In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Senators from Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Virginia especially, have been rolling out the red carpet for this cabinet from Hell. Vote accordingly.
Every single Democratic Senator agreed to unanimous consent to allow the confirmation of this dangerous, autocratic nominee. Bondi will weaponize the DOJ. It’s a five alarm fire.
And Democrats allowed it. Many of them went to a protest today at Treasury and lied about doing everything they could.
