NEW and EXCLUSIVE— President @realDonaldTrump told me and @Gilbertson_DC in the Oval Office how he came up with “DUMOCRATS” to describe Democrats. He also warned of dangers of socialism and communism. TRUMP: “Go back 1,000 years, different names, but the concept of give away everything ends up in squalor, crime, and death. It always ends up the same way.” Much, much more in the story on @BreitbartNews :

Ok so this just got very explosive. A Kamala campaign staffer who saw these posts called me just now and said there is a massive scandal here worthy of an audit. The $20 million debt thing is real. Rob Flaherty, this staffer said, is currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back. This includes other campaigns and outside groups. Flaherty is the deputy campaign manager and reports to Jen O’Malley Dillon. “Jen blew through a billion dollars in a few months and it was all Jen’s idea to do all the concerts.” — Kamala campaign adviser told me This source added that O’Malley Dillon did these “concerts,” like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen et cetera at the expense of “prioritizing and spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.” Apparently a group in Georgia had to lay off 100 people because they couldn’t pay them. It’s unclear at this time if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was “immense.” What’s more, this Kamala campaign staffer said several people who were working for the Kamala Harris for President campaign are still awaiting several overdue payments they were promised for their work. IE, they didn’t pay the staff. This Kamala campaign staffer said to me of @jomalleydillon : “People didn’t like working with her. Many people on the campaign felt like we lost because Kamala wasn’t allowed to run her campaign. They were running Joe Biden’s campaign instead of a Kamala campaign. Obnoxious and very much a gate keeper and interfering with the vice president’s people who were trying to do their job.”

Having gone through this exact set of issues with @SpeakerJohnson multiple times before here’s how this movie goes @elonmusk First he will lie to you and say he will fight the actual fight NEXT TIME Then he will claim he agrees with the concerns conservatives are raising and the issues are real and he totally understands Then he will text or call you and try to “talk it through” or “explain” things But he will always do what the swamp wants when push comes to shove We went through this with spending fights with him twice already (spring and again in the fall and now here we are again) We went through this with with FISA in the spring We went through this with Ukraine aid in the summer Isn’t it the opposite of the very definition of efficiency to keep doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result? At a certain point, Mike Johnson remaining Speaker of the House is in and of itself at odds with the stated purpose of the Department of Government Efficiency @doge So eventually we hit a breaking point where he has to go — the easiest time to do it leverage wise would be at the regularly scheduled speakership election on Jan. 3 because you don’t need to first go through a motion to vacate. The new Congress begins with a vacant chair! So just start fresh!

UPDATE: a source at State Department tells me the federal workers there are totally melting down after @secrubio ordered an end to remote work and ordered all employees back to work in person

EXCLUSIVE -- @marcorubio has now ordered ALL STATE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES who had government travel/official conference appearances scheduled to go through a REVIEW and REAPPROVAL process to ensure that any official actions align with @realDonaldTrump admin agenda/priorities

BREAKING: @OpenAI Sam Altman is ditching @realDonaldTrump to instead host San Francisco fundraiser for Democrat Sen. Mark Warner. Involved in it are a constellation of leftist anti-Trump radicals. @elonmusk totally saw this one coming regarding Altman.

I’ve heard from many, many, many sources with direct knowledge that Kamala’s internal polling has her crashing badly. Much like Biden’s were in the lead-up to (and especially aftermath of) the debate. She’s in trouble and she knows it.

Anyone who tries to argue that Kash Patel is not qualified for FBI director role is wrong. He served as a top attorney for House Intelligence Committee, then led counterterrorism efforts for the White House in the first Trump term. He is the definition of qualified for the job.

BREAKING: @MarshaBlackburn just called me after Senate GOP leadership candidate forum and said she is supporting @SenRickScott for Senate GOP leader. story TK on @BreitbartNews

Seriously, John Cornyn should NOT have flown back to Texas this weekend. The Senate was in session for the weekend as Leader Thune made clear. Total misstep by Cornyn doing that. He wanted to be a U.S. senator that means you stay when the Senate is in session and you do your job

As an addendum to this, I’ll add that I was more than willing to give Johnson a chance and frankly I did. I’ve interviewed him. I’ve talked to him both on and off record plenty of times. I’ve tried repeatedly to work with his team, including as recently as a few weeks ago. We’ve given him his chance. The evidence that’s public is damning. What isn’t public is worse.

