  • Federal Judges Block Biden’s Plan to End Student Loan Repayments

    Federal Judges Block Biden’s Plan to End Student Loan Repayments
    Jun 30 2024
    Two federal judges on Monday ruled to block part of President Joe Biden's recent attempt to indefinitely postpone or cancel nearly half a trillion dollars in student loan debt. U.S. District Judge John Ross in Missouri and U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree in Kansas issued two separate rulings on Monday after Republican-led states' attorneys general filed a legal challenge to Biden's plan, which would have indefinitely postponed payments for a huge swath of borrowers, likely costing taxpayers about half a trillion dollars. Ross' ruling is a preliminary injunction halting part of Biden's plan until a ruling is made. The issue will likely be appealed and could move up through the courts.

The total number who’ve illegally entered the U.S. nationwide in fiscal 2024 through May is more than 2.2 million, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

  • Biden, Trump Spar Over Inflation, Border, More in First Presidential Debate

    Biden, Trump Spar Over Inflation, Border, More in First Presidential Debate
    Jun 28 2024
    President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump grappled over inflation, illegal immigration, abortion and more during the first debate of this election cycle Thursday night in Atlanta. A Quinnipiac poll released the day before the debate shows Trump with a 49%-45% lead over Biden, showing Biden needed to turn the tide Thursday night. But throughout the debate, Biden showed moments of murmuring, blank stares, trailing off in his responses, or seeming to lose his train of thought. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” Trump said early in the debate. “I really don’t think he knows what he said either.”

  • GOP Leadership Decries Alleged Retaliation Against Hunter Biden Whistleblowers

    GOP Leadership Decries Alleged Retaliation Against Hunter Biden Whistleblowers
    Jun 23 2024
    A coalition of leading Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives is raising concerns about allegations that the Internal Revenue Service has retaliated against whistleblowers. IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler came forward and testified before Congress last year that the Biden administration mishandled the investigation into the alleged tax misdeeds of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son. The whistleblowers testified before Congress, as the Center Square previously reported, that Hunter received special treatment. Hunter Biden faces pending tax charges.

    Biden & Trump Debate Preview
    Jun 22 2024
    This 2024 election cycle has seen several major developments in recent weeks as the nation barrels toward November. At the end of May, a jury in New York found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts related to his alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. Polling since that verdict, though, shows the conviction has not hurt Trump’s chances against Biden. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week shows Trump with a two point lead over Biden. The current Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows Trump with a 0.8 point lead.

    Convictions Fail to Sink Trump’s Campaign
    Jun 15 2024
    A New York jury convicted former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts last week, but so far it seems to have done little to dampen Trump's electoral hopes. The conviction naturally raised the question of whether they would topple Trump’s 2024 White House bid. For now, the answer appears to be no.

    Jury Finds Hunter Biden Guilty in Delaware Gun Case
    Jun 14 2024
    A Delaware jury convicted President Joe Biden's son of gun charges on Tuesday, marking the first-ever criminal conviction of a president's son. Special counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden in September 2023 in federal court in Delaware on three counts tied to the possession of a gun while using drugs. Two of the counts involve allegations that he allegedly lied on a form attesting that he was not using illegal drugs when he bought a .38 Special Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018. The third count alleges that he possessed a firearm while using illicit drugs.
