Rep. Brandon Gill is publicly opposing an immigration bill that he argues would provide amnesty for illegal aliens, even though it is being pushed by some members of the Republican Party.
The legislation, H.R. 4393, is formally titled the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025.
The bill’s full name is the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025.” It was introduced in July by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, along with Democrat co-sponsor Rep. Veronica Escobar.
According to Gill, the bill’s Spanish acronym “DIGNIDAD” is an insult on top of the policy itself.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Gill wrote, “It’s actually not called the ‘Dignity Act’ It’s called the ‘DIGNIDAD Act’ It’s in a foreign language for added insult.”

In another post, Gill wrote, “The clearest way for Republicans to tell our voters we viscerally hate them is passing the ‘Dignity Act’ or any other amnesty bill.”

“The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters,” Gill added.

The bill surprisingly has bipartisan support, with 39 cosponsors.
Among the Republican cosponsors are Reps. Michael Lawler, David Valadao, Dan Newhouse, Mike Kelly, Brian Fitzpatrick, Gabe Evans, Marlin Stutzman, Don Bacon, Young Kim, Mario Díaz-Balart, and others.
Proponents, including Rep. Salazar, insist the measure is not amnesty.
They describe it as a “Dignity Program” that would allow certain illegal aliens who have been in the U.S. for years to earn temporary legal work status after paying restitution, back taxes, and meeting other requirements.
The bill also includes border security provisions such as mandatory E-Verify, physical barriers, technology upgrades, and asylum reforms.
Salazar’s office has repeatedly asserted that it offers “no path to citizenship” and “no federal benefits.”

No amnesty. No amnesty-lite. No “path to citizenship.” No “Dignity Act.” This is a red line.
The left has weaponized mass migration for decades – transforming our country economically, culturally and politically.
We absolutely cannot codify their lawlessness.
— Congressman Brandon Gill (@RepBrandonGill) January 28, 2026

Critics, including Gill, counter that any legalization program for people who entered the country illegally constitutes amnesty and undermines the clear mandate voters delivered for strict enforcement and mass deportations.

83-year-old Joe Biden was recently spotted at a coffee shop in Delaware.
The video was posted to TikTok last week although it is unclear when it was taken.
The former president looked feeble and exhausted as he shuffled around the shop.
Barely anyone noticed Joe Biden.

Biden greeted patrons before exiting the café.
“Hi, I’m Melissa,” the TikTok user said.
Biden barely acknowledged her before he shuffled away.

Joe Biden has largely stayed out of the public eye after leaving office and revealing a cancer diagnosis.
But every once in a while Biden crawls out of hiding to attack President Trump.
Last month, Biden unleashed an attack on President Trump during a ‘surprise’ appearance at a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast in Boston, Massachusetts.
Biden accused the Trump Administration of carrying out violent acts against “immigrants” and “families.”
“Let’s not lose sight of the bonds we share with today’s immigrants, families who are enduring fear and violence at the hands … of our government,” Biden said.
“That’s not who we are. That’s not who America is,” Biden said, according to the Boston Globe.
Last month Joe Biden delivered a rambling speech at Jesse Jackson’s funeral.
Biden told the crowd that he’s smarter than everyone in the room.
In early March Joe Biden slammed President Trump during a political event in South Carolina.
Joe Biden absurdly claimed that HE closed the border – NOT President Trump.
“The day I left office, border crossings in the United States were lower than the day that I entered that office and inherited from Trump. He’s – I won’t say it,” Biden said.
“On the day I left office, I handed Trump the strongest economy in the world! In the world! And that’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact!” Biden said even though near record inflation was crushing Americans in January 2025.

Brits were all angry at Trump, saying the UK ‘doesn’t even have a navy’ – but then, you have this.
HMS Dragon is the only Royal Navy warship deployed in the conflict zone with Iran, but even this solitary destroyer has headed to port due to maintenance issues.

