Thanks to valiant efforts from on-air personalities Kasie Hunt and Kaitlan Collins, CNN managed to deliver two acts of actual journalism in the same 24-hour period — on two different topics. The first came on Monday evening from Collins, who was discussing the political hot topics of the day with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) on “The Source” and took a moment to fact-check the Texas Democrat when she played fast and loose with the context of a statement made earlier in the day by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. WATCH: Jasmine Crockett immediately runs the debunked “Trump’s main priority is the ballroom” hoax on her CNN hit. The lie is so egregious, she actually gets fact-checked by Kaitlan Collins. https://t.co/HRfeoTZ3ys pic.twitter.com/lvdp4gkuGu — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) October 28, 2025 When asked whether she thought the ongoing government shutdown was likely to end any time soon, Crockett attempted to make it look like President Donald Trump was going out of his way to prioritize other things. “The president has time to do everything but what he needs to focus on. In fact, we heard the press secretary say his main priority is the ballroom — the ballroom that no one asked for. The ballroom that requires him to destroy historic pieces of the White House. And so it doesn’t seem like he’s interested [in the shutdown],” Crockett claimed. Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters. Go to DailyWire.com/Subscribe to join now. Collins pushed back immediately, noting that Leavitt had said the ballroom was the president’s top priority — but that she had been specifically referring to construction and renovation projects at the White House. “Yeah, and that context of the comment from Karoline Leavitt, she was asked if the president was working on any other renovations when it came to the White House, and she was saying his focus was the ballroom,” Collins said. WATCH: Karoline Leavitt was asked if “the president is looking at any other renovations” at the White House? Karoline answered: “At this moment in time of course, the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.” This is how easily Democrats lie about stupid stuff. https://t.co/qGuZkvYYPV pic.twitter.com/1fBzh8sdRN — Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) October 23, 2025 Less than 24 hours later, Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) joined host Kasie Hunt to discuss the ongoing shutdown — and she pressed him repeatedly on his party’s evolving position on keeping the government shuttered in order to leverage political gains. WATCH: Ruben Gallego just got wrecked on CNN for his hypocritical stance on shutdowns reverting to a “BUT TRUMP” response: Host: “Why is it suddenly right to do it this way?” Gallego: “It’s DONALD TRUMP … it’s all out the window Casey.” There is nothing that Democrats have aside… pic.twitter.com/sZKARGLRKA — Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) October 28, 2025 “So I think my question is this, I mean, I take your point about these millions of people, the cost of living is incredibly high, but also Republicans control the White House, they control the Senate, they control the House, and in the past, Democrats, when Republicans have tried to do something like this, Democrats have argued that the norms of our government should be that you negotiate policy outside of a government shutdown,” Hunt confronted Gallego right from the start. “I mean, over many years covering Washington, people have said that over and over and over again.” “Now I have neighbors in the D.C. area who are both employed by the federal government who are having to use food banks. We are heading into Thanksgiving. Why is it suddenly right to do it this way and to do it for this long when it didn’t used to be the right way in Democrats’ view?” Hunt asked directly. “Oh, that’s an easy answer. It’s Donald Trump,” Gallego replied, spinning quickly to change the topic. “You’re talking about norms in the time of Donald Trump? It’s also normal not for you to tear down the East Wing.” Hunt did not budge: “Right, but Democrats have spent so much time arguing about how maintaining those norms is actually incredibly important in the face of Donald Trump.” “It doesn’t. It’s all out the window. It is all out of the window, Kasie,” Gallego insisted, arguing that because he and Democrats did not like what Trump was doing, they were justified in breaking rules in order to level the playing field. “No. When you’re doing this time with Donald Trump, this is the man that is extorting people. He’s literally breaking every rule. We’re not going to go back and play by the norms when we know that’s what’s on the line. What’s on the line is 24 million people are going to have their insurance rates premiums doubled. That’s a new thing, by the way. And the fact is the president and everyone expects us to play by these old norms.” “But didn’t Democrats kind of set that up in the bill that you passed, though, that these subsidies were going to expire?” Hunt was clearly not convinced. Gallego admitted that Hunt was, in fact, correct — but once again attempted to spin, blaming Republicans for not wanting to pony up billions of taxpayer dollars to fund endless subsidies, all just to rescue the Affordable Care Act they hadn’t supported in the first place. “When we passed the bills and back in the day, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, of course we were trying to maybe hope for the best that this country and our Republican colleagues would understand that raising insurance rates on people is a bad thing. I’m sorry they don’t see it that way, but it’s also not my job to make their job easier,” he said. “My job is to make sure that the premiums of 24 million Americans does not double overnight. And if it makes it harder on the Republicans that we’re putting them in a very difficult position, then they have to answer for that … But I’m not gonna abide by old norms, especially when you’re dealing with this presidency, this administration, and how the Republicans themselves have been acting.”