I’m inside the Kennedy Center right now for the @charliekirk11 vigil — I came in with the public not the media because seriously screw the establishment media I don’t want to be around them right now I want to be with the patriots in the crowd. This place is absolutely packed and there was a massive massive line behind me too. This place will likely be at or over capacity tonight. Absolutely incredible

Exit polling suggests GOP has flipped the Guam legislature for the first time in nearly 2 decades.

Am told that Bruesewitz’s meetings on the Hill have focused in large part on how Trump's successful return to the White House was achieved by largely bypassing traditional media outlets, thereby diminishing their influence. He argued that if Republican Senators were to yield to pressure from negative media coverage when making decisions about cabinet appointments, they would inadvertently be handing the media back its power. This perspective was reportedly well-received among the senators, per aides present at these meetings. This is a growing theme among Republicans: the establishment media are useless.

This speech is a complete dud. The idea of Kamala Harris just crashed into the reality of Kamala Harris. Just like her failed 2020 campaign.

RFK speech endorsing Trump is absolutely disastrous for Democrats. This is a massive moment.

There needs to be an AUDIT of the Kamala campaign finances top to bottom — donors and supporters of hers must be furious. Where did the money go?

Maybe just maybe @JDVance was right about “childless cat ladies”

NEW: Several senate sources have told me last night and this morning that @PeteHegseth has really, really turned a corner past few days and now they expect him to win confirmation in the chamber. This all comes as @SenJoniErnst signaled she supports advancing the nomination to a confirmation hearing which she said last night she believes should happen. And as many other senators like Mike Rounds and Kevin Cramer have signaled they support moving forward Hegseth is showing he’s winning over people who have criticized him. It is basically impossible to see a change happening after a confirmation hearing (which would presumably happen in early to mid-January) because SecDef is usually one of if not the first confirmation votes that happens right after inauguration literally on Jan. 20. So Pete seems to be out of the woods now, and momentum is on his side — especially as Trump himself and @JDVance among others all triple down publicly in support of his nomination.

I think it’s about time for @JohnFetterman & @JoshShapiroPA to intervene and call on their fellow Democrat Bob Casey to concede to Republican David McCormick. Casey lost, fair and square, but he’s engaged in election denialism right now by not conceding.

EXCLUSIVE -- @michaelgwaltz , the incoming National Security Adviser for @realDonaldTrump , told me in an exclusive interview that ALL DETAILEES from the intelligence agencies and departments currently at NSC under outgoing POTUS Biden are being removed as soon as Trump takes office WALTZ: "We’re taking resignations at 12:01 and we’re going to put the president’s team in place." The NSC is critical for implementing a president's national security agenda. NSC is led by the National Security Adviser and some other political appointees in the White House. Underneath them, there are "detailees" from various agencies and departments across the government in the intelligence, military, and law enforcement space. Detailees are career officials from the agencies sent to the NSC to serve as a conduit with the White House and to help execute the president's decisions by coordinating across the vast apparatus of the federal government. There had been some reports floating around that Waltz might not clean out all the detailees there under Biden and bring in fresh ones loyal to Trump right away. He cleared that up real fast in this @BreitbartNews exclusive. That being said, the concerns with this space are real given that ALEX VINDMAN (the impeachment player in Trump Term 1) was an NSC detailee. WALTZ: "If anybody out there thinks I’m somehow now going to have a platoon full of Never Trumpers they’re full of it." More WALTZ: "The folks that we’re bringing in are 100 percent aligned with the president’s agenda." MORE: "We’re getting strong people in place that are completely aligned with his policy. We know who we want to pull in from the agencies to fill that out in terms of detailees." (link in reply)

NEW and EXCLUSIVE -- @SecScottBessent told me at @USTreasury tonight that entire @realDonaldTrump administration is working "all hands on deck" from "all areas of government" to bring down inflation and prices @elonmusk he said is cutting the wasteful government over-spending He mentioned @SecRollins efforts to bring down egg prices He said @SecretaryBurgum & @SecretaryWright are working to unleash American energy BESSENT told me BIDEN left a mess for TRUMP: "We inherited an affordability crisis." BUT BUT BUT... BESSENT said TRUMP is already showing signs of beginning to pull the USA out of the Biden death spiral BESSENT: "On inflation, we are seeing some nascent signs, I’d say. Crude oil is down about 15 percent since President Trump took office. That’s something we’re focused on. Mortgage rates have come down every week since he’s been in office." This came in response to me asking the secretary about better-than-expected CPI and PPI numbers this week. BESSENT also told me the establishment media is far more inaccurate and worse than he ever imagined. BESSENT: "When I was on the other side of the wall, I never really liked the term ‘fake news.’ Now that I am on the inside, and I can see what they’re reporting, I think the term ‘fake news’ probably isn’t strong enough. It’s really not."

