Dem Rep Maxine Waters' Campaign Just Got
Slapped With a Fine Over Election Violations

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/2/2025 5:49:17 PM

Representative Maxine Waters' campaign has been hit with a $68,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after an investigation found that it accepted and disbursed contributions exceeding allowable amounts. The violations involved Citizens for Waters accepting $19,000 in excessive contributions from multiple individuals, exceeding the $2,800 individual limit, as well as making $7,000 worth of “prohibited cash disbursements” from a petty cash fund, all during the 2020 election cycle. The group's treasurer, referred to as the "committee" in the FEC filing, is accused of "knowingly accepting excessive contributions" and "failing to accurately report both receipts and disbursements made."

President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are to blame for Sunday’s Boulder, Colorado terror attack, according to leftist pundit Keith Olbermann, who claimed the administration’s immigration crackdown is “merely to satiate the sadism of Trump and Miller and the psychopaths who support them,” calling it a performance and “a preliminary to ethnic cleansing in this country.” On Tuesday, former sports analyst and left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann unleashed a fiery tirade against President Trump in a promo for the new episode of his Countdown podcast, claiming Trump and his allies are directly responsible for the recent terror attack in Boulder. “It is Trump’s fault, it is Stephen Miller’s fault,

Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency. Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director. Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months. Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign. Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Of the 80 people arrested, 66 individuals were illegal immigrants. Officers also arrested two confirmed "high level" cartel members, and one suspect who is wanted for murder in Honduras. Five criminal arrests were made in total. There were over 200 people in the nightclub at the time of the raid, including seven juveniles, according to Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie. The youngest minor present was thirteen years old. One juvenile found inside the club was classified as a missing person,

Democrats have been waging a full-on lawfare campaign against the Trump administration, now that they no longer control either chamber of Congress. They have filed a barrage of lawsuits challenging his policies related to immigration, the economy, and streamlining the federal government’s operations by laying off thousands of workers. During a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing titled “The Supposedly ‘Least Dangerous Branch’: District Judges v. Trump,”

Let me get this straight. Sen. Chuck Schumer, the career politician who’s been part of the Beltway furniture since “Cheers” was still on TV, is demanding an apology from Elon Musk? That’s rich. The same guy who’s spent decades helping bloat the federal government like a tick on a bloodhound now wants us to believe he’s suddenly concerned about “good governance” and “public trust.” What Chuck really means is: How dare anyone actually shrink the government, eliminate waste, or, heaven forbid, fire a few useless paper-pushers? Musk, tapped by President Trump to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has done the unthinkable in Washington: He's told the truth and trimmed the fat.

The Democrats, still reeling from a wash-out election last November, apparently had a pow-wow and decided the way to win back votes from black men, Hispanic people, and young male voters of every stripe is to continue pushing trans madness, which is akin to fighting obesity by gorging on Twinkies.

A Michigan antisemite was plotting to massacre kids at a Jewish daycare and tried to illegally buy assault weapons after hurling threats at the preschoolers, federal prosecutors have revealed. Hassan Chokr, 35, was out on bail when he drove through the parking lot of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, outside Detroit, and shouted antisemitic slurs and threats as parents dropped off their kids in December 2022, authorities said. He pleaded guilty to federal gun charges on May 28. US Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr said Chokr’s attempted gun purchase was part of what authorities believe was a larger plot “to follow through on his menacing threats against parents and preschoolers

The suspect in Sunday’s antisemitic terror attack in Colorado hoped to pull off a mass shooting, but his immigration status prevented him from buying a gun — and he now faces up to 624 years behind bars if convicted in the horror, officials said Monday. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, admitted to a detective that he initially planned on gunning down his victims, even taking a concealed-carry class where he learned how to fire a weapon, authorities said. But the Egyptian national was blocked from purchasing the weapon because his US visa had expired, Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty said at a press conference Monday afternoon in Boulder.

John Cornyn recently tried to move up the Senate Republican leadership ladder after the retirement of Mitch McConnell, eventually losing to John Thune for Majority Leader. That may not be Cornyn's last loss, according to a new poll out from UpOne Insights and GOP pollster Robert Blizzard. Texas AG Ken Paxton announced a primary challenge against the 73-year-old four-term incumbent, and Blizzard's poll of 600 registered Republican voters shows Cornyn down
