Austin Shooting Spree Suspect Identified As Illegal Alien Wanted By ICE

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Residents in the Austin, Texas area were forced to shelter in place last weekend, as reports of multiple shootings flooded in across the region. By the time the dust settled, the Austin Police Department had identified at least three suspects connected to as many as 12 shootings. Two of those shootings targeted fire stations in South Austin. At least four people were reported injured.

This is the kind of chaos that President Trump has been warning about for years. And sure enough, the details that emerged in court made the left’s open border obsession look even more reckless than usual.

Police announced that 17-year-old Cristian Mondragon has been charged with six felonies, with additional charges still possible. Those charges include two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, two counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, theft of firearms, and evading arrest with a motor vehicle. The two remaining suspects are minors and will be processed through the juvenile system.

Here’s where things get particularly interesting. While in court, prosecutors noted that Mondragon is not a U.S. citizen and currently has an ICE hold on him.

Criminal Defense and Immigration Attorney Robert Jimenez acknowledged the significance, stating, “The ICE detainer does add an extra component to his process.” Prosecutors argued Mondragon poses a clear danger to the community and could potentially be deported if released. The judge agreed, ordering him held without bond on the aggravated assault charges.

Jimenez did clarify that the detainer doesn’t immediately transfer jurisdiction to federal authorities, explaining, “That would only kick in once he is no longer authorized to be held by state custody.”

So to summarize: an individual who had no legal right to be in this country allegedly participated in a shooting rampage that terrorized an entire Texas city, injured multiple people, and targeted fire stations. And yet, we’re still having a national debate about whether immigration enforcement is too aggressive.

This is precisely the scenario conservatives have been raising red flags about for years while being dismissed, called xenophobic, and lectured about compassion. The people of Austin weren’t asking philosophical questions about border policy when they were sheltering in place last weekend. They were just trying to stay alive.

Every Democrat politician who has worked to obstruct ICE, defund enforcement, or create sanctuary policies owns a piece of stories like this one. Every single one of them.

“I’M DISGUSTED!” — Rep. Tim Burchett TORCHES Spineless Republicans For Cutting Deal With Democrats Behind Closed Doors (VIDEO)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – If you want to know why so many conservatives are pulling their hair out over the Republican Party’s performance in Washington, look no further than what happened when Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett walked out of a House committee meeting recently and absolutely unloaded on his own leadership.

Burchett, one of the most reliably outspoken voices in the entire House, didn’t mince a single word. The Tennessee Republican tore into what he described as “crooked” Washington establishment figures within his own party, members of Republican leadership who, in his view, keep cutting backroom deals with Democrats that effectively hand majority power straight to the radical left.

Let that sink in for a moment. Republicans hold the majority. They have the gavel. They won the election. And yet, according to Burchett, certain members of GOP leadership are behaving as though none of that actually happened. They are more interested in keeping the peace with Chuck Schumer’s crowd than delivering on the agenda that tens of millions of American voters sent them to Washington to fight for.

President Trump won reelection precisely because the American people are done with weak-kneed politicians who treat the majority as a courtesy to be shared rather than a mandate to be executed. Voters didn’t send Republicans to Washington to negotiate away their own power. They sent them there to secure the border, rein in government spending, protect American energy, and dismantle the radical progressive agenda that spent years dismantling this country.

Tim Burchett gets that. The question is whether enough of his colleagues do before the 2026 midterms arrive and Republican voters decide they’ve had enough of being let down by the very people they elected to represent them.

The GOP has a majority and a president in the White House who is ready to fight. It’s time to act like it.

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard Resigns As Director Of National Intelligence

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Tulsi Gabbard has announced her resignation as Director of National Intelligence to be with her husband, Abraham, who has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.

Gabbard personally notified President Trump of her decision during a meeting in the Oval Office on Friday. Her last day at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is expected to be June 30.

In her resignation letter, Gabbard wrote plainly and from the heart. “Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer.”