This is literally the only plausible explanation for why they’re freaking out. I keep asking myself the same question of why they oppose DOGE so vehemently, and it’s the only thing I can come up with.

This is a breaking news alert the Washington Post just emailed out — “without evidence?” How about this for evidence: Zelensky was elected in 2019 to a term that was supposed to end in May 2024. He suspended elections, which were supposed to happen last spring in March/April.

Vivek definitely DOGED a bullet when he and Elon broke up early

Sources familiar with Maine politics telling me the presidential statewide and the Senate race are tightening very quickly. Massive influx of cash from all sides pouring into the state. Dem panic underway. If Trump has a shot statewide in Maine, Harris is in very big trouble.

NEW: Trump advisor, Alex Bruesewitz — @alexbruesewitz — who is also a longtime close friend of Charlie Kirk, to make surprise speaking appearance at the sold out Rutherford County GOP’s Lincoln Reagan dinner tonight in North Carolina. Sources familiar say he is showing up because “he wants to prove that the assassins bullet will not silence our movement.”

NEW: I’ve reached out directly to @JoshShapiroPA himself to ask him why he has not yet accepted the results of the Pennsylvania Senate election. Shapiro has been silent even after the AP has called the race for Senator-elect David McCormick. I asked the governor why he’s silent, and whether anyone including outgoing Sen. Bob Casey or his staff or other Democrats have pressured him to stay quiet and whether he is considering using millions of taxpayer dollars for a recount unlikely to change the result. As expected, Gov. Shapiro has not responded to my request for comment.

NEW: President Trump told me and @AlexMarlow that after he wins on Nov. 5 and before the inauguration on Jan. 20 he will negotiate a lasting peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine: breitbart.com/politics/2024/…

EXCLUSIVE— @DNIGabbard has already identified more than $20 million in annual taxpayer savings at @ODNIgov by following @realDonaldTrump order to eliminate DEI; and by eliminating travel by staff to non-essential conferences. More here at @BreitbartNews breitbart.com/politics/2025/…

NEW: The Des Moines Register highlights growing “backlash” in Iowa among Republicans and Trump supporters against @SenJoniErnst for not yet endorsing confirmation of @PeteHegseth The piece quotes @BrennaBird oped in @BreitbartNews on this too.

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump is expected to briefly tour a new Boeing plane to checkout the new hardware/technology, which will also highlight Boeing’s ineptitude and failure to deliver a new Air Force 1 on time as promised, sources familiar just told me.

Look, I get the desire to look like you’re fighting for the best bill there can be, but at a certain point long ago the Freedom Caucus guys have crossed a line where they no longer help the cause they purport to support. This is simply ridiculous at this stage.

UPDATE: Walmart spokeswoman Lauren Willis is refusing to answer if Doug McMillon (the company’s CEO) thinks violence is acceptable as a form of protest, and whether he thinks murderers and rapists should be deported from America. McMillon’s refusal to answer these basic questions, per Willis, is extremely revealing.

Oh, by the way, Kash started his career out as a PUBLIC DEFENDER. Have we ever had an FBI director who’s done that before? That’s super cool and a sign he deeply understands the possibly disastrous effects of the heavy hand of government

EPA’s Lee Zeldin is proving every day why he has earned the name “The Legend of Zeldin.” Just nonstop shredding of the leftist agenda and saving taxpayers billions of dollars. Every Cabinet Secretary should be following his lead. The way he’s doing this is remarkable.

EXCLUSIVE— @CIADirector John Ratcliffe absolutely ripped Democrats in a closed-door Senate briefing today on Iran attacks, I’m told. Per a source in the room who heard him say it, when Democrats tried to question effectiveness of President Trump’s airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear program, Ratcliffe fired back at them: “You know how you know the strikes were devastatingly effective? Iran has been fighting Israel for decades. They strung along the Obama administration for 20 months while negotiating the JCPOA. But Trump made them accept a ceasefire with their mortal enemy in 20 minutes.” Pretty incredible moment, so I’m told. Obama’s Iran deal was a massive failure and took 20 months to negotiate. Trump’s airstrikes were a massive success and forced a ceasefire within 20 minutes.

