Newly surfaced documents allege a pattern of political targeting that critics say shows the Biden administration, through the Department of Justice and the FBI, used instruments of law enforcement to monitor Republican phones and conservative organizations. The papers sketch a picture of aggressive surveillance and selective investigations that have left lawmakers and activists unsettled. Senator Ron Johnson summed up the concern bluntly, warning that “sabotage” is ongoing. The documents purport to show instances where investigative power crossed into political policing, creating a sense that the agencies involved were acting with partisan intent. For conservatives watching, this is not just bad…

The Pentagon has put new limits on how Defense Department officials communicate with members of Congress, and Republican lawmakers are warning this will make oversight harder and slow access to vital military information. Veterans and current GOP members say the change tightens a lid on what should be open lines between elected representatives and the people who defend the country. This article explains the concerns, the likely consequences, and the core arguments coming from a conservative perspective. Republican critics frame this as a transparency problem. They argue Congress has a constitutional duty to oversee the military and make decisions about…

Hurricane Melissa left dozens dead and widespread destruction across Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica, where roofless homes, toppled utility poles and water-logged furniture dominated the landscape Wednesday. The storm’s passage ripped through neighborhoods and exposed weak points in coastal and urban infrastructure, leaving residents to pick through the wreckage and start planning next steps. In many communities, entire roofs were torn away, exposing bedrooms and living spaces to the elements. Furniture and personal belongings piled up in streets and yards, soaked and ruined, a visual measure of the suddenness and force of the storm. Photographs and on-the-ground accounts show neighborhoods that…

The business community has made a clear, public push to get Washington moving again, and that pressure highlights real costs and political choices. Manufacturers from across the country are warning that the stall is damaging supply chains, payrolls, and competitiveness. Lawmakers in both chambers now face a choice: fix the problem or watch American industry lose ground. The National Association of Manufacturers and 30 state manufacturing groups sent a letter to House and Senate leaders, asking to reopen the government. That unified voice from industry leaders is not idle noise; it represents factories, shop floors, and supply lines that feed…

The Department of Homeland Security’s immigration agency will announce a new rule Wednesday requiring all migrants to go through a full revetting before their work permits can be renewed, and this move is meant to tighten vetting, close loopholes, and restore a basic link between legal permission to work and national security checks. This policy shift signals a more cautious approach to work authorization after years of stopgap practices that let renewals slide through with lighter checks. Conservatives will see it as a long overdue step toward restoring order and accountability at the border and on the job market. The…
