On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) defended his vote to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians by saying that revoking the status won’t cause a significant number to be deported because any efforts will be tied up in court and there are so many Haitians with TPS and if TPS is ended for them in one stroke, “they’re going to be even more of a drain on our public welfare system, because now they don’t have the ability to work. But, even more importantly, once they’ve made that decision that they’re going…
The FISA punt is setting up a chaotic stretch on Capitol Hill, with GOP infighting now threatening to jam up other Republican priorities.

The timing couldn’t be worse. President Donald Trump’s June 1 deadline to pass immigration enforcement funding and reopen DHS is fast approaching, and Republicans are already running out of runway.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared a post that suggested the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a hoax. In her post, Greene responded to the original post, questioning why Trump “of all people” was not “leading the charge” to find out the truth about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks. On July 13, 2024, Trump was shot by a “bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear, after Crooks opened fire from the rooftop of a nearby building. “Extremely important post worth the read and consideration,” Greene wrote. “Corey Comperatore’s family deserves to…
