‘It’s become routine this Congress, but it’s not new. We all remember what Democrats did to Justice Kavanaugh,’ Sen. @ChuckGrassley said. @BethBrelje @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2025/07/18/emi…
Starting with the “high-tech” lynching of Justice Thomas and escalating with the racist filibuster of Miguel Estrada, Senate Democrats have lodged cruel and baseless attacks to smear qualified and capable nominees simply because they won’t further a leftist ideological agenda.

When Republicans were in the Senate minority, they voted to confirm many of Pres. Biden's and Obama's judicial nominees, because they did their job to advise and consent. Democrats just oppose any nominee of Trump. Their opposition to every nominee, means their opposition to…
Senate Democrats oppose or support judicial nominees not on qualifications but on which party nominates them. More proof today when Senate Democrats refused to support the highly qualified and noncontroversial Whitney Hermandorfer.
🚨 ⚖️ Big Win in Michigan. Michigan Supreme Court reverses lower courts and says that political parties have standing to challenge cities that refuse to hire balanced election inspectors.
Another major win for election integrity! The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the RNC has standing to sue the Board of Election Commissioners in Flint, Michigan, for failing to hire enough Republican poll workers. The RNC will keep fighting for honest elections.

As if we needed any more proof of the political weaponization in the Biden/Garland DOJ: Dan Freeman, a former career voting rights attorney at the DOJ, is now the litigation director at the DNC. That makes sense, given the Biden DOJ operated as an arm of the Democrat Party.
In the #txlege proclamation, Abbott references a DOJ letter about "constitutional concerns" related to certain congressional districts -- TX 9, 18, 29, 33. Here's the letter: "It is the position of this Department that several Texas Congressional Districts constitute…
New: Flood response, THC regulation, Congressional redistricting on the 89(1) call from @GregAbbott_TX. #txlege
"Commissioner Trainor's decision to stay at the @FEC is good news. Now we need three new Commissioners to restore the quorum and restore a functional FEC." - Former FEC Chair and @TheRepLawyer Chairman Lee Goodman