The Trump administration has already deported more than 527,000 illegal immigrants from the country, the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday. At the current pace, federal authorities could deport 600,000 illegal immigrants by the end of President Donald Trump’s first year in office. However, it still falls short of the Trump administration’s lofty goal of deporting one million illegal immigrants each year. Last month, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told The Daily Wire that the agency can still make that happen with its push for illegal immigrants to “self-deport.” The Trump administration is offering a $1,000 bonus and free flights home to those who choose to leave on their own. Roughly 1.6 million illegal immigrants have already self-deported, according to DHS. “I think we’re going to see our number, definitely with the CBP Home app and those that decided to leave on their own,” Lyons said. Assistant Homeland Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said it’s “just the beginning.” “President Trump and Secretary Noem have jumpstarted an agency that was hamstrung and barred from doing its job for the last four years,” McLaughlin said. “In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges and threats to law enforcement, DHS, ICE and CBP, have not just closed the border, but made historic strides to carry out President Trump’s promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country,” McLaughlin said. “Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence: Migrants are now turning back before they even reach our borders. Migration through Panama’s Darien Gap is down 99.99%.” The latest deportation numbers come amid a major leadership change at ICE, led by Homeland Security senior adviser Corey Lewandowski, sources recently told The Daily Wire. Several ICE offices across the country will now be led by officials poached from Border Patrol. The shake-up exposed an internal skirmish between DHS senior adviser Corey Lewandowski and Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan and acting ICE Director Todd Lyons over the mass deportation targets, sources said. Homan and Lyons want more criminals arrested, while Lewandowski is only concerned with increasing numbers.

'didn't Democrats kind of set that up'

“In the absence of sufficient contemporaneous documentation indicating that cognitively deteriorating President Biden himself made a given executive decision, such decisions do not carry the force of law and should be considered void.” That was what a major report released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee concluded about former President Joe Biden’s autopen usage during his presidency. The report on Biden’s mental acuity while in office and his autopen use was spearheaded by committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Tenn. The committee’s report notes that the Biden administration “left no record demonstrating President Biden himself made all of the executive decisions that were attributed to him.” It seems Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans agree with the committee’s conclusions. Speaker Johnson: EVERY Executive Action Signed by the Autopen Without Written Authorization from Biden Should Be Voided"James Comer released a blockbuster report now on the Biden autopen presidency… revealing that every executive action signed by the autopen without written… https://t.co/wyArn72Gz5 pic.twitter.com/0l2S29xjck— Mr Producer (@RichSementa) October 28, 2025 The conclusions about Biden’s executive decisions being “void” means there will soon be a very serious legal challenge to the orders Biden gave, but didn’t verify, while in office. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X that her office has “already initiated a review” of Biden’s autopen usage and thanked Comer for his detailed report. My team has already initiated a review of the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons.@RepJamesComer’s new information is extremely helpful, and his leadership on this issue is invaluable. We’ll continue working with @GOPoversight to deliver accountability…— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) October 28, 2025 To a certain extent the Oversight Committee has simply confirmed what most Americans already knew. That is, Biden was clearly in severe mental and physical decline from the time he was elected and struggled to handle the basic duties of office. One didn’t need to be a doctor or have insider information to know that. It was obvious nearly every time he made a public appearance. What the report has done is shine a light on some of the inner workings of the Biden White House. The report paints a damning picture—one could even call it a conspiracy—of how Biden’s aides, both formal and informal, manipulated their position to secure executive orders, pardons, and clemencies that the president may have had no knowledge of. In one example of how decisions were made in the White House the report highlighted the process that led to a series of pardons as Biden was leaving office. Among these pardons were Biden family members, including his son, Hunter. Biden had said earlier in his presidency that he wouldn’t pardon his son. The Oversight