NEW: Given that Walmart fortune heiress Christy Walton is funding lots of radical leftist anti-Trump protests, we have offered Walmart CEO Doug McMillon the opportunity to condemn the violence we are seeing in LA. Unsurprisingly, he has not chosen to condemn the violence.

I just told a Comcast staffer I want to interview the CEO of Comcast (which owns MSNBC) today and ask whether Comcast will tolerate its employees calling any Republicans and conservatives “Nazis” ever again. We’ll see if that interview materializes.

We must not let @charliekirk11 die in vain. His mission is now all of our mission.

I’ve never seen anybody get in Obama’s head in the many years I’ve covered him as much as Trump has. Trump lives inside his head rent free. It’s obvious how obsessed Obama is with Trump as evidenced by this speech. He’s genuinely rattled by Trump.

You sir are the world’s biggest hypocrite. On behalf of Joe Biden, you and the WHCA blocked access to outlets Biden didn’t want covering the White House like Breitbart News—and you still do not allow us access into the pool coverage. The WHCA is a corrupt and decrepit organization that does NOT represent a free press.

Remember before election when @KDORR_USA was flagging the very strange financial activities and check writing of the Kamala Harris campaign? Turns out Kamala went broke in the final days. That’s why. Kaelan nailed it.

Exclusive -- @realDonaldTrump told me today he is excited that Ameer Ghalib, the Democrat mayor of majority-Muslim Hamtramck MI, has endorsed his campaign. Trump said when he was president, Ghalib "saw a world that was at peace" breitbart.com/politics/2024/…

I’m hearing Kamala has now formally caved to Trump on ABC debate rules— same rules as CNN debate re microphones. They’ll coin toss today for podium position and closing statement order. Another sign Kamala doesn’t have the energy media/Dems claim she does.

Seriously at what point are the entire national establishment media total jokes? The Washington Post, New York Times, NBC, ABC, CBS, AP all RELENTLESSLY ATTACKED Trump for YEARS — and it turns out now it’s JOE BIDEN WHO LIED TO AMERICA AND PARDONED HIS CRIMINAL SON. We need serious reform to the way the news media operate. Like structural top down systemic changes. It’s sad because as a journalist I believe in the mission of journalism, but these places cannot legitimately do the job without major changes. @JeffBezos I stand ready to help you fix the Washington Post if you ever want it to be a real newspaper again. @elonmusk if you buy MSNBC or CNN I similarly stand ready to help you fix them. I stand ready to do same with any major media outlet out there. None of them seem to want to actually change or learn the lessons of the mistakes they’ve made over a decade plus. With the proper structural shifts and changes, the news media could enter a truly golden age of American journalism and thrive as there has never been a better time — or a greater need — for actual journalism and storytelling to capture these seismic changes and moments happening in America and around the world. Sadly, these institutions are digging in even further as evidenced by the way they’re handling the Hunter Biden pardon scandal and as evidenced by the way they’re handling Trump’s cabinet picks. Great things are truly possible. Yet, these folks seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. #MakeTheNewsGreatAgain

EXCLUSIVE for @BreitbartNews Several top officials at Mountain Home VA facility in Tennessee have resigned after investigators discovered widespread sexual depravity happening there under Biden Administration One guy slept with — wait for it — a whopping 32 women he worked with there. That’s not a typo — THIRTY TWO. In addition, there was an ORGY that included at least a dozen people who worked at the VA hospital. It’s unclear if the orgy happened on VA grounds or off site. A senior congressional aide familiar with the facts of the investigation told me: “The fact that the culture would even allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild and it all starts at the top.” CC @elonmusk @DOGE @VivekGRamaswamy

More here: breitbart.com/2024-election/…

I don’t see how @SenJohnThune lets her keep chairing DOGE caucus if she doesn’t vote for Hegseth and make it clear soon that she will do so. Would imagine that @elonmusk would have some thoughts here because he’s very focused on getting Hegseth confirmed as well.

