Month: April 2026

After the April 25 shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, Woke Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz posted on X, condemning the rise of political violence and praising the swift response of law enforcement. In his message, Walz wrote that “political violence has become all too prevalent in America” and said he was grateful for security at the event where President Donald Trump was evacuated after gunfire near the main security screening area.

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings, a CNN contributor, quickly quote‑tweeted Walz, calling out his hypocrisy with the caption “This you?” along with a Yahoo article quoting Tim’s past statements about him being disappointed about failed assassination attempts of Trump in the past.

Jennings and other critics argued that Walz’s denunciation of violence rang hollow, given his participation days earlier in a left‑wing conference in Barcelona, where he sharply attacked Trump, calling him a fascist, a rhetoric they say contributes to the hostile political climate.

Right‑leaning users on X accused Walz of hypocrisy, pointing to past comments in which he likened federal immigration officers to the “Gestapo” and warned that such language had coincided with a surge in threats and attacks on ICE agents.

One viral reply asked whether Walz and other Democrats “ever take a look in the mirror,” while another suggested his own words had helped create the environment that produced what critics call an attempted assassination at the dinner.

The backlash came amid broader conservative criticism of what they call a double standard on political violence, with commentators noting that Trump and his allies have faced multiple assassination attempts since returning to the White House.

On Fox News, “The Five” co‑host Greg Gutfeld blasted what he termed the “Democrat‑media complex,” arguing the Correspondents’ Dinner shooter had been radicalized by years of liberal pundits and politicians branding Trump a fascist, Hitler and a threat to democracy.

Gutfeld said the suspect “heard voices” from figures like Rep. Ted Lieu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, CNN, and “The View,” calling the attack a grim example of how constant demonization of conservatives can push unstable individuals toward violence.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz delivered an unhinged rant during his State of the State Address on Tuesday in the Minnesota House Chamber, calling federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “armed lawless gangs” engaged in a “campaign of organized brutality.”

Walz dramatically referred to President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operations in the state as an “unthinkable federal invasion.”

The hyperbolic governor asserted, “We experienced an unthinkable federal invasion of our state. For months, armed lawless gangs roamed our communities in a campaign of organized brutality. Families lived in fear. Children were separated from their parents. Neighbors from neighbors.”

Walz claimed, “Minnesotans who had done nothing wrong were subjected to racial profiling and unlawful detentions.”

The inflammatory comments were referencing the Trump administration’s “Operation Metro Surge,” which targeted Minnesota’s sanctuary-style policies.

DHS officials repeatedly called out Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for refusing to honor ICE detainers for criminal illegal aliens in state and local custody.

Later in the speech, Walz blamed Minnesota’s “generosity” for the billions of dollars in fraud he allowed to take place in the Somali community.

Walz has a long history of being soft on illegal immigration and crime in general.

During the 2024 campaign as Kamala Harris’ running mate, he repeatedly downplayed border chaos.

In January, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, he compared ICE raids to “Nazis arresting Anne Frank.”

Earlier this month, Walz called Trump a “fascist” during a trip to Europe.

Walz has also demanded the federal government pay for “deep damage” caused by ICE operations and even sued the Trump administration over ICE-involved incidents, teaming up with the ACLU and other leftist groups.

In a 9-0 decision delivered today by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the U.S. Supreme Court handed pro-life warriors at First Choice Women’s Resource Centers a massive victory against the radical left’s latest attempt to silence and intimidate faith-based pregnancy centers.

The Court ruled that First Choice has standing to challenge New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport’s (succeeding the notorious Matt Platkin) outrageous subpoena demanding the names, addresses, phone numbers, and employment details of nearly all their donors, even though the subpoena hasn’t been enforced yet in state court.

This is a DEVASTATING blow to Democrat lawfare tactics designed to dox conservative donors and scare them away from supporting pro-life causes!

