Americans should have confidence that every legal vote is counted — and that every voter participating in our elections is legally eligible to do so.
That is the simple premise behind S.3752, the SAVE America Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility), a major election integrity proposal backed by President Donald J. Trump. This federal legislation would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, strengthen voter ID protections, and help ensure that American elections are decided by American citizens.… Continue Reading

For far too long, America’s immigration laws have been ignored, undermined, and openly defied by blue state politicians who promote sanctuary policies and refuse to protect our communities.
The men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol have been on the front lines working to enforce our nation’s laws, stop illegal immigration, combat human trafficking, disrupt drug smuggling, and remove dangerous criminals from our communities.… Continue Reading

Illinois families struggling with high property taxes, rising energy bills, and the increasing cost of living will receive little relief from Springfield’s newest spending plan.
In the early morning hours before adjournment — hours after the official end of regular session — Illinois Democrats passed Governor JB Pritzker’s largest budget yet: a massive $56 billion spending plan that continues the state’s trend of growing government while requiring taxpayers to pay even more.… Continue Reading

During an Illinois Senate committee hearing this week, an interesting exchange took place between Senator Mary Edly-Allen (D-Grayslake) and Senator Craig Wilcox (R-Woodstock) that highlighted the differing approaches often seen between liberal and conservative thinking.
Senate Resolution 752, sponsored by Senator Edly-Allen, is a non-binding measure encouraging Illinois public school districts serving grades 6–12 to consider later school start times based on adolescent sleep research. The resolution argues that teenagers’ biological sleep cycles naturally shift later during puberty, making very early school schedules unhealthy and counterproductive.… Continue Reading

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is alleging that key agencies intentionally concealed critical information regarding the origins of the virus and the safety risks associated with the COVID-19 injections, still commonly labeled “vaccines,” along with the growing evidence regarding the side effects and lack of effectiveness.
During a short interview on Fox News Channel on May 24, 2026, Senator Johnson expressed his frustration and dismay about a major government cover-up, claiming it is “the most egregious government scandal in my lifetime.”… Continue Reading

The U.S. House of Representatives took an important step this week, when it passed H.R. 2616, the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, by a vote of 217-198. The legislation seeks to safeguard parental rights by ensuring that schools cannot hide major decisions regarding a child’s gender identity from moms and dads. This legisation would also require schools to notify parents if school staff encourage or facilitate a child’s “social transition” at school.… Continue Reading

Last week, we reported on comments made by State Senator Steve McClure (R-Effingham) in which he raised serious concerns after discovering that the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) had sent voter registration materials to noncitizens applying for state assistance.