EXCLUSIVE -- America First movement leaders are throwing down the gauntlet hard in support of @ElbridgeColby nomination for top spot at Pentagon @DonaldJTrumpJr told me: "The DC swamp fears Bridge because they know he’s 100% loyal to my father’s America First foreign policy agenda at the Defense Department. The entire MAGA movement will be watching this vote very closely." FOUR U.S. Senators -- @Jim_Banks @Eric_Schmitt @TimSheehyMT & @berniemoreno all also on record defending Bridge Colby from critics ALSO -- @cliffsims says: "Anyone opposing Bridge is telling their constituents that they’re repudiating President Trump’s entire America First foreign policy agenda. That’s how well suited he is to help formulate the President’s defense policy and how important it is for him to be confirmed without delay.” As I write in the piece for @BreitbartNews, this major MAGA firepower for Colby's confirmation shows how fired up President @realDonaldTrump and his supporters are for it -- and how they have learned to better work the levers of official Washington to get their way in his second term as compared with his first term MUCH MORE here: breitbart.com/politics/2025/…

NEW: Several well-connected Capitol sources have told me it’s possible a second Republican member will go on record as opposing the election @SpeakerJohnson as Speaker again on Jan. 3, possibly as soon as tomorrow. We’ll see if this movement strengthens and materializes more. The @elonmusk criticism today has totally rocked the whole conference and shattered what was previously seen as a lock for Johnson on winning a speakership vote on the floor. Assuming all members are present and voting for a person, Johnson can only afford to lose three House Republicans. A fourth would be the dagger. Right now, one — @RepThomasMassie — is on record. But remember: Johnson actually had more Republicans vote against him than McCarthy did when @RepMTG called a motion to vacate back in the summer. So, the thinking is if Johnson has at least 4 on record against him before Jan. 3 — not impossible but we’re still only at 1 total — then pressure will greatly intensify on Johnson to simply step aside willingly and not force the GOP and Trump through the pain of being forcibly voted down on the floor. The sooner more members join Massie in public opposition, the likelier this process of electing a new and different speaker goes more smoothly. So be on the lookout for number two soon, perhaps even by tomorrow but no guarantees, and then for numbers three and especially four. At four, Johnson’s goose is cooked unless Democrats save him either by voting for him or engaging in a mass absence or present-voting scheme.

We also held a presidential election during the War of 1812, when a foreign army invaded the very young country. Again, if Ukraine were committed to democracy, Ukraine would hold an election pronto.

BREAKING — “LOCK HIM UP”: Texas AG @KenPaxtonTX is formally seeking the arrest of @BetoORourke for Beto’s alleged violation of a court order banning him from fundraising for TX statehouse Dem fugitives Paxton has filed a motion for contempt in court against O’Rourke. Max sentence for that is $500 fine and/or six months in jail. Paxton on Beto: “I’m working to put him behind bars”

NEW: a State Department source just told me since this order from @secrubio that a DEI “working group” of State Department employees has now formally CANCELED ALL FUTURE PLANNED EVENTS

THIS IS A MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR PETE HEGSETH Cramer was one of his most vocal critics earlier in the process and now is ready to support him getting confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Cramer is also on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Whoopsie daisies looks like the Democrats screwed this attack on Trump up too

Elise Stefanik easily had the votes for confirmation in the Senate. Reason her nomination getting pulled is multi-fold: First, House GOP needs the vote in slim majority. Second, one would think Trump wants someone he can really trust in the House to tell him like it is as the agenda heats up (concerns with the current leadership there and Stefanik far more trustworthy). Third, and most importantly, as evidenced by the Signal-gate hit this week, the radical left and globalist elites have begun their assault after laying in wait for some time. The war has begun. Stefanik is an excellent fighter, and will be critical for the president in this battle.

Frankly, every journalist in America — and anyone who believes in the First Amendment — should be doing whatever they can to stand up for @DoctorTurtleboy as it’s totally and completely outrageous what the government is trying to do him.

This is the day you've all been waiting for: It's been more than EIGHT YEARS since I've been active on X (formerly Twitter), and since we're inside 100 days to election day on Nov. 5, 2024, for the time being at least, I've decided I will start posting again here on some stuff.

Sovereignty beat Journalism in the Kentucky Derby. Fake News fails again.

And now Zelensky is repaying him by taking Air Force jets to Pennsylvania to campaign for Kamala Harris. This is a massive scandal. The speaker of the House needs to stop this TODAY or it’s clear he shouldn’t remain in that position after Nov. 5. Everyone should be outraged.

God Bless @SenFettermanPA for having the courage yet again to speak out against insanity.