As TGP reported back on December 3, 2025 during oral arguments, Justice Clarence Thomas absolutely TORCHED the New Jersey AG’s lawyer, forcing him to admit under oath that the state had ZERO public complaints about First Choice before launching their donor-snooping fishing expedition.

Thomas called out the whole charade as a “burdensome way to find out whether someone has a confusing website.” especially since First Choice has been crystal clear since 1985 that they are a religious nonprofit that does NOT provide or refer for abortions. They counsel women, support mothers, and honor life from conception.

But the radical AG’s office didn’t care. They created a phony “Reproductive Rights Strike Force,” blasted out consumer alerts smearing pro-life groups as “misleading” women and “preventing access to reproductive health care,” then dropped this nuclear subpoena demanding 28 categories of documents, including donor info going back to January 1, 2021, through every method except ONE single webpage the AG decided was “safe.”

First Choice fought back in federal court, arguing the demand violated their First Amendment rights to free association and speech. Anonymous donors told the court they would have been far less likely to donate if they knew their private information could be handed over to a hostile Democrat AG with a well-documented record of targeting pro-life organizations.

Lower courts, including a divided Third Circuit, tried to kill the case, claiming no “injury in fact” until a state judge actually forced production. The Supreme Court just LAUGHED at that nonsense.

Justice Gorsuch’s opinion for the unanimous Court was crystal clear and devastating to the left’s agenda:

“An injury in fact arises when a defendant burdens a plaintiff’s constitutional rights, and government demands for a charity’s private donor information have just that effect. Such demands inevitably discourage association with groups engaged in protected First Amendment advocacy and encourage groups to cease or modify protected advocacy the government disfavors. All this occurs not just when a demand is enforced but when it is made and for as long as it remains outstanding.”

This ruling is a MASSIVE rebuke to the weaponization of government power against Christians and pro-lifers.

Attorneys representing the First Choice Women’s Resource Centers celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision in comments to LifeNews.

“In this resounding victory, the Supreme Court held to its long-standing precedent of recognizing that the Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose donor identities and contact information,” said ADF Of Counsel Erin Hawley, who argued before the Supreme Court in December.

“New Jersey’s attorney general targeted First Choice—a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more to its community—simply because of its pro-life views. That is blatantly unconstitutional. Should the Attorney General continue these efforts on remand, we look forward to presenting First Choice’s case in federal court.”

“For more than two years, Attorney General Platkin targeted First Choice with aggressive demands for sensitive documents, including our donors’ identities,” said First Choice Executive Director Aimee Huber. “He has gone to great lengths to frustrate the important work we do—work that has made a tangible, life-saving difference for tens of thousands of New Jersey women and their children. As the Supreme Court recognized, the government can’t evade federal court review when it harasses those who support pro-life ministries just because it disagrees with their message and their mission.”

“An official demand for private donor information is enough to discourage reasonable individuals from associating with a group,” the court wrote in its opinion in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin. “From its allegations and declarations, and given our many and longstanding precedents in the area and reasonable inferences about third party behavior, First Choice has established that the Attorney General’s demand for private donor information injures the group’s First Amendment associational rights.”

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday left interest rates unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%.

Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting may be Jerome Powell’s last as the Senate prepares to confirm Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chairman.

In an unusual development, four FOMC members dissented.

As expected, Trump-appointed governor Stephan Miran dissented.

“The other three “no” votes came from regional presidents Beth Hammack of Cleveland, Neel Kashkari of Minneapolis and Lorie Logan of Dallas. They said they agreed with the hold but “did not support the inclusion of an easing bias in the statement at this time,”” CNBC reported.

According to CNBC, at issue for the trio was this sentence: “In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks.”

CNBC reported:

An unusually divided Federal Reserve on Wednesday held its key interest rate steady as policymakers grappled with the policy impact of persistent inflation and awaited a looming leadership transition at the central bank.

