The Federal government is still being weaponized under Trump

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Trump Department of Justice has it out for the State of New Jersey. They’re suing the state for using state dollars to provide in-state tuition for illegal immigrants who live in the state. The DOJ claims this denies in-state tuition for U.S. citizens, which is laughably false. The DOJ is also suing the State of New Jersey for a state law that requires law…

The Obamacare marketplace is reportedly facing significant upheaval following the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies.
Cigna announced in late April that it will leave the Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges in 2027, which could further shake up the individual marketplace. CVS’ Aetna ceased offering plans and overall enrollment has declined since Congress refused to renew ACA subsidies, The Hill reported.

FBI Probing Senate Intel Democrats for Possible Classified Leaks, Spurred by NSA Criminal Referral

The FBI has opened an investigation into possible leaks of classified information by Democrats or their staffs on the Senate Intelligence Committee, spurred in part by a criminal referral from the National Security Agency concerning the release of one of its overseas intercepts, sources told Just the News.
The NSA made the referral last summer concerning reports, including one in The New York Times, earlier that year during Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation process that quoted information from an intercept of two Hezbollah terrorist figures who claimed Gabbard, during a 2017 trip to Syria, had met with the “big guy.”

Virginia Supreme Court Rules Dems’ Redistricting Ploy Unconstitutional

On Friday, Virginia’s Supreme Court struck down an effort by Democrats to violate the state’s constitution in order to turn the state’s congressional map from a one-district advantage to a 10-1 Democrat dominance.
"We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia," the Virginia Supreme Court explains in its 4-3 ruling. "This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy."
"This violation irreparably undermines the integrity of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void," the court said in its opinion.
The court found that the legislature failed to comply with procedural rules for passing a constitutional amendment, including failing to publish the amendment three months before the election and taking a second vote while early voting was already occurring, rather than waiting for an intervening election.
"This was a clear violation of the Constitution — that’s why the RNC stepped in to stop Democrats’ rigged maps and WON!" Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Joe Gruters posted on X.com, declaring the decision a “HUGE WIN FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY.”
Under the leadership of Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger, Democrats had replaced the current bipartisan commission to create a legislature-controlled map for the 2026 midterm elections, then used a special election ballot to narrowly gain approval of the lopsided map.
"The Supreme Court Ruling today affirms what we all know: you cannot violate the Constitution to change the Constitution," Virginia Senate Republican Leader Ryan McDougle said. “Every Virginian wins” because of the ruling, McDougle explained, noting the decision was based on constitutional, not partisan, concerns.
Friday’s ruling appears to be the death knell for Democrats’ efforts to ignore the state’s constitution to gerrymander districts overwhelmingly in their favor.
The state supreme court’s ruling on its own state’s constitution is final – unless Democrats can convince the U.S. Supreme to take up the case because the decision raises a federal question.