“In the latest saga involving HMS Dragon, the Type 45 destroyer that was sent to the warzone weeks after the fighting began is having to pull out.
The Daily Mail learned late last week that the warship was suffering issues with its water supplies affecting provisions to its sailors. The Ministry of Defense denied the claims but today admitted that HMS has sailed to a safe berth to undergo repairs.”

Their “defund the police” program isn’t working out so well.. pic.twitter.com/m030jn29ev

During the Democrats’ efforts to defund the police, they said it would be better to send in social workers rather than armed police officers.
Well, the city of Boston more or less tried that. The police officers had to save the social worker from being stabbed to death by a guy with a sword.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Ever since George Floyd, the left has been pushing to not only defund the police, but to replace them with social workers in some cases.
It’s an incredibly stupid idea. Even seasoned police never really know what they’re walking into when they get an emergency call.
In the liberal city of Boston, they recently sent a social worker on a call and he ended up getting attacked by a crazy man with a sword. Luckily, there were police on scene as well. The suspect was shot and ultimately died.
Mass Daily News reports:
After George Floyd they promised social workers would replace cops — one just got attacked with a sword in Boston
The clinician talked to the man through the door for the better part of an hour. Then he opened it and attacked, striking both the clinician and an officer with what Police Commissioner Michael Cox described as “some sort of sword.” Officers fired a Taser and their weapons. The man was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead.
The radical left can try to hide from the truth, but they fought tooth and nail to defund police in many of America’s major cities.
If the police are defunded, who will come to save the lives of the social workers when they are attacked by sword-wielding criminals?

President Trump on Tuesday evening announced a double-sided ceasefire and agreed to suspend his planned military strikes on Iran after speaking with the Pakistani Prime Minister.
Oil prices plunged below $100 a barrel after President Trump’s ceasefire announcement.
“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump said on Truth Social.
“The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East,” Trump said.
“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated,” the president said.
“On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump added.

Iran has reportedly accepted the ceasefire announced by President Trump, according to The New York Times and the Associated Press.

Early Tuesday morning President Trump said a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran did not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!” President Trump said very early Tuesday morning.

Later Tuesday Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asked President Trump to extend his deadline for two weeks.
“Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks,” Shehbaz Sharif said in a post on X.
“Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region,” he said.

Late last month, President Trump threatened to obliterate Iran’s power plants if they don’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump previously said.
President Trump then extended the deadline, citing ongoing negotiations with Iran.
President Trump’s warning comes as Iran is only allowing certain ships, including oil tankers, to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to all oil tankers and vessels except for a few approved ships.
Oil spiked last month amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian attacks on Qatar’s oil facility.
20% of the world’s oil supply goes through the Straight of Hormuz.

U.S. Marshals raided the upscale home of former Republican lobbyist Jim Courtovich, enforcing a federal court order tied to a $4 million judgment stemming from allegations of financial misconduct.
Courtovich, the founder of Sphere Consulting and a fixture on the K Street party circuit, once rubbed elbows with media elites and GOP heavyweights.
During the 2016 Republican primary, Courtovich supported Jeb Bush, one of Trump’s main rivals. He reportedly did not vote in the 2016 general election.
According to a report from The New York Times and journalist Brody Mullins, a team of armed federal agents arrived at Courtovich’s multimillion-dollar residence near Kalorama just before 10 a.m., loudly announcing their presence and warning they were prepared to forcibly enter if necessary.
The raid enforces a federal court judgment ordering him to repay $4 million-plus, in what Saudi-backed investors claim was a brazen breach of contract and outright fraud.
“US Marshals this morning raided the home of Jim Courtovich, the once-high flying Republican lobbyist & fixer.
Saudi & other business partners had won a judgment against him for stealing $4m, & the raid was an effort to collect, reports Brody Mullins, who was on the scene & has a lively dispatch in his new Influence newsletter.”

