Sen. Josh Hawley has sponsored a new bill, and its name is sparking conversation. The bill is the PELOSI Act, for short. The goal is to make the elected politicians more ethical, even if it is against their will.

On Monday, a House Democrat introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, kicking off a bid that has virtually no chance of succeeding in the Republican-led Congress. The impeachment resolution from Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) accuses Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors” over alleged constitutional violations related to taxpayer funds, deportations, tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, retaliation against the press, and others. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) has introduced 7 articles of impeachment against @POTUS. Alleged violations range from usurping approps. powers to dismissing criminal cases “for personal and political gain.” pic.twitter.com/qoZGNBvu2v — Sam Lisker (@slisker) April 28, 2025 “Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar said in a statement. “His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act.” In a video posted on social media, Thanedar claimed the “final straw” was Trump defying a Supreme Court ruling that the government must “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant deported to his home country of El Salvador. I have introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump. When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not “fighting for America.” He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy. pic.twitter.com/40iBTZKjkC — Congressman Shri Thanedar (@RepShriThanedar) April 28, 2025 The announcement came hours after Michigan state Rep. Donavan McKinney launched a 2026 primary campaign for the Detroit-area district against Thanedar, a 70-year-old Indian immigrant serving his second term in the House. McKinney joins former state Sen. Adam Hollier, who is challenging Thanedar for a third time, and has already received an endorsement from the leftist Justice Democrats. “People like our congressman, Shri Thanedar, are the problem,” McKinney said in an announcement video. “A multimillionaire who spent millions to buy a seat in Congress, who has more in common with Donald Trump and Elon Musk than people like us.” During his first term, Trump was impeached twice when the Democrats commanded the House. One inquiry dealt with Ukraine, and the other with January 6. Both efforts ended in acquittal by a GOP-led Senate. Because the House and Senate are now controlled by Republicans who are largely aligned with the president, Thanedar’s articles of impeachment are likely to go nowhere. That has been the case with articles of impeachment announced by Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who accused Trump of committing “dastardly deeds” in the first couple of weeks of his second term. “This is not about partisanship,” Thanedar said in his statement. “It’s about protecting our democracy and ensuring that no one, not even a President, is above the law.” Referring to what has been dubbed “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) was among those to mock the latest impeachment attempt. “It’s a day that ends in ‘-Y’, which means liberal Democrats are again trying to impeach [the president] for delivering the will of the people,” Mullin said in a post on X. “TDS is strong. MAGA is stronger.”

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Monday requiring truckers to display proficiency in English, citing road safety concerns. The move will reverse a 2016 memo from the Obama administration, which told the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that it was not required to place drivers who could not read English out of service. “President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel, and provide and receive feedback and directions in English,” a White House document first viewed by Breitbart News explains. It goes on to explain that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will be required to “rescind and replace guidance to strengthen inspection procedures for compliance with English proficiency requirements.” The impending order, which is expected to be signed at 5 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, will mandate the revision of “out-of-service criteria to ensure drivers violating English proficiency rules are placed out-of-service, enhancing roadway safety.” Representative Harriet Hageman (R-WY) and Kevin Hawley, the President of the Wyoming Trucking Association, recently called for the federal government to enforce requirements that truckers be proficient in English. “Many of our members have expressed frustration and concern over safety issues involving drivers who lack English proficiency — particularly those who are unable to read highway signs or communicate effectively during inspections or emergencies,” Hawley said, adding that the concerns are rooted in “a strong, shared commitment to safety.” Trump’s impending order comes after the 47th president signed an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States. “To promote unity, cultivate a shared American culture for all citizens, ensure consistency in government operations, and create a pathway to civic engagement, it is in America’s best interest for the Federal Government to designate one — and only one — official language,” the order asserted, adding that the decision will “reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society.”

According to data compiled by the Media Research Center, 92% of the major network media coverage — throughout the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term — has been negative. The MRC looked at coverage across the three major broadcast companies — ABC, CBS, and NBC — and set aside comments made by expressly partisan guests, whether they were in support of or opposition to the Trump administration. Instead, they only recorded “evaluative comments” made by those whose role with the networks suggests they are to behave in a non-partisan fashion: anchors, reporters, and experts. This is the same rubric by which MRC graded the bias of networks covering former President Joe Biden in 2021 and of networks covering Trump during his first term in 2017 — and based on the data, Trump’s coverage has been even more negative during his second term than it was during his first. ? BREAKING STUDY: The Trump-hating media gives President Trump 92% negative coverage in his first 100 days in office. https://t.co/fr3XUB8eWS — MRC NewsBusters (@newsbusters) April 28, 2025 “MRC analysts tallied 1,841 explicitly evaluative statements about  President Trump and his Trump administration, of which 1,698 (92.2%) were negative vs. a mere 143 (7.8%) which were positive,” the report stated, noting that the data were pulled from some 899 stories about President Trump or his administration that aired during evening news broadcasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC between January 20 and April 9. The biggest takeaway, according to the report, was the dramatic shift from the 59% positive coverage the same three networks offered former President Biden. Another change of note was the focus on policies rather than Trump’s personality, which drove the 89% negative coverage Trump received in 2017. Major story topics included tariffs (361 minutes of coverage), the Department Of Government Efficiency (310 minutes) and illegal immigration (233 minutes) — and all showcased networks that stood in opposition to Trump’s positions and policies on those issues. The data also pointed to a disparity between the way the public views President Trump and his policies — particularly with regard to illegal immigration, where recent polling indicates the majority of Americans largely favor Trump’s deportation plan. Despite that, the legacy networks’ messaging on the issue of illegal immigration has been 93% negative. Trump fared better than a few associated with his administration, however. Elon Musk and DOGE saw 96% negative coverage, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s coverage was 100% negative.
