Here's a quick rundown of some of the top political stories making headlines today.
ICE Officer Assaulted in Denver
An illegal alien gang member was caught on camera assaulting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Denver, Colorado. According to reports, the individual was released back onto the streets by the sanctuary city of Denver prior to the incident. This incident has sparked renewed debate about sanctuary city policies and their impact on public safety.
This is not an isolated incident. The debate about immigration enforcement and sanctuary cities continues to rage across the country.
AOC Skips Trump's Speech, Heads to Bluesky
In other news, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced that she will be skipping the joint session of Congress where President Trump is scheduled to speak. Instead of attending the address, AOC will be "chatting" on the social media platform Bluesky. This decision has drawn criticism from some quarters, with many accusing her of disrespecting the office of the President.
“I’m not going,” AOC reportedly stated, according to Breitbart News. Her decision is seen by some as a symbolic protest against Trump's policies and rhetoric.
Moreno Slams Ohio Judges on Immigration
Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno is criticizing several judges in his state for claiming "emergency" powers allow them to overrule federal immigration laws and prevent ICE from deporting undocumented immigrants. Moreno argues that these judges are overstepping their authority and undermining federal law.
“These judges are abusing their power,” Moreno stated in a recent interview. "They cannot simply invent emergency powers to override federal law."
State Farm Under Fire for Fire Victim Claims
State Farm is facing criticism for refusing to fully compensate fire victims for personal property losses without requiring a detailed inventory list. This policy goes against the recommendation of California State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, who urged insurance companies to pay 100% of personal property coverage without such stringent requirements.
Critics argue that this practice puts an undue burden on fire victims who are already dealing with significant trauma and loss.
The Impact of Family Breakdown on Government Spending
Finally, Aaron Baer, President of the Center for Christian Virtue, argues that the breakdown of marriage and family structure is a major cause of increased government spending at both the state and federal levels. Baer made these comments during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
“When families fail, government grows,” Baer stated. He argues that strong families are essential for a healthy and fiscally responsible society.
