Congress is inching closer to codifying the first DOGE cuts.

Vice President JD Vance had to cast another tiebreaking vote in the Senate to advance President Donald Trump's agenda.

The Senate narrowly advanced the DOGE cuts package in a 51-50 vote late Tuesday night. Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky voted to block the DOGE cuts, prompting Vance to cast his tiebreaking vote.

The rescissions package makes $1.1 billion in cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, including PBS and NPR, which have functionally worked as left-wing organizations subsidized by American taxpayers. The package also cuts $8.3 billion to various leftist projects disguised as foreign aid programs such as the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The Rescissions Act of 2025 promotes fiscal discipline and prioritizes domestic needs over foreign programs, cutting wasteful or needless spending at a time of record-high national debt.

"President Trump's proposed rescissions are an essential piece to implementing his agenda to protect U.S. taxpayers and enact lasting change in Washington by dealing a major blow to the weaponized foreign aid bureaucracy and public funding of woke indoctrination at NPR and PBS," Heritage Action Vice President of Government Relations Steve Chartan said in a statement.

The Alberta NDP is even sleazier than the Saskatchewan NDP.

BREAKING:
NDP illegally inflated membership numbers prior to electing Naheed Nenshi

Elections Alberta has ruled that the NDP broke the law in order to artificially inflate their membership prior to the election of incumbent leader Naheed Nenshi.

    The NDP have been forced into a binding agreement with the Elections Commissioner to abide by the law and quit misrepresenting their membership and fundraising numbers.

Elections Alberta has determined that the NDP unlawfully manipulated their membership numbers ahead of the election of incumbent leader Naheed Nenshi.

The decision comes after the United Conservative Party lodged a complaint with Elections Alberta in February, accusing the NDP of illegally equating contributions with party membership fees, and vice versa.

The Executive Director of the UCP didn't hold back in a statement accusing the former governing party of involuntarily signing up Albertans to join their ranks.

"The NDP misled donors and involuntarily signed them up as members. They have been inflating both their membership and donation numbers, making it impossible to trust any of their claims about actual figures," Van Vugt said.

It's unclear if the illegal activity was due to negligence, incompetence, or an attempt to hide their low membership.

Before the ruling, the NDP brushed off the accusation, calling the complaint "clearly spurious." The UCP also alleged the NDP constitution violated election rules by claiming that donations over $10 to the party counts as membership renewal.

However, Election commissioner Paula Hale said on Thursday that the NDP was "not in compliance," adding, "specifically, in circumstances where memberships were being renewed as the result of an individual making a contribution in a subsequent year."

It's the same progressive movement with the same strategy that cost him his own Ottawa area riding.

There could be an upset on August 18.

It is a nuisance. It spoils a lot of ballots for seniors too.

This needs to be done in every state and province.

The Democratic Party appears to be shifting toward an increasingly socialist-progressive platform in recent months.
Far-left candidates for mayoral positions have been gaining traction across the nation's largest cities. Most notably, socialist Zohran Mamdani defeated Democratic former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the race for New York City mayor, and now a similar figure is stepping up in Minneapolis.

Minnesota state Senator Omar Fateh, a self-styled progressive Democrat, announced on Saturday night that he had won the endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to be Minneapolis mayor.

Omar Fateh has been accused of pushing anti-white sentiment while advocating for more immigration. In a 2023 speech, Fateh advocated for greater trust in immigrants and insinuated that white people were the real threat to American security.

"The real threat comes from 'racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race,'" he continued, quoting Biden-era federal agencies.

Fateh faced an ethics complaint for allegedly insinuating during that speech that his Republican colleagues were violent extremists and white supremacists.

Minneapolis will hold a general election for mayor on November 4, 2025.

Liberals used the courts to bypass democracy for decades. Now, Trump is flipping that script — and reshaping the judiciary in the process.

The Supreme Court's recent ruling greenlighting mass layoffs at the Department of Education sends a clear message: The courts no longer belong to the Democrats.

For decades, Democrats relied on judges to impose policies they couldn't pass through Congress. But that strategy has collapsed. With a conservative majority now on the bench, the judicial workaround has given way to constitutional limits — and the leftist machine is losing.

My former party, the NDP hates the working class.

QuoteGovernment mismanagement of B.C.'s finances, economy and natural resources should be a warning to us all.

B.C. Premier David Eby's CleanBC plan could strip away $109.7 billion in economic activity from that province's economy by the end of this decade, according a report from ICBA Economics.

B.C. Premier David Eby has introduced economic and energy policies that are catastrophic for workers, families and businesses across his province. The provincial deficit for 2025 is at least $11 billion — and more likely to pass $15 billion, once Eby updates the numbers this fall.

Leading the parade of bad NDP ideas is Eby's CleanBC plan, which shows what happens when political ideology is placed ahead of common sense and economic reality. A recent ICBA Economics report delivered a shocking assessment, based on the B.C. government's own analysis: CleanBC will strip away $109.7 billion in economic activity from its economy by 2029 — more than 2.5 times the damage that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff war and Prime Minister Mark Carney's retaliatory trade barriers could inflict.

Let that sink in: B.C.'s self-inflicted climate scheme is two-and-a-half times more economically destructive than one of the most feared threats to Canadian trade and prosperity in generations.