In what may have been Chair Jerome Powell’s final meeting at the helm, the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee voted to hold the benchmark funds rate in a range between 3.5%-3.75%. Markets had been pricing in a 100% chance of no change.

However, the meeting saw a dramatic turn amid a groundswell of officials who opposed messaging that further rate cuts could be ahead.

Amid expectations for a routine vote to hold the benchmark funds rate steady, the Federal Open Market Committee instead was split along 8-4 lines, with officials expressing different reasons for their vote.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

Powell said he plans to remain on the board as chairman after his term ends next month “for an undetermined period of time.”

Another day, another warning sign from the Washington establishment.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has reportedly will BLOCK a permanent ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in ANY legislation the House sends over, and also “No SAVE America.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), one of the few true fighters left in Congress, dropped this bombshell warning to the nation on X:

“Attention America: John Thune has said he will not support a CBDC ban in any of the legislation we send over. He also has said No Save America.”

Attention America:

John Thune has said he will not support a CBDC ban in any of the legislation we send over.

He also has said No Save America.

And shortly after Luna’s post, Rep. Tim Burchett confirmed it on his account, writing on X:

“I was there I heard it.”

I was there I heard it. https://t.co/gCsTNqQvUs

— Tim Burchett (@timburchett) April 29, 2026

This comes as House are desperately trying to protect the American people from the coming CBDC surveillance nightmare.

A Central Bank Digital Currency would give the corrupt Federal Reserve and the Democrat deep state the power to track every transaction you make, freeze your accounts if you buy a gun or attend a Trump rally, and turn the United States into a totalitarian digital prison state.

This is the same technology the Chinese Communist Party uses to enslave its people, and Thune is rolling out the red carpet for it.

As The Gateway Pundit has exhaustively reported in recent weeks, Thune has already proven himself a spineless sellout on the SAVE America Act, the critical legislation to require proof of U.S. citizenship and photo ID to vote, stopping the Democrat illegal voting machine cold.

Just days ago, we exposed how Thune STABBED TRUMP AND AMERICA IN THE BACK by refusing to nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, telling reporters “That’s not going to happen.”

He mocked the massive grassroots pressure campaign as nothing but “propaganda by paid influencers.” After a two-week recess, he reportedly dropped the bill entirely, prompting Rep. Luna to expose Thune on X who is “no longer considering the SAVE America Act.”

In 2021, Heather Honey from VerityVote asked Lycoming County, PA, for their 2020 election Cast Vote Records. She was denied. Over five years, they have battled with the county Office of Open Records and three different court jurisdictions. Yesterday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that CVR files must be made publicly available. The CVR file is essentially a receipt of everything the tabulator machine scanned. The full opinion is here.

A short recap: Each election ballot is fed into a tabulator machine, which counts the voter’s intent by scanning. Election jurisdictions have several tabulators at counting locations. Each tabulator keeps an internal record of how many ballots it processed and other key data.  This includes timestamps, precinct info, and other data like the number of bubbles it counted for President DEM, President REP, Senate1 DEM, Senate1 REP, Senate2 DEM, and so on. The CVR record serves a similar purpose to cash register close-out slips used by stores.

Typically, data from the tabulators flows to the county’s EMS server (Election Management System). From there, it goes to the State system and then onto Edison Research, which merges all the U.S data. Edison then provides it to the National Election Pool of news organizations. This group broadcasts the election results we see on TV. CVR files are the farthest upstream source of voting data. They can prove spikes in voting for a specific candidate, when they happened, and from which tabulators. They can prove if results were manipulated downstream, in the systems mentioned above.

The first court, Lycoming County Trial Court, said CVR’s should be made public, and their disclosure does not violate ballot secrecy. They said Honey lacked standing because she did not live or vote in Lycoming County. The court ruled that the 3 intervenors from Lycoming County did have standing. This included a local businessman, a retired state trooper, and Republican state Rep. Joe Hamm.

Next was the Commonwealth Court (En Banc). The majority reversed the lower trial court ruling. They said CVRs are not public information. They are the digital equivalent of ballots and are exempt. Judges McCullough and Wallace dissented, saying disclosure supports transparency without harming secrecy.

Last was the PA Supreme Court. They made several statements affirming that CVR’s are explicitly subject to public inspection and the CVR files must be turned over immediately. The Democratic-majority Court said its unanimous decision was a way to “satisfy the voting public that our elections are safe, secure and accurate”.

The court went on to say that CVRs lack any voter-identifying info, and the risk of releasing CVR info is no greater than the published election results. The Lycoming Office of Open Records originally denied Honey’s request, stating that CVR files are the equivalent of inspecting a ballot box. Lawyers representing the county used the same argument throughout the 3 court jurisdictions. They also proclaimed tabulators were equivalent to the machines people use to cast their vote. The Court ruling said NO, they are not.

According to VerityVote, “The justices carve out consideration for CVRs that aren’t randomized. Nobody really thinks about this issue properly. There is a line of thinking that you can keep the CVR from the public if there is an edge case where the voter of a ballot can be reasonably guessed. What they miss is that ballot secrecy does not exist to keep information from the public but rather from the state. If the state builds a voting system that allows them to identify voters of a ballot, they are the ones doing something wrong, not the people asking for public information.”

VerityVote is a premier provider of election integrity and many other professional investigations. Their “open source” work has been exceptional for years. In August of 2025, the founder of VerityVote, Heather Honey, was hired by DHS to work on election integrity issues. She is the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Elections Integrity in the department’s Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans.

Since her DHS hiring, the Associated Press, NPR, and many other biased outlets have attacked Honey. The left-wing FOIA machine American Oversight, who are staffed with 40+ lawyers, has pummelled DHS, demanding all communications ever produced to and from Honey.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court – Final Ruling Overview
HELD: CVRs must be disclosed
CORE RULINGS:

• CVRs do NOT equal contents of ballot boxes
• CVRs do NOT equal contents of voting machines
• Voting machines are devices voters use to cast votes

Two people have been indicted on federal charges related to the attack on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez.

“I am extremely grateful to the DOJ and FBI for how swiftly they handled this case. I have been assaulted by violent left wing activists multiple times and there has never been a response, so to see the FBI and the justice system utilized to fight back against left wing violence is extremely appreciated,” Savanah Hernandez said in a statement to The Gateway Pundit.

TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez was brutally assaulted earlier this month at the Whipple ICE facility in Minneapolis.

The anti-ICE protestors organized “National F*ck ICE Day” demonstrations in major cities across the country such as Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis.

Organizers confirmed that more than 600 sex toys were shipped from Minneapolis to Los Angeles for the protest.

Anti-ICE protestors lined the fence at the Whipple ICE facility at Saturday’s “National F*ck ICE Day.”

The far-left protestors held signs that read, “Get the F*ck Out ICE, “ICE Has no Place Here,” “F*ck ICE” and “Dementia Malignant Narcissist President.”

The protestors also lined the fence with vulgar sex toys.

Savanah Hernandez was reporting live from the Whipple building when she was physically assaulted by a leftist.

A leftist began punching Savanah Hernandez and knocked her to the ground.

Others came in to break up the fight.

“All of this because I was standing outside on a public street filming a protest in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” Savanah Hernandez said.

Former FBI Director James Comey is under arrest and in court in Alexandria, Virginia, after a grand jury indicted him on two felony counts related to his Trump assassination Instagram post.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption in May 2025.

’86 47′ is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.

The US Marshals were asked to provide Comey with the indictment, and they issued an arrest warrant on Tuesday.

Read the indictment here.

Comey is facing up to 20 years in prison.

James Comey is under arrest at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, but his case will be litigated in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

James Comey was indicted on two felony counts:

COUNT ONE: Knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States;

COUNT TWO: knowingly and willfully did transmit in interstate and foreign commerce a communication that contained a threat to kill the President, Donald J. Trump

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday made it clear during a presser: “You are not allowed to threaten the President of the United States of America.”

