driven instruments of a draconian immigration crackdown that tears families apart and undermines constitutional protections.
The Trump administration is withdrawing a Biden-era rule that would have required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cash for significant, controllable travel disruptions, effectively prioritizing airline profits over consumer rights and dignity. This shocking reversal abandons hardworking American travelers to the mercy of an industry that has repeatedly shown it cannot self-regulate, betraying the very principles of fairness and accountability our government should protect.