Committee report says that no official documentation exists regarding how the pardon judgments were made. Instead, the decision to grant these pardons was handed down by “second hand” to the second in command under Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients, Rosa Po. After receiving the list, Po called Zients “who verbally authorized the use of the autopen from home.” The report said that Zients “did not even know who actually used the autopen to apply the signature after his aide, using his email account with his permission, communicated that the autopen was authorized for the clemency actions.” Zients allegedly went ahead with the autopen pardons without confirming anything with the president. It couldn’t be clearer now that Biden was simply the figurehead of a deep state presidency. His handlers generally made sure to keep him out of the spotlight as much as possible while the executive apparatus went on autopilot. Court intrigue rather than individual decision making by the man elected by the American people was how business was done. Biden ate ice cream, doled out gifts to family members, and occasionally came out of cold storage to wave to crowds and assure the people he was alive. Funny given the tenor of the current so-called “No Kings” protests aimed at President Donald Trump. Biden’s final days certainly seemed a lot more like late-stage monarchy to me. The Oversight Committee report brings up another potential long-term issue. While it’s unlikely that the United States will soon again experiment with putting a man in steep mental decline in the president’s office, it’s not impossible that a situation of a missing in action president might arise again in the future. Given the immense power the executive branch wields, it would perhaps be wise to regularize the process by which executive actions are verified. As John Harrison, a constitutional professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, said at a Senate hearing about Biden’s autopen usage, Congress has the power to oversee whether the president’s orders are actually being given by the man who was elected to office. Perhaps it’s time Congress regularizes that. Better yet, it may be wise to simply disallow autopen usage in the future. The autopen business remains a big deal because it’s tied to one of the most significant scandals in American presidential history: the coverup and denial of the Biden’s mental decline while in office. Because of this coverup the American people can’t be certain that official acts by the president were his acts at all, so we’ve been thrown into an unprecedented legal situation of deciding what he did that was valid and what was potentially “void.” It’s easy to see why the Democratic Party and their media enablers who helped cover up Biden’s decline remain so deeply unpopular with the American people.

Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears attacked her Democrat opponent, Abigail Spanberger, for prioritizing the climate policies of environmental groups that contributed to her campaign, rather than an all-of-the-above energy plan. “Abigail Spanberger has sold out Virginians to the highest bidder,” Peyton Vogel, Earle-Sears’ press secretary, told The Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday. “She’s taken millions from green special interests who want to force Virginia back into [the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative] and drive up energy costs for working families.” “Winsome Earle-Sears can’t be bought,” Vogel added. “She stands for Virginia families, for an all-of-the-above affordable energy approach, and for doing what’s right rather than what’s politically convenient.” Spanberger is running on lowering costs for Virginians, promising last month that she “will be laser-focused on bringing costs down for families.” Yet she advocates policies that would arguably increase prices, such as returning to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and achieving the goals of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, a 2020 law that requires Virginia’s utility companies—Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power Company—to shift to renewable energy by 2045 (for Dominion) and 2050 (for Appalachian). The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, an inter-state agreement, charges power plants for emissions and uses the money to prop up renewable energy. Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, attempted to exit the initiative, calling it a “hidden tax” on electricity. Virginia’s withdrawal remains in limbo after judge blocked it. The administration has a stay, allowing Spanberger has pledged to rejoin it. Constricting Choices “All these policies will do is constrict our energy choices while having no meaningful impact on the climate,” Kevin Dayaratna, director of Heritage’s Center for Data Analysis, told The Daily Signal. He said the Center for Data Analysis “looked at these policies at the federal level during the Biden administration using the government’s own models and found the result would be over $7 trillion in lost GDP over a 20-year time horizon, with less than two-tenths of one degree Celsius impact by the end of the century.” “Spanberger would apply these