An advertisement in favor of MORE's reelection ran during Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night.  The 30-second ad, which was later tweeted out by Trump campaign manager MORE, focused on the president's record but also hit Democrats over their impeachment inquiry into the president.  It credited Trump with "obliterating ISIS" after the group's leader was recently killed, as well as "cutting illegal immigration in half." "But the Democrats would rather focus on impeachment and phony investigations, ignoring the real issues," the advert

Secretary of State MORE is at the center of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president.  "The call was consistent with what I had a long set of conversations with President Trump on our policy for an awfully long time," Pompeo said in an interview with Fox News.

A resolution outlining the upcoming public phase of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry advanced through committee along party lines on Wednesday, setting it up for a critical floor vote on Thursday. The House Rules Committee advanced the resolution 9-4 after nearly three hours of Republicans unsuccessfully attempting to amend it to give themselves more control over the process. The resolution establishes a process for the House Intelligence Committee to conduct open hearings, release transcripts of closed-door witness testimony and issue a report on its findings. The Intelligence panel would

Republican concerns are mounting about MORE as damaging information piles up regarding his dealings with Ukraine. The dam is not yet at the bursting point, but anxiety — fueled by the sense that more revelations could emerge at any moment — is rippling through the GOP. “It’s fair to say my conversations with members continue to go to a worse place,” said Doug Heye, a former communications director of the Republican National Committee.  Heye added that, for the moment, there was a sizable gap between “private consternation versus public consternation.”  More discord co

House Democrats on Thursday will take the biggest leap of their impeachment campaign against MORE, staging their first floor vote on the explosive topic and laying the groundwork to shift the process from closed-door obscurity to the televised spotlight. The stakes are high.

Earlier this week, Pelosi and the rest of the House leadership announced they would hold a vote on Thursday—Halloween—to establish procedures governing the ongoing impeachment probe.

The “Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019” amnesty would create two huge streams of low-wage labor for farm companies and likely for meatpackers and other agricultural employers. One stream would be from the population of one million existing farmworker illegal aliens who will be amnestied and redefined as “Certified Agricultural Workers” so they can get green cards and citizenship after several years — regardless of the “public charge” rule which bars welfare-reliant migrants from citizenship. The second stream would come from illegal aliens who sign up to be legal H-2A visa farmworkers a

Trump tweeted an obviously photoshopped image depicting him honoring the dog, whose photo was released on Tuesday. “AMERICAN HERO!” Trump wrote alongside the photoshopped image: However, Trump’s decision to tweet the image, reportedly created by Daily Wire, prompted some to fact-check the obviously doctored image. “I’ve requested details from the @WhiteHouse on this photo.

The outlet reported that Ciaramella’s name has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, as well as at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. RealClearInvestigations also reported that House Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking questions about Ciaramella and “intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.” The outlet said: It said Ciaramella is 33-years-old, a

LORDSTOWN, Ohio — They stood outside in the dark, illuminated by barrel fires and the headlights of trucks lurching by, and they were angry. The Chevrolet Cruze plant behind them had been idle for six months and shed thousands of jobs. They were the laid-off, reassigned, and retired factory workers who had spent decades inside, fitting headlights and slipping windows into doors as compact sedans took shape on the assembly line.