She noted that Abraham “faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months,” and made clear that her place right now is beside him. “At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,” she wrote.

Gabbard has had a fascinating and genuinely impressive career. A former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii who served multiple terms, she made a dramatic political evolution over the years, ultimately aligning herself with President Trump’s America First movement. Trump tapped her to lead the intelligence community, a role she took on with the same directness and backbone she brought to everything else in her career. She was confirmed by the Senate and quickly became one of the more prominent and outspoken members of the administration.

Her departure leaves a significant vacancy at one of the most critical positions in the federal government, and President Trump will need to move swiftly to identify a capable successor.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Abraham and the entire Gabbard family during this incredibly difficult time.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger Signs Executive Order BANNING ICE From Polling Places (VIDEO)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Virginia’s freshly inaugurated Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has wasted absolutely no time making her priorities crystal clear. On Wednesday, Spanberger signed Executive Order 16, a directive aimed at limiting the activities of federal ICE agents on state property, including schools, hospitals, courthouses, and, most eyebrow-raisingly, polling places.

The order was issued in response to what the Governor describes as “increased and aggressive” ICE activity across the Commonwealth. She insists the executive order will “strengthen public safety” and “reaffirm federal law enforcement accountability.” Which is a remarkable way of describing an order that actively works to keep federal law enforcement at arm’s length.

Now, Democrats have told us repeatedly, loudly, passionately, and with great indignation, that illegal aliens are not voting in American elections. It’s against the law, they remind us. Can’t happen. Doesn’t happen. Stop asking.

So here’s a question that apparently nobody in the mainstream media is too eager to pursue: if illegals aren’t voting, why on earth is a Democrat governor signing executive orders to keep immigration enforcement agents away from polling locations? What is it about the combination of “ICE” and “voting booth” that causes such alarm on the left? Asking for roughly 330 million Americans.

Republican commentator John Reid had no trouble identifying what’s really going on here. “Governor Spanberger just continues to send the wrong message to everyone across the Commonwealth,” Reid said plainly.

He continued, “She needs to be demanding that everyone agree that we’re all going to obey the law, no matter where you are. This decision that she has made since her inauguration to try to blur the lines and act like ICE is somehow illegitimate is not helping law enforcement, and quite frankly it’s not helping the citizens of Virginia.”

He’s right on every count. Spanberger is a former CIA officer and congresswoman who flipped her suburban Richmond district blue and rode a wave of anti-Trump sentiment to the governor’s mansion. She now governs a state that is increasingly purple, and her early moves suggest she intends to govern from the hard left.

The core issue here is straightforward. Either illegal immigrants are voting, in which case this order serves an obvious and deeply troubling purpose, or they aren’t, in which case this order is completely unnecessary political theater designed to antagonize the federal government and score points with the activist base.

Neither explanation reflects well on the Governor.

Democrats are not interested in election integrity. They are not interested in honest outcomes. What they are interested in is power: acquiring it, keeping it, and engineering whatever conditions make that possible. Virginia residents who care about free and fair elections should be watching Spanberger very closely.

Texas Democrat Candidate Calls For ‘American Zionists’ To Be Rounded Up, Sent To Internment Camps

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – If you needed any further proof that the radical left has completely lost the plot, look no further than Texas. Maureen Galindo, the Democrat who somehow secured enough votes to advance to a primary runoff for the state’s newly redrawn 35th Congressional District, is now facing serious backlash over a collection of social media posts.

Let’s start with the numbers. Galindo advanced to the runoff with approximately 29% of the vote. Roughly three in ten Texas Democrats looked at this candidate and said “yes, that’s our person.” That alone should tell you something about where a segment of that party’s base currently stands.

Now for the substance, and we use that word loosely. In a recent Instagram post, Galindo laid out her legislative vision with remarkable candor. “When Maureen gets into Congress, she’ll write legislation so that all Zionism and support of Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-Semitic, since it’s Zionists harming the Semites,” she wrote, referring to herself in the third person, which is always a great sign in a political candidate.

