Nancy Pelosi took advantage of the 5 Republicans in coronavirus self-quarantine to push a partisan Christmas list chocked full of far-left goodies for unions, green groups, and other liberal allies. Republicans are rightly calling Dems out on this. 1/ pjmedia.com/trending/despi…
.@senatemajldr slammed Democrats for deciding their "eleventh-hour demands" are "more important than Americans’ paychecks and the personal safety of doctors and nurses." 2/ pjmedia.com/trending/dems-…
"Don’t treat this bill like a partisan Christmas list," @tedcruz declared. "What the hell do the emissions standards on airplanes have to do with thousands of people dying and millions of people out of work in the coronavirus epidemic?!" 3/ pjmedia.com/trending/dems-…
"We've got families that are suffering," @BenSasse declared. "We've got small businesses ... closing. We have doctors fighting to prevent their hospitals from being overwhelmed. And what does Speaker Pelosi try to do? She's trying to take hostages about her dream legislation. 4/
"Families & businesses need help now to survive the China virus pandemic," @SenTomCotton declared. "But @SpeakerPelosi walked away from negotiations to write her own bill, full of absurd provisions completely unrelated to the crisis at hand." 5/ pjmedia.com/trending/dems-…
"Democrats can’t claim to be the party of workers when they advocate for policies that make businesses fail. Businesses employ workers. You can’t have one without the other," @DanCrenshawTX warned. 6/ pjmedia.com/trending/dems-…
My favorite quote comes from @SteveScalise: "Throw this bill in the trash that Pelosi filed and get back to work for the American people that are literally facing losing everything if this game goes on longer." Amen! 7/7 pjmedia.com/trending/dems-…
One more thing: Trump wants to #ReopenAmerica by Easter, a great goal and a good thing to hope for, but we obviously need to see how far along our health care response to coronavirus is before making that decision. pjmedia.com/trending/great…

Like USAID, NED once advanced US interests abroad, but has become a weapon to enforce woke ideology. In recent years, NED board members compared Trump to Hitler and NED funded the Global Disinformation Index, which targeted conservative news outlets.

“Have we learned nothing from the exposure of USAID over the past six months?” Crane asked me. “The National Endowment for Democracy is a government-backed NGO that has supported censorship programs, regime change politics, and fueled anti-American agendas abroad.”
Holder was notorious for weaponizing DOJ under Obama: pushing CRT, dropping the Black Panthers election intimidation case, withholding docs from Congress.
Holder more or less mainstreamed the idea that voter ID laws are discriminatory, by suing Texas over a voter ID law. The DOJ ultimately settled the case, admitting no "discriminatory effect or intent."
🧵2/8
Holder claimed that policies with "the appearance of being race-neutral" nonetheless "disproportionately disenfranchise African-Americans, Hispanics, other communities of color and vulnerable populations such as the elderly.”
@capitalresearch's Scott Walter presented to @JudiciaryGOP last week, and it inspired me to do some digging.
A @DailySignal analysis found that the feds awarded (under Biden) $1.7B to groups suing the Trump admin—in its first month!

“Your tax dollars provide critical support for the web of woke groups trying to transform America,” Walter said. “It’s shameless to use your tax dollars to sue your government for even more of your tax dollars. But being woke means never having to say you’re sorry!”

1⃣The Brazilian Worker Center
Sued Trump to block the birthright citizenship executive order.
The Labor Department awarded it $775K for construction job training.
The Senate refused to re-confirm Jeffrey Baran for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2023, but taxpayers ended up on the hook, anyway.
How?🤔
Here's the story.
🧵1/6
President Biden re-nominated Baran, who had served on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission since 2014, but a pro-nuclear group raised serious concerns about Baran's opposition to policies that enabled nuclear energy.
His renomination bid failed in the Senate.
🧵2/6
No matter. He'd just "burrow in," taking an ostensibly "nonpolitical" role in the federal bureaucracy.
He joined the Department of Energy as deputy asst. sec. for waste & minerals management. Got a pay bump, too.
Since my original report, which notes her op-ed claiming that Trump—her current boss—is "unfit to hold office," I learned two crucial things: Goldstein's political donations & what she did w/Harris.
The SPLC admitted having an account in a foreign country, the Cayman Islands.
The SPLC also listed $30M in offshore accounts in "Central America and the Caribbean."
This may actually be a decrease from $92.6M in "non-U.S. equities" SPLC reported in 2017.👀
🧵2/8
"It's very odd and frankly raises suspicion that a nonprofit organization would have accounts in places like the Cayman Islands, or as they reported $30 million in Central America," @libertycounsel's @MatStaver told me.
