Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal Admits to Working with Foreign Countries to Aid Cuba in Defiance of President Trump.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is proudly admitting to working with foreign countries to aid Cuba in defiance of President Trump’s policies.

In April,  Jayapal and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) spent five days in Cuba. During the congressional delegation visit, the two met with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, and members of the Cuban Parliament.

She recently shared, “In January, Trump issued an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying fuel to Cuba. This was this January, just a few months ago.”

“And oil shipments from Venezuela, that’s where Cuba had been getting its oil, were halted after the US operations to kidnap Nicolás Maduro. Since January, only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba. In fact, it landed just a couple of days before I landed.”

“And one tanker has enough oil basically for 10 to 14 days of Cuba’s oil needs. So it’s a very limited amount of time. Now, Russia has said they’re going to send another tanker.”

“I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there. But it is a crisis beyond imagination.”

“Just this past Friday, on May 1st, Trump signed a broad executive order that widens sanctions and allows for new penalties similar to what we have for Iran and Russia against foreign banks and firms that are dealing with Cuba.”

“And it also reinforces the ban on U.S. tourism. I have called these sanctions an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba. It is illegal. It is against the war.”

“We’ve been talking about this in Iran, obviously, to bomb the infrastructure of any country. That is against international law. This is essentially doing the same thing. It is bombing the infrastructure of Cuba with economic sanctions that essentially ensure that the infrastructure collapses.”

Democrat Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger Responds to FBI Raid on Office of Ally State Senate Pro Tem L. Louise Lucas

Democrat Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger on Wednesday afternoon responded to the FBI raid on her friend and ally L Louise Lucas.

The FBI on Wednesday raided the office of Virginia’s Democrat Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas in connection to a major corruption probe, Fox News reported.

Federal agents served multiple search warrants, approved by a federal judge, at Lucas’ office and the cannabis dispensary next door, Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported.

Lucas is a close ally of Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger.

Fox News reported that Lucas showed up on the scene as the FBI raided her office.

Fox News and The New York Times are reporting that the corruption probe into Lucas was opened by the FBI during the Biden Administration.

Federal officers raided the cannabis dispensary with their weapons drawn.

Three people from the cannabis dispensary were taken into custody.

Jon Ossoff silent on SPLC indictment after taking more than $700K from affiliate of indicted group

Federal prosecutors’ stunning indictment of a left-wing activist group for alleged financial crimes is reverberating in Georgia’s 2026 Senate race, with Republicans targeting Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., for his past ties to the organization. 

The Department of Justice brought criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center in April for allegedly defrauding its donors by secretly transferring money to extremist groups with the goal of infiltrating and monitoring their activities. 

Ossoff, the most vulnerable Senate Democrat running for re-election in 2026, is endorsed by the law center’s 501(c)(4) arm. The group contributed more than $700,000 to his campaign account in 2020, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

The Georgia Democrat has also praised the group’s purported efforts to combat racism.

“Thank you for decades of work defending civil rights in the United States,” Ossoff said in a video celebrating the nonprofit group’s 50th anniversary in November 2021.

“I’m deeply concerned, like many of you, by the rising level of polarization, hatred and mistrust in our society,” he added. “We must recommit to the path of love, tolerance and peaceful coexistence if we are to flourish as a nation and as a world.”

During that time, federal prosecutors allege that instead of combating extremism, the SPLC was providing financial support to organizations that spread it.

Between 2014 and 2023, the Alabama-based organization paid more than $3 million to informants belonging to the United Klans of America, the Aryan Nation and other neo-Nazi groups, according to the 11-count indictment, which included charges of bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering. The group allegedly concealed the payments by setting up bank accounts under fictitious names and did not inform federal law enforcement about their activities.

Wisconsin attorney general suggests blue haired non-binary ‘time-traveling pleasure activist’ can teach state staff about ‘microaggressions’

Wisconsin‘s woke Attorney General has encouraged staff members to read a book co-written by a self-described ‘non-binary mystic and pleasure activist.’

The book ‘Subtle Acts of Exclusion,’ co-written by Dr Tiffany Jana and Dr Michael Baran, was included in the curriculum for ‘Associate Culture Staff’ Training under Attorney General Josh Kaul’s 2023 Equity and Inclusion Plan, which remains in effect through December, the Heartland Post reports.

It aims to address ‘insidious and damaging’ actions in the workplace, including microaggressions and unfounded assumptions.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice will now ‘maintain a monitoring and reporting system to ensure the overall compliance with the equity and inclusion mandates,’ Kaul wrote in the Equity and Inclusion Commitment Letter. 

‘We expect each DOJ employee to be an active participant in the implementation of this program and be accountable for complying with the objectives of this Equity and Inclusion Plan,’ he wrote when the plan was first being published.

The plan ‘reflects the principles of the department and it places into action our intent to be a better and stronger organization, one that is truly diverse, inclusive and applies principles of equity so all members of the DOJ community can experience a sense of belonging,’ it says.

But the inclusion of Jana’s book has sparked backlash, as it was revealed she sells $600 an hour ‘solo time travel sessions’ and offers $75 an hour ‘tarot/oracle readings.’

