With the midterm elections rapidly approaching and polls showing Republicans in serious trouble with voters, they have become frantic to pass the SAVE America Act. Twenty-five House members are now promising to vote no on everything until the act is passed. Their panic is based on the entirely unfounded belief that passing the act would make some meaningful difference in the midterm results.
President Donald Trump called on attendees at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference on Friday to pressure Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to change her staunch opposition to the SAVE America Act. Though Senate Republicans have repeatedly failed to whip enough votes to pass the bill, Trump declared earlier this week that he […]

A group of Democrats identifying as moderate say they are organizing to oppose the extremist policies of the far right as well as those of the socialists on the far left.The moderate-identifying Democrats are unhappy about the recent victories of far-left extremists in places like New York City, where Democratic incumbents lost in primaries this week. About a dozen moderate-identifying Democrats signed on the pledge at the "Promise to America" website.'Americans want safe communities and institutions that solve problems. We believe in building more to lower costs and expand opportunity.'Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York appeared on Fox News to publicize the effort."You know there are certain things that I believe in that are not being reflected in the current environment, especially with some of these races on Tuesday," said Suozzi."As we said in our pledge, we're for capitalism, not socialism. We're for safety, not lawlessness. We're proud of America, not ashamed of America — and we need to be promoting those things," he added. "The far left and the far right, you know, they're all very well organized. But those of us that don't support those far-left or far-right principles need to do a better job organizing and getting our message out.""America is stronger than our politics. Politics forces false choices between extremes on right and left. We reject them," the group said in the pledge."Too many Americans have not benefited from the last half-century of economic growth," they added. "Americans want an economy that lowers costs, expands opportunity, and rewards the people who work hard every day. Americans want safe communities and institutions that solve problems. We believe in building more to lower costs and expand opportunity. We believe Democrats succeed when we speak to the whole country and value persuasion over purity."The website asks supporters of the cause to sign the pledge as well.RELATED: Hunter Biden wants Democrats to learn EXTREME lesson from NYC elections The victories of far-left socialists backed by Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani have been seen by many as a revolution in the Democratic Party. Some, like Hunter Biden, have opined that the victories mean the Democratic Party needs to lurch into the far left and push harder for socialism. Other Democrats who signed onto the moderate-identifying agenda include Rep. Adam Gray of California, Rep. Laura Gillen of New York, Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet of Michigan, and Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, among others. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
A federal judge ruled Thursday that the Department of Justice admitted to breaking the law by failing to release the majority of its files on Jeffrey Epstein to the public, giving acting Attorney General Todd Blanche a week to release more information.U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan wrote in his opinion that Blanche failed to address allegations from journalist Katie Phang that the Trump administration failed to release the files in full. Phang sued the DOJ in April over a “brazen, shocking, and ongoing violation” of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed last year.“The Attorney General does not respond substantively to any of these arguments,” Sullivan said in his ruling. “The Attorney General has conceded that he is in violation of the Act.”Sullivan issued a preliminary injunction giving Blanche one week to release information redacted from the files, including names, or provide detailed reasons for the redactions. Some of the files in question include the FBI’s notes from interviews with a woman who accused President Trump of assaulting her in the 1980s as a 13-year-old.The files covered by the injunction also include email exchanges with Epstein concerning an alleged “torture video” and sex acts with minors; the names of co-defendants from a draft indictment; the identities of Epstein’s potential co-conspirators and DOJ employees who sent messages about them; and information in “foreign languages” that the DOJ said it couldn’t translate and redact.The DOJ has said in the past that its unreleased Epstein files were not verified, and contained “unfounded and false” claims about Trump. But the law passed by Congress leaves few exceptions, and now Blanche, Trump’s former personal attorney, will have to answer for why some of the files remain hidden.“The government ignored its own law and blew off a judge’s order, all for the sake of protecting the very powerful and the very rich,” said Brendan Ballou, Katie Phang’s attorney, to Politico. “Doing so had consequences, and now the public will finally get transparency around Jeffrey Epstein and his network.”
The Pentagon and the organization have given contradictory accounts of an agreement reached in February.
