Dems Revolt Against Chuck Schumer, Side with Trump - Senate Will Vote YES
WASHINGTON D.C. — In a stunning blow to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the radical progressive wing of the Democratic Party, Senator John Fetterman has announced he will vote YES to fund the Department of Homeland Security, effectively siding with President Trump’s law and order agenda.
The Pennsylvania Democrat’s decision effectively kills the far-left’s attempt to stage a revolt against ICE funding, signaling that even some Democrats are realizing that "abolishing ICE" is political suicide. Fetterman rejected frantic pleas from members of his own party, raising serious questions about Schumer's ability to control his caucus.
FETTERMAN REJECTS "DEFUND ICE" MANIA
Fetterman’s statement on Monday came amidst a coordinated pressure campaign by all seven Democratic members of the U.S. House from Pennsylvania. Led by Rep. Chris Deluzio—a potential 2028 primary challenger—the group sent a formal letter demanding Fetterman oppose the funding unless radical "reforms" were included.
Rep. Brendan Boyle, another potential rival, claimed ICE is "operating like a lawless, out-of-control agency" and declared, "We cannot send it another blank check."
Fetterman, however, refused to take the bait. "I reject the calls to defund or abolish ICE," Fetterman said bluntly. While he criticized specific tactics used in the recent Minneapolis operation and called for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s firing, he drew a hard line in the sand regarding the budget.
"I will never vote to shut our government down, especially our Defense Department," Fetterman stated. He correctly noted that a partial shutdown wouldn't even defund ICE, pointing out that the agency already received $178 billion from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, legislation he opposed but now acknowledges as the law of the land.
HOUSE DEMS MELTDOWN
The split exposes a deep fracture within the Pennsylvania Democratic delegation. Progressives like Rep. Summer Lee and establishment figures like Rep. Madeleine Dean are now openly at war with their state’s senior senator. They argue that "funding without adequate reform risks endorsing current approaches," but their threats have fallen on deaf ears in the Senate.
Fetterman’s refusal to play games with national security aligns him closer to his Republican counterpart, Senator Dave McCormick. McCormick reaffirmed his support for Border Patrol and ICE on Sunday, though he did call for a "full investigation" into the death of armed protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
TRUMP WINS AGAIN
For President Trump and Senate Republicans, Fetterman’s defiance is a major victory. It ensures that the Senate will vote YES to keep the lights on at DHS, allowing immigration enforcement to continue unabated.
The "Revolt" against Schumer is real. As the Senate prepares to vote, it is clear that the radical left’s stranglehold on the Democratic Party is slipping, and common sense—at least on the issue of funding the government—is prevailing. Fetterman may wear a hoodie, but on this vote, he’s wearing the jersey of law enforcement.
New Video in Alex Pretti Shooting Shows TRUTH - Liberal Narrative Destroyed
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The liberal narrative surrounding Alex Pretti, the VA nurse touted by the media as a "peaceful legal observer" before being shot by Border Patrol agents, has been shattered by a bombshell new video.
Released by The News Movement on Wednesday, the footage from January 13—just days before his death—shows an unhinged Pretti spitting at federal agents, destroying government property, and openly carrying a firearm in his waistband.
The shocking video directly contradicts the image of the "kindly, gentle nurse" painted by Democrats and the mainstream media. Instead, it depicts a violent agitator terrorizing law enforcement officers who were simply trying to do their jobs.
SPITTING, KICKING, AND A GUN
The footage captures a man, confirmed by Pretti's own family to be Alex Pretti, launching a chaotic assault on a federal SUV. He is seen yelling profanities, flashing both middle fingers, and violently kicking the vehicle's taillight until it shatters.
As agents exit the vehicle to subdue him, Pretti resists, forcing them to take him to the ground. But the most chilling moment comes after he stands up. As he steps away from the agents, what appears to be a firearm is clearly visible in his waistband.
Rather than leaving the scene, Pretti remained with the mob, continuing to scream obscenities at the officers. This behavior raises serious questions: Was Pretti already known to federal agents as an armed and dangerous threat long before the fatal encounter on January 24?
TRUMP REACTS: "SUCH A PEACEFUL PROTESTER"
The reaction from the right was swift and vindicated. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to mock the media's coverage, sarcastically posting, "Such a peaceful protester."
Donald Trump Jr. echoed the sentiment on X, writing, "Just a peaceful legal observer," while commentator Tim Pool asked, "Could he have been known to the agents... Known violent extremist, armed, violent, actively resisting?"
Others were more blunt. "Now we know that Alex Pretti was not a kindly gentle nurse… he was a CRIMINAL!!! An ARMED, VIOLENT, DANGEROUS, UNHINGED criminal," wrote Matt Van Swol.