It gets significantly worse from there. “She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officials for human trafficking,” the post continued. She then added, “(It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists).”

@maureenforcongress/Instagram

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin flagged the posts, noting, “Maureen Galindo, a Democrat running for Congress in TX-35, says in an Instagram post that she would turn an ICE detention center near San Antonio ‘into a prison for American Zionists’, and will also use it as a castration processing center for pedophiles, ‘which will probably be most of the Zionists.'” Melugin added pointedly, “Yes, it’s real, and yes the post is still up. She has a runoff election next week.”

Galindo’s social media history reveals a consistent pattern of anti-Zionist rhetoric, including claims of a “cabal of Jewish zionists” controlling Hollywood, the media, and politicians, talking points that have no place in mainstream American political discourse, let alone coming from someone seeking a seat in the United States Congress.

She has also accused her own runoff opponent, Johnny Garcia, of involvement in a human trafficking conspiracy allegedly orchestrated by “billionaire Zionist Jews.”

When pressed for comment by the San Antonio Current, Galindo claimed she only takes issue with “zionists or those advocating for the existence of a Jewish state in their ancestral homeland,” rather than Jewish people broadly. A distinction she apparently believes makes internment camp proposals perfectly reasonable.

This is today’s Democratic Party on full display. Take note and make sure everyone you know does too.

‘OUR GOAL IS TO BREAK THEM!’ — Hakeem Jeffries Declares WAR On Trump Voters (VIDEO)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries recently pulled back the curtain on the Democratic Party’s grand vision for America. Spoiler alert: it has absolutely nothing to do with the border, the economy, or any other issue the American people care about. No, Jeffries had something far more inspiring in mind. Speaking at a recent event, the top House Democrat declared that when it comes to the tens of millions of Americans who voted for President Donald Trump, “our goal is to break them.”

This is the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, standing before an audience, and openly declaring that his mission is to “break” his fellow citizens, not persuade them, not earn their votes, not address their concerns, but break them. Truly the stuff of great statesmanship.

What makes this even richer is the setting. Jeffries delivered this gem at the Center for American Progress “IDEAS” summit. IDEAS. The word was literally printed on the wall behind him, which must have been deeply uncomfortable for a man who clearly doesn’t have any. Neither does anyone else in his party, for that matter.

This is one of the most consistent and damning criticisms of today’s Democratic Party, they bring absolutely nothing constructive to the table. No fresh policy solutions, no economic vision, no serious proposals to improve the daily lives of working Americans. What they do offer, in seemingly unlimited supply, is outrage, protests, and an obsessive hatred of Donald Trump that has apparently become their entire platform and reason for existing.

Jeffries wasn’t standing there saying, “Here is how we will make your life better.” He wasn’t outlining a path to lower inflation, safer streets, or stronger national security. He was talking about breaking the people who dared to vote differently than he preferred.

Conservatives should pay close attention to this kind of rhetoric, because it tells you everything you need to know about what a Democrat-controlled House would look like after the 2026 midterms. Anyone who lived through the four years following Trump’s first election victory already knows the playbook by heart: investigations, obstruction, chaos, and zero governing. A greatest hits album nobody asked for.

The Democrats have spent years positioning themselves as the party of compassion, tolerance, and unity. Yet here stands their top House leader, publicly stating his goal is to “break” roughly half the country.

The mask slips a little more every day. And the American people are paying attention.

YOU’RE FIRED: Trump-Backed Gallrein DEFEATS Massie In Kentucky — Trump Can’t Resist Gloating

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – President Donald Trump has made it crystal clear since returning to the White House that disloyalty has a price tag and Thomas Massie just got the bill.