NEW and EXCLUSIVE— Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina will vote for @PeteHegseth confirmation as Secretary of Defense on the floor assuming he is reported favorably out of the Senate Armed Service Committee, Tillis’s office confirms to me. Tillis will vote on floor for ALL Trump nominees reported out of committee, per his spokesman. Tillis (who sits on Judiciary Committee) is working per his office to ensure confirmation (through committee and then on floor) of Kash Patel for FBI Director and Pam Bondi for Attorney General. Story to come on @BreitbartNews very soon

Donald Trump is now yet again President-elect of the United States.

NEW: I interviewed President @realDonaldTrump today for nearly an hour before his bilateral meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. We discussed MANY things, but the biggest thing is he is in full DEALMAKER mode. We @BreitbartNews hope to have our first clip out from interview soon (lot of logistics traveling to Scotland and getting in and out of Turnberry!) and will flag when we do. Incredible stuff, and I must say Turnberry is an absolutely magnificent seaside property with breathtaking views. What a historic moment to be with the leader of the free world. Honored to have done the interview today. More when we have it!

The amount of times I’ve seen people who work across legacy establishment media outlets blackout drunk in my 15 years in this business is too many to count. This whole witch hunt against @PeteHegseth is shameful and needs to end now.

NEW: @realDonaldTrump National Security Adviser @michaelgwaltz has followed through on commitment he made in @BreitbartNews exclusive interview earlier in January to remove ALL "detailees" to the NSC from previous administration. As of Wednesday, they are all gone and new ones are coming in who are expected to be much more in line with Trump's agenda and vision. An NSC official confirmed the news to me just now, and NSC spokesman Brian Hughes added in a statement this all began as Waltz said to me before inauguration at 12:01 p.m. ET on Monday. HUGHES STATEMENT: "National Security Advisor Mike Waltz promised and authorized a full review of NSC personnel. It is entirely appropriate for Mr. Waltz to ensure NSC personnel are committed to implementing President Trump’s America First agenda to protect our national security and wisely use the tax dollars of America’s working men and women. Since 12:01 pm on Monday personnel reviews and decisions based on the evaluations are being made.”

Trump’s approval rating is surging right now….

This is more proof why the Associated Press cannot be trusted and the White House was entirely justified in removing the outlet from the press pool. @ZekeJMiller has yet to condemn David Klepper and he never will. He’s part of the WHCA cartel designed to protect establishment media elites. The WHCA does not care about press access or free speech or the First Amendment. The WHCA cares ONLY about blocking legitimate news organizations it does not like from voting membership, and from access to the president. Zeke, who’s the AP WH correspondent, has never once criticized the WHCA. He’s never once stood up against the WHCA efforts to block journalists from covering the White House. And now, the AP is embarrassing itself by reporting inaccurately that the president said things about Putin when he was clearly talking about Modi.

Folks: Sen. @BasedMikeLee is literally the gold standard of what we should look for from our senators (no offense to other great senators). He’s really doing some amazing work in the Senate. Also a good reminder that one battle can have a lasting impact more than a decade later — I remember 2010 race against establishment in Utah when Lee first won. It’s STILL paying off now. We’re doing better every cycle but need to keep improving at every opportunity in every race.

It’s not a “stopgap” spending bill. Stop calling it that. It’s a massive change to federal policy. Includes: * First Pay Raise for Congress in 15 Years * Allows Congress to opt out of Obamacare and join federal workers’ health plans (this was a MAJOR point of contention during Obamacare debate) * Funds highly controversial censorship efforts at the State Department — These 3 things alone are major policy issues that in a just world wouldn’t be rammed through in a lame duck session as the outgoing Congress was mostly just roasted at the ballot box. This is not just a continuing resolution at current levels or something.

First Mexico caves, then Canada caves. Maybe the establishment media got this whole thing wrong too just like everything else. What a time. Trump just keeps winning.

Honestly, Rupert Murdoch’s rag coming out AGAINST Gaetz is actually the strongest and best argument FOR Gaetz. Remember, the New York Post editorial board also opposed @JDVance for VEEP, and it even outright opposed the return of @realDonaldTrump altogether.

