Payroll Costs of the Federal Swamp Exploded 24% during Biden Era
- Details
- By Mark Tapscott - The Washington Post
There were 5% more federal workers — 2.77 million in 2020 to 2.90 million in 2025 — when Joe Biden left the White House, but the costs of paying this vast legion of bureaucrats exploded 24% during the same period, according to a new report by a nonprofit government watchdog.
Much of the skyrocketing payroll costs is due to spiking paychecks going to employees making more than $100,000 annually in salary during the 2020-2024 period, according to Open the Books (OTB), the Illinois-based nonprofit that maintains the world’s largest, most current internet database of public spending:
The Shutdown’s Over. Now What?
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
The House got a lot of good-natured ribbing from the press this week when they touched down in D.C. for the first time in six weeks. “Remember,” Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan joked, “the big white building with the giant dome is the Capitol. That’s where the House floor is. We know, it’s been a while.” After a month and a half, members might’ve needed a map to their offices before heading across the street to vote. But despite the long (and ultimately pointless) hiatus, even Democrats reluctantly agreed to flip the sign on Congress to “Open.”
Confused Republicans vs Determined Democrats
- Details
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center
To truly understand the threats we are facing across the nation and how to combat them, first we must understand the who, what, when, where, and why behind the policies that are creating the national divide. What are the Democrats pushing into place, and what are Republicans doing to combat it?
The Democrats and their Leftist supporters are operating from an agenda. It is concise, detailed, all encompassing, and completely documented. They know exactly how to enforce it and will not back away no matter the defeats they experience while pushing it forward. They only become more focused and determined to assure such defeats will not happen again as the battle cry calls to keep the agenda moving forward.
Contact Your Senators NOW: Support Prohibition on Production of Delta-8
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
The cannabis industry has been a scourge on communities across the nation. Even when states have tight restrictions, the industry has created loopholes that allow it to continue reaping huge profits. One such loophole involves harvesting hemp. We are all familiar with clothing and jewelry made from hemp. Clearly, these products are not made from the intoxicating form of the plant. However, the plant itself does contain high levels of THC which can be made into a synthetic drug called Delta-8.Eagle Forum supports legislation to close the loophole to end intoxicating hemp farming. Last night, the Senate voted on an appropriations package that includes critical language finally banning the sale of hemp-derived THC products like Delta-8. However, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is trying to force a vote on his amendment to strike the Delta-8 language from the bill. That vote is almost certain to come today.
States Go Head-to-Head to Redraw House Seats before Next Year's Competitive Midterms

- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
If there’s a breakthrough on the horizon of the government shutdown, you wouldn’t know it from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) whereabouts. The Democratic leader left D.C. — and its partisan messaging wars — for a Monday jaunt in Illinois, where he hoped to make a dent in another nationwide clash: redistricting. The jaunt, which underscored the urgency both parties feel to redraw their congressional maps, is the latest push in a see-saw battle to shake up the House’s slim majority.
Pro-Lifers Warn against Abortion Drug Dangers as Pro-Abortion Group Tries to Shield Abortionists

- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
While conservatives are working to re-implement stringent safeguards around the abortion drug, progressives are preparing to make the deadly pill more readily available. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a generic brand of the abortion drug mifepristone, shocking supporters of President Donald Trump. On Tuesday night’s episode of “Washington Watch,” Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.) told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, “That was very disappointing, I’ll just be honest with you, coming out of the Trump administration.”
Fulton Ballot Hearing Cancelled, Favorito Seeks DOJ Intervention
- Details
- By Righteous PR Agency
ATLANTA — Judge Shukura Ingram abruptly cancelled a Fulton County ballot video hearing Wednesday less than 24 hours before she scheduled it to take place. The hearing on a case she held for over a year, was set last Friday morning less than two days after President Trump publicly stated he wanted to see the Fulton County 2020 votes.
The case alleges that the Fulton County Clerk Che Alexander failed to fulfill 2024 Open Records Requests (ORR) filed by Garland Favorito to obtain a copy of Fulton County 2020 ballots. The ballots were unsealed by court order in 2021. Georgia’s 2-year sealing requirement under O.C.G.A. § 21-2-500 expired in 2022. The Georgia General Assembly passed SB189 legislation in 2024 to continually make ballots public records subject to ORRs.