‘My mission is to empower and liberate minds, hearts and bodies through joy, love, knowledge and spiritual wisdom,’ she writes on her site.

Connecticut Dem Says ICE Is Jim Crow. DHS Replies With List of Illegal Alien Thugs

After the Democrat governor of Connecticut compared immigration enforcement to Jim Crow oppression — ironic considering Jim Crow was the Democrats’ regime — the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) replied with a disquieting list of illegal alien criminals arrested in Connecticut.

CT Mirror celebrated a gubernatorial bill signing May 4, claiming it would require federal agents to display their names or badge numbers — facilitating the already out-of-control doxxing against ICE — persecute ICE for defending themselves with lethal force, and prevent arrests at schools and churches. It appears that Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont might have made his disgusting accusations at his bill signing, when he claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are “brutal,” criticized Trump for referring to criminal illegal aliens as “criminal aliens,” and compared immigration enforcement to the historical Know-Nothing party, anti-Catholic laws, and “Jim Crow laws.” “Never before…has it been led by the White House,” he pontificated, ignoring the numerous Democrat presidents who explicitly aligned themselves with the KKK and political violence.

DHS was quick to respond to Lamont’s propaganda with a list of the despicable illegal alien criminals who were living in — and quite possibly receiving taxpayer-funded benefits in — Connecticut before ICE arrested them. The aliens’ crimes include murder, pedophilic sexual assault, and child abuse.

WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Can’t Prove They’re Citizens

Not a single Democrat in the Senate is willing to support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, and a new op-ed from The Washington Post might just explain why.

The SAVE America Act would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The current “safeguard” preventing noncitizens from registering to vote and voting is a tiny square box on the federal registration form asking applicants to attest they are telling the truth about their citizenship status. In other words, the honor system.

The legislation passed the House (with a single Democrat voting alongside Republicans) but has stalled in the Republican controlled Senate, with a few RINOs and the entire Democrat apparatus opposing the election integrity legislation.

But perhaps Democrats are opposed to the common sense election integrity measure because the legislation would endanger New Mexico and turn the battleground of Nevada into a solid Republican state, according to analysis from Yale Law School Professor Ian Ayres and Yale research fellow Jacob Slaughter.

The two explain in their op-ed that they estimate at the national level, “89 percent of Democrats and 90 percent of Republicans hold qualifying citizenship documents, a difference that is not statistically significant.”

That seemingly meaningless 1 percent difference, however, would actually be state-flipping, according to Ayres and Slaughter.

“But because the composition of the electorate varies across states, national parity masks meaningful state-level variation — and what we find, looking state by state, is that the bill may significantly advantage Republicans in a few key ones.”

Ayres and Slaughter estimate that Democrats are 13 percentage points “less likely than Republicans to hold qualifying registration documents” in New Mexico. And while Ayres and Slaughter estimate the passage of the SAVE America Act would only have “modest” consequences for the midterms because those currently registered to vote would be “unaffected,” “as more people would need to register after moving, changing their names or reaching voting age, this document shortfall could flip New Mexico to an electorate where Republicans have a 3.3-percentage-point advantage.”

Ayres and Slaughter see the GOP having a similar advantage in the battleground state of Nevada. Their research shows that Democrats are 5.3 percentage points less likely than Republicans to have the required documents, and they project that passage of the legislation “would push [Nevada] from battleground to comfortably Republican.”

“Nationally, the overall effect leans Republican: Eight of 15 swing states show rightward shifts, and the only statistically significant results favor Republicans,” Ayres and Slaughter wrote.

Staffer for Dem Sen. Cory Booker Who Brought Gun Into Capitol Without a License Saw Charges Quickly Dropped: DOJ

A staffer for Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, who was arrested last year for bringing a pistol into the Capitol without a license, saw the charges quickly dropped and walked away from the incident without further consequence, despite lingering questions.

This is quite a surprise, especially given how radical the Democratic Party is about gun regulations, the Second Amendment, and gun-free zones.

In an article published last week, Politico reported the Justice Department recently discovered that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia chose not to prosecute Kevin Batts in April 2025, about two weeks after his arrest.

Timothy Lauer, a spokesperson for Booker’s office, said in a statement that Batts didn’t face criminal charges because he had an active New Jersey retired law enforcement carry permit.

Batts is a retired Newark police detective and reportedly serves as a special assistant and driver for Booker.

This is strange, however, because at the time of Batts’ arrest, the U.S. Capitol Police said, “All weapons are prohibited from Capitol Grounds, even if you are a retired law enforcement officer, or have a permit to carry in another state or the District of Columbia.”

How did Batts get away with this? If an average citizen bought a pistol onto Capitol grounds, they’d likely be facing a judge and jury, or would be pressured into taking a plea deal, even if they, too, were a retried police officer.

A Capitol Police spokesperson said that the department “arrested Mr. Batts on March 31, 2025, for Carrying a Pistol Without a License (Outside Home or Place of Business), Unlawful Activities, Possession of Unregistered Firearm, and Possession of Unregistered Ammunition.”