On Tuesday evening, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie lost his primary election to Trump-endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein, the latest casualty in what has become one of the biggest political house cleanings conservatives have witnessed in years. Trump’s RINO revenge tour is rolling, and it is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.

Earlier during the day, Trump came out swinging on X, making sure everyone knew exactly where he stood on Massie. “Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country,” Trump posted.

He wasn’t done. “I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump continued.

Both Decision Desk and the Associated Press called the race for Gallrein. Massie’s congressional career, for all intents and purposes, is cooked.

For those keeping score at home, this is far from an isolated incident. Trump launched his RINO purge campaign earlier this year with a simple mission: reward loyalty, punish betrayal. The results have been remarkably effective. Several Indiana state senate RINOs were recently shown the door after refusing to redraw their state’s congressional map the way voters demanded. On Saturday night, RINO Senator Bill Cassidy also lost his primary. The pattern is unmistakable.

Massie, for his part, had a long and complicated history with Trump. The Kentucky congressman was a frequent thorn in the side of Republican leadership, often voting against party priorities and positioning himself as a libertarian-leaning independent voice. While some conservatives admired his willingness to buck the establishment, Trump clearly saw him as more of an obstacle than an asset and Tuesday’s results suggest Kentucky Republican primary voters agreed.

Trump celebrated the Gallrein victory Tuesday night, and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung had a pointed message ready for any remaining RINOs who might be wondering if they’re next.

Seattle Democrat Who Backed Socialist Mayor Now Freaking Out Over Vanishing Businesses (VIDEO)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Seattle’s brand-new socialist Mayor Katie Wilson thought it was all one big joke. A few weeks ago, when the topic of millionaires packing their bags and fleeing the city over her shiny new tax hikes came up, she laughed it off like someone had told her a knock-knock joke at a dinner party. Hilarious, right? Well, the punchline is arriving faster than she expected, and nobody’s laughing now.

Wilson, who took office earlier this year, wasted no time making clear where her loyalties lie: with the ideology of tax-and-spend governance that has hollowed out cities across America. Her approach? Soak the wealthy, redistribute the proceeds, and watch the utopia bloom. What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently, everything.

Less than five months into her term, the reality of basic economics is already knocking on Seattle’s door. Democratic City Councilmember Rob Saka, who by all accounts welcomed Wilson’s radical vision with open arms, is now singing a very different tune. Saka admitted to the New York Times, “I am gravely concerned,” adding, “This is real.”

Well, Rob, welcome to the party. Conservatives have been saying this for years.

The uncomfortable question now hanging over Seattle like a rain cloud is this: who exactly is going to fund the socialist utopia when all the wealthy residents and businesses have relocated somewhere that doesn’t treat success like a punishable offense?

Even Wilson herself appears to be scrambling for the brakes, attempting damage control as the consequences of her own rhetoric begin to materialize. Here’s the problem with that strategy — you can’t unring that bell. The wealthy aren’t waiting around to find out how bad it gets. They have options, accountants, and moving trucks.

Seattle is walking straight into the same trap that snared New York City, San Francisco, and every other progressive-run municipality that decided the golden goose was inexhaustible. Spoiler alert: it isn’t. When you tax and vilify your highest earners, they leave. When they leave, so does the tax revenue. And when the revenue disappears, the services that the socialist agenda promised become impossible to deliver.

The people of Seattle are about to receive a very expensive education in Economics 101, a course, it seems, their mayor skipped entirely.

“Human Chop Shop” — Iowa Hospital Facing Disgusting Claims That It Illegally Harvested Veteran’s Body Parts

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Martin Gillespie was a 69-year-old United States Air Force veteran, a loving father of three, and a grandfather of eight. By all accounts, he was exactly the kind of man this country was built by and built for. He died on April 1 at Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital in Missouri Valley, Iowa. What happened after his death is deeply disturbing.

