The launch featured a livestream and interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whose advisors founded More Perfect Union. “Mainstream media, politicians, and universities are bowing down to the 1%.

Nancy Mace introduces resolution to expel Cory Mills from Congress: ‘Protected for far too long’

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a resolution on Monday to expel Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) from the House of Representatives over allegations of domestic violence, sexual misconduct, stolen valor and profiteering from federal contracts as a member of Congress. Mills has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since November, when an effort by Mace to censure the congressman failed, and the slew of allegations against the Florida Republican were referred to the panel. “The swamp has protected Cory Mills for far too long and we are done letting it slide,” Mace said in a statement. “We tried to...

Fetterman is only Democrat to join Senate Republicans to again reject effort to halt Iran war

The Republican-led Senate on Wednesday rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, turning aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action. The 47-52 vote was the fourth time this year that the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to the president in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against it. Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted with Democrats. Republicans say they will keep faith in Trump’s wartime...

Impeaching Pete

In a little over a year in office, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has achieved a series of military triumphs that have not, perhaps, been equaled since World War II: the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, and the air campaign against Iran’s regime. These missions have been flawlessly executed by Hegseth’s department, so naturally the Democrats want to impeach him.The first articles of impeachment were filed in January by Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar, but got little attention. A new, expanded set of articles was filed today. You can read the document here. Axios describes the...

Gov. Mikie Sherrill demands FIFA foot the bill for World Cup transportation after reports NJ Transit could inflate train tickets by 775%

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill bashed the “inherited” World Cup host agreement in which FIFA is absolved of paying for transportation to the matches at MetLife Stadium — and insisted she won’t stand for its planned price gouging. NJ Transit plans to raise prices to a staggering $100 for fans traveling from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for the eight FIFA World Cup games hosted at the Garden State arena. The average ticket goes for $12.90, marking an egregious 775% premium for all. While the rumored hike has “not been finalized,” according to a NJT spokesperson, locals are...

Sen Kennedy warns Democrat 'loon wing' has 'fried' the party’s motherboard

Sen. John Kennedy ripped the Democratic Party’s leadership Tuesday, claiming a "loon wing" of radical progressives has taken control with "nauseously woke" policies. The Louisiana Republican joined "The Will Cain Show" to argue that many of his Democratic colleagues are afraid to challenge party leaders on the "foolishness" of their shift to the left. "The Democratic Party is controlled by the loon wing. And that doesn't mean they're all, Democrats, a member of the loon wing, but the loon wing's in control," Kennedy said. "Their motherboard is fried." He described the far-left faction as being dominated by figures like Rep....

Republican Paul Dans exits the Senate race, endorses Mark Lynch (consolidating against Graham)

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has one less opponent in his Republican primary race after Truth Social posts by President Donald Trump targeted his competitors.