When the U.S. Attorney’s office was questioned by Politico about the last three charges, it referred the outlet to its previous statement about Batt’s carry permit.

Batts even received $6,000 from donors for a legal defense fund, according to filings that were examined by Politico.

He received two contributions. One was reportedly for $5,000 from Elizabeth Naftali of Studio City, California, and $1,000 from Patrick Dunican Jr., of Ridgewood, New Jersey.

Naftali, a big Democratic Party donor, had contributed to Booker’s past campaigns. In a sickening and almost laughable twist, she also purchased artwork from Hunter Biden, the former president’s son who has been at the center of controversy for years.

The worst part of the story is the double standard, though. While Batts was allowed to slide, another staffer who had a similar issue back in 2021 didn’t get off so easily.

Capitol Police initially failed to catch a loaded Glock 9mm handgun when it passed through an X-ray screening machine at the Longworth House Office Building.

Jeffrey Allsbrooks, who said he “forgot the gun was in his bag,” proceeded to walk through security and was gone before they realized he might be armed. The building was put on lockdown until he was found.

Allsbrooks, who worked for the non-partisan House Chief Administrative Office, had a concealed carry permit in nearby Virginia, but was not licensed to carry in D.C. He was questioned and transported to Capitol Police headquarters, according to Roll Call.

He was processed, moved to a central cell block, and originally faced four charges: possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm; possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

FBI Investigates Tennessee Democrat Rep. for Allegedly Operating Fraudulent PAC That Scammed Donors on Behalf of Kamala Harris

A Democrat lawmaker in Tennessee is now under federal investigation in what could become yet another explosive scandal tied to the political fundraising machine of the Left.

According to new reporting, Tennessee State Rep. Torrey Harris (D-Memphis) is being probed by the FBI over allegations involving a potentially fraudulent political action committee (PAC).

The PAC, called WIN TENNESSEE PAC, with Harris serving as treasurer, was promoted aggressively on Harris’s own Facebook page during Kamala’s disastrous 2024 presidential bid, according to Nashville Banner.

The now-defunct website promised donors their money would fund trips to battleground states like North Carolina and Georgia, statewide advertising, and weekly organizing calls. It even claimed physical offices in Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville.

None of it was real.

The website used a fake phone number (123) 456-7890, listed nonexistent field offices, and directed donations to a P.O. Box (later changed to a UPS Store address in Nashville).

A tiny disclaimer buried on the site admitted the PAC was not affiliated with Kamala Harris’s campaign, but that didn’t stop Harris from using her name to solicit cash from unsuspecting donors.

According to a bombshell report from the Nashville Banner citing multiple sources inside Tennessee Democrat politics, the FBI began asking questions about the PAC early in 2026. The probe also reportedly includes Harris’s mysterious personal business ventures.

The PAC never filed required FEC reports on time. It received three separate delinquency letters from the Federal Election Commission between October 2024 and January 2025. Only after the federal investigation was underway did Harris reportedly file, in late March 2026.

Eric Swalwell says his ‘friends’ in Congress — Raskin, Schiff, Jeffries — were as bad as he was

After Rep. Eric Swalwell’s political self-immolation as a sex harasser, I had hoped that he’d go hide under some rock and not be seen nor heard from any more.

Wishful thinking.

The New York Times reported that he’s still harrassing the interns.

But it seems more significant that with no one wanting to know him anymore, he’s decided to take a few of his former “friends” down with him.

Shouldn’t this be investigated? Shouldn’t Sen. Adam Schiff be in the witness chair in congressional hearings telling us which women he harassed, and any records of payouts to sex-harassment victims with non-disclosure agreements be revealed? Shouldn’t Raskin? Shouldn’t Jeffries? 

And Swalwell should be invited back to Congress by congressional leaders with a red carpet to tell all he knows.

Notice that the named culprits are all, like Swalwell, considered attack dogs for the Democrats, meaning, their leadership tolerates their sex harassment so long as they bark on cue. Maybe we could hear a little about that, too.

Ilhan Omar Faces Potential Legal Trouble After Ignoring Fraud Committee Deadline

Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing fresh scrutiny in Minnesota after a state House oversight committee said she has not complied with a document request tied to the sprawling “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal.

State Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, has been pressing Omar’s office for records and answers related to the congresswoman’s contacts, public messaging and potential connections to individuals linked to the case. Robbins has argued the committee’s deadline has come and gone without the response she says lawmakers requested.

Omar, a Democrat who represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, has been under pressure for weeks after Robbins accused her of “ghosting” the panel and declining to appear at a state hearing.

Robbins and other Republicans say the committee’s interest centers on Omar’s work around pandemic-era federal nutrition policy and how it intersected with the program that prosecutors say was exploited in one of the largest COVID-era fraud schemes in the country.

The Feeding Our Future case has drawn national attention after federal prosecutors alleged that hundreds of millions of dollars meant for child nutrition were siphoned off through fake meal counts, inflated invoices and coordinated paperwork. While Omar has not been charged in the case, Republicans have pointed to what they describe as unanswered questions and communications they want reviewed.