Later Tuesday, Comey lashed out at the Trump Administration in a video message posted to his Substack.

“Well.. they’re back,” Comey said.

“This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won’t be the end of it. Nothing has changed with me. I’m still innocent,” he said.

A Christian school that was punished for refusing to play against a transathlete has won a settlement from the State of Vermont.

In 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported that Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) withdrew from Vermont’s Division IV basketball tournament due to a biological male being on the opposing team.

MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg explained in a statement it was unfair and unsafe for the high school girls to play against a biological male.

Following the forfeiture, the school was banned from participating in sporting events going forward. In addition, the school was banned from participating in all VPA-sanctioned activities, not only athletics but also extracurricular competitions such as drama and debate, as well as science and math fairs.

In November 2023, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorneys filed a lawsuit against Vermont officials on behalf of the school. A district court denied the school’s injunction request that would have allowed it readmission into the VPA for all sports, so ADF appealed the case to the 2nd Circuit and,  in September 2025, the 2nd Circuit ruled in favor of Mid Vermont Christian.

Per ADF:

“The VPA likely violated Mid Vermont’s First Amendment right to free exercise of religion because its consideration of Mid Vermont’s case was not neutral,” the ruling reads.

The court went on to explain: “[the VPA] acted with hostility toward Mid Vermont’s religious beliefs. The VPA’s Executive Director publicly castigated Mid Vermont—and religious schools generally—while the VPA rushed to judgment on whether and how to discipline the school. In upholding the expulsion, the VPA doubled down on that hostility by challenging the legitimacy of the school’s religious beliefs.

And … the punishment imposed was unprecedented, overbroad, and procedurally irregular. Those facts strongly support the inference that Mid Vermont’s religious objection ‘was not considered with the neutrality that the Free Exercise Clause requires.’

Now, Fox News reports that State education agencies in Vermont have settled with the school for over $566,000.

Per Fox News:

State education agencies in Vermont have paid over $566,000 in damages and legal fees to a Christian school that was banned from all sports and academic competitions for two years after its girls’ basketball team refused to compete against a trans athlete in 2023.

A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized on Tuesday that awarded the plaintiffs, including the Mid Vermont Christian School and its law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the $566,000.

The State Department has announced it will issue a limited run of specially designed passports featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary.

Trump will be the first living president to appear on an official U.S. passport.

“As the United States celebrates America’s 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed U.S. passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told the Associated Press.

“These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the U.S. passport the most secure documents in the world,” Pigott added.

The passports will feature President Trump’s portrait on an interior page, a gold imprimatur of Trump’s signature, a redesigned passport cover with “United States of America” printed in bold gold lettering at the top and “Passport” at the bottom, and a small gold-laminated American flag on the back cover featuring the number “250” encircled by stars.

The Associated Press reports:

The only presidents featured in current U.S. passports are in a double-page depiction of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Other depictions include the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in Philadelphia, and scenes of the Great Plains, mountains and islands. Current passports also contain quotations from Martin Luther King Jr. as well as Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower.

The special passports have the same security features as normal passports and will be fully valid for international travel.

Between 25,000 and 30,000 of these limited-edition passports will be produced.

The passports will become available shortly before Independence Day 2026 and will initially be issued as the default passport for in-person applicants at the Washington, D.C., passport agency.

A State Department official told Fox News that the special passports will be available for “any American citizen” who applies for a passport during the rollout, until they run out.

Standard passports will remain available through normal channels or online.

The White House has also launched a website for all its Freedom 250 initiatives, complete with a countdown clock and a video series titled “The Story of America.”

The National Mall in DC will feature the “Great America State Fair” from June 25 through July 10. There will be a Ferris wheel and pavilions representing each state and territory.