inane policies to Virginians while having an even more trifling impact on the climate,” Dayaratna added. Center of the American Experiment economists estimated the Virginia Clean Economy Act will cost an extra $3,500 per customer by 2045. After the law’s passage, Virginia’s electricity imports from out of state rose from 18% in 2020 to 40% in 2024. “Spanberger says she is committed to wind, solar, and grid batteries,” Steve Milloy, a senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, told The Daily Signal. “This means she is committed to ever-higher electricity prices.” “In Congress, she voted for the inflationary Green New Scam and generally supported President Joe Biden’s policies that sent gasoline prices through the roof,” Milloy added. Follow the Money The Virginia League of Conservation Voters gave Spanberger for Governor $1.38 million, and the Clean Virginia Fund contributed $700,000, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. “Spanberger is the only candidate in this race who will prioritize Virginians over big corporations by ensuring we meet the moment with clean, affordable energy and work to make electricity more affordable for Virginians instead of doubling down on dirty, expensive energy sources that line corporate polluter pockets by keeping our bills high,” Lee Francis, a spokesman for the Virginia League of Conservation Voters, told The Daily Signal. Francis said the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative “has a proven track record of lowering energy costs by incentivizing clean, and affordable energy sources over volatile coal and gas.” He claimed the programs receiving initiative funds “have a high return on investment,” preparing communities to face flooding and cutting energy costs “with programs that weatherize homes and make them more efficient.” He claimed that “increased fuel costs and infrastructure costs related to transmission and distribution, mostly to feed large energy-hungry data centers, are the largest drivers of bill increases in Virginia—not clean energy and not the [Virginia Clean Economy Act].” Clean Virginia, meanwhile, attacks the Old Dominion’s public utility companies, aiming to fight for “clean government and clean energy by fighting utility monopoly corruption.” “Abigail Spanberger’s plan for energy abundance focuses on investing in clean technologies, the only resources that can come online quickly, improve reliability, and lower costs for consumers,” Clean Virginia Executive Director Brennan Gilmore told The Daily Signal. “Clean Virginia supports her leadership to build an affordable, reliable and forward-looking energy system.” RGGI Negatives Glenn Davis, director of the Virginia Department of Energy under Youngkin, told The Daily Signal that RGGI cost Virginians $828 million, “every dollar of which was passed on to Virginians in their energy bills.” He said other states use RGGI funds to offset ratepayers’ energy bills, since the program increases costs for consumers, but Virginia Democrats used the money to fund other projects, such as the flooding preparation Francis mentioned. Davis also criticized the Virginia Clean Economy Act. The act requires companies like Dominion to buy renewable energy credits if they can’t produce enough renewable energy themselves. Earlier this year, Dominion estimated it would have to buy $5.5 billion of renewable energy credits in the next ten years in order to make benchmarks. Dominion Energy Responds “For nearly 20 years, our electricity prices have remained below the national average,” Aaron Ruby, a spokesman for Dominion Energy, told The Daily Signal. “Our prices are currently 8% below the national average, and we expect that will continue in the coming years.” Ruby said Dominion proposed a price increase earlier this year “due to significant increases in the cost of fuel for our power plants and for equipment such as utility poles, wires, cables, and transformers.” These inflationary pressures have impacted the entire economy. He also referenced a recent Washington Post article highlighting the various reasons energy costs are increasing—and noting that the proliferation of data centers plays only a very small role in price hikes. Ruby countered Clean Virginia’s attacks by saying Dominion participates in the political process “on behalf of our customers and employees.” He said the company contributes to candidates of both parties “in support of bipartisan, common sense energy policy.” Karen Wissing, a communications consultant at Appalachian Power Company, also noted that her company “faces higher interest rates and inflation, which have increased and are continuing to increase the cost of generating and delivering power.” “The company recognizes the need to provide safe, affordable electricity and works every day to keep bills as low as possible,” Wissing added. She noted that Virginian customers can expect an approximately $10 decrease in fuel costs on Nov. 1, and she referenced the company’s request with the Virginia State Corporate Commission, which could result in additional savings of approximately $11.44. Wissing also mentioned that Appalachian offers energy efficiency programs. The Spanberger campaign did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.