Evidence against Walz on stolen valor charge is substantial. There’s no excuse for any media to cover for him. Anyone who does is an accomplice in the theft. Unsurprising that some will because same reporters covered for Bob Menendez for over a decade. breitbart.com/politics/2024/…

Everyone always asks me if @SpeakerJohnson is "compromised." Well, the short answer is YES. Everyone also asks me HOW is he compromised? Well, the answer is a story we @BreitbartNews reported back in April of this year. Johnson's top policy adviser on ALL MATTERS is a man named Dan Ziegler. @D_Ziegler is his X handle, @elonmusk , in case you're wondering (he's not very active here, probably because he tries to keep a very low profile). Ziegler, before he worked for Johnson in the Speaker's office, worked at various places throughout the conservative movement like Heritage Action and others. He includes that stuff on his X profile page. What he DOES NOT include in that public bio is what's damning. Ziegler, as we reported back in April, was right until he worked for Johnson a LOBBYIST for a firm called Williams & Jensen. Now, not all lobbyists are bad just because they're lobbyists, but the client list that exists in question here seems to explain big chunks of how Johnson was flip-flopped on Ukraine aid. Remember that, before he was Speaker, Johnson was adamantly against wasting more U.S. tax dollars down the Ukraine drain? Well, what happened when he became Speaker? Well, Ziegler is what happened. The clients that were represented by Williams and Jensen when Ziegler worked there include several top firms that stood to financially benefit from the war in Ukraine continuing as it was and is going. In fact, several of these companies even say that in corporate compliance documents. There's tons more in the story on Breitbart (screenshotting headline here and putting link in reply). But one key detail we've never put in public before: I can state unequivocally that Speaker Johnson is aware of this story and has been for many months. He refuses to do anything about these matters, and does not seem to give one care in the world that he has a bunch of swamp monster lobbyists running around his office.

Apparently, and this not a joke, White House staff are quite literally eating Volodymyr Zelensky’s lunch that was meant for the Ukrainian leader before Donald Trump kicked him out of the White House.

BREAKING: @SecRubio just KICKED THE SOUTH AFRICAN AMBASSADOR OUT OF AMERICA over the below linked story from @joelpollak on @BreitbartNews

Massive development here — Cotton just powering through saying enough of the nonsense we saw with @PeteHegseth and that we’re currently seeing with @TulsiGabbard Huge deal

Liz ‘Pocahontas’ Warren is easily the most corrupt person in the U.S. senate. Easily.

NEW: SOURCES FAMILIAR CONFIRM THAT TULSI GABBARD CONFIRMATION IS SCHEDULED FOR 10 AM NEXT THURSDAY WEEK FROM TODAY. Massive development. Looks like the deep state and legacy media failed again. Process is moving forward.

This speech is one of Trump's best ever, and the Democrat behavior during it has been not only despicable but also colossally politically stupid. Whoever is advising these idiots just steered their party into an even deeper ditch than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris left them in.

Trump’s endorsement of Mike Johnson for Speaker should be treated like all other nominations and appointments. He deserves to have his choice. Plain and simple, agree or disagree, it’s Trump’s decision. He’s the president. He won in the face of adversity. So everyone on the right should do everything they can to help Trump. I have my disagreements with Johnson on a number of fronts, but the president has spoken. He’s the guy. That’s it. It’s over.

NEW: @kimguilfoyle has graduated from Ambassador School soon will be confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to Greece — her confirmation hearing will be upcoming soon and then she will be voted on by Foreign Relations Committee and then by full Senate. Photo of her graduation today:

Part of the reason you don’t see Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear, Pete Buttigieg, Mark Kelly, etc. defending the scandal-ridden Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket is it’s so much better for them if Harris loses. 2028 becomes open field.

One can’t but help but notice Elon is going nuclear against Trump’s signature legislation after it’s exposed that he has a significant conflict of interest in it (it ends Biden-era EV tax credit that propped up Tesla big time)

Come to think of it: we at @BreitbartNews must have missed theirs on our behalf too when Biden ordered Big Tech to silence us. Anyone have a link to it?

A very special congratulations to our @BreitbartNews Pentagon Correspondent @kristinawong who is one of the hardest working journalists I know.

The 2028 chances of @JoshShapiroPA are dwindling so fast right before our eyes as the governor of Pennsylvania is currently denying the results of an election.

