In a press call hosted by House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and the House Freedom Caucus, Republican members of Congress weighed in on the future of federal appropriations whether or not the stopgap spending continuing resolution languishing in the Senate is passed.  “Republicans have been moving their committee stuff forward as best they can, but … you can’t do everything during a government shutdown. You can’t talk about what the next one is going to be until you open it up in the first place,” Emmer told The Daily…

I write from a quiet, mountainous part of Central Europe. The scenery is idyllic, and the fall air is crisp. But much as the case has been in my other recent trips to the European continent, the sights I see and the conversations I hear are all underscored by a similar haunting concern: Will there even be a Europe, in any cognizable sense of the term, a century from now? All across the continent, fertility rates have plummeted, and the Christianity that defined the civilization for two millennia is viewed as a…

President Donald Trump said Tuesday independent New York mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo has a chance of winning against socialist Zohran Mamdani if the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, drops out. “If he dropped out, maybe Cuomo would have a little bit of a chance, but not much, because it looks like, it’s not a great lead, but it’s big enough that [Mamdani] should be able to win,” Trump said in response to a question from The Daily Signal. “So, I don’t know that I want to get involved. It’s really a…

It is considered impolite to say, “We told you so.” However, after the debate Thursday between Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and his Democrat challenger, Jay Jones, the temptation to is daunting. Last week, in the wake of the “October Surprise” release of Jones’ text messages from 2022 where he fantasized about shooting then-Republican Speaker of the House of Delegates Todd Gilbert and about Gilbert’s two children dying in his wife’s arms, we published a look into the substantial punitive power that a Virginia attorney general has—power that Jones could…

After a judge ordered Virginia Democrat governor nominee Abigail Spanberger to give sworn answers in a defamation case against the Virginia Democratic Party, the Democrats hired a new lawyer in what the plaintiff says is a transparent effort to cocoon Spanberger from political peril ahead of the November election. Thomas Speciale, a retired Army intelligence officer and former Republican U.S. Senate candidate, alleges that the party concocted a devious scheme enlisting the House of Delegates speaker to serve as its lawyer, thereby delaying the case and preventing Spanberger from being…

Two federal courts heard arguments Thursday about President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to quell unrest near U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in Portland, Oregon, and Chicago. “The district court found that the Portland ICE facility protests were small—less than 30 people—largely sedate and generally peaceful,” Oregon Assistant Attorney General Stacy Chaffin told the three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The hearing was held remotely by video.  Two of the judges, Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade, are Trump appointees. Another judge, Susan Graber,…