According to Mullins:
A team of a half-dozen federal agents arrived at Courtovich’s mulitmillion-dollar home near Kalorama a few minutes before 10 a.m.
“U.S. Marshals,” they yelled while banging on his front door for several minutes. A dog barked inside.
“We can break your door down, I’d rather not.”
Courtovich eventually came to the door and was asked to step outside. He was shown the court papers.
Agents entered the property, where they remain.
A few minutes at 10 a.m., moving vans pulled up outside the residence.
The saga began back in 2015, when the Saudi-linked LLC handed Courtovich $4 million. Half was supposed to help purchase his swanky Massachusetts Avenue rowhouse on Capitol Hill, with the rest invested in his lobbying firm, SGR LLC, Politico reported.
Courtovich allegedly used portions of the cash for personal expenses, including back taxes, while failing to deliver the promised equity stake in his company or honor the loan terms. The investors claimed he even took out a mortgage on the property against the agreement’s explicit rules.
Fast-forward to 2018: Woodland Drive sued Courtovich in federal court in D.C. After years of legal wrangling, Courtovich signed a settlement in June 2024 agreeing to pay $1.25 million by late July and hand over a deed of trust on the townhouse.
He admitted liability for the full $4 million if he defaulted. But Courtovich allegedly blew past the deadline – no payment, no deed. By August 2024, the LLC was back in court, demanding the full judgment, plus interest and attorney’s fees.
Things escalated further in July 2025 when a judge held Courtovich in civil contempt for failing to turn over basic financial documents. Daily fines kicked in at $250, then ramped up to $1,000 per day. Courtovich’s team has claimed some sort of side deal with the family.

NEW: A federal court has ruled that lobbyist Jim Courtovich is in contempt of court for not providing financial information to Saudi-backed investors whom the court says he owes millions to and will be fined $250 per day for 2 weeks and $1K per day after. https://t.co/xWFH5b9YLM pic.twitter.com/HPts6MMvvB

The Panama Canal is a vital waterway in the Western Hemisphere – Foreign Powers still have their sights on it.
Two days after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called out China for detaining dozens of Panama-flagged vessels, a huge explosion under a bridge in the Canal area revived fear of out-of-control sabotage.
The New York Post reported:
“Apocalyptic footage shows the moment a fuel tanker exploded under a bridge near the Panama Canal, almost engulfing traffic in a fireball.”

Panamanian authorities closed the bridge while firefighters investigated the explosion and engineers assessed the damage.
Associated Press reported:
“The blast on Panama’s Bridge of the Americas took place about 4 p.m. on Monday, and security camera footage captured a massive fireball rising toward the top of the bridge that connects Panama’s capital with an airport and numerous suburbs to the west. Several cars were on the bridge during the explosion but their drivers were not hurt by the flames.
Authorities said that one fuel truck worker died in the explosion. Two firefighters were injured as they extinguished the flames.
[…] Engineers warned the fire may have affected the integrity of the decades-old bridge, a key link between Panama City and the west of the country.”

Ever since George Floyd, the left has been pushing to not only defund the police, but to replace them with social workers in some cases.
It’s an incredibly stupid idea. Even seasoned police never really know what they’re walking into when they get an emergency call.