NEW and EXCLUSIVE -- @marcorubio will SHRED globalists in his confirmation hearing opening remarks tomorrow Rubio's remarks, which his team provided exclusively to me @BreitbartNews ahead of their public release, show him laying out how since the end of the Cold War the foreign policy establishment has been entranced in a "DANGEROUS DELUSION" of grandeur that somehow a "liberal world order" had emerged and we had reached the "end of history." Rubio will then explain how the foreign policy establishment in the USA has betrayed working class Americans on trade, immigration, and public safety/national security. RUBIO: "Almost religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense of our national economy, shrunk the middle class, left the working class in crisis, collapsed industrial capacity, and pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and rivals." He will rip open borders ideologues for their "rrational zeal for maximum freedom of movement of people" that he will argue "has resulted in a historic mass migration crisis here in America and around the world that threatens the stability of societies and governments" Instead of addressing these problems, Rubio will say, the West has censored critics, seen the prosecution of domestic political opponents, all "while radical jihadists openly march in the streets and drive vehicles into our people."

EXCLUSIVE— Deloitte consultant revealed as the leaker of private messages with @JDVance to Washington Post: breitbart.com/politics/2024/…

We are all praying for @charliekirk11 right now.

Respectfully disagree here @elonmusk The Speaker is why we are in this mess to begin with. It will only get worse next year if he keeps the job. Now I will say this bill is a lot better than the first one, but it’s still a betrayal of @realDonaldTrump because he made clear he wanted debt ceiling raised and this does not do that. But the reason it’s a lot better is NOT @SpeakerJohnson — it’s because of you, @JDVance & Trump. We will keep ending up in this spot every battle next year if Johnson is not replaced. It will only get worse.

This is a very strong message from @LeaderJohnThune He needs to keep doing this and bringing the heat to the Democrats. It’s absolutely ridiculous only 1 cabinet official is confirmed so far. Time to bring the Democrats to their knees. Crush them. Make them vote all night every night. Ruin their lives. Keep the Senate schedule running 24/7. When you find out about any parties or receptions they have, schedule votes during it. That’s what they’d do to the Republicans. Time for the gloves to come OFF.

2024 election in a nutshell: @realDonaldTrump is guy at Mickey D’s who hooks you up with extra McNuggets. @KamalaHarris is person who if she did work at McDonald’s you’d have to check bag multiple times at drive-thru to make sure everything you ordered was in bag.

Another anti Charlie Kirk scumbag has lost their job.

I’m proud to have called Charlie Kirk a friend. Always remember what he stood for. We all stand for it now.

America did not learn much about @KamalaHarris in debate because she lied so much. So @BreitbartNews compiled very comprehensive breakdown of Kamala in her own words about where she actually stands on every issue. HINT: She’s really, really RADICAL. breitbart.com/2024-election/…

Senators should not be going to inaugural balls tonight. They should be working to through evening in the Senate to confirm Trump cabinet members. It’s EMBARRASSING how few cabinet officials GOP Senate has ready to confirm and how long this is taking them.

It’s a logistical nightmare outside the Capital One Arena right now. Thousands of Trump supporters have been waiting for hours and hours in freezing rain and snow is about to start very soon in DC. No wonder why they moved inauguration indoors tomorrow no way this would logistically work.

LOTS more coming from my interview with CIA Director Ratcliffe, his first in the job, but regarding his role atop the world's most preeminent intelligence agency he says he deeply understands the "challenges" facing the Intelligence Community (IC) and the "skepticism" public has towards IC after serious failures on things like spying on Trump 2016 campaign, Crossfire Hurricane/Mueller, 51 Intelligence folks lying by claiming Hunter Biden laptop "Russian disinformation," and more. RATCLIFFE: "I do think the challenge is one of my focuses has to be not only to get the CIA back to its core mission and the things that it’s supposed to do like being the best foreign intelligence agency and collecting human intelligence and being objective in the analysis of that intelligence and conducting covert action as directed by the president and authorized by the president and only by the president, and then the counterintelligence mission of keeping America’s national security information safe" Ratcliffe also says JOHN BRENNAN (who was CIA director under BARACK OBAMA) sent the Agency spiraling out of control into woke leftism. "The number one thing is to move away from the things that have contributed to all of the failures and all of the mistakes and all of the lapses that we just talked about—the politicization of intelligence, and it really started under the tenure of John Brennan." More RATCLIFFE on BRENNAN: "It would be fair to say his tenure was one of the worst things that has ever happened to the Agency" RATCLIFFE told me that PRESIDENT TRUMP told him to end politicization of intelligence and return the CIA to a meritocracy: "President Trump wants that to stop. He wants me to return the CIA to a meritocracy that produces better intelligence and addresses the kind of intelligence failures we talked about"

Sorry to inform you Ian, but Kamala lost Michigan. In fact, she lost all 7 battleground states as Donald Trump won the biggest landslide election victory in modern times for a president.
