House Oversight Committee scrutinizes ‘serious ethical failures’ by AG Dana Nessel involving former staffer, Democratic Party official

The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday dug into documents subpoenaed from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel detailing what chair Rep. Jay DeBoyer described as “serious ethical failures.”

“The focus of this hearing should be the unethical breaches of isolation walls in both of these files,” DeBoyer, R-Clay Twp., said.

The July 22 subpoena focused on two sets of documents tied to separate matters, with one centered on the handling of allegations involving attorney Traci Kornak. The committee also reviewed records related to the Bipartisan Solutions Fair and Equal Michigan ballot initiative.

The heavily redacted materials included emails and text messages related to Kornak, a personal friend of Nessel, a member of her transition team, and a former Michigan Democratic Party treasurer who was once under consideration for a judicial appointment in Kent County. Kornak was investigated over allegations of insurance fraud stemming from her role as a conservator for an elderly client. Click here to read more.

 

Sen. Tom Cotton Introduces Bills Enforcing Strict Asylum Seeker Standards, Ending In-State Tuition for Illegal Migrants

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) introduced a pair of bills Tuesday to strengthen immigration security and to ensure that only American citizens are eligible for in-state college tuition, telling Breitbart News that his legislation is aimed at “closing loopholes that are frequently exploited” by illegal migrants.

The Put American Students First Act points to 22 states and Washington, DC for violating Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which prohibits in-state tuition rates being granted to students who are not lawful residents of the state, unless the same rates are offered to all citizens of the United States regardless of residence.

Republicans Weigh in on Bill Banning Transgender Procedures

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Grene, R-Ga., and co-sponsored by more than 40 other House Republicans seeks to criminalize providing transgender surgeries or medications to minors in the United States. It also creates a right to action to sue for damages if a minor is a victim of a transgender procedure such as the administration of cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, or genital surgeries.

“Unless there are teeth to the bill in terms of actual consequences for people who provide these procedures, the incentives to provide them are going to remain because it’s a very lucrative industry,” Hanford explained.

“The Protect Childhood Innocence Act provides the strongest protections for tens of millions of American children against a radical medical establishment that is all too willing to exploit vulnerable children for profit,” Schilling said. Click here to Read more.

 

Newsom’s ‘National Model’ for Homeless Wracked by Fraud

Gov. Gavin Newsom has made reducing the homelessness crisis in California a top priority, saying the scale of the state’s efforts is “unprecedented” and calling for the continued expansion of his signature effort – Project Homekey – that has already cost $3.75 billion.

But in a state with more than 181,000 homeless individuals, or about one-third of the U.S. total, Homekey has been marred by failures and scandals, including a lack of government oversight and accountability as well as a federal investigation into allegations of fraud in Los Angeles.

Newsom, who appears to be preparing for a presidential bid in 2028, could make Homekey, which he calls a “national model,” a talking point in his campaign. The state claims the program has created almost 16,000 permanent housing units that will serve over 175,000 people. But since the state doesn’t track outcomes – whether people placed in housing saw their lives improve or if they returned to the streets – the program’s effectiveness is unclear, according to a critical 2024 state auditor’s report.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression reports a record number of campus incidents involving attempts to investigate, censor, or otherwise punish students for protected expression in 2025.

FIRE has documented 273 efforts — so far — this year in which students and student groups were targeted for their constitutionally protected expression. This breaks the previous record of 252 set back in 2020, the first year of the Students Under Fire database, during the unrest prompted by Covid-19 lockdowns and the murder of George Floyd.

“These findings paint a campus culture in which student expression is increasingly policed and controversial ideas are not tolerated,” said FIRE Senior Researcher Logan Dougherty. “College is supposed to be a place where ideas are freely shared, not where students should be concerned about whether their comments will be subject to university scrutiny.” Click here to read more.

State worker fired for benefit misconduct earned years of ‘100’ reviews from state health department

LANSING, Mich An employee of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services was fired in 2024 after allegedly not conducting interviews when making decisions about whether to approve benefits. That same employee received perfect scores on four assessment reviews before being fired.

Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained Ashanta Butler’s performance reviews through open records requests.

Those records show Rachel Hill, a health department supervisor, gave Butler a 100 in every category in the 2019 review for areas such as job knowledge, managing work, communication and contributing to team success.

Part of the performance review from 2023 praised Butler for communicating with “positive non-offensive and inclusive terms.” Click here to read more.

 

Australia’s Leftist Leaders Call For ‘Tougher Gun Laws’ After Antisemitic Massacre

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday that the country’s Left-wing government stands “prepared” to pass more restrictive gun laws after two gunmen killed at least 15 people and wounded dozens more at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney on Sunday.

Albanese responded to the terrorist attack by cracking down even more on gun ownership, saying the country must “take whatever action is necessary,” the Associated Press reported.

“Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws,” Albanese added.

Australia already has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world after the government enacted a mandatory buyback program following the 1996 mass shooting in Port Arthur, where a gunman killed 35 people. Australia bans citizens from owning semi-automatic rifles and pump-action shotguns. Click here to read more.

 

Republican bills repeal ‘red-flag’ gun law as Judiciary Committee schedules hearing

A trio of gun rights bills introduced by Rep. Jim DeSana in February will finally come before the House Judiciary Committee next week, sparking renewed debate over Michigan’s controversial red flag gun law.

The Carleton Republican aims to repeal the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act adopted by a Democratic government trifecta in 2023, which has led to legal gun owners losing their Second Amendment rights over the actions of others since it went into effect in February 2024.

DeSana’s bills have been sitting in committee for nearly 10 months.

House Bill 4140 is the centerpiece of the package. It would repeal the 2023 Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, which allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals a judge believes pose a danger to themselves or others. Click here to read more.

 

US AG Office: 260,000 Dead People And Thousands of Non Citizens On Voter Rolls

LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The U.S. Attorney General has discovered more than 260,000 dead people and several thousand non-citizens during its review of voter rolls across the country thus far.

Biden ‘ignored warnings about letting terror-linked Afghans into US’

Joe Biden’s administration ignored counterterrorism warnings to admit Afghans with terrorist links into the United States, it has been claimed.

Officials flagged more than 1,000 Afghans with ties to Islamic State and other terror groups who entered the country during Operation Allies Welcome, following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, according to a senior intelligence official.

Biden, the former president, is accused of prioritizing mass migration over security and disregarding warnings from officials within his administration who identified terrorist threats.

U.S. government reports have previously concluded that the normal system of background checks was suspended because of the urgent need to evacuate Afghans after the Taliban takeover.

On Nov. 26, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan soldier who fought alongside American forces and was granted humanitarian parole in the United States under Biden, shot and killed a National Guardsman and left another in critical condition. Click here to read more.

Michigan Democrats Use Federal Vaccine Shake-Up to Push Sweeping Immunization Laws

LANSING, Mich. — The state has spent about $1.8 million to build 201 new electric vehicle chargers at multifamily properties through the first two rounds of grants given through the Clean Fuel and Charging Infrastructure program.

Michigan is 1.9 million registered EVs away from reaching the official goal of 2 millioni EV’s driving on public roads by 2030. There are around 85,000 registered EVs statewide.

Former President Joe Biden mandated that 66% of newly made vehicles be electric, but the Trump administration ended that mandate last week by rolling back the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards.

Researchers at Michigan State University say Michigan needs to spend $1 billion building EV chargers, CapCon previously reported. Click here to read more.

House passes legislation ending implicit bias training for healthcare workers

The Michigan House on Thursday approved legislation to end the state’s implicit bias training requirement for health professionals, a move toward eliminating a mandate from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that Republicans describe as an unnecessary regulatory burden on medical providers.

House Bill 4915, sponsored by Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford, now moves to the Michigan Senate for consideration.

The legislation aims to amend Michigan law by removing implicit bias training from the licensing process for healthcare workers. The current requirement applies to more than 400,000 licensed professionals across over two dozen health fields, including doctors, nurses, dentists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals.

OpenAI and Microsoft are facing a lawsuit claims the massively popular AI chatbot ChatGPT contributed to a Connecticut man killing his mother and then himself in August.

AWAY WITH THE MANGER: How the Left Tries to Weaponize Christmas Against Trump

This year, Catholics in Massachusetts are protesting President Donald Trump’s immigratoin policies by swapping “Away in a Manger” for “Away With the Manger.”

This marks yet another instance of Trump opponents weaponizing the Christmas story to demonize immigration enforcement by claiming Jesus was a refugee and suggesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement would have arrested and deported the Christ child in the manger.

The Catholic priest at St. Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, set up a classic nativity scene with shepherds, sheep, wise men, and … a sign reading “ICE was here” in the place where Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus would normally be. While the Catholic leadership opposed this “divisive political messaging,” the Rev. Stephen Josoma blamed the Trump administration for any division. Click here to read more.

 

‘Gross attack’: Criminal illegal migrant ‘savagely’ bites ICE officer, DHS says

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A criminal illegal migrant bit an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer while the agent was arresting him in Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced.

DHS, which condoned the “gross” and “vicious” attack, identified the suspect as Maximiliano Perez-Perez.

“This criminal illegal alien is being charged with assault after he savagely bit a law enforcement officer in an attempt to evade arrest,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on Friday in a news release.

“DHS law enforcement is facing a 1,150% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats,” she added. “This is the reality of what our ICE officers are facing every day as they go to work to simply do their job and enforce the law. “Many of these assaults, including biting and vehicle rammings, are happening as a direct result of sanctuary politicians encouraging illegal aliens to evade arrest.”
