The House is about to get one member smaller. And nobody seems to be shedding any tears. Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida is expected to be expelled from Congress as early as Monday, according to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The reason? Allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA disaster relief funds and funneling the money into her own pockets. A House Ethics subcommittee found that the panel had proven 25 of 27 counts of ethics violations against her. Twenty-five out of twenty-seven. That is not a close call. Gunther Eagleman captured the mood across conservative media: GOOD RIDDANCE!Disgraced Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is expected to be EXPELLED from the House in just 2 DAYS, according to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.This is the same crooked Florida Dem who stole $5 MILLION in FEMA disaster funds and funneled it straight into her… pic.twitter.com/IZ4K5W0bxS — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) April 19, 2026 Speaker Mike Johnson has already thrown his weight behind expulsion. He told reporters the evidence is clear: “The Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts. I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it’ll be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled.” Luna has been even more direct, posting on X that the expulsion vote is “ready to be called up on the 21st.” She told reporters she is “very confident” the votes are there. Fox News reported on the broader context of the upcoming hearing: Cherfilus-McCormick is under federal indictment over allegations that she stole $5 million from FEMA disaster funds for personal use. The House Ethics Committee will hold a public hearing on April 21 to determine what sanctions are appropriate. Expulsion requires a vote of two-thirds of the House, meaning Democratic support would be needed. But given the severity of the charges and the recent wave of resignations from members facing misconduct allegations, bipartisan support for removal appears likely. The timing here is hard to ignore. Cherfilus-McCormick’s potential expulsion comes just days after Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales both announced they would resign rather than face expulsion votes of their own. The message from Congress is getting louder: the era of looking the other way is over. Proud Elephant summed it up perfectly: NEW: Disgraced Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is expected to be EXPELLED from the House in 2 DAYS, according to Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.This comes after she was caught stealing $5M in FEMA funds. GOOD RIDDANCE! LOCK HER UP!!! pic.twitter.com/oaViIFpioK — Proud Elephant (@ProudElephant) April 19, 2026 For her part, Cherfilus-McCormick is refusing to go quietly. She has denied any wrongdoing and warned against what she calls a rush to judgment. In a statement, she said: “Those calling for my resignation or expulsion do not know, nor do they care about my district or the fight we are in right now.” The House Ethics Committee hearing is set for Monday, April 21. If the committee recommends expulsion and the full House votes in favor, Cherfilus-McCormick would become one of the very few members expelled from the House since the Civil War.What’s your perspective?

A Texas Republican just delivered one of the most devastating one-liners in recent congressional history, and Democrats still haven’t recovered. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), the youngest Republican in Congress, went head-to-head with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) during a heated hearing on immigration. The exchange quickly went viral, racking up tens of millions of views across social media and trending nationwide on X with over 47,000 posts. The moment came when Jayapal made the bold claim that immigrants from Somalia have “BUILT this country.” Gill’s response was surgical: “Name one Somali political philosopher who influenced America’s system of government.” She couldn’t. Conservative journalist Eric Daugherty captured the exchange, and it spread like wildfire: JUST IN: Rep. Brandon Gill DROPS THE MIC on unhinged Rep. Pramila Jayapal JAYAPAL: “Immigrants from Somalia [have] BUILT this country!”GILL: “Name one Somali political philosopher who influenced America’s system of government.”They can’t name ONE. pic.twitter.com/21S0m6ToPe — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) April 18, 2026 The clip has now been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, with Daugherty’s post alone pulling in over 268,000 views, 15,000 likes, and more than 3,000 retweets. The question Gill posed was simple, direct, and unanswerable. America’s founding was shaped by thinkers like John Locke, Montesquieu, and the writers of the Federalist Papers. None of them were Somali. That’s not a controversial statement. It’s a historical fact. Gill has been one of the loudest voices in Congress pushing back on what he sees as a failed immigration experiment in places like Minnesota. During a January hearing before the House Oversight Committee, Gill cited data showing that 81% of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on welfare, and that 78% of Somali immigrants who have been in the country for ten years are still receiving government assistance. Even Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) couldn’t resist piling on. He reposted the clip with a sarcastic caption that captured exactly what millions of Americans were thinking: Montesquieu = obviously Somali https://t.co/iFN0O5awX4 pic.twitter.com/qGHmvoLx1B — Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) April 18, 2026 Jayapal’s claim is part of a broader pattern from Democrats who try to rewrite American history to fit their open-borders agenda. The founding of the United States was the product of specific philosophical traditions rooted in Western political thought. Acknowledging that isn’t bigotry. It’s basic civics. Rep. Gill has introduced legislation that would place a 25-year moratorium on Somali immigration to the United States, citing the staggering welfare dependency rates and concerns about assimilation. His bill has gained significant traction among Republican voters who are fed up with being told they can’t ask basic questions about immigration policy. The viral moment is the latest in a string of confrontations where Gill has put Democrats on the spot with straightforward questions they simply cannot answer. And judging by the reaction on social media, millions of Americans are glad someone is finally asking them.How does that sound?

