The Chinese Communist Party’s Organization Department typically publishes these numbers in late June every year in anticipation of the anniversary of the founding of…

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President Donald Trump is acting more lawless than he did in his first term when asked about possible impeachment. Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to follow up with you because you said the strikes were illegal because they were carried out without congressional approval. Your colleague, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said it is grounds for impeachment. Do you agree with that and the fact that President Trump acted unilaterally for grounds for impeachment?” Murphy said, “That is a decision the House makes, not a decision the Senate makes. But it…

President Trump is scheduled to visit Florida’s new “Alligator Alcatraz” facility, which he plans to use for housing illegal aliens, on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed to reporters earlier. “There is only one road leading in, and there is— the only way out is a one way flight,” Leavitt said. “It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain.” The President has long embraced tough lock-up conditions for violent criminals “as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.” Last month, President Trump ordered the Bureau of Prisons to reopen the original Alcatraz off the coast…

Both the Constitution and the…

House fiscal hawks are looking at the math underlying Senate Republicans’ sprawling domestic policy legislation, and they don’t like what they see. As Senate Republicans try to muscle President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” for final passage, they’re on track to violate a budget framework brokered between House fiscal hawks and Speaker Mike Johnson. Under that framework, if the GOP piles on tax cuts over $4 trillion, they’d need to match them dollar-for-dollar with additional spending cuts beyond the $1.5 trillion in the House-passed bill. “The Senate version adds $651 billion to the deficit — and that’s before interest costs,…