Mass Daily News reports:
After George Floyd they promised social workers would replace cops — one just got attacked with a sword in Boston
In the summer of 2020, after the death of George Floyd and the protests that followed, the far left decided cops were the problem. Their theory? Armed officers escalate mental health crises. Send social workers and clinicians instead, and people would stop getting hurt. On Saturday in Boston, one of those clinicians was attacked with a sword.
The clinician was knocked to the ground inside an apartment building on Hemenway Street, steps from Northeastern University’s campus. A police officer was stabbed in the arm. The man who attacked them, apparently in the grip of paranoid delusions, was shot by other officers and later died at a hospital. He had spent close to 45 minutes talking to the clinician through his locked door before he opened it…
They called in a worker from Boston’s BEST program, a co-responder model where master’s-level mental health professionals ride alongside officers to de-escalate crisis calls. This isn’t some half-baked experiment. The program has been running since 2011, nine years before George Floyd, and handled 4,230 encounters in 2023 alone with twelve clinicians working the streets seven days a week.
The clinician talked to the man through the door for the better part of an hour. Then he opened it and attacked, striking both the clinician and an officer with what Police Commissioner Michael Cox described as “some sort of sword.” Officers fired a Taser and their weapons. The man was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead.
Who could have predicted such a thing? Besides everyone.
Even Democrats have begun to admit that the idea of defunding the police was a massive mistake.
And remember, this is what Zohran Mamdani now wants to do in New York City, which has a much more serious crime problem than Boston, just by nature of its size. What could possibly go wrong?

Billy Bush recently appeared on the new Sean Hannity podcast and said that after the 2016 election, ABC News devoted an entire division of people to taking down Trump.
This is not exactly shocking news, but it is a third party confirmation of what Trump supporters have known for years – That the media has been out to ‘get’ Trump since the moment he won the presidency. Before that, even.
Of course, left wing networks like MSNOW are devoted to the same purpose, but at least they are up front about their biases. ABC News pretends to maintain some semblance of objectivity.
Townhall has details:
Not that you didn’t already know this, but the media hates Donald Trump. Still, the resources they dedicate to ending this man’s career in public life are staggering, yet they still fail to stop him. At every turn, Trump and his team outthink, outmaneuver, and even humiliate the liberal media…
During an episode of Sean Hannity’s podcast, Billy Bush revealed that ABC News has a 75-person team dedicated solely to finding ways to undermine Donald Trump. In 2016, Bush was criticized for joking with Trump.
He was caught on audio from an old segment where the soon-to-be-president discussed grabbing women; it was considered a non-issue. However, it cost Bush his job on the Today Show, where he was suspended and later fired. His wife eventually divorced him.
You know, other outlets have similar crews, and yet the man got his job back in 2024, even when everyone thought he was finished after the 2020 contest.
Never count out Trump. Also, it’s funny how the ’24 race was a cycle: the polls were wrong again, the pundits were wrong again, the night was short again, the Democrats got walloped again, and the liberal media thought the Democrat would cruise to another win.
See the video below:

Republican Steve Hilton, currently the top-polling candidate for CA governor. Screencap of YouTube video.
President Trump has officially endorsed former FOX News host and analyst, Republican Steve Hilton, in the race for governor of California.
Hilton and the other Republican in the race have been polling extremely well in this cycle and some worry that now that Trump has endorsed Hilton, the other GOP candidate will fade to the background, making room for one of the Democrat candidates on the ballot.
Either way, California is in desperate need of change and a Republican governor would be the biggest change the state has seen in years.
Hilton would be a great fit for the job.
FOX News has details:
President Trump makes endorsement in California gubernatorial race: ‘He will be a GREAT Governor’
President Donald Trump has endorsed Steve Hilton in the California gubernatorial race.
“I have known and respected Steve Hilton, who is running for Governor of California, for many years. He is a truly fine man, one who has watched as this once great State has gone to Hell,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post about Hilton, a former Fox News host, on Monday.
“Gavin Newscum and the Democrats have done an absolutely horrendous job. People are fleeing, crime is increasing, and Taxes are the highest of any State in the Country, maybe the World. Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so! With Federal help, and a Great Governor, like Steve Hilton, California can be better than ever before! Steve Hilton has my COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. He will be a GREAT Governor and, importantly, WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!!!” the president declared in the post…
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump,” Hilton said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “California should be the best place in the world to follow your dreams, raise a family, start and grow a business. We have everything we need to lead our country again. But after 16 years of one-party rule, we have the highest poverty rate, highest unemployment rate, and highest cost of living in America.
In the video below, Brit Hume of FOX News explains the primary concern and how this endorsement could potentially help Democrats.
