DORAL, Fla. — House Republicans have their work cut out for them in the coming weeks, with three fiscal deadlines looming and President Donald Trump pushing for a very active first 100 days of his administration. Congressional GOP leaders are working on a massive conservative policy overhaul via the reconciliation process. By lowering the threshold for passage in the Senate from 60 votes to a simple 51-seat majority, it allows the party in power to advance their policy goals into law, provided those policies deal with budgetary and other fiscal matters. “We want to deliver on all the things that…

The Senate voted Wednesday to advance President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department — former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum — for a final confirmation vote. Burgum appeared before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in mid-January, where he told lawmakers that national security issues and the economy were his two top priorities for leading the agency. “When energy production is restricted in America, it doesn’t reduce demand,” Burgum said in his opening statement Jan. 16. “It just shifts production to countries like Russia and Iran, whose autocratic leaders not only don’t care at all about the…
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday the department has stopped all grant funding to nonprofits that operate outside of government control, saying they have been “perverted into a shadow government” that feeds illegal immigration. Noem said some non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which receive millions in federal grants, have been facilitating illegal immigration by helping aliens cross the U.S. border. “Many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure and operations set up in Mexico, on that side of the border, and are telling those illegal immigrants to come to them, and they will get them across the border,” Noem said on Fox…
Activists from “Just Stop Oil” were arrested after they disrupted a performance on Monday of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” featuring actress Sigourney Weaver. Environmentalist activists climbed onto the stage at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, launching a confetti cannon as a voice declared, “We’ll have to stop the show, ladies and gents, sorry.” Members of the audience booed the activists as a member of the theater’s staff escorted Weaver off the stage. The activists carried an orange banner warning “Over 1.5 degrees is a global shipwreck,” a likely nod to the play itself, where a shipwreck leaves the characters stranded on…
Maye Musk, mother of tech billionaire Elon Musk, is urging her son to sue CNN and other news outlets for peddling the “Nazi salute” narrative against him. At President Donald Trump’s inauguration rally, Musk went viral over a gesture he made to the crowd the media widely linked to Adolf Hitler. “That salute was evocative of things we’ve seen through history,” CNN’s Kasie Hunt reacted last week. “It’s not something you typically see at American political rallies.” During a panel discussion on Monday night, CNN commentator Catherine Rampell accused Musk of making two “Sieg Heil” salutes, prompting her conservative colleague…