FAMILY SPIN CONTROL
Facing irrefutable video evidence, Pretti’s family and their attorney, Steve Schleicher, attempted to spin the incident as an attack on Pretti. "A week before Alex was gunned down... he was violently assaulted by a group of ICE agents," Schleicher claimed, ignoring the video evidence of Pretti destroying federal property and spitting at officers.
While the investigation into the January 24 shooting continues, this new footage establishes a pattern of violent, armed resistance that the media can no longer ignore. Alex Pretti was not just an observer; he was an active combatant against federal law enforcement.
Trump Warns New York Mayor-Elect Mamdani: ‘We’ll Have To Arrest Him’
Trump Warns New York Mayor-Elect Mamdani: ‘We’ll Have To Arrest Him’
President Donald Trump on Wednesday addressed sharp criticism from Zohran Mamdani, who defeated disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, ordered the president during his fiery victory speech to “turn the volume up.”
“I think it’s a very dangerous statement for him to make,” Trump told Fox News host Bret Baier. “He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington, because if he’s not, he doesn’t have a chance of succeeding. And I want to make him succeed.” He quickly clarified, “I want to make the city succeed, I don’t want to make him succeed.”
Trump has frequently attacked the progressive candidate throughout his campaign, which focused on affordable housing and expanding social safety nets. Mamdani faced racist attacks from critics before defeating Cuomo, whom Trump had endorsed.
In his victory speech Tuesday, Mamdani called Trump a “despot” who has “betrayed” the nation. He urged his supporters to use their votes and voices to “stop the next Trump” by “dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.”
“I thought it was a very angry speech,” Trump told Baier. “Certainly angry toward me, and I think he should be nice to me. I’m sort of the one that has to approve a lot of things coming to him, so he’s off to a bad start.”
Supporters countered that Mamdani, 34, is off to a great start as the first Muslim and South Asian mayor in city history, and its youngest in more than a century.
“Look, for thousands of years communism has not worked. Communism, or the concept of communism, has not worked. I tend to doubt it will work this time,” Trump said. He added that he was “torn” by Mamdani’s win due to his “love” for New York City, saying he “would like to see the new mayor do well.”
When asked if he’s thought about reaching out, Trump replied, “I would say he needs to reach out to us, really. I’m here. We’ll see what happens, but I would think it would be more appropriate for him to reach out to us.”

In June, when asked about Mamdani’s vow to “stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors,” Trump said, “Well then, we’ll have to arrest him.”
“Look, we don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation,” Trump added.
Trump Admin Wildly Surpasses Biden Energy Record In Matter of Months
The White House marked the one-year anniversary of the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) on Saturday, February 14, 2026, touting a massive surge in U.S. energy production that has fundamentally reshaped the global market in just over twelve months.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who chairs the Council alongside Energy Secretary Chris Wright, presented data showing that U.S. output has not only eclipsed the previous administration’s peaks but has done so at a pace federal officials are calling "unprecedented."
Record-Breaking Production Levels
The administration's "Energy Dominance" agenda, codified by executive order exactly one year ago, has driven U.S. crude oil production to a record 13.6 million barrels per day in 2025. By comparison, it took the Biden administration nearly four years to move production from 11.3 million to 13.2 million barrels—a threshold the current administration cleared in its first few months.
Natural gas output has seen a similar vertical climb. In November 2025, production reached 110.1 billion cubic feet per day, the highest level since federal tracking began in 1973. This represents an 8% increase over the previous administration's average.
“Gasoline prices have fallen to some of the lowest levels in years, permitting has been streamlined, and American energy exports are surging,” Secretary Burgum told Fox News Digital. “These achievements mean real savings for families, farmers, and small businesses.”
Surging Global Influence and LNG Exports
The U.S. has significantly widened its lead as the world’s premier liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter. Average LNG exports rose to 15.1 billion cubic feet per day in 2025, a sharp jump from the 11.9 billion recorded in late 2024.
This surge is credited to the Council's aggressive focus on "unleashing" American resources through:
Regulatory Rollbacks: Modernizing financial risk evaluations to free up billions for offshore exploration.
Permitting Speed: The Department of the Interior has approved 63.7% more Federal and Indian drilling permits compared to the previous administration over the same period.
Infrastructure Investment: New agreements with a bipartisan group of governors to advance over $15 billion in power-generation projects.

The Economic Impact: Addressing Affordability
A central pillar of the NEDC's mission is to use energy abundance as a tool against inflation. While recent Middle East tensions have caused temporary spikes in crude prices, the administration maintains that the expanded domestic grid and increased output are the only long-term solutions to lowering transportation and grocery costs.
Secretary Burgum reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to "conservation abundance," arguing that environmental stewardship and fossil fuel development are not mutually exclusive. As the U.S. enters the second year of this policy, the White House expects to export four billion more cubic feet of natural gas per day than in 2024—a 33% increase.
