The DSA’s Platform Walks Us Through, Brick by Brick

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has officially released an updated platform titled Workers Deserve More!, published through its official magazine, Democratic Left. Describing it as a vision for a “comprehensively democratic society,” the platform seeks to unite the organization’s rank-and-file membership and elected officials around a single political program.

As expected, the DSA platform upholds the “right” to kill preborn babies in the womb (abortion) by calling for universal healthcare and “reproductive care.”… Continue Reading

Federal Lawmakers Want to End Federal Welfare Benefits for Non-Citizens

Written by David E. Smith

As Congress continues to debate immigration and federal spending, legislation has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives to prohibit taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for non-citizens.

Earlier this year, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act (S. 3670), which would prohibit the use of federal funds to provide welfare benefits to refugees, asylees, and illegal immigrants.

A companion measure, H.R.Continue Reading

America’s fiscal baseline is rapidly approaching a critical juncture. With the Social Security Trust Fund officially projected to be exchausted in 2032, everyday citizens and families are facing an uncertain economic horizon.

Secure Voter Rolls or Risk Losing Federal Election Funding

On Friday morning, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced that states failing to maintain accurate voter rolls and implement enhanced election security measures could lose federal election funding. The warning follows President Donald Trump‘s directive that “election security is national security” and is part of a broader effort to strengthen election integrity before the 2026 midterm elections.

Mullin said DHS has identified approximately 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada.… Continue Reading

The Urgent Case for Election Reform

Illinois and the Nation Must Prioritize Election Integrity

President Donald Trump’s prime-time address this week presents a timely opportunity to launch a genuine national, bipartisan effort to strengthen election integrity. Unfortunately, top Democratic officials and their allies in the dishonest media have already rushed to criticize the president, dismissing his concerns about voter fraud and election meddling as “false” or “unsubstantiated.”

On his personal X page, JB Pritzker posted a statement in response accusing the President of “spewing lies” and attempting to “gaslight the American people” with “baseless claims” and “shameless propaganda.Continue Reading

Is Biology That Hard?

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

On July 14th, the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee held a hearing that was titled, Training Activists, Not Physicians: The Impact of DEI on Medical Schools.

United States Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) pressed two medical school deans, Dr. Sam Hawgood and Dr. Steve Dubinett, on whether or not men can get pregnant. You would think that the question would be extremely easy to answer.

No, men cannot get pregnant.… Continue Reading

The Biggest Government Scandal that Legacy Media Won’t Cover

Written by U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI)

On April 29, 2026, as chairman of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I held a hearing and released a report titled “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.” There has not been a bigger government scandal during my lifetime, and yet even now that we have documented proof of corruption, most of the legacy media refuses to report on it.… Continue Reading

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene Leave GOP

Written by Kenna Rose

Is the Republican Party no longer America first? Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene seem to think so.

Carlson, former Fox News host and current host of the Tucker Carlson Network, announced last week he no longer supports the Republican Party in an interview with the Canadian podcast, “Can’t Be Censored.”

“There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party,” he said.

“Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

Please Make One Phone Call TODAY for Election Integrity

Written by David E. Smith

A call-to action is being issued by our good friend Carol Davis of the Illinois Conservative Union and Cleta Mitchell of the Election Integrity Network.

President Trump has delayed signing the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (H.R. 6644) as he continues urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act (S. 3752), legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. According to public statements, the President is using the housing bill as leverage to press Republicans in the U.S.… Continue Reading