This is what happens when you test the United States Navy. President Trump just announced that the USS Spruance, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, intercepted the Iranian-flagged cargo ship TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman. The Navy gave the crew a fair warning to stop. They refused. So the Navy blew a hole in their engine room. You read that right. The crew of the nearly 900-foot Iranian cargo vessel decided they were going to run the U.S. blockade, and the Spruance put a stop to it in the most American way possible. U.S. Marines then boarded and took full custody of the ship. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury sanctions for a history of illegal activity, and now the military is going through everything on board.

The numbers are in, and they paint a picture that every American needs to see. A new report from the Pew Research Center reveals that nearly 1 in 10 babies born in the United States in 2023 were born to illegal immigrant or temporary visa-holding mothers. That’s 320,000 children out of roughly 3.6 million total births. It’s the highest number since 2010. The data lands at a critical moment. The Supreme Court is actively weighing the future of birthright citizenship in the landmark case Trump v. Barbara, after President Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office seeking to end automatic citizenship for children born to parents who are in the country illegally. If the Court sides with the administration, roughly 260,000 of those babies would not have qualified for citizenship under the new rules. Libs of TikTok broke the story for millions of followers: BREAKING: New data from Pew Research Center reveals nearly 10% of all U.S. births in 2023 were anchor babies— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) April 19, 2026 Here’s the breakdown: approximately 245,000 of those births were to mothers who were unauthorized immigrants, with fathers who were also non-citizens or non-permanent residents. Another 15,000 involved mothers holding temporary legal status. And 60,000 were born to illegal immigrant mothers where the father happened to be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. This isn’t a new trend, either. Back in 2006, the number hit a peak of 380,000 births. It dipped after that but has been climbing for three straight years. The 2023 figure of 320,000 represents a return to levels not seen in over a decade. Breitbart reported on the findings and what they mean for the ongoing legal battle: Under the current erroneous birthright citizenship interpretation, these children automatically become citizens and unlock food stamps, welfare, specialized schooling, and other taxpayer-funded benefits. Heritage Foundation analyst Brandy Perez Carbaugh stated: “High volumes of illegal and temporary aliens are having children in the US because they are exploiting the decades-old erroneous interpretation that such children are US citizens.” That Heritage Foundation analysis cuts right to the heart of the issue. The system as it stands creates a massive incentive. And the numbers prove people are acting on it. The story quickly gained traction across social media, with Leading Report sharing the data: ‘Anchor babies’ reach nearly 10% of all US births, according to new data, per NYP.— Leading Report (@LeadingReport) April 19, 2026 The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara on April 1, and a ruling is expected by late June or early July. If the justices uphold the president’s executive order, it would mark one of the most significant shifts in immigration policy in a generation. The 14th Amendment’s “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” clause is at the center of the debate, and the outcome could reshape who qualifies for citizenship at birth on American soil.

Happy Sunday everyone! We’re back today for another great Sunday afternoon message from our good friend Pastor Robb Goodman. Today’s message: The High Places Must Come Down! Today we will study 2 Chronicles 15. King Asa got words from the prophet of the Lord to clear out all of the idols in Israel. We will look at the great things that took place once he was obedient to the prophet’s word, the Word of God.Let’s study together the effect that this had upon the people. I believe that the Lord has instructions for all of us in this message. Pastor Robb Goodman Sr. Pastor of Zion Freedom Fellowship USA Watch here:
