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

The Michigan House Oversight Committee on Tuesday delved deeper into whether Attorney General Dana Nessel improperly intervened in a criminal case involving an organization that financially supported a ballot committee related to her spouse.

At issue is a criminal referral involving Bipartisan Solutions, a 501(c)(4) organization that allegedly solicited and received roughly $700,000 to support the Fair and Equal Michigan ballot committee. Nessel’s wife, Alena McGuire, served as a co-chair of the committee in what lawmakers described as a clear conflict of interest.

Committee Chair Jay DeBoyer, R-Clay Twp., emphasized that Michigan law places investigative authority for campaign finance violations squarely with the Secretary of State. Click here to read more.

‘You see this news?’: What Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer told friends after the attack

Fifty-five minutes before he allegedly shot and killed right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson was bragging about his success playing the online puzzle game Wordle.

It was the morning of Sept. 10. Robinson had guessed the answer — “pouty” — on his third attempt. He sent his results and a celebratory meme to a friend, who responded with a meme of his own and conceded that it had taken him five tries.

By then, according to prosecutors, Robinson had already driven three hours from his home in southern Utah with a high-powered rifle. He was about to make his way onto the campus of Utah Valley University, where Kirk was set to speak to a crowd outdoors. Click here to read more.

 

These Congressmen Want To Give You the Right To Sue Federal Law Enforcement for Violating Your Rights

Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D–Conn.) and Alex Padilla (D–Calif.) introduced the Accountability for Federal Law Enforcement Act on Monday, which would allow individuals, regardless of citizenship status, to sue federal law enforcement officers and agencies that violate their constitutional rights. The announcement comes in response to the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics that have violated the rights of both immigrants and American citizens.

Earlier this month, Blumenthal released a report on the unchecked authority that immigration officials under President Donald Trump have used to forcibly detain people. The report highlights the firsthand accounts of 22 American citizens wrongfully detained by immigration agents, five of whom testified during a public forum on December 9.

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.