According to a federal lawsuit filed by his daughters, Christina Gubbels and Daun Stoddard, hospital staff harvested Gillespie’s organs, skin, eyes, and tissue on the very same day he was pronounced dead, without his prior consent, without any authorization from his next of kin, and apparently without even picking up a phone to call his children.

The lawsuit, obtained by Law & Crime, states plainly: “On April 1, 2026, decedent arrived via Missouri Valley Fire and Rescue to defendant’s hospital and was pronounced deceased. During his lifetime, decedent did not authorize anatomical gifts of his body in any manner.” That could not be clearer.

Making matters significantly worse, court filings allege that the hospital incorrectly identified an aunt as the next of kin with authority to authorize anatomical gift decisions — despite possessing information that Gillespie had biological children. The lawsuit is explicit on this point: the aunt “was not the decedent’s next of kin nor was she ever appointed to make legal or healthcare decisions on decedent’s behalf under a durable power of attorney or similar instrument. Decedent also did not authorize [the aunt] to make anatomical gifts on decedent’s behalf.”

The Iowa Donor Network harvested his organs that same day. His body was then transported to Hennessey Funeral Home in Missouri Valley for cremation. His daughters, who describe themselves as having been “reasonably available to make decisions,” say they were never contacted at all.

Gubbels and Stoddard are now seeking more than $75,000 in damages for malpractice, fraud, and negligent infliction of emotional distress, though no dollar amount can truly account for what was taken from this family.

Martin Gillespie served his country in uniform. He deserved to have his final wishes, and his legal rights, honored and protected. Instead, his family was robbed of the most basic dignity afforded to the deceased, and his daughters were denied the right to make decisions that were legally and morally theirs to make. Someone at that hospital needs to be held fully accountable.

Sore Loser Kamala Harris Wants To Blow Up The Supreme Court, Electoral College, And Pretty Much Everything Else (VIDEO)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Losing badly has a funny way of making people want to change the rules of the game, and Kamala Harris is proving that point spectacularly. After getting thoroughly rejected by the American people in the 2024 presidential election, the former Vice President is back with a wish list of radical institutional changes that should alarm every freedom-loving American.

Speaking during a livestream hosted by the “Win With Black Women” podcast, Harris urged Democrats to embrace what she called an “expanded playbook” heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond. “I think that we need an expanded playbook in a way that we invite all ideas,” Harris said. “This is a moment where there are no bad ideas, a no bad idea brainstorm is what I’d like to call it.” No bad ideas. From the woman who couldn’t coherently explain a single policy position for two years straight. Buckle up.

The laundry list Harris rolled out was breathtaking in its scope: Supreme Court expansion, gutting the Electoral College, new ethics rules targeting Supreme Court justices, statehood for Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, and replacing traditional congressional districts with multi-member systems that would fundamentally rewire how House elections work in America. In other words, when Democrats lose fair and square, the solution is to dismantle every institution that allowed the loss to happen.

Harris specifically revived the toxic court-packing scheme, referencing “Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court” — a proposal that went nowhere during the Biden years because even some Democrats recognized it for the power grab it is. She also suggested Congress should “put into place rules to penalize people for lying” during Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Rich coming from a party whose members have spent years making demonstrably false statements from their own Senate seats without consequence.

Republicans fired back immediately. Sen. Mike Lee mocked Harris’ comments online with a simple, perfectly timed response: “Well, maybe a few bad ideas.”

OutKick writer Ian Miller pointed out perhaps the most delicious irony of the entire spectacle, noting, “The funniest part about this is that she lost the popular vote too.” So much for that argument.

The Electoral College exists precisely to ensure that a handful of densely populated urban centers don’t dictate the fate of the entire nation, a protection the Founders built in deliberately. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, has nine justices for good reason, and packing it with partisan appointments would permanently destroy public trust in the one branch of government still regarded as somewhat independent.

Harris lost. America decided. The answer isn’t to burn down the institutions, it’s to come up with better ideas. And based on this livestream, that particular challenge remains very much unsolved.
